Turns out I Love You

Jhon Fainted

The deg...!

"Hasna..!" lirih Bella was at the end of the stairs hearing every word from her daughter's lips.

Hasna ran to her mother holding her hand tightly. "Ma, tell Om that I don't want a father who doesn't want me!"

"Darling, why are you talking like that, son?" Bella squatted her body with Hasna.

"So, when Mama came home crying I had heard the talk of Mama and Grandma. Mama said, why was she present when everything improved. She used to reject Mama and my presence, but now, she's back to making Mama cry again."

"That means Dad doesn't want Mama and I to be around him right? I also don't want her to be around me if it just makes Mama sad. I'd rather not have a father like him than have Mama's heart cut back!" I don't know why Hasna is so clever at summing up every word. The little girl seemed to understand about the state of her mother.

Bella hugged her daughter, stroking her back to calm the child not to grieve. "So my son heard everything?" inner Bella.

As Nando grew claustrophobic, he even shed tears of regret at hearing Hasna's rejection. " Is this karma to me? when I wanted to fix it, they rejected my existence. I rejected Bella's pregnancy and now, my daughter Hasna is denying me. God, is this sick when someone we love refuses?" inner Nando.

The thunderstorm outside felt their pain. The once bright nature suddenly clouded to watch them.

"Hasna went in with Grandma, yeah! Mama wants to talk to your dad."

"He's not my father!" reject Hasna and run straight to her room.

Elsa patted his daughter's shoulder. "Solve your problems! Hasna let Mama take care of." Bella nodded.

"You listen, Hasna rejects you. And you're not his father. So please now you're out of our lives! Please let us be happy without you!"

"I won't leave until you forgive me, Hasna my son, Bella. I want to fix everything with you, with our son."

"After all these years you just want to fix it? where did you feel when I begged you to hold you accountable? you rejected me and my son. So now, you leave here because I don't want you to be here!" Bella walks over to Nando to kick him out and her feet stumble over the table.

"Bella...!" Nando immediately caught Bella.

Bella fingered the table and pulled Nando's hand carrying her out. "I beg you to go!" bella's eyes are watering.

"No, Bel. I'm not leaving until you forgive me."

"Go, Jhon! Please go...!" Bella pushes Nando's body out of the house and closes the door.

"I'll stay here until you forgive me, Bella. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry" shouted Nando standing under the rain.

"I don't care! For me you are gone, Jhon," replied Bella from the inside. Bella's heart ached saying such a thing, in her little heart still embedded love for the man who had hurt her too deeply.

It had been an hour Nando waited in front of Bella's house, his body was already shivering with coldness, his face and lips were already pale. But Nando did not intend to leave there, he wanted to fight to get sorry from Bella.

Elsa always peeked behind the window, she was worried about Nando's condition. She approached Bella who was in her room.

"Bel, don't you feel sorry for Nando? he's still holding out under the rain waiting for you to come out." Elsa rubbed her daughter's head lying asleep but reluctantly closed her eyes.

"Just let it go, Mah. He himself wants to hang in there."

"Find him first, son. Poor thing, however he is Hasna's father."

Bella gave her a rough breath, she got out of the bed and approached where Nando was.

Using a cane and an umbrella, he walked to gently beat Nando's foot using a cane.

"Bella, I'm sorry ma." Her lips twitched, she could no longer resist the dizziness and cold that had lingered on her body and Nando collapsed in front of Bella.

"Jhon..!" Bella wiggles Jhon's body with a stick. "What's the matter, Jhon?" He became panicked.

"Mama please...!" bella called her mother.

Calista continued to pacing worrying about the brother who had not come home even though the clock had shown at 10 pm. He continued to look outside hoping the rain would soon subside.

"Where are you, brother? where's the rain again?" murmured Calista worried.

His phone rang, he picked it up. "Hello, Brother Bella."

"Hello, Calista, you come quickly! Your brother passed out in front of the house!"

"Yes, yes, I'll be there right now!" Calista panicked, and he immediately took the car keys to Bella's house.

"Oh my God, I hope my brother doesn't do anything."

****

"Calista will be here soon, Ma." Unable to lie, Bella's face looks very worried and panicked. Elsa can see that her daughter still has feelings for Nando.

"Bella, I'm sorry," Nando murmured shivering coldly, but his eyes closed.

"Jhon," Bella fingered Nando's forehead. "Oh my God, he's so hot, Mah."

"See, Mama's got some warm water to compress him." Elsa goes to the kitchen to get some warm water.

Before long Elsa had returned with a bowl of water and a rag.

"It's just me, Mah. She's like this because of me." The mother-of-one woman regretted her overly selfish attitude of letting Nando outside in the rain.

Bella dipped her cloth, squeezed it, and pressed it against Nando's forehead.

"Cold...Bella I'm sorry." Nando continued muttering apologetically despite being unconscious.

Bella's heart felt touched by what Nando had done to apologize from her. But, he still could not accept Nando.

****

Calista had finished examining Nando and wrote down a prescription for the medicine for his sister. "His temperature was very high, he fainted due to the rain and the result of his stomach being empty." Obviously Calista looked at his brother pity.

Bella who stood down was sad, "I'm sorry, because I'm your brother so like this."

Calista looked up and rubbed Bella's hand. "It's not your fault, he himself wanted to apologize to you. He must be like this because he regrets that he hurt you. I'm sorry for my brother's treatment of you."

"Calista.I..."

"I know it all, Hasna is my niece and my sister's son. We've done DNA tests and the results match. I understand why you don't forgive my brother so easily, it must be too deep of an injury and I won't force you to forgive him. Teach her a lesson so she understands what you and Hasna mean to her!" Calista won't defend her brother, she'll let Bella do anything to test him.

Seriate....
