Hello Bella's

Episode 33: There Are No Secrets That Time Does Not Reveal (4)

Aiman's father was silent for a moment, his head bowed. What he will tell Bella will probably change the way the child looks at her.

But all she had to tell, Aiman's father could only hope that after she told him everything, Bella was willing to forgive him.

"That's when I met Ratna again at our school reunion."

"Ratna came up to Dad and said hello, we chatted with the other friends."

"When Ratna asked for a contact number, I just gave Dad my business card."

"Dad thought whatever happened first, forget it, if you can be friends with the former what's wrong, count the strings of friendship."

"After meeting at the reunion, Ratna often sends a message to Dad, initially just asking the news, asking whether you have eaten or not, questions that you still think are reasonable to be conveyed by a friend."

"I was answering as necessary but Ratna started asking for this opinion and that's what made our conversation so long."

"Ratna began to dare to tell about her life which turned out to be twice married and the two ended in divorce."

"Ratna also told me how difficult it was to live a widow with two children."

"Both of her ex-husbands were not willing to support her children so she had to be the backbone of her family."

"Ratna works in her sister's shop, with a mediocre salary she also still has to finance both parents."

"Hear that I feel sorry for Ratna."

Bella still faithfully listened to her father's story even though there were actually some parts of her father's story that she wanted to protest.

Bella decided to keep listening. Bella is not a child anymore, from the story that he just heard he began to guess the continuation of his father's story.

"Dad started giving Ratna an opinion to address her problem."

"We were getting more and more intense in messaging even when at home even dad still messaged with Ratna."

"At that time your mother began to question it, I just replied that I was chatting with an old friend."

"Dad thought your mother didn't need to know who Ratna was and again Dad was just chatting as usual as two friends."

"Your mother believes what you say and doesn't wonder anymore."

"One day Ratna asked me to meet her, she said she was around my office."

"Dad agreed because he said it was important."

"It turns out Ratna met Dad wanted to borrow money to pay off his father's debt to a loan shark who was due."

"She begged Dad and promised to return the money when she already had the money."

"Because I'm sorry I gave you that money without your mother's knowledge."

"Dad took the money from Dad's side business."

"Dad also told Ratna not to have to return it."

Bella stared at her father sharply, how could her father do that behind her.

Understanding his son's gaze, Aiman's father then continued his story.

"Dad knows you shouldn't do that, Dad doesn't think about the consequences, I just think there's no harm in helping a friend."

"More she's a single mom and Dad has the ability to help her."

"After giving the money, Ratna made more and more calls to Dad and even called when Dad was at home, while with you."

"Even for the little things Ratna always asks Dad for his opinion and sometimes asks Dad for help."

"That made your mother suspicious and began to wonder."

"Finally Dad replied that it was Ratna's ex-boyfriend."

"The father who at that time felt that he did not do what your mother accused of angrily retaliating to your mother."

"That was our first fight, we kept each other quiet for a few days."

"Until the end your mother relents and asks Dad to speak first."

"We talked a lot about this, Dad tell me who Ratna is and how she is now."

"Your mother can accept the reason I received and reply to messages or calls from Ratna on the grounds of just a friend."

"But your mother objected to the intensity of the communication between Father and Ratna, which was considered too excessive for the measure of communication between friends, especially the status of married fathers should limit association with other women."

"Dad understood the objections of your mother and began to limit the closeness of Father and Ratna."

"However, I don't know why Ratna even more aggressively approached Dad even to come to Daddy in the office."

"Dad has subtly forbidden Ratna from doing so but Ratna always comes up with a variety of reasons."

"Father became the talk among the employees of Father's office and somehow Ratna's news that often met Dad reached your mother's ears."

"Your mother got angry again and asked Dad to choose between your bundle or Ratna."

"Dad swore there was nothing between Father and Ratna, there were never any feelings involved, Dad just thought of Ratna as a friend."

"Then I went to see Ratna to ask Ratna to stop coming to me at the office and not to contact her again if it wasn't important."

"Somehow Ratna couldn't accept it, she said that she still loved Dad."

"Of course Dad was surprised not to think that Ratna had more feelings for Dad."

"She felt all of Dad's attention and help during this time was a form of love that Dad still had for her."

"From there I began to realize Father's faults, I recklessly paved the way for a bully in my relationship with your mother."

"Dad tried to stay away but Ratna didn't care if she kept calling me."

"And by then your mother seemed to no longer believe in me."

"The news surrounding Dad's affair spread quickly in the office, really making Dad even more depressed and it affected Dad's work performance."

"Until one day Ratna asked Dad to come to her house, when she got there, Ratna's family had gathered."

"Dad didn't understand Ratna's intention of asking Dad to come, when on the phone he just said it was important and he wouldn't bother Dad anymore."

"There he met his father Ratna who asked him about his plans to marry Ratna."

"Dad was at a loss as to what his father Ratna's question meant and before Dad explained suddenly your mother was there."

"Your mother said nothing just looked at Dad with a hurt look."

"When your mother left, I tried to chase her to explain the truth, but your mother didn't give me a chance to speak."

"Your mother drove away in her car, I tried to catch up until suddenly I saw your mother dodging the crosser of the road slamming the steering wheel in the other direction and losing control so that it hit a tree."

"Mother was hurt pretty badly, your bunda was unconscious and Dad could only hug her, the fear of losing your bundle suddenly haunted Dad."

Not feeling the tears Bella soaked her cheeks while the eyes of Aiman's father had been flushed from the corner of the eyes that began to water.

"When I was in the hospital, the harsh reality hit me."

"It turned out that it was your mother..."

Aiman's father paused his words, his head looked up and then looked down, the removal of tears that he finally could not hold back anymore.

"We. we lost..."
