Bella's Script
It's Bella

POV Devan

“Bella has changed a lot.” The sentence was still clearly ringing in my ear when I got to this house.

And I clearly see that Bella has changed a lot.

The little Bella that I used to know as a quiet, calm, always smiling girl and her soft voice with words that were arranged as she spoke, was very rare for a child her age.

Right now Bella I see is, a sensitive girl, always thinking about people she thinks are important in her life and sometimes get caught up in her own thinking. He is always so focused on something that he forgets his surroundings.

And what I didn't expect was, Bella grew up to be an overly independent woman. It's hard to compensate. True what Ozi said, Bella is difficult to manage because she has her own thoughts.

I don't know what changed it. Maybe the time or maybe the amount of experience he went through when I was away from him.

Until now, Bella still looks upset when she sees me. Maybe because I left without saying goodbye. I never returned his letters or I never gave him any news.

He's still angry, yeah must be very angry. Unfortunately, he still had not found a reason to forbid me from coming to this house until he finally just made a limit.

I remember the times I left Bella without giving her a reason. He chased me to the airport right when he was supposed to be celebrating birthdays with his schoolmates.

"Sir Devan, take care of yourself... I will always ngabarin brother, brother do not forget to send the same news. Later on school holidays I followed Devan to Singapore. Dadaaaahhh..." That was the last sentence he said when he met me at the airport.

I'm little Devan, it was very selfish. I left the country on the day he had his birthday.

Ozi said, she had already arranged the house beautifully, placing two chairs in front of the birthday cake because we had a birthday with two figure candles on the same date with different age numbers.

I decided to leave without saying goodbye. If I think about it now, it's my biggest mistake. I'm such a coward.

But I really had to at that time. I was forced to leave Indonesia quickly. I didn't explain anything because I didn't know how to explain my condition back then. Bella was too small to understand my problem.

My second biggest mistake was, I never gave it anything. Or maybe intentionally not to. I was just secretly looking for news of him from Ozi. Ozi seemed to understand that I had to keep a little distance from Bella.

And Bella's right, to this day I haven't apologized for all my mistakes.

Is it too late now? Or is there still a chance?

“Now, you're just my partner at work. No need to feel there is more closeness especially a special relationship. You also do not need to tell others if we know each other more than that let alone say that we live at home.”

He immediately consulted me when he decided he was willing to be in the same department as me. Maybe I deserve to be treated like that.

However, there was one thing that did not change from him, his imagination. I was amazed to see the synopsis he made for the film we were going to work on. After reading the synopsis, I noticed, is it true that Bella I saw was Bella who wrote this synopsis?

The description he made was completely beyond my expectations. I kind of got into a story that actually just described 40% of the projects we made. I so imagine, Bella who plays the role of a character in the story that he made. It's 180 degrees different.

Yes, that's Bella. The girl who always makes me amazed both long ago and now. She grew up to be a great woman and was achieving her dream that she had always told me about.

And Bell, how could I be so stupid as to let so many moments pass that I barely recognize you?

“You ok bro?” I asked, when I went into the room and saw Ozi still lying on the bed.

Her eyes looked like they were thinking about what Bella said. Ozi's right, Bella's fighting.

“Better..” he tried to get up and I helped him immediately.

“Gue can be alone. You rest aja, surely you are also tired right?” His breath was a little breathless.

“Sorry has made you squirm things that you should not look at.” He said with pale lips.

I smiled and lay down next to Ozi.

“Lo should be treated before Bella and nyokap you know your condition. Lo also did not tell you how lo kayak.” condition I gave a little advice to my best friend. Don't let him regret doing the same thing as me, not giving an explanation.

“Hem.. Cave will say but not now.” Said slowly. His eyes were closed with a face that grimaced like it was withstanding pain.

“Need something?” my many.

“No need. Tell me how Bella is at the office. He must have been immersed in the script he made, right? Did she find her guy again?” Still Bella in her shoulder.

