Bella's Script
Follows

Bella sat languidly on the terrace floor hugging her folded legs. After Devan's departure, he chose to stay outside and wait for Ozi to pick him up.

This minimalist apartment suddenly feels so spacious when there is no Devan on its side. The loneliness immediately ambushed and made him feel so scared. Fear of being alone, fear of being left behind and more than that if something bad happens to Devan.

For a long time with Devan, Bella knew this man well. A man with a high level of calmness who never makes Bella feel threatened or hesitant about anything. He always looks at a problem wisely, is good at making taking a stance with consideration that is always very high.

But apparently everyone always has. The limits he has to anger, sadness, disappointment and the limits of calmness itself. Bella has no idea what happened to Devan. She could not guess what kind of trouble disturbed her husband's composure and then acted rudely towards him.

But one thing that Bella can conclude, the problem has disturbed the limits of Devan's calm.

The lights illuminate the paved streets in front of Devan's apartment unit. A light flash from a car that then stops right in front of the apartment. The brake decitan is clearly heard, as if showing the driver's comfort stopping the speed of his vehicle.

Sure enough, two people descended in haste, namely Saras and Ozi. They approached Bella who was stranded alone, hugging her own two legs.

“Honey,..” Saras immediately ran over to Bella who turned her head blankly. Her eyes were red and puffy and the tear circles re-assembled in the corner of her eyes. I don't know since when his daughter stayed there when the air even at the end of this drought was very cold.

Saras immediately hugged Bella tightly, his heart was broken again seeing Bella as bad as this.

“Honey, why is it outside Nak?” Saras asked who was trying to hold back his tears. She hugged Bella tightly. His body felt so cold because of the cold air that enveloped his body.

“Mah, Devan goes Mah. But he didn't say where.” was going Bella's voice trembled, along with tears that returned to her cheeks.

There was an unfinished cry that was still in his custody and made his vocal cords feel so heavy that it made hoarse.

“Ssssttt... Calm down dear.. We will find out.. We wait for news from Devan, mamah sure Devan does not go without reason.” Saras tries to calm down the slumped Bella. He rubbed his daughter's back gently. He tried hard even though his feelings were not because of.

“Adek scared Mah. Adek was afraid that Devan also went away adek and did not come back again. How are you going?” Bella's voice stammered until it felt Saras' heart was also sliced.

Ozi looked at Bella's empty eyes again shedding tears. At times like this, Bella still worries about Devan, the man she thought would not make her sister cry.

“Lo what the hell is it? Don't think weird first. Devan asked you to believe him, right? Then you trust him enough.” Ozi was busy with her phone. Although he had time to gamang whether Devan really holds his speech or not. But this time, he had to trust Devan.

Bella turned her face, she looked at the older brother who was standing looking at her trying to contact someone.

“What if Devan lies? What if Devan doesn't come back like papah? Papah also said he only went away for a while because he had to solve his problems with the woman, but the evidence is not coming back. Papah instead went forever with the woman and left me. Papah lied to me bang..” Bella's voice is getting weaker. There was a heavy exhale from Bella's mouth that made her come down.

Her tears kept dripping but no sobbing was heard.

Ozi recalls how badly Bella fell when her late father left, and this time, Bella,

Oh no, Ozi can't imagine Bella's sky collapsing again and her world crumbling.

Ozi does not chim. He just bit the back of his hand holding back furiously. His eyes were in tears and he turned his face away from Bella so that the sister did not see the doubt in her eyes that made Bella will be worse.

He was still thinking, where exactly is Devan, why not explain anything before leaving?

Isn't finding Devan the most important thing right now? Maybe later he can beat her up and warn her not to treat Bella like this.

It was Saras who now rubbed his daughter's cheeks gently and also sobbed to hear Bella's words. He was speechless, only able to cry over his daughter's current condition.

"Don't think bad, son. We never know, maybe now Devan is in need of our help or need time for himself. Sometimes a person can look selfish before we know exactly why." Said Saras who looked at his daughter with an unknown feeling.

Bella bowed lethargic. In the end, they can only wait. Two people who are very sure that Devan is the best man for himself are now starting to doubt. Then, can he still be sure that at this time he is only in the wrong condition and viewpoint?

“Everything he brought. Hp, wallet, family photo he put beside the bed. Passport too. But he didn't let me come. He instead said, it's up.” Bella answered with tears.

Devan's words are again like a loud slap that makes Bella realize that love is not always beautiful. After the sweet words, all that remains is the commitment and trust that is currently at stake.

“Astachaa..” Ozi rubbed his face rough. He did not expect that Devan would be so selfish to Bella. He knows exactly what Bella is like. And Bella's fear is natural considering she was once traumatized by the father who became her first love.

Ozi approached Bella then crouched down and hugged her tightly.

“Lo should know, Devan not only love the same, he also respect lo. He can't act like a coward. And right now Devan needs to trust him. Wait for him to come home and do’ which is good for him. You understand right?” Whisper Ozi while tightening his embrace on Bella. Just once he told Bella like this.

Bella just nodded and buried her face in Ozi's chest. His defense was indeed on the verge of collapsing and his trust was almost gone if not reminded by Ozi.

“Now, lo same mamah wait in dalem yes, I want to connect someone first.” Pinta Ozi's. He broke his embrace from Bella and gently wiped her tears.

Ozi cupped both sides of Bella's head and rubbed her. He looked at the sister sharply, as if trying to encourage Bella.

Bella just nodded. It is true that at this time she must believe in her husband. Maybe what was on his mind was not what was actually happening.

“Ya already, log in gih.”

“Iya.” Bella nodded obediently.

Bella and Saras both enter the house while Ozi attempts to contact someone. Bella watched him from the inside, the older brother seemed to be talking seriously and who it was with.

“Drink dear,.. Adek need to calm down first. Bener said brother, do not panic, we must calm down and wait for news from Devan.” Saras sat next to Bella and gave her daughter a glass of mineral water.

“Still Mah.” Bella.

He took a sip of his mineral water for a while and let the cold sensation calm himself.

“Tadi Devan hasn't eaten Mah. And now he goes. What if he was a laper? I'm afraid she's sick.” Bella bowed lethargicly with her head supported by her right hand which massaged her temple gently. His left hand was still holding the glass in his hand.

Saras let out a deep sigh, he understood very well the worries of his daughter. He took a glass from Bella's hand and then he rubbed her back slowly and gently.

“Mamah sure, Devan will take care of himself. Because he knew, the wife he loved was waiting for news. Hem?” on the kiss of Bella's head gently then he pat her tense shoulders.

Bella is a little. He rested his head on Saras' shoulder, his most comfortable place at this time.

“Still Mah.” In his kiss was Saras' hand which tightly grasped his hand.

“Sama-sama darling.” The two women hoeed for a while, to strengthen each other.

Not long after, Ozi suddenly entered. His face looks tense.

“We go home now, we have to follow Devan. He went home to Singapore.” Ozi said suddenly.

“What?” saras and Bella respond together.
