"didn't you pick up Bella yesterday, did you??" asked Merry.
"oh yes Auntie", replied Brayen nodding.
"go by here often if you have time" said Merry smiling.
"can I aunt???I was afraid that my presence was causing trouble for Bella!!", Brayen said.
As Merry was about to answer, the sound of Jhosua's motorbike came from outside.
"Assalamualaikum!!", said Jhosua entering the house.
"Waalaikumsallam!!", replied those in the living room.
Jhosua and Brayen looked at each other but only for a moment, because Jhosua who now turned to look at the wife who did not seem to welcome his return in the slightest.
"Have you reached Bell??" asked Jhosua.
"Already Mas, oh yes know this Brayen my coworker!!", said Bella who instead introduced Brayen to her husband.
"Brayen!!
"Jhoshua!!", the two shook hands.
"I'll excuse you!!", said Jhosua, leaving the three men behind.
Merry who noticed Jhosua only snorted in annoyance.
"Then I say I go home first" Brayen said.
"Why so fast???we haven't even talked much!?", replied Merry who seemed to like the closeness of the man with his daughter.
"Next time I come here again Tan, not good with Bella's husband she must be waiting for Bella!!", replied Brayen.
"You be careful, Bray!!!" said Bella.
"Yes" Brayen replied, winking one eye made Bella ashamed of her blushing cheeks.
He is like a teenager who has just fallen in love.
Bella went into her room and found her husband holding a laptop.
"Who is that man??" asked Jhosua.
"My coworker!!", replied Bella and went into the bathroom.
Jhosua sighed softly looking at his wife's attitude.
Jhosua turned off his laptop as soon as he finished working on his report.At this time he is carrying out his duties as deputy director at home.Checking every report that comes in through his email.
While putting his laptop down, Jhosua accidentally saw a white plastic bottle under their bed.
"What is this??" he murmured.
Instantly his face turned sharp, clenching his hands held back emotions.
Bella came out of the bathroom with a face that looked fresher.She had not noticed the sharp gaze of her husband.
"What are you hiding from me Bell?" asked Jhosua staring intently.
"What are you talking about??? hiding What??", asked Bella who was immediately nervous to see her husband's gaze.
"Are you sure you didn't hide anything all this time??" asked Jhosua walking over to his wife.
"I don't understand what you're talking about Mas!!", replied Bella who was getting nervous.
She wondered if her husband knew of her affair with Brayen.
"What is this?" asked Jhosua, showing him the bottle he had.
Instantly Bella's face changed pias, her eyes glared at her carelessness.
"I accidentally found this under the bed!!
"Are you deliberately taking this Pill???
"Aren't you willing to conceive my son Bella???" asked Jhosua, who was very disappointed by his wife's actions.
"It's not so Mas, I'm not ready to have children because that's why I drink it!!", replied Bella.
"Ck!!why Bell??why were you not honest from the beginning???
"Right now I'm like a stupid man expecting a child from you!!and it turns out that you yourself are blocking the child from existing!!!", revealed Jhosua, he was really disappointed with his current wife.
"You know my profession!! having children is not easy, I have signed a contract, as long as the contract lasts I am not allowed to get pregnant!!", Bella replied in self-defense.
Jhosua stared fixedly at Bella's face, there was no regret in those eyes.It is true that Bella has changed, She is not the Bella she used to know.
"All right!!!now I want to ask!!
"What does this marriage mean to you now??" asked Jhosua, who is currently sitting on the side of his bed, his face is not as sharp as before.
Bella does not know what to answer, she is currently really confused by the marriage she is living now.
"I don't know!!
"Honestly I'm comfortable with my current profession, and you've always been against it!!", said Bella who now blames Jhosua instead.
"I'm not against your job Bell!!it's just that since your career has gone up, your offers are everywhere!!you change, you begin to forget your duties as a wife, I feel unappreciated as a husband.
"In addition to your mother who always insulted me every day!!what the hell are you doing???you just shut up Bell!!!
"I'm like a human being who has no pride in himself in front of you, all this time I held him back because I knew he was my in-law, a person I should respect regardless of where he treated me!!And I appreciate it because she's the mother of my own wife.
"Maybe I'm not a rich man who can fulfill your every wish!!!but every time I give you what you want, you always refuse!!
"Want I should how else Bell???Do I have to be rich first so you can appreciate me??" asked Jhosua who made Bella speechless to hear.
Deep in his heart still wants to fix everything, but He is not sure of all this.His mother always demands of him to leave Jhosua, plus now he is trapped in his love Brayen.
"Well Bell, maybe now you want to calm down, I'll wait for your answer, do I still mean anything to you or not??
"If you have found the answer tell me!!", said Jhosua moving from the bed to the bathroom.
Bella stared at her husband's back which was slowly missing behind the bathroom door.
"forgive Me Mas, at this moment I am completely confused by my own feelings", Bella said laying down her body on the bed.
In the bathroom, Joshua stared at his reflection in the mirror.
"Do you not love me anymore, Bella??" muttered Jhosua.
Jhosua flushed under the shower, hoping for the anger and disappointment he felt as he drifted away with the water flowing from above his body.
A week passed the relationship between the two still not improved, but,it was actually used by Merry to further aggressively separate them.Bella's relationship with Brayen was still continuing until now.It was not known by Jhosua.They are still good at storing it.
"Baby??how's your relationship with the doctor now??" asked Brayen, tucking Bella's hair behind her ear.
"Still the same, Joshua is still silent to me!!", replied Bella.
He is now completely blind to the love given by Brayen.His second relationship is getting wild like a married couple.
***
Jhosua came home from the hospital with his tired face.Not only physically tired but also heart.Currently he intends to invite Bella to chat from heart to heart, trying to improve their relationship.
"Bella!!!can we talk??" asked Jhosua as he entered the room.
Bella, who was texting Brayen, immediately saved her phone and looked at her husband's face.
"What do you want to talk about????
