Bella's Script
the man

POV Devan

“Do you wanna say something?” I asked Bella.

He was shocked when he heard my question.

I noticed that he kept daydreaming. Occasionally looking out the window, staring at the red light and often glancing at me silently. I just let it go, maybe he's thinking a lot.

But just a moment ago, I saw him looking at me silently while holding a smile. I wonder what he's thinking. Come on, Bell, that's too adorable. I didn't focus on driving, so I asked.

And now he smiled, rubbing his neck. It looks like he's clumsy.

“Hey, you okay?” It's important to know his feelings. I glanced at him from the middle rearview mirror and he just nodded.

I heard him sigh deeply and then breathe slowly. Like a heavy load.

“What today is so heavy?” I asked again. My feelings are always not because if I am not sure of the situation.

“Quite weight.” His mouth while smiling.

It's hard enough he said, but I think today was tough for him. He must be very sad because he had to repeat the memory of a scary event first in order to animate his role perfectly.

Akh, I'm so worried about him. If Indra hadn't held me back, I'd say CUT! when I saw him crying. How dare that woman force Bella open her old wounds. As a fellow female, couldn't she empathize a little with Bella? Why did Bella's painful experience even make her the object of people's spectacle? He could even smile with satisfaction as he looked at me, horrible.

My reflexes gripped my steering wheel firmly in annoyance and Bella glanced back to watch my hand. What's wrong with my hand? Does it seem very angry?

Eeh.. He even smiled. As I was lyrically speaking, he was looking at me and did not turn his face away when our gazes met. Aaaarrgghh my heart beats so fast, he makes me nervous.

“EKHM!” I cleared my throat to neutralize my feelings.

“In front there is a seller soto lo's favorite. Want to eat first?” I bid to distract.

“Nope! I don't want to eat yet. Later in the hospital. Or have you laper?” He asked back.

Since when did he show his care for me? Usually he is firm on his choice, yes or no. And that's what makes it pretty easy for me to understand Bella's wishes. She's a no-bussy woman.

“We eat in hospital aja.” I can't bear to let him watch me eat alone.

“Van,” Call him suddenly.

“Hem,,” I directly install standby mode.

I held my body up, because with him saying my name and then deliberately at the break, he was asking me to focus some of my attention on him.

I really have to be prepared because Bella's conversation is always unexpected especially if I have called my name hanging like this.

“Emmm... Does the offer still apply?” Doubtful he asked. I could see her slightly flushed face with both hands clutching at each other. Is he nervous?

“Sorry, which offer mean?” My mind is not focused. What did I offer Bella?

“Which one? About cooperation with me or soto?” I narrowed down the choices.

Bella just shook her head and smiled, making me understand right away that it wasn't about those two things. Looking at his reddened face, I'm sure it's about something bigger.

“Gue do not know, right now or not talking about this, only I feel if I already know what I currently rasain.” He explained with complete confidence. Her face was no longer as beautiful as before.

“Wait, what is this about my request a month ago?” I remembered my request last month to Bella.

Let's just say Bella thinks I'm spooky but, I feel like Bella wants to talk about this.

“Hem,.” He was sure.

“Deg!”

Akhs! My heart stopped beating for a while. My guess was right, she wanted to talk about her decision to my invitation to get married.

Wait, why am I suddenly panicking like this? My blood is boiling and my heart is pounding.

“Wait for Realtar Bell, I need to pull over.” I'm trying to find a parking spot. Why along the way there seems to be no suitable place to stop.

“Gosh... While driving Van.” He covered his face with a small laugh. He must have laughed at my nervousness and misbehavior.

“No, this is important. And I just want to focus on lo.” I'm still looking for a place to pull over.

“Okey.” Follow him with a pinched smile. He turned his eyes out the window, looking for a comfortable parking space.

She must've seen me exaggerate or something, but I didn't care. I don't even have a problem seeing Bella look stupid. There was never anything I covered up about him.

“Okey, here aja!” I murmured as I saw a broad road. Not far from us there is a grocery store that is still open.

It's okay, the important thing is that it's safe and not too crowded. I immediately pulled over and parked my car comfortably.

“Okey, what?” I flipped my body to Bella and turned on the lamp above my head. I can't wait to hear what Bella's about to say.

“Gosh Van,..” Bella turned to me laughing.

Her eyes were narrowed because the glare looked so beautiful. Yes, she always looks very beautiful when laughing like this even though she covers her mouth with her right hand.

He must have been surprised by my over excited attitude.

“Bell, “ I call his name impatiently.

“What do I need to hear?” I looked at her, I was really focused on Bella.

“Okey.” He stopped his laughter even though I still saw his bright face. He breathed it out and breathed it out slowly. Then he turned to look at me.

“Gue, have thought of the offer lo.” Her speech. That short sentence made me cringe.

“Okey, So, what's the result of your thinking?” I waited patiently for him.

After seeing Bella acting with Rangga earlier, I feel Bella is so deep into her role. The way he looked at Rangga, sobbing before Rangga made me amazed and envious at the same time.

I was amazed by the effort he made to explore his role and I was envious of the sincere look Bella gave to Rangga. And now, honestly I'm scared. I was afraid that Bella would decide to turn away from me and go back to Rangga.

God, why is my heart beating so slow but so strong? Will it weaken and stop soon?

I rubbed my chest that felt dull imagining the thing that was on my mind.

“Van,” He called my name making my daydream instantly crumble.

He clenched his hands at each other, as if strengthening himself.

“Crete.” Akh shit. It was like there was a crack in my chest cavity that made my heart stop beating and hold my breath for a while.

