Marrying Mother's Mother's Mother
Chapter 151: Please, Bell

That night, Bara finally brings together Issabell and Roland's parents in the hospital. Issabell would not come down from Bara's sling, the little girl wriggling spoiled around her daddy's neck.

“Icca down yes, dear,” pinta Bella, still trying to persuade. Tidying up Issabell's messy bangs.

Issabell shook his head with teary eyes. “Ya already if you do not want,” said Bella later.

Mama Roland who had been staring since without daring to approach, could only tear apart. Issabell was their first grandchild whom he had never known. If only Roland had told me a long time ago, maybe things wouldn't be like this.

“Is Icca fussy?” ask Mama Roland to Bella.

“No Aunt, her son is kind and obedient. Rarely troublesome,” said Bella, choosing to sit next to a sick bed. Mama Roland looked healthy and excited, despite the sadness imprinted on her smile.

The woman's gaze turned on Bella's large belly covered in a dress. “Pregnant how many months?” tanyanya slow.

“Five months, Aunt.”

Slowly the woman rubbed Bella's stomach with trembling hands. “May be healthy until the lahiran. Everything was launched,” said Mama Roland, smiling.

“Amin, Aunt.”

“Nak, I'm picking up my grandson. Please think like your own daughter. I've heard all about Roland. How the life of his biological mother,” said the woman bowed squeezing her finger. She could do nothing but hope and ask Bella.

He knew he had no right to ask for more. Seeing her grandson grow up healthy alone, was already quite happy for her. Dare not ask to be able to meet at any time.

“If you are visiting Surabaya, can you allow us to visit Icca again?” ask Mama Roland expectantly.

Bella smiles. “If my husband doesn't mind, I don't mind either, Auntie.”

Roland's mother's gaze turned to the three men who were surrounding Issabell. Roland and his father were busy persuading Issabell to come down from Bara's sling. However, the little girl was completely unwilling, instead immersing her face in the recess of her daddy's neck. Clutching tightly to Bara's neck, a minute later crying loudly.

“No mauuuuu!!” reject Issabell, yell out loud.

“Mau puyang ...” Continue Issabell again.

Roland's heart was filled at every moment feeling the rejection from his own daughter. It was not easy to accept, but he could not force it either. For Issabell, Bara and Bella are his family, his parents. This was the price she had to pay for having abandoned Rissa in a state of pregnancy.

The male Netra silently looked at Bella, there was a sense of warmth at every moment looking at Bella with her big belly. Bella's smile while with Issabell filling the screen of her phone, now completely affected her mind.

Without Roland noticing, Bara was watching him. The man who was holding Issabell was holding back the jealousy that was seeping in his chest. It would be like to destroy Roland right now if he did not remember his family and Roland's parents being with them.

The day after meeting Roland's parents, Bara brought his wife and daughter back to Jakarta. That was after making sure that the condition of Mother Rosma can be left for a while. As planned, after taking care of everything, Bella returned to Surabaya. Until now, Bara has not been able to persuade Bella to change her decision.

Three days after returning to Jakarta, Bella finally decided to meet Brenda. Perhaps it's better to meet in person than to gather a lot of vague prejudices about Bara's relationship with his past.

That afternoon, with Bara delivered, Bella finally paid a visit to the hospital where her husband's ex-wife was treated.

As soon as the two entered the treatment room, it was welcomed by Rania who hugged Bara tightly.

“Dad ...” The girl looked at Bella. Then looked at Brenda who was lying down grimacing on top of the hospital bed. Brenda smiled and nodded.

“Mommy ...” greet Rania, switch hug Bella. There was awkwardness created, but the girl had to do it. Mommy Brenda will be happy if she also appreciates Bella as much as she appreciates Bara.

Didn't seem both of Brenda's and Stella's parents there. In the room there was only Rania alone, accompanying her mommy.

“Bell, I'm out bringing Rania forward. You can chat with Brenda both,” whispered Bara, did not greet Brenda at all, because indeed since the divorce their relationship can not be said to be good.

“Iya Mas.” Bella nodded, looking at Bara who was holding Rania out of the room.

