Pebinor From the Past
The lie behind the promise

Nathan thinks he's lying, but what Bella is telling him is what's in the heart. He doesn't feel like he's lying to himself by not acknowledging his interest.

"Where can you be faithful." Bella couldn't believe it.

"I haven't done it in a long time because of your curse."

"I never cursed you. Remember Mas. I'm a regular human being."

"It's up to you not to believe."

"Maybe as time goes by I will believe. Give me back my phone." Bella reminded him of her wish.

"No yes no. Your parents will let me know if there's anything." Nathan refused.

"I'm afraid they know my lies."

"Married and done. They'll be lucky to have a daughter-in-law like me. How." Bella took a long breath. Nathan doesn't understand if he doesn't want to walk. Especially the bad history of Nathan who likes to change women.

"No." Bella replied firmly.

"Yes already. Don't expect your phone back."

"Hm. So after this you're going back to the company?"

"No. My job is to prove that my words are serious." Happy, of course. Bella wants to dream a little, even though that dream will forever be a dream. Impossible to make a former bed criminal loyal to one name.

"Think Mas. I'm jealous while you're a woman lover."

"I've stopped."

"So you'll stay here."

"It's not just me but us."

"Hm. Be professional."

"We don't have to do this if you want to go straight to my request." Bella smiled wryly while upholding her standing position.

"You've been chalking shit on my face. Miss Rita and Mas Leo accused me of cheating when I did nothing. Then you want me to straight away, don't you? No Mas. I don't have any feelings yet. To be honest I'm still pissed to see you even lazy to look at you."

Nathan shows his frustrated face even though he is aware of his past mistakes. Indeed, he should have forgotten Bella's rejection but he himself had difficulty controlling the turmoil in his heart. Curiosity to tame so attached even disturb the tranquility of life.

"So once I can prove it, you'll want to?" Nathan asked. Pretty sickening but no other way.

"Entahlah Mas's. I have hated relationships since that day. I hope you understand and don't impose your will."

"I have good faith. I want to get married not date." Again Nathan showed selfishness.

"You want to cheat me?"

"What do you mean?"

"You're looking for a way to break the weirdness you call a curse. I'm sure once the weirdness disappears, you'll go and leave me." I hope my guess is not correct.

Why would he know?

"No need to rush. Gradually everything will improve if you intend well. I'm going ahead." After smiling knot. Bella walked out of the room. Nathan was still staring at him from where he stood.

What his heart is made of.

"Less what am I?" Nathan muttered back to face the glass and stared fixedly at the figure of himself. Perfect! Yes, it is very perfect in the eyes of women who do not want to have a serious relationship.

While outside, Bella was regulating her heartbeat before it finally came out. The mini market is already open. Some visitors seem to exist. Bella walks while checking if there may be an arrangement of items that are not neat.

"Mrs Bella." Silla waved at him. Soon Bella walked towards the cashier.

"What's wrong?"

"Sit here." Pointing to the plastic chair beside her.

"Let me help you put things in."

"No. You're the deputy manager."

"Don't mind that word." Bella smiled then helped Silla put the items into the shopping bag.

"The total is 145 thousand Sis." After giving her change, Silla turned her body towards Bella." What exactly is your relationship." Tanya Silla whispered.

"What relationship?"

"You and Mr Nino?"

"Just misunderstand." Bella replied quickly.

"Oh. Misunderstand what problem?" I feel like they have a special relationship. But where is it possible? Is Mr Nino blind? Bella looks so bad?

Everyone who does not know what history is like, of course sneers at Nathan's interest and thinks everything is strange. So many other options are more beautiful and glamorous but why did the choice fall to Bella? A woman who looks bad.

"It's not important to explain."

"Of course." Answer Bella slowly.

It's so arrogant anyway? Ugly just pretentious not interested.

"Sorry Brother. I want to buy refillable water." Silla smiled knot. There is little plan to teach Bella a lesson in order to get her sense of relief avenged.

"Oh yes Brother. It cost 20 grand."

"Hm." The buyer gave the money." Please take it to my car ya." Baby smiled.

"Em Bella's. It just so happens that the kids are still taking care of the stuff in the warehouse. Please take care of that." Pinta Silla.

"Yes okay." Bella complies with the request Tania protested.

At the same time Nathan came out of the back hallway. His gaze was immediately fixed on Bella who was walking out.

Damnit. Pimply. Why did Mr. Nino come out.

Nathan rushed out to catch up. He briefly stared intently at Silla before finally leaving.

"My car is there." Point it across the street 20 meters away.

"Oh yes." Just as Bella bends down to pick up, Nathan takes over the job. Bella looked over as well as the buyer who was immediately fascinated.

"So buy it or not?" Nathan rebuked when the buyer stood staring at him.

"Oh yes Brother." Gee. I just saw this employee. He's very handsome.

Bella just stood there staring at Nathan. His breath gentled softly as the confession of attraction struck his feelings. He did not blame the women who had deceived Nathan. Of course it is not easy to reject the charm as well as he feels now.

"Why would you." Nathan's words make Bella's daydreams crumble.

"All the male employees are in the warehouse." Bella answered, taking her eyes off.

"Should have been rejected. You're a woman too. Who told you to?"

"No need to zoom in. It's a small matter."

"Are you strong enough to lift it?"

"Surely strong." Bella replied indifferently even though Nathan wanted her help acknowledged.

"Don't you realize I'm paying attention?" After hearing the answer, Bella became convinced that Nathan was not sincere in helping.

"Thank you Mr. Nino for your attention. Unfortunately I wasn't impressed." Bella leaves Nathan with an upset face.

"Cih snobbish. See what I can do to get your attention." Nathan walked in and walked over to the cashier's desk." You told him that?" Pointing towards Bella who was sitting.

"What did you say, sir?"

"Lifting this up." Nathan grabs a gallon of empty mineral water and throws it away without a care to visitors who are shopping.

Silla's face turned nervous. He glanced briefly at Bella while cursing inwardly.

God fucking. It's all because of Bella. Why should I yell when so many people!!

"Sorry Sir. The male employee was in the barn so I.."

"No excuses! You shouldn't be the one to do the job to someone else!"

Nathan's anger looks inappropriate. But what can I do. He has power there and can rule freely.

The injection of funds released by Eldar was no joke. The amount was equivalent to buying the place to the point that the owner could build a new branch.

"I'm okay Sir. Don't make the problem bigger." Bella without looking at Nathan or Silla. He knew if what Nathan was doing was merely to draw his sympathies.

"I'm trying to defend you."

"It is better that Mr. Nino is professional so that my judgment does not get worse." Bella moved out of her place. He intended to leave so that Nathan would stop scolding Silla.

Oh God. What the woman's brain is made of. I tried to help but he dropped me.

"I won't repeat it again, sir. If necessary I will tell the employees and explain about Mr. Nino's special relationship with Bella." Nathan let out a rough breath while turning to Bella who was seen checking the messy shelves." What is Mr. Nino's relationship with Bella?" Her baby is trying to find a loophole to vilify Bella.

"He's my wife." Silla smiled strangely.

"I Wife?" Reply staggered.

"Yes. He's mad at me and if I see you tell him to! You'll deal with me!" Pointed his chest and left.

Nathan re-ignited his interest to the point that he could not think clearly and spew the word perfunctory. This is the first time she has admitted to a relationship with a woman, even calling her a wife.
