Bella's Script
Devan VS Rangga

10 Minutes' drive through and no conversation between Bella and Devan. Bella is busy with her own thoughts and Devan is engrossed in watching the streets.

Arriving at a food stall Devan stopped his car.

“Down.” That was the only word that came out of his mouth while removing his seat belt.

“Gue no appetite Van. Directly to the office aja.” reject Bella. He refused to move out of his place.

“Lo forgot who nyokap you just said? You want to make me feel guilty for not following his mandate?” apparently this is how Devan forced Bella.

There is no sweet persuasion but by reminding him of the reality.

Bella just breathed her rough. Without chiming in he took off the seat belt that encircled his body and rushed down. Devan just looked at Bella who moved lazily, it turns out this way is quite powerful to ask Bella who likes to avoid debate.

They entered a soto shop. The stall was not too crowded, there were only a few people who were enjoying their dinner. It doesn't feel right now, it's almost 7 p.m.

Bella sat in one corner first while Devan ordered the menu. When he approached Bella, in his hand he brought a jar.

Put the jar in front of the two.

“Make me?” ask Bella.

“Hem, consider it a consolation.” Typhoon Devan.

Bella smiled to herself. Apparently this man still remembers that Bella really likes soto which is given a lot of fried onions.

When he was a child and Devan still lives in Bella's house, if Bella has trouble eating, Ozi will take them to the soto stall. Chicken soto to be exact. They each ate one portion and half of the eggs they gave to Bella. Not to forget Ozi gave a sprinkling of fried onion over his soto and Bella ate it voraciously.

The same thing Devan did. When Soto arrived in front of them, he took a whole round egg from his bowl and was about to give it to Bella.

“No need, 1 telor is enough. Later not to eat even mubazir.” Reject Bella, holding the egg into her bowl.

“Okey.” Bella's refusal made sense in her opinion.

Devan opens the lid of the onion-filled jar and points it at Bella. While he doesn't wear fried onions at all, it may worry Bella is lacking.

In the stirring of the soto with rice and one mouthful immediately slid into Devan's mouth. Meanwhile Bella just stirred her food while looking at Devan.

“Lo already know?” ask Bella suddenly.

He suspected this because he had seen Ozi and Devan several times sending news behind Bella. One time he caught the screen of Ozi's laptop that had not been closed and displayed Ozi's conversation with Devan. From there Bella concluded that Ozi and Devan were still exchanging news, discussing many things about the automotive even though Devan never even returned a letter or answered his phone.

I don't know why Ozi never told me or Devan never contacted him. Honestly, Bella was furious when Devan suddenly left but Devan never tried to fix everything. Bella was allowed to remain angry with the prejudice that was not in her mind.

With a mouthful of food, Devan's chewing stopped. He looked up at Bella. Looking at the corner of Devan's lips that left the soto sauce, Bella gave him a piece of tissue and put it next to Devan's hand.

“It's also alesan why you go home?” ask Bella later.

Roughly Devan swallowed his still intact food.

“If you think you can accept it, then consider it like it.” Answer Devan.

“Which I ask is not about my guess, but the truth is Van?” bella's voice rose with her hands clenched in annoyance.

"Why don't you ever answer my phone or reply to my email?"

He looked at Devan sharply and he turned his face to the other side. Just this time Bella looked at him fixedly full of disappointment.

Seeing some customers staring at them, Devan finally stared back at Bella.

“Gue tau, you are not ordinary so a spectacle right?” lirih Devan brings a glass of orange ice to Bella. His eye cues were like telling Bella that their surroundings were watching.

Bella slightly glanced at the right side and sure enough some people occasionally glanced at them then gossiped. Maybe Bella's voice was too loud.

“***!” the grunt was slow but full of emphasis. He had to raise his head, look around and nod with a faint smile.

“Sorry,” he said awkwardly. The men nodded back and then returned to their busy lives enjoying the food.

Thankfully, Bella can breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Devan so smile relieved.

“Means you've known for a long time right if your brother is sick?” again Bella asked this time in a normal voice.

“Hem,” only that Devan's legit.

“And you don't talk?” bella's body is leaning more and more on Devan.

This time Devan nodded.

Bella grunts annoyed. Put the spoon that he was holding firmly. Devan noticed that.

“How can you be sure your brother if you do not nyiapin energy to persuade him?” cetus Devan, indifferent.

As if Bella's current anger is not something worth arguing about. There is something more important in his opinion.

“Means lo?” Bella asked back with both eyebrows linked.

