The distinctive aroma of warm tea served with some fresh bread filled the entire room that morning.
Satya is currently standing on the balcony of the room while staring at the morning scenery in silence. Previously, Satya thought that she no longer needed to find out anything about Luna, the woman who decided to end it all. Until the phone call he received at exactly six this morning raised a question that he did not want to find the answer again filled his head.
It felt like Satya was running when it also left all this behind just to find that answer.
"I want you to set everything up, Vin. I believe you can complete all the responsibilities I've given you as soon as possible. You just need to arrange some business trips."
Satya turned her head as Bella who had just finished changing clothes was walking towards the dining table. The woman even stared back at Satya for a few seconds, smiling faintly. Before Bella finally brews a cup of warm tea that has been on the table since a few minutes ago.
"I don't want you to interfere this time, Satya. You agreed to do it, what else is going to happen, huh?" ask a person named Alvin, who is currently chatting with Satya via a mobile connection.
Again and again Satya could only exhale tiredly. He was a bit upset that Alvin asked him too much. His friend and confidant should be silent and follow all his orders.
"Satya?"
A call from the back made Satya a tremendous shock. Because it also makes the phone in the hand of his hand almost fell.
Satya had no idea since when Bella walked towards him. Just a moment ago, he was sure the woman was still busy enjoying her tea inside there.
While Bella herself was also a little stunned, not expecting Satya to react like that just because Bella called her name. Is Satya scared because Bella almost heard what she was talking about on the phone?
"What's wrong?" ask Satya in a flat tone. And quickly his hand touched the red button on the touch screen of his phone.
Bella is not sure what she is thinking, but Satya seems to be hiding something. Like a criminal who was almost caught. But what exactly is Satya hiding?
"Your mother just called, she asked us to come by my parents' house this afternoon."
Drrrttt~
Once again Satya's phone rang, making the man did not have time to reply to Bella's sentence. While the woman frowned more and more to see Satya's behavior that seemed ambiguous.
However, what was unexpected by the man, Bella had caught the name on the screen of the phone that was still in her grasp, Alvin.
Satya only stared at Bella briefly before finally walking away leaving Bella who was still staring at the departure of Satya who had now picked up her phone from behind the glass.
For some reason, the man was acting a little strange this morning. Unlike last night when the man made a promise to make their marriage real. And Bella was sure last night they were still okay. Then what's up this time?
It's not like they're trying to have the wedding they should, like the man wanted last night. Their relationship did not seem like it would go in a better direction.
A few minutes later, Satya walked back to the balcony after turning off her phone. While Bella is still standing and waiting for an answer from what a few minutes ago she told Satya about going to her parents' house this afternoon.
"I'm sorry, Bel! There are some problems in the office. So, it seems like I can't accompany you to visit your home with my current thoughts. You know, I don't want to seem forced to go there just because of my mother's request. The situation would be very uncomfortable if I were to meet my in-laws with this kind of mind-bending fear."
Bella actually felt a bit disappointed, not because Satya could not accompany her to visit her parents' house. After all it can be done anytime when Satya feels better and ready to meet his father and mother.
But Bella is disappointed that Satya is lying to her. Actually, Bella herself is not sure if this is just her feelings or the fact that the man is telling the truth. It's just that everything feels different today.
Satya who spoke last night with him and this morning like two people who are no longer the same.
In Bella's mind, the man should not have to hide anything from her, what else if it is true that the phone is only a matter of work.
What is Satya afraid of about the conversation between two co-workers so she has to stay away from him to pick up the phone? Why does he look like he's avoiding something?
Not wanting to prolong the debate in the morning, Bella prefers to keep her own curiosity. If indeed the man had intended not to hide anything from him, Satya would have been honest with him. But it seems, Satya has never been serious about what she said last night about making their marriage real.
"I can understand, Satya. We can visit anytime if you have time. I'll let my mom know we can't go there today. You don't have to think about it, Sat."
Bella said the sentence in a flat tone with no expression. Let the man know that Bella is really upset right now. Upset at Satya's weirdness today.
Satya herself could only sigh heavily again. She felt guilty for lying to Bella. He should not have broken his promise this easily. While only last night he promised a real marriage for Bella, but why he was impressed to have forgotten all his sentences last night.
He did not know that it turned out that he was still easily swayed just by hearing the news of Luna. Yes, the news he heard this morning was indeed about Luna, that is what made his mind confused as now.
Somehow Luna's departure on their wedding day did not make her realize that she had long since turned away from him. That she had never considered herself and her relationship for years. Wh why?
Long Satya looked at Bella in a fixed gaze, while the woman also looked back at her. Both of them seem to be caught in the sight of each other.
Until then a sentence slid from Satya's lips that made the two shocked simultaneously.
"Bella, can I hold you?"
The deg!
