I used to adore you, adore you like crazy, but you changed everything, so love turned into a wound, and wounds made me numb.

" Ehm, Judy, what's my schedule after this?” bella said again

"No Miss, you're free after this" Judy said

"Alright, it looks like I can have lunch with you, but I'll go myself to the place where you want to eat" Bella said.

"Good, let's eat at the Imperial Palace, I'll be waiting for you there" Aksa said again.

"Alright," said Bella slightly smiling before turning around and leaving Aksa. Aksa again noticed Bella who went away.

Aksa immediately walked to his car, after he sat down, his assistant immediately handed over the data requested by Aksa earlier, Aksa watched him carefully, nothing suspicious, nothing suspicious, everything is really as said by many people earlier, the girl named Mika is proven by the documents, her photo is also herself, follow Angga's parents from the age of 5 years, and the, the same age when Bella came to the kingdom, Aksa became increasingly doubtful that the woman was Bella, but because it was too similar, he could not accept it.

Bella immediately got into her car, she immediately exhaled, she had to deal with Aksa again after this, although it looked easy, controlling the emotions and feelings was actually very tiring, she said, and Bella felt it all.

" I've already reported the situation to Mr. Angga Miss, Assistant Jang has already sent out some guards who will go undercover there, so you don't have to worry" Judy said.

" Alright," said Bella again, she stared at the street.

Before long their car arrived at the Emparial Palace restaurant, a large and magnificent place with Roman-style pillars, and gold-painted carvings, Bella came out gracefully, walking towards the entrance that is so large, it is indeed an ancient Roman style restaurant, visible from the many statues that become its decoration.

The waiter immediately greeted her, Judy immediately told him about Mika, Mika was immediately invited inside, between to a special room inside, the waiter opened the door, and the waiter opened the door, it seemed Aksa had been sitting quietly there, as soon as he saw Bella, he then stood up welcoming, his trademark smile looked coloring.

" Welcome Miss Mika Deya," Aksa said smilingly

" Thank you," said Bella smiling but frowning, Bella never introduced Mika's full name to Aksa, this man must have found out about her.

"Please sit down" said Aksa pulling one of the chairs in the room to Bella. Bella sits down, and Aksa sits beside her, Bella is quite impressed with the way Aksa treats women, if she does not know how Aksa is, she will also definitely be attracted to her.

The waiter immediately serves them, Bella immediately looks into the menu book that the waiter gave her.

" The beef steak here is the most delicious, don't want to try it Miss Mika?," said Aksa, she remembered how much Bella liked beef.

"Oh, I see, but I don't like beef, I'll order Simple samlmon seared with baby arugula only, " said Bella with a sweet smile, Aksa looked at the woman.

" All right, Charbroiletd kobe steak" said Aksa

" For my drink Strawberry juice only," said Bella with a smile, Aksa frowned, strawberry is the food most disliked by Bella, but this woman ordered the drink instead, Aksa remember if you eat strawberries, Bella will look acidity, even though the fruit is not sour.

" Don't want to try the wine here? "said Aksa offering

" It's too early to drink wine, I drink juice, " said Bella staring at Aksa.

" Well, give me the usual drink, and serve me the dessert I ordered," said Aksa, looking at the waiter, then back to Bella. The waiter immediately withdrew after receiving an order from them.

" What does Lord Aksa see me like that? " said Bella stared softly, even as she turned her face away, she tried as gently as possible, making Aksa really fascinated by Bella's behavior.

" I want to ask, do you have a twin?" said Aksa

" Yes, "said Aksa soberly but still showed his cautious attitude.

" It seems you are so curious about me because Miss Bella, where did Miss Bella go that you often ask? "

" He's dead" said Aksa with a sharp eye on Bella, trying to analyze the changes in the face and eyes of Bella, but nothing at all, the woman in front of him seemed very calm, as if she was very calm, as calm as the ocean was on a dark night, Bella did not even show any change in expression.

"Oh, then forgive me Mr. Aksa, I don't know about that," said Bella tried as calmly as possible even when listening to him, he was eager to vent his emotions, he said, how does Aksa so easily say Bella is dead?, even though it was Aksa who killed Bella!.

" It's okay" said Aksa soberly.

