Sunlight drifts through the thin white curtains into the hotel room occupied by Denis.
Denis squirmed and opened his eyes slowly. The man was seen massaging his forehead because he still felt dizzy. The influence of alcohol may have disappeared, but dizziness in the head is still very disturbing.
"Where am I?" inner Denis while circulating his gaze to all corners of the room that he knew was clearly not his room.
"Hotel room? why I can be in the room
this is?" Denis tried to remember what happened last night. But all he remembers is the incident where he got a blow from Gavin and out of frustration he drank a lot.
Denis sighed and intended to get off the bed. His eyes were fully rounded, shocked as he flicked his blanket, his body plain without a single thread attached.
"What's this about? why am I te*lan*jang?" Denis stood up and looked for his clothes. He saw his clothes still lying on the floor.
Denis looked back up at the bed, and his eyes grew bigger again, as soon as he saw that there was a patch of blood that had dried up, stuck on top of the white sheet.
"God? what the hell is going on? what have I done? did I ruin a girl?" Denis is trying to remember what happened. But he still finds it hard to remember.
"Oh, fuck! why can't I remember?" Denis grumbled while tapping his forehead.
"Reynaldi! yes Reynaldi, he must have booked this room, I better ask him," Denis immediately looked for his phone that was lying on the nightstand. Denis believes that the woman put it there.
Not to mention, Denis pressed the call button, his phone had already gone off, and the person who was contacting him, was the person he was going to call.
"Hello, Rey. I was just about to call you" Denis said.
"Oh, so? how are you doing now, Sob? are you still at the hotel?" ask Reynaldi from the other end of the phone.
"Now? and I'm fine now. Inj I want to ask, did you book a room for me? Denis asked with anxious expectation.
"At first it was, but I was in a hurry last night to take my mom to the hospital, because my mom fell in the kitchen and her legs hurt again. So, I asked Bella for help who happened to be in that hotel. What's the matter, man?"
"Bella's? I-you mean, my manager Bella?" Denis is in total shock.
"Yes, Bella who else. The woman named Bella I know is just your manager. Why the hell?" Reynaldi sounded increasingly curious.
"You're not kidding, are you?" Denis asked again, making sure.
" So, what am I kidding you for? moreover, I know that this joke is not funny. What the hell are you? why do you ask the truth so many times? is something going on?"
Denis did not answer. He tried to remember what happened last night. Suddenly a fragment of the shadow of a woman pleading and crying as she steadfastly damaged the woman's self-esteem, flashed in her mind.
"Den? Denise? are you still there?" the voice of Reynaldi's call immediately made Denis aware of his daydream.
"L-yes, I'm still here" Denis said nervously and limp.
"What the hell are you doing? please, don't make me curious" urged Reynaldi, who can be sure that now the man's face is on the other end, must be upset.
"Rey, I-I've ruined it. I-I don't__"
"Destroyed how? what's broken? cut Reynaldi is still trying to think positively, although indeed his feelings have begun to feel bad.
"I've ruined Bella, Rey. I grumbled forcibly her chastity," Denis made clear with a frustrated look.
There was no Reynaldi's voice from the other end. Denis believes that at this time, the man must be fixated on not being able to say anything.
"Rey, are you still there?" ask Denis in a soft voice
"Suckers! you bastard, Denis!" reynaldi, in a high voice. "How could you be that bad, huh!"
"I'm really not aware of doing it, Rey. I had no intention of doing that depraved thing, I was really frustrated last night" said Denis, who did not reply to Reynaldi's swearing at all, because he realized that he was depraved.
"It's not all because of you, Rey. It's because I'm the depraved and the bastard. How about now, Rey? what am I supposed to do?"
"Dropped! why are you still asking what you're going to do, huh? the only thing you have to do is yes, responsibility! don't tell me you want to run away from responsibility?"
"But ...."
"But, what? you want to tell me you don't love him? and your love for Jelita, is that it? if you're in front of me now, I'm done with you." Reynaldi was really angry right now. It was heard from his fiery voice and the sound of his hunting breath.
