Chapitre 54: He's Much Better
Bella didn't know how to make Alice happy again. Then came the idea to contact Felix.
All this time, Felix was the only person Alice trusted besides herself.
***
"Hello, Felix! Can you come over here?" Bella asked over the phone.
[Yeah, I happen to want to go there too!] Felix answered.
"Good! Come quickly, Felix!" said Bella.
[Okay!]
The phone call has ended.
Then Diana came to her.
"Mommy, I want to be honest," Diana said, holding her mother's hand.
"Honest? Don't you always tell the truth to Mommy?" Bella asked, frowning.
"Yes, Mom. And this time I lied. I'm sorry, Mom," said Diana, lowering her head.
"Sorry for what, Honey?" she asked.
Then the little girl raised her head again.
"Mom, last night I quietly left the house," said Diana.
"Out of the house?" Bella frowned in confusion.
As she recalled ... last night Diana fell fast asleep with Daniel.
Bella also repeatedly visited Diana in her room. Even though she went back to sleeping in the same room with Alice again.
"Mom, my friend asked me out last night. She said there were a lot of fireflies outside. She wanted me to play with her. I quietly left the room, after I was satisfied playing with her I went in again." Diana said in detail.
Bella really couldn't understand why her daughter could talk like this.
Bella slowly touched her daughter's face.
"Honey, you had a dream last night, didn't you?" Bella asked in a low voice.
Diana shook her head innocently.
"No. I wasn't dreaming," she answered
"Mom, since last night I feel not good for you. Because I didn't ask permission first. Are you mad at me?" Diana asked.
Bella did not understand the daughter's words. She doesn't know why Diana has been acting so weird lately. Not like usual.
"Diana, what are you talking about, Honey?"
"Mom, my friend said she wants to live here," Diana said.
"Which friend of yours? You've only been at home since yesterday, how did you meet your friend? What else made her talk about wanting to live here? said Bella who was still with a surprised expression.
"Mom, Clara came straight here, so we don't need a phone!" answered Diana.
The answer made Bella completely shocked.
'Clara again?' Bella thought, 'oh my God! What happened? Is it me crazy, or what?' Bella's mind was confused.
"Diana, you're dreaming, Honey. And I hope you don't tell Aunt Alice, okay!" Bella said.
"Why is that, Mom?" The girl looked confused.
And from the opposite corner appeared Alice who came out of the room.
Her face was still tousled with her hair tousled.
"Mom, Clara is nice. She came here because she was on business. Why did you forbid me? You didn't even allow me to say her name in front of Aunt Alice, why?" Diana protested.
Alice heard the debate, and she immediately approached the two.
"What is it?" Alice asked.
"Ah... it's nothing!" Bella said with a relaxed smile as if nothing had happened.
"Aunt Alice, Mommy forbid me to mention my friend's name!" said Diana with pouting lips.
"What's the matter with your friend's name?" Alice asked Diana.
"I don't know... Mom said Aunt didn't like it when I said Cla's name—" Bella immediately covered her daughter's mouth with her palm.
But it was futile because Alice already knew what Diana meant.
"Are her name 'Clara?'" Alice asked.
Bella slowly gave in, and she opened the princess's mouth.
"Alice, it's just a coincidence. And Diana does have a friend named 'Clara' and that's not the name of the little girl you're referring to. Their names are just the same." Bella said reassuring Alice.
"Okay, I understand Bella. You're scolding Diana just for my sake. And trust me I'm fine. I'll try to ignore everything about my dreams and hallucinations. Including events that are just coincidences, and which I suddenly got involved in. -link with my mind." Alice concluded.
Bella smiled at that. But in her heart not calm.
Alice tried to convince herself, that what she was feeling, and what she was witnessing was just a hallucination.
But Bella was even more doubtful. She started to be in a dilemma.
She couldn't tell the difference between reality, or just coincidence.
What Diana said sounded real.
Diana always said what she saw. The girl never once lied.
Since yesterday the girl had always said the same name. Even had time to paint his face.
"Bella, are you okay?" Alice asked interrupting her thoughts.
"Ahh! That's fine!" Bella replied slightly flinched.
"Well, I'm going to take a shower first," said Alice.
"Yes, please! Felix is coming soon!" said Bella.
"Felix? How did you know he was coming?" Alice asked.
"Of course, I know. I told him to!" replied Bella.
"What!?"
"Yeah! I thought you needed entertainment! So I asked Felix to take you for a walk!" replied Bella.
Alice sighed for a moment, chuckling in surprise. It was obvious that Bella was very worried about her condition, to the point that she had to contact Felix to take her for a walk.
"Come on! I'm going to the bathroom!" said Alice.
Bella nodded her head.
"Okay!" Bella answered.
*****
Moments later, someone knocked on the door.
And it turned out that Carlos, Alice, who opened it with an enthusiastic face, turned into a dispirited one.
"What are you doing here?" snorted Alice.
"Of course, I wanted to see you, Alice," Carlos replied with a smile. "Eh, by the way, you look really pretty today," said Carlos.
Alice snorted in annoyance at that. Instead of feeling happy about the compliment, it made Alice feel sick.
"Carlos, today I have an appointment with Felix, so you should just go home!" snorted Alice.
"Ah... him again!" Carlos looked disappointed and annoyed.
"What's so good about that guy? What's he got?" quipped Carlos.
"Alice. Think about your future! Find a man who is at least a lot better than me. He's just a Cafe Service, right? Then how does he make you happy? Can he afford to buy you expensive things?"
Carlos shook his head in surprise. His face seemed to rail against Alice's choice.
"Alice, I'm so much better than that guy. And I can buy you a house and a car and a lot of fancy stuff!" Carlos said. "Let's think carefully about choosing your life partner!" Carlos insisted.
Alice deliberately gave Carlos time, to revile Felix at will. Until Carlos was satisfied, then it was her turn to turn her back on her ex-husband.
"Listen, Carlos! Felix may not be a rich man, but he has a sincere heart! Unlike you, who is a Masher and likes to cheat!" Alice insisted.
Carlos narrowed his eyes, hearing Alice's words. Then the woman continued her sentence.
"Felix is just a Cafe Serviceman, and so am I, right? Isn't that much more compatible? Waiter and Waiter! We're on the same level, so we can understand each other!" Alice smiled faintly at Carlos, "And one more thing, I don't need luxury either! I just need simplicity but mutual understanding!"
