🌹HAPPY READING🌹

A girl was holding onto her chest that felt tight lamenting every grief she experienced. He wanted to feel like he was humbling his whole life, but that wouldn't change everything. Her crying sounded so bitter.

"Mother pick up Runa. Runa was unable to. Runa's only hope is gone, Mother. Please take Runa away, Mother, torch" said Bella weeping over her misfortune.

Runa lashed her chest hoping that the tightness would soon disappear.

Time has shown at one o'clock in the evening. Bella cries in the dark of the room. His mind sounded very sick considering every single thing that happened today.

*Flashback On*

"What do you think, Al?" ibra asked her what she thought of the match with Kinzi.

Al was silent. For a moment Al looked at Bella who was still bowing her head.

"Let's get to know each other first, Abi. Al and Kinzi have not met for a long time, how much better we get to know each other first" said Al. Al answers Ibra's question, but his view is not separated from Bella. Al knew that Bella was crying in silence.

Bella's heart hurts. Indirectly Al agreed the matchmaking. Not strong anymore, Bella excuse me to go back to her room. After that Bella just kept quiet in her room.

*Flashback Off*

"Hiks, Mother. Pick up Runa, Mommy," said Runa.

Dee who felt thirsty in her sleep woke up and immediately went to the kitchen to grab a drink. As he was about to return to the room, Dee faintly heard the sound of crying from the direction of the room near the living room. With a slow and careful step, Dee walked towards the guest room, the origin of the crying sound.

Dee brought her ear to the door to sharpen her hearing. Sure enough, the crying came from inside the room.

"What is Bella?" ask Dee to herself.

Dee tried to open the door slowly.

Successfully, the door is unlocked. Although dim, Dee could see Bella sitting on the floor crying.

Slowly Dee walked over to Bella. Bella is still unaware of Dee's presence. Dee placed the glass filled with water on the table. He sat down and held Bella's trembling shoulders.

Bella looked up to feel a touch on her shoulder. "U-Umi" said Bella as he hiccupped and immediately wiped her tears.

"Bella why, son?" ask Dee gently.

Bella shakes. "I just miss Mommy, Umi," said Bella.

Dee smiled gently at Bella. "Bella can think of Umi as Mother Bella" said Dee.

Bella looked at Dee intently. Dee is just like her mother once was, gentle and beautiful. Even her mother used to dress like Dee.

"May I hug Umi?" bella said carefully.

Dee smiled and nodded. Bella immediately hugged Dee's body tightly. Bella's crying broke again in Dee's arms.

What happened to you, son. Your crying sounds so bitter. Inner Dee could not bear to hear Bella's cry. Moreover, it's been very night.

Dee let Bella cry in her arms. Dee gently rubbed Bella's trembling back.

"Bella, if you want a story, Umi is ready to be a good listener for Bella" said Dee softly.

"Hiks, Umi, does a girl like Bella not deserve love, Umi?" bella said to Dee.

"Everyone deserves love and affection, son," Dee replied.

"Are people like Bella still wanted in this world, Umi?" ask Bella again.

"No human being lives in vain in this world, son," Dee replied.

"But Bella is an evil servant, Umi. Bella betrays God for the love of Papa Bella, Umi, hiks," Bella complained to Dee.

"Son, God always accepts the pardon of every earnest servant" Dee said.

"Will God accept Bella's repentance? Bella has been very insulting to her religion, Umi," said Bella.

"Son, listen to Umi. Allah is forgiving. God cannot forbid his servant who wants to repent" Dee said.

"But Bella's been so outrageous, Umi, hiks," Bella said.

Dee hush. He no longer knew how to talk. He let Bella get her heart out.

"Umi, does Bella not deserve the love of a man that Bella loves Umi?" bella looked at Dee.

"Bella deserved it, son," Dee said.

Bella looked Dee in the eye. "Umi, allow Bella to be a mum for Umi's child," said Bella with a very sad look.

Dee was stunned to hear Bella's words. "Bella loves Al?" ask Dee.

Bella nodded. After that he took something from the bed and gave it to Dee.

"This chalk .." said Dee thinking.

Bella nodded. "This is the necklace of Bella's couple with Mother, Umi. The other one is the same Al," said Bella Lirih at the end of her sentence.

"So, Bella's the little girl?" ask Dee.

