Hendry pulled his car over when his phone rang. He hurriedly took the phone from his suit pocket and picked up the phone from the man.
"How's it.?" Asked Hendry coldly. It's been more than 12 hours that he told people to look for Bella's whereabouts, but until this morning no one has been able to find Bella's whereabouts.
They've checked into Bella's late mother's house, but the one they've been looking for has been leaving the house since last afternoon. Just after being quietly discharged from the hospital.
"We've lost track of suburban housing." Answer someone across there.
Hendry grunted in annoyance. Can't seem to rely on her people to find Bella through traffic cctv footage. The only way is to meet Arlan, the man who took Bella out of the hospital and drove her away from home.
"Search information on all residents of the house there.! If you need to, you go to each one of the houses that are there.!" Hendry exclaimed, he then disconnected his phone and returned to drive his car to the company.

Bella's condition this morning looks bad, her face is lethargic and not excited because of lack of sleep. Last night he just slept at 2 and was up at 5. It was also forced to wake up because of nausea that ended in vomiting. After several times removing her bowels, Bella looks increasingly limp and not powered.
The pregnant woman finally chose to rest in the room, not out since last night. Until breakfast and drinks are delivered to the room by ART.
Eating so tasteless, Bella only ate a few mouthfuls.
"Take the vitamins and nausea reliever medicine first Non." Said Bik Lastri while thrusting it at Bella. The vitamins and drugs came from the hospital where Bella was treated yesterday.
"Thank you Bik." Reply Bella lirih. He drank it at once.
Bik Lastri was still faithfully standing at the side of his master's bed, staring softly at Bella's pale face.
She felt pity, pity for her employer who was somehow pregnant with whose child. Bella said she was pregnant, without telling her who her father was.
"Non Bella wants something.? Just tell Auntie if you want to eat certain foods." As someone who has been pregnant 3 times.
Usually when you are young pregnant, there must be a strange request. So Bik Lastri did not hesitate to offer it to Bella, considering that the pregnant woman only lived three with her and also Dina.
Bella remained silent. No, he did not want any particular food he wanted to eat.
It's just, Bella wants to smell the scent of masculine perfume directly from her person.
Yes, Bella misses someone with a masculine perfume scent that has been quite comfortable for the sense of smell.
And because of that too, last night Bella was restless until she could not sleep.
But how else, his decision to stay away from Hendry was unanimous. Now Bella can only resist the desire without being able to feel the masculine aroma of Hendry's body.
"No, thanks Bik. Bik Lastri can continue with other work." Said Bella with a forced smile.
"OK Non, I'm down first."
Bella just nodded faintly. He then got out of bed and went to the balcony of his room. Standing on the side of the guardrail, looking straight ahead with a glaring gaze.
Decided to stay away from Hendry to get calm, but the opposite happened. There was a feeling of longing that even Bella herself could not prevent. The longing eventually causes anxiety because it never gets treated. Makes Bella trouble sleeping and an always restless mind.
Bella breathed a heavy sigh. Maybe his longing for Hendry due to his pregnancy hormones, so difficult to control or tepis.
Slowly Bella lowered her head, her gaze stopping on her still flat stomach. His hands reflexively gave a soft swipe.
"It's not that Mama won't bring you guys together with Papa, but can you just miss Mama.? Don't make the situation any harder." Bella with teary eyes.
She invites her two children to speak from heart to heart, despite knowing they will not respond. But Bella believes they can hear and understand her feelings.
...******...
Actually, Hendry had met with Arlan several times, but only limited to ordinary meetings at official events. Not so close, just getting to know.
Hendry arrived earlier than the hour they had set.
He invited Arlan to meet because he wanted to ask about Bella's whereabouts, it made Hendry impatient and wanted to rush to find out where Bella currently lives.
Tapping the table with his index finger, Hendry occasionally looked at the door, then looked at the watch in his hand. So on, I don't know how many times Hendry did it until finally the door opened and Arlan appeared from behind the door. At once Hendry immediately stood up to welcome Arlan's arrival and reached out to shake.
"Sorry to interrupt your time." Hendry.
Arlan only nodded small and smiled faintly.
"Please sit. Let's order some food first." Get Hendry polite.
"Thank you, I just had lunch. Just have a cold drink." Arlan refused subtly. He then circled the table and sat across from Hendry, making it more free to chat in front of him.
Hendry nodded, then called out to the waiter who was waiting outside the room.
Both of them ordered drinks only, even though Hendry had not had lunch. But because Arlan only ordered drinks, Hendry so hesitant if you have to order lunch.
"I hear you're working on a project with Papa Baskoro's company." Said Hendry just a pleasantries while waiting for their drinks to come. He wanted to have a serious talk with Arlan, so waiting for the situation was possible without any interruption in the middle of the road while he was talking.
"Hemm, just building a small mall out of town." Answer Arlan.
He actually already knew the purpose of Hendry invited him to meet, but tried to be relaxed and reluctant to discuss it first before Hendry himself spoke.
They only discuss their respective companies until the waiter comes to deliver the order. As soon as the waiter came out, then Hendry expressed his purpose why invite Arlan to meet.
"I'm looking for Bella." Said Hendry without further ado.
"I don't think I can help you." Answer Arlan casually. No matter if Hendry looks earnestly looking for the whereabouts of Bella, to invite him to meet at the restaurant, but all that will not make Arlan renege on his promise to Bella. As long as Bella doesn't let him tell Hendry whereabouts, Arlan will keep his mouth shut.
"You were the last time you were with Bella. You helped Bella out of the hospital. So let me know where Bella lives. She's pregnant with my kids, I want to make sure she's always okay." Hendry stared expectantly.
Arlan was silent, gulping down his drink and staring at the watch in his hand.
He can do what if Bella's been threatened to keep her mouth shut. Besides, Arlan felt he had no right to interfere with Bella's problem. He only helped Bella as Bella requested, nothing more.
So if there's anything beyond Bella's request, Arlan won't be voicing.
"I have to go back to the company, there's a meeting in 1 hour." Arlan said as he moved from his seat. He had reason not to linger with Hendry, because he had to lead a meeting in his company.
"Do you have the heart to let Bella go through her pregnancy alone.?" Hendry. Hendry's words managed to stop Arlan's steps, now the man turned to look at him.
"I have no right to interfere, staying away from you is Bella's decision." Sahut Arlan firmly.
"If you're really worried about her, try harder to find Bella's whereabouts." His words sounded like innuendo in Hendry's ear.
"Excuse me." Arlan said goodbye and just walked out of the room.
Hendry clenched his hand in annoyance. Though Hendry had refrained from being calm in front of Arlan and asked in a good way, but Arlan did not even want to give any clues about the whereabouts of Bella.
