Heart Darkness
Chapter 129 Oops, Broken Again ....


"Look, I don't think I can give up on you."


Hansel Adelio forced a meeting and when Maribella refused, the man came to the house. Hansel won't leave before he knows the reason why they ended the date sooner. Maribella's decision yesterday did not make her satisfied quickly.


"I know I may not be perfect, Maribella. But we haven't even started trying."


Hansel cupped Maribella's tiny fingers drooping on the table.


Maribella observed that the hand felt very strange. Without offending Hansel, Maribella pulls her hand slowly and hides it on her lap. Unlike when Abner touched it, it felt natural and felt right. Abner's touch made him feel comfortable and wanted to stay with the man.


"Hansel .. "said Maribella looked at Hansel Adelio and said, "I don't think I want to be in a relationship in the near future with anyone. I'm sorry and I beg you to understand me."


They faced off at a cafe on the crossroad to Broken Boulivard. Hansel looked at Maribella expectantly. He saw Maribella for the first time when Maribella enrolled as her student in a pastry class. Maribella is so agile and deft, so shrewd among the pantry. Apart from that, Hansel falls in love with Maribella's delicate and delicate eyes. Women are like puff cream, smooth and sweet. Maribella is also like a delicious dessert topping, icing sugar and chocolatier, very, very evocative to her heart.


"Did Mr Abner hurt you?" hansel asked hesitantly observing Maribella looking sad and tired. "You look like Bolu failed because he lacked an oval when you think of Mr. Abner. Doesn't your food satisfy Mr Abner?" Hansel teases Maribella to smile.


The joke managed to make Maribella's lips curl a little. Maribella only knew her feelings had not been up to 72 hours and she felt pain during that time. So, Maribella decided not to have a serious relationship. However, talking about Abner with Hansel is not wise. After all, Hansel is still a stranger and Abner is his family.


"No, I just feel really annoyed with a relationship. I need time to recover myself." Maribella thinks she should give her brain a pause to think and give the heart time to recover. The point is that he wants to clear himself.


"All right, can we be friends?" asked Hansel to hope.


"Of course," replied Maribella smiling widely. "It's nice to meet you, Mr. Hansel Adelio."


Hansel nodded his smile back while the day began to darken. Maribella must go home soon because she has to prepare dinner. He'll start teaching Natalea, Augusto's wife, cooking. At the same time, he wanted to avoid the house. However, she will be very tormented if away from Marya who is pregnant young and Reinha who is sad left by her husband.


"You know, I want you to meet my family, especially my mother. I told him about your cooking skills and he was so impressed. Join us for the Maribella weekend. My sisters are visiting from out of town and I'm happy if you can accompany me later."


Maribella looked at Hansel who kept hoping for her. Hansel looks very loving to women. If Hansel is willing to wait for her heart to heal, Maribella hopes she might find herself wanting to be with Hansel. However, he could not express the desire for Hansel to wait for him. He didn't want Hansel to have much hope.


"I'm very flattered. If I'm not lost, I'll come with you, Hansel. But promise me you can't think of me as more than your friend. I don't want any special relationship right now."


"I understand Maribella. You need to recover yourself," Hansel added, smiling, repeating Maribella's statement. "It's almost dark today, can I take you home?"


The two men were seen conversing in a familiar manner unaware of Elgio Durante's car returning home, stopping at an intersection constrained by red lights. Elgio's sharp eyes catch Maribella sitting with Hansel in a cafe.


"I saw a very nice sight this afternoon, Maribella we're with Hansel Adelio at the cafe. They looked very close and harmonious" said Elgio, nodding at the cafe. Abner spontaneously turned to follow Elgio Durante's nod and sighed exasperatedly, holding his nape and then looking back at Maribella who seemed to smile broadly at Hansel.


"You know Abner .., this morning ..., Maribella went to your apartment. He left us for breakfast with you."


"Yes, we made a pact to start dating" said Abner.


"Then? He came back very quickly and looked sad, Abner! Are you with Luna?" Elgio guessed and when Abner just held the steering wheel tightly, Elgio clucked. "Oh my God, I can't believe you're so playboy."


"Just keep fishing Elgio, set your bait and roll your fishing rod, you almost caught a red shark" Abner said riled. "You keep assuming, having an opinion about me, that's very disturbing because no one's right, boy!"


"That's because you're like a man I don't know, Abner. You've been in love and dating for a few days now, I've noticed you're like a different man and no longer my best friend. You're turning rude, grumpy and explosive. You need a neurologist" Elgio's tirade sounded half mocking.


"Stop!"


"Tell me, what happened, I can help you Abner Luiz!" urged Elgio when he looked at Abner getting grim when he found Hansel holding Maribella's hand.


"Luna was drunk and came to my apartment. We didn't sleep together! For God's sake, I just want to be with Maribella. But it looks like Maribella saw Luna this morning and Luna provoked Maribella. The woman went to my room while I was taking a shower, stole my shirt, looked sexy and I'm sure she rubbed lipstick on her thigh to make Maribella think I did it with Luna. Your innocent Maribella swallowed a round of Luna's bait. Guess what happens next? Just like this afternoon. I'm sure Luna deliberately did something not-so-no for Maribella to see us making out."


