Transmigration to a 17-Year-Old Girl
Chapter 22. Potent weapon

Bella is still observing Riko's house. While Riko had already first sat on the living room sofa. Bella does not realize, if Riko begins to impatiently see the behavior of Bella who feels as if she is innocent.

Though Bella deliberately so that her heart is calmer to be able to provide an explanation. Bella's eyes stopped when she looked at Riko. Riko gestured for her to sit down immediately.

Bella sat down slowly in front of Riko. Bella cries to see Riko's reaction. His cry sounded full of excitement made Riko's heart that had been angry, become melted. Riko felt guilty for making Bella cry.

"Bella, what's wrong with you? Did I scare you?" ask Riko to panic.

"Yes ... Hua ...." Bella's crying voice answered Riko's question.

"Bella, I'm not mad. You are calm, yes" said Riko confused.

Bella smiled in her heart. It turned out that it was very easy to make Riko's heart melt and forgive herself.

Bella wiped her tears with her hands and acted like a little girl who lost a toy. Her cute face, making Riko powerless to maintain her anger.

"Bella, where do you live now? If you need a place to stay, in this house, many rooms are empty. You can stay here," Riko said as she looked at Bella pity.

"I don't dare to stay with you, even though it's father's will. We're not officially married, and I don't want to be the subject of people's talk. You know for yourself, my mom's an actor. I don't want to be said to be worse than my mother. Stay home without ties," replied Bella sadly.

"I understand. Where do you live now?"

"I, stay at Mr. Grace's house" replied Bella hesitantly.

"What, you live in the house of Mr Grace? Kok can. Bella, I'll rent a rented house for you. So you don't have to hitchhike in someone else's house" Riko said.

"Abang, Bella is happy, stay at Mr. Grace's house. They already consider me as their own child" replied Bella.

"Alright, but if there's any trouble, you tell me. I will definitely help you," Riko said as she took a deep breath.

Riko wants to take Bella to Rahmat's house, but Bella forbids him. Bella has already spoken to Mr. Rahmat's family if Riko does not know about his disappearance. Bella doesn't want to be considered a liar.

Riko takes Bella only to the crossroads. Bella came home on foot which was not too far from Rahmat's house.

When she arrived home, Ms. Lestari had welcomed her and asked her to change clothes and rest. The attention that Bella had so much to expect all along, that Bella never got from the Bella family.

In the evening, Bella was invited by Bu Lestari and Pak Rahmat to have dinner together. Apparently they had an appointment with Gea and Farhan, a restaurant.

Farhan intends to marry Gea. Bella's heart aches as Hesty's death hasn't been in a year. They are ready to get married.

Not because she still loves Farhan, but what they do makes Bella suspicious of both of them. They must have something to do with Hesty's death.

Bella's trying to figure it out, through Gea. When Gea came to the toilet, Bella deliberately went to the toilet as well. And there Bella tried to ask Gea.

"Mbak Gea, are you not the family of Mr. Grace or Ms. Lestari? But why, you're asking them for their blessing?" bella asked while washing her hands.

"True, we're not their family. We consider them like our own parents. Especially after their youngest child died," Gea replied unsuspectingly.

"So they have a dead child?" ask Bella again.

"Yes, pity Hesty. He died after falling from the roof of the building. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have talked to you about this. Let's go back to the dinner table," Gea asked.

Bella hurriedly followed Gea's steps towards where they were eating. Bella still can't get a bright spot to know what really happened.

Bella is still not satisfied with what she got from Gea. She still doesn't know how she can find out all the truth so she will be able to live her new life as Bella with no past burden.
