The ringing of the mobile phone was immediately heard from Ben's phone. The man asked permission to lift her up for a while. He walked a little away from Bella.
"I'll pick up the phone for a minute!", she said as she walked away.
"Yes, please! I'm gonna try knocking on La's door, ", before she finishes her sentence, Bella's been pulled from the room where she knocked. Then it disappeared like smoke, even Ben himself did not realize it because he was busy receiving news.
"What's the matter?", asked Ben who now had his voice turned cold.
"Someone exchanged our goods at the port, sir! They replaced him with a toy gun!", as much as possible Relly held back emotions when reporting this to his boss. He was furious too.
"Who was so brave, ", Ben almost yelled because his anger was ready to explode. But he remembered that this place was not right for him to do that.
"Who is so brave to do that?!", exclaimed the man in the cowboy hat slowly while gritting his teeth. And so he restrained himself while peeking at the base of his brow. His head suddenly dizzy.
"We're still tracking him, sir!", replied Relly across the channel.
"Alright, then I will return to headquarters now!", said Ben did not think long. The man also hung up the phone.
The eccentric man turned around while putting his phone in his shirt pocket. He walked slowly towards the door of the room that had not opened for him. As soon as he turned around, he realized that Bella was no longer there, she seemed to have gone inside. That means it is true if he is not accepted by the occupants of the room.
Ben stretched his hand closer towards the door. His palms were already clenching to knock on the door of the room. He was very sorry for not being able to persuade his lover any longer. It was an urgent situation that required him to immediately leave from there. Because he had to deal with this matter directly.
Pardon me! Ben said the word in his heart while pulling back his hand that had not touched the door of the room. The man lowered his head as he walked away from there.

"Where are you going?", asked Victor to his friend who seemed to be in a hurry to get out of the house. Bervan who was still angry at the man in the cowboy hat turned his face, not wanting to look at the fierce uncle. Previously, they were playing catch the ball in the front yard.
"Something happens, I have to go back to headquarters!", the man stopped and replied in a flat tone. He hid his gloom because he had not received forgiveness from his friend's sister. He also took the time to look at the little boy next to Victor who did not want to see his face at all. The man sighed softly.
"I'll come back as soon as possible to apologize to your sister after my business is done!", he added, hiding his emotions.
Actually, he pointed this sentence to Bervan so that the little boy would not be angry with him anymore. I don't know since when he became so concerned with the opinions of others, let alone from a child like Bervan it. Ben realized that his cold and cruel self already had a lot of changes. But he will not change himself in the face of all his enemies. Especially now, he had awakened his cold-blooded soul to solve the problem.
The white sports car that he originally used to go to this house, now he uses it again to return to his headquarters. He needs accommodation that has more speed, so that he can get to his headquarters quickly. The man was already furious and already wanted to slaughter those who were looking for trouble with him.
Victor, Bervan and Uncle Alex stared at the white sports car out of the yard. Everyone was silent, no one made the slightest sound. Until the fence of the courtyard of the house was closed, silence was still among them all.
"Papa, where is Uncle going?", Bervan wiggled Victor's arm which he had been holding since.
Before answering his son's question, Victor smiled. His heart seemed to be fed something that warmed up whenever a child similar to himself called him by such a name. Though not long ago they met, but this inner bond felt very strong.
No need for a DNA test or anything like that. From his heart he was very sure if this little child was his own biological son. Because she knows very well how Bella, the spoiled woman who always wanted to be obeyed her will was still an honorable woman who always kept her precious things. So Victor can confirm that Bella only did that with him. Moreover, there was Baz, his older brother who always looked after him with great protection. Already here alone, he has gained confidence if this little child is indeed his biological son.
"Uncle Ben will return to his base to take care of the problems that are going on there! Later he would definitely come back here again if the problem there was already done!", Victor answered his son's question while stroking the back of Bervan's head. His eyes were filled with affection.
"I didn't ask when he came back? After all who expected him to return!", Bervan instantly turned himself to the side while folding his hands in front of the chest. The little boy also sounded snorting. He was only upset that the fierce uncle had not apologized to his aunt.
"Papa thinks you can't stand playing with Uncle Ben anymore! It looks like you guys are so close!", Victor tilted his head while putting on a smile to tease the little boy.