Abner spoke impassively and he seemed to want to explode with depression.


Elgio gave up on the man beside him. "I hope you don't hurt Maribella. You know that you'll be taken by Marya and Enya when you do that. I can't imagine what's gonna happen to you."


"I can't be with Maribella if her trust in me is as thin as wet paper. Leave it for now. If, I force the will, I might hurt him."


"So, are you gonna let Maribella go with Hansel?" elgio's question sounds more like an attack.


The red light was almost over and Maribella came out of the cafe. Hansel seemed to be faithfully stepping by his side, leading the woman to the car, opening the car door with a bright smile.


Are they dating again? Are they not separated?


Abner breathed in increasingly frustrated roughness.


The red light ended and Abner gasped as if he didn't want to see the scene just now.


"Abner, I don't think Maribella wants Luna's competition. He might give up on you. Please, why am I an observer of love and an advisor to both my guardians? You're not as handsome as I am but you dare to act a lot!"


"If you can't help me, shut up Elgio Durante! You know I'm mourning for my dying heart."


Elgio smiled sadly for Abner. "I hope you find a way to bring our Maribella back. You know, Maribella is very mature and mature in thinking. I think he'll choose comfort over love. Mature women mostly do not pursue love because they are very, very loving - respecting themselves and going with someone who is also very respectful of their person. This is not what I said Abner, it's based on research. I saw Hansel do it, just wait for Maribella to feel comfortable with him and you lose Maribella."


"What should I do?" Finally Abner was consumed by the results of Elgio Durante's reasoning research even though the man was just pretentious to scare Abner.


"Forget the matter of coercion of the will. Try talking to him, Abner. If you shut up, Maribella's gonna think that she saw this morning this afternoon, right."


"I just want to give her time to believe me!" abner complained when the car entered the yard, the more it did not get because Hansel's car was still there and the two people did not seem to want to separate. Abner Luiz's heart grew dark.


"That time could have belonged to Hansel Adelio."


Elgio gets out of the car and greets Hansel while Abner chooses to park the car into the garage.


"Is your date with Maribella going well?" elgio's fishing line after Maribella enters. He wanted to help Abner. The two parents misunderstood again.


Hansel smiled wisely. "No, we decided we were just gonna be friends. I want more than just friends. I appreciate Maribella's stance."


"You know, Mr. Hansel. Maribella is not just a babysitter. Aunt Mai is my mother and my sisters. So, if you're not serious about her, I hope you don't try with her."


Still smiling Hansel replied, "It's too personal but I want to fight for Maribella's love. I hope you support me, Sir. I'm sincere to him."


Elgio nods at Hansel's polite personal liking. "Good luck, Mr. Hansel Adelio."

Can't guess what happens next. The atmosphere of the dining room was very gloomy. Reinha continued to be restless and Marya was loyal to Reinha's side to comfort.


"I feel bad for not knowing about Lucky" Reinha lamented.


"Enya, just pray for him," persuaded Marya.


"Do something, brother!" reinha's whine as Elgio looked only at her. Elgio was thinking hard.


"Enya, Lucky promised to be back in one week. How about you study hard for ...."


"Yes yes, I understand," cut Reinha trying to control herself. The reliance always makes him restless in the endless waiting.


Maribella walks into the dining room while Natalea begins to learn to take care of the dining room. Abner mused over the situation and guessed, Maribella was getting ready to run. It made him lose his calm.


"Aunt Mai, can you accompany me tonight?"


"Ah, okay. Do you want to come with Marya? We can watch the latest Asian drama" Maribella and Marya shake their heads.


"Aunt Mai, I can't sleep without Elgio's embrace" Marya said. "I'm sorry, Enya. Can't keep up even if I really want to."


"It's okay, Marya. It's just, I have a bad feeling. I don't know why, I feel like Lucky's in trouble." Was the man hurt?


"Rest Reinha! I'm going to find out about Lucky tomorrow" Abner said after a long time of watching the cold dining room and the mood of the residents deteriorated. Reinha nodded and they continued to eat dinner in silence without getting excited.


While Natalea clean-up the dining room and kitchen, Augusto settled the back of the house for them to occupy which has not been completed since last night while Marya and Reinha selonjoran on the living room sofa while reading the light reading they found from Durante's private library. Maribella's aloof to the tool shed.


"Reinha, I think Mr. Abner and Maribella are fighting again."


"Didn't they always fight?" reinha asked interested in the love story of her two nannies.


"They got better two nights ago even Mr. Abner was with Maribella in the back room. But throughout the day something seems to happen. Didn't you see Maribella's look this morning?" ask Marya's own wrath. "Very gripping," he added goosebumps.


"really? Oh, I'm so busy with myself and my problems Marya, I don't pay attention to Maribella."


"I think we need to do something so they can be together. Who knows when you're busy, your bad feeling goes away?" marya said again.