Slowly Bella walked closer. A warm smile greeted the woman who now looked a lot changed compared to their last meeting. While in Bara's office, Brenda looks beautiful with a body like a Spanish guitar running like a professional model. Her long hair was beautifully cut.

But at the moment, things are much different. No longer was that long hair, changing hair that was only one cm long from the scalp. That beautiful body was now just a bone wrapped in skin. The pretty face he had seen a few months ago, was not left.

Even Bella barely recognized him anymore. The cheekbones protruding with my eyes sunken into it look reddened and glazed staring at it. Not to mention the medical device that was stuck on his body.

“Sore Bell,” said Brenda, forcing a smile in between the pain that afflicted her.

“Sit Bell,” her door pointed to an empty seat beside the bed.

“Mbak Stella contacted me a few days ago, she said Mbak Brenda wanted to see me,”.

Brenda nodded weakly.

“Before, thank you for allowing your husband to help me and my family all this time,” Brenda said with tears slumped down her pale cheeks. With trembling, the hand with the infusion hose stuck it trying to reach Bella's hand.

“Thanks. Not every wife can be as golden-hearted as you. I'm really ashamed of you, but I have no other choice, Bell.”

“Iya Mbak.” Bella hurriedly grabbed Brenda's hand and grasped it tightly.

If Brenda is ashamed of him for hesitating otherwise Bella as hit by a big stone, feeling ashamed of herself all this time is bad to think of Brenda and her husband. When others praised her kindness behind her back, she quarreled with her husband just because of this.

“I never asked, but I know my family must have troubled your husband a lot, including my daughter Rania,”. The tears are flowing.

“Already Mbak. Mas Bara sincerely did it,” said Bella.

“I know ... we are together not just for a moment. I know your husband clearly.”

“You're lucky to get a husband like Bara. He is a loyal man .. Behind his angry and jealous attitude. I was late to realize and was not grateful when I was still his wife.” The sobs are getting clearer.

“Hopefully you are not like me, sorry when all has happened.”

The woman stared at the ceiling of the room. Recalling his household trip with Bara. Bara is the same hard figure as him. Every little thing is always in trouble to be big. Bara is very jealous, can go berserk at any time at the man who approaches her.

And finally ended up fighting without a solution. Brenda chose to leave instead of finishing it with a cold head. And Bara did the same thing, choosing to busy himself with work or even his friends.

Until finally, he re-engaged a forbidden relationship with his father Rania. A momentary comfort resulting from escape from his household problems. Which finally made his household and Bara destroyed.

The two fell silent to each other, until Brenda finally opened her voice.

“Bell, can you help me one last time. I know your husband won't be able to make this decision. Only you can help me.”

The pregnant woman raised her eyes. Waiting for the next sentence that Brenda would say to him.

“Actually I am ashamed, but I have no other choice.” Brenda looks burdened when saying it.

“If ... I no longer exist .. can you keep Rania for me? Can I leave my daughter to you?” brenda asked with a trembling voice.

It is hard to let go of a daughter who was born with a struggle, loved with all her soul to others who do not even have blood relations. However, Brenda had no choice. Together with Bara and Bella is the safest and most comfortable place for Rania.

“Mbak ...” Bella could not answer. Moreover, seeing the tears of Brenda flowing profusely, there was a sense of haru forced her to come to shed tears.

“Together you guys will be better. Both my parents are old, will not be able to care for and educate my daughter.”

“Stella .. I know, I still have Stella, but one day Stella will get married, I don't know how her husband's family will be. Will accept Rania, as well as you and Bara. Together with you Rania will feel having a whole family.”

Brenda seemed to sigh at once grimacing in pain.

“I don't want Rania's biological father to check on my daughter's life. If it was with you, that man would not dare to disturb Rania. Bara will keep Rania.”

“Rania's biological father is not a good man, he's a prisoner. I don't want Rania to be burdened because of her father's background. All this time I've been trying to hide Rania's whereabouts from her. I beg you to help me this time, Bell.”

Bella budging. Unable to give any answer.

“You are also a mother, you will definitely understand how I feel, Bell. I beg.”
