“Dek, please eat first.” Call saras from behind the door.
“Iya mah, later adek nyulai.” Bella Sahut.
He just finished bathing after it was quite sweaty because of gardening late in the afternoon with Saras. He unrolled the towel wrapped in his wet hair and scrambled it to dry it.
On the comb gently, the hair that has now returned long. He turned around, looking at the glass, the length of his hair was already past his shoulders. It feels fast too.
After combing it and feeling tidy, he immediately exited the room.
At the dinner table there was only Ozi who was enjoying his dinner, while Saras was still arranging food in small containers. Bella is so dizzy, because there is less taste.
“Sini sit.” Take Ozi. He pulled the chair next to her for where Bella was sitting.
“The river has come home. There's business he said.” Ozi without asking. She seemed to know the reason Bella kept looking towards her room and the living room on the second floor.
“Dih, who's the next Devan.” Bella squeaks, because the sister is always too sensitive.
Ozi just smiled as he looked at his sister's face.
“Why?!” Bella elbowed the older sister who was smiling indistinctly.
“Gak nothing.” Legally. He feeds again a spoonful of food and smiles again while glancing at Bella.
“Lo why the hell? Something weird with me?” Bella was misbehaving with her sister's gaze. A few times just smile while glancing at him as if there is something to convey but in the end.
“Lo andan?” Ask Ozi while poking Bella's cheeks that look fresh and fluffy.
“What's dress? It's just a moisturizer, so that my skin is not dry and old chips like lo.” Cetus.
Bella starts to take the plate and fill it with less food.
“Ohhh. Mah adek started the treatment nih mah.. Start the diet as well.” exclaimed Ozi on the Mother who was busy arranging food in place.
“Abaaang, habits deh…. His turn is not sought after mulu. Return kayak broiler broiler to bertelor. Turn is there, even in mulu.” Saras took some of the food boxes to the dining table.
“Tau nih's. Resek emang this one creature.” Bella glared annoyed at the older sister who started to fill her up.
“Hahahaha..” Ozi so laugh at Bella's annoyed behavior that he thinks is funny.
“Oh yes, earlier Devan had a serious chat with brother mah.” Said Ozi who deliberately glanced at Bella who was busy enjoying her dinner.
“Chat what bang?” Saras was curious. He sat in front of the son.
“There deh... Brother tell you not yes..” Ozi tried to lure Bella, glanced at her and the girl was still fun to enjoy the crackers in her hands, as if not disturbed.
“Say she has happened something is mah.” He said, can't wait for Bella's response.
Bella quickly looked. “What's Devan?” Yep! Ozi's fishing was successful.
“By the way what is he about in Bogor?!” Bella's eyes were instantly rounded with her face flushed red. His mouth was full of food.
“Bogor? What happened in Bogor?” Ozi asked back and looked at Bella in full view.
“This is what the hell? Kok mamah so confused yes.” Saras massaging his throbbing head.
“Abang also curious mah.” All eyes are on Bella.
Kontan Bella stopped the chewing. He swallowed the leftovers in his mouth.
“Ngak. Nothing in Bogor.” Strictly speaking while biting tempe with annoyance. Shit, Ozi has managed to lure him. I don't know what Devan was talking to Ozi about.
“Ya already if you do not want to tell a story. But this time please mamah yaa.” Saras trying to mediate. He knew his daughter was cornered.
“What mah?” He prefers to talk to Saras instead of looking at the older brother who is still looking at him with a line of smiles.
“Let's eat, this anterin to nak Devan. Kasian, I think he's not feeling well. Just now salim sama mamah, his hands are very hot. Fever like.” Saras, full of worry.
“Why not use service between mah?” Bella whines lazily.
“Emmh,, Adek tired well.. Yes, my friend is anterine. Lagian Mamah is worried about Devan. Want to see the condition directly.”
“Eiihh jangaann. Mom at home.” Bella let Saras go.
