Bella's Script
Farewell to friends

The next day, Bella came back to the hospital. As per his request, there were two police officers on guard to guard Amara from possible repeated assaults. Honestly, his initial intention was just to make sure of that.

As usual, Bella only briefly saw Amara's condition from the crack of her bedroom door and the rest she was more interested in seeing a crying baby in the perinatology room. Her crying grew louder and her movements grew more agile. It seemed, not only Amara, this baby was also fighting hard to survive.

“Ssttt...” Bella sizzles quietly, trying to calm the tiny baby who is crying loudly. Although her voice was not heard by the baby, she somehow reflexed.

Bella even gave a small smile as slowly the baby calmed down by itself.

“Good boy..” Say Bella from behind a big glass.

“So, did you report to the police?” a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind Bella.

Not too surprised actually with Amara's distinctive voice.

Amara was able to get out of her bed and sit in a wheelchair pushed by a nurse who helped her move from one place to another. With a gesture of his hand he asked the nurse to make room for him and Bella.

“No need to thank. I do not believe this is solely for lo.” Bella's closed mouth, folding her hands in front of her chest.

Amara smiled cynically, Bella was always good at packing her attitude while being disappointed by pretending not to care.

“You want what Bell is? You want me to bow down apologizing at your feet and thank you for everything you did for me, so?”

Amara's question sounds harsh and discourages Bella's efforts. Fortunately, Bella has been very accustomed to this one Amara attitude.

“Oo is not necessary. That apology doesn't happen now. I'm full with all your apologies first.” Timpal Bella without hesitation.

"Oh yeah? Are you sure you don't need an apology from me? Didn't you come here expecting that?" Timpal Amara with his fixed gaze on Bella.

“Ngak Ra's. Since long ago you always say sorry to me, because you always feel like a friend who sucks and bothers me. Lo says that you feel that I did too much for you and can not lo reply.”

“It looks like your speech at the time was indeed proven to be true.” Bella said with certainty.

“Lo also always says that you can't be a good friend to me, and that's true. To this day, you proved all the sayings of lo.”

Bella's memory revolves around all the words Amara used to say.

“I should have realized long ago, if you have failed to be my friend, Ra. You can never be in that position because you never know what a friendship means.”

“But I hope, this time you do not fail when you become a mother.” Firmly Bella while looking at the round eyes of Amara who is still reddish in her right corner because of the marks of the blow.

“Thank you for being on my side when I was devastated by my loss. It's the single greatest kindness I can remember that you did for me. I don't think I'll be able to pay it back. But now, I feel that I'm quite breakeven to your kindness at that time.”

“After this, even if then we really become two strangers to each other, I'm not going to have a problem with that. You can still be yourself lo and I, will remain me.” Firmly Bella with a gaze that locks on Amara.

For him, this was the longest sentence he had ever uttered in front of Amara. And after this, he felt that he did not need to say hello and talk with Amara again. They will live in their own world.

Amara does not chim. Just a moment he returned Bella's gaze before turning his face and choosing to look at his son who was inside the incubator. I don't know why Bella's speech was such a painful slap.

He realized, a lot of good things were then lost because of the hostility that was either started by what reason.

Feeling that there was nothing more Bella needed to talk to Amara about, the girl chose to leave. Let's just say this is Bella's last meeting with her best friend and after this, they're just two strangers who used to have the same story. Amara has been removed from Bella's script.

“Goodbye.” Inner Bella with her steady steps left Amara and the baby.

After Bella died, Amara was now alone. He looked at the little baby who was sleeping inside the incubator. The size is quite small, maybe one hand is enough to lift it.

“Heyy.. Baby...” Omit Amara slowly.

He smiled at the little baby, rubbed the glass surface, imagining that he could touch the baby. And then, her tears broke.

He cried a sigh in front of the big window glass that became the limit he had with the child. The pain of the surgical scar suddenly disappeared changing the feeling of the nelangsa that filled his heart.

She was happy because in the end she was able to give birth to a baby that she had been defending alone. A baby who never leaves her under any circumstances. But at the same time, he had released the hand of a friend who had been with him for a long time.

A friend who helped him through a difficult transition. A friend who gives him plenty of opportunities to do good. A friend who helped him find himself. A friend who chose to part with him after doing a good thing even though he had hurt him. A friend who gave her a chance to be a mother. And of course, a friend who often makes him not confident.

Bella is a shadow to Amara. A shadow of kindness that he never lived. The shadows were always his ambition and he could never achieve.

