Love That Pain
Ready to accept reality

Veon, who had finished her work, was getting ready to meet Bella at her private home. He had promised the woman to meet him at lunchtime.

Veon doesn't want Bella to come to his office again if she doesn't come to see him. Besides, there was something he wanted to say to the woman. The man asked his personal assistant to drive him to the house.

After arriving at the house, Veon tells Zaki to wait in the car, while he enters his house.

Bella welcomes Veon's arrival with her warm embrace, “I miss you so much,”.

Veon let go of Bella's embrace, “don't be like this,” he said.

“But why? Can't I hug my own girlfriend?” bella asked with a frown.

Veon invites Bella to sit on the sofa, “between us there is no relationship anymore, our relationship is over when you decide to leave me,” he said.

Bella shook her head, “I will never let go of you, I still love you so much, and this time I came back here again because I wanted to collect your promise. Now I'm ready to marry you,” she said, embracing Veon's arm.

Veon removed Bella's hand from her arm, “that promise is no longer valid, because there is one thing you should know about me.”.

“What is it? Don't tell me you've been..”

Veon nodded his head, “I am married, I am happy with my marriage, so I hope you will understand our current condition,”.

Bella clenched her hands together, she did not accept herself being dumped just like that. He will never be willing to let go of Veon, “who is that woman, do I know her?” tanyanya.

“You don't need to know who he is, don't ever bother him, because he's not wrong anything,” Veon said full of emphasis.

Veon knows how Bella is. He would not give up just like that to get what he wanted. The man also did not want his wife in danger, so he did not want to tell Bella the identity of his wife.

“Why are you with me, didn't you promise to marry me? You're evil!” Bella hit the chest of Veon field many times, “ all this time I still love you, because I want to keep my promise to you, but now even you who break the promise,” he said in between sobs.

Veon clasped Bella's hands, “forgive me, that time was urgent, Papa told me to get married soon, so I also can't wait for you, who even have no news for a long time,” said.

Bella rounded her eyes, “what are you in a match? Did you have to marry her?” tanyanya surprised.

“I am not betrothed, the woman who became my wife now is my own choice.”

“I will never let go of you, no!” exclaim Bella hard.

"But it's best for us now, as long as you're in Jakarta, you can stay in this house."

Kania since morning was already suspicious of Veon gelagak who refused lunch from him. Because usually Veon will not eat other foods other than lunch. Kania who felt suspicious finally decided to go to Veon's office.

But unfortunately, when she got to the office, she did not find her husband and Zaki in her room at all. He asked Veon's secretary, but the woman didn't know where the boss was going either.

“Do I check in Veon private house yes, who knows they are there.”

Kania then gets into a taxi, and asks the taxi driver to drive her to the house she used to live in with Veon. Arriving at the house, Kania saw Veon's car parked in his yard.

“So he's really here.” Kania then got out of the taxi when he saw Zaki get out of the car, he then stepped into the yard of the house and approached Zaki.

Zaki was very surprised when he saw Kania in that house, “Kania, what are you doing here?” tanyanya surprised.

Zaki nodded his head, “while Mr. Veon told Bella to stay here,”.

Kania lowered her face, “Zak, will they be back together?” tanyakanya.

Zaki fell silent, he did not know what to answer, because he also did not know Veon's feelings for Bella.

“Why are you quiet, Zak? Just say, I am ready to accept all that reality,” said Kania with a fake smile.

Zaki let out a long sigh, “I don't know either, you better not think too much about all that, because I'm sure Mr. Veon will never leave you,”.

“Where can you be sure of that, don't you know my marriage to him is just a fake? She had to marry me, she didn't love me either. Now that the woman he loved so much is back, I'm sure, she will soon marry Bella, because she already promised him.”

“Kania..”.

Kania smiled, “you don't have to worry, I'm fine. I knew that this was coming soon, the time Veon would end this marriage and return with Bella. I should be happy, because this is what I want, apart from the bonds of this fake marriage, and living freely.” The woman lowered her face, “but I also did not expect, I will fall in love with that cold-hearted man. Will I be able to release it someday?” tanyanya.

“Kania, if you really love Mr. Veon, then fight, because the one who is more entitled to Mr. Veon is you, not Bella.”

Kania shook her head, “I will not be able to fight alone, while her heart is not for me, but for Bella,”.

What Kania said was all true, Zaki also would not deny that, because Veon himself told her if she did not have any feelings for Kania at all. But Zaki could see there was love for Kania in both of Veon's eyes, only that Veon hadn't noticed it yet.

Kania rubbed both corners of her eyes that had been filled with tears, “don't tell her that I'm here, I don't want her to know that I already know everything,” he said.

“But why? Wouldn't it be better for Mr. Veon to know that you already know everything. That way he can tell you everything, and you can find out his true feelings.”

Kania shook her head, “I will keep waiting until she wants to tell me the truth. I don't want to force him to tell you everything,” he said.

“But, if you keep it like this, then your heart will get more hurt.”

Kania brushed off her smile, “when I realized this feeling, I was ready to get hurt. I also do not expect him to return my feelings, because since the beginning of the relationship between us has been wrong,” he said.

“Do you really want Mr Veon to end your relationship? Though you guys have..”

“I'm ready for it, about what he and I have done, I will never regret it, because I did it as a wife's duty. And also because I love her.” Kania then took her foot out of the yard.

Zaki just sighed, he actually could not bear to see Kania like that, but he also could not do anything, nor could he force Veon to love Kania. Moreover, love comes by itself, not because of coercion from anyone.

On the way back home, Kania was not stopping crying, making the taxi driver scrunch his forehead to see the condition of Kania.

“Nona, if you keep crying, then people will think I have mistreated you,” said the taxi driver.

Kania was just silent, she continued to stare out the window while holding back her sobs so as not to further break.

“What are you in breaking up with your boyfriend, until you cry like this?” ask the taxi driver.

“You better focus ahead, I don't want to until anything happens later. And you also have no right to know what my problem is.” Kania spoke in a cold tone.

“I'm sorry, Miss,” said the taxi driver.
