“Satya goes to take care of his business and you believe it just like that?”
Bella frowned. “Why should he lie to me?"
“Of course because you're his wife, Bel. You decided on Rayhan and chose to focus on your marriage. Are you sure of your decision? I mean, Satya could've made a different decision with you."
Bella understood a little about what her best friend wanted to say. He certainly understands that Joy is definitely worried about the decision that Bella will make about her life. But how else, when he decided Rayhan, at that time he believed in the sentence Satya who said would make their marriage real.
So plain? Yeah, maybe!
“Satya says that she will also focus on this marriage. At least, that's what he told me the first night we got married.”
Joy sipped her drink again, before continuing to ask, "Alright. Then, where is the country Satya visited this week?”
Bella looked thoughtful and unsuspecting she again said, “London maybe. I don't remember for sure, but I don't think my hearing was wrong. So Satya never told me, but I heard from some waitresses, which country she went to.”
Without answering Bella's words, this time Joy grabbed the phone that had been placed on the table. She was busy fiddling with her phone like she was looking for something and a smile that looked so cynical was drawn from Joy's lips.
“London. I see,” Joy shows her a modelling chat group. One of the members is Luna. “The woman is currently also in London, Bel. Some time ago, I heard Luna signed her first contract with one of the famous agencies there. Don't you think this is a coincidence?"
To be honest there was a pinch in Bella's heart hearing the truth that Joy showed. But he tried to look strong in front of his best friend. “Is it possible that he is currently lying to me to meet his ex-girlfriend?"
Joy sniffed her shoulders, then looked back at her best friend's face in a fixed gaze. “You know, I don't want to draw any conclusions, but you also have to remember that the man could have been dishonest to you. Maybe he doesn't love you and he thinks you might not. Anything can always happen, Bel.”
Bella is still trying to think positively about whatever Satya is doing out there. "I'm sure Satya has a reason."
"I'm not accusing him, Bella. I just wanted to make sure if Satya would seriously end her relationship with her ex-boyfriend or not. And will really focus on your marriage. Oh yes, I will ask one more thing, what since you guys got married, has she ever—“ Before continuing her sentence, Joy approached and whispered in Bella's ear. “Touching you? I mean touching in another sense?”
“Are you crazy, Joy?” cut Bella pissed. “Which is probably both of us doing. You know, he and I both love other people and I've never done that before with anyone. Do you think it's easy?”
"Well, that's the problem, Bella. You should know Satya's ex-boyfriend is a pro in his field. Satya is a grown man! Come on, don't think too innocently. Aren't you afraid Satya's back looking for that warmth on Luna? After all, you're his wife. Is something wrong?”
"Come, Joy. For now, I'll just try to trust Satya" Bela said. Although he was also not so sure of the thing he had just said.
Joy rolled her eyes in annoyance because Bella who seemed so innocent. "I told you, I didn't accuse him at all. You just have to remember that he's a man and his ex-girlfriend is no ordinary woman. Are you sure that woman will let you and Satya be happy just like that?"
“But it was he who left Satya."
“Well, but that's no reason to prevent her from coming back, Bella.” Joy patted the back of Bella's hand that was in her grasp.
“I just reminded you. You know, I know Satya's world and her lover better than you. You could say we are in almost the same living environment. So much different from you, you're a nice and simple woman. I'm not saying that Satya, me or Luna are bad people, but still our lives are darker than you thought. We do a lot of parties and games, we even spend a lot of time working and having fun. There are some things you might not understand about Satya's world."
Bella knew Joy's life was different. According to him, the life that Joy lived was very free and contrary to the life that Bella lived all this time. Not only a matter of social status, the environment and social relationships are much different. Ordinary women like Bella probably won't understand the life of Joy or the other guys out there.
Hearing Joy's true words, Bella just nodded. It would not hurt if he heard what his best friend said. However, Joy only gives him a warning to be more careful of Satya's ex-lover who can come back at any time, and snatch Satya from him.
“Then, I have to how, Joy?”
Instead of trying to scare Bella about the free life that Satya and Luna have, Joy just tries to tell Bella not to be that innocent in responding to her relationship. Joy had always hoped that Bella would be endowed with a lot of affection from the people around her, and she did not want to see her best friend until she was sad and disappointed. Therefore, he warned from the beginning to always be vigilant. Because anything can happen, without measure.
"It's all happened, Bel. If you're so hard off leaving Rayhan to keep your marriage and Satya going, you should also act like a real wife. You both have to act like husband and wife in public or when you're just the two of you. You understand not what I mean?”
Bella of course understood what Joy meant, but still she felt strange if she had to do the ‘it' thing with Satya. And also, does the man want to do the ‘it' thing with him, or not? Wouldn't it be very embarrassing if Bella offered herself, but it turns out Satya rejected it raw. Wouldn't that be so embarrassing? Instantly Bella shuddered in horror at the thought.
“Tapi—“
“Do not give the woman a gap to return. You know, maintaining a marriage is not easy. You used to put a taste in him, unlike Satya who can't be guessed. He may love you, but he may not. So, the only way you have to make him love you. Make her make you the only woman in her life. Make him unable to live without you. You'll understand, there's one thing you can give Satya, but it can't give her.”
“What is it?”
"You'll find the answer yourself, Bel. So make sure you prepare yourself well when Satya returns from her business trip.”
