“EHM!”
“ASTAGA!!” bella exclaimed as Deheman's voice shocked her steps.
In the darkness of the garden, a man walked up to him with his hands crossed in front of his chest.
“What time is this?” the man asked, looking at the clock in his hand.
Slowly, the man's face was clearly visible as the lights of the garden lights rose on his face. Apparently the man was sitting on a park chair either since when and just voiced when he saw Bella coming.
“Issh bang Ozi, I guess who!” bella's snorting was upset at her sister.
“Emang lo kira who, huh?!” timpal Ozi who ruffled Bella's hair with anxiety.
“Iihhh habit! I am a child!” clasping Ozi's hand that used to shuffle her hair or pinch her cheek.
“Lo doang's big body, lo boy's brain! Who were you in the anter? Where's your car?” Ozi dizzy looking out the fence.
“AArrghhh kepo lo!” Bella immediately brushed Ozi's face away from the fence. He pulls Ozi's hand to enter the house. He was worried that Rangga was still outside and near Ozi.
“Rules, if you are in the anter home the same guy is fine, the child must come down. Anterin lo sampe home. Say sorry to me just as mamah because nganter lo go home malem-malem. Say thanks you still minjemin your car same to him. Maen not go! What a difference tuh son with taxi driver online!” cerocos Ozi pulls Bella's hand in.
This kind of conversation that Bella avoids from being heard by Rangga.
“Isshh elo yes if you like not being filtered!” bella irritatedly clenched her lips with her index finger and thumb.
“Mau nyamperin how to try, if how to talk you already like a mother-emak complex. Putty!” slightly pushed Ozi who was blocking his way.
“Ya effort please! His name is also in blessing. Same time when you guys want to hide?” firmly Ozi who made Bella's footsteps stopped.
Bella sighed deeply and then exhaled slowly. He knew very well that his brother did not like Rangga too much because he thought Rangga was just messing around and never meant to be serious.
“Why? My real talk? Lo has not been in anything right the same guy, until bucin really lo kayaknya.” Ozi's search.
It was not without reason that Ozi spoke like this. Several times Ozi heard Bella crying because of a fight with Rangga. Actually it is a natural thing in a relationship, differences in views or legitimate opinions only occur. But the mistake is, Bella should not show her tears in front of her overprotective sister. This is also what makes Bella does not dare to do more behind her brother. CCTV is everywhere
“Lo don't know what happened between me and him. And you don't need to know. What is clear, my brain is still normal for me to know which things are good and which things are bad.” Bella firmly with a sharp look at her brother.
“Mending you find a girlfriend deh rather than lo take care of me. The monotony of life has no color. No need to find the color of the relationship dong!” bella is getting upset.
“Adekekkk, brother…. This why the hell? Malem-malem even fight?” saras' voice was then heard. He came out of his room because he heard the commotion of his two children.
Both are silent. Bella still breathed in rough air while Ozi tried to smile at her mother's arrival.
“Sorry mah, brother does not mean disturb rest mamah.” Ozi quickly.
“Abang tuh resek mah, ngeselin!” bella's snort seemed to have a place to complain.
“Abang, don't bother him. Kasian she's coming home from work tired.” Saras grabbed Ozi's arm for her to swipe to make her calmer.
“He's not coming home from work but going home. Ngaku lo samama mama! It is also forbidden not to boyfriend-girlfriend, still aja.”
“Eehhhh elo nih more difficult aja hell bang!” Bella chose to approach the older sister who felt cornered her.
“Adekkk,. brother...Us dong!” finally Saras raised his voice making both of them silent. If Saras's voice had risen, they would rather be silent, than later regret.
“Adek, you enter the room. Don't be afraid to go home malem gini.”
“Abang also, why this hour has not entered the room, if you are worried just as well tuh picked up, not already home even in omelin.” Cerocos Saras, staring intently at the two children who finally both bowed.
“I'm in mah, good night.” Bella chose to leave first. There is no point in lingering in front of the older brother who will even provoke a longer debate.
“Iya darling. Don't forget to change clothes by washing your face. If the laper malem, there is still food on the dining table.” Saras' voice sounded lower.
“Hem,” complete with thumbs up finally Bella went to the room and still got a sharp gaze from her brother and mother to disappear behind the door of her room.