"Denis, that love doesn't have to have. I know you love Jelita, but you have to realize that Jelita is Gavin's wife. If you say, Gavin doesn't love Jelita, you're wrong. I can guarantee you one hundred percent that Gavin loves his wife very much. Now as a true man in charge, you must know which is more important now, your selfish love or your responsibility. Remember, you've ruined something that can't be fixed anymore. It will be forever broken. One more thing, that thing you did, it must have left a very heavy trauma for Bella and the only way, you had to heal that trauma," reynaldi said at length without pause, hoping his best friend could understand.
Denis shook his head, saying nothing, because what came out of his best friend's mouth was true. Then the man took a deep breath and exhaled quite long and heavy.
"Rey, you're right! I'm the one who broke it and I'm the one who has to take responsibility for fixing it.Although I know, it won't be able to come back intact" Denis said.
"Thank God, if you realize it. One more thing you must remember, What you plant is what you reap. If now you are doing something bad to someone and you do not want to fix it, rest assured that one day you will reap his bad karma. Likewise, on the contrary, you do good, you will also reap good karma" said Reynaldi, sage.
"Rey, I'll turn off the phone first yes, I'll go see Bella now." Denis decided on the call, once Reynaldi agreed from the other end.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
Meanwhile, inside a luxurious mansion appeared a middle-aged man and woman who really felt confused why this early in the morning, Their only daughter Bella suddenly asks to live abroad.
"Why is this all of a sudden, honey? do you have a problem?" asked Mama Bella with her eyebrows linked.
"Nothing, Mah. I just want to stay abroad" replied Bella trying to hide what had happened to her.
"Is this because you've given up on getting Denis' love?" this time it was the father who opened his voice.
"That's one of them. I felt that there was no point in attracting his attention anymore. The man's heart was completely made of stone. That's why I want to go abroad, to set my heart there," replied Bella, straightforwardly.
"Do you not feel that the things you have been doing so far, to want to work as the Manager, and be tired of doing two jobs at once, so in vain?" ask Papa Bella again.
"There's no such thing as a waste, Pah. At least I tried. The problem works, it's a back business. At least I'm not curious anymore, why he refused to be betrothed to me, even though he had never met at all. He didn't even know what name he was being betrothed to. So, now I just want to, Papa and Mama want to let me stay in Canada for a while" Bella said expectantly.
"So, what about the hotel business? do you have the heart, letting papa take care of it yourself? Papa still needs to take care of everything else, son."
"Papa take it easy, Risa is very reliable. I'll also keep a close eye on her from there, too" Bella tried to convince her.
"In the meantime, I don't want to set foot in that hotel. I'd have a hard time forgetting what happened to me if I saw that hotel" Bella whispered to diy herself.
Yes, Bella was at the hotel, not because she met her friends, but she was the daughter of the hotel owner. He was the leader the father asked to manage the hotel.
Because she works as a manager at Cafe Denis and comes home at about 8 p.m., Bella can see the state of the hotel only at night.
At first he applied for a job at Denis cafe, because he was upset and felt dislike for the man, who refused to be betrothed to him. Though the two of them had not met at all, and even Denis did not want to ask the name of the woman he was betrothed to.
As a beautiful woman, well-established and much pursued by men, Bella felt challenged and wanted to see how the figure of a man who rejected her. He became an employee of Denis. But over time, Bella falls in love and intends to conquer the man's heart. However, the thing he initially thought was easy turned out to be very difficult. The man did not fall in love with her easily.
"How about, Pa, Ma? you two let me go, right?" Bella repeated her request.
The two parents looked at each other for a moment. Then they both took heavy breaths.
"Well, if you really want that. Hopefully there you can rearrange your heart and find the man who loves you," concluded his papa Bella, finally resigned .
"Thank you, Pa, Ma!" said Bella.
"I feel safe it's hard to find a man who can accept a dirty woman like me, Pa, Ma" Bella whispered to herself.
