"My master wants to speak four eyes." Lucas said. The situation was so messy that it made Daniel immediately feel something strange.
"Darling you go in first." Pinta Daniel to Bella who actually intends to go to the funeral.
"Yes Brother." Slowly, Bella entered the house. But he did not fully enter as he stood beside the door, eavesdropping on the conversation.
Daniel turned to make sure Bella had actually entered the house. His gaze turned to Lucas who looked helplessly bowed.
"What happened Lucas?" Ask Daniel lirih.
"The warehouse is burning sir." Bella's eyes were round hearing that, and so was Daniel." Someone intentionally burned it." Daniel was still unmoved and silent. It took her a beating until she decided to sit on the porch." I'm sorry, sir. Forgive me." Lucas was downcast and increasingly helpless. Looked at Daniel's face, which was back in despair.
I don't even have a penny..
"How can you?" Ask Daniel lirih.
"There was someone who hit me and when I woke up. The fire has grown and the people are already swarming."
This must be that guy!!! Bella decided to enter. He didn't want Daniel to catch him eavesdropping on the conversation.
"Ohhh God..." Eluh Daniel clutched his head tightly." Is there nothing Lucas can save?" Dizziness immediately spread because Daniel did not know what kind of steps to take. It was his last money and no more money.
And if he takes out a loan. The burden will get heavier, considering Marco is still around him.
"Stock delivery for today even forfeited sir." Lucas took out his wallet and put the ATM on the table." There are about 700 million masters. I can only take responsibility by giving it away. I'm really sorry for everything." Daniel took a deep breath and tried to be calm.
"Can't be Lucas. The funds are not enough even very less."
"Wouldn't we borrow an ATM in that box first sir. If the company's up, you can give it back again." Daniel looked at Lucas. When he mentioned about the black box Bastian's legacy is actually still neatly stored somewhere.
"Don't talk about it!! Didn't I warn you!!" Daniel's eyes highlight if he's very upset when Lucas talks about the box." That's not my right! You understand Lucas? I don't use that money! This is the last warning to you! Don't talk about it until he knows about it!!" Daniel whispered but was full of emphasis.
"I'm sorry, sir. I'm just giving you advice."
"I want to get to the location but not today. If it can no longer be maintained. I'll get the pay for the employees."
"Let me take care of it."
"No Lucas. It's my responsibility." I knew it wouldn't be easy as long as Marco was around me. I really need your help, Joy... I don't know how to get rid of someone. I'm having trouble with that. I just want to live quietly without any distractions from him. But I don't know how..
Daniel felt that there was no point in pretending to forget memories. He believes the fire was the work of Marco because he did not have any enemies.
His goal was to feign amnesia, none other than wanting to avoid Marco from interfering with his life. But it felt that it could not, because what was being sought now was Daniel's most valuable treasure, Bella.
Daniel was still talking to Lucas. Bella was in the room and was burdened with the disaster that Daniel got back.
I'm sure that fucking guy did it..

Ccleks...
The door opened, Bella changed her face and pretended to be lying down while playing with her phone. He was suffocated in shock, when Daniel suddenly lay down beside him while hugging his body tightly. His head was drowned beside his shoulder as if asking for strength.
Whether Brother Daniel will tell you a story or not...
"Although ugly, isn't it more comfortable to sleep here dear." Daniel kissed Bella's cheek for a moment and then lay on his back.
He won't tell you so I better pretend I don't know..
"Yes Brother. Did Lucas' brother just fall?" Bella rests her head on Daniel's arm and tilts her body towards him.
"Yes dear. I told you to get medicine." Daniel answered softly with eyes full of despair.
I should be able to be a little proud of myself because the company is growing fast. But now? It's all ruined and I don't know what else to do.. There's only 30 million left after I transfer for the salaries of the employees..
"Em so.." Bella's hand coiled around Daniel's muscular stomach and pretended to close her eyes on his shoulder." I'm still sleepy Brother." Bella muttered that she wanted to make room for Daniel so that his feelings could improve.
"Sleep if so. But we haven't had breakfast."
"Sister Daniel hungry?"
"No matter how much, I ordered something for you to eat and continue sleeping."
"Let's go, brother. Stay with me, don't go." The words from Bella gave him strength, so his heart gradually improved.
