Regardless of Ozi's ban, Bella chooses to go to see Rangga. He no longer cared about all the broken celebrations in the VVIP room.
By using an online project to get to the studio. The cold night wind he just ignored. 30 minutes trip felt a century he passed. He just had to make sure that Rangga was okay.
During the trip, he kept thinking that Rangga might feel depressed. Rangga felt unprepared to meet Bella's family, but because Saras asked her directly so that Rangga could not refuse.
Can Bella understand the reason for Rangga's unpreparedness. Rangga always felt that his current condition was far below the level of the Bella family. In addition to the always cynical attitude of Ozi, certainly a lot of offending Rangga. Finally Bella could only cry imagining Rangga's current feelings.
"I'm sorry," she said in her heart. He felt that this was all his fault for putting Rangga in an uncomfortable condition.
Arriving at the studio gate, only the streetlights were dimly lit. Rangga's car was also there but the atmosphere was very quiet. There was no window open as usual. Everything was closed and there was no music.
“Gaaa,, you at home?” Bella knocked on the door a few times.
“Gaa, it's me.. We need to talk..” again Bella knocked on the door and occasionally stick her ear on the door leaf to check whether Rangga was inside or not.
No answer at all. While wiping away the tears, with trembling hands Bella tried to contact Rangga. When connected, it also sounded Rangga's cell phone ringing from inside the house.
“Ga, plis replied Ga. I want to say..” again Bella spoke in despair.
Rangga still did not answer.
With a limp body, Bella sat in front of the door while leaning on the door leaf. The cold night wind made him embrace both his legs folded. He even realized that he was not wearing footwear.
He violently wiped his tears. Breathe a few times which he exhales slowly. He must neutralize his voice.
“Ga, if you are in Dalem, I want you to listen to me sebentaaaaar aja.” lirihnya. He needs a chance to vent the restrained feeling that makes him claustrophobic.
“Ga, today is the day I've been waiting for so much. I'm really happy because my mom finally opened the blessing door for us. Brother also did not protest when mama said that we would have family dinner. I can't wait for this day to arrive.”
“You know Ga, mamah said mamah will not demand we get married this year. My mom will appreciate our process. Mom just wants to get to know you closer. Mamah also wants to be introduced to mother and father as well as yaya and nana.”
“Mamah funny said it, he said do not meet on the road, uh even not aware if it's a candidate besan.” Bella smiled at the end of her sentence.
“Keep about your brother's attitude,” Bella paused her sentence with a deep sigh.
“Abang promise will change. He will respect you more and consider you his own brother. Brother was too stupid to think, he thought that if I were with you, I would forget about him. Yes .”.
“Although brother ngeselin, I still love brother. And you, I will always fight. So, for today's incident, I'm sorry that I was too selfish. I was rash because I thought you would also like to eat dinner equally mamah on the important day of mamah. Without me asking, you are willing.”
Bella fell silent again, she cursed her carelessness. He felt he knew Rangga but he did not understand the true heart of Rangga.
Unexpectedly, the door of the house opened. Bella's face turned bright and she quickly got up.
“Ga,” fun with sumeringah.
Rangga stood before him with his calm face. But when Bella will hug him, Rangga chose to stay away.
“Mar,” Bella sentence paused when she saw someone coming out of Rangga's room.
The woman wore a T-shirt that read “I'm hers” that Bella recognized as hers, a couple with Rangga that read “I'm his”. Not only that, the woman was wearing a bando with the number 2 on her head.
No less surprising, the woman is Amara, his best friend. He stood up straight, looking at Bella without the slightest surprise.
“Ga, you?” lirih Bella stammered. But his sentence came to a halt as he saw Rangga who was only wearing a polo shirt with boxer pants upside down.
"Damn!" His grunts.
For a moment he was fixated, staring at Rangga with a blank mind. His brain was trying to digest what was happening before him. It felt like it had stopped beating for a while when it saw everything in front of it. His legs suddenly limp, his body almost collapsed but he tried to survive, he had to prove himself true or not the guess that is currently in his mind.
Bella quickly barged in.
“Bell, I..” Rangga tried to resist thinking Bella would approach Amara.
But Bella's steps stopped when she saw a cake with the words “Happy 2nd anniversary A & R” equipped with several photos of the intimacy of Amara and Rangga taken with her polaroid camera.
Bella took a photo of Rangga and Amara with trembling hands. His chest felt tight and tears just dripped. He approached Rangga and looked at him fixedly,
“Say that what I saw was wrong.” Said Bella stammered while immersing the photo in Rangga's chest.
“BANANG GA!!!” grunts Bella. Her crying had completely broken.
Rangga just turned his face not saying anything.
