BELLA POVS
One month ago ...
As usual, it was raining ....
Lucas sat cross-legged in front of a large glass window, watching the rainwater stub against the glass. The circles carry rainbow colors when exposed to the touch of light from the room.
“It's hot tea.” I approached her, giving her a cup of warmth.
“Thanks, Ella.”
I fixed my hairdo and swiped it with a cepol on my head. Sit on Lucas' lap and watch the rain, as well as the city's shining sights. The dense cloud overcasts of the day forced street lights and vehicles to turn on the lights early.
Lucas sipped hot tea, occasionally blowing his steam to cool slightly and not injure the tongue. I watched him with a smile, Lucas was so attractive in my eyes. Whatever he did made me love him more deeply. Even the way he drank tea also made me gobsmacked. Hah, it seems like I've really been made crazy by it.
“Why see me like that, Ella?” Lucas tightened his hold.
“Because I love you, Lucas. I don't want to lose a second of good times with you.” I wrapped my arms around the base of his arms while my head was enjoying the rhythm of his heart beating regularly.
Lucas just shut up and stroked my head. Enjoying the togetherness that exists between us today. Although silent and silent without words, in fact we can understand each other how much love that pervades in our hearts.
“I'll love you forever, Ella.” Lucas pecked my head.
“Iya, me too, Lucas.”
Lucas lowered his head, he kissed me. Warming my lips, the fragrant taste of jasmine tea burst into the oral cavity as we exchanged saliva. Shaking the beauty of all the charm of romance between the two of us.
“If only a figure of speech could reveal how much I love you Lucas.” I lifted my body, sat down to embrace her.
“Not to be disclosed, Ella. Just take care of your heart for me. Don't let the air go out, don't let the sprinkling disappear.” Lucas stroked my face gently and I savored him like a spoiled sweet cat. I enjoy the warmth of this caress, I really don't want to lose this caress.
Once again we hugged each other, fused our foreheads, exchanged a light kiss, and also a warm laugh.

The rain had stopped at this time, leaving little details on the leaves .. I stopped my daydreams that recalled our togetherness because my mother called me from below.
“BELLA!!”
“Ya, Ma?!!” I hurried to answer and went down.
“Mama's company shopping, we buy clothes and good food,” take her.
I raised my eyebrows, the tumben once my mother took me with her away. She usually prefers to go with her friends or to the bar.
“Quick change your clothes!”
“Good.” I thought it wouldn't hurt for us to go both ways. It's been a long time since our relationship has been strained, maybe in this way I can please and repay her with the money Lucas gave me.
Lucas did often give me money for ‘saw’ when I was not working for him because I love him sincerely. I save money every day, I'm determined to use the money as best I can. In addition to the tuition and daily living, I kept saving the rest.
“Quick donk! This girl catapulted once?!” Mom followed me into the room.
“Iya, Mother. For a moment,”, I asked him to wait patiently.
I was in contact with Lucas because I was worried about him. How can I go for a walk and have a good meal with my mother, while my loved one is languishing beside her critical mother's body?
“Mama wait in front!”
“Iya, Ma.”
BELL:
Call me Lucas.
I'm worried about you.
BELL:
Lucas will all
doin' fine.
I took a deep breath, Lucas did not raise my call. He also did not reply to my chat. Finally, I heavily stepped into the online taxi that was waiting for us.
“Mal P, Sir,” says mom gives instructions.
“Good.”
During the trip I chose silence and my mother chose to focus on her phone screen. Her appearance was like a little different now, more beautiful, more elegant, and more luxurious. I glanced at the bag, whether it was real or not, but as far as I could tell a bag with the brand he*mes could cost up to hundreds of millions. What have you been doing lately? Where did all that luxury come from?
“Come Bella we take a walk. What do you want to eat and buy? Mama will buy everything for you?” Mama took my hand, although for a moment I felt so happy about it.
“Anything, Ma,” I replied happy.
“Crapes only, Ma.”
“OK, Mama buy it, you wait a minute.” Mama rushed to the food stall selling crapes, buying the most expensive ones with ice cream toppings and almonds. Not to forget the chocolate sauce and rasberry decorate the top.
