MY LECTURER DUREN (COLD WIDOWER )

Chapter 26 (influence of Bella )

"Bu Nindi sorry I don't know either. When I came to tea, Mr. Satpam said that Arsy had come home earlier to pick up his brother." said Mila. He was scared in front of me.

When I was going to pick up Arsy, Mila called that she was not at school. As soon as he came home, he explained that Arsy had left before he came. The security guard allowed it, because Arsy looked familiar with the woman who picked him up.

But who?

Arsy has no more brothers. I've also contacted Aunt Lisa. But he wasn't the one who picked her up.

How'this? Nathan just left yesterday for Jogja. I can't possibly call Mas Nathan. He can be anxious, and will interfere with his work.

Ting. Nongs.

The bell rang. I immediately ran towards the door, hoping it was Arsy. But my hope was not fulfilled. It turns out that came precisely Aunt Lisa and Brother Faiz.

"Nindi, be patient. We're looking together" said Aunt Lisa, trying to calm me down.

I nodded slowly, "How is this, Tan. It's my fault. I should've picked him up early."

"Std. Calm well. Arsy must be fine. Did you tell me, she said Arsy went with someone she knew? who do you think that is? nathan's brother maybe?"

"I don't know, aunt. As far as I know, Mas Nathan doesn't have any more family here."

"wait. A woman, and her brother Arsy? I think I know who." said Faiz suddenly.

Me and Aunt Lisa looked at Faiz at the same time.

"It looks like it's Bella." Brother Faiz continued.

Bella's?

Bella Jihan's sister?

Suddenly my head felt dizzy. I staggered and almost fell down, if not held by Aunt Lisa. They took me into the house. In a semi-conscious state, I saw Aunt Lisa laying me down on the living room couch. His face looked very worried, while shouting to call Mila to bring her a drink.

"Nindi, relax. Let's drink first." Aunt Lisa gave me a glass of water and forced me to drink it.

"Uhuk."

"Nindi you okay? Faizal! why are you bengong anyway? check on Nindi!"

"I'm a psychiatrist, Lis! not a general practitioner. What kind of mental illness is Nindi?" sahut Faiz was confused.

"Aunty, I'm fine. It was just a little dizzy" I said slowly.

Aunt Lisa was still glaring back at Brother Faiz, making me smile a little at their quarrel.

"You calm down, Nin. I'll try to call Bella. I happen to have the number" Faiz said.

Hearing that, Aunt Lisa again glared sharply at him. If under normal circumstances, surely Aunt Lisa has been clawing - pecking angry at Kak Faiz, because it could - usually the man has Bella's contact number.

But Aunt Lisa tried to swallow her anger round. Seen from his reddened face now.

She was grunting, when she saw Faiz talking softly on the phone asking Bella for her position. I just kept quiet, trying to listen to Brother Faiz. It seems true that Arsy was brought by Bella, because Faiz's sister told Bella to come home.

After the conversation was over, Brother Faiz turned to look at me.

"Nindi, it turns out Bella was the one who brought Arsy. He's on his way here right now."

I let out a sigh of relief. At least Arsy's fine. But why Bella?

Why is that woman still bothering me now?

When he comes, I have to teach him a lesson.

Bella's gone too far! if Mas Nathan finds out, he'll be angry, too.

Thirty minutes later, there was no sign of Bella coming with Arsy. I started to get nervous, in the last thirty minutes no one spoke between us. Everyone is busy with their own thoughts.

Even Aunt Lisa was just pouting at Brother Faiz. It seemed like she was really upset with the man who was about to become her husband.

Then, an orange jazz honda car, seen entering the yard of the house. I immediately got off the couch, headed for the door.

The car stopped, and it wasn't long before Bella got out of there, along with Arsy.

The woman took Arsy who was now walking cheerfully while carrying some paper bag. I just kept waiting for him at the door.

"Mama... Arsy's running out - same way Aunt Bella. He gave me a lot of presents." Arsy ran up to me, showing off the pepper bag he had been carrying.

I did not answer, but instead looked at Bella fiercely. How dare that woman take Arsy without permission first?

Bella smiled broadly. I know, that smile is fake.

"Why did you take Arsy? you know this act of yours is tantamount to kidnapping!" I picked up Bella, as soon as she got close.

"Attraction? Arsy is my nephew. It's only natural that the tantenya invite him to play." replied Bella with a haughty expression that is very annoying.

"But you should have permission first. Arsy is my son too!"

"Kids? did I not hear wrong? Arsy is Jihan's son, my real brother. You are just an outsider. A pretentious little girl wants to be Arsy's mother, but she can't take care of it!"

Plaque!

I can't take it anymore. A slap I lay on the face of that beautiful and haughty woman. Aunt Lisa immediately came forward trying to hold me back, so as not to attack Bella again.