“Ra, it's not what I expected right?” ask Bella to Amara.
Bella approached Amara and looked at her.
“Gue is wrong, right Ra? You're giving me another shot, aren't you Ra? I'm not having a birthday. You forgot my birthday? Date,”
“ENOUGH BELL!!!” amara finally upset.
“Enough? Lo said enough Ra?” Bella kept looking at Amara who kept turning her face not wanting to look at Bella.
“Enough for what? Too many words in my head that need you to clear up. Enough which one is Ra?” Bella takes Amara's hand but soon Amara flicks it off.
Bella smiled bitterly with tears breaking. His clenched hands held back the anger. In his eyes Rangga and Amara alternated but both were just silent.
“Enough I'm in the same bully temen-men, don't lo Bell. So mending we do not have to tell the others if we cementan.” Bella repeated a sentence that Amara had said before, making Amara look at Bella cynically.
He walked to the sofa, sat there looking at a photo of Rangga and Amara. Some of the poses do look tempting and Rangga like enjoying it. It felt like his heart had been forcefully released leaving only a feeling of disgust.
“There is enough lo Bell beside me, I will not care anymore even though I nyokap I.” This time Bella stared intently at Amara and the girl growled irritated at her past at the nosy.
Just look at her tightly clenched hand with sharpened eyes like wanting to tear Bella apart.
When angry it turns out the poisons that have been stored Bella can overflow uncontrollably but Bella, she is not concerned with it. This time alone he showed the attitude that he could be evil as Amara and Rangga did to him.
“Or, enough me who broke up with Niko Bell, you have to fight with Rangga. Please for my sake.” back Bella quoted Amara as walking up to the woman and looking at her fixedly. Bella was sad to remember that sentence.
“Quite which do you mean Ra?” again Bella asked with a cry that she was trying to endure.
Amara has been destroying her trust for a dozen years. He doesn't even think about everything Amara did behind him.
Finding Amara unmoved, Bella just smiled cynically. He rubbed his rough tears that kept dripping without a puff.
“And you Ga,” this time Bella turned to Rangga who was sculpting without daring to look at Bella.
“SIAL! I hate to have to admit that bang Ozi is right.” Bella smiled broadly but then she cried. His shoulders shook without any sound of crying being heard. It hurts so much to hold back crying like this.
He held his face with both hands for a while while trying to erase the memory of Ozi's words a moment ago towards him.
“Bang Ozi is right, if I'm a begok.” Sluggishly. He approached Rangga with his shaky steps.
“You didn't ask me for news, not because you're too focused on trying for us, but because I'm no longer one you need to fight for.”
“And you are angry with me, not because you feel I am always above you, but your ego is too big to admit THAT YOU ARE WRONG TO MANIPULATE ME.” Bella's voice rose again with her index finger pointing right in front of Rangga's face.
“That's so, isn't it Ga? RIGHT?!!” this time Bella grabbed Rangga's shirt firmly and shook her body.
He cried as he staggered in front of Rangga, beating Rangga's chest with the rest of his energy. But Rangga immediately grabbed the hand of Bella who was holding her clothes firmly.
“No need touch me!” exclaim Bella. He shook his hand which was held by Rangga.
“Why are you guys this bad as me huh? Two years, for two years you fooled me. Play crazy behind me. I can't even think positively about what you're doing behind my back. WHY RANGGA? WHY RA?!!!” bella on both.
Bella was crying again.
“Sial, I even still feel the pain of the scar two years ago.” Bella touched the scar on her hand.
“The hurt you made because I borrowed your phone. Were you afraid I knew you were together?” again Bella asked.
“YA! I have been with Rangga ever since. Are you satisfied now?!” amara answered that made Bella speechless.
“Rangga was happy at the same time me, that's the reason why he prefers to stay here just as I was on appeal attending that stupid dinner. And now you better go all the way from my life and Rangga.” Threaten Amara with confidence.
Bella realized, what she saw was not wrong. Conclusion's right. Rangga had been suing him for two years and he still firmly held on, arguing with Ozi that his choice was the best.
You idiot! Ozi is right, he is stupid. Then why is he still here?
Bella just smiled, trying to smile. He walked back away from Rangga. He didn't even have the strength to talk anymore. Maybe he should have left without having to think about the two people before him.
“Bell,” Oghed Rangga as Bella turned around and stepped out of the door.
But immediately Amara held Rangga's hand so as not to go after Bella. Right now, there were only the two of them without Bella's interference, as they had always wanted for these two years.
******
Bella walks with gontai, walking on uneven paved roads. He paid no heed to his sore feet when he stepped on the sharp pebbles. All he knew, he had to get out of here, going as far away as possible from the presence of Rangga and Amara.
