MARRIAGE BY MISTAKE
Red Stain.

That morning, Bella woke up early. She saw her husband who was still sleeping. In a slow motion, he got out of bed and went into the bathroom to wash his face. While in the bathroom, Bella's view centers on Axel's soaked shirt. He scrunched his forehead when he saw that.

Though usually Axel never soak his dirty clothes. It will store in a laundry basket or hanging haphazardly. Then why is it soaked now? Bella immediately took the shirt, although it was a little faded but Bella still saw clearly that there was a red stain on the shirt.

"What is this stain? What might.." Suddenly a bad feeling ambushed him.

"You can't, By, betray me?" bella closed her eyes and a single tear escaped past her cheek.

Axel just woke up after it was almost noon. She felt beside him and could not find Bella there. Axel rushed to take a shower and looked for his wife, he saw that there was already a lot of food at the dinner table. But he didn't find his wife there.

"Miss Bella left early this morning, sir" the reply that Aunt Mauli gave surprised Axel.

Axel tried to call his wife's number, but was not picked up. Axel then leaves the house to find Bella, but suddenly his phone rings.

"What's wrong?" snapped Axel felt so upset that Bram called him at the wrong time.

"You've been waiting for Mr.'s meeting"

"Cancel that meeting" Axel said lightly.

"Sorry Sir, but this meeting can't be delayed. All the company executives are here, including your father"

"Damn!" axel immediately turned off the phone. He forgot that today there was an important meeting that could not be stayed.

Bella sat pensively by the beach, The breezy sea breeze seemed to fly her long hair. Bella's eyes looked gloomy and uninspired. She kept thinking about the reason why her husband didn't keep his promise last night. How could Axel easily forget his promise, What now Axel already considers himself unimportant. Then the red stain..?

Bella felt her phone vibrate, there was a message on her WhatsApp. Bella immediately opened it, From an unknown number sent a photo. Bella's heart stopped beating and her breathing became more congested when she saw the photos sent.

In the photo, Axel is embracing the shoulder of a woman in front of the hospital room. As if not satisfied with just sending a photo, the person seemed to send a video back. With a trembling hand, Bella opened the video. She could not stem her tears when the video was played showing her husband hugging and calming a woman who was none other than her ex-lover.

Bella's world seemed to collapse, How could Axel hug and calm other women. He also paid attention and was so gentle with the woman. Her tears were getting louder, her heart was as sick as it was in the iris.

"You want a balloon?" suddenly someone came up to him and gave him a purple balloon.

Bella looked over and wiped her tears. He frowned when he saw a man who might be the same age as him. He just stared at the man.

"Of course, don't cry. If you don't want one balloon, how about a lot?" said the man again made Bella more frown.

"You think I'm a kid" exclaimed Bella with a kettle.

"You know Miss? This is not just a balloon, with this balloon we can fly our dreams up to an infinite distance" said the man again.

"Haha, there can't be someone in this world who doesn't have a dream Miss. We live in it like this balloon, it blows up and it flies and it falls. If it doesn't fall, we won't feel how it hurts. Nor will we feel what it's like to struggle and walk again" the man commented on the beautiful sweet smile. He handed the balloon to Bella's hand.

"Imagine this balloon is your problem, then release this balloon into space and it will disappear. And you'll be relieved" said the man, making Bella even more clueless.

"What the hell, it's just a balloon" Bella said, not believing it. How to release a balloon can make himself relieved.

"Trust me Miss, close your eyes and imagine that what you hold is your problem. The more you hold it, the more you will get hurt because the balloon continues to be blown by the wind. Let go Miss, free yourself from the pain"

The man's words were like a spell that made Bella follow what she said. He closed his eyes and clasped the balloon tightly. He actually maintained the balloon so as not to be blown by the wind, but over time his hands hurt because the wind was too strong. Slowly Bella opened her arms, letting the balloon fly off into space.

Axel looks like he just got home at eight o'clock. When he entered the house the atmosphere was very quiet. He thought Bella might have gone to sleep, but when she went into the room, Bella was not there either. Axel began to worry, he immediately went to the back room to ask Aunt Mauli who is currently staying at his house because Axel who asked since Bella's pregnancy has grown.

"Miss hasn't come home since this morning Mister" again Axel got a shocking news.

"Braam! Find my wife right now" Axel said directly to the Assistant.

Axel was pacing back and forth anxiously waiting for Bella to come home, he was not stopping to call his wife's mobile number. All her friends have been in contact with her, but they have no idea where Bella is. Axel held back his emotions, between anxiety, fear, and of course anger because Bella left since this morning until now has not gone home.

At half-time 10 p.m., the main door opens. Axel went straight to Bella who just looked at him pushy, he deliberately went home at night because his eyes were swollen from crying.

"Where have you been? Why go not give any news at all! Bella, I know you're angry but you shouldn't be home this late. Did you forget you were pregnant!" said Axel can not control his emotions, he spoke very loudly until the corner of the house was heard.

Her eyes looked reddened making Bella shocked. Why is Axel angry? He should have been the one who was angry because the man had cheated on him behind his back.

"I just want to be alone" Bella said in a choked voice.

"What's really going on? Say it!" axel said it was still as loud as before. He hates to guess the hearts of others.

"I should have asked! What was? Why are you so changed By, is there something you're hiding from me!" Bella began to ignite her emotions, Disappointment and heartache turned into anger because Axel did not feel guilty at all.

"What do you mean?" Axel bent his face not understanding.

"You know what I mean!" bella said she didn't want to say anything, she wanted the truth from Axel's own mouth. He immediately walked into the room without caring about Axel.
