Sharing Love: Regrets
Part 39: The Imperfect Hate




Exactly at 09.00 the meeting room was filled by members of the board of directors and company officials.


Brian sat next to Calvin, not long after entering Gabriel and his assistant trust then followed Bella at the back.


Then Gabriel introduces Bella who is the son of Alnord and is his favorite daughter-in-law.


"As of today I officially announce Bella as the new head of the company."


There is no comment or rebellion, if it is a candidate chosen directly by Gabriel it is certain that the person must be competent, even though in fact Brian's performance has not been flawed in the least.


Meeting's done...


All the meeting participants left the meeting room one by one until there were only five people left. Brian, Gabriel, Calvin, Gabriel and Bella's assistant.


Gabriel gestured to his personal assistant and Calvin to leave the room.


After the two men came out, Gabriel restarted the conversation.


"Brian you know what your mistake was?"


Brian lowered.


"You don't have to think that Bella complained to Papa! Because all this time Papa has always been watching your behavior! You're grateful that Bella was your wife, because Papa was so sure that if it was another woman she would have left you!"


"I'm sorry Brian Pa!"


"Not to Papa Brian but to Bella!"


Brian sighed "I'm sorry Bell!"


"Do you think your behavior is forgivable?"


"No!" Answer Brian.


"Brian!"


"Yes Pa!"


"From now on, you just need to help Bella!" Gabriel said as he got up from his seat and passed away.


Brian and Bella are there.


"Let's get back to work too!"


"Bell!"


"Yes!"


"What about your dream?"


Bella sighed "I've thrown it away!" Then the woman left Brian with a thought of his death.


Brian felt guilty...


Because of her, Bella finally had to throw away her dreams.


***


On the sidelines of her busy life, Bella took the time to send a short message to her husband.


"How about we have dinner tonight, I'll find a nice restaurant!"


Then put back his phone and re-engaged with his work.


***


After returning home from work.


In the car...


The afternoon road was so crowded, the car crept slowly...


Bella chooses a Japanese restaurant and chooses a covered place.


"I ordered your favorite food! Eat up!"


"Thank you for the food!" Brian replied, feeding a piece of sushi into his mouth.


"Can we eat while we talk? Bella's question split the silence.


Without answering Brian stopped his eating.


Looked at Bella with her stupid look...


That innocent face made Bella go awry.


"You don't have to look at me like that!"


"Ah.Yes!" Then the man spread his gaze at the line of tempting food that lay before him.


"I can't forgive you! So..would we just end this relationship!" Said softly while looking at her husband, trying to find the answer from the plain face.


Brian's surprised...


The chopsticks in his hand were gone.


He knew exactly what kind of mistake he was making.


But he really never thought that Bella said like that, suddenly her heart became muddled. He was a man but he could not even hold that shameful stupid thing out of his eyes.


The next second the man was already at Bella's feet "I'm sorry Bella!"


"Don't I say it? I can't even forgive you.I love you.and I'm willing to bet that my love is so much bigger than yours. But everything is difficult, can you understand me.Every time I am close to you, I am afflicted with fear and anger. I trusted you last time but not this time!"


"You don't have to forgive me, but please give me one more chance!"


"Should we live in theatrics again? We can live together, but don't ever wish for each other!"


"I can't...!"


"Aren't you an expert at that?"


"Bella!"


"Sit in your place!"


"No! Until you give me a second chance!"


Bella shifts her seat "Alright! You can kneel like that until you want to!" He got up from his seat and left.


"Bella....!"


He will not look back, or his heart will melt again.


After Bella's departure, Brian was still in his original position. Composed with a roar of regret that does not end...


He felt his feet numb and could barely move.


***


Bella was still in the car, sitting pensively.


His tears also spilled uncontrollably.is the decision he just made the right one?


Is it true that he was able to live one-stop with Brian without re-engaging his feelings?


Quitting love is harder than learning to love.


And without Bella realizing her love for Brian had begat pinak like a bunch of weeds that are difficult to destroy.


Even after her betrayal and pain all this time, Bella was not even able to hate the man with all her heart.