"No, we're not close!", Bervan immediately replied he didn't accept. The little boy then faced his father with a stern look. He was serious about his answer. As for the loyal Uncle Alex who accompanied them since earlier, mouched his smile on the back of his master's wheelchair.
"I'm still upset with Uncle Ben! She hasn't apologized to Auntie!", she explained, not wanting her father to misunderstand the question she first asked.
"Well, you seem to love your aunt very much, huh?!", Victor again stroked the back of Bervan's head. He was happy because the little boy was quick to adapt and was immediately close to the people in his house. The worries he had before were gone. Because he was afraid that his son would be unhappy once he got here.
"of course! Aunty was very kind to me!", replied the little boy so sure.
"Then, did Bervan love Papa?", Uncle Alex who was behind his master was stunned to hear the question. He became nervous waiting for answers from Bervan for his master. Victor had to muster the courage to ask this question. His heart is beating now. It is like waiting for an answer when you are expressing love to someone.
"Of course, Papa! Bervan also loves Papa very much, just as I love Mama, I love Papa too! I'm happy because I finally got to be just like the other friends at school, who have mom and dad. Now that I have both!", replied Bervan, touching Victor's arm and blinking innocently. While the two adult men held their breath after hearing the answer from Bervan. It was amazing to touch their hearts. Uncle Alex who was nobody was moved to hear it.
"Mama said I was special because there was no Papa with us. But now Mama says I'm perfect because I already have Mama and Papa too! I love Papa very much! Mama also said that Papa is sick now and needs my help so that Papa can recover! So Papa doesn't have to worry anymore, I'll do anything so that Papa can recover. Then we could play and go on a picnic together!", the little boy was so excited as he continued his words. And Victor's eyes were made hot by all the babbling of the little boy. There were already puddles of tears filling his eyes. Likewise with Uncle Alex who was also moved to hear the answer of his very adult little master.
"Come, Honey! Hugging Papa!", Victor spread his arms and did not have to wait for long for Bervan to enter his arms immediately.
Hugging his son, he wiped the tears that had fallen, dripping down his chin. This haru feeling wrapped up the entire part of his heart that was always filled with worry and anxiety. She felt very grateful that Bella had given birth to such a handsome and intelligent son. The thought of the boy was so mature, that made him even more proud.
And what makes it even more important is when Bervan explained that his former self was special, now it has changed perfectly. Yeah, because Victor feels that way. He feels perfect after the arrival of Bella and Bervan now. I can feel like I have a complete family now.
Even so, there was also regret to hear the little boy mention the time when Bervan had not known of his existence. Victor could not imagine how the little boy felt, and how the two went through the difficult times together. In the midst of his happiness, there was a scar that the man deeply regretted.
"Master,,,", he began to open his voice somewhat hesitantly, awkwardly to ask this of his master.
"What's the matter?", Victor let go of his embrace of Bervan. Then look towards him.
"Look, that, actually I was also confused as to how to ask him!", Uncle Alex rubbed his own fist while putting on a doubtful expression.
"Tell me, what's the matter exactly?", Victor asked impatiently.
"Look, Sir! I have not moved the suitcase belonging to Miss Bella and also Mr. Bervan,", when he had not finished speaking, but the little boy in front of Victor immediately spoke.
"No, no, no, no, no!", Bervan wiggled his index finger in front of his face as he closed his eyes.
"Call me Bervan! I'm not too old to be called master, Uncle Alex! Please just call me Bervan, okay!", the little boy doesn't want to be called with such a stiff name, but his adorable and commanding behavior even showed that he deserved to be called master. Both Victor and Uncle Alex held their smiles.
"Well, Bervan!", Uncle Alex nodded his head after the boy's wishes.
"Yes, Sir! Miss Bella and Bervan's milk suitcases haven't been moved! I didn't know where to put it?", and the middle-aged man continued his question with the awkwardness he had withstood earlier.
"Just put it on us, ", Victor stopped his own words when he immediately realized the meaning of Uncle Alex's words.
