The Third Match.
Second meeting.
In a place far from the noise of the city, Marsel came to the inn with Diah and Lita. This hotel is located in a village not far from the beach. Marsel freed an acre of land owned by residents and transformed into a shady place. The place where Marsel often comes to when in trouble. Suitable for self-soothing, such as when Bella left herself at that time. Marsel took Lita as an infant, with Oma for up to a few months at this place.
It was these dozens of lodging units that Marsel built from his own sweat, before marrying Arabella.
"Put the belongings at Villa Mang, we will relax first." said Marsel, after getting out of the car.
"Okay sir" Mang Ade immediately put the luggage in the inn. While Marsel ordered the Villa managers to prepare seafood, and fish for the burning event tonight.
"We want to stay here, Pa?" ask Lita. Stripped Marsel's steps in front of him.
"Yes dong, but we go for a walk first" Marsel took Lita and Diah on a boat.
"Yey. get on the boat..." Lita raised her hand up so excitedly walked first past Marsel and Diah while shaking her hips like a dangdut singer. Makes Marsel and Diah laugh at Lita's style.
"We take photos first yuk" asked Diah, asking one of the visitors to help capture this moment. Finish their picture on the boat.
"Mas, rent Villa up to four units, how much does it cost?" Diah observed dozens of beautiful villas seen from the ship.
"Not counting" said Marsel briefly.
Diah doesn't know that this Villa belongs to Marsel. Marsel vacated four villas, so as not to rent them out to others. Mang Ade with Aldo one room. Lita with Marni. Marni is currently on a trip with Aldo and Siska. One room Siska with Bella. Marsel invites Bella to stay here not without Diah's permission.
"If asked that, habit! the answer is nanggung" Diah mrengos upset.
"Haha..." Marsel laughed as he scooped on Diah's face.
"Kok laughs instead" Diah advances his head to look at Marsel's face.
"This villa is ours" Marsel replied casually.
"What?" Diah and Lita were shocked.
"I tell you, because you're my wife, even Bella when I was my wife I never told you" she said.
"It's a great thing to have this many villas" Diah jiggled.
"You are still lacking, my wealth, there is no half of it when compared to the wealth of Papi Efendi" said Marsel.
"But it's Papi's, it's not mine" Diah was humble even though Efendi's papi's wealth belonged to Diah, while Juliana as a stepson only got 1/3.
"Mas, down yuk, we're late on the ship, surely Bella's been waiting" Diah forgot.
"We will be here until tomorrow baby, just relax" replied Marsel.
"Papa Sama from earlier discussed Bella continues, who the hell! Bella's? but Lita seems to have heard that name?" Lita who was sitting in the middle between Marsel and Diah turned left right while pressing on her forehead remembering Bella's name.
Diah and Marsel looked at each other. "We went down, we got to the port" Marsel took his son down, then walked the three looking for a comfortable place. They finally sat on the beach. "Papa Mama wants to talk to Lita" Marsel began to talk while looking at the pounding waves.
"Lita, all you know so far, that the mother who conceived and gave birth to you is dead is wrong Son" Marsel put Lita's head on her chest kissing her daughter's head gently.
"Keep" Lita looked up at Marsel. Looks like the papa is heavy to say.
"I'm sorry dear Papa, if Papa has always been covering up about who and where your Mommy is, because what? because Papa doesn't want to lose you, son," Obviously Marsel wouldn't be willing if Bella took Lita away from him, even though Bella's birth mother. Bella never remembered her daughter.
"lost? what the hell does Pa mean? Lita was confused," She got up from Marsel's shoulders, wanting an answer that was not long-winded. Children who are not even five years old certainly do not understand all the problems faced by their parents.
"Your mother is actually still there, son, and she is currently here, wanting to meet you" said Marsel lirih.
Diah nodded. "Lita.. no matter how bad a mother is, our heaven is on the soles of her feet, son, so we mustn't hate her." Diah stared at Lita's face.
"Mother said Master Lita, also said so Ma, but why did Lita's mother never see Lita?" Lita turned sad.
"Mommy once went to see Lita, remember no, yesterday there was a pregnant woman, who wanted to pick Lita up." Diah reminded.
"That's Ma's kidnapper" Lita was shocked.
"Not really, she's your Mommy, and then ask Papa's permission to pick Lita up." Diah convinced.
While Lita was just silent not at all surprised.
"Well, now that we meet Mommy, Lita will ask herself why Mommy did not meet you" Diah cupped Lita's cheeks.
"Come on" Marsel walked in the middle of holding his son and wife, to the Villa where Bella was.
*******
Inside the Villa, Bella fixes her makeup. He smiled in the mirror, then looked up. This villa he slept with Marsel when they were together five years ago.
He looked up to remember the moment when Marsel invited him to stay here. She was pregnant, just like now. Bella smiled and rubbed her stomach. "We'll be with papa tonight, and so on son." he murmured.
The flashback
"Ello.. Our son moves on..." Bella sleeps on Marsel's chest.
"Hehe..." Marsel gently rubbed Bella's stomach during pregnancy Marsel is always a concern. Whatever Bella asks for, Marsel always does. At the time of cravings Bella asked for something sometimes beyond reason but Marsel tried to find.
"According to USG our children do we want to give a name to whom?" ask Bella.
"Calista, I've been preparing that name since I haven't known the gender of our son" Marsel kissed Bella's head.
"Ello" said Bella immediately woke up from Marsel's chest, her originally radiant face turning grim.
"Why" Marsel woke up.
"If I have given birth later, surely I'm not slim anymore, my stomach saggy, and I can't be a model anymore" she said.
"How many times have I told Bella, I don't let you be a model anymore, you focus on our child, giving it exclusive, don't have to think about it, I can meet the needs of our family" said Marsel.
"Can't be so Ello, it's not a problem you can guarantee my needs, but being a model is my world, my ideals," Bella won't lose.
"Here is Bella, bury your dreams your world is now different, I am your husband so I have the decision," Marsel kissed Bella on the forehead.
"But Ello" whined Bella.
"Please Bella. Don't ruin our happy moments" Marsel grabbed Bella's body. Bella eventually relented. Until they both don't miss their hot nights.
Flashback.
"After you are born, Mommy will follow Papa Nak's advice, we will live happily and will not leave you." Bella talks to the baby in her body.
Tok to tok.
The knocking of the door blew Bella's daydream. "Papa and Sister come, son, we're not the door" Bella excitedly walked out holding her belly a radiant, happy face that was bursting.
