After asking Bella also took her eyes off the photo and chose to pay attention to some photos that were still lined up on the wall. Bella's gaze was locked onto a photo showing how happy a small family was at the time.
"At that time you seemed so close to Dad. Why not now?" Show Bella in the photo that shows little Rael being carried by her father.
"I don't want to talk about that." Briefly Rael with a lazy face.
"Oh Rael, you said I'm here to get to know your past. Then why when I ask you don't want to tell a story? Come on tell me." Pinta Bella pleads with her husband.
"Yes, okay I'll tell you. But before that I want to show you something." Said Rael who eventually succumbed to Bella who continued to force her to tell stories.
Rael directs Bella to sit on the sofa of the room. He stepped towards a nightstand and took out a wooden box from inside. Bella frowned seeing that the wooden box was padlocked and looked like it had been so long. Rael again approached Bella and sat down next to his wife.
"What's this box?" Ask Bella who is so curious.
"This box contains all of your father's rot that left you dead." Rael reveals that Bella is shocked. He did not believe Rael's remark that Haris was the cause of his mother-in-law's death.
"You mean your mother-in-law died because of Dad?" Ask Bella to make sure. Rael nodded as he tried to open the wooden box.
"When I was 5 years old, I heard Mom and Dad fighting for the first time. Although not very clear sounding, but I can catch the chatter of those who question that Dad hid some of his salary without the knowledge of Mother for the sake of other women. Since then I was so scared and thought that Dad and Mom would be separated. But over time the matter was no longer heard, Mother and Father no longer quarreled over the money. I also slightly forgot about it, but after I turned 19, Mom and Dad were arguing again and I found out that Dad has a mistress out there and even that woman already has a child who is almost my age. Mother also knew about it, because it was covered in anger, Mother decided to commit suicide without realizing that what she did had ruined my life until now. The baby in the mother's womb was not saved. Therefore I hate Dad, everything that happens is his fault!" Obviously Rael at length makes Bella even more distrustful that a good man like Haris can betray his son and wife.
"But your father was a good man and a great helper." Bella expressed her opinion.
"Where do you know that Dad was that kind of person? You've only known him for a few months." Rael asks because she feels as if Bella has been talking to her father for several years.
"And my father helped me and my mother. Even when I was a kid, your dad was always there for us. If it wasn't your father's help it would be obvious right now that I'm a nobody and probably won't meet you." Bella makes Rael frown.
"Oh yeah, why didn't I know before? What else did the man do to make his name more generous in the eyes of everyone? Though originally to behave well to his son and wife alone he had failed." Rael growled with annoyance.
"Hush... You can't talk like that. After all, I am still your father. The most important thing now is that you try to forgive her mistakes and let her go. If you are still bound by hatred, you are unknowingly destroying your life." Bella's advice made Rael speechless and a little thought that what was said by his wife was true.
"What kind of truth do you expect after meeting them?" Bella asked curiously.
"I don't want to see their lives happy and quiet. As grievous as my mother and I suffer, I will have their lives ruined." Rael's growl again makes Bella feel afraid that her husband will lose control if one day he meets the woman and child of Haris' mistress.
"I pray you won't meet them." Hope Bella keeps Rael confused.
"Why is that? How do you expect the opposite?" Rael asked curiously.
"Yes, so you don't make a mistake. Destroying someone's life is an evil deed. I don't want you to be a bad person." Bella looked at Rael with confidence.
"But your prayer may not be realized, because I have a picture of the woman and her child. Although it was an old photo but some of my manners could definitely easily get it. Look at the picture!" Clearly Rael showed Bella a photograph.
Bella looked at the photo with a shocked expression. Suddenly he was silent and glued for a moment. Even when Rael handed the photo to her, she was not welcome at all.
"Whose picture is this?" Bella asked Rael. He looked at the man. Without feeling her tears flowing down her cheeks.
"This is a picture of the woman and her child. You suddenly cry? There's something wrong with this picture." Confused Rael finds Bella's reaction.
"Are you sure?" Ask Bella again.
"Of course I'm sure, because it was my mother who found this photo before she died. Even this photo was found next to the mother who had fallen limp after drinking a bottle of sleeping pills." Obviously Rael made Bella cover her mouth with her hands. He was shocked and felt so distrustful of the reality spoken by Rael.
"There's no way this woman is your father Rael's mistress!" Bella who stood up from her seat. He nodded to get that reality. His tears are still flowing. Even a little suction he tried to hold so that his speech was more clearly heard when spoken.
"Why do you say that? Why is your reaction so overreacting? It confused me, Bel, what's going on?" Asked Rael who put the photo back into the wooden box and chose to stand as well. He tried to calm Bella who was getting sobbing.
SERIATE.....