“Abang not in?” change Ozi who asked.
“In a minute, wait temen.” He saw the clock on the wall, it was 10 p.m.
“Ya already, mamah enter first. Don't smash the bobboys, hem?” a fine swab is given Saras on the back of the child.
“Iya mah, sweet dreams yes..” in his kiss Saras forehead gently.
Although Ozi's character does tend to be hard, especially on the younger brother, but actually he is a figure who cares for his mother and sister. Only sometimes the way of delivery is unpleasant.
“Ngeselin!” bella grumbled when she was in her room. He still felt annoyed at the words of his brother who felt so judgmental.
Only a few moments Bella leaned against the door leaf of her room before finally throwing her bag over the bed and followed by dropping her body on her back beside the bag. He tried to regulate his breathing, a sense of annoyance made his heart still pounding quickly.
Staring at the ceiling of the room and what was seen at this moment was a yellowish incandescent flame that dazzled his eyes. Wrestling a little to shift his body closer to the end of the bed and then patting his hand once so that the lights of his room turn off to change the LED sleeping lights. He doesn't like to be in the dark.
In a few moments the atmosphere of the room turned romantic with the walls and ceiling of the blue room is equipped with a picture of the moon and stars that fill the entire room.
A few breaths were exhaled with relief by Bella. This change in mood makes Bella feel better. This is an easy way of healing that he does after being tired of his activities all day.
“Bang Ozi when can I trust Rangga? Why the hell is the nethink mulu? Bummer!” bella's lips were murmuring softly.
During the dating with Rangga, only a few times Ozi and Rangga met in person. The first impression when meeting Ozi's attitude was indifferent. He said Rangga is not the type of man who can be taken seriously.
“In front of lo doang he can alim, behind lo can never lo guarantee. Don't take nyesel lo love same guy like that!” that was the first sentence Ozi said when he got the opportunity to meet Rangga in person at the 40-day event of his father's death several years ago.
“Why? He's really nice. He protected me.” Bella at the time.
“Gue guy, I know what kind of behavior of a guy like your boyfriend. Inget, don't let me see you cry because of a guy!” the first meeting was a threat.
Bella scrunched her forehead not understanding. Only about 10 minutes he left Rangga and Ozi to talk but as if enough for Ozi to know the nature of his girlfriend to be able to conclude such a thing. 10 Minutes is not enough time to get to know someone. It could be that he just saw the ugliness without knowing the goodness of Rangga.
“Lo when the hell bang believe in my choice?” lirih Bella, still linked to her thoughts about Rangga and Ozi.
He still clearly remembered how Ozi had dominated him so much. He obliges his sister to attend the same school on the grounds that he can take care of her if there are children who disturb Bella. That can be accepted.
Bella's friends are followed by Ozi, which he thinks is toxic and which one he thinks is good. As a result, only one friend has survived until now, Amara. Bella's friend since Kindergarten until now.
It was just a matter of work alone that Ozi did not dominate. He gave his brother freedom to work in any field that became mandatory is must in Jakarta. Even almost every day Ozi drove Bella to work on their grounds one way.
“AArrrgghhh!!!! Bang Ozi, you are a possessive sister!” Bella ruffled her hair violently.
His body shook as the two repetitive legs hit the rough surface of the Mattress. He still did not think what Ozi really thought all this time. Does he think Bella is still a child like he used to say?
“Ayolaaahhh. Time kept like a kid anyway!? Ishk!!!” Bella hits a Tedy Bear doll for a gift from her sister. Every time he was upset with his brother, this doll would be his impingement.
Bella's grunts came to a halt as her phone rang and gave without an incoming message. With the flat object out of his pants pocket, two messages came in.
He took a deep breath to change his mood.
“Dek, sory disrupt malem-malem. I just want to ngabarin tomorrow filming team 2 in Cibubur yaa. Progres property preparation is already 90%. Lo if you want to follow a little regret, let me ready the tent first.” so the first message sent by one of his team-mates, named Roni.
Just for info, his team-mates are indeed many who call Bella adek because it adjusts to the way the brother calls her. Hah, all of his team-mates do know exactly who Ozi is. Many times he came to the set either to take Bella or just talk to the Bella team who end up leaving her.
