Exchanging Bride
The wedding night Bella
Kiara's wedding night with Aldi went well and without conflict. Although the two do not have a sweet relationship, but Kiara can forget the bad events today because of Aldi. It is different with Bella.
Bella and Bima's bridal night runs hot. But not hot because of their struggle as before. The heat from Bima and Bella's anger colored her second night.
Bima gets a report that Kiara was evicted by Bella from her bridal suite room. In addition, Bella instead of dampening the anger of Bima with good speech, but instead returned to vent her anger to Bima.
Bella brings up the commitment of Bima who wants to seriously connect with Bella but instead embraces Kiara and wants to marry Kiara that day.
Bima whose emotions were peaking even counterattacked Bella's anger.
"I just hugged Kiara, Bel. But I'm the same you did more than that when I was Kiara's fiancee. You are already angry!" Bima did not want to hold back even the slightest bit of his emotions.
"You asked me about my commitment to you. Then you forget that I also had the same commitment as Kiara?" Hearing this from Bima's mouth made Bella tremble.
They are both still in the hotel. In the bridal chamber they both. Bella took two steps back and hit the closet behind her. Shock heard the words Bima.
Bima no longer wants to get more emotional and vent words that will later be regretted by him. Bima decided to leave in front of Bella. Give her and Bella some distance to calm down.
Bima drove his car without direction. It circled around inside the city for hours while thinking about all the events of today. From the beginning of his hope to return to Kiara who got a firm rejection. Then his marriage contract with Bella, to see himself Kiara married Aldi. There is still pain in his heart.
Feeling his chest getting claustrophobic, Bima stopped his car. Bima is in a fairly quiet residential environment. Bima can pull over his car without disturbing other road users. Bima took a box of cigarettes from the dashboard of her car. Lighted and smoked one cigarette until several cigarette butts fell under his feet.
Bima still remembers Kiara's gaze trying to dampen her emotions when Bella invited Bima to pose friendly in a photo session. Bima began to regret following Bella's desire to be friendly in the photo session earlier. Bima shouldn't have hurt Kiara. Bima's intention was initially to show off intimacy with Bella when she was next to Kiara at the pelaminan. Bima wants to make Kiara regret her decision to get Bima to marry Bella. Bima wanted Kiara to regret not accepting Bima's invitation earlier this morning to return to their original position before exchanging brides. But who now regret and feel pain is Bima himself. Bima regretted the distance they were getting farther because of Bima's attitude today. Bima also regretted the results of all that made Kiara more alert when around Bima.
Bima misses Kiara. Bima misses her girl who now belongs to someone else. Bima misses the friendly and warm gaze that Bima used to see on Kiara's gentle face.
Meanwhile, Bella is left alone at the hotel. Bella could only remain silent with a glaring look. Although Bella seemed to stare into the window that extends from the floor to the ceiling of her hotel room, but Bella's gaze only looked at the emptiness. His heart had been hurting since this morning when he caught Bima entering Kiara's dressing room. Then coupled with the statement of the mother who could have abandoned Bella since childhood because of Kiara. Too much heartache today until now only numbness felt. No tears could be an impingement of her pain.
By morning, Bella fell asleep in a sitting position and bowed her face to the soft bed of the hotel which was not at all functional since the two entered the room. The position of the folded white towel resembles two geese that form the heart also still has not shifted or changed in the slightest. Similarly, the red rose petals are spread on the bed with the shape of a heart.
Not long after Bella fell asleep, Bima also returned to their bridal room. The sight of Bella sleeping in a sitting position like that makes Bima's heart restless. Why did Bima vent her anger to Bella. Bima should have been able to hold back. Bella deserves to be angry knowing Bima wants Kiara back. Bima is guilty here. Bima is starting to realize that.
Although Bella is outrageous by hurting Kiara, but the cause of all those things is Bima himself.
Bima's approaching Bella. Then lift Bella's body to the bed. Bima put Bella to sleep on the rose petals and covered her.
Now Bima is starting to feel tired. Bima was about to take a bath but paused her intention when she saw the familiar keychain. Keychain with a unique eiffel tower that Bima bought for Kiara as souvenirs when Bima made a business trip to Paris. Bima picked up the keychain. There are two keys hanging. One of them is a car key with a logo Kiara car brand. While the other key Bima sure is the key to Kiara's apartment. Bima too often saw 1 set of keys that.
Bima looked at Bella's sleeping face again. This key must have fallen when Bima lifted Bella into bed. In his heart Bima asked, 'What have you said and done to Kiara, Bel? Is that how sick your heart can hurt the sister who gave up her love for you?'
Bima kept the key. Then choose a bath to dampen emotions and clear his mind.
Soaking warm water for more than an hour does not make Bima tired or sleepy. Bima still could not stop thinking about everything that weighed on her mind. Bima stopped the show, using a towel and wearing a white bathrobe provided by the hotel.
Still wearing a bathrobe, Bima opened the balcony and continued smoking until the sun appeared.
Bima went back to the room. When approaching the bed, Bima saw Bella sweating very much on the forehead and around her hair. His sleep expression was also not calm. His eyebrows twitched and his face stiffened.
Bima's approaching Bella. He would wipe the sweat on his forehead. But not yet touched Bella, suddenly Bella opened her eyes in surprise.
Bella is surprised to find that what she is witnessing is just a dream. Opening her eyes made Bella realize that she was dreaming. But seeing Bima in front of him when he opened his eyes made Bella even more surprised.
"Nightmare?" Bima's gaze seemed to radiate warmth. But Bella doesn't know how to behave or what to say. Why did this man come with warmth back. With anger like last night, Bima can be warm to him in the morning. Bella really can't understand this guy's way of thinking.
Seeing Bella who was only silent but did not seem to be angry, making Bima avert her eyes.
"I'd like to order breakfast. What do you want to eat bell?"
"Anything can."
"All right." Bima contacted the hotel service and ordered breakfast to be delivered to her room.
Within half an hour, breakfast was ready in his room. Bella also finished her bath and just wore a bathrobe like Bima.
"Will I stay here longer or will I go home?" Bima opened the conversation after seeing Bella who looked more relaxed and relaxed after bathing.
Bella thought for a moment then decided to end her stay at the hotel. "I want to go home. Where are we going?"
"Where do you want to go, Bel?"
"Can you go somewhere other than mommy and daddy's house?"
"certain. Want to live in one of my apartments?"
"Can."
"We lived in an apartment close to the Atmaja group for a while until our house was built?"
Bella was silent to this question. Bella wants to stay at Kiara's apartment. But saying things about Kiara made Bella worry that it would make Bima angry again.
Bella did not answer and just enjoyed breakfast. Bima considers Bella's residence as an agreement.
"I'll return this to Kiara. It's hers. Don't stop me or make excuses again. My presence with you isn't enough?" Bima pulled out the keys to Kiara's apartment and car. Then put it back in his pocket.
Bella just silently stared.his eyes seemed to be thinking while still chewing and continuing to eat.
Bima rubbed the hair on Bella's forehead, "Let's be nice to each other until the end. Let Kiara live quietly with her husband."
Bima looked at Bella warmly. Trying to persuade Bella and compromise.
