Axel looked at Bella's back who was now sleeping with her back. She knows that she hasn't slept, but Bella chooses to pretend to avoid interacting with her.
Axel let out a long sigh, exhaling ya slowly. There are actually a lot of things they need to talk about. Because of his stupidity that could not control himself everything became chaotic. Her relationship with Bella is already so stiff, and she's only made things worse.
"Are you asleep?" he said he ventured to start the conversation first.
Bella doesn't say. He chose to close his eyes tightly to dispel the agonizing shame.
Very Very Shy
He endlessly cursed himself who was so stupid that he could kiss Axel. Oh no! Even now he still remembered his short but hot kiss with Axel.
Damn it
"I know you haven't slept" Axel continued, not getting an answer. "About the matter I'm sorry, and please forget about it"
"Great son of you talking! It was my first kiss, and Lo casually picked it up" protested Bella upset that she remembered it was her first kiss and that jerk had taken it. And what was that? Told to forget? Just be right.
"But I don't think it's the first, because it was before... " Axel deliberately hung up his words..
"Stop! That's a different story. At that time Lo took my kiss without my knowledge" now Bella rose from her sleep and looked at Axel with an upset look.
Axel smelled her smile provoking Bella's annoyance was very easy. It felt like he wanted to laugh at the face of the woman who kept wrinkling in annoyance.
"Just the same, right? Same kiss" she replied with a sweet smile.
Bella until melted it was like seeing Axel's sweet smile. He only realized that Axel was getting more handsome when he smiled. Ah no! Why the hell now it feels like he's so crazy because of that guy.
"Stop that shit Lo! You have to draw boundaries between us. And I hope Lo's still wondering about Lo's promise to divorce me after this baby is born"
Bella certainly does not want to continue to be trapped by the charm of the man. Because he does not want to get carried away with feelings and will certainly complicate everything. Although there was currently a strange taste in his heart as he said it all.
Axel frowned, feeling that Bella's words were quite unfavorable. They just got married, and why even talk about divorce. But isn't that the plan? Why is he the one who is not willing?.
"As you wish, I will definitely keep my promise" Axel said in a flat tone. His eyes chased after Bella's eyes that had been avoiding him.
"It's night, you better get some sleep! Not good for health if you sleep too late, I go first" Axel said again while getting out of bed.
Bella opened her mouth to ask where the man was going. But his heart seemed to refuse, he chose to silence staring at the sturdy back of Axel who walked away.

"Smoking is not good for health" Papa Nugraha's voice broke the silence Axel felt.
Axel was a little surprised, he grinded his cigarette into Ashtray. "Om" he said sounding stiff.
"What's right here? Not sleeping?" asked Papa Nugraha to sit beside Axel.
"Not yet sleepy" Axel replied.
"Or got Bella kicked out?" guess Papa Nugraha followed a small oddity even sounds like a mockery for Axel.
Axel smiled wryly, he felt a little astonished by Papa Nugraha's relaxed demeanor. It's so different from before.
"Bella is his son that, from the first most difficult to approach. A lot of people think he's arrogant, but he's not. He just needs a little time to get closer to other people" Papa Nugraha said, glaring away.
"From childhood I always obey all his wishes. Maybe it makes Bella a spoiled person even to adulthood. Sometimes I like to miss her childish nature" Papa Nugraha chuckled, remembering Bella who likes to seduce her if she wants something. But the corner of his eyes looked wet.
"When he was first born into this world, I promised myself to always protect and protect him. But now my little daughter is married. And now she's your responsibility as her husband. Can I ask you something for a favor?" papa Nugraha said in a serious voice. His eyes looked at Axel sharply.
Axel was silent. "What is Om? If I can petrify I will definitely do it" Axel said with certainty.
"Please take care of my daughter like I've been looking after her all this time. If he does something wrong, please forgive his mistake. Don't ever hurt him. If one day you're bored and don't like it. Just give him back to me" Papa Nugraha said again, his eyes looking sad. He looked at Axel with hope.
Axel saw that. "I won't hurt him, and I'll always keep him" Axel replied in the most serious tone he had ever uttered.
Papa Nugraha smiled with relief. Looked at his daughter-in-law's serious face. He believes Axel can take care of his daughter. Ever since he first saw Axel at his house, he had his own judgment about the man. He giggles, how to talk and look in the eye, Papa Nugraha knows if Axel is the right person for Bella. Although Axel got into this family the wrong way. Papa Nugraha never really hated him.
"Papa believes you"
