Bella's Script
Pop Corn Caramel

“Hay,” is just the word that got away from Bella's mouth. He tried to smile but his tense face hid his surprise.

“You came by?” he immediately approached Rangga who continued to look at Devan with full investigation.

In her arms Rangga tightly. He did not expect that Rangga would come to his house.

“Still come,” Bella wants to hug Rangga, but urung.

“Eh sorry, it turns out my hands are dirty.” His word. Either he should feel happy or how to see Rangga in this unfortunate situation.

Reading the look on Rangga's face, it seems that this man is full of curiosity and suspicion.

“Em, this is Devan sir. You inget right? You've met at,”

“Why is he here?” Rangga ignored Bella's explanation and immediately approached Devan. He stood up defiantly in front of the long-haired man.

“Oh, dia,” Bella immediately mediate.

“Gue stay here.” Sahut Devan calmly.

“APA?!” Bella and Rangga spoke at the same time. The two looked at Devan in surprise.

Seeing the shock of Bella and Rangga, Devan just sniffed her shoulders.

“Log in, Ozi again in dalem.” Take it, like a host. It was so simple that Devan said it until Bella did not think it out.

“DEVAAAAANNNNNNN Bella's mind while clenching her hands was upset. This guy really can't read the situation.

While talking, it seemed relaxed. He passed first into the house, leaving the door open for his guests. A line of smiles on the ground when he saw the annoyed face of Rangga from the reflection of the window glass.

When she looked, Rangga was looking at her questioningly. Bella smiled at Rangga.

“I can clear that,” persuade it.

But Rangga did not care about it. He stepped into the house following Devan who was walking quietly.

“ASTAGAAAAA!!!! Crazy this Devan!” bella's grouse behind Rangga.

Arriving at the family room, there was a sound of laughter from the Inca and Saras who were chatting. While Ozi was still with his cellphone lit and busy listening to the conversation of people there.

“Yes, the day after I entered. The road map will send an email to me. Okay, thanks bro, make a prayer.” His word. And not long after the call was cut off.

“Nak Rangga? Log in son,” welcome Saras. When he stood up.

Ozi who had just finished his call immediately turned his head.

“How are you tan?” Rangga shone Saras' hand.

“Bang,” alternates with Ozi.

“Good. Come sit.” Saras is indeed very friendly in contrast to Ozi who only answered him “Hem,” with a look of disbelief.

“Still tan,” Rangga sat opposite Ozi who was staring at him coldly.

“Bikin drinking deck,” Saras glanced at Bella who looks tense standing in her place.

“Iya mah's. I stay broke yes,” did not forget he rubbed Rangga's shoulder.

Rangga nodded lightly while smiling.

“Gue helpin Bell. Inka help Bella first yes tan.” The Inca soon moved from its place. The aura of the room that turned tense, made him not dare to be among those people.

“Iya nak.”

Bella leaves Rangga, Ozi, Saras and Devan in the living room. For a moment of silence, it somehow started the conversation in this awkward atmosphere.

“How is bang?” Finally, Rangga dared to ask first.

“Good, as you see. You alone, no longer busy with the band lo?” Ozi noticed the awkward Rangga before him.

“Emm, no bang. It just so happens that there is no scheduled gig lately. Mostly training with kids.” Rangga started to feel the atmosphere melting.

“Udah have how many songs now?” again Ozi asked.

“11 song bang. We're focusing on the producer. But yes, it's not that easy as it turns out.”

“Eemmm... 11 songs in over 5 years yes?”

“Gue think your band is not too productive yes. Sorry, I said gini.” Ozi said casually. I don't know what the words just meant.

Clearly, Rangga could only smile crazily. He had to get used to Ozi's attitude which showed clearly his dislike for Rangga. To strengthen himself, he linked his fingers which he then squeezed. Ozi's speech was not very comfortable in his ears and heart.

“Why don't you try something else. For example, you send a demo of your song to the film company, who knows can be the soundtrack right. Or lo gig do not wait for an event, but ngisi in the cafe, it is quite also. You can be familiar with people. Or also, you can apply a proposal to where I work, again there is recruitment for interns, sound.” team Barat Ozi who smiled small.

Whether this is a seriousness or not, Rangga clearly felt that Ozi was mocking him.

“Still the offer bang, only I still try band line together temen-temen.” Firm Rangga.

“Yaaa, can you be strong same stance lo. Just so the guy must have a plan A, B, C if necessary until Z. Moreover, you have long been macarin children people. Need certainty dong dia.” This time Ozi smiled sinisterly.

Rangga did not chim in, he just stared at Ozi. There was a faint smile that he showed to his future sister-in-law. He also turned to Devan who seemed busy with flat objects of his, maybe being replied to a message. But it is impossible that Devan did not hear the speech of his future brother-in-law.

"Abang, everyone will have their own choices, the important thing is that he continues to fight, not despair and responsibility as well as his choice." Saras tried to mediate.

A little helped by Saras' words, Rangga felt better.

In his place Ozi just nodded, occasionally scratching his temple which is actually not itchy. His sentence was slightly broken by Saras' speech. But it doesn't run out of ways.

“Bro, I denger one of the projects you already want to go up airing ya?” this time Ozi asked Devan.

“Hem, early next month.” Devan, who was engrossed with his phone, immediately put the flat object.

“Keren, lo emang deft. Success bro.” Ozi patted Devan's shoulder proudly.

Devan just smiled. Unintentionally, he saw the cynical gaze of Rangga who was clenching her hands.

If only they were outside, there might be a fistfight due to feeling in comparison.

*****

“***!” grunts Rangga.

He dropped his body on the sofa and rubbed his face violently. An annoyance and anger flailed in his chest and he could not just ignore it.