“Iya dong's. And next to the adek is a mama's son who paaaaling restless. Is it mah?” Bella squeaks at her sister. Ozi can continue to smile on her own in response to whatever Bella does and says. Is that happy now, brother?
What the hell was Devan saying?

The speed of the car leads Bella to the house where Devan lives. In the passenger seat there is already one bushel of food that Saras entrusted to be given to Devan.
“Let's not be taro so yes deck let alone directly entered into the refrigerator. But place it first in each bowl so Devan easy if you want to ngangetinnya.” Order Saras before Bella leaves.
Hah, Saras is indeed a good mother. Everyone he's ever known is definitely noticed including Devan.
But that's not the memory that's now in Bella's mind. What disturbed his mind at this moment was Ozi's words earlier.
“Devan wants to talk seriously with mama, after he talked with brother.” Ozi's words continued to resonate in Bella's ears, especially when Ozi glanced at her with a small smile.
“Aarrgghhh... What do you really want in Devan?” Bella asked herself.
“He couldn't have told me I was with him..” Bella's voice swallowed and immediately she lowered the car's sun visor to look at her own lips.
“Not because of this, right?” He asked curiously, holding his lips.
“Aaahhhhh,, Devaaaaann!!! Just be careful if you report to your brother about the incident. I'm gundulin lo Van!” Bella gets angry herself in the car while banging the steering wheel and banging her head against the seat.
“ Anyway, until Devan's house, I have to make it clear. No more shame or awkward stories. That was unintentional. I'm just writing him down and he's a slippery ground base." Bella started to be an alibi.
"Yes, I have to be as clear as he is, speaking of whether he was the same brother. Yes must!” It was very determined that later he would ask very clearly and in detail.
Just a few more meters towards the turn towards Devan's house and then arrive. Bella stopped her car right in front of Devan's house. Before descending, he smeared his already half-dry hair. He also tidied up the pajamas he wore then took a bushel of food that had been in the passenger seat since.
After getting out of the car, he stood for a while looking at the simple but acetetic building in front of him. He clenched his hand to make a determination. With quick and long steps, Bella headed straight for the door.
“Tok-tok..” Bella knocked him hard. He rang the bell, but it did not sound legitimate from inside the house.
“Vaan... Devaaann..”
“Assalamu ‘alaikum..” Bella knocked on the door and rang the bell.
But still there was no sound from inside.
“Van,,” Bella tried to turn the door handle and it was not in the lock.
“Gue login yes..” The impact that pushes the door handle slowly to open wider.
When the door opened wide, Bella saw no one in the house. Though this house is quite minimalist and almost without a partition. From his place he could even see Devan's room up there which was only sealed by wide and high glass.
“Van,.” Bella sneaks into the house. When he arrived at the living room, he put the bushel he brought on the table. Bella tries to contact Devan but the sound of her cell phone is heard from the direction of the room.
“Czech.” Suddenly the door handle sounded open.
Someone seemed to come out of the bathroom staggering, trying to hold on to the wall.
“DEVAN!! Lo why?” Excited Bella who immediately ran over to Devan.
Devan looked very weak, he leaned against the wall and held on with the rest of his strength. As Bella held onto her arm, she could feel Devan's hot body and her face turning red and sweaty.
“Bell..” His lips are sounding.
“Iya it's me. Lo sick?”
Bella tries to help Devan to stand up straight. But it seems Devan can no longer stand on his own feet. Within seconds he fell on Bella's shoulder.
“Jesus Van,... Lo kok even sick gini anyway.” Bella panicked herself. He tried to hold Devan's body higher and larger than his body. Devan's head leaning weakly on her shoulder made Bella able to feel the heat of Devan's roaring breath.
Seeing Devan like this, he finally forgot his intention to interrogate Devan. The focus now is only on Devan's condition.
"Vana... Please do not ginii... How am I supposed to?"
