The Love of the Maharani

Love of Bella

"Mrs, do you still want to sit here casually?"

Anna lifted her face from the screen. He looked directly at Bella who was standing in front of him.

Feeling her savior from the awkward situation at the place had finally come, Anna immediately stood up. Before actually stepping away, Anna had said goodbye to Andrew.

"Mrs. Andrews. Here are my farewells. Enjoy your time!" Anna said with a faint smile.

Andrew gave her a brief nod. Anna finally leaves with Bella.

After walking quite far from where they were sitting earlier, Anna finally reopened her mouth.

"Bella, please don't call me madam. Anna is enough. I'm not used to being called that" Anna said in her complaint.

Bella was briefly silent to weigh the request from Anna. After a while passed, Bella finally agreed to her request.

"alright. Anna," call Bella with a friendly smile.

Anna doesn't know if she should be careful with Bella or not. Remembering Bella seemed to harbor feelings for Daffa, her husband. Anna is beginning to doubt her guess. After a long conversation with Bella.

To further confirm Bella's feelings for Daffa, Anna finally asked something to the woman with the shoulder-length hair cut.

"Bella.. As long as you work with Daffa, does she have a boyfriend or previous lover?" Anna asked timidly.

Bella smiled briefly at Anna, and then just answered the simple-looking woman's question.

"Mr Daffa has never been seen close to another woman, for as long as I know. Close in intimate relationships, definitely not. Even so, there are many women who often pursue and seek the attention of the Young Master," said Bella began the story.

"I only know Miss Joanna, daughter of Haris Endrawan's family who is also the father of her close friend Young Master."

Hearing Joanna's name, Anna's ears immediately stood alert. He focused his attention on Bella seriously.

"But to my discretion, Young Master only considers Miss Joanna like her own sister" Bella continued.

"None of the other women managed to attract the attention of Mr. Daffa. Most eventually gave up and could only admire Master in silence.."

"There are very few of these women who still persistently pursue the attention of Mr. Daffa" Bella said.

Anna knitted her two eyebrows. She had guessed that her husband must have had many female admirers.

Suddenly Anna felt a little sorry about marrying Daffa. He was not sure that he would be strong enough to face off against the female hyenas who pursue Daffa's love later.

Anna doesn't want to have enemies. But if you have to deal with a tough woman who pursues Daffa's love, should she survive?

Anna rethinks her feelings for Daffa. At this time he had already realized that he had a fond feeling for the young man. But is just a feeling of liking enough to make him stay by Daffa's side?

Anna looks a gamang.

Looking at the expression on Anna's face, Bella felt a little guilty. It seemed like his words just now had caused a ripple of worry in the friendly woman's mind.

The next second Bella was in a hurry to try to calm Anna.

"But Madam, uh, Anna doesn't have to worry! I think Mr. Daffa loves you very much. So Master will definitely make sure that the women chasing after him will not bother you!" Bella is calming.

Anna gives Bella a doubtful look. Then, hesitantly, he asked again.

"Bell, are you... Mm. you too.." Anna hesitated to continue her question. She timidly looked at Bella many times.

But Bella seemed to understand what Anna was worried about. So that in the next sentence, Bella managed to dismiss the concerns of Anna.

"I'm not part of the women who pursue their love, Mr. Daffa, Anna. The relationship that I have and I think happened between us is just a relationship between the boss and the employees" Bella said.

"Oh! Mm. that's it."

Anna feels that she has been caught keeping suspicion on Bella. Finally for the next few seconds he was silent.

"After all," continued Bella again. "There's someone I've liked for a long time. Since I was a teenager."

Bella stopped her steps, then stared at the blue sea in the distance. Making Anna who was next to him, inevitably ended up stopping and looking in the same direction.

"I've loved that person for a long time.." Bella continued to tell the story, still with a view to the open sea in the distance.

It was ten in the morning. It didn't feel like an hour ago Anna was enjoying the beach breeze.

The atmosphere of the beach is still quite crowded with the activities of people who relax and unwind. Even so, in the middle of this crowd Anna seemed to be able to feel the loneliness that enveloped Bella.

The spoon felt real as Anna looked at the shady look in Bella's eyeballs.

"I don't know if I can be strong enough to fight for this feeling. Because he himself wasn't sure of the existence of our relationship.."

"I can't blame him for being pessimistic. Because sometimes, I feel sorry for our relationship..."

"I've tried many times to get rid of my feelings for him. Many times I have considered our relationship to be as ordinary as everyone else thought. But.."

For a moment, Bella was unable to continue. Meanwhile, Anna felt a dense fog of sadness enveloping the woman.

"But I can't. I can't think of him as an ordinary person. Because somehow since when, he has occupied a privileged position deep in my heart. Even without my knowing it.."

"I love her too much." said Bella finally, in a choked voice.

Anna felt a tightness in her chest. I don't know what Bella is going through so loving feels difficult for the woman.

Is love not a falling feeling?

Isn't it the gravity of fate that puts a person in the pit of love?

Why love is hard,

Why does loving cause tightness in the heart?

Is love not something to be grateful for?

Is it a sign of divine love for His creation?

Is love not something worth celebrating?

Love is the beginning of happiness.

Then where did the clutter come from?

Where the fatigue begins,

Love never does anything, though,

Except tying one heart to another?

...

...

Anna was silent not knowing what to say. In the end he was only able to grab Bella's shoulder and pull the woman's thin body into her arms.

And a slow sob finally broke out of Bella's mouth.

Anna patted Bella's back softly many times. Trying to give strength to the Sundanese-blooded woman.

While deep in her mind, Anna was still overwhelmed with excitement over her feelings for Daffa.

Should he be telling Daffa his feelings now? How dare he give his whole heart and body to a man he has only known for a week? Can he survive to fight for his feelings for the young man?

While the minds of the two women were still clouded in the shadow of the mist of love, the coastal wind still continued to blow slowly towards the South there.
