The Twins Forbidden Love: Nathan And Nathalia

Chapter 18

" Dear, what are you doing here?" Lauren asked when she saw Nathalia in the kitchen.

" I'm just cooking." Pekik Nathalia.

Lauren smiled then immediately helped Nathalia.

Lauren thinks maybe this is one of the ways Nathalia comforts herself when she faces problems.

" Mom..."

" Yes?"

" Can I ask you something?"

" Of course, tell me what you want to ask."

" How can Momy survive a situation where momy has to be a single parent and face reality that does not go as expected."

" Bitter sweet life sometimes provides valuable lessons for us to be used as reflection and introspection. Because, the journey of life can not be separated from a variety of problems with a million different tastes."

" How hard life's trials are, of course, always hold a valuable message. For example, a valuable message about the meaning of patience, the meaning of sincerity, togetherness, or love and friendship. But sometimes the bitter journey of life can make you feel less eager to live life."

" Is there any other problem you're facing besides the one at the office?" Lauren asked with a heart.

Nathalia breathed a long sigh before she finally decided to tell Lauren about her relationship with Bella.

Nathalia was already trying to remember when and what made the distance present in their midst.

" Son, sometimes life after college is far from peaceful and happy. There are a lot of surprises in it. Maybe Bella also has other problems that she can't do on her own that impact on your friendship."

" It feels hard to try to stay strong even though life does not give you the hope you want. However, constantly lamenting the bitter life is not the best solution. This is when you need encouragement and motivation."

Natalia is silent, Bella who now looks like she's not the Bella she's ever known.

Bella now avoids him more often. Though in the past they always solve problems together, as heavy and complicated as any problems they still remain together.

And now, it was as if there was a spark deliberately lit in the middle of them.

" The bitter sweetness of life becomes two things that humans cannot avoid. Because, although sometimes it feels hard to deal with it, the bitterness of life also provides valuable lessons." Lauren said while holding Nathalia's hand.

Natalia smiled, there was a feeling of relief in her heart.

"I will permeate all the meaning behind the bitter story that God gave me and I will teach you a lesson toward a better future."

" That's the spirit of my mother's daughter." Lauren Said.

"Momy has felt all the bitterness in life and the most bitter thing is to hope in people. Like you, never expect too much that Bella will be nice to you. You better hope in God. The heart-reversing."

Nathalia confirmed what her mother had said.

" Whatever perfect coffee you make, coffee is still coffee, which has a bitter side that you will not be able to hide. Just like the world of friendship. No matter how much you try to assume that you're okay, you really can't stop what's going on between you."

" Bella is now really another Bella. I sometimes feel like the real Bella is somewhere and under hypnotic influence."

" Why?" Ask Lauren.

" Yes because Bella who is now more of a person who is very temperamental and likes to take out painful words, plus the word was created for me. It was as if I had taken something precious from him."

"Patience when bullied is bitter in taste. But sometimes it's the bitter ones that can heal the wounds."

" But Mom I really can't. I want to go straight to Bella and fix things. But Bella always avoids me."

"The journey of life is a process of relentless struggle, sprinkled with dreams, filled with determination, declared with courage to act!"

"Life is not about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself. Now go get ready and you'll be late for the office." Screeched Lauren.

Don't forget he checked his phone again where he knew there was a call or message from Nathan.

Ah Natalia's...

Ii'm sorry..

It turned out that I was still too weak to take me away from this valley...

But I promise, I will fight so that I can meet you soon and end the pain of this longing....

Outside the operating room door, Mama was crying in her husband's arms.

" Mom should have been able to hold back when Nathan asked to speak to Nathalia pa..."

" If you could just keep Nathan waiting, maybe Nathan would be fine."

" Mama don't have to worry. Nathan is a strong boy. The spirit to heal is so great that we must remain calm and pray for Nathan's recovery."

The two husbands and wives hugged each other as if giving each other strength.

" Hey are you still thinking about Bella?" Ketus Olaf when he saw Natalia daydreaming.

" No, actually I miss Nathan a lot."

" Oh come on. I'm not a kid you can lie to." Screeched Olaf.

Natalia then tells about herself who is trying to improve things and straighten out about the misunderstanding that might occur between herself and Bella. But it didn't end well.

" Even if you feel sad, never despair. And even if you fall, never be broken. Keep looking strong even if you're fragile."

"Life is a journey. The choice of vehicles and roads to be passed is available. The steering of life is in your hands. So don't stop walking just because of one person's problem."

" Bella is my best friend. We used to be very close."

"Life is a journey from process to process, and a process that comes from action not thought."

"Don't linger. Do what is clearly good for you, even if it is bitter at first."

Nathalia hit Olaf on the head with the maps she was carrying.

" Swise enough." Screeched Natalia while getting up from her seat because she had finished eating.

"I'm right. Life is a journey, a journey is an experience and experience is a learning process."

" Yes yes, I must admit that you are the best motivator I know." Nathalia said as she pulled up Olaf's arm and invited him back to the office.

How hard life is lived, it will feel light if we face it with sincerity and patience. This is what makes all the problems of life a way to help you be more mature and stronger in all situations.

And once again Olaf was able to change Nathalia's mood for the better. Nathalia and Olaf were joking with laughter as they entered the office. And when they cross paths with Bella.

Nathalia smile. But Bella...

He just left.
