Pebinor From the Past
Terms of Mr. Bisri

Nathan tried to be friendly. But Mr. Bisri's response made the atmosphere gripping. Not just a loud tone of speech. The look on his face and the sharp gaze was quite a heart-shrinking Nathan.

The atmosphere is strange. Stiff old man Bella. Shouldn't she be proud to have a daughter-in-law like me.

Bella has slowed down her work. He hopes Nathan can get along with Mr. Bisri. But the truth is not appropriate. Half an hour passed and there was silence.

Nathan breathes a sigh of relief when Bella comes out with a tray filled with cold syrup.

"Please Mas." Said Bella offering and then sat down by Mr. Bisri's side." Tomorrow I'm going back to work so you don't have to bother coming here." Nathan smiled strangely. The attitude of the Son and the Father both makes it frustrating. Bella's greeting sentence sounds like a subtle expulsion.

"I didn't come because of work." Reply firmly.

"Keep what?"

"Yes. Just wanted to see you." Can't the old man leave?!

"The neighbors don't know about my divorce. Here is also a village that most of the people like to gossip. So..."

"You refused. I intend to clarify this relationship." Nathan replied with emotion. His tone sounded so high that Mr. Bisri let out a long sigh." How Om. Am I doing this wrong?" Another imbibing.

It was so exciting for this kid.

"Must be wrong." Pak Bisri replied as he took a cup and sipped the cold tea.

"Where is my mistake? I'd like..."

"I don't agree." Mr. Bisri fast. Bella is silent, she wants to leave the decision to her father after his failure.

"What is the reason, Om? I'm the owner of the big company where Bella worked." Nathan tried to tell me about perfection. He was so sure Mr. Bisri immediately agreed to the relationship when high power was successfully held.

"Money does not guarantee that a person's life can last. What do you think my job is? Just a carpenter but my wife was happy until the end of life."

Nathan turned his face away while snorting. Her hopes of getting close to Bella through her family are dashed. He did not expect that what he considered perfect was meaningless in the eyes of Bella and Pak Bisri.

"From the very beginning of his relationship with Leo, I actually disagreed. Those office guys usually like to play women let alone big bosses like you. You'd better marry a poor man but full of responsibilities, son." Mr. Bisri's view turned to Bella.

Bella took a long breath. He was afraid that Nathan would back down when he heard the outrageous response from Mr. Bisri. But Bella also does not want to be hypocritical about her fear of a relationship.

"I've lost my taste with other women Om." Nathan replied slowly. His heart grew more and more interested in gaining blessing despite the vexation raging.

"Already Son. Bella also does not want to get married quickly. It'd be better if you don't come here often." I wonder how big his intentions are.

"I want to be serious, Om. Please state what I have to do." Nathan's response made Bella's feelings improve even though she wasn't quite sure.

"It seems obvious." Pointing towards Bella." I raised my son with unconditional love. But a man who had only known him a few years ago ruined his life. Terms are very easy if you are serious." Imbuh Pak Bisri chimed.

"What is Om?"

"You must have a greater affection than I, his real father." Pointing towards his chest.

"How to prove it how?"

"I will decide later. You just have to behave without being made up." Replied Mr. Bisri while standing up. The wish that was thrown was merely to keep Bella." You can talk until two. Then go away." Mr. Bisri patted Bella gently on the shoulder and walked in. He intended to give Nathan space to chat.

"Hey Bella. Why are your characters the same." Nathan asked in a whisper after making sure Mr. Bisri left.

"He's my father." Answer Bella slowly.

"If that I know."

"That's a natural thing."

"Hm yes." Nathan nodded while regulating the emotions that had been ignited since. Want to feel he screamed loudly but it will add to the worse situation.

"Usually Dad's not that tight. I was allowed to choose without any debate. Em if you want to give up, you better do it now." Imbuh Bella.

"That's your business, Mas."

"Can't be that."

"I've guessed that none of this is sincere." Nathan squeezed his thick hair while staring in frustration at Bella." If you're married just because of that weirdness, you better give me back my phone so I can be a bouncer again and get out of your life." That answer sounds like a threat.

"Eldar said you were my source of pleasure. That's why we should get married."

"Sorry Mas. For now I can't. There is no blessing either."

"Yes well okay. I'll prove my seriousness." Nathan took out a brown envelope and shoved it on Bella." Think of this as a beginning. Tomorrow we'll find a new phone for you so you don't have to work hot." Imblu explained.

"What's this?" Ask Bella without touching the envelope.

"Money."

"For what?"

"Wear to take care of your body so that your father will soon bless our relationship." Bella smiled knot.

"No. Take the money again. I don't want to take care of myself."

"Why?"

"For you to retreat in shame." Want to see your sincerity Mas.

This woman is really emotionally draining.

"Yes already. Wear it for your daily living expenses."

"Thank you Mas. But I still don't want to. My dad could be angry later. Bring back your money."

"Suppose as condolences." Nathan replied quickly. A little upset for him. But the greater the rejection in Bella, Nathan's desire to conquer the more passionate.

"Give it to Dad."

"Hm it's two o'clock. I have to go." Nathan pretended not to hear and left the envelope lying on the table." I want to say goodbye." Nathan half yelled. Bella let out a long sigh as she stood up to call Mr. Bisri. Not until the intention was fulfilled, Mr. Bisri was seen emerging from the middle room.

Politely Nathan kissed the back of Mr. Bisri's hand which was directly in reply to a gentle swab on the head. The treatment was very touching Nathan's heart which had been hungry for attention since his mother died.

"Be careful on the road." Imbuh Pak Bisri with a warm voice. Different from what was said earlier.

"Yes Om." Nathan replied nervously. Dad never even treated me like this. "I'm sorry." Her baby smiled knot.

Mr. Bisri just nodded and delivered Nathan's departure in the doorway while Bella remained inside. After Nathan's car left, Mr. Bisri went back in and sat down in front of Bella.

"You mind Dad saying that?"

"Not Well." Answer Bella slowly.

"Do you like that guy?" Bella is not flinching. Want to tell the truth but it feels heavy." I'm just trying to take care of you." Bella nodded.

"I don't want to choose. Now the decision is in your hands. Em I'm not good at picking a partner." Mr. Bisri breathed a heavy sigh.

"Can't be so, son. I'm just giving you conditions. The decision remains in your hands but remember yes. Never humble yourself to chase a man."

Bella nodded obediently recalling the moment she gave the terms that felt useless. According to him, marriage is the main condition of a relationship. So that Bella gave conditions to Leo to immediately apply.

"If he leaves. I have to be honest, there are many other men. I'm also afraid because Nathan isn't just a temporary person for us." Mr. Bisri smiled shadyly while sipping the rest of his tea.

Dad's right. I'm not a person worthy of Nathan. He should be with a rich and beautiful woman. Not with me. But I hope he stays.
