“Anthony...” just that one word came out of Bella's lips making Anthony smile looking at the woman.
“Why did you call me that? Are you sad that you're parting with me, Bella?” anthony asked.
“Anthony....I'm nervous!” instead of responding to Anthony's temptation, he gave another statement.
“Heeh? What do you mean Bella?” anthony asked, strange as Bella had said.
‘Guggup? Why nervous? Don't they know each other? They have slept together and have children together! Shouldn't it be if two lovers who love each other meet instead they will be more enthusiastic and immediately run to meet his lover right? Why are you nervous?’ the question that arises in the hearts of Anthony who does not understand Bella.
“Anthony! Look at me all right! Do I look pretty? How do I look Anthony?” bella asked quickly and she was really waiting for Anthony's response with anxiety that she could not get over. His mind was running around on Dante, did he look cute in front of Dante? That's what Bella's heart is now.
“Oh Bella! So you're worried about clothes and make up? Hehehe...” Anthony thoughtlessly heard the woman's words and did not know how to respond. ‘How could Dante possibly like this kind of woman? He's too innocent for Dante. I feel sorry for him.’ whispered in Anthony's heart while glancing at Bella again.
“Anthony let's talk to me! Don't make me nervous.”
“Ehm... I think now all Dante needs is not your makeup and clothes but he just needs you to quickly get out of the car and move to his car.” Anthony glanced at Bella.
“Hemm....really?”
“Iya right so.” Anthony nodded his head as he scanned Bella for a moment before looking back at the street.
“Thanks Anthony! You've given me a chance to meet Dante again. Anthony! Actually seeing your face sometimes I feel like you look a lot like Dante. I don't know where that looks but I really like seeing Dante every time I see you.” Bella smiled at Anthony like a farewell.
“I look like Dante? Hahahaha.” Anthony shook his head. “I'm not like him. Don't ever tell me I look like him, Bella.” said Anthony parked his car right next to Dante's car and looked at Bella.
“It's time you got off. Prepare yourself after I talk to her I'll let you down meet her. Wait a minute because there is something I have to ask from Dante.” replied Anthony still with a smile on his face looking at Bella then his hand opened the seat belt.
“Sha Anthony! My hands are so cold, Anthony. I would love to meet Dante. She is the person I have been looking for all this time...” said Bella who had looked at the open door of Dante's car. Smile at their faces and want to hurry down.
“Anthony! Why did you lock the door? I'm going down!” scream Bella.
“As I said earlier if I have to talk to Dante first. After I got an answer from him only I dared to let go of you.” said Anthony pointing towards dante with his chin. Dante had just gotten out of his car so Bella immediately looked at Anthony and changed her gaze and looked at the face she had longed for.
“Dante!” the sentence just came out of Bella's lips while looking at the window glass but Bella and Anthony had no one to get out of the car. ‘He looks happy. That face made her happy. Uh! Why is it so hard to let Bella go! I want Bella to be with me but what else? You're pregnant with Dante's child, you need to be returned to him and I see happiness in your eyes. You really want to be with her, don't you, Bella? But hopefully he doesn't put you in that room again.’ Anthony spoke in his heart.
There is a sense of unease that he felt, he did not want Bella to be hurt again but there is also turmoil if Bella is not returned to Dante, will the woman survive and want to continue life without Dante? What about the baby she had? All of that was Anthony's consideration so he got out of the car and took a serious look at Dante. There was no smile on Anthony's face and he had no intention of joking around as he always did with Dante on the phone.
But Anthony shook his head and smiled bitterly at the man in front of him as he closed the door of his car and walked up to Dante.
“I won't take it out before I get an agreement from you.” Anthony said again as he walked around and stood beside Bella's door, facing Dante who was standing in front of his car.
“You want what agreement again?” ask Dante.
“Something simple.” replied Anthony with a smile.
“Say!” Dante spoke directly without saying stale any longer.
“Your basement problem is Dante!” Anthony spoke firmly to the point.
“Ah! You're afraid I'm putting her in there again?” Dante immediately understood what the man who was seven years younger meant by him while looking at him fixedly.
“I'm worried about him. Because I saw for myself how tormented he was in there. He almost died! If I don't take him away. Bella's condition I can't imagine at that time, the wound on her back, the smell of blood all over her body, her lips dry from dehydration and her eyes empty like a dying Dante! You tortured Bella to such a degree. That's why I'm not sure about handing Bella over to you!”
Anthony shook his head and could see the look on his face was holding back emotions on Dante. “So I just let go of Bella if something like that you won't do again!” adamant Anthony while pointing his gun at Dante, he was already on guard before leaving earlier. “You are not afraid of this?”
“Even before I pulled the trigger I was sure you must have put up a fight and my shot was definitely missed. I'm just in case Dante!” Anthony added his sentence again without pulling the trigger of his weapon that was already pointing at Dante.
‘Cih! She thinks I don't know? He attacked me not on that gun but he inserted a knife in his shoe, he also inserted it near his belt. Whenever he could wear it, he purposely opened a little of his jacket so I could see what was there? Huh! He really wants to lock me up?’ whispered Dante in his heart who began to measure the possibility of an attack that would be carried out by Anthony.
“How should I promise you to convince you?” Dante asked again.
“I can start with your words.”
“Hah! How can you be sure my words can be held?” Dante offered a cynical smile while holding his chin, though,
“And one more thing after he got out of your car, I took him away and what do I do if I've taken him away? Can you imagine? I can do anything to him because he has nothing to do with you anymore! Whatever happens to him you'll never see again!” slow down, but the sentence gives emphasis.
Dante had walked forward until the tip of Anthony's weapon stuck to his body when pulling the trigger then the hot lead could nest in Dante's body.
“You want to die?”
“That death is my life friend!” knock Dante while pointing something also to the most important part of a man that makes Anthony very surprised.
