Being a One Day Bride
Let go

"Alan still can't be reached, Bell?" Prass asked when he saw his daughter just pacing around the door of the house they had occupied with a worried look.

Belly just shook her head slowly, "not yet Pa,"

Prass let out a long sigh, the complexity his daughter faced this time making her feel even more guilty. If only he had not married Belly to the King, maybe the misfortune that now befell Belly would not have happened.

But all this has already happened, at a time like this he does not want to discuss it all. The thing to do was to calm her daughter down. He did not want to be a failed father for the second time.

"Bell,"

"Yes Pa" Belly replied without looking at Prass because he was busy calling Alan's phone number.

"You're worried about her?"

"Pa, obviously Belly is worried. It's late at night, Alan hasn't come home yet. She's never been like this, has nothing happened to her?"

Belly's eyes are now starting to glaze over, according to him just by waiting for Alan will not produce results. He must immediately find and locate Alan's whereabouts.

Seeing her daughter step foot, Prass immediately stopped her. "Where are you going, Bell?"

"Pa, Belly can't keep quiet like this, can she?"

"You want to find Alan?"

"Yes, Pa. Belly was worried that something might happen to her" Belly said in a soft voice.

"Bell, according to Papa you don't have to look for it. Maybe Alan needs time to be alone and doesn't want to be disturbed. Let Alan calm himself first," Prass tried to persuade as well as advise his daughter.

"But, Pa ..."

"Here you go, didn't you say Alan was never like this? Just wait for Alan here until he comes home, Papa will accompany," said Prass trying to calm his daughter back.

Belly was silent, she did not respond to Prass' words. This time he thought his father's words had a point. Let him be accompanied tonight by Prass, though he is also worried about his Papa's condition.

After waiting for two hours, Alan did not go home. That made Belly ask her Papa to enter the house first. Prass agrees to Belly's request, and enters to rest in his room.

Belly now lives outside with the cold night wind sweeping across her skin. His mind was in a frenzy, he was so worried about an Alan. Belly also felt increasingly guilty, so that she could not control her tears that were about to come out.

TINNN!! TINN!!

The sound of a car horn was heard from the outside of the gate. Belly can see if it's Alan's car, it makes him a little relieved to breathe.

"Alan, you're finally home" Belly immediately ran to the car that had now stopped in front of the house.

But how surprised he was, when he found a different man who came out of the car.

"Darwin???" belly said with her eyes wide.

"Where's Alan?" continued again.

Darwin only let out a long sigh when faced with Belly. He immediately turned around the car to the rear passenger seat. In his absence the door and showed the figure of Alan there who looked messy. He also took the body of his friend into the house.

"Darwin what happened?" Belly was curious, because he saw Alan was a little unconscious with a body that staggered also smell the smell of a drink that stung from his body.

Not getting any response from Darwin, Belly can only sigh. He followed them from behind, for even helping could not be done.

Arriving at Alan's room, Darwin slammed his friend's body into the white mattress. His breath was breathless because it was made to bother by Alan since at the Club they visited earlier.

"You're so heavy, can you not trouble me??" Darwin nagged Alan with such an annoyed feeling.

"Because of you, I can't have fun! Is this what you call a friend? You are so annoying" Darwin continued.

Belly can clearly hear what Darwin said, once Darwin finished swearing and sitting his body on the sofa in Alan's room, Belly ventured to enter.

"Darwin, I know you don't like me very much. But can you explain what really happened to Alan?" Belly asked cautiously, knowing that Alan's friend didn't like him very much.

Belly sat her body on the bed right next to Alan lying down, she looked at every inch of the body that was so chaotic.

Belly took off the shoes and socks that Alan was wearing. Then Belly came out carrying Alan's shoes and came back again with a basin filled with warm water and a small towel in his hand.

Darwin who witnessed it just smiled cynically, he did not want to respond to any questions from Belly woman who had made his friend messed up.

"Darwin, do you still not want to talk to me?" this time Belly ventured to get closer to Darwin who had not responded to him.

"It seems that this time it was not only Alan who was angry with me, but also his best friend" Belly continued.

Belly leaves Darwin, who is silent and does not speak a word. He continued his action to clean Alan's body with warm water.

Belly tried to remove the tie that was still wrapped around the collar of Alan's white shirt, then he tried to stick a warm cloth on Alan's forehead that felt hot.

Not only did Lap land on Alan's forehead, Belly's hand was now firmly checked by Alan.

"Never come near me, if you just want to leave, stay away .." said Alan with a soft and sharp eye.

"Al, I ..." Belly was surprised, he was confused to say what else because Alan's hand grip made him nervous and go awry.

"Go away, "pint Darwin on Belly. Then Darwin took over the Lap held by Belly.

"Darwin, let me go" Belly tried to regain the Lap that Darwin had now held.

"You didn't hear what Alan just said?" darwin said a little whispered, with fleeting eyes glancing towards Alan who was now closed again.

"Darwin, Alan is unconscious. I know how she ..."

"Oh, do you know how he is? But why did you ask me like you didn't know what happened to him? Huh uh??"