" Do you have a picture of him? I want to see how similar he is to me" Mika said.

Aksa noticed again Bella's face, she then took her phone, after looking for a while, she handed the phone to Bella, Bella saw him slightly show his surprised face when she saw his own photo on Aksa's phone, he was actually surprised, he did not expect Aksa to still keep her picture, instead Aksa hated her? why still keep her picture in her phone?, is it for mementos because she killed her already? bella's emotions immediately rose again, but of course she did not show it.

In the photo, Bella is silent, looks so gloomy and depressed, as sad as she used to be?, it was appropriate that Aksa was so fed up with her, who likes a sad woman like her first?.

" Well, I don't think he really looks like me, I admit, I was a little surprised, and what about his eyes? " said Bella, she always remembered how people first saw her, and her eyes were an oddity to many.

"Yes, he had a problem with his eyes from birth, his eyes were different from childhood" said Aksa observing Bella's eyes deeply, fortunately the contact lens from the doctor looked very natural, until even though Aksa looks at it carefully, there will be no difference.

Aksa continued to look at Bella's face, she was indeed completely different from Bella, so it was true that Bella was dead, this Mika was just similar to her, maybe they were twins, or what? For sure it looks like this Mika is not Bella, Aksa thought.

" It is fortunate that I do not have such eyes, it will look very striking when seen by people," said Bella handing back the phone to Aksa, Aksa noticed a photo of Bella plastered on her screen.

"However, it was her eyes that I missed so much, eyes that were so beautiful, different from others," said Aksa so gently still staring at the photo of Bella, it was as if he really missed the figure that was on his phone screen.

Deg... Bella's heart ached, as if someone hit her, how could she show such an expression?, so full of falsehood, how could she miss him if the one who eliminated Bella from this world was her?, he said?, it was hypocritical, Bella thought looking at Aksa hatefully, but that look was immediately thrown away.

"Well, which is not there, it is better to be willing, instead of you already have another woman," said Bella as if indifferent to the feelings shown by Aksa, Aksa looked at the woman, he really doesn't care?.

"Oh, Sania, she's not my woman, just a friend," said Aksa again smiling beautifully.

Friends yet so friendly? How can a friend sleep and make out in front of Bella? What kind of friend is that? Bella thought, but she just smiled calmly.

"Oh, I guess you and her are a couple" Bella said.

" No, how about you, how long have you been with Angga?, how do you like a guy so cold?"aksa said

"Hahaha, he's cold outside, but the only one who knows him is actually I'm Mr. Aksa, so yes in my opinion, I don't need to tell you what reason I chose him, he said, after all, we have been together since childhood, is it not common for us to be lovers? And fortunately he was not tempted by other women," said Bella giving her cynical look at Aksa. Aksa could catch that, she felt Bella offending her.

"What do you mean? "said Aksa

" Nothing, what I said is true isn't it? If he was tempted by another woman, I would be very sad, someone who had been so close to me from childhood, suddenly with another woman, I would be very jealous,"said Bella drank her strawberry juice a little, it felt quite sour, but she tried to hold it, why did the real Mika like this kind of drink? Think Bella.

" What would you do if that happened? "said Aksa wanted to know Bella's reaction.

"I? Probably just going to ask Angga who would he choose?, I don't want to spend my time trying to reclaim it, because if someone had already been enamored with someone else, I wouldn't want to spend my time trying to take it back, he will always do it again and again, I think it's my fate if it's sad enough, for what else to waste time on a man who doesn't like me, and I think I'm interesting enough to get another man, isn't that Mr Aksa? "said Bella smiling sweetly.

Aksa was silent, back when Bella found out she was with Sania, Bella was very sad, she kept begging and giving everything to get Aksa back to her, Aksa used to think the girl was really sad, really sad, Aksa not disliked Bella, he used to like the girl so much, knowing the girl as sweet as Bella would be his wife, certainly very happy, but his world was quite changed, the association also, too, too many more dazzling women approached until for him Bella was nothing, just a sweet girl who was too outdated, no longer attractive, her way of life was different from the pleasures of Aksa now, if he continues to bring Bella in his neighborhood, the good news will come down. But hearing the words that Mika said earlier, she slightly missed the innocence of the woman, these girls like Mika were too concerned with their ego.