This time it was Devan who stopped the chewing. He put down his spoon and focused on looking at Bella.

“Lo think I'm just diem after tau Ozi is sick? You think, my effort is just to go home it to nemenin him?” tanyanya.

He recalled the first time Ozi told him he was sick.

“Gue hurts Van,” a piece of that sentence that Ozi said some time ago. With his pale face, he said that he had been hit by a tremendous pain in his head.

“Lo have you been to the doctor?” ask Devan who still does not believe.

Ozi. He showed a bottle of medicine in front of the camera and then put it rough.

“Brain tumor, the name of the disease that makes me feel like dying.” He said with a grievous smile. He squeezed his own head as a shadow of the pain in his back appeared.

“Gue alone. I don't even dare to tell this story as well as Bella. I also dare not take the next step. What if I die while Bella still needs me?” he looked at Devan desperately.

“Lo can go home Van?” the door is hopeful.

Devan was silent. Either he must agree to Ozi's request or not, because the conditions are too difficult.

“Gue sure, Bella is not angry anymore. I beg you, you go home. Not for me, but for Bella. Strengthen him if I have to go.” Ozi pleaded with her.

At that time Devan was silent. But it was clear what he chose, as he was today, he was right in front of Bella.

“Why don't you say my brother is sick?” again Bella was full of questions.

Devan gulped his drink back down the toilet. It was like he never lost. Or maybe his feelings are not calm.

“If he has the courage, he doesn't need me to talk. You think, it's nice for him to tell the people closest to him about his condition?”

"Forgive him that he's sick, it takes process and it hurts him. Moreover, imagine the condition of lo and nyokap after knowing that he was sick. You think it's easy?"

Devan's words make Bella silent. Devan is right, it takes a great deal of courage to admit our helplessness to others. It was certainly felt Ozi, so he could not tell his condition.

Starting to cross the mind of Bella Ozi's words all this time. His mind began to open up as he recalled the reason why Ozi was much more overprotective at the moment. He made the Inca a spy for him. Her anxiety over Bella and Rangga's growing relationship. And the reason why Ozi always says,

“Gue don't want you in the wrong hands."

"Lo think I can relax and wiggle you go same men who can't prove anything?” and the other words that are actually not distrust of Bella, but anxiety that Ozi can not express.

After the meal, Bella and Devan continue on their way to the office. Along the way they spend with the busy content of their respective minds. No conversation at all.

When getting off the car both were greeted by Rini and Melisa who were standing in front of the entrance.

“Where are you from?” rini asked curiously.

“Gue,” Bella turned to Devan who as usual just heard Rini's question.

“Buying to eat.” Answer Devan origin.

“Oouuww..” Rini's mouth immediately rounded and turned to Melisa who was beside him and threw a smile at each other, like there was communication between those who Bella and Devan did not understand. The two of them were a little cynical at Devan's reply.

“Ehhh that's not it. Don't misunderstand me. I'm with Devan. Uh Mr. Devan,” Bella is trying to find a reasonable explanation. But it turns out not as easy as writing a script, finding an explanation for yourself is harder.

“Gue has long wanted to know, you already know personally huh? How often do you come and go home from work? Now buy dinner with.”

“Yes, I feel that way too?” this time Melisa, who is not speaking, also took a vote.

“Ah, you like strange thoughts. It just so happens. Is it Van? Uh sir Devan.” Bella nudged Devan who was standing next to her.

“Hem. Coincidentally. After all, not everything should be your business and questionable,” explained Devan.

“But I'm also curious.” The voice behind Bella.

Bella's eyes instantly rounded as she recognized the voice behind her. Kontan he immediately turned around. And sure enough, the one standing behind him was Rangga, his lover.

“Ga?” Bella's approaching soon.

“You've been a long time ago?” the wrong behavior, which happened to Bella at this time.

Bella started to mince words. He shook his hands behind his body. Cueing Melisa, Rini and Devan to go and make room. But it seems only Melisa and Rini understand and leave immediately while Devan is still standing upright in his place.

“Pretty long to just squirm two people down from the same car.” Firmly Rangga while staring cynically Devan.

The one in the face did not flinch, feeling did not have the slightest mistake.

“Ohhhh dear, knowin.. This is Mr. Devan, the new director on my team. And Mr. Devan, know this is my girlfriend, Rangga.” Bella. He saw the two people just looking at each other without the intention to shake hands with each other.

Bella quickly raised Rangga and Devan's hands together, then made them shake hands. Stupid indeed, should have let it go.

