Bella's Script
Stories of the past

Bella's work began. Starting with a laptop that is ready to use and then plug the flash disk in Devan's laptop. He looked for the script folder, but then his attention was shifted to a folder on the Devan desktop.

“MyBella.” Name Folder in the middle.

Bella thought Devan must have deliberately set up that folder in front for easy when going to review the script with the results of the shoot. He also opened the folder.

"Bahh.. What is this folder? Did Devan deliberately nyiapin this folder so I don't have trouble finding my material?" Bella mutters to herself and smiles anxiously at the thought of Devan's well prepared material specifically for the film. He thought the contents of Devan's laptop would be messy, it turns out he arranged neatly.

He was a little surprised when he opened the folder which turned out to contain several other folders with the name of the year. There are 6 folders with different names there. Out of curiosity, Bella opens one of them, a folder named Senior high school.

He was quite surprised when it turned out to be photos of Bella when High School. Photos of him at the time of MOS law, photos during practice flying the flag, photos following the excul there are also photos of Bella when getting a gift of writing and photos of Bella while crying alone in her room. If you look around this is a photo on the day of the father's death. How could Devan have it?

So Bella thought, where did Devan get hundreds of photos of Bella during this High School?

Increasingly curious, Bella decided to open another folder. This folder contains photos of Bella in college. Photos with long hair, photos when showing off he can scholarship on campus, candid photos when he does group assignments and there is one photo tucked when he was delivered home by Rangga.

Bella's shoulder went limp looking at these photos. This is a personal photo that he never even posted on any social media.

In other folders there is even a photo of Bella during SD. The photo shows her teeth falling out while crying. The photo was taken by Ozi to scare the rats into Bella's room.

Wait, these photos are Ozi's private collection.

The ozi? What is this photo of my sister?

Bella turned to look at Ozi who was lying in her place. He looked at that face questioningly. Did Ozi send Devan his photos? Since when?

“Krieett.” The sound of the door creaking open resuscitated Bella from her daydream.

Devan had finished his bath and changed into a pair of sweatpants and a tee shirt. Her hair was still half dry after she had dried it with a towel.

“Where, smoothly dear?” Devan approached Bella who was staring in front of her laptop.

“Iya, smoothly.” He looked at Devan full of search.

Devan who approached Bella on the sofa looked curious about the meaning of Bella's gaze.

“Why? I'm handsome huh?” Devan asked who could not hide her charming smile.

Bella does not chimed in, she lets Devan get close first and sits next to her.

“Hey, why the hell?” All four of the men poked Bella's chin to tease her. He sat next to his wife without feeling.

“This what?” Bella instantly shows the display on the laptop screen on Devan. A view containing photographs of Bella from time to time.

“Oh, this..” Devan so scratch his head that does not itch. He forgot to hide Bella's special folder.

“There are download-an movie and mini series I all. This is your mas collection?” Bella was really curious.

“Hehe.. Yes.” Devan smiles to see his secret exposed.

“Where did you get my photo?” his wife's gaze was sharp, completely full of probing.

Looks like Devan can't dodge it let alone cover it all up.

“From the most trusted source.” He turned his mouth towards the sleeping Ozi.

“From brother?” As expected Bella but she is still not sure if she does not hear Devan's confession directly.

“Iya.” Devan was stunned as he looked at Bella's photos one by one in the open folder.

“After I left for Singapore, I was really lonely Bell. I have difficulty adapting plus it feels like I continue to grieve after my mother died, papah was detained and had to be forced to join Om Alwi.”

The photos fly back Devan's memories in his past.

“Just Ozi, who never left me since. He always told me, comforted me and occasionally told me about you.” Devan rubbed his wife's head while smiling anxiously. Bella is a panacea for all her fatigue.

“At that time, I never had the courage to call you because I know, I made a big mistake with ninggalin you so.”

“Make me entertain, Ozi often send you photos. Adek I join exkul taekwondo, I deliberately tell sport not to be overweight. That was the first message that captioned your photos when he chatted me.” Devan smiles a little while opening one of the old folders containing photos of Bella first.

“This photo he sent. And honestly, these photos make me smile myself squirming your various expressions.” Devan smiled faintly, among the memories of a difficult moment where he felt so lonely.

“Geez mas,,, that's me ugly. My bangs have just been cut as mamah because of the gum that covers my face, fitting I letusin.” Bella instantly closes her screen when she sees her own pot with a hanging bangs.

“Hhahaahha... Iyaaa.. This one is his picture?” Devan pulls Bella's hand for her to hold and opens another folder containing pictures of Bella crying as her hair is cut forcibly by Saras.

“Iiihhhh that I ugly bangeeettt. My nostrils are so big if I cry it.” Bella touched her own nose.

“Hahaha.. That's why I said you're prettier when you smile.” Devan Ledek.

“Maaasss, you yes!” Anxious Bella who pinched Devan's waist and the man just chuckled while trying to dodge. At the pull of Bella's hand to get closer to him then he hugged tightly.

Bella became silent in Devan's arms. They both looked at the other photos.

“This time bang Ozi fotoin I fit in SMA favorite. I've started to curusan because of his MOS torture so much.” Bella pointed to her photo wearing a tofu basket overhead, a big nameplate on the chest and other troublesome twists.

