Bara swallowed the saliva as she re-entered the mother-in-law's care room. Eyes reddened and bulged following the movements of his feet. Yes, Bella stared intently at him, even without the sound of scolding, Bara was sure that his wife was ready to explode.
It's just that Bella is still keeping her wife as a husband in front of Mother Rosma, otherwise Bara believes the eruption after the eruption will not be inevitable, launching hot magma ready to destroy it.
Walk slowly, eroding the distance with a simple gown pregnant woman. Bara dropped his burly body on the sofa, right next to his wife. Soundless, expressionless kept his worry in his heart. At least, as long as Mother Rosmah is still awake, her life is still safe. Bella won't roar and show her fangs. Won't tear his body apart.
When a male lion marries a cute female rabbit, that's where the king of the forest loses his powers. Even to speak is not capable. All it can do is obey and become a sweet male lion.
“Sayang.” The man whispered softly. Light and slow, while linking his fingers to the clothes of his wife with half force. Bella is not willing to end a war that has not yet begun.
“Do not try to seduce me, Mas. Your mistake this time is unforgivable,” grumbled Bella.
“Bell, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to lie to you. It's just ...”
“Lying remains lying, Mas. Whether you mean it or not, it all happened. Preferably, Mas returned to Jakarta, continue your drama and lies!” cut off Bella, with a face filled with anger.
I let out a heavy breath. His job now cannot be said to be easy. To soften Bella's heart, it must take a long struggle.
“Brenda coma. Yesterday morning, Rania called me, Bell. I didn't want to burden you, so I decided to find out first before sharing this story with you.” Bara explained. Hoping there was still a chance for him, after breaking Bella's trust for the umpteenth time.
“I have no problem with Mbak Brenda. I want to help, I want to visit, I want to take care of him, I don't mind, but I don't like all your lies, Mas.”
“Should have been honest from the start. So it doesn't disappoint me.” Bella released her finger link. Very upset with Bara's attitude.
Rosmah's mother who saw the two whispering on the sofa, crasaks since earlier, could already read if something was wrong with her daughter and daughter-in-law. The frown that adorned Bella's face answered everything.
“Ehemmm! Bell, can you please buy mother bread in the lobby,” pinta Ibu Rosma, with a look to weld it. Use this method to have time to talk from heart to heart with his daughter-in-law.
“Iya Bu.”
Bella did not protest, immediately went to look for her wallet. Seeing Bella rummaging through her handbag, Bara swiftly pulled out her purse from her pants pocket. The man knew his wife had lost her wallet again, which she had somehow put down.
“Bring my wallet, Bell,” said Bara, handing his wife a black leather wallet.
Grabbing Bara's wallet without speaking, Bella steps out of the room. “Bu, Bella go first,” farewell, glancing towards her husband.
After Bella's departure, Rosmah's mother called Bara. Asking the man to sit by his bed.
“What's up, Bar?” ask Rosmah's mother. Look closely, ready to wait for an answer.
A rough sigh indicates how hard it is to open her domestic problems to others, even though it is her own mother-in-law.
“Bella is mad at me because I'm seeing Brenda and Rania again, Mom.” The man opened the story. There was a regret that was difficult to express from his tone.
Rosmah's mother shook her head. “Didn't you say it often, try to be open. Bella is still childish at times, but there are times when she will mature and understand your past. Try to be honest with him about all your past. One day Bella will understand,” explained Ms. Rosma.
“Mom can't help. Only you can solve it, Bar.”
Embers downcast. At the age of not young anymore, again have to deal with the complexity of household problems that are not inexhaustible. Sometimes tired, but what can he do.
Every household has its problems. Putting two heads together with two different thoughts on the same side dish is not easy. Moreover, he and Bella are adrift by a fairly far age, the way of thinking is also much different. How to look at a problem from a different angle.
Having to give up a lot, both himself and Bella, can only unite all differences of views. And so far, Bara is aware that he has a character that is quite hard and easily provoked by emotions. This is also the initial trigger for the failure of his household first with Brenda.
In his position, always requires his wife to be able to think mature as expected. And of course from the side of Bella, want her husband to be able to understand her feelings that are still in age need of understanding and more attention.
Even later Bara just understood, for his wife the statement of love through speech is no less important than the statement of love shown by deeds.

After conducting a series of examinations, Rosmah's mother was allowed to return home. Bella, who was still beating the drums of war, could not speak at all. Choose to sit away from each bar approaching.
Even at home, the situation is still the same, there is no change. All persuasions and seduces thrown by Bara, repeat the apology and explain many times, the results remain the same. Bella still doesn't make up.
Two days in Surabaya, Bara business can be said to be in vain. His relationship with his wife has not improved. Although in front of Mother Rosmah, Bella can smile, but when behind, Bella will do the movement of mouth cover and ear cover. Unapproachable, even sleeping Bara is only allowed to look at his wife's back.
That afternoon as usual, Bara would accompany Issabell playing in the courtyard. His little girl likes to play running around. While Bella sat staring from a distance while rubbing her large stomach, occasionally invite her baby to talk.
Seeing his wife sitting alone, Bara again took the opportunity. His feet were just about to step closer to his wife, suddenly the phone in his pants pocket shook. The man frowned when he found Stella's name appearing on his screen.
A little upset, but he can't do anything. “Iya Ste, can anyone help?” bara asked, as soon as the black phone stuck to her ear. His eyes could not see his wife.
“Mas, can I visit the hospital? Brother Brenda just regained consciousness from the coma, asked to meet with Mas Bara and Mbak Bella,” Stella's story.
The man was stunned on the spot, before finally answering. “Talk to my wife only. I cannot make a decision,” Bara said, walking closer to Bella.
When she was a few steps behind, Bella turned to her with a question mark.
“Bell, Stella wants to talk to you. Can?” tanya Bara, put her cell phone to the wife.
Bella who knew nothing, just stared in silence.
“If you don't want to, it's okay. I will reject it, Bell,” Bara continued. Just as the man was about to tell Stella, Bella held her hand. Pulling her husband to sit by her side.
“What's up?” bella asked with a silent mouth. Bara shook his head, not knowing what Brenda wanted to meet him and Bella.