“Yes, my GIRLFRIEND Bella.” Firmly Rangga full of emphasis on the word girlfriend. Full arrogance.

“Ya, I know.” Sahut Devan just ignore it.

“Bell, you want to take the same wallet right? Don't be long, we have to go back to the hospital.” Devan spoke casually.

“ASTAGA DEVAAANNNNN!!!!!!” I think Bella wants to scream like that.

“Kita? You mean the three of us or just you and Bella? Why are you talking so casually with my girlfriend?” cerocos Rangga did not accept.

Devan just smiled cynically. He remembered what Ozi said a while ago,

“I'm in a toxic relationship. You can help her get out of that relationship, right? I don't know how to tell him Van,” That's all Devan remembers and right now he's clearly seeing the look of a man who makes his best friend anxious.

And it seems Ozi's words are correct. Rangga was too fiery as he spoke in front of Bella.

“Ka,”

“Quite pack Devan.” Sela Bella as Devan opens her mouth.

“I excuse me for a moment, there is something I have to talk to my girlfriend.” continued Bella while pulling Rangga's hand.

“Ka-mi.. I want to say we Bell..” muttered Devan when he saw Bella go pull Rangga's hand to stay away.

“PASIN!!! What the hell?!” Rangga immediately shook his hand when he was in a quiet place.

“What do you have to do with that man? Why go home together. Keep eating together too. And now to the hospital together. Are you both behind me?” cerocos Rangga did not accept.

“Yaaang, really long. I'm still craving.” Bella Protests.

“Why dig? Shocked because to the gap, huh?!” rangga shouted in a high tone. Fortunately, most of the people in the office have gone home.

“Ngg-not the..” Bella's heart feels forced out of place. It hurts because it is so loud.

“Do not get angry first, I can clearin.” Persuade Bella. He grabbed Rangga's hand for him to hold and he sat down at the edge of the pool. The place calms down.

“You said what you Bell? Want to tell me you cheated? Yes?!” even though he had been invited to sit in a quiet place, Rangga was still fiery.

“This you, I connected from noon, no answer. I didn't pick up the phone either. You are the same man that forgot me?!” his anger has not yet subsided.

“Ga,.. I obviously broke yaa...” Bella again grabbed Rangga's hand for him to hold. In his eyes Rangga rounded with anger.

“Abang hurts.” Bella's voice was slightly restrained.

“I did run out of the hospital and bought to eat with Mr. Devan because he was also from the hospital.”

“Em, so Devan's sir, old brother's friend so he's also nengokin' brother. That's it Ga, nothing else.” Bella as bright as possible.

If he had to explain in detail, he could not imagine how Rangga's response would be. His body and mind were already very tired, for now he was not willing to argue anymore especially with Rangga. It takes time to think of the right way to explain everything.

“You sure that's it?” Rangga did not believe it completely. His gaze was full of search.

“Yes, that's all. My boyfriend only has 1, you doang. I am not thinking of cheating. Having you is enough for me. You live me Ga.” Bella is real.

“You didn't lie to me?” Rangga looked at Bella with the page, as if he had not fully believed it.

“No, how can I lie to you. I don't have anything to do with me, Devan.” Bella Strictly.

He so remembered the words Ozi, “Lo if you have focused like to forget right left.”

Bella must admit, Ozi was right this time. Bella is always too focused on one thing so as not to pay attention to the surrounding environment. Focus on writing, until he forgets that his colleagues see his movements even without being asked. It is not their fault that they assume he has more closeness with Devan, because he forgets to keep the attitude.

“I'm sorry, I made you think nothing.”  Bella really.

“Hem,, I just want to get you. You're my girlfriend Bell, don't make too close distance as any man.” Firm Rangga.

“Iya I understand,”

The two fell silent and threw smiles at each other. Lucky because this misunderstanding can be resolved.

“Yang, can you go to the hospital tomorrow? Nemuin brother..” suddenly Bella thought about it. He wants to prove to Ozi that Rangga cares about his family.

“Iang... Not that I don't want. But you know that I was traumatized by the hospital? Smell it makes me want to faint.” Kilah Ranges. Very quickly he answered.

Rangga does not like hospitals very much. When he was ill, he chose to be treated in the studio instead of sleeping in blankar RS.

“Iya. But later if your condition improves, you want to play at home for your brother? Who knows if we're the same as our persistence.”

“I need yaa...” promise Rangga.

Yes, this sentence Bella has heard often. Hopefully this time Rangga really work on it.
