Marrying Mother's Mother's Mother
Bahs 34. Input and Enlightenment
A black Pajero Sport has been parked neatly in the yard of Barata Wirayudha's house. A handsome man in a dark blue shirt came down from the car, spreading a smile at the security line. Kevin is the assistant owner. He arrives to pick up Bella and escort the mistress to her new campus.
From the direction of the main door, Bella looks out by holding Issabell. The little girl who jumped up in excitement while laughing looked at Mommy who looked beautiful with a casual look. Peach colored plain t-shirts and favorite pencil jeans.
“Mommy goes, yes. Icca don't be naughty at home,” say goodbye Bella, bowing. He aligns his face with the face of the little girl. Two kisses dabbed on the cheeks of the kingpin of his beloved daughter, provoking laughter of the little girl who refused to take off the grip on her index finger.
“Bye, Mom..” Issabell waved his hand with a small laugh. That little laugh a few minutes ago was a whimper. Yes, Issabell refused to let go of her mommy, she hugged Bella's legs and didn't let her step away.
However, stubborn Issabell softens when a cute doll is promised Bella.
“Bye, Icca..,” Bella also replied to her daughter's hand.
A shy smile is etched on Bella's face when she meets face to face for the third time with the handsome assistant.
Bella nodded her head, trying to be friendly. He was officially acquainted at the first meeting. However, yesterday Bara specifically introduced them back. Makes Kevin not believe. A wife who doesn't even know the address of her husband or a husband who lives at home with her sister-in-law.
“Log in, Mistress.” Kevin let Bella in the car.
“Do not call Madam. Just call Bella. I'm not that old,” reject Bella.
“Alright,” said Kevin smiling.
“Sorry in advance .. I did not know that Mrs his wife Mr. Bara.” Kevin tried to open the conversation, apologizing for his error a few weeks ago.
Anyone would not have expected, would even put out the same expression upon hearing Bara introduce Bella as a wife, not Rissa as had been the gossip in the company. Anyone knows that Rissa is Bara's lover and they have a daughter together. So rumors circulating, although Bara never assented. However, there was not once any rejection from his lips.
“Nothing,” sahut Bella brief.
Don't want to talk too much that will eventually creep everywhere. She should also be ashamed as a wife even settles in her own company.
“Before living in Surabaya?” ask Kevin. It feels irate with the awkward situation that will be created during the journey from the Bara residence to the campus.
“Ya, Sir,” Bella hesitate what to call. Only that call came to his mind.
It was seen that he was breathing in relief when the assistant who did not protest or refuse.
The trip to campus feels long, both choose silence and focus with their respective minds. Maybe because Bella is also not used to it, the handsome man next to her still feels foreign.
After taking care of all the administration on campus, Kevin can breathe a sigh of relief. Bella also talks more. The journey home will melt more, not as much as before.
“Pak, Rissa's sister has been working in the company for a long time?” ask Bella suddenly. Trying to find out more about the brother who until now more closed himself.
“Since college. It is not that Mr. Bara personally asked directly to include Rissa as an employee at BW Group.”
“I don't follow the story too much. I was a kid when Rissa left Surabaya,” said Bella.
“Sister Rissa has lived in my husband's place for a long time?” bella asked, scraping further. I don't know, he just wants to know more about his brother. Not about her husband. Bella felt Rissa changed a lot, not like Rissa had known before. During her stay at Bara's house, Rissa doesn't want to talk much.
“Not long after Pak Bara returned to Jakarta, Rissa brought Pak Bara to stay at his house. With Issabell too,” explained Kevin.
“Pak Kevin also know about Issabell?” ask Bella suddenly.
“Slightly,” the answer lies.
Kevin knows everything. More clear knowing than Bara. Before Bara returned to Jakarta, the company was under the leadership of Kevin. He knew clearly, what kind of woman Bara had entrusted to him at that time.
“Sister Rissa has a boyfriend?” ask Bella again.
Bella's question surprised Kevin. The man immediately stepped on the brake pedal suddenly. Bella had to push forward, almost hitting the dashboard.
“Sorry," said Kevin, feeling guilty.
“It's okay,” replied Bella trying to calm down.
The effects of surprise, questions that have not been answered are forgotten. Kevin can breathe a sigh of relief, at least for now he still has a chance to avoid. Let the boss take care of everything. He does not need to interfere with everything that is not his realm. An assistant seems to only take care of work-related matters, not the personal of his boss.

