David and Lim were still smiling in light of the incident they had just experienced. They had no idea that Bella would take them to the building. Although actually, Lim had had time to guess the place only he doubted that they would actually be directed to the place he thought.
Dilla, you're quite a prankster too until you can prank your friend like that. I didn't expect a quiet girl like you to have such a side and it was more unexpected that it was most likely that you were the daughter of the Erlangga family. That means you and the Boss behind me are still brothers (inner Lim)
“Bella, forget about it. I feel uncomfortable if you just stay quiet like this,” said David while holding Bella's hand.
“Apaan is holding-holding! Don't like to take advantage of the opportunity in constriction yes Boss,” said Bella fiercely while shaking off David's hand.
Don't know if if you keep holding my hand like I had my heart disease can be crushed again (said Bella in her heart)
Hearing Bella's words, David was not angry he smiled and repeated his actions.
“Iiih, this person rese ya,” grumbled Bella then bit the hand of David who held her hand.
“Aww, are you a cannibal? You could have bitten my hand,” David snapped.
“Your own fault, wek..,” said Bella while sticking out her tongue.
“Already said do not hold-hold still also hold-hold,”
“This you, I hold your hand so that your mood can be as usual and not continuously silent as before,” said David.
“Oh yes? So what do you want me to be like? Should I sing, scream, beg.. David marry me. So?” suhut Bella with eyes that began to rub.
Actually Bella felt very embarrassed by today's events, she cursed her own stupidity.
David who saw Bella's eyes began to feel guilty.
“Do you cry? Have forgiven me. I'm not going to do it again, so stop crying,” David's wishes.
“Who is crying? I just flickered,” said Bella evasive. He immediately wiped away the clear liquid that had started to appear in both of his eyes.
“Cih, liar!” she said concubines might not be heard by Bella.
This time David decided to just silence her, he did not want Bella's mood to get worse. Maybe at this time, this girl is taking time to calm her mind that seems chaotic due to her friend's ignorance. However, David is sure soon his mood will return as usual.
Meanwhile, Lim's car continues to slide through the streets. Not half an hour, they've reached Neni's house.
Neni was already preparing to wait for them on the front porch of her house. With various attributes that were about to be taken away with him.
“What's this Neni we're going there just for a minute?” david asked when he saw a row of large bags that had been lined up waiting to be lifted.
“Oh, these bags are souvenirs for all my neighbors in the village, because it has been about 19 years we did not go back there,” replied Neni.
David gestures for Lim to help Neni put her luggage into the trunk of the car.
“Bella, where?” asked Neni who was surprised because he had not seen his favorite grandson.
“He's in the car, Neni. Sleepiness,” replied David.
“Aih, that kid's a habit once. Not everywhere his work just sleep continues,” complained Neni.
It is true what Neni said, David had often seen Bella who often fell asleep everywhere.
“Hey, you sit in front! Let me be in the back with Bella,” protested Neni when she saw David about to sit back.
“Let's mess around with my grandson in the back,” muttered Neni when he got in the car.
David only fell silent because what Neni said was true. He was often tempted when he saw Bella sleeping like that. If Lim had not been in the car, the events of the night would have been repeated.
Bella who heard the noise started to open her eyes. He saw his beloved Neni was now sitting next to him.
“Hoam, Neni, you've been here apparently,” said Bella with eyes that are still half closed.
“Bella, when are you going to change your habits? Already want to marry your lazy nature still you do not lose,” said Neni.
“Married? Who wants to get married, Neni?” ask Bella.
“Of course you're Bella. You're getting engaged now, which means you're getting married soon. Especially you... Ah, yes, Neni so remember,” said Neni then took something out of his pocket.
“Bella, you drink this,” whispered Neni handing over one caplet of pills to Bella.
Bella who received the pill immediately opened her eyes wide while reading the writing on the pill.
“What is Neni?” shuddered in horror then spontaneously threw the pill in any direction.
“What does Neni mean give this kind of pill?” bella was furious because what Neni gave her was the contraceptive pill.
While David smiled as he read the pill packaging that had fallen nearby.
“That's for anticipation because you guys are already..,” said Neni hanging.
“Neni!!!! Why can Neni just believe in David's words anyway? David, try explaining! This misunderstanding is because of you, right,” cried Bella impression.
“Neni was actually yesterday that I just wanted to prank Neni's granddaughter who had been so brave to enter my room. So I said like that to Neni yesterday, sorry,”
David's explanation brings relief to Neni's true heart from an uneasy morning thinking of Bella.
“So you guys didn't do that?” ask Neni to make sure.
“Of course, Neni. I would have told Neni, my mischief, I will not ruin Neni's honor,” replied Bella.
