The beautiful girl whose hair was ponytailed, in a floral-patterned dress was shocked when she saw someone she knew sitting casually on the sofa. Running around smiling, the girl called out to a figure she had not seen for quite a long time.
“Daddy!”
The girl ran over, directly sitting on Bara's lap. Her small smile was constantly staring at the daddy.
"Daddy, why don't you go over to Rania's house again?" the girl asked, leaning against Bara's chest.
"Daddy's busy, honey."
Bara plays the ponytail of a responsible girl named Rania. His daughter with his ex-wife. Bara has rarely seen him since Bella's arrival in Jakarta.
"Where were you going?" tanya Bara stared at the snack in Rania's hand. The girl constantly stuffed potato chips of grilled corn into her mouth.
"Ahead, Dad. Rania is bored inside. Aunty Ste was busy," she said, advancing her lips pointing towards Stella who was still busy helping Kailla finish her soup.
"Have you eaten?" bara asked, tidying up the messy brat on Rania's forehead.
Rania shook her head, smiling happily at Stella. As if to convey his happy feelings, could meet Daddy who recently missed him.
"Come, Daddy introduced Mommy Bella," Bara invited, bringing the 13-year-old girl closer to Bella.
Bella who had just watched since, immediately realized when Bara holding Rania approached her.
"Bell, this is Rania, my daughter. She's the daughter of my ex-wife, Brenda," Bara said.
"Call Mommy Bella, honey," Bara asked Rania to say hello to his wife.
"Mommy Bella," said Rania to look forced. There was a dislike look on his eyeball.
"Yes, honey," said Bella smilingly, hugging Rania.
"Issabell's not coming?" rania asked after breaking away from Bella's embrace, circulating her gaze around. Looking for a small figure that is usually called little sister.
"Issabell is not coming. Daddy was here, your sister was still sleeping,” explained Bara, back sitting next to Pram.
"Daddy, when is Daddy going to play house again?" tanya Rania, approaching Bara.
"Daddy didn't get to it, honey. Later Daddy was busy," said Bara, back playing Rania's hair pigtail
"Mommy's not coming?" ask Bara.
Rania shook her head, staring intently at Bella.
"Daddy's busy with that Aunt?" rania asked, pointing towards Bella.
"Rania, Auntie is Mommy Issabell" Bara explained.
Rania climbs back into Bara's lap, whispering something in Bara's ear.
Bara shook his head. I don't know what the little girl whispered. Bella could only stare from a distance.
"He's my niece, Ma'am," explains Stella.
Bella turned her gaze away from her husband and daughter, turning to look at Stella who was smiling at her.
Pram's secretary could see clearly, the confusion imprinted on Bella's face who was now the wife of her former sister-in-law.
"She's my sister's daughter, Brenda." Stella explained. He tried to make everything clear, there was no misunderstanding between Bara and his wife.
Bella nodded. Not intending to extend any more. Being on Bara's side, it's full of surprises. Either because she had just entered there, or indeed her husband's life was full of secrets that had not been revealed to her.
During this time, Bella also did not find out. His relationship with Bara has only been close lately.
"My brother is at work and no one is looking after Rania. So I brought her here with me." Stella said, trying to tell Bella what to tell her.
"The wife of Mas Bara seems good. Thankfully, eventually Mas Bara could start his life back," Inner Stella.
Her brother's marriage is not healthy. It cannot and does not deserve to be maintained anymore. Both of his parents chose to give up. Already unable to see the extraordinary fights that occur almost every day.
Brenda is stubborn and so is Bara. No one wants to give up and no one wants to lower their ego. All complicated by Brenda's affair. That eventually led to the marriage ending in a state court.
It has only been a few months since Bara reappeared. That was also accidentally, he passed each other in the RD group when discussing a cooperation contract.
Rania, who had longed for the figure of Bara, was finally able to be reunited with the daddy.
Since the last few months, Bara has been seeing her daughter a lot. Replacing the princess's longing for him for these ten years. However, since Bella's appearance, her attention has been divided. Not to mention the act of Rissa who made all the mess, again he had to ignore Rania.
In the girl's eyes, it's the real Daddy. When he married Brenda, Rania was only 1 year old. The girl did not know her real father. All he knew and knew was Bara.
Bella stared fixedly at Rania who was sitting on Bara's lap, until ignoring Kailla and Stella who were nearby.
"Bell," call Kailla, wake up.
"Eh .. Yes, Kai." Bella turned her eyes.
"When?" kailla asked, looking down at Bella's flat stomach.
Bella shakes. "Not ...."
Bella's out of focus, her mind going nowhere. Not lost his surprise with Rissa and Bara's past. Now comes another past. Tomorrow I don't know who else will appear.
Throughout her hospital visit, Bella remained silent. He only answers occasionally when asked. And Rania, clinging to Bara, gave no chance to anyone to distract the father.
Two hours passed, and the day began. Eventually he ended his visit. Bidding farewell to Pram and Kailla and Stella, Bara took Bella.
“Rania, Daddy came home,” farewell, bent down and aligned his height with Rania. Not to forget, gently patting the head of Rania.
“Rania came with Daddy home,” he said almost shed tears.
“Can't, Honey. Mommy doesn't allow,” reject Bara, smile. He kissed the two cheeks of the little girl.
“Aunty,” whine Rania, running while pulling Stella's arm.
“Other times yes, dear,” whispered Stella, trying to calm Rania who started crying.
The stifled cry grew louder, Rania's body shook as no one was willing to grant her wish. Rania stared one by one at the faces in the room, hoping that someone would support her.
Bella approaches, holding Rania's hand.
“Mas, did we drive him home?” ask Bella, give me an idea.
Bara was surprised, rejecting an idea he thought was crazy. Bella doesn't know how her ex-wife is doing. The beauty doctor was indeed really beautiful outside of her alone, but her heart was really hard and hard to conquer.
Every Bara visited Rania, there was only Stella who accompanied. Brenda chose to leave and did not want to meet him.
“Can't, Bell. Maybe next time, yeah.” Bara refuses, coding Stella to calm Rania down.
“Rania returns with Aunty Ste. I'll see Daddy again. We persuaded Mommy to allow Rania to stay at Daddy's place,” Stella said, bowing in front of Rania who was wiping her tears.
“Yes, this week Daddy promised his sister Rania to play at home,” persuaded Bara back.
Rania was still unwilling, but she could do nothing. To meet Bara, it is not an easy matter. Bara has to make a promise to miss Stella.
Brenda has never balked, but his ex-wife has also not accepted him with open arms. Their divorce was ten years ago, not a good one. Even before the divorce, they had to fight almost every night.
