‘They're that close to the bathroom Alex doesn't look at me,’ Dante is upset and not out of thought with his son's behavior. Dante who had wanted to go down immediately even spent more than half an hour since delivering food until now.
“Come Alex! You've changed clothes, now you sleep yes.” Bella and Alex are out of the dressing room and Bella lays Alex on the bed.
“Bella, you didn't sleep with me like you did last afternoon?” ask Alex again.
“You want to sleep with me?” bella smiled at Alex.
“I want! We sleep under the covers but the lights are off.” Alex said.
Dante who heard his son's words was shocked. “Alex, why did you ask Bella like that. Aren't you afraid of the dark?”
“Iya Alex, why would you sleep with the lights off?”
“You will sleep with me while hugging me warmly. I'm not afraid of dark Bella! Warm bobo same Bella, I like!” alex looked at Bella expectantly.
“Hahaha you're so funny Alex. But I'm afraid of the dark and I don't dare if the lights are off. Let the lights light up like this but I'll keep you asleep, okay?” bella's face was getting anxious.
“If you are afraid of dark, I should be afraid of dark too Bella?” ask Alex.
“No! Nah! That's not what I meant. You don't have to be afraid of the dark, because you're a brave boy. I'm the one who's afraid of the dark.”
“Wait first! You removed Alex's trauma to the dark?” dante asked in surprise as he looked at Bella, he felt curious about the conversation of the two people.
“I don't know.” replied Bella indifferently.
“But he told me that he was afraid of the dark, but why did he tell you that he wanted to sleep in the dark?” Dante still asked as he looked at Bella with both of his hands against his chest.
“Dear Lord Dante! I told you I didn't know. You just ask your son, why are you interrogating me? You and I alike, we can't get into his mind. He just said what he wanted to say, his name was also children, labile!” Bella grimaced and said the sentence as she pleased. “He's your son, isn't he? If he's your son there must be a brave soul in him that makes him dare to be dark. Unless he is my son he must not easily forget his fear of the dark.!”
‘This woman! He could talk to me that way! This child was in her womb for nine months. Maybe what he said was true, this kid has my genes and I'm brave! His childhood and all the memories with this woman while in the womb that might scare him. But that's good too, there's still my gene influence in him so he doesn't fear the dark. The others, all followed this woman. His attitude, his character, hobbies and others are exactly the same.’ Dante still does not understand and has not digested everything expressed by Bella.
“Bella! I'm sleepy. Hoaaammmmm.” says Alex yawns wide. He was already full of food, of course drowsiness struck.
“I accompany yes. But the light just went on yeah.” Bella is a bit sulky trying to persuade Alex.
“Iya Bella! But you hugged me like that, right? If the lights are off we're in the blanket.”
“Iya, we sleep in a blanket like that while hugging.” said Bella. ‘Huh this kid is smart once.’
“Iya want a hug!” Alex wants Bella to hug him because she feels warm and comfortable.
“Good sleep Alex.” said Bella peed her forehead.
“Good sleep Bella.” Alex kissed her cheek. Both were lost under thick blankets.
Dante just stood there staring at the lump of blankets covering the two men.
‘Does my son feel that he is his birth mother? That's why she gets along so quickly and Alex seems to be comfortable with the woman. Have I made a mistake now by bringing her here? I'm afraid Alex will love Bella more than Tatiana! But no way, I've been telling her how Tatiana's nurtured her since infancy and I'll keep reminding Alex of that. But why do I feel so happy that she's closer to Bella? Why does my heart feel shady, I've never felt this before.’ Dante smiled and was still standing staring at the mound of the blanket.
His hand grabbed the blanket, “Why don't you come out of the blanket? My son is asleep, there is no sound anymore.” said Dante whispered to Bella.
“Can you get your hands off my body?” said Bella who felt Dante's hand holding her waist. Dante sat on the bed patting Bella's back.
“You can stay away? I want to go down.” said Bella ketus pull Dante's hand but the man was reluctant to move his hand from Bella's body.
“Down!” Dante stood up and let Bella get out of bed after she saw the anger in her eyes.
“Hey, where are you going?” dante asked when he saw Bella hurrying. His forehead was not happy.
“You go to my room if my room is still over there and has not moved to the warehouse! Unless you want to move my room somewhere else, that's your right.” Bella said without looking at Dante.
“I'm still talking to you, why are you still stepping up and not looking at me?” pissed Dante. ‘He really spoke without looking at me.’
“What do we want to talk about again?” Bella turned to look at Dante.
“You're still mad at me, baby?” dante's voice slowly softened.
“Honey? Huh! Do I have any right to be angry with you? Did you forget about your treatment of me?”
Dante realizes how angry Bella is with him. Then she pulled Bella and took off her shirt button. “Get your hands off! Don't touch me again!”
‘Huh at will he wants to hold on after what he did to me! She thinks I'd touch her again?’ Bella muttered as she stepped back making distance with dante.
“Belinda Alexandra! You've disappointed me!”
“Lantas what do you want? Punishing me? Punish him! Don't you like punishing me? You are free to punish me as what I am and I will never be able to fight back.” Bella replied fiercely without staring at Dante in the slightest.
“Belinda! Look at me when you talk!” Dante forced with high intonation, his self-control was out of his control. For the first time Bella refused and acted that cute.
“Like this?” bella asked, rounding her eyes.
“You caused trouble by saying bad things about my wife and now why are you mad at me? You should have apologized to me.” Without the slightest guilt and no desire to apologize because he slapped Bella earlier.
“I'm sorry, have you?” it was Bella who dared to say that word.
‘Why is he acting like this?’ whispered heart of Dante who did not think that Bella would have the courage to deny it, not as usual.
“Good if you know yourself to apologize, is this the right attitude apologize?”
“Then do you want what I should behave like?”
“Terden! If for you this is your best attitude, just do it.” Dante grunting.
“You're done talking Mr Dante?”
“Already! Go!”
“Thank you.” said Bella then closed the connecting door.
‘Puff why is he so? He didn't look at me at all, didn't even look at me. Usually he is very spoiled and always teases me. Was it because I slapped him? Did it hurt her so much that she was that angry with me?’ Dante smiled thinly.