“This who crossed your face?” Devan was curious about the lipstick on Bella's cheek. His wife looked very funny at the time.

“Kakak class. He told me to get Mondy's name and have to ask for her autograph. I went around with a classmate named Mondy. I asked a lot of students but no one knew whether they pretended not to know, right in kumpulin I finally got scolding."

"It turns out Mondy was the name of the principal's favorite cat. Crazy, I was working that day. Almost only I asked to transfer schools to brother.” Bella's lips pursed because she was upset to remember the incident.

“Hahaha.. Yes Ozi the story is the same as me. He said you go home from school crying, until you don't want to eat everything.” Devan's anxiety at that time still persists to this day.

“But, how come you also have this photo?” Bella directs the cursor to a photo of him and Rangga.

“Iyaa, that's a sacred photo that almost made me go back to Indonesia.” I'm Devan. He paused his sentence for a while and looked at the photo.

“That day, was wednesday. Don't know why I miss you so much because Ozi has not sent a few weeks photos about you.”

“I chat him, keep me saying that I want to call you directly. Not through Ozi again.”

“But suddenly Ozi bales message I take the photo. Ozi said, You already have a boyfriend, so Monday at the ceremony."

"Heemmhh. That was a heartbroken day for me Bell. It hurts so much.” Devan gripped the tee shirt on his chest tightly.

“But, because of that I came to my senses, as a big brother, I was anxious but as a man, I couldn't accept.” I'm Devan firmly.

Hearing Devan's words, Bella turned her face to see the husband's face. Bella looked at Devan's little smiling lips, as if full of regret.

“So, have you loved me for a long time?” lirih Bella rubbed her husband's chest. His beating heart was calm like a melody that calmed him down.

Devan lowered his head slightly and returned Bella's gaze.

“It looks like so.” Answer Devan origin.

“Since when?” Bella's getting curious. He could not hide the bright and radiant hue of his face.

“Emmm, I don't know. I was clearly heartbroken at the time. "Gue tandain lo Rangga!" I could have sworn it was in my heart.”

“Hahahaha... Really?” Bella was ashamed to hear it.

“Iyaa!!” Devan meant.

“From other girls not that time?” Bella was curious.

“Loh, how is it?” Devan pinched Bella's nose in a fit of anxiety.

“Iissshh answer aja. You must have had a lot of exes. In Singapore, there are many quality beautiful girls who can attract your attention. Heemmhh Yes right? Ngaku ajalah.” Bella elbowed Devan's waist on purpose.

“No, I never dated. Although many have a crush on me, I have no desire to build a relationship.”

“Heemmhh narcissistic!" Bella pinches Devan's nose with anxiety.

"Emang why not date?” Seeing the look of her husband who is so handsome, with an athletic body that attracts attention, certainly not a few women who are after him. Her appearance alone is girlfriend-able once. Plus his cool attitude. There must be a lot of women who glanced or aggressively approached.

“Because,, I haven't been able to open with anyone else. About myself, my family.” I'm Devan with certainty.

“More than that, om Alwi still tied me up very strongly, limiting my wiggle room. I was raised to be his ambition and I felt that loving a woman needed freedom. I need to be able to love myself before I love others."

"In such a bound moment, how can I love myself let alone others?” Devan became stunned after saying that long sentence.

Bella could imagine Devan's shock at the time.

“Keep, why are you home?” This question always comes to mind Bella.

“Because of you.” Without hesitation Devan answered while gore Bella's nose with his nose.

“Oh yes? What am I doing until you feel you have to go home for me?”

“I'm worried about you.” That's the surest reason Devan can admit.

“Anx me?” Bella asked, not understanding.

“Iyaa.." Devan hugged his wife.

"Ozi says you're stuck in a toxic relationship. He said that he was sick too, so couldn't take good care of you."

"At that time I was very afraid because I once wriggled you slumped after your papah died. That's one of my biggest regrets because I wasn't there next to you when you were down."

"In addition, I'm afraid that you're broken by that man. That's why I came home to make sure you're okay.” Devan tightens his arms around Bella, as if he no longer wants to lose her.

Between happy and moved by Bella's feelings when hearing the reason for Devan's current return. He could not speak to express it.

“But the first time dateng, you are very indifferent loh mas. Ngeselin!”

Even though the night was running, their conversation continued.

“Oh yes? But you're curious about me?” devan's question is a fad.

"No! Even I often bete with you."

"I'm a handsome guy, names can make you a bete?"

And all night it seems like they're going to keep chatting. Until unconscious, if Ozi listened to the newlyweds chat while pretending to be asleep.

Hearing Bella who occasionally chuckles makes Ozi feel much more relieved. Also Devan who showed all his best efforts, made Ozi feel that he did not wrongly accept Devan's request to marry his sister.

“You should always be like this, happy and take care of each other. That's enough for me.” Inner Ozi while opening her eyes slightly.

And at that moment he saw Devan's head as if united with Bella's head. Did he kiss Bella?

Aarrgghh Ozi is still not willing. It sucks! It feels like he wants to throw a pillow at his best friend and sister-in-law. Dare to spread affection behind her.
