"Bella Honey... you actually visited me. You still care about me, right?" Alfred was very happy and he then hugged Bella.
But the woman rebelled, she didn't want to be hugged by her own ex.
"Ugh, let Alfred go!" Bella managed to let it go, but now Alfred's face was sad, he was already depressed. "Listen! I'm only here because of my Mommy, she's the one who wants to visit you, not me. Sorry," Bella added again.
However, after Bella revealed the real reason… Alfred was silent and walked to his bed which was only a few steps away.
He then raised his legs, lay down like nonchalant and pulled the blanket.
Now he closed his eyes, as if Bella's existence was just the night breeze that made him cold and wanted to fall asleep.
"Oh, you're sleeping. Hey! Help me," Bella snapped forcing. Bella tugged at Alfred's hand.
Alfred didn't react at first. Because Bella kept pestering him, Alfred was angry for the first time.
His eyes were red from the influence of the alcohol. Bella sniffed her nose, she smelled the drink.
Bella really didn't like it when Alfred drank too much. Not caring about his health, but the man's self-control who is always not aware when he drinks it.
"Shut up!" Alfred snapped at Bella and glared at her.
Because of the breakup of their affair, Alfred was the cause.
Because at that time Alfred was so drunk that he tarnished Bella's integrity. Even though Bella is coquettish, she is a woman who keeps her vital honor.
Bella knew that if she gave it up, she couldn't have a future. Most people who are willing to give it to the opposite sex without marriage ties, are also often considered low in the eyes of society.
Bella didn't want to, she didn't want to add to the burden of her life. That's enough, he said.
Her family life that is not harmonious has become a big problem that is never resolved, Bella doesn't want to add to it more chaotic.
Until Alfred was fired from his position as an affair. But, when Bella wanted to end the affair, Bara finally found out and she refused Bella to come back with him.
Bella and Bara got into an argument at that time. Until now, Bella has to fight to get back Bara's heart, which she has already hurt.
Even though Bella's virginity is gone. Bella wasn't ashamed of that.
"You're not insane when you're drunk," Bella said, pointing at Alfred's face.
Alfred then held the tiny index finger with a firm grip. Bella was scared, especially now that she was in her room.
No matter how loud Bella screamed, her mother would not be heard who was sitting downstairs chatting with Alfred's parents who happened to be in Indonesia.
At first Bella did not want to follow her mother's lowly plan to persuade Alfred's parents to inject funds and invest in her mother's company according to the initial agreement.
But somehow Alfred's parents canceled it.
Bella already suspected it was because the factor was the result of the breakup of Bella and Alfred's relationship.
Bella knew that Alfred would ask his parents not to cooperate with Bella's parents.
This time Bella was forced to obey in order to save her mother's business which was on the verge of bankruptcy.
"If I was insane, how would I know what your intentions were here, Bell," Alfred replied seriously.
Bella's face stiffened. It turned out that Alfred dared to take advantage of the situation. He knew that Bella's mother was in need of cooperation with her parents.
Bella was silent. He was ashamed to give in let alone to beg to Alfred.
Bella turned her face, she didn't want to look at Alfred who now knew Bella's intention to come to his house.
Alfred then approached Bella. She looked at him with a happy smile.
Alfred then poked Bella's chin, brushed the naughty hand away and Bella snorted, she was very annoyed.
But he still listened to the sequel. Bella would either agree or not, but judging by the current situation, Alfred Bella thought it would be easy to do whatever she wanted.
"So, how is it? You want to go back to me and forget about that Bara?" asked Alfred.
He was still looking at Bella's face, which was now annoyed and disorganized.
He had to choose between heart and economic hardship. Conditions that do not favor Bella's desire to return to Bara.

Asih came out of the bathroom, she was still wearing her towel.
He saw Jajaka Purwa relaxed while holding his cell phone.
He is busy with his cellphone screen, whether he is doing business or just chatting in the WhatsApp group.
Asih does not know – what is clear is that the existence of a husband she does not love makes Asih uncomfortable.
There is still no willingness for Asih to show her beauty.
Asih then approached her closet, opened it and saw a line of clothes that were only a few.
Asih deliberately didn't bring a lot of clothes because of the landlord's prohibition.
He said, Asih will be equipped with all the facilities including clothes, although perhaps Asih is still wearing her own clothes that she brought from home.
Asih took full clothes, she then closed the closet door again and walked back to the bathroom.
Almost disappeared into the bathroom, Jajaka Purwa's voice stopped him.
It was so loud that Asih's legs were shaking too. Living with the landlord is like bringing Asih to the world war era during Hitler's time.
The sound of gunfire and dictatorship was so strong that it felt like breathing was limited for Asih.
There is no calm according to him, there is only fear that keeps coming.
"Why did you go into the bathroom again?" asked the landlord and he put away his cell phone.
Sturdy, looking at Asih who is now clumsy. Asih looks like she is being pointed at with a gun, even though there is no threat of sharp objects being directed at her now.
"I-I just want to change clothes inside Master," Asih stammered.
Jajaka Purwa immediately acted, he got off the bed and immediately approached Asih.
"Uh, why is that? It's better if you wear clothes here, Asih," he said with his crocodile face.
It's not just the awkward feeling that Asih is currently feeling. However, the feeling of anger is very high.
'No wonder he didn't go away. It turns out that his brain is getting perverted,' Asih muttered in his heart. Again, Asih couldn't do anything anymore. He had to obey.
While at the dinner table, Adrian, Bara, Kirani and Monika were sitting neatly waiting for the two newlyweds who never appeared to have dinner.
They were surprised, it was more than ten minutes from the schedule that had become an unwritten law in the house rules, and Jajaka Purwa and Asih had not come for dinner.
Monika and Kirani think nothing of it. There are no positive thoughts, there are only assumptions related to Asih who is good at teasing their husbands with her innocence.
Adrian and Bara have been silent all this time, occasionally they open their cellphones, just to relieve boredom.
They couldn't grab a bite to eat before their new father and stepmother arrived.
In their hearts they were constantly cursing. But they didn't dare say it. Maybe their mother--Kirani was furious.
"Why did our father take so long, Bro?" Bara asked in the WhatsApp chat to Adrian, who is currently playing on a cellphone.
"I'm not his assistant," replied Adrian briefly and added a laugh that almost fell over.
But, just as Bara wanted to type again – a second reply from Adrian appeared.