Reynaldi Pratama Residence.
As she got out of the car, Bella stared in disbelief at the luxurious building before her eyes.
“You're admiring your husband's work?” ask Bara suddenly. Surprising Bella who was still stunned staring at the terraced house with a modern classic feel.
“Hah?” Bella gawked, still unsure of her hearing.
“That was the result of the cold hand of Barata Wirayudha,” Bara said pointing to the magnificent building in front of him.
“If you like it, we can build a house next to it. There is still empty land.” Bara gave me an idea.
Seeing his wife did not answer, Bara immediately took Bella in. At the entrance, Pram was already welcoming them.
“Hai, Pram .. when to return from Austria?" greet Bara, hugging and patting Pram's back tightly.
“Two weeks ago. How are you?” Pram asked back.
“As seen. Oh yeah, meet my wife Bella.” Bara.
“Oh, you didn't invite me. I did not know that you had let go of your youth,” said Pram, mocked Bara. Their last meeting only discussed work, not offending personal life at all.
“Reynaldi Pratama,” said Pram, mentioning his name when shaking hands with Bella.
“The rest of the friends, some are already inside, Bar,” Pram continued.
“How it turned out. Are you satisfied with your home Pram?” ask Bara.
“My wife likes it,” said Pram briefly. Right now Pram's eyes are going around, looking for Kailla who had not looked at all.
“I stay first, I have to find my wife. Please enjoy the party,” pamit Pram.

Pram was smiling looking at Kailla, as Bara approached her.
“Pram, since when did you become a woman lover?” Bara patted Pram's shoulder suddenly, startling the host who was smiling alone like a madman just from staring at his wife from a distance.
“How about yourself? Since when did your taste change?” pram asked, setting his eyes on Bella.
“I heard many stories of your wife from Dave.” Bara said while chuckling.
“Women are hard to understand, Bar. Another on the lips, another on the heart,” whispered Pram laughing.
“It looks like you've finished conquering your wife. I'm just gonna ask for his secret.”
“Our wife is of the same age. Who knows I can get input and enlightenment,” continued Bara again.
“Cannot be equated, Bar. Your wife and my wife will be different characters, how to conquer it must be different,” Pram joked.
“What type of wife is your wife, Pram?” tanya Bara smiled nosily.
“Type timid but willing,” whispered Pram, chuckled at Bara.
The conversation of the two was interspersed with laughter occasionally staring at their two wives who were also chatting.
“Bar, take a look at those wives. By looking at her smile I already know what my wife's brain is?” said Pram, staring at Bara who was astonished.
“You mean, Pram?” Bara can't guess anything. He only saw Pram's wife whispering to Bella, then laughing with her mouth shut.
“That means my wife is teaching your wife to make your head dizzy,” said Pram again laughing.
“If you don't believe me, just leave your wife in my house for a week. I'm not sure, you still recognize him,” Pram said.
“Hahaha. Last time I saw your wife was when she was a kid. Seematku ... who was his old assistant .. em his name,” said Bara hesitate.
“Donny.”
“Yup! Donny often complains of his mischief.” Bara said while remembering his past.
“Sometimes like to come with your in-laws to the office, right? Until entering the meeting room,” said Bara remembering the times before he moved to Surabaya.
“But ... how can you conquer that senakal wife?” tanya Bara was curious.
Pram whispered in Bara's ear, then both laughed. Bara and Pram are best friends. Even Pram also knew the former wife of Bara. Their company used to work together.

Returning from Pram's residence, in the evening.
After putting Issabell to bed, Bella returned to her room. The ember who had prepared with his bully sense gave a smile as Bella's shadow appeared behind the door. He had been counting down, waiting for the seconds his wife fell to him. Either way, he should get Bella as soon as possible. He is worried about Rissa who can threaten the integrity of his household at any time.
“Hopefully I can follow the success of Pram,” he said in his heart.
“Why smile, Mas?” ask Bella, astonished. He was already lying on the side of Bara, putting the bolster as a barrier.
“No, it's just that you look beautiful tonight,” said Bara reasoned. Looking at his wife smiling.
Just now Bella will respond to Bara's words, suddenly the lights in the room are off. He smiled immediately in the dark. He waited a while, but there was no reaction from his wife.
“Bell, are you okay?” ask Bara wonder. His wife's reaction was different from that of Pram's wife as her best friend had told her.
“Ya, why Mas?” ask Bella calmly.
“You are not afraid of dark?” ask Bara again.
“No, Mas. Used to live in a rented often turn off the lights. Especially if you don't have the money to pay the electricity bill. We can sleep for days without lights,” replied Bella, sad to remember her childhood while living in rented.
“Mas ... afraid of the dark? For a moment I find a candle,” continued Bella, has risen from her sleep. With the help of cell phone light, he was already preparing to leave the room looking for candles.
“Bell, you are not afraid. Dark like this many demons haunt, loh,” Bara said again.
“I fear you more than the devil, Mas,” replied Bella annoyed. He does not understand the purpose and purpose of Bara saying things that do not make sense.
Bara can only stroke the chest and curse in the heart.

Thank ye.
Who misses Om Pram and Kailla
