LOVE IN LIFE

Bella is still not awake, Davin reads the newspaper by the window waiting for her. He focused on the news about the mall that began to deserted visitors.

"You're not going to work? " ask Bella who gets up and sits on the bed.

Then he quietly stared at her clothes which were still the same as the ones he had worn last night. He also felt his head dizzy and his eyes heavy to open wide.

"You awake? Your head is okay? " ask Davin.

"Hmm? " Bella tried to round her eyes.

"It's a good thing that Amelia woke up and escorted you to the room, otherwise you would have fallen asleep in the front room and Oma.... "

"What's? The amelia? " Bella interrupted her words.

'Aren't I with Zidan? Did Zidan take me home and Amelia see us?' Bella riled.

"Yes, last night he woke up and helped you into the room" replied Davin who then approached.

Bella swallowed her saliva feeling awkward due to her body odor.

"You must have been very disappointed in me" Davin said, stroking her hair.

'What? What's wrong with her? ' ask Bella's heart in surprise.

"You knew from the beginning that our marriage was only to fulfill Oma's request"

Bella is still waiting for the continuation of Davin's speech.

"You also know I can't do that to you" Davin's breath sounded loud.

"Davin what's wrong? Did I say anything last night? Did I insult you?" Bella asked out of fear.

"No, it's no shame trying to say that you love your husband so much" Davin replied.

'me? Saying that? ' ask Bella's self-doubting heart.

"I'm sorry for getting you involved in my troubles in this house. I will try to like you as a woman. Will you be patient? " Davin touched his hand.

Bella was happy, she immediately hugged Davin who was still awkward. Bella let go of his embrace when she realized that her body smelled of beer.

"Thank you, I mean sorry. That means..." Bella's too happy.

Davin took a deep breath. Only overnight did he make the most of his life.

"I'll wait until anytime" said Bella cheerfully.

Bella kissed Davin from afar, peeping her hands together. Davin just smiled without saying anything.

"Go, let's go to your mother's house" Davin said.

"All right, I love you Davin! " Bella jumped out of bed and went straight to the bathroom.

Davin sighed hard enough. He tidied up his newspaper and got ready.

The hot sun shone on the lake of the campsite, but the air there was still cool. Saga stared at the beauty of the lake which made her speechless. Dama approached and pulled his finger. Saga looked over and went where Dama took her.

"Come, time to eat! " take Hana.

Amelia wasn't there. Saga searched with her eyes. Ghani.

"There's a tent" Ghani said.

"Yes Sir? " ask Saga who looks stupid.

"You're looking for Amelia, she's in the tent" Ghani said.

Saga smiled shyly, he scratched his head though it didn't itch. Hani, who dislikes Saga, looks at her.

Amelia came out of the tent and looked at him.

"You looking for me? " ask Amelia.

Saga approached and whispered.

"The stadium" said Saga.

"It's in the car! " amelia said.

"Yes, we have to take her now" Saga asked.

"What's wrong? " ask Hani.

"No mother, just having a discussion" Amelia replied.

Saga who was shocked, could only smile.

"Discussion for what? Come eat! " take Hani.

"Just a second! " amelia said.

They left, Hani and Ghani and Hana just exchanged looks, not understanding with them.

Arriving at the car, Saga recalled Ghani's remark about Oma, she was about to ask him.

"Why didn't you tell me about Oma going to the hospital? " ask Saga.

Amelia stopped moving as she was about to pick up their gift for Mikayla.

"You know? " ask Amelia.

Amelia looked towards the tent.

"Darling, I'm not angry, just asking"

Saga grabbed Amelia's hand.

"You have no trouble at home, do you? Oma doesn't press you emotionally, does she? I see mom's attitude, she doesn't seem to like me, is it because of Oma?"

Saga expressed her concern.

"No, Oma didn't do that. He just doesn't want you to worry. About mom.... "

Amelia hugged Saga suddenly.

"I'm sorry mom, it's not easy to accept a daughter-in-law's choice" Amelia whispered in her arms.

Saga smile.

"really? "

"True, then you should be able to take mother's heart. Find a way, ask me how to do it"

Amelia gave me an idea.

"Well, about Oma, I'll pay more attention to her. Let me know if anything happens ok! " say Saga.

"Ok, let's get a present for Mikayla" Amelia asked.

Saga nodded, they returned and gave a surprise to Mikayla.

Alex is back from Tangerang, there's nobody home. Harris and Maria also take Oma to go for a walk to their mall.

Alex is looking for Minah with her lesion face.

"Yeah! " excited Alex.

"Hmmm! " answered in the kitchen.

"Hungry! " said Alex whining.

"You don't eat on the street? " ask Minah.

Alex shook his head while sitting at the small table.

"Don't sit at the table, sit right, I'll make you some food" Minah reminded.

"Nobody's home" Alex said.

"There, young master Zidan is still sleeping in his room" Minah replied.

"Where is everyone, it's Saturday? " ask Alex.

"The great lady went with Mr. Harris and mistress Maria. Davin went with Bella to her parents' house, while Amelia went with Saga, camping to celebrate her nephew's birthday" Minah explained with her hands still deftly making fried rice for her sister.

"What's? Mikayla's birthday? " Alex was surprised.

Minah turned her head and looked at him in wonder at his reaction.

"Why so surprised? " ask Minah.

Alex scratched his head.

"Hehe, no" Alex replied.

Speech with his heart was much different, he felt ashamed of Hana for forgetting the event last night. He forgot to tell Hana because he couldn't come to the playground.

Alex opened his phone and sent a message.

"Still busy? Did Mr Gala give what Davin asked for? " ask Minah when she sees her sister busy coming back with her phone.

"Pak Gala did not give a strange response, he immediately asked his secretary to give his report. It's easy, but I can't believe it's that easy" Alex replied as he pulled the plate and devoured the food.

"Huufft, a few days ago Davin looked very disturbed by the arrival of her brother. Yesterday he was injured because of a broken glass in his hand" Minah complained.

"Sister, tumben you commented on them! " say Alex.

"Let's go, I'm starting to feel sorry for Davin" Minah said.

"Well, big brother is starting to give me feelings in this house" Alex sneered.

"You can imagine how much she suffered seeing the woman she loved coming together and looking happy with her brother. I can't imagine how broken her heart is" Minah went deeper commenting.

"Sister! " Alex is looking at him.

"Hmmm? " Minah returned her gaze.

"This is called destiny. No one knows what will happen in the next few seconds. So then.... "

"So? "

"Be quiet, afraid that someone will hear" Alex continued, smiling.

Minah was upset that Alex was just imitating her earlier remark.

Alex laughed happily at Minah's expression.