"This is seriously my wife, Bella?" Temptation Daniel smiled. Bella opened her round eyes while showing her flat teeth.
"Didn't we both know each other's feelings."
"Not awkward?" Daniel plays Bella's haircut and looks at her lovingly.
"Just a little."
"May that little one quickly disappear."
"Hm... I really want to sleep." Bella closed her eyes again and buried her head in the chest of Daniel's field.
Daniel smiled, humming a little like what he used to do when he put Bella to bed at night.
Looks like I'm gonna have to find a job...
Bella hears a heavy breath blowing so she is able to feel how desperate Daniel is feeling right now.
If working. I don't have to spend capital..
I'm sick to see you, brother...
"I told you. If you haven't slept, don't close your eyes." Daniel's Protest.
"Still trying."
"She was sleepy, why try?" Bella feels wasted and decides to sit down.
"To the grave of Brother Bas yuk." His face twisted his body a little. Daniel sat down and smiled at Bella.
I'm sure the smile is fake...
"Not to sleep." Bella shook her head." Find breakfast." Bella stood up and returned Daniel's smile.
"Yes Brother. Come on.." Daniel stands up and leads Bella out of the room to grant Bella's request to visit Bastian's grave.
**************
Roy stands next to his luxury car, watching Marco's house look aloof. Andra tells her to spy on Marco to find out the truth of the email he sent Joy. His hand grabbed the cigarette butt on his lips and threw it away.
Roy re-entered the car, then parked it right in front of the towering fence of the house. He got down from there and walked over to the housekeeper.
"Is this really Mr. Daniel's house?" Ask Roy kindly.
The housekeeper who had been threatened, felt confused had to answer so that Roy could read the look on his confused face.
"Why Sir?" Roy gently patted the housekeeper's shoulder.
"It's okay, sir."
"Then? Is this Mr Daniel's house?" Roy asked again.
"Ep.. Nope. This is Mr. Marco's house." With a vibrating voice. The housekeeper uttered according to Marco's orders.
Wahh.. It's getting suspicious like this..
"I'm sure Mr. Daniel's house is around here."
"Maybe sir's wrong complex." The housekeeper smiled strangely.
"Can't be wrong. I've come here even though I did forget the location a little." The housekeeper nodded while paying attention to the second floor of the house.
Maybe Mr. Marco is still sleeping...
"It used to be, but now this house belongs to Mr. Marco." Say the housekeeper who incidentally someone who is honest and never lies. His mouth will feel itchy if you say a lie like now.
"Did Mr Daniel sell it?"
"No Sir. I also do not understand. Daniel suddenly disappeared after that day. I beg you not to talk to Mr. Marco because I'm afraid to get angry. I just don't know who to complain about. Is Mr. Daniel's best friend?"
"Yes, I'm a good friend. I know him well, even though I haven't seen him in years. For Mr. Marco's problems, you take it easy. Besides I don't know who Marco is, I can't possibly say this to him either." The housekeeper smiled in relief, although his eyes were still staring towards the second floor." Who is marco?" Of course this is used by Roy to dig deeper info.
"Pir Daniel's hands."
"Why do you say this is his house?"
"That's your order. I myself also mentioned why Mr. Marco admitted that this is his home."
Gee whiz... Like a story of a traitor..
"So Mr. Daniel's not on vacation?"
"If you're on vacation, the clothes will be brought. But Mr. Daniel's shirt has been dumped by Mr. Marco in the trash with other stuff."
At first the housekeeper did not know if it was not for a scavenger who asked about the good clothes in the big black plastic.
The scavenger shows Daniel's clothes that are usually worn every day. The housekeeper checked and was surprised to see the contents inside the black plastic bag.
"Disposed of?"
"Yes, sir." Roy nodded and took his wallet." You have a cell phone." Roy asked, taking his business card.
"It used to have but is now broken. Want to buy also think about it because the salary given by Mr. Marco is small."
"This is my business card." Roy offered his card and it was taken by the housekeeper." Just a moment, sir." Roy walks up to his fancy car and picks up a phone that's already equipped with a tracker." Wear this." The housekeeper looked up, looking at the expensive cell phone in front of him.
"For me?"
"Hm yes. If there's something, can you tell me?"
"But I'm afraid of you sir." Roy read the innocence of the housekeeper and he could take his chance from there.