“Bella la Bella... Friend of Ara... Bella la Bella... Araa's favorite...” Amara still remembers exactly how happy she was when she sang the song while hugging Bella. Bella laughed happily at the song that Amara made spontaneously.

“Bella la Bella, the sweetness of Rangga….. Bella la Bella.. her love Rangga But then the sound of bass Rangga chimed. A voice that often makes Amara feel left out because the twinkle of Bella's eyes will be much more radiant when the man comes and rubs his head.

The guy she likes even since Bella hasn't known him. Shouldn't he also hear a special song from Rangga?

Perhaps, from then on Amara's heart began to waver in his defense as a friend.

Right now, Amara could only cry a mouthful in front of that huge glass. A nurse was about to approach worried Amara was in pain. But Amara asked the nurse to stay away. He needs time to find his own stupidity.

“How are you Neng Bella..” Say a security when you see the arrival of Bella.

“Good sir. Father how are you?” Timpal Bella.

“Alhamdulillah amazing.” His mouth while holding his thumb.

Bella smiled happily to hear the reply of the always feisty man.

Entering PH and some people still greet him kindly, they greet Bella and Bella nods her head in disgrace and puts a smile on them. This PH again feels like home to Bella.

“Bell, Bell, Bell...” Call Roni when you see Bella passing in front of her room.

“Hay Bang, what is it?” Bella sees Roni in such a hurry.

“Lo have opened our PH platform yet?" Ask curiously.

"Yet. Why why?"

"Liat dah, the number of views of the mini series of the same movie you made on rose again. I think because of the follower lo nambuk much deh. They know the work of lo.” Roni showed her tablet screen to Bella.

“Oh yes?” Bella was curious. He saw the mini-series on the social media platform owned by PH and sure enough, his view jumped dramatically.

“Yeah... This is really yes?” Bella shut her mouth in disbelief. His eyes were perfectly rounded looking at the view that rose so quickly in a matter of seconds with a variety of comments flooding in.

“Try lo check medsos lo Bell, surely your follower also go up.” Roni's haste with passion.

“Okey, just me check.” Bella quickly turns on her phone and logs in on her social media app. It has long been out of this application so as not to interfere because of the many notifications that come in.

Sure enough, when loading the home page, Bella immediately saw the number of notifications that entered. I don't know what the notification is. What is clear is that Bella is seeing more and more followers and her works are flooded with comments by netizens. The negative comments he had received were like drowning.

“Tuh right, follower lo so much!” Roni cried out to her eyes.

“Iya bang. I got a gemeter, but it was hard to find followers for people behind the scenes kayak kita.”

“Iyaaa…. Now they come by themselves.”

"Thank God, may this bring good benefits." Bella.

In the past, he was always sad because the script was not too much interest to the audience. He thought his efforts were in vain. Waking up at night to write is meaningless. And he was in a phase where he almost gave up.

Luckily, he has a good support system.

Eko once said, "If your work is not good, I will not use your script Bell. The problem of many or not audiences, it also depends on taste. So you don't have to worry about anything. Your writing does not make this company rupi but instead I thank you because you still want to give brilliant ideas in every script you make."

"Remember, everyone will meet with his time and every time there is a person. Maybe this is not the time for your script to attract many viewers but there will be a time when people flock to even scramble tickets to watch movies from the script you make."

"Right now, I want you to keep improving your ability to get better and not give up." Entertain Eko this time.

And at this time, Bella must admit that Eko's words are true. And he is grateful because it turns out slowly his work is getting known by many people.

“Yes, I want to see Devan first. You see gak?” Bella immediately drowned looking for the whereabouts of her husband. He wanted to see the man immediately.

“He's in the meeting room, again chatting with other crew.”

“Okey, if so please excuse me.” Pamit Bella's.

“Eh.. Wait Bell.” Roni held Bella's hand so as not to leave immediately.

“What?” Bella could not wait to see Roni pull her hand.

“Gue want it. Do you really have a relationship with Devan?” Akh, his brother is still asking..

Bella smiled slightly looking at Roni's expression. It's also because Roni doesn't know anything.

To answer Roni's question, Bella shows the back of her right hand, where her wedding ring is embedded.

“Suami wife.” I'm bella with great pride.

“HAH? WHAT?!” Roni did not believe it. Bella just sniffed her shoulders indifferently.

“Hahahaha. I'd like to see Devan first. Bye....” Bella walks quickly leaving Roni confused.

“I-Iyaa Bell..” Roni stammered to hear the answer of his former boss.