With tears in her eyes Bella nodded. Dee immediately brought Bella into his arms again. He did know about this, because as a child, Al told Dee about Bella.

"Bella hurts God to reach out for Papa Bella's affection, Umi, hiks," Bella said.

"Bella knows this is wrong, Umi. Does Bella have no right to go back on the right path, Umi?" ask Bella.

"Bella deserves to be better, son," Dee said.

"Umi, can Bella be a mum in Al, Umi's life?" ask Bella.

Dee nodded. "Stupid in God's hands, son. If Bella is convinced and repents, God will give his best to Bella" Dee said softly.

Bella just nodded in Dee's arms.

What did you do to Bella as sad as this, Al? Inner Dee wondered.

Exhausted from crying, Bella falls asleep in Dee's arms. With little effort, Dee manages to move Bella to her bed. Dee looked at Bella's face fixedly.

"You're a good boy, son. There must be a reason that makes you like this" Dee murmured gently through Bella's forehead.

Dee raises the blanket up Bella's neck. After making sure Bella had a good night's sleep, Dee immediately exited Bella's room and closed the door.

Not to his room, Dee walks into Al's room. She knew it was night, but she believed her son must have not slept. And sure enough, when Dee entered Al's room, Al was still sitting on the bed with a necklace in his hand.

"Al," call Dee.

"Umi," said Al shocked and immediately hid the necklace.

"Umi's not asleep?" al asked.

"Umi wants to talk!" dee said firmly.

"What's up, Umi?" tanya Al who was now standing in front of Dee.

"Did Umi ever teach Umi's son to hurt a woman?" ask Dee.

Al looked at Uminya. "I mean Umi?" al was confused.

"Bella" Dee replied.

Al turned his partner in all directions, avoiding Dee's gaze. "Al just stop hoping, Umi. Al didn't hurt him" Al said.

"Why stop hoping, son?" tanya Dee tried gently.

"Do you know who Bella is?" ask Al.

Dee nodded. "She was a little girl who managed to make little Al Umi give her a gift like a dowry, a set of prayer tools," Dee replied definitely.

"He's different now, Umi" said Al.

"He had a reason for every action, Al" Dee said.

"There is no truth to the servant who betrayed Allah Umi" said Al.

"But no human being has the right to judge the good and bad of another human being, Al!" dee said firmly.

"Al can't live with an apostate, Umi."

"Darling!" pekik Ibra saw Dee slapping her on Al's cheek. Ibra, who awoke from not seeing his wife, wakes up and searches for Dee out of the room. While passing through Al's room, Ibra overhears the voices of Dee and Al arguing. Ibra was surprised to see Dee raising her hand to Al.

Dee's tears fell hearing the words that came out of Al's mouth.

"Did Umi ever teach you to feel better than anyone else, Al? Do not go before God to judge his servant, Al!" dee said firmly.

"Hurt a woman's heart, means you hurt Umi and your sister. You shouldn't judge him, Al. As a good man, lead him on the right path. Do not act as if you are a person of high devotion!" dee continued regardless of Ibra at all.

"It turns out true, the fruit did fall not far from the tree. You who used to defend Umi because of the deeds of your Abu, now also do the same to other girls. You are no different from your brother, Al. If later you regret, do not blame anyone if he has gone and got better than you," said Dee and out left Al and Ibra.

"What's this, Boy? Umi is not usually angry like that" said Ibra trying to calm down. Even though he was upset. Because of his son, his old mistakes were turned back.

Al's body fell to the floor. This was the first time the Umi slapped him. Then he has greatly disappointed Uminya.

"Abi," call Al sad.

Ibra aligns her body with Al. "Please don't repeat Abi's mistake, Boy. Or you'll regret it for life" Ibra said.

"I'm sorry, Abi" said Al with reddened eyes.

"Repair your mistakes before it's too late. Not everyone can be as lucky as Abi who got a second chance from Ummu, Boy," said Ibra.

Al nodded at Ibra's words. "Now rest. Tomorrow persuade Umi and fix everything" said Ibra.

"What's Al bastard, Abi?" al asked as Ibra turned her back to go out of Al's room.

Ibra looked at Al. "You're not an asshole, son. It's just that you chose the wrong way. And one more thing, because of your actions, Abi had to try hard to persuade Umi," said Ibra and immediately went to persuade his wife.

Forgive Al, Umi. Sorry, Runa. Sorry, God. Inner Al regretted his mistake.
