After getting out of Alex's car, Bella decides to sit in one of the long chairs facing the lake. Tonight the place looks not crowded enough visitors, maybe because tonight is not Sunday night.
Bella's mind started flying everywhere. There are a lot of things he is starting to think about right now. Starting from Alex who just kept thinking about it until this moment. How did he complete his second mission? Who was the middle-aged man who called himself a father in front of Carissa? How can he ask Alex for help to find proof of the truth of the engineered photo? Until the problem of what consequences he will receive if he breaks the rules while carrying out this second life mission.
Bella grunts long. "It seems that my life is now more and more burden."
"That's life. If you don't want to have a burden, you better not just live." A man was suddenly sitting next to Bella. I don't know when he showed up and sat there. Bella obviously didn't notice.
"Gosh my god." Bella held onto her chest that felt thumping in surprise. "Know no? You almost made me hang."
Bella rolled her gaze around, wanting to make sure that no one saw the figure sitting next to her at the moment, especially Alex who was currently sitting inside her car. What if Alex notices her and sees herself sitting together with another man? For sure Alex will misunderstand him, and the arena of misunderstanding that could make Alex will stay away from him later. Or maybe the man did not see the figure sitting with him but saw him talking to himself like a madman. It could be that Alex who is currently sitting in the car is even secretly paying attention to him. So thought Bella.
"Not to panic. No one can see me but you" said the God of Hope.
"Why did you suddenly appear here? You really surprised me" whispered Bella.
"Why are you asking why I suddenly showed up. Aren't you asking me something right now?" the God of Hope.
"I-iya too. But ... how can you know-ah, sorry. I forgot that you are the God of Hope who knows everything." Bella immediately corrected her own words when she recalled who the figure sitting next to her was.
"Sad." The God of Hope smiled as he screeched.
"Mm .. It's true I wanted to ask you something. But .. I actually just wanted to call you after I got back home, not in a public place like this."
"Home and public place what's the difference? I'll make sure no one gets suspicious when you talk to me, so you take it easy. In the eyes of others they will see you sitting dumbly as you talk to me."
"Good then. I can be calmer now."
Bella again snorted, while looking straight ahead. His face looked very excited.
"God, my heart is in turmoil right now, and you are the only place I complain, nothing else. Moreover, only you are the only one who knows who I really am. So ... I want to confide in you a little bit" said Bella, but did not get any response from the God of Hope.
"I just found out that Alex loves me a lot. For so many years we've been together everywhere, why hasn't he ever told me about it? Why did I just find out about her feelings when I was like this? It's really very dear to me," said Bella, it felt like she wanted to cry.
"Indeed, if he had expressed his feelings for you back then, you would have left your husband for him? Didn't you love your husband more than anything? In fact, you are more concerned with your husband than your parents who have given birth, cared for, and raised you for decades." The words of the God of Hope just made Bella's heart flinch.
"Dad, God, you're making me sadder and more guilty."
"That's it. Don't put on a sad face like that." The God of Hope turned his gaze the other way, not wanting to stare at the sad face of the girl beside him because it felt like he was simply unable to. "We're straight to the point" he said later.
"What essence?" For a moment Bella was confused by the words of the God of Hope, but a moment later the girl already understood what it meant. "Oh yes, sorry. I had forgotten again that you are the God of Hope who knows everything. Including questions that have been embedded in my brain since," he said again accompanied by a smile.
"alright. From now on put your ears well and listen to what I will explain to you later," said the God of Hope who was replied with a nod of understanding by Bella.
"If you commit an offense by leaking your identity while the mission you are running is underway, then the consequences of the time to achieve your mission will be cut by 50 percent from the total amount of time that has been determined. Because the time I give you for the achievement of your second mission is 1 year, then automatically your time will be cut by 6 months. And if you have been on this second mission for more than 6 months but you actually leaked your identity to others, then you automatically declared failed to carry out your life mission. The reason is because the remaining time is not enough 6 months. Similarly, if you have successfully completed all three missions of your life will be completed, if you leak your identity to someone then the rest of your age will be cut in half, and it is very clear here that you also should not divulge your identity to more than 1 person because of the risk you must have known yourself. How, what explanation can you understand?" added later.
Bella nodded. "Bi-sa, can. It turns out the consequences are that heavy, huh? I have to go back to risking my life" Bella said. "What if I fail in this second mission? What advantage will I get because I have successfully carried out the mission before?"
"Well, since now you have successfully completed your first mission, so you have the right to live for the next 2 years after you are declared to have failed to complete your second mission."
"What?! Only 2 years?!" Bella immediately smothered her own mouth when she realized her voice was too loud. He was so surprised because it turned out that the chance of life he had on the achievement of the previous mission was so short.
"Yes, 2 years. Isn't 2 years time better than you have no chance of life at all" the God of Hope replied. "Bella Chintya Adinatha, lest you forget that now you can sit here because you get a chance to come back to life using someone else's body."
"Yes, yes, sorry. How could I have forgotten that."
"You listen carefully, there's still something I want to explain to you."
"What's that?" ask Bella curious.
"This is still an explanation of the consequences that you will get if you fail to complete your mission, but before you are declared a failure, you have leaked your identity to others. This is just an example, because now you have only managed to complete 1 mission and will only get a chance to live again for 2 years, then your two years will be spent as a sick person. After that 2 years have passed then you will end up due to a chronic illness that gnaws at my body and eventually makes your life re-taken."
Bella shuddered in horror. It turned out to be that scary. It seemed like he had to think 2 times before leaking his identity.
"Then what if I fail because the time is up, and I never divulge my identity to anyone?"
"If you fail because the time is up, yes of course the story is different. You will spend your 2 years like a normal and healthy human being in general. Even if your 2 years are up, you may die from a heart attack, a deadly accident, a natural disaster, or even another unexpected cause of death."
