The Light of Love (Children of Genius)
Chapters 13. Find Address

After delivering his entrance to the housekeeper, Roberto was finally able to meet Ella and Reo.

"Girla, Reo. I'm sorry, I'm .. I wasn't honest with you yesterday." Roberto, say his apology.

Ella is suspicious of Roberto's behavior change. He felt that something was hidden, while Reo just kept quiet.

'There's something wrong. I feel Roberto is being dishonest. W-But what does it mean to come here.' Ella nodded with worry.

'Why is Roberto behaving strangely?' ask Reo in your heart.

The little Ank, could feel an unusual atmosphere this time. Everything because Roberto was not so friendly as he is now.

Ella, feeling that this has something to do with Isabella. Roberto's girlfriend, who made him have to leave the flats yesterday.

"For that, come with me, Ella, Reo."

"No, Roberto. We, there's no way we can come with you." Ella, refuse Roberto's invitation.

"Why? Is this because, Isabella?" ask Roberto quickly.

"One of them, but not just because of that."

Ella, give the answer but not all the reasons are because of Isabella alone. He felt insecure and comfortable if he had to live with Roberto in their current situation and condition.

"What about you, Reo? You wanna come with me? With papa?" the question, turned to Reo.

The little boy did not give an answer, because he did not know Roberto before. Of course, the instinct of a child prefers to be with people who are always around him, namely his own mother.

After a while, Roberto finally gave up. He failed to persuade Ella and Reo to join him, and he refused to force.

In retrospect, Roberto also felt that the two were much safer in this doctor's house than being with him.

"alright. I, will not force. W-but, let me meet you guys. Or at least, give me your phone number, Ella."

"Emhhh, all right."

Eventually, Ella also relented to give her mobile number rather than Roberto having to come to this house often to see her.

Maybe it's better, so they're not as connected as they meet often. He did not want Isabella to come crashing him again like yesterday.

After Roberto returned, Ella sat on the edge of the bed that felt so empty. His son was already sound asleep beside him, but in his heart, there was a void that could not be filled. He felt lost and swayed in a sea of uncertain feelings.

"I'm sorry Mama, honey."

Ella, forced to take this decision for the safety of both of them. He was also forced to stay at the doctor's house, accidentally while checking up at the hospital, while the doctor accidentally asked how he was doing.

With great constancy, if finally tell the distress and difficulty of his life for the time being. He is forced to stay in this city, until Reo's health is declared fine.

"If so, can I help?" ask the doctor, at that time.

"What, Doc?" ella asked confusedly.

That was the reason the doctor, who asked Ella to stay with him. Thus, Ella can treat and accompany the wife of the doctor who was sick for this year.

Actually, there's a nurse looking after the doctor's wife. But, as a friend his wife still did not feel comfortable.

"We can try, and if my wife is comfortable you can stay in my house. But if not, you can be a maid in my house. It's okay, right?"

After much thought, Ella finally agreed. All was thought about because he also did not have much money to rent a house.

Now, the night was getting late, the sky was full of bright shining stars. Ella was still at home looking at her son who was sleeping soundly, then walked to the window and stared out. He felt himself small and fragile in the middle of such a vast and unfathomable universe. However, in the silence of that night, there was a growing determination within him.

"Honey. After this, we'll go back to the city that just lived in peace."

Ella returned to the bed, clasped her son's hand tightly and then kissed him gently on the forehead.

Although he felt swayed by the storm of emotion and uncertainty, there was a fire within him that started to ignite. She knew that she had to be strong, had to protect her child, and had to continue on her journey even though the challenge felt so great.

In the view of her slumbering son, Ella finds the spirit she needs. Although her life has changed dramatically, she is determined to face everything with her newfound courage and determination.

"Mama, just need you, honey."

Under the light of the stars shining brightly, Ella decided to live life with great strength and determination, even though the path she had to take might be full of difficult obstacles.

***

Isabella, a smart and cunning woman, devises an elaborate plan to trap Roberto in a network that leaves him unable to escape.

The woman has gathered information about Roberto's past, including his work in the black world and all sorts of secrets kept, about Roberto's many relationships with several women including Ella.

He uses the people and networks he owns to get this information.

"With everything in my hands, you can't dwell, Roberto!"

Isabella has also learned of Ella and Reo, as well as their importance in Roberto's life. He knows that Roberto is very protective of them and will not let them get hurt.

The woman sees this as a weakness and an opportunity for her to take control of Roberto, lest the former lover be at all with him.

Isabella uses the information she collects to design tasks and situations that make no sense to Roberto. He made sure that the task went against Roberto's decision and integrity, so he felt trapped and confused.

"Hehhh, I can do anything. And you, forget it, Robert!"

Isabella has contacted Roberto, through someone else and revealed that she has access to any information about her past. He threatens to reveal everything to Ella and Reo if Roberto does not agree to follow his instructions.

As such, Isabella made Roberto feel insecure and confused by giving him a difficult offer to turn down. He also unexpectedly reveals some information about Roberto's past to Ella and Reo, creating doubt and distrust in their relationship.

Isabella also proudly, used the influence and power of her father who was a state official to strengthen her position.

"Haha ... I can't possibly lose, just because of a cheap woman from her past."

The woman threatens to use the power to damage Roberto's career and reputation if she refuses or fights him. And he is very confident, Roberto will not be able to fight him.