"Mama. Why mom slap Aunt Bella. Bad mama!" Arsy was crying, and he ran inside without me stopping.

Ah, why can my emotions be provoked by this witch!

And it happened in front of Arsy?

She must hate me now, consider me an evil stepmother.

Bella looks at me giddy, she moves to attack and hit me, but the hunt is held up by Brother Faiz.

"How dare he slap me! ****** small. B*tch."

"Enough! Bella, you better get out of here. If Nathan finds out, he must be mad at you." snapped Faiz.

Hearing Mas Nathan's name, Bella's brutal movement stops. He pushed out Brother Faiz, and tidied up his messy hair.

"OK I'm leaving. Listen to Nindi! I won't let you be happy. Until whenever you're just an outsider, don't expect to be Arsy's mother."

My body still shakes with anger.

The outsider he said?

I'm married to Mas Nathan. Of course Arsy is my son too.

He should be the one who looks at himself, the outsider is not me, but him!.

******

This was the first time that Arsy was angry with me, I repeatedly asked him to talk, but the little girl still ignored him.

It seems like I'm too arrogant, assuming I can face Arsy myself. In fact, he is really difficult to persuade if he is angry.

It's worth it, Mas Nathan gave up, took me to his house because Arsy broke down.

"Baby arsy... Don't get angry again dong." I persuaded him again, by putting both my hands in his ears. Hope Arsy is devastated.

He glanced at me at a glance, then a small snort as if to mock me. Then back busy coloring picture books.

Aih, this child really looks like his father when he is angry like this.

"Arsy, my mom is sorry. Don't want to accept the apology including bad deeds."

Now Arsy's distracting.

"It hasn't been 3 days. Marahan can be original no more than three days."

Whats? what kind of answer is that

"Unfortunately Arsy can stand yes, angry with mom for three days. If my mom can't." I said again.

Arsy was still silent, he just went to pick up the color paint in his bag. Then sit back at the study table. Passing through me, like I wasn't there.

Hufh. This little girl really went down to Mas Nathan's nature. It seems like I should give up and leave it alone first now. Later that night I persuaded him again.

"Judek. Mama ahead first yes, accompany Aunt Lisa and Om Faizal. If Arsy's not busy, mama's back."

I kissed her cheek at a glance, usually Arsy will return my kiss. But because he was angry, so he just pouted not to reply.

If only there was Mas Nathan, he would have helped me. But I can't keep relying on Mas Nathan.

Anindira Spirit!

You can be a strong wife and mother.

🌸🌸🌸

At night, the,

I deliberately went to Arsy's room, planning to sleep there. When I opened the door to her room, Arsy was busy playing with a new toy that Bella had bought.

"Arsy hasn't slept?"

He just glanced at me, then came back to play not caring about my arrival. Apparently the strike is still going on.

"Mom can follow?"

As soon as I sit next to him. Arsy sighed and left me. He climbed on the bed and slept facing the wall.

It turns out that this hurt feels ignored by Arsy, he could be this angry just because I slapped his tant.

Well, I was wrong too. Shouldn't show violence in front of Arsy.

"Arsy, when are you gonna be mad at Mama?" I walked over to Arsy, and then went up to his bed.

Gently stroked the little girl's hair. Her hair was brown blonde, similar to Jihan's. His face was also very similar to Jihan, just that his nature alone might be completely similar to Mas Nathan.

Bella said, I'm just an outsider for Arsy. Unlike Bella, her status as Jihan's sibling, certainly makes her relationship with Arsy stronger.

Without feeling my tears dripping, hit Arsy's cheek. I immediately rubbed it before Arsy regained consciousness. But too late, Arsy has turned his body around. His round eyes now look at me softly.

"Mama why cry?"

I immediately shook my head. Trying to hide my tears.

"Yes Arsy sorry about mom. But don't cry anymore. Papa said, Arsy must be a good boy. Can't make mama cry."

The plain little girl's words made my heart knock.

"Mama should be apologizing to Arsy. Sorry yeah... That afternoon my mother was worried. Afraid that Arsy was kidnapped. That's why my mom's angry."

Arsy nodded, "Arsy also apologizes yes, ma. It made my mom worried."

At last.... I grabbed Arsy in my arms. I really love him very sincerely.

"Mama." Arsy let go of his embrace.

"Yes baby?"

"Last noon Aunt Bella said that having a stepmother is not good. Because stepmother is evil."

Bella's!

She really is a witch. I know Bella's purpose this time was to influence Arsy to hate me.

"What about Arsy? what is the bad mama?"

Arsy shook his head. "No. Mama Nindi is good. Same with Arsy. So Aunt Bella's lying, Ma."

"Arsy, my mom is very dear to Arsy. So if someone says you're going to be mean to Arsy, that's not true."

"Yes ma. Arsy knows."

I breathe heavily. It seems that this matter cannot be left alone. Nathan needs to know what Bella did today.