“Zii, you didn't hear Bella's talk? He wants you to believe. She's a grown woman and I see her as independent. Doesn't depend on the guy.” I tried to remind Ozi.

“Gue doesn't trust Bella but I can't trust her guy.” With closed eyes Ozi answered me.

“What makes you not believe? Doesn't everything need a process? Including Bella's relationship with her guy.”

Ozi's eyes opened. He took a deep breath and breathed it out. Like a lot of anger he's got.

“Bella is in process but the guy is not. Bella always tries to convince me and nyokap but the guy is not. Bella survives alone but she is unconscious. I feel, that guy again playin Bella, just no evidence yet. That's why I need your help. He was in a toxic relationship. I don't want to put me in broken.” This time Ozi looked at me expectantly.

“Lo may not believe it or understand. But, I'm sure the same feeling I have. Now Bella's hiding from me just as nyokap. She said I no longer need to think about her relationship with her guy. But that doesn't mean they're not together anymore, does it?” Ozi held my hand to convince me.

“But you asked me to come home did make this right?” ask me without a tendency.

“Still bro. Only you I can trust.” A few pats were given Ozi on my shoulder. He looks a little relieved.

I smiled to calm him down.

Ozi laid his body down quietly. I was too. We both looked at the ceiling of the room in white with a yellowish light. Our minds are both bright and either meet at the same point or not.

Belll, lo independently was still in worryin same brother lo.

*****

The sound of a spoon clashing with a plate dominated this morning. Bella with her fried rice and Devan with her toast. Breakfast is very different from Bella.

“Let's bring some fruit for a snack. Adek one, bang Devan one.” Saras said while putting two boxes of food into one goodie bag.

“Iya mah.” Bella glanced at Devan sitting in front of her. Enjoyed the man eating.

“Still tan.” Devan chimed in.

“Sama-sama darling.”

Bella komat kamit herself teased Devan who pretentiously smiled at her mamah speech. I think he wanted to say that it was his mother, his.

His komat came to a halt when suddenly someone approached and sat down beside him. Not only that, he also attached a sticky note next to Bella complete with one chocolate bar.

Bella looked at her brother who was smiling at her.

“Gue tinbangin first.” he said while biting the spoon holding a smile. If you feel wrong, Ozi can always be sweet to persuade Bella.

“Es the cream is in the refrigerator.” Tymphal Ozi.

Hah, this one brother always knows how to melt Bella's heart.

“Many gak?” Bella could not help her smile, making her lips crack perfectly.

“8, but do not lo abisin secligus, make stock.” god Ozi.

“Okey, I'm sorryin.” Bella's timpals finally.

“That's dong son mamah, who got along. Don't keep playing with rage. Mama's heart to be dislodged if you see you guys fighting let alone talking aloud like semalem.” Saras approached the two and took turns to kiss the heads of Bella and Ozi.

“She's an amused mah, I'm more patient. The proof is that I always give up.” Ozi stuck out his tongue to poke his sister.

“Dih, start again yaa..” Bella immediately glared but her lips remained smiling. Ozi likes to look for things. Teasing Bella like a mandatory thing that makes her day not run fun if she does not do it.

“Aduuhh already,,, Mama's heart deg degan fast again right this...” Saras rubbed his chest to calm his own feelings.

“Abang anyway, really like to find a storm with me.”

“Hahahaha.. End of exciting mah if godain Adek.” Ozi fashion is very sweet.

Biting Bella's hand with anxiety makes the girl growl with pursed lips annoyed. But Ozi just laughed. Devan who was sitting across from Bella also helped hold back the smile of seeing the behavior of these brothers.

On the way to the office Bella still smiled to herself looking at the chocolate bar that was now in her hand. His smile stopped when his curiosity could no longer be contained.

“Lo, do you know what my brother is sick?” that was the question Bella finally asked Devan.

