Benalu In My House
EIGHTY EIGHT

As usual, after work Belinda will go back to her contract first to clean up and change clothes. Before taking a shower, he put his dirty clothes into the washing machine and turned it on after putting in special detergent and water. During her mother's time in the hospital, Belinda hardly ever cooked. There was no time for him to do the real fun thing. Every day he bought food outside. Sometimes he misses his cooking activities as he often did with his mother first. This almost two years they never did again.

It all started with something that happened 2 years ago. When his mother was shocked when she heard the news of the accident that befell her father. However, it turned out that there was a more painful fact at that time. It turns out that his father had an accident with his young wife and son. A single accident that killed all three of them. The boy was about 10 years old. Doesn't that mean his father had remarried without his mother's knowledge more than 10 years ago.

Belinda's mother's heart is broken. The woman was his own cousin. He loved his cousin's son sincerely. But apparently, they stabbed him in the back. The pain and disappointment was incredible. Although before he died, both of them had asked for forgiveness, but Belinda's mother's heart had been broken to formless. Before he could forgive, Belinda's mother collapsed due to a heart attack.

Not only was her mother devastated, but Belinda too. He did not expect, his first love had betrayed the sincere love of his mother. He did not expect, his favorite aunt was a hammer and thorn in the marriage of his parents. He did not expect, his beloved cousin's sister turned out to be his own half-sister. Naturally his father often devoted excessive attention to Fadhil. It turns out that the cause is because Fadhil is the son of his own father. From then on, Belinda closed her eyes and heart to every man. His heart was cold and frozen. He does not believe in love in this world. For him love is a source of disaster. Because of love, her mother's life suffered. Even now, his mother's heart disease is getting worse. The doctor suggested the installation of the ring, but Belinda could not do it. Finances limited. While the installation of the ring costs hundreds of millions. Where can he get that money?

If only their house was still there, maybe he could pawn it for a while. But it can't be done. He did not expect his father's family was so cruel, without feeling they took their house under the pretext that the house was the legacy of their parents. Because his father is gone, it means that the house is returned to them, his father's brothers.

They were also driven from their own homes. Belinda hates, Belinda is angry, her frozen heart is petrified. Revenge, anger, and disappointment flared in his chest. He hated how any human being so heartlessly threw them out of their own homes. They knew they had just been grieved. His mother was helpless due to a heart attack. Belinda felt, had fallen, hit the stairs anyway. Is she not happy for him even a little bit?

...***...

Belinda shrank her falling tears while watching her mother's deep asleep face. His mother, the spirit of his life, was now lying helplessly on the hospital bed. Grasping his mother's hand, he breathed with affection the back of the hand of the woman who had sacrificed her life to give birth to him.

"Mom, hold on! Never leave Belinda. Belinda has no one in the world but mother" whispered Belinda. Her eyes are red. Shortness, that was how he felt at this moment.

"Aafr ... " Belinda jumped in shock when suddenly someone patted her on the shoulder. "You ... " Belinda rounded her eyes when she saw someone who was smiling broadly at her as if not feeling guilty at all.

"Shocked huh? Sorry," whispered the man who turned out to be Dario.

Belinda took a deep breath to neutralize her heartbeat in shock. Fortunately, his mother was not bothered with his screeching.

Indeed, since the night Dario was injured for helping Belinda, Dario often met the quiet girl. Dario knew Belinda's mother was in the hospital because Belinda had to return to the hospital that night so Dario offered to accompany her. Although they often met, but Belinda's attitude did not change at all. It remains flat, cold, untouched.

"Have you eaten?" dario asked when Belinda did not press or respond at all.

Belinda raised her face then shook her head. Instead, he took his laptop and checked out some work that he could actually do tomorrow.

"You're mute, huh? What a hard thing to say!" annoyed Dario but Belinda did not budge at all make Dario cluck.

Dario himself was confused, why he should bother to pay attention to Belinda when clearly Belinda did not care at all.

Dario breathed a tired breath. Then he opened the bag he was carrying and took out the contents. It contains two portions of Padang satay. Belinda likes it or not. Then he moved and took the laptop in front of Belinda indifferently making Belinda tickle. Then Dario put a serving of Padang satay right in front of Belinda and told her to eat.

"Reverse my laptop!"

"Eat first. Work can be done later." Dario glared, but Belinda was not afraid at all.

"Who says there is no job. I have a job. Nih, again eating a stiff man bin bebal. Being told to eat is hard." Dario glared. Made from what the hell the girl in front of him is, there is no sweetness to be a person. Not the face, but the attitude. Dario admits, Belinda is beautiful. He was also sure, the smile of the girl must be sweet because he had seen his ID card photo. In the photo Belinda smiled. He became curious, why Belinda never smiled at all like in the ID card. He glanced at Belinda's mother who was asleep, 'Is it possible this has something to do with her mother?

Lazily arguing, Belinda shifted the Padang satay to get closer to her face then she immediately devoured it with her face bent wryly making Dario secretly smile.

"Hon, when did you marry me? This is my stomach growing. I feared my neighbors for knowing and scorned me," whined Septi as he wrestled spoiled in Edward's arms.

"I'm so sorry, honey, I don't want to. I told them the same story but my parents were against our relationship. You know, our differences are too big" Edward made Septi grunt.

"Why do I need a brand permit first? We can get married secretly. Or are we just getting married abroad?" Septi's proposal, but Edward shook his head firmly.

"No, it's complicated, honey. It's not that easy. Why do we need permission, I'm my parents' only child, honey. I can't let them down by getting married secretly."

"So we should how? Continued like this?" septi got angry.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm still single, Ed, what do people say if they know I'm pregnant without a husband?"

"You don't need to be confused, you can occupy this apartment. From now on, you just stay here. Here you can be safe and for sure no one will gossip you for getting pregnant without a husband. You take it easy, I'll visit often." Edward's disconnect made Septi's eyes sparkle.

"I can stay here? Really?"

"Really, honey." His words as he kissed the top of Septi's head made Septi smile widely.

"Aafr ... " Squeeze Septi suddenly.

"What's happen, honey?"

"I don't know, Ed, lately your stomach's getting sick more and more. Honestly, I was afraid something happened with my womb," Septi said grimacingly.

"Next week your womb is 4 months, right? Next week we go to the doctor. I ask you to take good care of my son. I don't want anything to happen to her. Don't think about it, no matter what, you have to keep your content. If you still want me to stay by your side, you have to keep this kid, you understand?" edward made Septi frown, but he nodded obediently. He didn't want Edwar to leave him. After all, he loved Edward. Moreover, Edward is very royal to him, of course he does not want to lose the figure of Edward in his life.
