Chapter 11 Aunt Mandy's Destination?
Lucas catches up with Bella to her room, but before she enters the room, Bella's voice flicks her legs. Yes, the woman screamed for Lucas to leave himself, without saying anything Lucas left the place.
Lucas went back to the kitchen. There Aunt Mandy seemed busy cleaning the old tools had been cooking. His contained body seemed to be swaying due to the movement of his hands. A scene that has always been missed since the passing of his mother. Yes, his mother died when he was 14 years old. And he really lost Mom's figure.
Aunt Mandy turned her head because she felt like someone was watching her from behind. After finding out Lucas was staring at her, a sweet smile was painted on her thin lips.
"Have you talked to Bella?" ask Aunt Mandy.
The middle-aged woman walked over to Lucas, then sat down next to the man.
"I know how Bella feels after hearing her sister is getting married, she must be jealous." Aunt Mandy smiled.
Lucas frowned at Mandy's aunt's words, "Happy? Mean Aunt?"
The middle-aged woman smiled, but said nothing more as she began to busy arranging the dishes containing the dishes she had cooked.
"Auntis what your decision to marry me is right?" lucas' words stopped what the middle-aged woman was doing.
"You mean I was wrong?" Aunt Mandy looked at Lucas with an illegible look. He then clasped Lucas' hands tightly together. "Luc, I know you don't love Kimber but I beg you to learn to love him" she said.
"If Bibi finds out why you forced me to marry that woman?"
"I want the best for my nieces and nephews." Aunt Mandy stood up and began to get busy with her work.
***
Kimber walked towards the room of the man who lived in the house with him, he wanted to ask for an explanation from him, without knocking on the door of the woman directly into the room of the man.
There, in the room, Aaron looks like he just finished a shower. His dark brown hair still looks wet even there are a few drops of water that fell on the shirt he is now wearing. And that really makes Kimber's face hot.
"Do you have no manners, huh?!" Aaron turned his body to face Kimber.
The woman did not respond to anything other than watching the man in front of her with a gaze that was difficult to interpret, but afterwards she could control herself.
"Courtesy manners? For yours? I don't have one, because you shouldn't be given it." Kimber replied to the man's words with no less cynical, and somehow every time he faced her his emotions were always hounded.
"Of course, because I know what kind of woman you are. Tell me what is it you need to come here? Because I don't have much time to serve a woman who doesn't have manners like you." Aaron walks past Kimber and out of his room. I don't want that woman to follow him either.
The man continued walking without caring about the woman who was following him from behind.
"Hey! Actually where are you," said Kimber who continues to follow Aaron.
"To a place you're not in."
Aaron headed for the kitchen and then took the water from the freezer. But before he downed the water Kimber first snatched it from his hand.
"What are you doing!" aaron snapped because his drinking water had moved into Kimber's hands.
"Take this from you. Why is there a problem?" kimber said with a big smile.
Aaron snorted and took the glass back from Kimber's hand.
"Please take care of your attitude because soon you will be the wife of Lucas Adnan who is famous for being very cold.
Kimber frowned, then looked at the man's face. Aaron looks different, he's impressed to keep his distance. It was because of the requirements he had made so that the man had actually kept his promise not to touch her again.
"Why should I marry Lucas?" Kimber asked as Aaron was drinking his water.
Aaron almost spouted the water in his mouth, then looked at the face of the woman in front of him.
"Isn't that what you want? And I've made it easier if you're going to win this game" Aaron said.
"But not in this way. Marriage should be based on love." Kimber follows Aaron as the man walks towards the dining table.
"Is that important? Isn't it going to be better, a relationship that's not based on feelings?"
The words of the man succeeded in making Kimber careless. With her slender hand she blocks Aaron's wrist to make him stop avoiding her. And it worked.
Aaron stopped and looked at Kimber's face. He did not bother at all about having his wrist gripped so tightly because he did not feel any pain at all just being around him made his heartbeat work more than it should and he was really scared.
The man no longer avoids Kimber even though his hands are free. She kept staring at Kimber's pretty face as if this was the last day to be able to freely admire him.
"But why?" ask Kimber.
