Let Me Still Love You
Leftover food

Bella waits for Rey and Kia at the dinner table. It looks Rey and Kia walking down one by one rungs of stairs, with Rey's hand position embracing at Kia's waist.

Although it feels like Bella can't stand the sight, but she tries to stay strong. Bella assured her heart, so as not to cry in front of them.

“You guys are done? come eat!“ Invite Bella while allowing them to sit down, and do not forget her friendly smile.

“Who let you sit there?“ cetus Rey stared intently at Bella.

“Sorry, Rey.“ Bella lowered her head as she moved from her seat.

“Stand there! wait till we're done eating, then you can eat." Pinta Rey while pointing towards Bella's back seat, Bella just smiled nodding.

It was clearly visible in Bella's eyes the romanticization of the couple in front of her. They eat while occasionally laughing, or even feeding each other food. Bella's heart was sliced by a dull, painful knife, which made her feel even more hurt and betrayed.

“Sorry Bella .. Her food runs out, only this remains.“ Excited Kia while thrusting the plate she had used to eat to Bella.

“No problem Kia, this is also good. You've left this food for me, and not spending it is enough. Thank you Kia." Bella smiled as she picked up the plate given by Kia.

"Woman why is this so stupid? why would he want to be told to eat leftovers, instead of him he can cook it again in the kitchen." Inner Rey was astonished as she looked at Bella who was still smiling.

“You can't eat here, eat in the kitchen there!“ ketus Rey who saw Bella was about to sit in a chair, hearing the words Rey, Bella also undo her intention to sit. Actually Rey does not want to see Bella eat there. However, there was a pity that enveloped his heart, when he saw the woman eating leftover food.

“Alright, I'll clean this table first! after that, I will eat in the kitchen.“ Bella smiled as she picked up the dirty dishes, and cleaned the table.

***

Bella puts the dirty dishes into the sink, which she will wash after she finishes eating. Bella walks to the food storage cabinet. He took his food from the cupboard, and brought it to a table near the kitchen.

[B e l a ]

Hahaha .. Do you think I don't know what you're planning, right? do you think I'm that stupid? I'm the one who cooks this meal, of course I'll take my share first, before I give it to you to eat.

But, why can you do this much for me? if you don't want to feed me already, no problem. Why should I give me leftover food. Do you really think I'm that bad? do you think I'm a pet? what's my fault with you guys?

Bella cries while chewing the food inside her mouth. He felt he could not live like this.

Bella thinks she's a tough guy. But, no matter how loud a person is, still if he is in the position he is today, he will be a weak person.

After finishing her meal, Bella went to wash the dishes. After that, Bella set her foot towards the living room.

Bella was about to step her feet away from there, she felt she was no longer able to see the scene.

“Hey bella, come sit with us!“ pinta Kia while patting the sofa next to her.

"Do you want to test my patience? seeing you guys from far away has made me want to cry, let alone you telling me to sit near you ... do you want to kill me slowly?" bella muttered, looking at the two of them.

“No need Kia, I'm afraid to disturb you guys." Bella refuses Kia's request.

“I'm sorry to go back first.“ Bella reviews the smile on her lips, and instantly passes leaving Rey and Kia heading to the backyard.

"Why is he always smiling like that? whatever the circumstances, whatever my treatment of him, but he still smiled. Is she so happy to see me with another woman .. Crazy woman.“ Rey's inner self stared at Bella's back, which began to disappear from her sight. He was also confused by his current feelings.

"When are you going to smile like that, Bella? soon you will never be able to show your fake smile.“ Inner Kia while staring at Bella's cynical back.

***

Arriving in the backyard of the house, Bella stepped her feet toward the garden chair, and sat her body in the chair.

Bella sat silent while remembering the bad events that had experienced her first, the events that made her very lazy to remember her, however, the incident also left many beautiful memories in her.

“Here baby, hug mama!" Pinta mama Bella while stretching her arms to hug Bella. Bella came over and hugged her mom. Mama Bella cried while peeping the top of her child's head many times. Mama Bella was no longer able to say anything because she was too happy.

“Congratulations yes, Darling. You are indeed the smartest mama's child.“ Mama Bella said as she cupped her hands to Bella's face and kissed her little cheek.