"If you don't help me, it's the same way you cover up Mr. Marco's crime. That's a criminal sir, you could be thrown in jail." Roy's words suddenly scared the housekeeper.
"Don't Mister. My son is still in school, if I'm in jail, what's their fate."
"Then help me from that."
"How is it, sir."
"Easy it." Roy tells the housekeeper to keep an eye on Marco's activities while at home. He immediately agreed without a fight with a small bluff that Roy threw.
*************
After the funeral, Bella intends to find a simple breakfast around there. Daniel forbid it, he did not want Bella to hear blasphemy again from the surrounding residents who always speak without evidence.
But all that is not entirely wrong, because the relationship between the two is not clear. Staying one roof without marriage ties, certainly makes people think of various things and visit Bella as a mistress.
"Wrap two, Mom." Bella sat down while Daniel stood up.
"From my grave." Bu Dina said while preparing an order for pecel rice.
"Yes, Mom." Ms. Dina glanced at Daniel who did look very handsome and mature.
Right said Mothers. Bella young girl, live one roof with this handsome guy. Ms. Dina glanced at the dress that Bella was wearing now. If you don't do anything, it's weird. Too bad, though his brother is nice and polite but his sister is like this. Wouldn't it be better to look for her mother's brother than to have to stay one roof with a stranger..
"Think what Mom." Sontak Bu Dina smiled strangely and continued her activities of wrapping food.
"Eh, don't want Bell."
"How are the rumors about me?" Ms. Dina immediately put on a strange face while laughing loosely.
"What rumors are Bell's?" Daniel took a deep breath but Bella grabbed his fingers and accompanied him to attach her body.
"Mom pretended not to know hehe."
"Truly don't know Nak Bella." Bu Dina glanced back at Bella's attitude as if showing her affection with Daniel.
"Mom's got a daughter, shouldn't I be able to keep my mouth shut." In fact, Bella deliberately bought at that place because she often got a report from Erin about Bu Dina who even fanned the gossip fire until it became increasingly heated.
"But it's true, Nak Bella. What's appropriate." Finally, Miss Dina was ignited by Bella's words. Daniel bowed and whispered something to Bella's ear but of course Bella did not hear.
"That's our business, ma'am. I make sure Mom doesn't take her sins because of the distance from Mother's house."
"What about the neighbors. It can hide bad luck." Bella chuckles because the neighbors around already know about Bella's marriage even though they are silent.
"It's important that you're not the unlucky mother."
"Yes, that can't be Nak Bella. His name lives in the village must maintain manners. Not because Nak Bella no longer have parents so do as he pleases now. Doesn't Nak Bella know that the deceased is famous here but must be smeared because of Bella's own behavior." Indeed, Bu Nina's words have a point but the problem is, he added the spice of lies to the relationship of Bella and Daniel to gossip about the mistress in the air.
"What am I really doing, Mom?"
"Son Bella isn't married yet, how is it possible to live one roof with this man." He pointed towards Daniel.
"We never do anything that is not-no ma'am, even the RT chairman also allows." Daniel chimed in.
"Satan is strong, how not to do anything."
"Especially the demon like Bu Nina who likes to gossip. It's even stronger." Bu Dina rounded her eyes to look at Bella." How much rice pecel." Bella Imbuh.
"It's free! No need to pay! I consider it charity because I don't want to accept money from a girl like you!!" Daniel took a deep breath again even though Bella looked so relaxed.
"Don't do it, Mom. Later I will not feel good on my own to make Miss Dina lose." Bella opened her small wallet and put down a hundred thousand dollars.
"I don't need it!!"
"Darling.." Daniel's speech was accidentally thrown so that it further strengthens Ms. Dina's guess.
"It's gonna get caught." Ms. Dina again pointed at Daniel disrespectfully." He called you baby!!" Imb is crazy.
"We love each other." Daniel patted his forehead softly hearing Bella's reply.
"Curtain!! How disgusting!! Your brother will cry in the afterlife if he sees his sister's behavior like this!!"
"My sister smiled Mom. Do not spread rumors to people who have died. Thanks for the rice pecel." Ms. Dina squeezed the money out of Bella and threw it away.
"Take the money." Bella looked over and took the money.
