"What happened to Bell?" Steva opened her hair behind her ears, as if ready to listen to belly's story.
"Stev, actually..........." Long-drawn belly tells her story. Starting from the beginning of his marriage with the king, the reason for marrying and leaving his lover alan until he was in the spot now.
The cry of belly was spilled, the tears that he had endured now flowed his smooth cheeks. However, his feelings are now a little relieved and calm because he has poured out all his heart on Steva the person who has helped him and also listened to him well.
Steva's facial expression turned lethargic when listening to all the complaints belly. He was very sorry for his friend's fate.
Steva extended her hand to hug the belly, until the belly cried bitterly in her arms.
"Bell, God will not give trials to humans beyond his ability.. You are the chosen bell, god believes you can face the test from him." Steva advises the bellies, gently patting belly's shoulders.
"Thank you stev, I don't know where to go I'm sorry to bother you. But I promise, once I get the money I'll rent a place to live immediately." Belly's eyes stared fixedly at Steva who had been holding her since.
"You can stay here whenever you want to bell, don't hesitate this house door is always open for you...."
"Uhhh, you're the best stev. But I want to trouble you one more thing." Pinta belly on steva.
"Don't one, fifty I'll do it!" Steva shows her five fingers in front of the belly with exaggerated expressiveness.
"Please keep my whereabouts to others a secret. Especially the king." The look on her face turned cloudy when she mentioned the name of the king.
"You don't worry, I'll definitely keep your privacy bell." Steva said as she continued to tightly hug belly's body.
"Thank you stev, I didn't know I had to repay your kindness in any other way. But, one day I will definitely repay everything..."
"Ok, I'm waiting for a good reply from you bell... Now that you take a break, I'm gonna go to the office for a second."
The conversation was over after Steva went to the office. Today he asked belly to rest first. Tomorrow the new belly is allowed to work with him.
Late at night, specks of sky water had fallen among the leaves around the king's house accompanied by a gust of cold night wind.
The king did not realize how many hours he had been asleep in his room due to exhaustion. Not tired from work, but tired because his heart continues to struggle with worry. Worrying about his choice, his feelings and erratic attitude towards belly even more made the king become chaotic.
The more thought his head felt like it wanted to break. The king opened his eyes for a moment and then closed them again. He opened his eyes and then left his sleeping position.
The king didn't know where he was going this time, which he obviously was going to go out of the house. While descending the steps from his room, the king stared for a moment at the door of the room that was occupied by the dagger. Not wanting to be silent for long in his gaze, the king immediately stepped his feet away.

"So everybody, introduce this belly zeana anggraika. He's my personal assistant at the moment, if you have any need please see him." Steva firmly introduced belly to some of her employees.
"Seek guidance and cooperation, all, thank you..." A friendly belly greeting some steva employees whom he had called to his room.
Some of the people he collected also greeted the friendly belly. But there are some people who stare dislike belly.
"Ok, it's over you can get back to work." Steva.
Steva gave a briefing to belly today, he also took belly around the corner of his office building that is not so big. Steva is still a beginner in running his business. He plans to open a new branch if the business succeeds in developing and advancing.
"I hope you'll help me manage this bell business.." Steva walked slowly with belly.
"Even though I am your boss now, I still want you to call me bell! You're so stiff..." Steva squinted her lips while rolling her eyes lazily.
"Stev, what did the other employees say?? This is not true!" Belly tried to resist steva's wishes.
"Bell, if they don't like it then you just tell me! I will punish anyone who bothers you!" Steven reassure belly.
"Stev, that's your name you're not professional at work. Don't interfere in personal affairs with work.." Belly's advice was listened to carefully by steva.
"It turns out that apart from being an assistant, you're also my advisor. Hmmmm I feel it would be better to behave with you bell." Obviously steva.
"You're this, so I'll still call you steva's mom if it's in the office. Outside the office I'll call you stephani or steva. How's deal?" Bid belly on steva.
"You seem to be commanding me, well, counselor mother... Deal!!" Steva shakes belly's hand sign of agreement between the two of them.
Steva's knot smile and belly adorned the beautiful faces of both. They both decided to return to Steva's room.
Days have passed, a few hours have been passed by the belly and steva. The busyness on the first day of work is belly felt, although he has a lot of work but belly is able to overcome everything.
"I appreciate your hard work today Bell, you look so tired.." Steva stared fixedly at the face of the belly that had been decorated with sweat.
"The first day was super!" Bellly's hand grabbed the tissue then wiped some parts of her face that had been covered in sweat.
"Good job! Let's go home, before that we stop at the cafe near here. I'm hungry.." Steva said as she cleaned her desk and grabbed her bag.
Belly followed steva's steps, they went to the cafe to find food.
Because the cafe is close to the steva office many visitors today, they undo the intention to go there. Until belly decided to take steva back to the apartment.
"Ck, why go home bell. If we wait a minute, it'll be....."
"We'll just go home! I'll cook you some food. The food menu is expensive! Our lives will be wasteful." Saying belly cuts steva's word.
"If you only eat a few times in the cafe it will not be wasteful bell! I can still treat you." Steva was starting to get upset.
"Stev, I can make a much better meal than that cafe."
"Bell, you work all day and still want to cook? Aren't you tired?" Tanya steva wonder at belly.
"If I'm tired, then I'll rest." Bellly answered her smile.
"Huf! All right, but if your cooking doesn't taste good today then you can't cook anymore.." Steva made a pact between them.
"OK! But if my cooking is good how's stev?" Belly turned around to give the deal.
"Yes, it's up to you!" Steva said lazily while turning the steering wheel.
Steva's car drove to the apartment, he did not want to talk much if arguing with belly then the business will be long.
TO be continue......