David smiles at Bella's answer because all of her answers match David's estimation that the girl never did anything out of bounds.
“Thank God, Neni is very relieved. But, you're still a naughty girl,” pulls Bella's ear.
“Can you go inside a single man's room. Fortunately my future granddaughter is a good man. Otherwise, it is not impossible that the thing that Neni is worried about can really happen,” Neni's nag.
Cih, well what. Neni did not know that this perverted man often oppresses me (said Bella in heart).
David who saw Neni reprimanding his grandson only smiled because he felt Neni was already on his side.

Bella, David, Lim, and Neni finally get to their destination. Welcomed as breezy wind that blows hard, greet the faces that have long missed the place. The place in which is stored a million memories that Bella and Neninya will never forget.
“It turns out your birthplace is very beautiful,” said David when he saw the scenery that is still so beautiful in the homeland of Bella.
Kampung Pelangi is a village located along the coast of Pantai Indah Pelangi. The beach has not been touched by many visitors so that the color of the sea water is still natural.
“David, you certainly do not forget the purpose of your arrival to this place right?” tanya Neni looked towards David.
“Sure Neni I won't forget. My goal here is to qualify Neni's request to grant Bella's mother's three late wishes before she died,”
“Good then, now come with me,” invite Neni. They walked until they reached a simple cottage.
“Neni, finally home. Kirain will not return home until Teteh Bella is married,” said the middle-aged woman when she passed by Neni.
“Eh, whose tea is Neni? The candidate is Teteh Bella.. MasyaAllah, kacep kacida (very handsome). If the artist, then take the same Teteh Bella mah,” looks at David who only smiles because he does not really understand the language they speak.
“Muhun Nyai, have nuhun tos babantu clean-up in dieu salami kuring cicing in City B (True, Nyai. Thank you for your help here during my stay in City B)”
“Ah, Neni mah jiga ka saha wae (Ah, Neni, as same as anyone)”
David glanced at Lim, while Lim who understood the meaning of David's gesture only said,”translate below.”
Neni continued chatting with her acquaintance until she forgot about the three people who had come with her. In fact, Bella fell asleep in the closet in front of her cottage.
“Nah, this gift please share with all the neighbors who are here yes,” said Neni ended his conversation with his neighbor while handing over some parcels stored in the bag he carried.
“Hatur nohun, Neni. The law of seagrass Teteh Bella married (Thank you Neni, do not forget the law yes, if Teteh Bella married)” said the woman before leaving them.
“Aduh, sorry yes... Neni forgot that there were you. Uh, Bella where?”
“Tuh,” points to Bella who is fast asleep.
“Yeah, this kid,” said Neni patted his eel.
Then Neni also issued his flagship style.
“Bella!!” neni shouted that immediately woke Bella up.
“You're this. Still not enough did you sleep?”
“Not yet Neni and now I'm hungry,” replied Bella plain.
“Aih, you are this. Fortunately, Neni brought food from home. Then wash your hands first, we eat together,” take Neni.
***
After David and Lim finished eating and rested for a while, Neni finally revealed three wishes of Bella's mother which he made a condition for David to invite Bella to stay at his house.
“The people who live in this area are mostly poor people. So the first wish you have to fulfill is to give free basic food to 100 houses in this region,”
“Okay, that's fine. Lim!” call David and the Goddess.
“Good, Boss, Sembako will be here soon
an shared to 100 existing homes in the region,”
“Then the second?”
“Her mother Bella once said if she has a lot of money then she would like to give a saweran of 5 million rupiah to all citizens here,”
“Lim!”
“Each Boss, I will gather all the residents in the beach field and give a saweran to them,”
I didn't think it would be this easy (think David)
“Then the third?”
“Bella's mom loves to entertain people here. So his third wish and has not been granted in this place is to hold a show for residents here,”
“Display? What show does Neni mean?” david asked curiously, for some reason he felt this third condition would be quite troublesome.
“Conser dangdut for example,”
“What??!” david and Lim both.
“Dangdut?” Now they both look at each other.
God, it's ridiculous to imagine the boss singing a dangdut song. Wear duck bouncy or rocking drill huh? He he. (think Lim)
“Neni, who will hold a dangdut concert??” ask Bella who just finished washing the dirty dishes used to eat them.
“David,” replied Neni briefly.
“No, no, I haven't approved Neni,” said David in a panic.
“Then what show will you play to entertain the citizens here?” ask Neni.
“How about I sing and play acoustic guitar? Hows it? Isn't that the same?” tawar David's.
“Alright, it doesn't matter as long as you do it yourself,” replied Neni.
“Indeed you can sing what song?” ask Bella.
“You will see later,” replied David smiling happily because he felt this was the right moment for David to express his feelings for Bella.