The dripping tears slowly began to dry up swept away by the cold night wind. But his body felt hot, extremely hot as if he wanted to spew out lava of anger from his heart.
Ozi is right, he is stupid. It was foolish to assume that everything he saw between Amara and Rangga was normal. He lost his guard because he had put all his trust in Rangga and Amara his best friend.
He still remembers, how Amara who used to be bullied by school friends because of her mother's background as a night woman. No one from the school would come near, except Bella. He did not even hesitate to defend Amara in front of his friends.
While holding Amara's hand, Bella spoke out loud, “Amara my friend and as the head of OSIS at this school, I will not let bullying happen, especially against Amara. I'm not afraid to tell your parents or report to the police if you're still bullying Ara.” Bella protects the friend who betrayed her.
Amara only cries beside Bella, until Amara says that she is enough just to have Bella.
But it seems like it's not happening anymore. Amara is now much different from the Amara she used to know. They are just two strangers who don't actually recognize each other.
“Awh!” Bella was complaining weakly as her feet grew more painful.
Apparently he stepped on a sharp object until his foot was bleeding. He sat down on the sidewalk and just looked at his bleeding wound. I don't think what he should do. The contents of his head were too busy with memories of him with Rangga and Amara.
“BELL!!” a voice that is heard after the honking.
When Bella turned her head, there was a light that illuminated her, making Bella cover her face with an arm.
The figure of the man coming from the light was approaching.
“Lo why?” it was Devan. The man who approached her at the wrong time.
Bella did not answer, she just looked at Devan's worried face. The man no longer asked anything. He grabbed Bella's arm for her to wrap around her neck, then he held Bella.
He takes Bella into the car and Bella just looks at him with teary eyes, full of despair.
A fast-moving Devan, he quickly put on his seatbelt after making sure Bella was sitting comfortably. He ran around the car and sat behind the wheel. After the gas, no more sound came out of the mouths of the two.
Bella is engrossed in looking out the window without knowing what she is really seeing and Devan is furious, focused on running her car home.
“Gue won't go home.” Bella's voice was then heard as Devan almost arrived at the fork towards Bella's house. He was too embarrassed to just meet with Ozi and Saras.
Devan paused for a moment, seemingly thinking where he should take Bella. If he takes her to a hotel, he can't possibly leave Bella there. She worries that she will have to leave Bella alone and Bella does something.
Bella was so messy, the blood on her legs was just left to dry. If only the bad guys had found her, maybe Bella wouldn't have gotten into a fight either. Devan continues to think but cannot guess what happened in the studio until Bella looks very devastated.
Without thinking, Devan leads Bella to his apartment. He held Bella back and sat her down on the sofa.
He took a glass of water and put it in front of Bella.
“Drink Bell,..” Ogre Devan.
The woman shook her head, then she laid her body on the sofa. “Gue just want to sleep..” softly with a raucous voice, barely audible.
“If need something, you can call me.” Pointing to her room which was clearly visible from Bella's seat.
A little nod to Bella. He turned his body back to Devan and then closed his eyes that felt sore and swollen. He was really tired.
Some time to let Bella sleep on the sofa, Devan's feelings getting worse. Either Bella is asleep or not yet clear she herself can not sleep.
Finally he decided to wake up. Look at Bella from her room. Seen by Devan's blood on Bella's dry legs. He decided to go down. Take a soft cloth from the closet plus a bowl of warm water and medicine.
Bella sleeps sideways. Devan moves his hand in front of Bella's face but the girl does not budge. Bella is really sleeping.
He decided to treat Bella's leg. Starting by cleaning it and it is clear that there are broken glass stuck there.
“Jeez, you don't even complain about Bell...” witty Devan while looking at Bella's face that was swollen asleep, making her feel even more uncomfortable.
“Sorry if sick.” Another imbibing.
Slowly he pulled the glass shards from Bella's wound. When the fresh blood came back dripping, he directly pressed it down with a cotton swab. Maybe if Bella was conscious, she would scream in pain and scold her with annoyance but this time she did not pull her legs.
Devan tried to bleed dirty mixed with soil, pressing slowly while occasionally watching Bella's face remain asleep. After the wound is completely clean, Devan gives the medicine on top of the wound and then covers it with a thin gauze.
Finished with his wound, Devan cleansed Bella's other foot. The legs that are always sturdy walking here and there solve various problems without ever complaining. So this is the time that makes Devan most anxious about Bella because this woman looks so devastated.
“Lo must be fine Bell.” Lirih Devan's. I don't know why this time he hopes Bella wakes up and nagging anything to him.
But it didn't happen. The girl did not budge and Devan kept looking at her face in anxiety.
