Bella's Script
Romantic dinner

“So, Bella who finally became your wife?” Ask Amri in between his chat with Devan.

They were relaxing on the terrace of the apartment while enjoying a cup of coffee. The two really spent time together, after a long time without seeing each other. Talk about each other, as if to pay for the amount of time they spend separately.

“Whose according to papah again?” Devan asked back.

“Yaa, papah thinks you will be close to many women. Since childhood you have been in the way of many girls and complex mothers. Many girls have a crush on you if we take a walk to the mall or to the park.” Amri remembers the memories he had with Devan.

When Devan was little, his son attracted many girls. His calm, cold bearing and the glare of his sharp eyes definitely made the hearts of the girls thump. And it carried on until he grew up as he is now.

“Neither, pah. Devan never messes with women. Devan mending time is used to learn many things, as papah taught first.” Bright Devan with a wry smile. Although his friendship with his father was very short, but so imprinted in Devan's mind.

Amri nodded slowly. He looked at the face of the child he so longed for.

“So, are you now really an astronaut or a film producer?”

The middle-aged man still remembered the two ideals Devan had always said long ago. She always said that she did not want to be a businessman like herself or become a famous actress like her mother.

“Director Pah.” Devan smiled slightly as he recalled his efforts to realize those ideals so heavily.

He is often at odds with Alwi, the man who raised him who wanted him to become a businessman, the successor of the Anggita family-owned business empire.

“And papah tau, whom Devan married is a talented script writer. Like his hobby, he really likes to tell interesting stories since childhood.” Devan slowly introduces Bella.

“Papah want to see my new project with Bella?” With enthusiasm Devan told me. His eyes always sparkled as he talked about the woman who was preparing dinner inside the house.

“Sure. Apparently, the soul mate is not where. You are not only married but there is also a joint project.” Amri with his admiration.

Devan excitedly pulled out his phone. Opens the gallery and shows Amri a teaser video.

“This clay.” Take Devan. He shifted his seat closer to Amri and saw the teaser together.

Amri seemed to enjoy when the video lasted less than a minute was played Devan. The man smiled and his eyes seemed to be in tears when he saw the achievement achieved by Devan.

“Good.” The compliment.

He was so proud of the child who could continue to grow well even without the supervision of him and his late wife.

He rubbed Devan's shoulder and patted her proudly.

“PaHot Pah.”

Reveal Devan with a warm feeling in his chest. Feelings that have been missing for 15 years. But then he came back, making Devan feel that his life is now too beautiful even though it is not perfect.

After watching the video, Devan and Amri both fell silent. They looked at each other and threw smiles. Like not believing that they can get back together even though they are no longer intact.

Devan saw Amri sigh deeply and then exhale softly. It was like a burden had just slipped off his shoulders.

“You know, papah had thought that maybe papah should be in that cell for life. Because papah has ruined the happiness of our family, so it feels quite fair.”

“Papah also do not know, what will papah do if papah is free. Would you be happy to see it or might be angry because this is unfair. Mamah always said that mamah wants to have a long life in order to accompany you to adulthood, get married and have a happy little family. But papah ended the dream.”

Without tears on Amri's cheeks. Tears that have always been faithful accompanied him for the past 15 years.

Devan was also surprised to hear Amri's words. It's true that it's a dream that Anggita has always said long ago.

"Because in addition to wanting to live long, you also want to see us happy. Can't we realize one of mamah's dreams?”

Devan is making a soft voice. He looked at the father who looked very sorry.

The man was downcast and a circle of tears so easily dripped on the back of his hand that gripped each other. An empty hand because there was no longer the hand of the woman he loved so much, which he always held tightly. He could only meet Anggita in his wishful thinking, twisting every beautiful memory they had ever passed through. Tetus repeats and repeats again.

Unknowingly, Amri's cries increasingly broke. He was crying beside Devan.

With a sad feeling, Devan approached the father and hugged him from the side making the man cry even more.

Devan rubbed Amri's shoulders gently, the shoulders of which were no longer as firm as they used to be. For the time being he knew that the place his father needed was his strong shoulder to lean on.

“Please reward.”

Bella puts food closer to her father-in-law. Some of the menus are on the dining table for them to enjoy together.

It was the first time they had come together at the same table to have dinner.

“Sorry because Bella still treats papah with food from the outside, Bella can not eat. Hehehe...” I'm the little smiling Bella.

“Loh yes it's okay. Eat it besides what menu thing, the most important with whom we enjoy it.” Amri wisely.

Bella smiled happily at her father-in-law's words.

“Here dear,..” Devan patted the spot beside her for Bella to sit down.

“Mas, ihhh..” Whisper with a blushing face in embarrassment he was called like that in the presence of Amri.

“Yes is okay, papah seneng loh we are romantic, is it pah?” Timpal Devan involved his father.

“Iyaaa, papah seneng if you squirm get along, showing each other affection. It makes papah feel young again.” I'm Amri.

“Tuh right. You should know that Papah is romantic. The number is many.” Praise Devan without hesitation.

“Iyaaa, don't be weird if Devan likes to seduce you. That's a talent from papah.” Amri with a spirit of chiming.

“But, Mas Devan is not romantic like Bella. Frequent cuek-cuek that.” Bella tries to tempt the husband to make Devan's eyes round the wrath on the wife.

“Do not cuek-cuek is Van. Make Bella fall in love with you so that her heart is 1000% for you. To be able to get the heart of the woman we love is the greatest happiness and peace.” Amri said with great determination.

“Iya pah, later Devan will be even more romantic with Bella. Devan will make Bella klepek-klepek.” Devan agrees with his father's words and smiles mischievously at Bella.

Bella could immediately catch the signal that Devan sent through her husband's gaze and smile.

“Iyaaa.. Anyway papah will watch over you. Papah does not allow you to hurt the wife you married. Remember message papah.” Amri said it really.

“Ready!” sahut Devan with passion.

Bella gave a small smile at the interaction between father and son. He could see how the two attempted to fill the void in each other's hearts. And seeing Amri's sweet attitude, he could imagine how great the love of Papah Devan was to his late mother. Maybe that made him feel guilty for a long time.