Not only because he saw the man he suspected was living in Bella's house but because of Ozi's attitude that seemed very proud Devan in front of him. It was as if there was no price in front of Ozi and Saras.

“AAARRGGGHHH!!!!!”

And the sad thing is, the way Ozi looked at her and the way Devan looked at Bella. Something was in his heart.

“Lo why?” ask Niko who is approaching. He noticed his best friend who came with an annoyed face.

“ASS****UU ALL!!!” grunts Rangga. He cupped his face with both hands while ************* his head felt dizzy.

“Out again same Bella?” search Niko.

Rangga clucked. He looked at his best friend sharply.

“The man lives at home with Bella.” His words are full of emphasis.

“Laki? Which men?” Niko is curious about Rangga's story.

“Yang lo saw in stall soto.” Firm Rangga.

“Oouuhhh...” Niko's mouth is rounded.

A few days ago he saw Bella eating soto with a man. At that time he also told Rangga and who would have thought it turned out Rangga followed Bella to his office. And sure enough, Bella got out of a car with the man.

“But how can you? Are you the same as Bella directly?”

Rangga moved from his place, walking back and forth not necessarily direction.

"Udah, but the answer doesn't make sense. There's something he's hiding from me." Rangga looks agitated.

He remembers how surprised Bella was when she arrived at his house. How relaxed he together to throw garbage while occasionally mutually lyrics. Sultry taste. And just before coming home, Bella gave him an explanation that she thought was still awkward.

“She's older brother from small, you don't have to think about the macem-macem.”

“With ease he said it like me.” Rangga exemplifies the way Bella speaks.

“Continue response lo what?” Niko patted the spot on the sofa to get Rangga back to sit down.

He shook his head lazily.

“Yes I asked, what kind of relationship he had with that guy. He just said, nothing special, just friends at work and relatives at home. Said Bella nyokap nyokap nyokapnya guy gondrong.” cerocos Rangga with upset.

Hearing Rangga's reply, Niko only smiled a little.

“How does it feel?” tanya Niko patted Rangga on the shoulder. He went to the chair where he played the drums.

“Means lo?” Rangga furrowed his brows, irritated by the way Niko seemed to have mocked him.

“Yes how does it feel to be jealous of Bella?"

"It's been the same for a long time with him. He did not answer until he finally called me and the kids just for news. He chatted yesterday just lo bales tomorrow the day after tomorrow. And now?” Niko chuckled to herself to see the look on Rangga's face.

“But wait, you're not really jealous, you're just afraid of your toys getting picked up by people. Because of jealousy, only belongs to those who still care about their partner.”

“Trang!!!” Niko hit the cymbal drum until it sounded loud.

"Lo don't be so smart! You don't know anything about me and Bella." rangga said with annoyance.

"Yeah, the details of your relationship I don't know. But, as a fellow guy, I know exactly. You just pretend that other people don't know about you the same," Niko did not continue her sentence when she saw Rangga's gaze filled with anger.

"Okey, I don't know anything." Its effects. He smiled as he continued to play the drums. It's more fun for him on appeal to have to lecture Rangga.

While Rangga was just glued to his place, looking at Niko without saying anything. Until then his phone rang with one name there,

“Ya, by?” then he went away from Niko who was engrossed in his own world.

“That's what I mean.” Niko muttered while shaking her head.

****

“Script done!!!!” bella exclaims while putting a pile of paper on Devan's desk.

His face looks bright with a big smile. Although it was not denied, there were dark circles in his eyes.

“Good! I read first.” reflex Devan smile.

“Okey. This afternoon, can we have lunch together? I think we need to equalize the perception so that your frequency is the same I about the plot and plot of each part.” Take Bella without hesitation.

Tumben, thought Devan. “Lo which of course is the place.” Devan without rejection.

“Okey. I'll be sure.” Bella gave her thumbs up.

As Bella passed and opened the door to leave Devan's room, her phone rang. His steps stopped and immediately checked his phone.

“Cabari through here.” The sound of the message.

Bella turns around and Devan picks up her phone. “My number.” His word.

Bella just put on a smile and walked out of Devan's room. While Devan smiles a little at Bella's carefree steps leaving her room.

“Bos! I let Netflix hang out in the pool. I want to enjoy me time bentar.”

One message was received by Devan and it turned out to be Bella's sender. He looked out the window, the girl was wearing her headset and waltzing out of the room.

“Do I need to buy pop corn?” fadfuck.

“The most delicious caramel taste.” Reply Bella.

Devan smiled wider and wider read Bella's reply. It's easy to appreciate a Bella.

Without waiting for long, he opened the delivery messaging app and ordered some food. While waiting, he started reading Bella's script on his desk. Occasionally he smiled, occasionally he frowned and sometimes his face flat or wrinkled to resist irritation. Emotions mixed.

“Tring!” one more message came in.

“Still pop corn same lychee tea.” Bella wrote along with a photo of the food Devan bought. What is interesting is the background photo of Bella's feet in the pool water.

“Enjoy. But do not over time, you can get the flu.” The reply.

“Hatchi!!!” new also message Devan read, Bella had sneezed first.

“Gue thought only humans could care.” Bella Ledek.

Devan smiled as he repeatedly read the message Bella sent.

Enjoying her free time, Bella spends the rest of her time by the pool. His phone is still playing his favorite Korean drama while his mouth is busy chewing on the large pop corn that Devan bought.

Hah, this is what's fun for Bella. Feeling his cold feet like his brain stopped thinking, there was no more noise of the voices of the characters he created in his imagination. He just needs to follow the flow in the drama he watched without having to think about what the end of this drama will look like. His brain seemed to rest comfortably for a while.
