A clear morning, showing the friendly weather today. But different from Bella's heart that seemed clouded when he heard the words of the uncle.
This morning they were enjoying breakfast made by Bella, at the dinner table. An unexpected thing suddenly happened in the silence of the atmosphere that morning.
"Bella, you're going to mate with someone, uncle" said suddenly.
"Huh? But why Bella, uncle? Bella still wants to focus on college," said Bella who was surprised to hear the words of the uncle.
"Keep who? Me? I don't want ya sir, I still want to pursue my dream" said Alea, the biological son of uncle Isa.
"Bella, you can't refuse this match. You are already living here, you should know yourself to return the favor to us who have willingly accommodated you here!" ketus Indri's aunt, who never liked the presence of Bella in their home.
"Mom, don't talk like that. It's your duty to raise Bella, because you promised Bram's sister."
Bram is the older brother of Isa's uncle, who is none other than Bella's biological father. When Bella was 5 years old, her father and mother had a single accident after the company reunion. And before the departure of Bella's parents, Bella's father had left Bella to Isa's uncle, and Isa's uncle also promised to raise Bella.
Since then, Bella was raised by her uncle Isa like her own biological child. But unlike Indri's aunt, who never liked the existence of Bella from the beginning until now.
And now the uncle's company is on the verge of collapse, because it is wrapped in a considerable debt to the Company that cooperates with his company. Since the uncle could not afford the debt, the uncle planned to marry his daughter Alea to the owner of the company.
But Alea refused firmly the request of his father, because he knew that the CEO was notoriously cruel and also some called him gay. Wh why? I have never been on a date with any woman.
"Bella, can uncle talk to you?" ask uncle.
Bella stared fixedly at the middle-aged man who had raised her, there was a sense of pity in her when she looked into the eyes of uncle.
"yes uncle" replied Bella, nodding.
Uncle walked to the living room first, and followed Bella behind him.
Now that they had sat facing each other in the living room, there was a sense that was difficult to interpret in Bella's heart. His mind raging through the buana.
"Bella, uncle was forced to tell you this. Uncle asks for help, you accept this matchmaking yes," said the uncle opened his voice.
"Please help uncle to get out of this matter. It was Alea who was going to be uncle matchmaking, but Fani refused out loud, Uncle had no other choice. Uncle beg of you, please help uncle for this time only," continued uncle gave understanding.
Bella pecked at the words of her uncle, she was too shocked to think about things that were very far from her imagination.
"Bella, you heard uncle, right?" call uncle Isa.
"But why Bella, uncle? Bella is still too young, Bella also does not want to marry uncle. Why is uncle evil to Bella?" The teenage girl started to sob.
"Sorry Bella, uncle has no other choice. You are the only hope to help uncle from this problem," said the uncle.
"Is there no other way, uncle? Why should it be a road like this? Bella is the same as Alea who has aspirations to reach her uncle."
"Bella Uncle please, just this once. Yea?" pinta uncle Isa.
Bella replied, suddenly Aunt Indri came.
"Leave said yes it is very difficult for you, besides the person who will marry you is a rich person, you will be a mistress there. Think of this as a sign of your gratitude to us," demanded aunt Indri ketus.
"Mom don't interfere, it's father and Bella's business. Better get back to the dinner table!" uncle Isa's orders.
"Keep aja belain children do not know in this profit. You're happy, aren't you, my husband is more defensive of you? Huh!" pekik aunty indri upset.
"Mom!" snapped uncle Isa who began to be provoked emotions.
"Brother heart!" Aunt Indri started sobbing which made uncle's heart waver.
"Mom, not a part-"
Isa's uncle's words were cut off as the house bell rang, which broke the feud between them. I don't know who's been visiting this early. Uncle thought, maybe it's Mr. Devan.
"You go in" said Isa's uncle, rising to open the door.
And it turns out, Mr. Devan's men came.
"Please enter master," said uncle Isa let his guest in.
*****
"Mr Devan is on a foreign assignment, so I was sent by him to come here. So how do you decide, Mr Isa?" ask Jo, to the point.
Jo is a confidant as well as an accomplice of Mr. Devan.
"Emmm, please tell Mr. Devan to give me a few more days. I need time to convince my daughter, sir." pinta uncle Isa.
"Our master doesn't have much time for unimportant things, that decision has to be there right now. If there is no decision, then all the assets of Lord Isa will be confiscated today!" sahut Jo flat.
The accomplices of this Devan master, are famous as cold as the master.
Uncle Isa was silent to hear that, he felt careless. Confused what to answer.
As for Bella, it turns out that the girl did not enter her room. He remained standing near the door of the living room listening to the chatter of the two people, he cried seeing his uncle having difficulties.
"Bella wants to marry Mr. Devan, uncle," said Bella suddenly who disperse the reverie of uncle Isa.
"Bella, are you sure, son?" ask the uncle seriously.
'I certainly can, this is all for uncle's sake, ' Bella's inner self-reinforcing.
"Bella is sure uncle," replied Bella steadily.
"Thank you Bella, thank you for helping uncle. Uncle is very proud of you," said uncle crying haru while hugging Bella.
"Tell uncle if Mr. Devan treats you badly later" said Isa's uncle.
"Well, if you agree, the wedding will be held in two days. Faster will be better, this is also in accordance with the orders of Mr. Devan," said Jo.
"Let's miss, I'll take you to Mr. Devan's residence" continued Jo.
"Why should I go there? Isn't it two days away? We'll definitely come there ourselves" asked Bella.
"This is a direct order from Mr. Devan, miss. Let alone you, I just cannot argue," replied Jo.
Bella was silent for a moment, she thought she still had two days to be with her uncle. But apparently, he had to leave that day.
"Sorry lady, I don't have much time. Better, you pack up soon and we'll go" Jo said.
Bella Staring at the bead of uncle's eyes as if asking for an answer, the uncle nodded in response.
Finally Bella got up to immediately pack the items she would bring. Bella only brought a few pieces of clothes, she also brought her childhood photos with her parents first.
"Be careful Bell, uncle will always be on your side. Tell uncle if Mr. Devan treats you badly" said the uncle before taking Bella off.
Bella only nodded at a glance, she could not bear to make another sound.
After entering the car, Bella stared at the house that had been a silent witness to her being raised. She saw that there was only an uncle accompanying her departure, neither an aunt nor Alea. It seemed that they were both very happy, about Bella's departure from the house.
