Dante shook his head rejecting his idea. ‘No....no. I don't want them to take care of him. Do I have to take him to the mansion where I used to put him? Oh no. I can't do that. I don't want you to remember that past and remember that man.’ whispered his heart.
“Didn't you eat, Mister?” bella's soft voice resuscitated Dante from her daydream. He looked at the plate he had prepared for him and walked over to the table.
“You're really starving?” dante asked a glance at Bella's plate which was almost empty.
“That makes you feel good. I really like...hmmmm...you are very good at cooking Mr.” praise Bella with a sweet smile.
“How do you eat that? You've spent a portion of food that is still hot.”
“It's delicious and I love the food that's still hot. If I find good food like this, I eat without thinking. I will spend it as soon as I can.” Bella said without caring about the man in front of her.
“You want to add?”
“Ha? Aren't you eating?” bella asked because the food was exhausted while Dante still had not touched the food at all. He just saw the woman eating.
“I'm not hungry!” said Dante then give the plate to Bella. ‘What is the nature of Alex declining from him?’ he murmured in the heart.
“Heemmmm so delicious Sir. Food as good as this I can finish ten dishes.
“Yakin? After that you will never again want to eat fetucini.” chirps Dante staring at Bella who continues to babble while eating.
“Ha? Why so?”
“Because your stomach will be nauseous and you won't like that food anymore. Food is only good if eaten with small portions and not too often. So you'll always miss that food.”
Bella begins to think about the similarities of Dante and fettucini. ‘Is that why he won't let me touch him? Just holding on a little bit made me drunk. Is that what he wants? She wants to make me miss her?’
“Yes maybe your words are right, Mr.” Bella said while nodding.
“What are you thinking?” ask Dante wonder. ‘Aissshhh...why did his attitude suddenly change? Did he misunderstand me about what I said? This child has a shallow brain and can not think.’ said Dante insinuated Bella in his heart.
“I was remembering something, I once ate a meal but I forgot the name of the meal what.” His finger patted slowly the corner of his forehead as if he was remembering something.
“Hey...I know you like your food but don't eat it so much. Can it be neat no? Your hair is messy and dirty with food.” Dante reflexively spoke up and stood up.
“Oh yes. Sorry.” replied Bella who was confused to see Dante taking care of her hair. “Master what are you doing?” shocked to feel the man's big hand holding his hair.
“I'm braiding your hair so as not to disturb. Just continue eating you. Quickly spend.”
‘Ha? She tidied my hair? Ah...is this real not a dream right?’ Bella murmured in her heart without tears trickling from the corner of her eyes. For a moment he forgot the food in front of him until Dante finished braiding his hair.
“Why are you silent? Quickly spend your food.” said Dante saw the strangeness of the woman's attitude.
“I'm fine, Mr.” while shaking Bella's head removes the clear liquid in the corner of her eyes and then goes back to bribing food.
“Do you cry? Why?”
“Sorry, Mr.” replied Bella Iirih trying to withstand the sadness in her heart.
“Tell me why you're crying.”
“I only remembered my mother.” her face turned sad.
“Your album?” ask Dante. ‘Puffff...thank goodness she cried because she remembered her mother not because she wanted to meet Alex. I would never let Alez acknowledge her as his mother and it could hurt Tatiana.’
‘Iya Sir. I remember my mother, my mother used to braid my hair.” she said while holding her braided hair Dante.
“Quick finish your meal!”
“Iya Sir. I better finish my food than cry.” said Bella but in her heart grumbled ‘This man has absolutely no care.’
“Ha? Why did you call me by that name?” his eyes were staring at Dante.
“Isn't that your name?”
“Where do you know my name?”
“Are you stupid, ha?” Dante scrunched his forehead.
“No. I'm not stupid.”
“Hu..
“I just asked from where do you know my name?”
“So your sister called you and asked to talk to Belinda.”
“Ah..it....” Bella smiled again forgetting all the astonishment that happened.
‘I think he knew me before that's why he called me Belinda. But I like it when he calls me by that name. Sounds warm and comfortable.’ his murmur in the heart. He doesn't know if Dante likes Belinda better than Bella.
‘I don't like to call you Bella. I hated that name and was annoyed to hear it. I was looking for a way to call you Belinda. I prefer that name because when I first got to know you as Belinda. But I don't want anyone to call you Belinda, only I'm worthy to call you by that name.’ her inner self.
“Are you happy today?” ask Dante again.
“Because Master called me by that name?”
Dante just stared at Bella. ‘Why are you giving that sweet smile again? Don't you know that my heart melted and melted by your smile?’ Dante didn't feel comfortable seeing Bella's smile.
“Pelan-pelanlah eat. No one else will snatch your food.”
“I also want to eat slowly, Sir but if I eat slowly then you will wait for me long and I do not want to be scolded again.” replied Bella/
“Isssss... I told you to eat slowly because if you choke, I also bother.”
“Good, Mr.” replied Bella ‘Galak really she is this but she is smart to cook. This food is very good, even though he is a man but how can smart men cook as well as this? Isn't he married, isn't his wife cooking at home?’ heart wonders.
“What do you think?” Dante scrunched his forehead as he watched the dumb-headed Bella.
“No.”
“Do not lie!”
“I was just thinking how do you cook? Though Mr. rich man and must have a chef at home right.”
‘Huff! I almost laughed when I heard the answer. I must not look soft in his eyes I must remain firm and cold.’ muttered Dante.
“If you're done eating quickly go back to the room and sleep!”
“Do you want to go to the room too?” ask Bella plain.
“Hmmm....” replied Dante standing up and about to step away. “Why are you still there?” when she saw Bella still sitting still.
“I can't sleep now.”
“Didn't you see what time it is? Still want to open your eyes, ha?”
“I'm used to not sleeping at night and it's very difficult to change my sleep pattern.” said Bella.
