“I'm assistant Halim Hadinata,” clear Matt, smile.
Silent for a moment, Bara scrutinized the figure before him with a frown. Trying to remember back, the man who if noticed is not foreign.
“MATT,” said Bara in a loud voice, after realizing who the man before him was. He really does not recognize. Moreover, their last meeting almost eight years ago, when the Bara company in Surabaya received the trust of handling the interior in the luxurious residence Halim Hadinata.
“Ya, right. I Grace,” explained Matt, reiterating.
A loud clap landed seamlessly on Matt's arm. “Sorry, let's go inside,” invite Bara after clearly knowing the origin of the man who had been his opponent earlier.
“Bell, ask Mbak to make a drink,” Bara's pinta on his wife.
Matt still had time to look at the woman who now had clear status, belonging to another man.

The two chatted on the terrace of the house enjoying the breeze accompanied by a cup of black coffee. Matt did not expect at all that the girl he was expecting was the wife of the person, the worse was that he knew the husband of the girl.
“How to know my wife?” ask Bara, wonder.
“Young master bumped into Bella at the airport. His phone fell and broke. Young master asked me to take care of it,” explained Matt.
I look to think. Recalling the young master that Matt meant. Long stunned finally his brain remembered clearly.
“Si Koko returned to Indonesia? Or still in the UK?” ask Bara.
“Young master Ditya back and forth Jakarta-London. Especially now, Mr. Halim is sick. He wants the big boss, his only son settled here, took care of his business,” Matt told me.
“Oh yes, Mr Barata has long lived in Surabaya?” Matt asked back.
“I now live in Jakarta,” suhut Bara, brief.
“Wah happened to. Mr. Boss just bought a penthouse in Central Jakarta. Later I propose to use the company Mr. Barata for the interior,” Matt story.
“Where?” ask Bara, listen. The Halim Hadinata family is unlikely to buy a regular class property. Can get a family project conglomerate Halim is certainly a pride of its own while adding to the coffers of money that is not small.
“Near HI Roundabout, Plaza Indonesia,” explained Matt.
Bara just nodded.
“Penthouse was bought for young master Ditya. Big boss wants to settle in Surabaya, tired of back and forth Jakarta-Surabaya. Age cannot lie. Physical condition has weakened. No longer able to work too hard,” continued Matt.
“Si Koko is not married?” ask Bara again.
“Not yet, just been betrothed,” story Matt short. Just listening. He was not very familiar with Halim Hadinata's son, having only met several times while working on the interior of Halim Hadinata's residence. He was more often in contact with Boss Halim directly.

Bella was treating her husband's torn and bruised wounds on the corners of his lips and temples. Occasionally asked about Matt who turned out to know her husband.
“Mas, how to know Grace?” ask Bella, while giving red medicine on Bara's wound.
“I've worked on his boss' house Matt,” stories Bara. Currently, he was not as angry as before when discussing the man.
“Oh, that handsome one. Actually she hit me the other day,” Bella's story slipped.
Hearing the handsome word addressed to another man, Bara's emotions were of course provoked. Those shady eyes immediately turned red, burning with jealous flames that had devoured some of his logic.
“I don't like you praising the other guy in front of me, Bell.” Bara.
“Sorry, Mom. I didn't mean anything. Just talking facts, not expressing my feelings. I know, I'm married,” great-grandson Bella slowly. Not wanting to make Bara's anger more provoked.
“Bell, follow me back to Jakarta, yes?” bara Pinta. His burly hand suddenly grasped the hand of his wife who was rubbing ice cubes on the bruise on his temple.
Bella seemed to think, in fact she was also a little worried about Issabell's problem.
“Don't tell me you still don't want to go back, Bell,” Bara's toad, with a probing gaze. All the bad thoughts began to appear in his mind.
“Tell me honestly, Bell. Matt just this time visited the house or has he ever been?” before tanya Bara began to suspect.
Bella shakes. “New first time, Mas,” says Bella.
“Discover your phone, Bell,” pinta Bara, thrust his hand.
Without refuting, Bella according. Handing over the phone to the husband who is currently starting to be splashed by jealous flames. Not wanting to cause trouble with her husband.
The man read all the incoming and outgoing messages on his wife's phone, as well as combing through all the incoming and outgoing calls. Bara can breathe a sigh of relief when he does not find anything suspicious in there.
“Mas, if I did anything behind you, I would have erased that trace earlier,” chirped Bella, made a bright smile on Bara's face dim for a moment and provoked Bella's laughter.
Bella's words made Bara even more glaring, even the man had to repeatedly resist being annoyed.
“Mas, don't be angry again. I will come with you to Jakarta,” said Bella, hugging Bara.
Getting so sweet treatment from Bella, Bara's emotions subside. Instead, the man took his wife.
“Sorry, if I get upset a lot. I realize, sometimes I'm a bitch. When I panicked, I was easily hooked. I have a hard time controlling my emotions,” Bara said.
Honestly, at this time besides regretting having had time to babysit his wife. There was a sense of haru yelling in his chest. Bella's understanding and patience with him, made her heart touched. Not many can survive on his side, not many can understand the nature of temperament and jealousy which later adds to the row of bad qualities.
Different from his house and Brenda. They have the same harsh nature and no one wants to give up. Every day fighting for small things, but Bella is different. The little girl he was married to was a little harsh, but Bella was very patient with him.
“Ikut I go back to Jakarta, I try as often as we can we will visit Surabaya,” explained Bara, peeling Bella's forehead slowly.
Bella nodded and smiled warmly.
“You know, Bell. How lucky I am to have you,” whispered Bara in between her arms.
***
The domestic life of Bara and Bella, quiet without ripples. Bella is focused on her pregnancy, which is about to enter its fifth month. Bara's attention and possessiveness became more and more, along with his wife's increasingly rounded stomach.
Especially after a few days ago the doctor said that the baby Bella conceived was most likely a male. Bara's possessive attitude is becoming more and more.
In addition, no shadow of the past comes to her household life, although sometimes Rania still often stay at their place, but Bella does not mind it. In fact, Bara openly helped the life of former in-laws as well as Brenda's treatment which still has no good news.
That afternoon, Bella was accompanying Issabell playing with dolls on the porch. Enjoy the breeze blowing breeze. With a floral negligee motif, Bella looks beautiful with a much fuller body, sitting in a rattan chair with the nanny of Issabell.
Bella is stroking her belly which is starting to look, when a shiny black Alphard car enters the yard of their house. Before long, a man was thought to be her husband's age, getting out of the car in a suit complete with sunglasses.
“Good day, I ..”
The man stopped his words. His concentration turned to Issabell who was talking to the doll.
