Bella's Script
Roundtable

The atmosphere in the meeting room looked very tense. All think seriously, negotiate from the most subtle way to the sound that begins to rise. Up to 2 hours running, there has been no agreement that they make about the project they will run.

“We are not not not producing our film, but we make a choice to keep the condition stable during the project running.” The rising voice belonged to Eko as she spoke before Jihan who remained seated side-by-side and firmly with her stance.

His head was dizzy with all the demands of Jihan who did not want to be invited to find a middle ground.

“Have you forgotten why I work with this PH? Because of this script!!!” Point Jihan at the script Bella wrote.

“The problem is the player, I never planned that these two people should play. But, right now they are fulfilling the commercial side of the film I was hoping for. What's wrong with that condition? Wouldn't it be if the film was a success as well as this PH that will be won?” Jihan stared at all the pairs of eyes that were currently negotiating with her, especially Eko.

“Do not arrive because there are film crews that are not professional, so harm us all.” Change Devan this time in the face of Jihan.

The man turned his face away from Jihan. He realized, Jihan's thinking was not entirely wrong just Devan's high awareness that Jihan was utilizing this condition was very disturbing.

“If it is not me, then there can be no woman standing beside you.” Said Jihan some time ago when Devan met her in person.

Still vividly remembered how the triumphant smile that Jihan showed when she knew that Bella was falling.

“Bell,..” Wept Febby at the sight of Bella standing at the mouth of the door.

The woman seemed hesitant to enter. His hand gripped the take away paper cup holder with a few cups of caffeinated drinks on it.

“Siang,” greet Bella.

Everyone was surprised to see the girl. The girl who currently looks more thin but her appearance is neater.

“Come in. Here I help.” Indra immediately approached, taking over the paper cup holder in Bella's hand and inviting her in.

“Still bang.” Bella's whisper is taken in and smiles by Indra.

He sat beside Rini, with the corner of his eyes he glanced at the room that was looking at him.

“How are you doing Bell?” it was Jihan who asked first, making Eko and Devan look at her in shock.

Does she really care about Bella? Or just make sure that Bella is ready to lose against him.

“Good mba Jihan. Sorry because these few days I did not contribute much in the team.” Bella. Several times bowed to the people before him.

“No need to apologize, your condition is more difficult at this time. After all, the most important thing is now you can join Bell.” again Sahut Febby tried to neutralize the situation.

“Still mba Feb,” Bella smiles thinly at the bondol-haired woman.

“Because Bella is already here, why don't we ask directly.” This time Jihan's gaze was on Bella. A smile she gave.

“Iya, how is mba?” bella asked, looking back at Jihan.

An atmosphere of instant silence, like a breath they deliberately hold for the sake of listening to the conversation of two women in front of them at this time.

“Eemmm gini, me and the team, want to continue our project. However, there are some who do not agree that this film continues. That's why you might not be comfortable with some players at the moment. What do you think we should stop this project?” Jihan did not seem to hesitate at all to convey her sentence.

“Crazy girl mouth.” Indra whispers to Febby, staring at Jihan in disbelief. Jihan shook her head back, equally inexhaustible.

The classy-looking woman in front of him had no empathy at all.

This time the gaze of the entire room was on Bella. Like he determines whether or not this project can continue.

“Lo do not have to feel burdened Bell,.” Inca whispered in Bella's ear. Honestly, he was very worried about Bella's current emotional and mental state.

Bella sighed deeply, as if she was gathering her faith before answering Jihan's question.

Everyone was waiting for a definite answer from Bella with anxious hopes.

“Previous I apologize for hindering the production of this film.” Bella spoke calmly though under the table her hands were clenched to gather strength.

“Honestly, this is a very big opportunity for me because there are producers who want to use my script and make it into a movie.” He replied one by one to the pairs of eyes that were staring at him, without any hesitation.

“I hope, mba Jihan no longer have any doubts about the professionalism of this PH because I personally, will work well together in the process of making this film project regardless of who the player is considered capable to play every character in my script.” Bella continued without hesitation.

Eko could sigh in relief at Bella's words. While Jihan smiled slightly hearing Bella's answer, it was probably Bella's answer beyond her expectations. And there were some people who were staring at Bella with anxiety.

“Good, then there are no more problems right? This project can continue.” Said Jihan with a triumphant smile.