Darwin began to grow furious with high intonation, he felt Alan had chosen a woman wrong. It felt like he wanted to teach Belly a lesson, but he had to remember that Alan was so in love with her that he didn't want her to get hurt in the least.

"All right," there's no other choice for Belly than to leave them alone. He decides to leave Alan's room and go to his room.

Arriving in his room, he remembered Alan's words. I don't know why his heart was disturbed by Alan's attitude this time to him.

Darwin's right, I never knew a damn thing about Alan. But I acted like I knew everything, too much mystery to him. All I know is the magnitude of his love for me.

Is Alan drunk because of me?? Oh, dearGod. What are you doing, Alan?

Tonight, Belly could not sleep, although she tried to close her eyes repeatedly.

...****************...

Belly stared at the three men at the dinner table with a serious chat that she could not hear.

Prass, Darwin and Alan. The three of them seemed to be waiting for someone.

Until finally Belly came and joined, he took a position sitting next to his Papa right opposite Alan.

Belly sighed, she emitted a small smile and greeted the few serious-faced men there.

"Good morning everyone," said Belly with eyes staring at Alan.

No one answered the greeting, just a nod from the three men there and a cynical smile that Belly saw from Darwin's face.

"Bell, sit. Looks like you didn't sleep well," Prass who noticed Belly's eyes were so puffy immediately gave the daughter a glass of warm milk.

"Thanks Pa," said Belly received attention from her Papa. Yet his eyes still occasionally stole a glance towards Alan who this morning looked extremely pale with a cold aura.

"Al, what did you want to talk about?" ask Prass to Alan.

Alan was silent for a moment, glanced at Belly a few seconds later he looked back at Prass and expressed the delayed conversation before Belly came.

"Look Om, before I want to apologize if as long as you are with me a lot of shortcomings or mistakes I made. I hope Om wants to tell her,"

hearing Alan.m's words somehow Belly felt her heart was not okay.

"Alan, why do you talk like that? Precisely Om and Belly who feel bad has a lot of trouble you," said Prass felt bad for Alan's words. Alan has helped him a lot, he should be the one who apologizes and thanks to him. Not the other way around.

"Om, I'm grateful that Om Prass's treatment and care here is going well. Now Om is healthy as Princess Om hopes and of course I also hope the same. So ..."

"Alan has Om Prass and Belly air tickets ready for Surabaya tonight, so pack up and get ready because your flight will be at seven o'clock tonight." Darwin, who felt that his friend was having trouble expressing his heart, cut off Alan's words and helped him explain to Prass.

Neither Prass nor Belly can say anything, they realize that just hitchhiking to Alan who clearly has no connection whatsoever to their family.

"Alan, you're acting all you want again" Belly said in her heart.

"For Home and company Om there is back to normal, all the needs there are also I have prepared," said Alan with a heavy heart.

"Al, thank you again for all your kindness. I'm sorry if Om can't get back at him what you want," Prass was so grateful to Alan, what he loved was why Belly couldn't accept a man as good as Alan who was so sincere to him.

"I'm just asking that Om stay healthy and keep Belly back, I still have a lot of work to do if you'll excuse me" Alan didn't want to linger, he immediately wanted to leave because he could not bear to see the melancholy of Belly's face which had been silent since then said nothing.

Alan also moved from his seat, as did Darwin who followed him from behind.

Seeing that Alan was heading out of the house, Belly also moved from his chair and chased Alan out.

"Alan, wait!!"

Belly walked closer to Alan who had now stopped his steps.

"I want to talk" Belly held Alan's hand and tried to lead him to speak with four eyes.

Alan let out a long sigh, with great difficulty he tried to avoid Belly, but instead Belly approached him. Alan does not want his efforts to get away from Belly hindered again because of his feelings, he was determined to release him so that Belly happy out of his bondage all this time. He slowly releases Belly's hand on his wrist.

"Sorry Bell, I have to go" Alan said in a low tone.

"Al, can't you just give me a minute to talk?" ask Belly with teary eyes. For some reason, Alan's treatment since last night made his feelings unsettled. Even this morning, Alan's words hurt her so much.

"I think my conversation at the dinner table was clear, sorry I had to go," Alan left Belly there by taking a wide step towards the car in which Darwin already had.

"Fuck, Alan!!!"

Belly's scream was ignored by Alan, he just passed by leaving her.

"Alan, wait!!"

"Alan, you always do what you want" Belly rubbed her face which was now filled with tears.

"Bell, we'd better pack up now," Prass approached his sad-looking daughter.

"Look, even Papa complies with his wishes? Does he always act like that? It's annoying," Belly grumbled, he was very upset by the treatment of Alan who had always acted without compromising first with him.

"You disappointed?" prass asked looking at his daughter with a smile.

"Pa, obviously Belly was disappointed with his attitude! He never wanted to compromise with Belly first, he always did what he wanted, he really didn't change,"

"That's not what Papa meant, are you disappointed to be away from Alan?" prass asked again to set the point straight.

"Mr, Belly ..."

"Here you go, Papa already knows there's no need to explain better we pack."

Seeing his daughter's eyes have returned to tears, Prass did not want to continue anymore. He immediately shifted the topic so that Belly did not constantly grieve.

To be continue ...