"Mothers are looking for money, not to be wasted like this." Bella put her money back on the table.
"Before judging me. Value first Mother's own son who likes to play in the corner." Bella, Erin and Sari often find Bu Dina's children dating in the corner of the village boundary precisely in an abandoned building.
"Amit-amit my son like you!!"
"That's why Bu hehe." Bu Dina's eyes are getting lit up.
"I report you to Mr. RT so you can get kicked out of here!!" Threaten Miss Dina.
"Please do. I also swore that my son would be what you're accusing me of."
"Duhh was a smart kid to argue, what do you want to be."
"So the president." Daniel smiled faintly when he realized that Bella was responding to everything with a joke.
"So look at you Bell. I'm reporting you to be completely kicked out of here."
"Mother who will drive away Mother's own son."
"Don't talk to you!!"
"If I never spoke to you, ma'am. Moreover, the results are downloaded from playing in the corner of the village if not pregnant first."
"So your mouth is Bella!!!"
"Mom should also keep her mouth. I never messed around but Ms. Dina spread rumors that were not-nothing. Just keep doing it! My ears are thick! But, what if the gossip leads to the mother's own child! Haha, it's not funny." Bella put her pecel rice on the table." I'm also unclean eating this pecel." Bella smiled and then led Daniel away leaving Bu Dina whose heart was heating up.
I will gather the Mothers to report Bella to the head of RT!!! Just look at Bella!!!
.
.
.
"If you knew your purpose like that, I wouldn't drop you there, baby." Daniel started driving his car.
"I just want to talk well, sister, but Miss Dina is like that."
"If you know that, why is it still in ladeni?"
"I also want to warn him about his oldest son who likes to play in the corner hehe." Daniel shook his head while taking a deep breath.
"If you do, he's getting mad like that."
"Let it heat up and burn! Erin always said that because she heard from her mother. His own son is not right." Daniel smiled, looking at Bella's pursed lips.
"Where are we having breakfast?"
"Message only. I want to laze all day." Bella leaned her back and stared out the window.
"Hm okay."
Tomorrow Sari will bring the product to school. So I can try it for testimonial ingredients and for treatment so that my skin can be cleaner than Brother Daniel..
"Can't I take a little money?" Ask Bella slowly.
"Money at the ATM?" Bella nodded." Just take it, let me take it." Daniel is smiling.
"Don't ask me what?"
"No, baby, that's your right."
Suddenly, Bella's phone shook. He picked it up and saw Erin's number on the screen.
"Where?
"On the road.
"I went to your house but Daniel's car wasn't there.
"It's coming home. Bring food, hehe.
"Yes make breakfast.
"God.. Love love for you.
"If in love free new love love. Where have you been? I'm with Sari.
"A little more. Yes wait.
"OKAY.
Bella ended her call while clutching her phone.
"No need to order Brother. Erin gives me free breakfast."
"So they went home?" Daniel's smile expands because he will get a chance to go to the warehouse that is burning for a while.
"Yes." Yeah."
"If I go to the barn for a while, are you okay, baby?" Ask Daniel slowly.
"Yes, it's okay." Bella replied smiling though her heart instantly turned bad when Daniel reminded her of the burning warehouse.
"Just a minute, baby."
"But breakfast is first."
"Later. I'll make sure it's just a minute and then I go home."
"It can't be if it's not breakfast." Bella replied whining.
"Okay, let's have breakfast and then I'll go." Bella nodded and looked back out the window.
I want to slap that fucking guy!!!
***************
Nara picks up Joy's vibrating phone, while Joy is playing with Abel in front. When you see the name Andra on the screen, Nara becomes very excited to receive the call.
"Hello.
"Miss Nara?
"Hm Brother, how is it.
"It's not clear yet, miss. But for the initial guess, Mr. Daniel was deliberately removed Marco.
"Erased how?
"Roy had already chatted with his housekeeper and all the evidence pointed to it.
"So Daniel's brother disappeared?
"Hm yes Miss. Either they just disappear or they don't exist in this world. Roy's still looking for information on that.
"God.. How could Daniel be treated like that?
"He was too kind and thought everyone was good.
"There's so much pity.
"It's still unclear, miss. I'm telling you because maybe Miss is waiting.
"Yes I was waiting.
"Let me know again if I get any new information.