The man seemed to tighten his grip on the steering wheel he was driving.

Hopefully he looks at Devan . Hopefully this time I get an answer.

Honestly, what made his anger subside faster was seeing a weak Ozi drooping on his bed. There was a feeling of guilt because he was fighting at the wrong time but his emotions were not held back last night.

“Why don't you ask directly Ozi?” Devan chose to ask.

“Rupanya lo tau.” Bella smiled crazily at Devan's reply, making the man look at her for a moment before then looking back at the street in front of her.

“Lo think I would have it if my brother wanted to tell you?” a little cynical Bella's sentence this time.

“Gue again drive. If you want to chat, later at the office.” Devan could have guessed that their conversation would have long-tailed.

“Repot really lo. There is no privacy in the office. I talked to one person an hour later one office found out. Too many ears are pinched. Can't answer me while driving. Not going to disturb you too.”

Right no, a single sentence of Devan's repulsion is equivalent to a paragraph of Bella's annoyance.

Devan did not respond. He pulled the car over and the car stopped.

“Gue knows that guy is not multitasking but only lo the most complicated. Chat should go to the side first.people call should not be answered if again drive. Ribet!” grunts.

“What makes you think that ozi is sick?” Devan chose not to override Bella's sentence.

“Ckk!” Bella screeched before starting her sentence. Devan is indeed a person who cannot be argued with.

“Gue often saw him taking drugs that he said were paracetamol but he did not have a fever. He often looks tired, shoots but tomorrow it is already a lot more. I also never met the results of the lab examination in the closet when I want the hoodie minjem but instead there is lo nongol from the bathroom.” This time Bella was upset.

Devan only turns his face away when his brain rewires the first time he meets Bella.

“No need in inget-inget!” bella's hand on Devan's face. Smelled fragrant and very soft.

Hah just increased that Devan should remember.

“Ngak!” sahut Devan fast.

“Continue now brother moved workplace. He used to use the car more often when he used to love using the motorbike. But what's even stranger is why he never brought his camera. Though it's his hoe if he wants to dig a fortune. Photographer does not bring a camera want to know what try?” again, Bella looked at Devan questioningly, making the man immediately turn his face away.

“Lo why the hell? Any eye shit in my eyes?  Is there a upil in my nose? I think it's so bad to see my face!” bella protests when Devan even melengos.

Devan just shook his head. Bella immediately turned on her cell phone camera and saw her own face. He also grinned worried that there were onions stuck between his teeth. Nothing is strange.

“Lo afraid I like you the same if we look at?” ambush Bella. Devan was silent and did not answer.

“Quietly, I already have a handsome and cool guy. Oh, no, not my type. I don't like the look of the mafia. Gondrong and there's the brew. Type kayak lo, suitable for girls who if not clean. That said nyokap me.” Cerocos Bell.

Devan just smiled a little at Bella's babble. The morning is more colorful.

“Smiles again lo, so you know what my brother hurts?” one elbow landed on Devan's arm.

“Ngak.” And the answer is always the same.

“Huft! Same asa.” Bella snorted in despair.

“Then I have to ask Inca for help to reverse my brother's spies? Where Inca is plain again. If he knows I suspect my brother is sick, he may even be sad. Fail again I.” Mumbled Bella. Either talk to himself or Devan.

“AWH!!” suddenly Bella complained. He also grabbed Devan's arm for him to squeeze.

“AWH!!” it feels like Devan wants to follow in the heart because of the strong grip of Bella.

“Something hurts?” she asked when she saw Bella holding her stomach.

“No pa pa, my stomach contractions doang. Go to the office now, I have to go to the toilet.” His ink while patting Devan's hands quite hard.

“Iyaa!” Devan immediately pulls Bella's seatbelt and pairs it up. He also restarted the car engine and drove the four-wheeled vehicle quickly mingled on the streets.

Bella was flabbergasted to see Devan being so sat set.