“Tara!! We ate together there.” Mama took me to sit down to enjoy the crapes. The sweetness was sucked deep into my heart, I had not felt the beauty of love from a mother for a long time and this really moved me.
A sweet smile continues to grow on the beautiful face of my mother. The same smile he had when he first took me to the zoo, I was 7 years old, just before my father died. That smile is what I have been looking forward to over ten years together.
“Come, we'll find a shirt for you.”
Mama rushed to take me into a luxury boutique. I guess I was more lulled by her affection and attention than asking where did she get all this money from?
“This is good, Bell, this also seems to fit! You're prettier if you wear red, just like Mama,” as well as removing clothes by clothes in front of my body.
“Try this one, Bell.” Mama told me to take my clothes off in the locker room, so I said.
“Beauty!! All right I'll take this one!” exclaim mama to the cashier.
I glanced at the price tag hanging on his brand, one million three hundred thousand??! Just for a boss?! It's crazy, even though Mama has money but surely this price is too expensive for her.
“Ma, the price is very expensive, we look for others.”
“Ck, Mama paid! You don't embarrass Mama, ah!” mama's grumpy because I was acting hick in front of the store employees.
I came back just according to it, received a paper bag from the hands of the store clerk. Back to following mom in from one boutique to another, trying out all the clothes she chose for me.
“This seems to fit, Bell. Your skin is white and clean, wear whatever fits. Ah, so want to pet baby girl again and support her beautifully.” Mama said while looking at the sparkly clothes that stuck in her hands.
I could not answer his words yet, a hand grabbed my mother's shoulder and was forced to make her look astonished. Making the mama look at him, the owner looked at the mama with his sharp eyes.
Mama's face wrinkled with confusion, but not mama, it was the wrinkles on her face that made me even more gasp. We were staring at each other, frozen, and full of question marks. He didn't return my message, but he didn't pick up my call, but he didn't know I was here.
“Lucas?”
“Ella?!”
Wh why?
Why would a man I love be here? I looked at my mother with a cold and sharp look. Then turned to look at me with such a deep look of disappointment.
Lucas' shoulder sagged limp, he lowered his grip. Standing in a daze, making me confused, mama was no less confused.
Lucas just fell silent and finally turned around to leave me. He ran away.
“Sorry, Ma.” I gave them those fancy clothes and chose to go after Lucas.

I ran and managed to catch up to him right in front of the car park basement area. Lucas stopped his footsteps and looked at me. Usually he would open his arms and welcome my hug.
However ...
“Stop!!! Don't come near me!”
Like lightning striking through a hole, what had happened until he rejected me??! Until she hates me?! What have I done to him?
“What do you mean Lucas?” I stayed closer, slowly so as not to make him riled up.
...
No answer could be heard from his mouth. Lucas was silent, his shoulders were up and down, trying to regulate emotions.
“Lucas.” I was about to hold his hand, but Lucas rejected my hand.
“This is wrong!! This is the wrong thing, Ella!” Tears dripped from her eyes, I slipped, a moment later I shed tears. Unable to feel rejection from my beloved lips.
“What's wrong, Lucas? What did I do to break your heart?” many wonder.
“Go, Ella!!!” Lucas kicked me? Did ya?
“Why??? Tell me the reason!! Why??!!!!” I shouted, not accepting Lucas's one-sided refusal. I need to know why I need to know why he wants to leave me like this?
Lucas just kept quiet, he gave me his phone. There is a real picture in it. A beautiful woman and an old man who looks like Lucas. I know that woman very well, she's my mama. But who's that guy?
“He's My Dad.”
DEG ...
My heart sank when I heard Lucas' words. The sinking I couldn't even close my mouth, I couldn't even breathe, I couldn't even speak. The air around me seemed to be trying to choke me to death at this moment. My heart aches and hurts so much, every beat feels so agonizing.
Tattered??? No!! It hurts more than just being torn apart.
If I had felt such excruciating pain, what else would Lucas be??