They are family, but legally, Bella is not yet his legal wife. It still feels awkward for them to instantly live as one whole family. Actually what he was worried about was Bella's opinion on this. He was afraid that the woman would not agree with his idea of staying in one room. Because after all, he was also very eager to sleep with his son who he had just met.
"We'd better wait for Bella!", the man continued to expel his worries. This matter is indeed bainknya discussed first.
"Alright, Master!", Uncle Alex nodded in understanding.
Why not just put it in Papa's room?! The little boy kept this question in his heart. Adults are too confused in their thinking. They are one family, so of course the suitcase and the property of his mother can be put in his papa's room, right. Bervan thinned his lips as he shook his head slowly, he had always been ignorant of such a complicated way of thinking of adults. She wants to sleep with her mom and dad. Feel the complete family, just like his friends have.

"Do you really not want to see her, Rose?", asked Bella who was sitting casually on the single bed of the woman she was talking to. His mouth was full of snacks.
"No!", replied Rose confidently. He was also enjoying his own snack after rolling his still wet hair with a towel. He's still angry at his sinister master right now. That man's words were too painful!
"You had a bath or were you doing asceticism, actually?! I thought you were doing something strange because for a long time you didn't answer my call at the door!", Bella kept putting snacks in her mouth slowly.
"I heard you call me! But how else! My stomach hurt so much after I finished my shower! So I pooped before I met you! When I was done, I heard his voice! So I eavesdropped behind the door until she left and her voice was no longer heard. Only then did I pull you inside quickly, because I knew she was just moving away to take the call, right?!", Rose sat herself in the window frame of the room. Then continued again enjoying a pack of potato chips in his hand.
"You're! I thought you were crying hysterically here!", Bella said casually. He finally felt calm after knowing Rose was fine. Even perfectly fine like not having any problems. Only a little bit of annoyance still felt from the woman. But that was enough to make Bella feel very calm.
"When, judging from the way you escaped, you are like a woman who is hurt! That's why your sister and I are so worried, just in case you do anything because you're too sad!", added Bella again while looking around the room. The room was not as large as his, but it felt comfortable even if there were both of them. And he thought talking to Rose was fun, like he had a sister.
"Yes, at first I was indeed very hurt!", Rose replied as she pursed her lips. He recalled the time when his sinister master was upsetting him.
"But your brother said that's what that guy's real nature is! You have to be patient in dealing with it! And if she loves you, she'll change her vices slowly!", Bella says what Victor told her.
"Yes, I know!", Rose sighed while throwing her gaze out the window. While Bella folded her eyebrows in, confused but also curious about the continued speech of Victor's sister.
"I know that my sinister master does have a little patience! I knew! I also don't blame him completely on this matter. Because actually yesterday I did the same thing, and he's still trying to be patient for me! So it was only natural that this time he was angry! But I still don't justify what he said to me! His words were too harsh, and my heart was not ready to accept them! So I immediately cried", the woman told me while occasionally looking at the plastic packaging of the snacks she held.
Rose knew indeed if the person did not have a great limit of patience. Since his first meeting, also with some events involving him with his sinister master, he had indeed become more familiar with that person. But, sometimes the human heart is not always ready to accept the clasps and harsh sentences. That's how Rose felt. And it also reminded her of her past with her stepfamily. Where his life was destroyed there.
"I'm used to harsh words and being treated harshly. I don't care because I think they're nobody. So I don't have to feel heartache. But since Mister means so much to me, so it feels like I can't accept him treating me as rudely as that!", he added after a bit of nostalgia with his bad memories. He looked out the window.
"Rose,, ", Bella is at a loss for words. Although he really wanted to ask, what had been passed by this woman. Bella remembers her brother's wrong revenge. And he now feels guilty, maybe this is how his brother feels. Although she did not do it, Bella was part of the reason her sister did it. Bella really wants to apologize to Rose for what she's been through.
tock, tock, tock, tock,,
"Mama! Mama! Is Mom still inside? Papa wanted to ask where we would sleep later!", Bervan knocked on the door rather loudly while shouting from outside in his innocent voice. Without knowing that the question can also have meaning for adults.
If Rose was just groaning, bewildered by the intention of the little boy's question. Then Bella threw a snack in her hand unconsciously, because she seemed to understand the purpose of the question from her son. But he doesn't know how to answer it.
