Awkward Atmosphere

"Yes..." Diana couldn't say anything more, she didn't even dare to look at the face of the man who was shaking her hand at the moment.

Bella was increasingly fed up with seeing the drama-filled scenes that she had continuously witnessed since Diana and her family lived in this house. Bella started walking, trying to disappear in the crowd of people who felt very strange to her eyes.

"Bella!" Ricky immediately called the woman he loved. Meanwhile, he was not yet satisfied with letting go of his longing.

Bella turned her head, without answering, she just smiled a little, hoping they would ignore her and let her go. Ricky immediately walked over to Bella, he didn't want to lose Bella so soon.

"Can I save your cell phone number, Bella?" asked Ricky. Every time he faced Bella, Ricky's voice became softer and deeper. Yes, his voice even showed that he really loved this woman.

"Sure," Bella answered briefly. She took her cellphone from her bag and gave Ricky her personal telephone number.

Diana, who witnessed this, felt disappointed for some reason. Strange isn't it? even though he had just met Ricky. Diana couldn't lie to her feelings that right now, she was attracted to Ricky

"Okay, thanks Bella? Can I contact you once in a while?"

"Okay. That's all for now, okay? I'm going to my room." After showing her last smile, without asking permission from the old people who were standing not far from her place, Bella immediately stepped up the stairs to the second floor.

Mr. Hermawan felt disappointed with Bella's attitude. Even at times like this, he could still show his hatred for his mother and half-sister. Hermawan felt bad for his friend, especially since his arrival this afternoon not only discussed business matters, but also discussed Ricky's interest in Bella.

However, seeing Bella's very bad attitude, Mr. Hermawan was hesitant to match his daughter with his friend's proud son. Remembering that Erick Martin is not just anyone. Their family was a very prominent family in Spain and also very rich. Yes, really rich, even one of the richest people in Europe.

But in Ricky's eyes, Bella's attitude like that was not an important problem for him. He only wanted Bella, only Bella. Mr. Martin, who was a little surprised to see Bella's impolite attitude, also didn't mind too much. As long as his son loved the girl, it didn't matter to him. But the wife certainly has different thoughts. Mama Ricky has never met Bella, if she is in this place right now. Of course, he would not agree to his beloved son marrying an arrogant and disrespectful woman. Herliana would definitely prefer Diana as her daughter-in-law.

"How about having dinner? You're not in a rush, are you?"

"My wife has prepared dinner, because our youngest child is coming home today. So, next time we have a two-family dinner, how about that?

"You have another son, don't you? I forgot. Why have you never invited him?"

"That one child is a bit stubborn and difficult to manage. This only requires his older brother to come and pick him up so he can go home for a while."

"Oh yeah? hahahaha... his name is Randy, right? Looks like he's the one most similar to you in nature. Both stubborn."

"Hahahaha...but this is even tougher. When there's a dinner party, I'll force him to come along. He's no less handsome than his older brother, he's also taller and more muscular."

"Wow... this one alone is extraordinary, isn't it? Turns out you have two great ones."

"Hahaha... okay. Then, we'll excuse ourselves. Miranda, Ricky and I will say goodbye first. Diana, Uncle, go home first, okay? Thank you for the roses, your aunt really likes them."

"Yes Uncle, you're welcome. Be careful on the road," said Diana.

"Ricky will say goodbye first, Uncle, Auntie...um, Diana, I'll excuse myself. See you later!" said Ricky as he walked towards the car parked in the yard. Meanwhile Diana, Mr Hermawan and Mrs Mira escorted their guests to the front of the house.

Ricky looked at Bella's car which was right next to his car, Ricky was really happy. His meeting with Bella today was truly amazing. Yes, Bella looks very beautiful. The most beautiful woman Ricky has ever seen in his life. Because of Bella too, Ricky even ignored the other women who looked at him with admiration.

Randy frowned, this was a situation he hadn't felt in a long time, maybe almost two years since they last had dinner together. Just a few days before Ricky flew to America.

Seeing the delicious dishes in front of his eyes didn't make Randy very appetizing. Tonight he was forced to be absent to supervise his club and sat with his family eating dinner made by his mother.

"Mama has made your favorite steak, why don't you eat it?" Mrs Herliana asked her youngest son.

"Not hungry," he answered simply. Randy prefers to drink a glass of wine to fill his stomach.

"Mama, you made dinner on purpose today, you should eat it!" Hearing his father's words didn't make Randy a good boy and he immediately ate his food.

Ricky sighed, today he hopes to be able to enjoy dinner with his parents and younger brother feeling as happy as before. However, seeing Randy's attitude, which was very tough and difficult to understand, made Ricky think that this would be difficult. Ricky didn't know what made his little brother change so much.

Randy's cell phone sounded, someone must have called him. After glancing briefly at the cellphone screen, Randy immediately got up and looked for a quiet place to answer the call.

"Yes dear ?"

"Where are you ?" Bella asked. Whether he forgot or what, Randy had said that today he was going home to his parents.

"At my parents' house, didn't I tell you earlier?"

"Yeah... why are you talking so rudely? I'm bothering you, aren't I?"

"No, dear. I'm actually glad you called, so I can run away for a while."

"What event is there anyway?"

"Nothing, just a normal dinner. Coincidentally, my older brother just came back from America, so we celebrated his return a little."

"You have a brother? How come you never told me?"

"Yes, because there hasn't been the right time to tell the story. He just finished his PhD in America, so he hasn't been home for two years."
