Chapter 38: Aunty Bella
She could not hide her emotion after seeing Aunty Bella, her mother’s assistant, and close friend. With a trembling voice, she said, "A-aunty Bella, I’m little Mel; you still remember me, right?"
Bella was stunned for a moment before she felt the overflow of emotions in her heart.
"Young Miss? My lord, Y-you are this big already?" She walked toward Mel and held her hands gently; she couldn’t take her eyes off Mel’s beautiful face. "You are so beautiful. Aunty misses you." Bella said; Unbeknownst to her, her tears are starting to roll down her cheeks. She cries, not a sad cry; she cries because she was so happy to see the young miss. Now, she had grown into a beautiful woman; she looks like her mother.
In the past, when she was still Mel’s mother’s assistant, Mel was only ten years old. She often went to the office to go with her mother. During that time, Bella becomes familiar and close to her.
"I miss you to aunty Bella. It’s been a long time, huh!" Mel squeezes Aunty Bella’s hands gently. They hold their hand for a while, then Bella hugs Mel’s tightly.
"Aunty also do miss you, little Mel." She can’t hide her happiness; she smiles broadly.
After controlling their emotions, they could finally sit down and talked calmly. A while waitress brings the food they’ve ordered. They’ve decided to eat their meals first before continues talking, it’s well past dinner time, and after so much emotion was pouring, they are starving.
In no time, they finish eating and begin to talk seriously about their purpose to see her. Mel finally said, "Aunty Bella, it was me who was looking for you, not Hiro."
Bella a little surprised; she never thought Mel was looking for her. She felt they met by accident.
