Let Me Still Love You
Misses

“You mean?“

“Kia once took a photo of Bella while accompanying her mom in a mental hospital, and she stuck it on the school floor. It makes Bella the talk of children in one school,” Ronald said. Rey was shocked to hear what Ronald said.

"What's? a mental hospital? why is Bella's mom in a mental institution?" asked Rey who was so surprised.

“In fact, how your in-laws you don't know,” Ronald is upset to see Rey who knows absolutely nothing about his wife's life.

“At the time Bella was about to get into junior high school, her parents divorced. And because of her parents' divorce, Bella's mother was in shock and resulted in her having a mental disorder. From then on, Bella had to study independently. Fortunately, Bella is a smart child, otherwise she might not continue her schooling. Therefore, Bella can attend an elite school, because she always gets a scholarship.” Rey was silent to Ronald's story.

“So, where is mama Bella's current whereabouts?” Ronald was really upset to see his best friend.

“Rey ... You don't even know that Bella's mom is dead. What kind of daughter-in-law are you!” ronald was very upset to see Rey. Hearing Ronald's words, Rey immediately remembered Bella.

“Bella never gets happiness from her little one, Rey. I hope, you can make her happy,” said Ronald.

“So that's what makes him always say such sad words. That's why Bella always grieves even crying if I ask about her mama, or about her personal life. Bella, I promise I'll give you happiness.” Rey said in her heart.

“Oh yes, why do you think that those who took the photos were Kia?”

“Because when we were in High School, who knew the condition of Bella's real mother was only teachers, and Bella's friends, including Kia.”

“Why didn't I know there was such an incident in our school first?” Rey really never knew if there was such an incident before her.

“Because it happened when you fell off the top of the building, that's why you didn't know about it,” exclaimed Ronald.

“Now you know who you should love and hate? “ says Ronald.

“For so long you loved the wrong person and hated the one who loved you so much, Rey.” Rey still did not budge, he just silently heard the words of his best friend. Ronald wants to tell Rey all the true events, but he recalls Bella's words, that they must keep the secret from Rey.

Bella was lying on the living room couch listening to music. Suddenly her house bell rang, someone visited her house. Bella immediately went to the door and reached for the door handle and opened it. When Bella opened the door, how surprised she was when she saw that coming were her friends.

“Bella,” Chelsea and Lily immediately splashed into Bella's arms. Bella was still silent unmoved, she still could not believe what she was currently seeing. Her best friend who has been 6 years has never seen her, finally came to visit her home.

“Bella, what's wrong with you? Why are you keeping quiet? Don't you like us coming here? “ Chelsea rained questions on Bella who was still silent to see her best friend.

Not felt, Bella's cheeks that initially dried are now wet due to her tears that flow on the cheeks.

“Bella, why are you crying? Are you unhappy to see us?” Lily who changed asked because she saw Bella was just silent and now she was crying.

Bella hugged her two best friends. “Do you know, I am so happy to meet you? Do you know this is a cry of happiness? Because I was so happy, I couldn't say anything more. All I want to say right now is, I miss you so much,” Tangis Bella broke up, as well as those two best friends of hers. The three of them hugged while letting go of the longing for 6 years of not meeting. While Kia just looked at them from behind with a dislike look.

Bella quits college because of her lack of fees, while Kia quits college because she left her parents' house to avenge Bella.

Bella tells her three best friends to come in, and Bella closes the door.

“When are you back from Germany?” bella asked as they sat on the living room couch.

“Bella, I'm a little thirsty,” Not her answer to Bella's question, Lily instead smiled while saying that she wanted to drink. Chelsea hit Lily's arm softly which made the woman grimace.

“You're this, hasn't changed from the first yes!” bella said as she passed to the kitchen to make drinks for her best friend. Bella returned from the kitchen carrying a tray containing 4 glasses of drinks and snacks.

“Barin.” Lily said when she finished drinking.

“Iya, Bella. We miss you so much, so we immediately came here and invited Kia,” Chelsea to join.

They talked about how Chelsea and Lily lived in Germany. It didn't feel like the time was late in the afternoon, but they were still busy chatting, probably because they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Until the end of it was heard the voice of someone who was pressing the bell. Bella went to open the door.

There was a handsome man with a briefcase in his right hand. Yeah, it's Rey, Bella's husband.

Bella immediately took Rey's briefcase from her hand and kissed her husband's hand. Rey brought her lips closer to Bella's forehead, then kissed her a little longer.

“I've come home, Darling.” Rey said as she removed her kiss from Bella's forehead and held the woman's cheek. The sight is certainly not separated from the vision of Bella's three friends.

“Aduh .. romantic once you two, so envious,” said Lily while staring at the couple who was making out in front of her.

“Means you are a marriage splinter, so you can mergerasain.” Celtap Chelsea.

“Heh, equally single too, why debate anyway!” Said Kia saw the two friends.

Bella was still speechless in her place, her face was already flushed with embarrassment. He did not expect that Rey would treat him well in front of his best friend, especially in front of Kia. Kia heated up looking at the scene that was in front of her at this moment.

“Rey, let me take you upstairs. I'll prepare bath water for you!” take Bella. Rey shakes.

“No need, Honey. You just keep your friend here, yeah. I can do it myself.” Said Rey while rubbing Bella's cheek with one of her hands. Bella just looked down in shame. Rey retrieves her briefcase from Bella's hand, then walks upstairs to the room.

Rey has no idea that Bella's friends are coming to her house today, let alone Kia coming along. And Rey also has no intention of doing good to Bella just to make Kia jealous. Rey did it because she had already started to open her heart to Bella.