"What's your plan, Marya?"


The two whispered and suddenly stopped as Abner descended from the second floor.


"I'll go back to the apartment. Rest up! Too compact the brain with science, can make someone crazy," Abner scolded the two teenagers who look busy reading books on the living room sofa. It was amazing to see the two suddenly moved to study there.


"All right, don't you want a snack?" Mary stood up. "Maribella just made tempura and spicy sauces. If you want, I'll get it for you," Marya bargained and did not wait for an answer to go to the kitchen.


"Mr Abner," said Reinha. Abner's feelings immediately go haywire. Reinha Durante is always unpredictable but if the look of her eyes is folded like that, Abner needs to be vigilant.


"Hmm ... What's wrong?"


"Are you going straight home without talking to Maribella? Stop acting! Are you just gonna realize when a guy comes and marries Maribella?"


"May ...." Abner yawns. "I was so tired, tired, tired, slow and powerless. I'll go home and rest. I'll see him tomorrow." Abner was preparing to lift his legs as a screech rang out from the kitchen.


"Reinha???!!!" marya from the kitchen.


"What's up, Marya?" Reinha jumped off the sofa very surprised.


"I think Aunt Mai's locked in a tool shed."


"really?" Abner immediately ran across the middle space following Reinha. They went to the underground tool room.


"May?!" the man cried frantically at the door of the tool shed peeking out from behind the medium-sized glass and could not find Maribella. The barn door was forced open and when it worked, Abner, immediately went inside forget that the door was broken and they were immediately locked. Reinha and Marya looked at each other outside the tool shed.


"Oh how is this? The door is completely broken, Reinha!"


"Let them talk and Augusto will take care of the rest" Reinha said. "May Mr. Abner be as skilled as he drives the company and supports Elgio! Everything's gonna be okay."


The two waved at Maribella from the outside and Abner who realized that they would not be able to help anytime soon, sighed stifled. He stood between the shelves of dishes and Maribella immediately retreated from that moment until he stood on the sofa when he saw the man enter.


"May .... Are you all right?"


"Yes, the door is suddenly jammed" said Maribella nervously.


"Maybe because they are too old. Why are you here all these nights?" Abner observes the tool shed on the beautiful carved mugs back at Maribella and discovers that the carvings on the ceramic mugs were painted by Maribella.


"Yes, I hope Augusto gets here and fixes the door."


"Did you make up with Hansel and go back on a date with him?" ask Abner suddenly. Talktime.


"Yes," nods Maribella lying.


"All right."


"May you and Luna go well. You guys are very compatible" said Maribella.


"Yes, hopefully. I think Hansel suits you well."


"Em, yeah. Hansel, nice guy, he's fine with dating an uneducated waitress like me" said Maribella, sounding poignant.


"May ...."


"I think I'll go with her" Maribella said again. "She's taking me to see her parents next week and if they like me, I'll probably move to a restaurant and live with her." Maribella lied, and it sounded real.


"You're not going anywhere" Abner said firmly.


"Abner, you're so selfish. I may love you but with Hansel I don't have to fear my lover being taken away by someone. We were just going to be together all day at the restaurant and I didn't have to worry that someone more charming than me would be seen in his bedroom with a lot of red marks on his thighs. Or tease her in the office while I serve my lover breakfast in the morning."


"You can think about me. I don't mind. But what you saw this morning or this afternoon is not true. I hope you're not incited."


"I believe it once, not if the same scene repeats itself twice."


Abner let out a frustrated sigh, "Mai, I don't just touch women. You're the only woman, Maribella Williams."


Abner approaches the woman who broke her heart because of a misunderstanding.


"Please don't!" maribella said stay away.


"No, I don't think you believe me" Abner leaned against the table and pulled Maribella over to him. No waste of time kissing Maribella. "Don't believe what you saw Maribella!"


Maribella can build a strong wall in her heart but if dealing with Abner Luiz, Maribella believes she voluntarily collapsed immediately. Exactly, they kissed softly first then turned hot and again ended up on the sofa like two nights before. No intention of the two builds anticipation for the coming wave of desire. Just keep kissing and making out let the flames of romance race on.


The more she thought she could escape and leave with another man, Abner Luiz grew more frightened and unwilling. His lips turned to the neck running around on the protruding veins full of pressure and demands. Smiling satisfied when you managed to leave the kiss mark there, back pass the path back to the lips of the woman. Stop for a moment to see Maribella's resigned reaction to him. Let the woman take a breath before returning to guerrilla.


They were consumed by passion, forgetting that the door was broken. Abner Luiz lost control, clutching Maribella's tiny waist lying on the sofa curving even more at her. When the man was playing in the arena, teasing Maribella at the base of the woman's neck and acting like a conqueror, a hard blow at the door.


Brraaakk ....


The door fell and Elgio Durante stood there with a crowbar in his hand. Marya and Reinha looked at it for a few seconds.


"Ooopss, Abner Luiz, am I interrupting?"

Aaakkkhh Elgio Durante is bad this time you are ....