"Yes Brother. Thanks yeah.
"Yes Miss. Glad to serve.
Nara squeezes her phone with both hands, she walks out of the room to meet Joy who is still watching Abel dye the picture.
"What's going on?" Joy immediately stood up as she looked at Bella's anxious face.
"Mommy look at Abel's drawings." Abel showed her artificial image with a plain smile.
"Gosh Mommy's son is so smart." Nara smiled loosely and kissed Abel's forehead for a moment." Abel go on, Mommy wants to talk to Daddy." Imbuh Nara explained.
"Daddy and Mommy are going out." Nara chuckled and sat down beside Abel.
"Who told you?"
"Justin says. If there are men and women close to each other, it means they're dating." Joy shook her head staring lovingly at Abel.
"Do you know what dating means?"
"Close friend."
"It's so good."
"Justin is Abel's girlfriend. He's nice and always helps Abel."
"OKAY. Later on the story. Mommy wants to talk to Daddy for a minute."
"Okay Mommy." Nara gently rubs Abel's head and accompanies Joy to talk outside.
"So Andra called dear." Nara said slowly.
"How are you?" Joy answered him with a lazy tone.
"Sister Daniel's missing."
"It's so good." Nara took a deep breath, staring in annoyance at Joy.
"That's nasty. He's your friend."
"No already. We haven't seen each other in a long time."
"Although so. Don't do that to her."
"How else would it go if it disappeared?"
"I don't understand why you're so bad, baby! Just because you're jealous, you don't care about someone like Daniel! He never looked at you bad! But you always look at him badly!" Joy turned her head, looking at Nara's bead that began to glaze over.
"You crying?" Ask Joy in panic. Nara stood up and looked at him sharply with tears beginning to fall.
No more God.. I even remember how sensitive she felt when she was pregnant with Abel..
"You're going to have two kids. How can you still not have a heart!!" Joy stands up and will reach for Nara's fingers but Nara dodges.
"How can I not be jealous if you care so much about her."
"Yes, just keep on being jealous! I will go to Indonesia with Abel and help Brother Daniel with my own hands!!" Nara walks in, while Joy looks at her glued.
"of course. I lost to those two women." Joy follows Nara with Abel.
"To Indonesia Mom? Not to Korea. I want to see Eun Wo Oppa."
"In Indonesia there is also a dear. You want to come with Mommy, right?"
"Well, I will." Abel put the crayon down and stood up." Dad, we're going to Indonesia to meet Eun Wo Oppa." Joy smiled strangely and scratched her non-itchy head.
"Daddy will be here. He won't come." Sahut Nara.
"What a jealous Daddy?"
"Yes!" Answer Nara quickly.
"Even though dad is handsome too. But not to be confirmed." Nara chuckled inwardly hearing Abel's innocent remarks to Joy.
"Hey what is that? Daddy's coming along." Joy replied of course succumbed because of her love for Nara and Abel who were able to defeat her ego.
Joy held Abel down and kissed him on the cheek for a moment.
"Me and mom love daddy."
"You double daddy."
"No, no, no. We're both just fans of Eun Woo Oppa." Nara smiled inwardly, seeing the look on Joy's face which of course had to give in.
Her mother's teachings had already completely penetrated her brain.
"Do you understand?"
"Hm yes."
"I love you dad."
"I love you to Baby." Joy smiled as she looked towards Nara." Tell Mama to Forgive Dad." Joy takes Abel down and heads straight to Nara. She brought her little lips closer and whispered something.
"Daddy lost and we won." Nara chuckled while Joy took a deep breath.
"I'll book a ticket now. Because the holidays are coming so I'm afraid it's hard to buy a ticket."
"Two days we're leaving." Sahut Nara made Joy look at her.
"Abel's school?"
"Study group only. So I'm gonna ask the teacher for permission to take a month off."
"Can't be so dear. Abel's education is more important."
"Don't start anymore Joy!!" Joy silences as Nara begins to raise her voice.
"Okay Baby's.. You'll get that." Nara smiled and hugged Joy tightly.
"Thank you dear." Her legs tiptoed and kissed Joy's cheek for a moment." You heard that, baby. We'll meet Eun Wo Oppa soon." Abel grinned with excitement as well as Nara, while Joy put on a flat face watching the two expressionlessly.