Bang ozi is second to none.
“Syiiaapp! Btw, can I bring food not for lunch?” reply Bella with an expressive face even though all she sends is text messages.
“No need. If you don't mind, you bring it to burn the malemnya. Children have a male scene. Likes laper said.” Roni replied quickly.
“Okeyy!! All I pesenin bajigur or bandrek yaa,”
“Ashiap bella beautiful. We wait!”
Bella just smiled reading a reply from bang Roni. He was so grateful that his team-mates felt more like family. It felt like Bella had a lot of sisters at work.
“Belsky.. Lo forgot to bring a package for brother Bimbim yaa..” if this is definitely a message from Inca.
“Gosh!!!!” Bella wakes up to remember the package from the Inca for her sister.
Among his friends, only the Inca summoned a Bima Andika Fauzi with the call of Bimbim. Beyond that, they called him Ozi.
“Sorry eoni, I forgot…. Tomorrow bang Ozi nganterin me kok, I kasiin early in the morning yaa. Please do not get angry.” Eoni's call can usually melt the Inca's heart. Of course, he really likes the one that smells Korean.
“It’s ok belsky, tomorrow I wait in front of the guard post. Let's not forget ye, right?!” there was an emot kiss that he put at the end of his sentence.
“Good eoni. Tomorrow I will announce that I have arrived at the last red light to the office.”
Emoticon hug lined up which finally sent Inca. It was not imagined how tightly the Inca hugged her. Bella just smiled looking at her very expressive best friend in this chat.
Suddenly, his smile stopped when he saw the name of Rangga embedded in the top row of chat.
“My R” with heart emoticons black color on the end and labeled peach color, her favorite color. He deliberately pinned the name of Rangga on his contact so that it is always the top. In his mind Rangga is his priority and someone who he always later reportedly though not infrequently he was made to wait only by a reply to a short message letter “Y”. Sometimes he must first ask the news or tell this man. Are all men behaving like that?
As of this moment, already a few minutes had passed, Rangga had not given him any news. Bella finally sent him a chat first.
“Yang, have you nyampe?” bella wrote. 5 minutes ago 10 minutes passed but still no reply.
The longer in the face it turns out the phone screen the more it makes his round eyes start tired, the binarn began to dim. He took off his glasses which at all times faithfully helped him to see more clearly. The light from the phone's screen makes it slightly eye-catching.
The message has been sent but not read. Maybe Rangga is still on the road.
Bella then moved out of her bed. Put the glasses on the dresser, remove the hair tie and then kiss her long hair.
“Huweeekkk!!! Must shampoo this.” He muttered, as he smelled the sour smell from his hair. A little tidying his hair in front of the mirror, especially the little curly hair at the temple.
For a moment he looked at his haggard and tired face. One more pimple growing on his chin a sign he will soon meet his monthly guest.
“Haisshh, when the hell can smooth mens without having acne first?” pressing the pimples that are still flushed. It felt itchy wanting to break it immediately. But if he does, maybe tomorrow his mother will nag him,
“Adek, have already said that spotty should not be pressed and broken itself so. Mending to beauty clinic, all treatments.” This is what Saras used to say to remind him.
Bella smiled to herself. A beauty clinic is not a place that can be included in her current priority list. Included in his priorities are neatly arranged envelopes in the drawer he is currently looking at.
“Monthly fee, savings, mortgage and others.” Back in Bella's head spelled out her own writing.
No he denied, his salary working in PH is very sufficient. Moreover, he often gets a bonus if he takes a side job such as creating a script framework for a mini series or certain parts in the soap opera or series that are being worked on by his PH. Often he made a story even though in the end, his name never appeared as a script writer even though the money he received was very good.
“Espirit Bell, there will be time for you to enjoy what you already dapet. But at this time, hang on, there are things you should prioritize.” first
With a sparkling look on the glass, he tried to encourage himself.
“Ya, last for a while longer, hem?” in the pats of his own shoulders gently, like a flow of positive energy for his feelings that sometimes feel bad. At the moment, there was still a lot he had to think about, instead of thinking about himself.
Maybe, tomorrow there is another windfall that can make him enjoy a little more sweat.
