Bara was surprised, still holding the tiny hand of his little daughter. He was just about to walk into a fast food restaurant, but suddenly found his waist tightly hugged by someone from behind. Feeling the impact just from the waist down, Bara could guess that the one who hugged him was not an adult.
“Kakak!” crybaby Issabell.
Bara turned around, surprised to see this almost ten-year-old figure he had never met standing not too far from where they stood.
“Rania,” greet Bara, after self-control. Finding her daughter, Rania who suddenly hugged her waist.
“Rania, let's go home!” invite mature women who are hugging the map with a hospital logo, trying to keep their distance. Refusing to approach even this time the woman threw away a glance.
Yes, it is Brenda. Barata Wirayudaha's former wife, more precisely the arch-enemy who until now still beat the drums of war when the two met.
“No, Mommy, Rania want to be with Daddy for a while,” pinta Rania, half begging.
“No! We go home now.” Brenda took her daughter home. He walked closer, but he threw his eyes to the side. Not looking at Bara at all. Divorce really makes them enemies forever. There was no greeting or just a smile, even Brenda did not want to look at Bara.
“Daddy, help me. Rania still wants to be with Daddy,” Pinta Rania, when dragged by the mother. The girl's shout grew increasingly smaller, ending up lost behind the exit.
Bara just stared, not reacting at all. Stifled to see Brenda and Rania's back disappear.
His first meeting with the ex, after their last breakup before the court. Nearly ten knew it was gone, Brenda had not changed. It's still the same Brenda.
I smiled, I don't know what made him smile. Has he learned to weld their unhealthy relationship that ended up not as expected. Or his heart has moved on or I don't know. He himself does not understand his feelings at this time.
For all I know, right now her life is only for the woman who is carrying her baby, who is resting on the top floor of this building. And the tiny figure that was tightly gripping his fingers.
“Come, we eat. Daddy is hungry,” invite Bara waltz into the restaurant.
Throughout his lunch, Bara's focus was divided. His encounter with Brenda had a little bit of a distraction to his mind. Although the woman did not speak to him a word, not even considering his presence, glancing at him did not.
“Icca, Daddy bribed you, huh?” bargain Bara, take over the spoon from her daughter's hand. The rice and corn soup in front of her daughter was still full, only to be torn apart by her little girl who was not used to eating by herself.
Icca nodded and opened her mouth wide. It didn't take long, all the contents of the plate had already switched into Issabell's stomach.
As fast as lightning the two went upstairs, meeting Bella who was just waiting for the nanny. Issabell's tongue stuck out, tasting a lollipop. Together with Bara, he enters the treatment room and greets Bella.
“Mami,” greet Issabell with a cheerful smile. Raising his hands up, hoping his nanny would take him to sit on the bed.
“Bell, you haven't eaten?” bara asked, staring at the plate that was still untouched.
“This, Ma'am,” Bara thrust a bag of food he bought below.
“I'll take care of Madam,” drive Bara, ask Issabell's nanny to step aside.
I pulled the chair, getting closer. Take a plate from the top of the tray and stir with a spoon.
“Bell, I bribe,” Bara said, smiling.
“But I have no appetite, Mas,” rejects Bella, holding the spoon waiting outside her lips.
“Eat just a little. Poor thing inside, he also needs food,” persuaded Bara.
Bella kept shaking her head, looking at her husband, full of love.
"Mas, just sit here," pinta Bella, patting the empty spot on the hospital bed.
Issabell who was sitting near Bella's feet smiled looking at the two. Scattered to sit on Bara's lap.
"Why be spoiled like this, Bell?" bara asked in wonder, embracing Bella's shoulder.
"Mas, why was it so long for lunch?" bella asked, leaning her head on Bara's shoulder.
Usually Bella will avoid physical contact with him especially when there are others with them.
"Mas, why was it so long ago?" ask Bella again.
"Icca ate it long ago. I have to feed him, then he can finish my lunch" Bara explained.
The three's affection was stopped, when a nurse came in, changing the infusion bottle. Bara immediately brought Issabell down, letting the nurse examine Bella carefully.
"Sus, when can I go home?" ask Bella.
"Prophey, Mom, we'll wait for the doctor. Mom's condition is much better, just got in here pale."
"Mas, I'm just gonna go home, okay? I'm fine, "whimper Bella. They are uncomfortable and comfortable sleeping in the hospital. Moreover, he felt his condition was fine.
Bara approached, trying to calm his wife.
"Rel ...."
Bara's sentence was cut off, the cell phone in his pants pocket rang.
"Mirror ...."
Bara muttered, staring at the phone in wonder. Her memories of Brenda, filled her brain again.
"Bell, I'll pick up the phone first, yes," Bara said, intending to leave the room. Not bothering the nurse who was checking on Bella's condition.
"Yes, Ste."
Bara was already standing outside the room, turning his back to the door.
"Coal Mas? Can I ask you to come home?" stella asked in a panic.
"I'm sorry, before that it was troublesome for Mas, but I really can't leave the office right now."
"What's up, Ste?" ask Bara wonder.
"I don't know what the problem is. But my father and mother called me repeatedly, asking me to go home. I have an important meeting."
"What do you mean, Ste? Try explaining?" ask Bara.
"Rania, Mum. Brother Brenda seems to be rampaging and injuring Rania. Pity the boy for Mas Bara" Stella told.
Bara massaged his temple, not knowing how to. Lean against the wall, thinking about what to do. She is Bella's husband. Regardless of love or not, but he can not be careless behind his wife.
Bara re-entered the treatment room with a shunt step, approaching Bella.
"Bell," call Bara, bewildered.
