Rion half ran into the car, inside Atmanegara waiting while checking the IHGS movement on his tablet.
"Directly send to Mahendra's house!" Atmanegara said once Rion put his seatbelt on. Atmanegara's face shows ignorance.
"Ck, you childish shit." Rion Murmuring.
"Let's not tense, Rion. Haha... You picked the hot one, right?"
"Please check, sir." Rion held out a bag with a famous brand logo.
"Ck, look like a voter like you, know me."
"So she..." Rion Cibir. He placed the box again in the chair next to him.
"By the way Vio is inside." Report Rion.
"Hmm, the GPS's in this parking lot." Atmanegara manggut-mangut observe the tablet.
"Other in the mouth, another in the heart." Sindir Rion's. Atmanegara just glanced back.

Bella stared at the beautifully arranged garden next to Mahendra's mansion. Full of colorful flowers with neatly cut green grass. Looks fresh and pampering the eyes.
It's a pity that inside this house feels dead. All fancy, just as if there was no life in it.
Bella stood in front of a large, classic-carved wooden window. He occasionally sighed and wiped his moist cheeks from tired of crying.
He did not expect fate to reunite him with Mahendra. After many years he struggles with his guilt for Arum and tries to run as far away from reality as possible.
A person as good as Arum must be smiling in heaven right now, lucky for him.
He folded the paper back from Arum and put it in his front pocket.
Mahendra stood leaning against his rather tall dining table. He watched Bella from behind.
It's been like this for half an hour. Bella was still standing there.
Mahendra slowly approached the woman. Wanting to hug her from behind to complete her longing all this time, but she knew enough that Bella was still making her distance. Although the letter from Arum makes Bella's defense a little slack, but Mahendra will wait a little more.
"Arum asked me to give you this when I found you." Mahendra thrusts a small velvet-lined box.
Bella accepted it doubtfully. It opens slowly. A wedding ring.
"That's not Arum's wedding ring, he bought it specifically for you. He himself chose it. Wear it when you're ready to replace it." Lirih Mahendra's. Although he was expecting Bella, but he also did not want to force her.
Bella takes the ring and laughs at it.
Well-favoured.
Arum knows Bella likes simple and simple things. This ring represents it.
"What if I'm married?" Bella asked, he put the ring back in the box and put it in the bag.
Mahendra grinned, "there is no ring around your finger. And again I have confirmed with the Medika."
Bella sneers.
"So, when are you going to take me to see my son?"
"I told you his father was dead." Bella turned her face.
"Gosh, you're making me die." Mahendra smiled wryly. "He believes?"
"Since birth the child had no father. If Mas wants to be recognized, please try yourself to approach him."
"You're allowing?" Mahendra's voice was hopeful.
"I never forbid. But as for the acceptable business or not, I can't promise anything. That's Jeffry's right."
"Jeffery... What a good name." Mahendra was bearded, "If Jeffry accepts me, will you accept me again?" He tried to get close to Bella.
"I'm pretty happy living alone with Jeffry." Bella. "At any rate, we're too old to start making a household."
"Don't rush to make a decision, wait until I can convince Jeffry."
"I didn't promise."
"It's okay. Just don't avoid me anymore. I don't know how much longer I'll live, let me make up for all my mistakes."
Bella looked at Mahendra's face, honestly she also missed this man. But his little heart still left a sense of guilt for Arum. Even in her letter, Arum blatantly proposes to Bella for Mahendra.
Let him want to see Mahendra a little more, and also about Jeffry, actually he is more afraid of Jeffry's reaction later.
"Did he go to college?" Ask Mahendra. "Have you been having trouble all this time?" Further.
Bela turned her head, obviously all this time she had difficulty. To eat, sometimes he owes money. But would this rich man understand if he explained?
Finally, Bella just smiled wryly.
"Jeffry works in a workshop. He said he didn't want to go to college."
"Why not go to college? That'll make matters easier in the future."
Bella was eager to throw the velvet box she held in her pocket at Mahendra's seat.
"He knew enough to not add to his mother's burden." Eventually only these words came out of Bella's mouth.
Mahendra was stunned to hear Bella's answer he was like aware that Jeffry had difficulty living without the assistance of a father.
"Sorry..." Mahendra Whisper.
"I chose this path. Never mind, it's all happening." Pupus Bella's. "Can I go home now? Jeffry must be looking for me."
"A little while, I'll take you." Prevent Mahendra.
Then we heard footsteps approaching.
"Sorry sir, there's a package." Mbok Mirah was pushed from the front, he held a carton bag with a famous brand.
"Some, sir." Mbok Mirah said with a vague smile. He glanced at Bella.
Although somewhat confused Bella replied by nodding her head slightly.
With a frown Mahendra accepted it.
He peeked a little at the contents of the parcel, a fine silk cloth of maroon color teasing. A pair of panties and bras are matching in color with spaghetti straps and glaring of course.
Reflexes he immediately closed the parcel back while slightly glancing at Bella. Fortunately, the woman was busy watching the park.
In his heart he cursed Atmanegara. Goddamnit!
