Bella's Script
Shelter House

The early morning for the Fauzi family was a blessing. Being able to get through the critical period of Ozi without anything bad news made them a little able to breathe a sigh of relief.

“Where are you, have you started to realize?” Ibra arrived at the hospital. Last night he worried about his brother who had no news.

“Not yet. Said the doctor will visit around 9an.” Bella looks at the watch on her new hand at 6 a.m. It still feels like a long time.

“Lo want to go to campus?” Bella sees Ibra already carrying her things in the backpack. Full on.

“Gue class today. So can nemenin brother same mamah here. You both do not sleep?” Ibra saw a black eye on Bella and Devan's face.

“No sleepiness.” I'm Bella.

He looked at the glass of Ozi's nursery which was still not open. I don't know what time he'll be able to see his brother again.

“Where are you?” Ibra went looking for Saras.

“Still in the mosque. Said he wanted to njai first.”

“Semalem is like a nightmare. His face was very tight awake. He also directly curled me.” Bella remembered what happened this morning.

Saras' face was completely frightened. She cried in Bella's arms.

“Dear, mamah many minds. Later we chat lightly just let him not be sad continue.” Devan felt the same worry.

“If you have visited a doctor, maybe we can be calmer. Hopefully there is good news this morning.” Bella said expectantly.

“Aamiin..” They say uniform.

“Gue to buy breakfast. You two want me to buy what food?” bargain Ibra. He was sure that his two brothers did not even think about eating.

“What's the origin don't fried rice.” Cetus Bella light.

Devan smiled faintly at Bella's spark.

“Emang why fried rice?” Ibra was curious.

“Abang-abangnya just returned. He sold last night. So mending lo buy other food.” Devan turned his sister-in-law's body facing the exit.

“Yes, I'll buy another one. If you have additional calls just.” Just trust that kid with Devan's original speech.

“Iyaaa..” Angkuk both together.

After Ibra left, Devan and Bella stayed with each other. They both looked at the glass of Ozi's room which was still covered in curtains. The concerns of both remain the same.

The sound of approaching footsteps made Bella and Devan turn their heads. It was Saras who had just returned from the hospital mosque. His face looked fresher even though it was still puffy.

“Udah finished mah?” Bella takes over the face in Saras's hands.

“Udah. I met with another patient's family. There is also her husband today going to surgery. Kasian mamah squirms, very anxious.” Saras just told me

They sat back in the waiting chair.

“Iya adek. Mama doesn't feel alone anymore. We do not doang tested in this way.” Saras was stunned by his own words.

“Say people, if we are sick at home, we will feel the most pain ourselves. But when we get to the hospital, it turns out, there will be something that makes us feel grateful. One of them knows each other with the families of other patients and can encourage each other.” Bella grabbed Saras' hand which she then held tightly.

“Iya adek. Mom sometimes forgets the same thing. Forgetting that the test is not just us. Astagfirullah.. Forgive me O Allah..” Lirih Saras while raising his head to look at the ceiling of the waiting room.

Bella is no longer stuck. He preferred to hug Saras' body from the side and rest his head on Saras's shoulder. He looked at the face of the mother who looked tired and at the kiss of Saras' cheek gently.

In return, Saras rubbed the child's head with affection.

“Mah, sorry, someone wants Devan ask.” Devan's voice distracted the two people.

“Iya, how is nak?” Saras' attention soon turned to his son-in-law.

“Em, Gini, Devan try to find info about treatment here. Apparently, around this hospital there is a halfway house for patients and families of patients who are waiting like us.”

“Because our house is quite far from here, to rest when changing guard, you want not to rest there? The distance is only about 10 minutes by foot.” Tawar Devan carefully.

“Emmm can,,, Mamah think that's a good idea. Mamah so do not have to go back and forth to the house if there is a place to rest.”

“Iya mah's. If you agree, Devan will register.”

“Iya son, thank you..” Saras rubbed Devan's shoulder with affection.

He really did not think that he could find a way out of this problem. After all, it was not because he left Ozi for a long time.

With this close distance, at least he can leave the goods there and take it immediately when needed.

“You can ask for one more please?”

“Bby, what mah?” Devan is always smart.

Bella smiled at the response of her husband. He really respects Saras.

“Mamah has not brought any items here. Please accompany Bella to bring some of your personal belongings here. Dress and toiletries. Can?”

“Can mah.” Devan immediately responded.

“Please yes dear.” He asks Bella for help.

“Iya mah's. Adek go home first, later already nyampe our home video call to know what items you want in bawain.”

“Thank you dear.” Lirih Saras with a look of happiness.

He is grateful to have children and daughters-in-law who always look after and accompany him.
