LOVE IN LIFE

74

Everyone came back, it was very late at night. Amelia and Dama are asleep. Minah was waiting for their arrival while drowned in the living room chair.

Oma, Maria and Harris let Minah and just passed by to their respective rooms. Meanwhile Alex approaches and wakes him up slowly.

"Mba, move. Everyone has gone home" Alex whispered.

Minah squirmed, she looked at her sister and got up from the sofa.

"Davin? " ask Minah while walking.

"She stayed there until Bella asked for her own return" Alex replied.

Minah turned around and looked at Alex in surprise.

"Then Dama? " ask Minah.

He bit his own tongue because he felt his voice was quite tight. While Alex stared inwardly hoping no one would hear.

"Mfa....! Your voice! " said Alex warned.

"Sorry! " say Minah.

Alex walked over while hooking his hand to Minah's shoulder.

"I don't know, Davin looks pretty upset with them. But she'd rather help Bella first during the mourning" whispered Alex.

Amelia who woke up heard the sound of their car and was down, heard Alex say. He stood by the kitchen door without a sound.

He walked towards his room after making sure everyone had already entered their room.

Staring at Dama with pity because her papa could not come home anytime soon, Amelia sat down while stroking her son's hair.

Amelia stopped and looked the other way, thinking about Alex's words.

~What does it mean to miss both of us, he should only miss Dama. She knows it but still says things she can't feel~ complained Amelia in her heart.

Davin sat on the sofa holding his cell phone, a photo of Amelia and Dama he was looking at.

"I miss you, if only a miracle could make you my wife, not Bella" Davin said.

Recollecting memories of the first time they met. Davin smiled, considering how much he was fascinated by Amelia. And that feeling was always there every time he looked at her.

Bella wakes up, she looks at Davin who is watching her phone. Her mood becomes upset, she sees Davin staring at a photo of Amelia and Dama.

Bella got out of bed and approached Davin. He who noticed Bella's arrival, instantly kept his phone and looked at her.

"You awake?" ask Davin.

"Hmmm" Bella replied.

Bella sat by his side and hooked her hand to Davin's arm.

"You miss Dama? " ask Bella.

Davin was quite surprised by Bella's question. He who always looks very upset if he has to discuss Dama or Amelia, now asks in a soft voice about his longing for Dama.

"Sorry Bella, but the bond between me and Dama is so strong, I really miss her a lot. I'm sorry if my answer really pisses you off. Maybe I shouldn't have discussed this when you really needed my attention... "

"I understand, I miss my father too. He just left, but I miss him so much, especially the Dama you left behind has been almost a month" said Bella.

Davin stared at Bella, not believing what she was seeing or hearing.

"Why see me like that? " asked Bella with a smile on her lips.

"No, it's just...."

"Because I sound concerned about Dama?" Bella interrupts.

"No. It's not so" Davin said.

"It's okay, I never liked them. Now when I lost my father I understand. The presence of a father means a lot to a child" Bella said.

Davin was silent at his words. The more she kept quiet, the more Bella said things that made her quite surprised.

"It's still night, go to sleep! I'll get you some drinking water" Davin said as he stood up.

"Hmmm? " reply Davin, turning.

"Tomorrow we go home" said Bella.

Davin stopped breathing long enough. He sighed as he turned around after nodding at Bella. Arriving in the kitchen, Davin managed to catch his breath.

"Geez, this is more horror than getting lost in the woods" Davin murmured.

Davin poured water into the glass and gulped it down.

"Why did he suddenly change? " davin said again after drinking.

Davin was silent for a moment to think what made him change. She recalled Bella's remark that understood their situation after her father's departure.

"Is it possible that he really feels that he has opposed my meeting with Dama? Now he understands the meaning of my present to Dama. Is that so? " Davin discusses with his own thoughts.

Davin looked up at the stairs in the direction of their room. Feeling unsure of what happened, but feeling that maybe it could happen.

"Bella is also human, she can change well. He's the son of a good man, he's going to change for the better" Davin said.

He took water one glass pot with a new glass then returned to the room. She saw Bella was sleeping again. Slowly, he put down the glass and teapot. Then tidy up the blanket to make it full.

~Good if you turn out to be better at Dama. Hopefully this is not my wish~ said Davin's heart.

While Davin returned to the sofa and lay down to sleep, Bella smiled with her eyes open. He has not slept, he is laughing at Davin who believes he is beginning to accept Dama.

~I'll try to do what I don't like Davin, for your sake. You've also been trying to keep me a wife even if you don't want to. I will do anything to keep you by my side, like this~ Bella said.

Next day.

Alex got up early and prepared, mirroring and combing her hair as usual. Kicking his favorite song. But suddenly, Dama's voice silenced him.

"AAAALEEEEEEE! "

Dama's voice was heard, as was Amelia's voice correcting her.

"It's not Alex, it's Alex's uncle" Amelia said.

Alex smiled, he hurriedly opened the door of his room and greeted Dama who came carrying Amelia.

"What darling! " iks exclaimed, widening both his arms about to hug.

But Amelia put the brakes on her steps and stopped a bit away from her. Alex felt awkward for having spread his hand. Feeling like I'm going to hug Amelia too. He lowered his hand and grabbed Dama who came down from Amelia's sling.

"Amaaan, papa ana? " said Dama with the funny thing.

Alex showed a very disappointed face in front of Dama.

"Hmmm, you were yelling uncle's name. Now you're asking where Papa is? Hmmm, uncle won't answer before you kiss uncle's cheek" Alex made Dama laugh by tickling his neck.

Dama laughed, Amelia laughed.

"Come kiss uncle! " pointing Alex to his cheek.

Dama complies and kisses with his wet lips.

"God! Your lips are wet, even though uncle is very handsome and ready for work" complained Alex.

"Papa" that's all Dama said while playing Alex's tie.

Alex turned his gaze to Amelia.

"Since she woke up she asked, can you call her for her?" amelia pinta.

Alex looked back at Dama.

"All right! " answered Alex with a sigh.

They walk to the park, Alex opens the pons and calls Davin, but a car breaks into the yard, making them notice.

Bella and Davin got out of the car. Amelia smiled as she looked at Alex. But Alex feels strange about the situation.
