Arriving at the house that was used as a base camp as well as a studio as a place for Rangga band to train, they were welcomed by Niko who had just returned from the minimarket.
This house was bought by Bella as an investment and used well to practice Rangga band. It has been about 3 years they made this house a studio with a lot of band tools that fill every corner.
“Please Bell She opens the door for Amara and Bella.
“Thanks Nik!” timpal Bella turned to Amara who walked first into the studio.
“Still not better?” continued Bella while elbowing Niko's arm.
Niko smiled in a knot, staring at Amara's back that had disappeared behind the door.
“Gue is fine. But, better it should be from 2 parties right?” timpal Niko with a crybaby.
“Yang patient yaa, he is a bit hard but later also improved kok.” Bella tries to comfort Niko with the food she bought on the street.
2 Months ago, Niko and Amara's relationship ended. The relationship that was established about 4 years had to break up because according to Amara there was no clarity. Whether the clarity in what matters, they certainly have their own principles in their relationship.
It's just that, until now Amara is still always avoiding, in contrast to Niko who looks relaxed even though their separation had made Niko slumped.
“Thanks Bell.” said Niko as she rubbed Bella's head. The habit that Niko always does and often makes her boyfriend upset.
“Hubility lo!” Bella immediately lowered Niko's hand from above her head. Danger if Rangga see it.
The man chuckled and walked in front, carrying Bella's food.
“Ngumpuuulll, entrails duluu..” exclaims Niko from door direction. Troubles were heard when they checked the food Bella bought.
When Bella enters, Rangga looks fresh out of the bathroom and is wearing a t-shirt.
“There are girls lo anjrit!!” exclaiming Ikhsan while throwing Rangga with a drum stick that he held. Rangga quickly caught him.
“Hay,” greet Bella on Rangga.
Rangga just smiled and kissed Bella's cheek.
“Pameeerrr teroosssss!!!” Niko returned to her voice, making Bella blush in embarrassment.
“How are you doing?”
Bella noticed Rangga's face that looked haggard. On the rubbing of Rangga's face gently. For a moment he looked at a face he hadn't seen for a few days.
Not only that, the message he has collected to this day is not read by Rangga.
But seeing Rangga who turned out to be okay, enough to make him feel calm.
“Hem, just a little not feeling well aja.” Rangga. She sits on the couch that Bella follows.
“Kok did not ngabarin who, I can come here to take care of you.” He took a piece of fried chicken flour, complete with rice, parchment and mineral water.
“Don't drink soda..” he continued. In his eyes, Rangga was full of guilt.
“Patten lo nikahin Ga, tar Bella keburu unconscious, apes lo!” ledek Ikhsan who laughed at the other band members.
“Uhuk!!” Amara coughed at hearing Ikhsan's speech.
“Sorry forgot, there is a ship running aground.” Ikhsan continues laughing.
“Resek lo!” Niko mentoyor the head of her best friend who sometimes origin the sound.
Hearing Ikhsan's joke, Amara moved from her place. “Gue to toilet for a while.” His shirt was accidentally spilled with sauce.
Niko gives her a piece of tissue, but Amara ignores it. Two people who have loved each other apparently still can not make peace with each other.
“Bentar, the toilet is my former.” Rangga immediately moved from his place and followed Amara.
“Who did Rangga do in the bathroom? Soapy of the times? Wkwkwkwk..”.
“Cepet ajakin married Bell, let the Rangga not long in the bathroom.” Ikhsan returned to chattering.
“Resek by anjir!” Niko mentoyor Ikhsan's head which often comes from talking.
Bella just smiled. Yes, been together for 8 years should have been thinking about marriage, right?
For a moment Bella was silent, staring at Amara and Rangga who went to the toilet. While waiting, he separated the chicken from its skin. I don't know why it feels so long.
*****
After the band broke up, Bella and Rangga stayed in the studio. Amara had gone home first because she was constantly on her new manager's phone.
“No restless nih people.” This is the first complaint Bella heard before Amara came home.
It seems that the manager who now regulates Bella is more than her previous manager. Of course this is a bit unsuitable for Amara who loves freedom very much.
Back to Rangga who is now sitting on the sofa while playing his guitar. The string quotes produced a sound that always warmed Bella's heart.
While making coffee. Bella unceasingly looked at Rangga with a smile. Just as Rangga is not tired of trying for his band, so Bella will not stop trying for a lot of better things in the future.
