"We lost our son, Ge! It's all because of me, I'm sorry!" EL said in his tears.
"You mean?"
I don't understand what EL said back then.
"You're miscarried, Ge! We lost our son, our son!" exclaim EL while sobbing.
Honestly, I'm very sad. But I am sure that my baby does not want to be present in the midst of the disaster that is sweeping our lives.
I wiped away the tears that ran down my cheeks. Then I looked back at the EL who was still sobbing beside me.
"Are you willing to tell me everything, EL? I hope there are no more lies! I've seen it with my own eyes, so don't ever try to go back to lying to me!"
I have prepared my heart and mind to know everything. I'm ready to listen to any confession, even if it hurts.
EL lifted his face that was down next to me. EL looked at me with a sad look,
"I'm powerless, Ge! My urgent circumstances. This is all due to Mami's mistake of making a lie about me." EL said, sobbing.
"I don't understand what you mean, EL!" my sah
"To separate me and my first wife, Mami had the heart to falsify a certificate from the Doctor and said that I was barren. But because it didn't work, he kicked my wife out of our house by threatening her. My wife was pregnant with our baby, Ge! I'm powerless, I don't mean to torture you but right now my son really needs me, his father." said EL, burying his face in my hand which he still held.
I was very surprised to hear his confession. My heart really hurts. So the woman was his first wife. People who have always been met by EL.
Just then, the woman I saw hugging my husband's body came into my room with Alessandro.
That woman is beautiful. Very pretty! It is fitting that EL cannot forget his figure. He looked at me with a sad look. I also kept returning his gaze.
Alessandro takes EL out. And now it's me and that woman in my room. He approached my bed with a warm smile.
I can't return her smile. I still hurt him and EL.
"Ge, my name is Bella."
The woman extended her hand to me. But I had no intention of welcoming him.
I was still silent as I watched the woman's movements. After learning that I did not want to welcome his hand, the woman named Bella again pulled her hand and kept smiling at me.
"Would you like to come here? Do you want to see my destruction firsthand?!" say I'm cynical, please,
"Ge, I don't mean anything like that! Actually I'm sad. Because of my presence, now you lose your fetus" he said while sitting next to my bed, where before EL also sat in that chair.
Huh! He finally realized that all of this was the result of his actions. I actually didn't want to talk to him. I don't care if he thinks I'm arrogant or anything, whatever!
"Ge, I didn't mean to be present in your household life at all. But circumstances urge me to do so. A while ago, my son and I had an accident. And his Naas, my only child was severely injured and his leg had to be amputated, he needed an EL figure, he kept asking where his father was! Inevitably, I have to go to EL and tell him the truth."
"I've been trying to hide my son from EL and his entire family. I don't want them to do anything unwanted to my son. You know how Mami is, don't you, Ge?! He can do anything... I also know EL is married to you, he loves you a lot too. EL has no feelings for me anymore, but my son's condition now really needs the figure of EL. If you don't believe me, you can meet my son and see how he is!" continued.
I think Bella's telling the truth. Maybe if I were in his position, I would do the same. But the problem is, why is EL hiding this from me? He should have told me the truth!
"Do you still love Michael?" much
Bella seemed silent and then lowered her head. He sighed deeply then looked back at me with a smile,
"I honestly still love Michael! But what power I have, EL has forgotten me and in his heart there is only you, Geanna!" he said shimmily,
I took a long breath. Actually I can't believe what he said a hundred percent.
"If EL doesn't love you, then why do you..."
I cannot continue my words. I'm reminded of the lipstick stains and the woman's scent that was attached to the EL shirt a long time ago. I'm sure they did that already.
Bella seemed confused but after a while, she smiled back at me.
"I'm sure you're talking about that lipstick stain, aren't you? EL told me. Actually at that time, I fell unconscious after my son went back to bleeding heavily. EL lifted my body, maybe that's when the lipstick and perfume I was wearing was stuck on his shirt. Trust me, Ge! EL is still yours, only yours!"
Bella touched my hand and then smiled back at me. But I still couldn't return her smile. My lips are still heavy to smile with.
To be honest I was a little relieved after hearing the explanation. I don't know for sure if he was telling the truth or just lying to me.
"And I also want to apologize to you, if in the last few weeks EL always comes home at night. It's all because EL has to put my son to bed first. He doesn't want EL to come home before he goes to bed." continued Bella,
I kept looking at him, I wanted to find a lie in his eyes. But he seems to be telling the truth.
"I want to visit your children." I said.
"Of course, Ge! You can visit him. She must be happy to meet you. Take Fariz and Farissa too, she really likes kids."
Bella was so enthusiastic about saying that to me. Her smile even continued to float on her beautiful face.
"All right..."
After that Bella told me a lot about her life after leaving EL. Actually I salute him. She's a tough woman, she can survive and raise her son without an EL figure.
Not long after, EL and Alessandro returned to my room. Both EL and Alessandro, they smiled at me. But my expression was still the same, I was still reluctant to return their smiles.
EL approached me and sat down next to Bella. I showed them, Bella and EL. Actually they're very compatible. One is beautiful and the other handsome.