Bella told me to stop waiting? Is he serious? Do I really have to stop?

“Lo serious?” I asked with an empty mind. My back-up shoulders are now suddenly weak.

“Ya, I'm serious.” I saw his eyes full of confidence. Bell, this is scary.

“Gue can already understand my own feelings Van. And the good thing, you stop waiting for me.” Again, he was so firm.

“Bell,..” My words are limp.

“Gue doesn't matter if you have to wait a little longer to make a decision. I will not force you. You don't have to rush. But don't tell me to stop waiting for Bell. I stopped walking towards the bright light in front of me. I can't.” I was weak.

I'm really not ready to hear all this. Imagining Bella away from my sight, was the biggest fear after I used to do the stupidity of leaving her.

“Van,.” I heard her voice calling me back.

I raised my head that was originally bowed listlessly.

“Defend Devan, how can Bella believe you will always be next to her while just because of this answer alone you give up?” My heart whispered as I looked at her face that was worried about me.

She worried?

“Gue can't open your heart to anyone anymore. I'm afraid I'm hurt again. My past memories are too good. I'm not ready to be broken again.” I'm Bella with teary eyes but still trying to smile.

Suddenly his outstretched hand grabbed my tightly clenched hand. I looked at my cold hands when I touched Bella. Is this the goodbye grip?

God, I'm not ready. My heart is like falling to the bottom of my stomach, my heart is breaking. Bella's words made me tremble, dizzy to spin and feel nauseous at the same time.

“That's how I've felt all this time.” He clenched his hand with a small smile.

“That's also what I was afraid of just before squirming you stood in front of me and gave me great confidence even though I know, you are very anxious.” Its effects.

Wait, what does that mean? Why is my heart beating again? My blood flow is warm.

“Stop waiting for me, because I've found my answer, Van.” He looked at me with confidence.

“Thank you for staying by my side, assuring me of many things. And most importantly, I'm grateful that you're next to me. Maybe this sounds cliche but I decided to answer Yes, at the request of lo.” Bella said with a sweet smile that then rose.

Oh, my God, I can't speak. Yes, I can't speak. I just gaped, staring at Bella in disbelief. But a few seconds later, I woke up. My soul, who had left a while ago, is now back.

“Really, you said yes, for me?” My words until stammering.

“Yes. I don't find any reason to refuse. I know the same thing you. And it seems like it's enough to convince myself." Bella looked at me while smiling made me lose my words.

I rubbed my face full of gratitude.

"Bell, I..." My breath is choked by god. I can only tighten my grip on the steering wheel.

But then I remembered something, I felt the pockets of my clothes and pants.

"Gue didn't bring the ring." Oh shit, why did I put it in the closet last night.

"Nothing Van. Most importantly, you know my answer."

"Yes, Lo really. It's more than enough." I could breathe a sigh of relief when I looked at Bella. I also could not hide my wide and unrestrained smile. I am so grateful, so grateful.

"But Van, there's one more thing I have to say to you." Bella looked at her hands clasping each other.

"Just tell me, I'm listening." I quickly chimed in. I can't wait for what she'll say, is it saying that she loves me?

Bella sighed deeply before starting her sentence, like she was gathering her courage.

"Van, I'm just an ordinary woman who may not always make you laugh happily. Sometimes, I can restless when you don't understand me because the news is important to me. My mood can also change when my hormonal condition is unstable. I don't like silent treatment and when I'm angry maybe I can say the same rude thing you."

"Many bad things in me that might make you tired because it does not match your expectations. But I will always try to do my best for someone who is already my priority. Lo an important part of my life.”

“So, if one day you meet with the fatigue of loving and understanding me, take your time. Momentary break. If you feel our condition can be improved, I will try to maintain our relationship. But if you feel you're on the edge of your fatigue, tell me. I'm not gonna force you to stick with me." Bella said straightforwardly.

I saw the seriousness of his every word.

I grabbed her body and then I hugged her tightly.

“Don't think too far about maybe I feel tired of lo. We're just starting Bell."

"When I got married, I was very sure of my choice because what I married was you. We enjoy the times when we get to know each other more deeply without feeling pressured by anything. For me, your happiness is much more important than anything.” I hugged him tightly and I felt him clutching my shirt tightly.

He nodded slowly in my arms.

I still can't believe that in the end Bella accepted my presence in her heart. This sense of urgency, I really can't describe. I can feel that Bella loves me and I will always keep this feeling for her.

Hugging Bella makes me feel like my heart is meeting her heart. I let go of my hug for a moment and then I looked at his reddened face.

“Gue don't know what else to say. But, you have to know that being next to you is the best thing in my life. Thanks a lot Bell,,,” Ungkapku while holding Bella's hand tightly.

“Lo is also the best thing I have.” His ideal. He cupped one side of my face and rubbed my cheek gently. I didn't realize I was just shedding tears.

For a moment we were just stunned. Staring closely at each other. It was the most beautiful first experience of my life, staring at Bella at this close distance and feeling this big.

“I love you,” I kissed her hand gently, making me feel a subtle sigh that creeps into my bloodstream and shakes my heart faster.

Bella looked at me with a taste of haru.

"I've Fallen for you, Van." Ideally, it makes me speechless.

For a moment, we just fell silent and threw smiles at each other. I held my hand that I didn't want to let go. We both leaned on the seat, a sigh of relief was heard from our mouths which then smiled happily.

I just found out that holding the hand of someone we love can be so soothing.

Try wanna? Try to hold the hand of the person you love.