“Coffee Ga.” Bella put a cup of coffee in front of Rangga, complete with snacks.
Rangga just looked and smiled. Her face was brighter than when Bella arrived.
Bella sat beside Rangga while looking at her handsome face. At once he saw Rangga's cell phone in front of them. Curiosity comes because until now Rangga did not read the message.
“I wa you, what message do I get in?” search Bella while reaching for Rangga's phone.
“Bell!” rangga quickly patted Bella's hand.
“I have privacy here.” He stared at Bella coldly.
“Oh, sorry... I'm just curious, afraid the message I did not get into your phone.” Kill Bella, try to calm down.
Rangga's honest touch made a shock and his chest felt slashed. Like a hard blow hit him. It is not usually like this.
Hearing Bella's words, Rangga simply fell silent. He sipped a warm coffee made by Bella that always tastes delicious. I don't know why this time it feels so bad.
“I'm afraid you haven't heard in a few days. Read my message and know you are sick. I'm worried Ga.” Bella tucked her hand in Rangga's sturdy arm and leaned her head on Rangga's shoulder.
The man fell silent, putting his guitar down.
“I'm busy Bell. There's been some practice with the kids these days. I'm the same kids often stay up late, so until not feeling well gini.” timpal Rangga cold. Like Bella's anxiety isn't a problem for her.
“Yes although not as busy as you, I also do not bother very.” Imbuh Rangga, gulp back his warm coffee.
“I know.” Bella lifted her head. This sounded like the innuendo that Rangga had uttered for her.
“But at the very least, save your time 5 minutes to reply to my message. Can you?” in his face Rangga with clingy.
8 Years together, make Bella so know this man. A lot has changed from Rangga. Rangga is indeed an indifferent person, but before not to silence Bella's message for days like today.
“Maybe make you my question stale and trivial. Whether you have eaten or not. Again, same who. How was the story today.” Bella tries to regulate the rhythm of the breath that some as she pulls deeper.
“But for me it's important. The smallest news from you is important to me.” In his hand Rangga tightly, making the man now look at his hand which is held by Bella.
“And it turns out you're sick. I feel guilty knowing that. Try me to know early, I can take you to the doctor or I can come here to check your condition.” Bella Strictly. He kissed Rangga's hand in earnest.
Seeing what Bella did, Rangga was stunned. He stared at the worried brown bead that this time looked at him.
“You don't have to exaggerate Bell,” that cliche sentence that he then said.
“My condition is not so bad either. There are children coming here too. Anyway,”
“. You can take responsibility and take care of yourself.” Bella interrupted Rangga's sentence quickly.
“But can you also take responsibility for my feelings? Feelings of anxiety think you are not answering my message let alone pick up my phone? What's wrong with our relationship until you feel that your news is trivial for me.” in Rangga's eyes with nanar.
For a moment they were silent. Rangga was trying to understand how anxious Bella had been all along.
“Yes okay, I'm sorry. Yesterday the condition does not allow for a lot of news with you.” He cupped the left side of Bella's face with his wide hands.
"Because?" Bella is still curious.
"You need Bell's detailed answers? You don't trust me?" rangga's voice began to rise.
"Loh, that's not what I mean, Ga."
"Then? What else do you think is unclear? I have to report every second that's the same to you. Hay Bell, I'm here again. My condition is like this. I'm pap ya Bell. We are not children anymore, you are not so childish." protested Rangga.
"What is the fact that I'm your girlfriend and trying to make our relationship not enough for you?" firmly Rangga while staring at the site of Bella's chocolate bead.
Bella became stunned to hear Rangga's words. Slowly he shook his head. That's not what it means. But the conditions made him wrong.
In the rubbing of Bella's cheek slowly, making the annoyance Bella disappear immediately turned into a warm feeling. The feeling that Bella always feels when remembering she has Rangga. Maybe Rangga was right, this time it was excessive and childish.
Slowly Rangga approached her face to Bella, making the girl's eyes round in shock. Only a few seconds until then he felt Rangga's lips kiss him softly. Once, twice and the third time feels longer and leaves a small bite.
“Don't worry about me too much. I'm fine.” Lirih Rangga once kissed Bella's cheek.
There was no response from Bella. He just wanted to hug Rangga tightly, very tightly until then Rangga coughed.
“Uhuukkk! Bell...” whine Rangga who feel tight.
