Illnesses


Rey still faithfully hugs Bella and occasionally drops a kiss to the top of her head.


“Rey, done it! it's noon, you can be late,“ said Bella as she looked up at Rey.


“For a moment, I still want to hug you like this.“ Said Rey while tightening her embrace.


“Rey, I want to cook for us breakfast. Aren't you working today?“ bella asked and Rey shook her head in response. Rey remembered her mother's words, if they had not forgotten to go to mother's house.


“Quick take a shower, after this we will go to mother's house!“ Rey took off her hug.


“No need to cook, we eat at mom's house only,“ connect her again. Bella just nodded.


Bella got out of bed and straightened her feet into the bathroom. In about 25 minutes, Bella comes out of the bathroom and turns with Rey.

When you are done getting ready. Rey and Bella are out of the house. Bella locks the door, while Rey picks up the car inside the garage.


Rey opens the car door for Bella and lets her in.


“Please enter, Princess.“ Rey said as she widened her smile.


“You're all there, Rey!“ Bella went straight inside, because her face was already flushed.

Traveling for almost 40 minutes, they finally reached Rey's mother's house.


Rey gets out of her car and runs to open the car door for Bella. Bella says thank you. Rey knocked on her mother's door. Not long after that the door of the house opened and revealed the figure of a middle-aged woman with a fluffy smile on her face.


"Mom" Bella kissed Ms. Shinta's hand.


"Yes, honey." Shinta hugged Bella. Rey who saw her mother so close to the woman who had become her wife now felt envious.


"Mom, your son is here." Rey said as she pointed at herself. Shinta ma'am immediately let go of her embrace towards Bella.


"Mom knows, I saw her,"


"If you know, why are you only watching Bella, not me?" Rey pursed her lips.


"You are like a child!" Bella chuckles amusedly at Rey's child-like attitude when in front of her mother.


"Mom, this is for me." Bella handed the paper bag to Ms. Shinta.


"What is this, honey?" ask Ms. Shinta.


"It's a gift for the mother we bought in Spain yesterday, ma'am." Bella. Because Bella had bought souvenirs for Ms. Shinta when they went around in Ibiza.


"Thank you, dear." Said Ms. Shinta while she kissed Bella on the forehead.


"Come in, baby!" take Bu Shinta to Bella while embracing her daughter-in-law's shoulder.


"Mother .. You let me out" whinek Rey to her mother.


"Sorry, I forgot that you're here too" Shinta said, holding her smile, as did Bella, who found it funny to see Rey that way.


"Let's go in mom's son!" Miss Shinta pulled Rey's ear.


"Auww... hurts, Mom!" Rey grimaced while holding her ear.


"Eat him, next time a little more mature!" cetus Bu Shinta while removing her hand from Rey's ear.


"You have a wife too. Aren't you ashamed of your wife?" said Ms. Shinta.


"Why am I like a stepson" Rey grumbled as she walked into the house following her mother and wife.

Shinta and Bella are sitting on the couch, and Rey sits next to her mother.


"How was your vacation, honey? what's fun?" shinta asked Bella.


"It's so much fun, Mom. Thank you, Mom, because I've chosen a place that Bella wanted to go to since a long time ago" Bella said with a smile.


"It doesn't matter, honey," Ms. Shinta returned her smile.


"Mother is so mean, I'm just concerned about Bella, not me" Rey looked upset.


"What's wrong with you?"asked Bu Shinta who was astonished by her son's attitude.


"Why did you choose Spain? I know for myself, if I can't speak Spanish" Rey said, pursing her lips.


"Then I told you to go with Bella, because Bella can speak Spanish,"


"Mother put your own child to shame!" cetus Rey as he passed up the stairs to the room that he had once occupied before marrying Bella.


"What happened to Rey, son?" Bella also tells the story of Rey with Mr. Didi who had been told Rey to her.


"Hahaha," Bu Shinta chuckled amusedly at what Bella had just told her.


"Why would I have such a stupid child?" said Bu Shinta while still laughing and holding her stomach that hurt from laughing.


"She's so clueless" Ms. Shinta tried to end her laughter.


"Yes, I was right." Replied Bella who was still smiling to see Bu Shinta laughing off like that.


While in the room, Rey heard the sound of her mother's laughter so loose, I don't know what they discussed to make her mother laugh like that, so was Rey's mind.

Shinta and Bella were in the kitchen, cooking food for them to eat this morning. It looks Bella so understand the kitchen spices, and so painstakingly cut the vegetable ingredients neatly.


"You are getting used to kitchen ingredients like this, son," said Ms. Shinta.


"Yes Mom, I know for myself, before living with mom, Bella just lives alone. So, inevitably, Bella must be independent," replied Bella while still cutting vegetables. Bu Shinta just nodded.


"So, what about your illness, son?" Bella stopped her cutting activity, and she immediately turned her head towards her mother-in-law.


"Bella's better, Mom. Just a few times chemotherapy alone, Bella has healed," said Bella as she brushed aside her smile.


"It's good to want it like that. You can tell my mom that you need to go to the hospital" Shinta said.


"Thank you, Mom." Bella continued to cut the vegetables that had been delayed.


"I'm sorry Bella, Mom. Bella lied to mom. Bella doesn't want you to worry, if you know the true state of Bella. Once again Bella's sorry, ma'am." Inner Bella.

The cooking of Bu Shinta and Bella is done. Now they just put it out to the dining table.


"Bella, you go get Rey there, kid!" ma'am Shinta's orders to Bella.


"Yes, Mom. Bella call Rey first, Mom." Bella said as she passed away leaving Miss Shinta.


Bella set her feet up one by one the stairs. He walked to Rey's room, which they shared 1 week after marriage, before they moved into their current home. The room where Rey still allows Bella to sleep one bed with her. And the room where Rey treats Bella well, even if it's only been 1 week.