They also agreed to continue the film project. Only one person still looked at Bella anxiously while sending Bella a message.

“Meet me in the park.” Write Devan as the sender of the message.

Bella took the time to look at Devan who moved out of his place and out of the meeting room with his firm steps. The man still does not believe what he hears and it is Bella's job to convince him.

“Lo sure Bell?” whispered the Inca with great worry.

“Hem, I'm sure. I came out right away..” part, patted briefly the shoulder of the Inca who sagged heard Bella's answer.

Jihan, who saw Devan coming out of the room after Bella, just smiled cynically at her place. One bait he gave to Bella and innocently Bella received it. Like this girl doesn't know what she's going to face.

******

A man was standing firmly facing the wall filled with morning glory vines. The bright but shady atmosphere with morning glory flowers in bloom, it does not make this man calm.

Both of his hands were closed in front of his chest with his frowns in serious thought.

That familiar place is near Bella. The place where he usually secluded to calm himself by dipping his feet into the pool.

This time Bella chose to sit on a bench facing the pool, right next to Devan standing.

“There's a need to lo samplein to me?” ask Bella calmly.

Of the many people who doubted Bella's willingness to continue the project, it turns out Devan was the most visible reaction.

The tall man turned around, looked at Bella sharply and Bella just smiled as she always did.

“Lo sure same decision lo?” devan asked directly at the core of the conversation.

Bella just smiled, patting the spot on her empty side, asking Devan to sit down. As soon as Devan sat down, he needed to hear Bella's reason for asking Jihan.

After Devan sat down, he turned his gaze to the pair of interlocking hands to strengthen each other.

“Lo can probably imagine, how many times I have to set my breath and calm myself before answering Jihan.”'s question The girl smiled and still looked at her trembling hands.

Devan looked at Bella's hand. Shaking and still trying to calm down.

“Lo can also definitely guess how much effort I have to start today right?” This time Bella looked at the man who was looking at her anxiously.

I don't know since when did Devan start to show his expression and emotions so easy to read Bella? Or maybe Bella who began to be sensitive with every expression and gesture Devan who usually looks flat only.

“It's Van weight for me.” Bella smiled even though she was confused in the middle of her flogging feelings.

“But, want it or not, I still have to face this right?” Now he asked Devan who was still looking at him.

The man rubbed his face rough and looked seriously thinking.

“Lo can stop if you still need time to start everything Bell. After all, you are only an employee here, you do not have an absolute obligation to make this PH survive.” Devan said a little sarcastic.

Bella nodded slowly.

“No. I have an obligation to make this PH last.”

“BELL!!” devan quickly bluffed.

“Gue serious Van.” Bella cannot be denied.

“PH is not mine. This PH also does not necessarily make me rich if I risk everything. But, this PH that makes me last for several years, even until today.” Bella explained calmly.

“And again, you once said to me, if my memories are equal Rangga can not I escape right?” Bella stared fixedly at Devan, making the man turn his face.

He did not expect that Bella would use her postulate to serve as an excuse that what she did was right.

“Then my choice now is just to face it right? And get used to seeing what's been out of my sight. Wouldn't I get used to seeing them in my life without needing to feel anything?” Bella's gaze looked full of pain but reassuring. He did not even try to hold back his will while saying all those sentences.

Devan was stunned with a doubtful look at Bella.

“Thank you for worrying about me. But, I can promise, whatever I face later, leaving this world is not my choice to solve my life problems. You can believe it, right?” This is Bella's last sentence to convince Devan.

Devan was silent and looked attentively at Bella.

Bella pretends to see a clock in her hand.

“We've been outside a long time, they must have waited right?” He said, subtly asking Devan to stop arguing. It was his choice and he was sure to step up.

Devan did not reply, he was still with his thoughts on Bella's choice.

“Gue first yes..” on the pat of Devan's shoulder this time is not too upright. Bella chose to move on first.

“Bell,,” But Devan's bass voice stopped him again.

The man moved from his place, approaching Bella.

“Gue will always be near you and I will be there whenever you need me.” He said without hesitation.

Bella smiled slightly but did not look at the man. Honestly, he no longer wants to pin his hopes on anyone, including Devan.

“Thanks, Van.” Only that was Bella's reply before finally taking a steady step towards the meeting room.

"Bell, I keep your promise that you'll always be okay." Inner Devan while looking at Bella's shoulder that is getting farther away.
