I'll ask myself, How do I enjoy my heartbreak?

"Ma, eat a lot of yes, after this should eat medicine," said Bella wiping the remnants of food that was on the sides of her mother's lips that kept staring at her.

"Ma, from now on let me take care of you, Nakesha will always be by your side, I'm sorry to let you look for me so long, until you're like this" Bella said, clutching her mother's warm hand again, kissed his palm, somehow? suddenly her mother's tears came down even though her face was still flat, her eyes began to move randomly trying to observe Bella's face, seeing that Bella was surprised, did her mother understand what she said? Bella smiled happily, and unconsciously her own tears flowed

"Ma, why are you crying?, don't cry, I'm here now," Bella said, wiping away her mother's tears and herself.

"Nakesha?" Said her mother trying to hold Bella's face, Bella saw that it felt really good.

"Yes, Ma, it's me."

"Nakesha, my son, Nakesha, they kidnapped you?" Mother said Bella immediately pulled him in her embrace, she hugged him very tightly, Bella did the same thing, hugging tightly the body of her mother who felt very thin, like hugging a bone.

But that warmth can not beat anything, Bella is willing to do anything to continue to be able to feel this warmth, tears of longing that has gathered 20 years, flowing gracefully between her two beautiful eyes, finally mother and son can be reunited. Bella's mother stroked her hair very slowly and was filled with feelings.

"What are you doing here?" The woman's voice suddenly appeared, resuscitating Bella, making her let go of her mother's embrace, staring at Nakesha already in the doorway.

Bella wiped her tears, her mother looked confused looking at Bella and Nakesha a few times.

"Nakesha?" He said he saw Nakesha and turned to Bella.

"No Ma, I'm your Nakesh, you come out" said Nakesha, hugging her mother's resigned head, trying to keep her mother from seeing Bella.

"I'm not going out, she's my real mother, you can't separate me from my mother" Bella said, she couldn't stand Nakesha's behavior anymore

"Then what? You're his real son, but where have you been these 20 years?, you've lived a good life, left him alone and for 20 years I've been looking after him, even if you don't have a lot of money like you, we live happily."

"It wasn't my fault, I wanted to look for it, and didn't you know we were forcibly separated?" Bella said once again tried to speak in a kind tone to Nakesha, trying to make Nakesha understand her situation, instead of her happy to be separated from her mother even though she was exchanged for a life of treasure.

"Still you can't take my mom, though,"

"She's my mother Nakesha!" Bella said impatiently.

"Well, you want your mother?"

"Then, in exchange, give your man and your life to me!, can you do it?" Nakesha said with reddened eyes, looking at Bella with great hatred.

Bella was silent, her eyes looking straight at Nakesha's eyes? Whahuh? He wants Angga? How could he ask Angga in exchange for his mother? why is this woman so cruel?.

"Are you not ashamed? Asking for things you don't have, I thought you were a good woman even if your temperament was bad, but I didn't expect you to have me swap my lover for my mother?!" Bella stared at Nakesha.

Nakesha laughed a little cynically, looking at Bella as if to demean her.

"Look, at the end of the day you're just a selfish woman Miss, you've had a wonderful life, your man is rich and protected you even made this place like a military headquarters, and you're still asking for the only thing I have? You can't have it all, choose it, your man or your mother? I wonder, how much can you give up this wonderful life of yours just for my mom?" Nakesha said with a mocking laugh.

"That's not fair." Bella said shaking her head, her face was sad, she knew how deep she felt about Angga, she was so dependent on him, she didn't see him for a day, she really missed him. But she only has one mother in this world? and he no longer wants to part with her.

"Hahaha, you just found out that the world is unfair Miss, oh yeah I forgot? You've been living really well these 20 years, haven't you? Where my mom and I have to work hard just to survive, my mom is the only one I have, if you want to take it, then give me your life!" Nakesha said again.

Bella can't take it anymore, she slaps Nakesha, what does this woman know about her life? Surviving 20 years in prison, when he thought he would be free, unfortunately he turned out to be killed, had to live in the shadows of others, he said, now he can't even go anywhere freely because his safety is threatened, and when he finds love and his mother, he must exchange the two in order to have one of them.

Nakesha who received the slap could only stare at Bella with her red eyes extinguished.

"Miss, Mr. Angga will be here any minute, " Judy told Bella.

Bella heard that, her hands clenched tightly, she then looked at her mother for a moment who looked resigned in Nakesha's arms, looked at Nakesha with a full glare, Nakesha replied, she took her bag, she took her bag, then turn around and walk out.

"Hey, miss, don't regret your decision, if you choose that man, then I will make sure for the rest of your life, you will never see your mother again" Nakesha said loudly.

Bella who heard it was silent, her hands were getting clenched, she was holding all her emotions, if not well educated, maybe Bella would have attacked the woman more than before.

"I'll tell you if I've made up my mind" said Bella again in a stout voice, her heart muddled, sad and angry together, making her head feel like breaking again.

Bella then immediately came out of the room, did not want to make a rash decision, because taking a decision when full of anger is the most inadmissible thing, certainly only regrets that there.

Nakesha smiled complacently, that selfish woman? How could she possibly let go of her beautiful life just for the sake of her mother, she wanted to see what she could do, Nakesha really hated her!.

"Ma, we're moving?" nakesha whispered
