One Night's Passion With a Candidate In-par
The bonchap 23
An hour after Raymod and Haikal left, Bella returned home to Danu. As long as they fit the wedding dress together until returning home, there was no important chat between them.
Even Bella let Danu chat with her parents in the living room, she decided to just go into the room. From Bella's attitude, Danu knows that Bella must be very forced to accept this matchmaking, but Danu needs Bella so that Omnya can give her inheritance of both parents on the condition that Danu must get married first. And it is undeniable that he has an interest in Bella as well.
Bella had known from the beginning that she was betrothed to Danu, although she had refused but her father advocated to know Danu further, at that time Bella never considered the match. So when Bella has a boyfriend and introduces her boyfriend to the father, her boyfriend is immediately made not to want to see Bella again because Reno thinks the man looks just toying with his son.
Therefore whenever Raymond asked Bella to allow him to meet his parents, Bella always refused, because she was not ready to lose Raymond if she knew he had been betrothed.
Chequek!
Arumi went into the princess's room, she saw Bella sitting on the edge of the bed with a grim looking face.
"There was a man named Raymond coming here."
Bella grew up hearing the mother's words, "Raymond?"
From Bella's gaze when she said the man's name, Arumi could tell that her daughter had a heart in the man named Raymond.
"Yes, he came here to propose to you."
Bella tried to hold back her tears, she should not waver with her decision, but still it was painful because she could not forget the man.
"Did you like that guy, Bella?"
Bella's eyes glazed over at the question from her mother, she did not want to answer the question from Arumi.
"If you really like that guy, mom will help you talk to your dad."
"It's also free, Ma, Bella doesn't want me to be angry. Moreover, Bella does not want mama and papa to fight because of Bella." Finally Bella's tears spilled too, Bella can not stem it anymore.
Arumi wiped away her son's tears, she held both of Bella's shoulders "The marriage was only once in a lifetime, dear. Therefore you must marry in front of the man you like. Your father was young, he'll understand."
Bella was speechless, she could only sob, to be honest she also wanted to live with the man she loved, and that man was Raymond. Arumi hugged Bella letting Bella cry in her arms.
After Danu left, this afternoon Bella wanted to have a serious talk with her father, accompanied by her mother.
"Bella's sorry well, Bella..." Bella felt claustrophobic to continue her words, "Bella can't continue this matchmaking."
"What are you talking about, Bella?" Reno was furious.
Arumi held Reno's hand to calm her down.
Bella sobbed, "Bella doesn't want to marry Danu. Bella has rejected him several times, but I do not want to hear that is why Bella from yesterday resigned alone, Bella can not oppose the wishes of father. But Bella loves another man, well. Bella wants to live with him."
Reno just stared intently at Bella without saying anything but that gaze was enough to make Bella sick. Reno let out a heavy sigh, he immediately got up and left his wife and child.
"Dad."
Arumi held Bella, "Your father is calming her heart and thinks, let it be now your mother's business, you will talk well with your father."
Bella just nodded her head, letting her mother go to see her father who was calming down in the backyard.
Arumi sat next to her husband who was sprinkling fish food into the pond with a blank look.
"Am I being too hard on Bella?" lirih Reno's. "When I do this all for the good of our son."
"What we think is good is not necessarily good for Bella, not necessarily Bella happy, dear."
"Yes, baby, I know. But I'm just afraid that Bella's marrying the wrong guy, and hurting Bella."
Arumi hugged the husband from behind, "The man named Raymond seems to love our son very much. Bella loves him too. We used to marry because we loved each other, just like Bella, Bella would want to marry the man she loved."
Arumi's words made Reno shake her heart. He was silent holding Arumi's hand which was hugging him. He couldn't think clearly this afternoon.
