THE THIRD WIFE

CHAPTER 37 THE CHILD'S WINDFALL

Bella finally passed the standard of teacher search at Mahendra international school. Now he's coming for the last selection at school. The event was held in a closed field at Mahendra's school.

Bella was so enthusiastic that she had to bring the baby. The selection was supervised directly by the school owner, Ardan Mahendra, and the child who is now the head of his school foundation, Devan Mahendra. And several teachers involved.

Bella sat among the other participants while holding the child. They were all filling out the test sheet before going into the next round. Bella is a little troubled because the child starts to fuss a little, probably because of the large number of people around and the new environment.

Ardan, the school owner who sees Bella, signals Devan to help Bella.

Devan walked over to Bella. Bella was so nervous, scared when someone stepped towards her. The child was so annoying, he thought.

“Sorry, Mom. Do you need any help? ” ask Devan slowly. Bella looks up at a glance smiling thinly and justifies Rayhan's position.

“No, Sir. Sorry my son is a little fussy.”

Devan smiles and takes Reyhan from Bella's lap. Devan glimpsed Bella's name on her test paper as well as her age.

“Let your child be with me. You work the test quietly.”

“But, Sir!” hesitated'.

“It's okay.” Devan smiles and brings Reyhan to join the Papa.

Bella keeps seeing Reyhan, she worries Reyhan is crying. But instead Reyhan laughed in Devan's arms. Especially when Devan asks him to joke.

Bella was relieved and continued to fill her tests and occasionally looked at the child. Ardan knew Bella was worried, so he walked up to her and stood in the shampoo, Bella Ming.

Ardan stood up while folding his hands and as if not looking at Bella. Ardan was standing right next to Bella's desk.

“No need to worry, your child is safe.” Ardan saw Bella at a glance as well as Bella, Bella nodded politely and then continued to complete the test.

Time continues until the test ends and continues at the next test. Bella follows quietly as the child sleeps in Devan's arms.

Finally the test is completed and the announcement of anyone who received will be announced immediately. Because the school does not want to delay, considering that many participants are from outside the area, so as not to go back and forth. Before the announcement began, the school gave permission to rest for all participants. It just so happened that the test was held on Sunday so as not to interfere with school lesson hours.

During the break Bella approached Devan who was standing near the entrance to pick up her son.

“Excuse me, Sir. Sorry.” Bella politely asks Reyhan from Devan's sling.

“Oh, yes. Your son is cute and adorable.”

“Iya, sir. thank you.”

“No one is taking care of your child? Until you bring it. His father is not coming.”

Bella just smiled awkwardly and shook her head while confirming her sling.

“He works? Why not put brother, let you also calm down?” ask Devan again. Devan wonders why Bella brought her young son.

“Eum .. I .. my single parent. I don't have anyone here. My husband is with his wife.”

“Ah .. eum ... Sorry for making you not nyamam.”

Initially Bella had trouble finding the existence of the canteen because the school was so big and other participants had already taken a break. Finally he could only see the signboard.

Bella ordered rice and soto only. Because he brought his own drinking water and his money was mediocre so he only ordered food according to the contents of his wallet.

“Sleep first yes, Son. Mother eat first. Your turn nyusu.” Bella then ate it with her heart. He was so hungry because he was never late to eat and was two hours late.

From a distance Devan saw Bella, he could not understand why the young woman was so persistent coming from outside the city of Jakarta. Ardan the papa saw Devan watching Bella approach him.

“You know him?”

"Son, Pa! Just salute the struggle to willingly go all the way from Bogor bring a child just to take the test here.”

Ardan smiled faintly and put both his hands into his pants pocket and looked at Bella.

“She's Alex Felix Gunawan's third wife. Everyone knows his story. But here Papa doesn't want to take care of personal matters. If he is competent and in accordance with our School. Papa will recruit him as an SD or Playground teacher here. What's more it seems like she doesn't have a babysitter for her baby. So it fits, right if later escaped, Papa will place him in the toddler school playground, let him always be with his son.”

"Why does Papa have such thoughts?”

"Because the boy needs his mother and you know he has no one.”

"Oh ... Devan understands Pa,” replies Devan, Ardan pats Devan on the shoulder.

“Yes already, your wife and Mama you have come bring lunch.” The two rushed to his room because, Neha, the Mama and his wife, Bella also came. Coincidentally Devan's wife's name is also Bella.

Bella finished eating in the cafeteria. she went to the toilet to replace her son's popo, because Reyhan was a little fussy. After finishing Bella takes her son out and takes him to the kindergarten so that the child is not fussy. Bella sits on the swing cradling and nursing Reyhan. Bella chose the park because not so many people saw it.

Bella sings laughing with the child who is breastfeeding. He was so happy when he saw his son smiling.

“Mother's Prayers Yes, Son.Mothers may be accepted at this elite school. We will move to Jakarta. We're behind this school. Let's not far away Mom went to school and hopefully with this Mom can buy you clothes, toys. Let's not wear someone else's clothes. Whatever Mother will do let you be well-sufficient. Yes, Nak!” Bella kisses the child's cheek.

Bella smiled as did the child. Bella rubs Reyhan's hair. Before long a voice was heard telling if the announcement would start and all participants should be reunited in the closed field. Bella rushes to carry her baby and carries her luggage.

Bella kept walking towards the field of intent. Nervous, curious as to whether he was accepted or not. Bella sat in her seat a little behind and still held Reyhan.

“For all participants whose number is 30 people. has everyone gathered?” one of the teachers involved.

"Already, Sir!” reply them simultaneously.

“Alright to shorten the time. because this also already wants by late afternoon. So just go straight. Only 7 will be selected. So the unelected apologize and thank you for trying to give your best. But in Mahendra international school memamg really is looking for a teacher or someone who is competent in his field. The unselected please do not be discouraged.”

Bella grew nervous and anxious but all she gave to God if elected she considered the fortune of the child. Bella kept praying in her heart that she might be accepted.

“Which I call his name, please forward yes.”

“Bapak Regi, Ibu Marwa, Ibu Ayu, Ibu Dona, Mr. Hendrawan, Mr. Simon, the last Ms. Isabella from Bogor.“

Bella bowed in gratitude, her mother was so moved like the others. Didn't think he would escape. Bella bangit then came forward.
