Hello Bella's

Episode 31: There Are No Secrets That Time Does Not Reveal (2)

Meeting the father of her lover, naturally made Abiyan a little nervous. There are concerns that the father does not like him and does not approve of their relationship.

The meeting with Bella's father this time was not her first. A few years ago when his relationship with Bella was not as serious as it is today, Abiyan had met her father Bella several times.

Aiman Nabeel Akbar's father, at almost 50 years old still looks fresh, the traces of good looks are still visible. His body is strapping, neither thin nor fat.

The resemblance on the faces of Aiman and Bella's father is very similar. If said Mother Alya, Bella is the version of Aiman's father using bando.

If Aiman's father lowered his facial line on Bella then Mother Alya lowered her slim and petite body and pure white skin.

Bella's height is as old as Abiyan makes Bella look petite if being paired with Abiyan. Never say Bella is short, she will be offended because according to Bella her height is close to the average height of Indonesian women. Once again, according to Bella and Abiyan, just say yes than the future mother of her children will be angry.

Just three of them, Aiman's father, Bella and Abiyan were currently enjoying lunch at the restaurant at the hotel where Aiman's father was staying.

Bella had tried to invite Mother Alya to participate but on the grounds of a lot of work in the store, Mother Alya refused to come and just leave a greeting for Aiman's father.

It turns out that the taste of Aiman and Abiyan's father is the same, they prefer Indonesian food while Bella prefers to try a variety of foods be it western or eastern food. Chinese food is also Bella likes, sometimes fusion food is Bella's choice.

Bella ordered the Garden Fresh Green Salad and Mix Barbeque. For dessert, Bella still can not choose from the menu that makes her eyes sparkle.

Of all the foods that Bella likes, her champion remains chicken noodles plus egg-filled meatballs plus a lot of sambal.

After greeting each other accompanied by a light conversation such as asking each other the news, a little talking about work, they eat the food they have ordered.

Only occasionally did Bella speak to her father while Abiyan listened.

There is an important thing Abiyan wants to talk to Aiman's father about his relationship with Bella.

After finishing the main course, Aiman's father and Abiyan ordered only coffee while Bella ordered Almond Strawberry Cheese Cake and Ice Lemon Tea.

Bella and food, two things that can't be separated. For the size of a petite woman, Bella has a large appetite.

One of the things that made Abiyan interested in Bella first was that Bella never jaim for food. While still feeling hungry, Bella will not be shy to order back.

Abiyan took a slow sip of his coffee, gathering all the courage he had to start a conversation with Aiman's father.

"I'm sorry to interrupt my time with Bella" Abiyan said.

"There's something I want to say to you."

"Please" replied Aiman's father briefly.

Bella felt that the atmosphere was warm and comfortable and suddenly changed and the way of speaking and the attitude of Aiman and Abiyan's father looked too formal.

"I'd like to ask your permission to get into a relationship with Bella."

"Your date?" asked Aiman's father to sound unfriendly in Abiyan's ears.

"How old are you, not too old to ask my child to date?"

"My son is only in his 20s, I think your age difference is quite far."

Abiyan's nervousness began to enter a higher level. Usually Abiyan can face anyone calmly. With her high level of confidence, Abiyan can easily communicate with either her friends or business associates.

Facing Aiman's father was not that easy, from the beginning of the meeting, Aiman's father seemed to install a high wall between them.

While talking to Bella, the figure of Aiman's father is seen as a loving and caring father but once talking to Abiyan, Aiman's father was impressed cold and when talking quite the way he was.

Strange even if a father is too welcome to the men who try to approach their daughter.

"I mean, I want to establish a serious relationship with Bella that In Shaa Allah in the future I want to make Bella as a companion of My life," replied Abiyan.

"You want to marry my son?"

"Yes sir, I hope you can give us your blessing."

"I've heard a lot about you from my son."

Aiman's father always called Bella in my son's words. Abiyan understands this is done by Aiman's father to confirm that Bella is a very important person for him and Abiyan can not be careless with Bella.

"I also know who you and your family are."

"My son is too young to get married right now, you know that right?"

"Yes Sir I know, if the Father and Mother bless Us, I want to marry Bella when Bella is ready."

"Your parents know about my son?"

"Already Sir, I've introduced Bella to my family."

"As for the state of Our family, your family already knows?"

"About Me with my child's parent, your family already knows?"

"My family already knows sir."

Aiman's father sighed, there was a sense of relief there. Abiyan Bella also realized that.

Aiman's father already knew who Abiyan was and his family. Families of businessmen known to be harmonious.

Aiman's father did not want their family circumstances to be looked at one eye by the Abiyan family.

Aiman's father did not want Bella to be considered an inappropriate broken home child for a sole heir to the Abiyan family.

Aiman's father doesn't want the big mistakes he's made in the past to impact Bella's future.

"Can your family accept my child for who I am?"

"My family accepts Bella as My future wife, there's nothing wrong with Bella, for Me Bella will be able to perfect My life later."

"I really hope you can give us your blessing."

"I can't promise to always make Bella happy, but I promise I'll always try to do the best I can for Bella."

"My plan to marry Bella is still a few years away, but I'd like to show my Father's and My Family that I'm serious about Bella."

Aiman's father fell silent, looking at Bella lovingly. Bella, her only daughter, had many moments that she had missed all this time and now a man came to her to ask her permission to approach her daughter. Time passed by so fast, her little girl had grown up

If only he could turn his time back to the past, had he not been careless then, had it been that time...

There was a great regret that always smothered Aiman's father's chest. There's a really big worry if Bella finds out what happened first.

Will Bella still love him when Bella knows the truth, will Bella still respect him...
