MARRY A BEAUTIFUL LECTURER
NON-SYNCHRONOUS

...🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺...

Haris sees Bella's suddenly pale face and understands that Bella is not ready to tell Rael the truth.

"Please keep that word of yours Rael! Why did you leave Bella so late at night? What is your responsibility as a husband? Is that how Dad taught you?" Haris's sarcasm made Rael cluck and smile slanted.

"What's? Try repeating again! Your teachings? Instead I did exactly what you used to do to my mother. Don't mind it for the sake of another woman!" Rael exclaimed with a tinge of emotion.

"You can be angry with Dad, but don't let you vent to Bella. She's your wife!" Sharis gave understanding to her son.

"Why can't it? I did just that because he was the son of a prostitute who had taken the father away from me and Mom. I'll make her tormented by this marriage! I'm gonna make her feel the pain that mom's been feeling all this time!" Pressing Rael further sharpened his gaze to Bella. Bella did not expect that Rael would openly hate her in front of others. Even in front of his own father-in-law. Whether because of the pregnancy hormone or what, Bella felt so hurt by Rael's speech that was able to stab her heart.

"Don't bring up your grudge it's Rael! I don't like you being a mean and cruel man! I should have told you the truth long ago, but it's okay, you should listen to me now!" Strictly Haris wanted to explain all those misunderstandings to Rael. But his son even groaned and returned to smiling sideways.

"Don't tell another lie. I know that you must have conspired to ruin my life. I won't let it!" Sarcas Rael who then stepped into the room without listening to the words of Haris who kept calling his name.

'Who really ruined a man's life? Him or me?' bella murmured in her heart. He immediately wiped away the tears that accidentally fell down his cheeks.

"I'm sorry Rael ya Bella, I should have been tougher on him a long time ago. He would not argue like that." Haris said softly looking at his only son-in-law.

"It's okay Dad, I understand how Rael feels. Perhaps it was because he was not so experienced, that it made him a bit selfish and did not want to listen to other people's explanations." Bella replied with a forced smile that she made so that Haris would slightly reduce her guilt.

'Inexperienced how? What kind of man do you think I am? You see, when Rael muttered in his heart and wanted to rebuke Bella, his heart still felt alone. He has no power to continue his hardship.

Bella put the tray right on the table. A glass of milk he gulped down so that he would not feel hungry again before meeting Rael in the room.

"Dad, I'll go to the room first." Pamit Bella who started to step up the stairs. While Rael who was quietly standing on the wall next to the upper stairs, immediately quickly entered the room so that Bella did not catch her wet.

"Then what about your fruit salad?" Haris asked as he looked at the salad on the table that was not touched at all.

"Daddy spend it, I'm full after drinking that milk. I went upstairs, Dad. Don't sleep too late." Said Bella who had stepped into the room.

Bella approached Rael and stripped him of the attributes her husband was wearing. Rael's sleep seemed not disturbed in the slightest, even though Bella only left the shirt and boxer pants that she wore. After putting Rael's shoes in place, Bella covers Rael with a blanket. So that the husband does not get cold and sleep well.

Bella stared intently at Rael's face, without feeling her tears fall considering Rael's cruelty this morning. To make himself feel afraid, even just to tell the presence of their baby.

"Sorry Rael, I'm too scared. Hix... Hicks..." Lirih Bella while slightly sobbing. He decided to sleep next to Rael and forced his eyes to shut.

But Bella does not know that Rael is actually just pretending to sleep. He chose to be quiet and watch Bella's actions that were very attentive to him.

'Why should Bella, the daughter of that woman? I love her so much and now also hate her at once.' Rael murmured in her heart. He was confused by his feelings now, to be honest Rael did not have the heart to hurt Bella, his favorite wife.

As Bella spoke softly, Rael was able to listen to her very clearly. Even as Bella sobbed, making her heart seem to be flinching. After feeling that Bella had fallen asleep next door, Rael opened her eyes and looked to the side. The girl turned her back with her shoulders still shaking. Rael knows that he is holding back tears, only that Rael does not want to show his attention to Bella, his ego is more important.

'Sorry Bel, it's just that fate has me hurting you. I had to avenge the pain my mother felt before she died. You have to pay for it on behalf of your mother.' Rael's inner heart tries to be sure that she doesn't hesitate to hurt Bella.

That morning Rael woke up when Bella was ready to change her clothes after taking a shower.

"Good morning." Sapa Bella who tries to stay ordinary and hopes that Rael will change again as she did yesterday-yesterday.

"Don't be pretentious to greet me with that cheap smile of yours. I won't be tempted!" Sarcas Rael who got out of bed and went straight to the bathroom. Passing Bella who was only silent when her treatment returned made Bella's heart hurt.

'If you knew he was here. You will no longer be angry with me. But I am afraid that if you take your anger out on our baby. I try to be ordinary for her. Please don't hurt me any deeper! or not, I'll leave if your words and actions I can't tolerate anymore.' Bella's mind wistfully. He felt his flat stomach, feeling the life he had in his stomach.

In the bathroom. Rael clucked his head towards the mirror. Bak had angels and demons on both his shoulders.  They seemed to be arguing, some were supporting Rael as for cursing every gesture Rael showed Bella. Rael was a little frustrated considering her heart was not at all in sync with the selfish desires she wanted right now.

SERIATE.....
