The journey of Bella and Philip looked silent, none of these usually very noisy humans spoke. Of course no one spoke because Bella was asleep next to Philip who was driving with focus. They turned out to have walked far from the city to the suburban village tens of kilometers from the city where they lived.
Bella fell asleep in an uncomfortable position, her head propped against the windshield and her legs bent, it was uncomfortable but the girl's body was already too tired until she fell asleep in a position that could make the neck sore.
Philip glanced at the girl, the girl who listened to her story and hugged her tightly until she felt calm and fell asleep with a wail.
To be honest, Philip's early sleep was a very deep sleep, not like before, the sleep is haunted with nightmares that strangle him until he chooses to stay up late and not sleep for hours.
“ How can you comfortably sleep like that, your neck must be sore,” murmured Philip while marginalizing his car. She looked at Bella, an indecipherable look in the eyes, her hands gently rubbed the delicate mane of the chatty but caring girl in front of her.
“ Thank you for hearing my story, I am grateful to have you in my si bel, thank you for not leaving me when I relapsed, thank you for being by my side for such a long time,”. Bella's hard work and the girl's loyalty make Philip appreciate Bella more than she knows. Even if she upset Bella a lot by asking her to go abroad, there is a sweet purpose behind it all.
He just wants Bella who is tired of working, vacationing for a few nights in a foreign land and enjoying her own time there, he knows Bella's workload is huge, take care of her who has phobia with strangers and take care of all her annoying behavior.
Philip was not unaware of his annoying nature, but he had to do so in order to stay afloat amid the rigors of the path he had to go through.
“ This is why I ask you to go abroad with the frills of taking a color ijo hahah.. if I remember your face every time I tell you to laugh, you don't know that I did it so that my good secretary could take a vacation under the pretext of work, so that others wouldn't talk about you, “ Philip said while fixing Bella's sleeping position by lowering Bella's chair and putting up a neck pillow for the girl.
“ He must be exhausted , but even though tired of his chatty lips this will never stop nagging me, you must be attached,” murmured Philip, A beautiful smile was drawn on the man's face with sincerity as he enveloped Bella and continued on their way.
Philip was driving quietly and slowly to make Bella unbearable, while staring at the street he hummed softly and felt the breeze touching the end of his hand that he took out of the car window.
Bella peeked, without Philip noticing, the girl listened to all of Philip's words and noticed all of Philip's movements. He had not fully slept until Philip touched his head gently.
“ Foolish, why did you do that, I feel guilty for swearing yourself a few times, you lollipop sir, I got deg degan right? “ Inner Bella. Without her permission her tears flowed, she still vividly remembered the story Philip told a few hours ago, a very heartbreaking and heart-wrenching story. It felt like bella wanted to hug Philip and reassure him that everything would be fine.
Bella looked the other way, wiped her tears slowly and then fell asleep again.
Along the way Bella slept, Philip stopped at several stops and bought orders for his sister cherry who was cravings.
The man got out of the car as he arrived at the edge of town where he and Bella were staying. With a smile she looked at the fruit shop that sold many fruits there. The man stepped foot into the store, “ Pak no young mango?” ask the man with a radiant face while choosing other fruits that Cherry might like and are also good for new mothers. Even if he is a messy person and seems careless, he is a very considerate person.
“ His wife is cravings huh sir?” asked the fruit seller while glancing into the car where Bella slept with her mouth gaping, this time she really slept soundly even though she remembered.
“ ehh no sir, this is for my sister, cravings, “ Philip said with a friendly smile.
“ ahhhh... I think his wife, because you guys fit hahah..” chirped the old seller's father.
“ this is the fruit, do you need anything else?” ask the father.
“wrap this one too Sir, same sweet salad, I buy all go with the jar,” Philip refer to the container of candied salad requested by Cherry when calling earlier.
After everything was wrapped and put in the car, Philip paid more for the father of the fruit seller.
“ mean father?”
The old man simply smiled as he looked at Philip and glanced at Bella. With a confused face Philip walked back towards his car and looked at Bella who was still asleep with her mouth open.
At the same time, suddenly someone pulled the man's arm,” Philip , you bastard son, I looked for you where and it turns out you are here huh? Damn child, come with me and you'll be married soon!!" the woman who turned out to be Philip's mother.
Seeing his mother's wrathful face, Philip gasped in shock and fell silent with a trembling body. It did not take long, the man's trauma returned, as seen from how Philip was silent with a trembling body and his head lowered with his fingers shaking uncontrollably.
“ join au, you will marry the woman I choose, quickly follow me, otherwise I will lock you up..” furious that woman while pulling Philip's hand towards her car.
Philip did not dare to resist, the shadow of torture that his mother did to the man continued to haunt him as well as making him unable to dwell.
“ A.. au do not want.. I do not want to marry...” reject Philip..
Plakkkp....
“ Dare you answer the mother who gave birth to you , you fucking son!!” screeched the woman while throwing a single blow at Philip's face. He looked at Philip with a stern look, as if he wanted to eat the man.
“ I do not want, I refuse your choice..” Philip said as he took his hand from the woman's grasp.
Lady Marina pulled Philip's hair, grabbed it and pushed it until it fell and was injured by hitting a rock on the road.
“ Tell me to come, or do you want your rotten uncle to kill me huh? Dare to fight against his own mother.” infuriated the woman while grabbing Philip's hair again and giving him a sharp look.
All the traumas of the man revolved around his head, now fear enveloped his body, he stood with trembling legs and tears flowing in his mute cries.
“ Follow au...”ucap Nyonya Marina dnegan firmly.
Suddenly...
“ Philip, we go from here.”