Bella's big baby is back. Behind his indifferent attitude, sometimes Rangga whines like a big baby.
“Hehehehe... After I missed.” Reply Bella.
He let go of his embrace. Staring at Rangga's face which is only a few inches from his face.
“I love you.” Said slowly.
“I can feel it.” Reply Rangga, which makes Bella blush.
Right now, Rangga's answer was more than enough for Bella. Making Rangga feel that he loved her was the greatest thing he could do.
“Oh yes, I have news.” Seeing Rangga he remembered something.
“Oh yes? What?” Rangga began to be interested in listening.
“Emmm...” Bella tries to think of the best sentence to convey this news to Rangga.
“There is a talent search for male pop singers. Do you want to follow that?” bargain Bella.
He knows very well Rangga's ability to process his voice also play musical instruments. There was no harm in offering this to her.
“NO! BIG NO!” rangga quickly refused.
“Hah? This is a good opportunity. This time try first yes Iaaang..” persuade Bella.
“No Bell, I can't.” Rangga immediately moved from his place. He chose to sit at Ikhsan's place as the drummer.
“Yang, good chance. Who knows this is your fortune. You will be in orbitin with the famous label.” Bella follows Rangga into place and still tries to persuade.
“NO! I don't want to!” he refused while hitting the drum.
Bella just fell silent in her place, looking at Rangga in disappointment.
“You know, I can't possibly miss my band members?” that reason was later conveyed by Rangga.
“Ya I know.” The band was everything to Rangga.
Bella approached and held Rangga's hand.
“I didn't ask you to leave the band.”
“This is just one alternative way to make people know your abilities. Later if you already know people with your achievements, you can also bring your friends.”
“Many singers who jump into talent search and return to their band. You can also like that.” Cerocos Bella tries to persuade.
“Bell, I can't.” Resolutely Rangga while releasing the grip of Bella's hand.
“Ikut talent search event is definitely a lot of time-consuming. While as a band, although not much, we have a gig schedule and obviously make money.”
“If I join the talent show, what about our contracts with several partners? The band won't go that means we don't have any income. I can't be as selfish as that left me temen-temen.” Terang Rangga's.
The explanation of Rangga can actually be accepted. If the Rangga band breaks the contract, it will certainly be a bad image for them. What is a band without a vocalist?
“You sure you don't want to talk to these kids first?” this is Bella's last persuasion. I hope Rangga will consider it.
“Ngak.” Rangga firmly refused.
“Okey.” Bella finally gave up. The principle of this one Rangga can not be challenged.
The band is his life and his friends are everything.
Looking at the clock on the wall, Bella only realized that it was almost eleven o'clock at night.
“Jeez, I have to go home” he said while taking his favorite backpack.
Rangga looked at the clock on the wall.
“Iyaa..” the answer is weak. If Cinderella at 12 pm will return to her original appearance, but if Bella, must return home at 10 o'clock.
“Tumben brother hasn't called?” that question was finally asked by Rangga.
Bella just sniffed her shoulder. “Maybe it's in front of the door while holding the truncheon.” Reply Bella with a small smile.
“I go home yes.. I've stuck food stock in the refrigerator, stay you angeltin. Do not eat too much instant noodles the same as drinking coffee also do not stay up.” Cerocos Bella while walking backwards.
Rangga just smiled at Bella's chattering.
“I anterin yaa..” bargain. Worried about letting Bella go home by herself.
“Not for which I can take a taxi. You're sick again, so mending rest let mepet heal, okay.” Bella brandished her thumb that looked filled.
“Hem...” says Rangga.
They walk to the door.
“Bell...” the sound was heard by Bella when they were already at the door. Rangga held Bella's hand. They both fell silent.
“I’ll try my best, in my own way. Promise!” Said Rangga suddenly. Bella was stunned, so meant Rangga's speech this time.
“I believe.” Firmly Bella while smiling and tightening her hands.
“Thanks.” Rangga hugged Bella tightly.
“Be careful on the road. Kabarin when he arrived. And sneak around, do not get to grangin brother.” The message was whispered by Rangga in Bella's ear.
“Hahahhaaha.. Okey...” Bella so chuckled at Rangga's last message.
Without Bella noticing, from a distance there was someone watching her from inside the car. He immediately started the car engine shortly after Rangga kissed Bella's forehead before returning home.
Why does he have to see this?
