In the car park now Bella and Devan are. They were sitting in the car with the window glass slightly open to let the night air in so that there was fresh air filling the car booth.
“Lo sure want to marry me Van?”
After a long silence, Bella finally conveys the questions she has been keeping since they were in Ozi's treatment room.
Honestly, his feelings were whipped between fear, anxiety, anger and haru.
Devan always prepares himself as the place where Bella depends and sometimes it makes Bella afraid that one day she is so dependent on Devan and it turns out this man left her. Couldn't he be so devastated when his leaning back left?
“Who exactly are you not sure, whether I am or are the same yourself?” Devan asked as he grabbed Bella's hand.
Bella just shook her head and tried to clear her mind to make a decision. Many things he considered considering that marriage is not a game and should not be due to coercion from others. It also concerns his life and his future.
“A wedding, not a small thing. You know yourself, when you were with me, you always given a lot of problems Van. Even the current problem is too big for me and I don't know how to solve it."
"Gue was afraid, halfway back. You get disappointed and stop holding on. Have you ever thought of that?” Bella dares herself to raise her face and look at Devan with her teary eyes.
Devan puts his hand on Bella.
“Enter.” He looked at Bella. He understands Bella's worries at the moment.
“But it's been a long time. Precisely, before I decided to return to Indonesia.” His small smiling baby.
“Lo should know, everyone has a hole in his life and it's not just lo, I'm the same.”
"The decision to marry is never based on the momentary thought of one person but must be the conviction of both."
“Lo always asks, why I used to go ninggalin lo right on our birthday. Not ngabarin lo anything as if we never know each other.” Devan locked his gaze on the pair of brown beads looking at him fixedly.
“Lo should know, it's because the hole in my life is too deep and big. I couldn't face it at that time.” Devan took a long sip of Bella's hand, recalling the terrifying events of the time.
Painful actually when he had to recall the old wounds he had experienced. But pretending to forget him only makes him tormented. Wouldn't it be better if he accepted freely if the incident had happened in his life in the past.
“That day, right on the day of the funeral nyokap, bokap was forcibly carried by 3 police.”
Devan's initial sentence, making Bella's eyes rounded in shock and her shoulders down weakly. Especially when Devan tried hard to hold back the tears he pressed on the corner of his eye. His breath sounds heavy.
“They carry a restraining warrant on charges, negligence while driving up to cause death.” Devan's voice sounded choked. He clasped his hand on Bella. He was terrified, as he recalled the nightmares of a dozen years ago. Like he never woke up from that dream.
“That's all, because of the fatal accident that happened a dozen years ago. Nyokap died after receiving intensive care for 2 days and bokap, still languishing in prison until now.” Devan's lips trembled as he said that sentence.
Ketir it feels to imagine the man who has always been a role model it was in a narrow and stuffy room for years.
“Because of that incident anyway, my brother, sister from Nyokap took my custody. He forced me to stay in Singapore to keep me away from bokap.”
“That's the reason I went from lo first to Bell. Because I haven't been able to do anything so I have to leave you alone. Sorry me.” Devan cupped his hands together on Bella's cheeks, then he bowed down with a cry that made him show his weakness.
Just this time he showed his weakest point as a human in front of Bella.
Bella, who had just heard this story, could only be stunned, staring in disbelief at the man who was stuck trying to hold back her tears. It takes great courage to tell and show his feelings for those bad memories.
“Aaarrgghhh.. Shit!"
"I am ready to meet you today. The day I had to calmly tell you this scary reality.” Devan raised his head to hold back his tears from continuing to drip. But it seems difficult.
“Heeyy.. It’s okey..” Omit Bella. With his right hand he grabbed Devan's face and rubbed it slowly.
“If you are not ready, you do not have to tell now.” Bella tries hard so that her voice does not waver because it holds back the crying.
Devan lowered his head and touched Bella's hand on his left cheek.
“Gue has promised myself that I should tell you about this before we are sure that we will get married. You can still change Bell's mind if you feel you can't be by my side after hearing this story. Even now, you are free to make a decision.” Lirih Devan who kisses Bella's palm with love. Her eyes closed for a moment, letting her tears trickle down as she sipped the fragrance of Bella's hand. He needs it for now.
“Yes.. I mean it.” He looked at the nanar Bella in front of him.
“No, Van. Go ahead, continue the story that you feel it can make some of the burden on your shoulder is gone. I'll stay here.” Timpal Bella. Trying to wipe Devan's tears that seemed to not be held back.
Devan smiled a little. He breathed for a while before continuing his story.
“He's a naive man. He felt that he was the most guilty of this incident. Until since the trial process began, he did not want to use the services of any lawyer, because he felt that he was not worthy to continue his life after he made the woman he loved go for good.”
“And my biggest regret is that I lost a mother at a very young time. That's what made him never want to meet me when I visited until some time ago. I'm alone Bell.” Devan's voice sounded raucous.
Bella said nothing. He simply carried Devan into his arms, hugged him tightly while gently rubbing his back.
“Lo is not alone anymore Van. There I am, who will always be there for lo.” Bella's whisper in Devan's ear, stammering.
Devan nodded really. After saying everything to Bella, it turned out that her heart was starting to be relieved. It was like thousands of burdens had escaped his shoulders.
After feeling calmer, Devan tried to get up from Bella's embrace. She looked at Bella warmly, though her eyes still looked red. On the swipe Bella's cheek gently which made the girl clasped Devan's hand tightly.
“After you know my dark side, are you willing to marry me?” Lirih Devan with a locked glare.
“Yes. I'm ready.” Bella replied without hesitation.
Devan could not hide his happiness. He smiled with tears in his eyes, without letting go of Bella's gaze. From his pocket he took the ring he had prepared.
“This time I brought it.” Devan lirih.
“So, give me the ring.” Bella extended her hand to Devan. Devan happily put the ring on Bella's left hand ring finger. After the ring is embedded, Devan looks at the ring with a small diamond eye in the middle, which looks beautiful when worn by Bella. He kissed Bella's hand gently, feeling deeply.
Bella smiled along with a circle of tears that returned to drip. Right now, he felt very confident about his decision. Not because Ozi asked her to get married but because she believed she loved the man in front of her now.
Devan slowly stuck his finger between Bella's fingers, both of them looking at the fingers now linked together. They both smile, before Devan lands a kiss on Bella's forehead. Sipping the fragrance of hair that refreshes his mind.
Satisfied to kiss Bella's forehead, now she puts her forehead on Bella's forehead. It was clear that both of them were breathing a sigh of relief.
They looked at each other the longer they got closer. Devan draws his face closer to Bella, making the two's noses intersect. Without hesitation, Devan was about to kiss Bella's natural red lips, however..
“Tring..” An incoming message on Bella's phone.
“Bell,..” That word read by both with the name Rangga as the sender.
Bella who was shocked, fell silent for a while after seeing the message. But then he chose to turn off the phone screen and flip his phone so that it is no longer visible. One hand rubbed Devan's cheek and in a few moments Bella kissed Devan's lips gently.
Devan was quite surprised by what Bella did to the difficulty of controlling the rumbling in her chest cavity. Like Bella, Devan felt his heart pounding very fast. But a second later, he chose to close his eyes and reply to Bella's kiss more deeply. Both of them chose to enjoy the smooth swish that entered his bloodstream to make their hearts beat very fast.
And the single star Alpha Centauri bears witness to their promise to always be there for each other.