Aaron did not answer Kimber's question, but he preferred to hug the woman's body. Whether he realized it or not, the woman he was hugging had become one of the most valuable women after his mother.
***
Aunt Mandy went to Bella's room, where the woman was still lying. Her shoulders looked still up and down, and the middle-aged woman meant how Bella felt. Because he had felt it before, losing the love he wanted, until he could not open his heart to any man.
"Bella ...," said Aunt Mandy to Bella's bed.
Bella was silent and refused to look. Let Aunt Mandy be suspicious of her attitude, the important thing is that she doesn't want to be bothered by anyone.
"Auntie knows how you feel, but it'll be easier for both of you" Aunt Mandy sat down by the side of the bed and stroked Bella's hair.
Bella, curious by the words of her aunt, turned her body to face the middle-aged woman, "What does Aunt mean?"
Bella's forehead was wrinkled and she was completely confused.
Aunt Mandy smelled her smile, then pulled Bella's hand to get the woman up, "Lunch is ready, don't let your future sister-in-law wait long, Bell."
Again Bella frowned because she heard her Aunt's words about the future sister-in-law, if it's true that the woman named Kimber became Lucas' wife, she better just go, disappear until people can't find it.
"What exactly is Auntie's goal?" Bella squinted both eyes. He seemed suspicious of the arrival of the middle-aged woman, because for 10 years more news was not heard and now the middle-aged woman was suddenly here.
Aunt Bath's face gasped in shock at the words of her nephew, but it was only a second, "What do you mean? Do you suspect me, Bella?" the middle-aged woman stared fixedly at Bella's face. While the hand that was used to pull Bella's wrist has now been released.
"I was just wondering to Auntie, why are you forcing that ridiculous wedding on Lucas?" Bella was completely unwilling to be a weak woman and she tried to rebel.
"Is this what you're saying manners," said Aunt Mandy.
"I'm not disrespectful, Auntie, but I'm just wondering at you" Bella stood up, "and knew what Auntie had about Lucas and Kimber? Even the woman was only a few days we knew," he continued.
Aunt Mandy really didn't expect Bella to behave like that. Yes, he admitted that he planned it all, because he knew how the brothers were related. He did not want their fate to be the same. A tear escaped from one of his eyes.
"But Lucas agreed" said Aunt Mandy, then turned around to leave Bella alone.
***
After the middle-aged woman left, then Bella regretted her words. He seemed to have no manners, even heartlessly accusing his aunt of planning something bad for him as well as Lucas, who had, he told me to sit on the floor no matter if it was dirty because what he had in mind was only one, how his relationship with Lucas was going forward, anyway the man he loved had agreed to marry another woman.
Bella's tears could not be prevented, and she cried sobbing. Until the sound of footsteps stopped her crying and in a hurry she wiped away the tears on her cheeks.
"Can I come in?" said a woman.
Bella knows well from her voice and the woman is none other than the female Kimber who will be with her man.
With a heavy heart he let the woman into his room. Bella stood up from her seat then looked at Kimber with a flat look.
"I just wanted to take you to lunch, because under the people have been waiting for you." Kimber looks nervous talking to Bella.
Bella smiled, but from the bottom of her heart she cursed Kimber, "I'm not hungry, if you're hungry it's better to just eat now, don't wait for me" she said.
Kimber is not an innocent woman and also innocent because he knows Bella is jealous of him and he does not feel good because of it. If only he and Aaron didn't have that ridiculous deal maybe he would have backed out when Aunt Mandy told Lucas to marry her, because she thought marriage wasn't something that could be a toy, but it had to be how else, if he refuses then the impact will be felt by his family.
"Are you mad at me, Bell? I mean, about that marriage," Kimber tried to figure out what the woman in front of him was thinking.
"If so, would you be happy" Bella replied in a cynical tone.
"But why? Isn't that fun news? Your brother is getting married, "dog Kimber.
And after Kimber said that Bella's facial expression completely changed. He looks angry.
"Then I congratulate you on your wedding plans. May the man you marry truly love you. You better get out, I'm sleepy," Bella's really upset and she kicked Kimber out of her room.
Kimber could not speak anymore, he resignedly moved from Bella's room with mixed feelings.
