HE'S NOT HUMAN
CHAPTER 4

Bella looked at herself in front of the glass, her unraveled hair had been tied back, her school clothes were a bit dull but still worth wearing. After being satisfied with her appearance, Bella came out of her room and headed for Jocelyn's room. Bella carefully stepped in, approaching Jocelyn who was still fast asleep in bed.

Bella still remembers the face of Jocelyn last night who almost lost her life. But Jocelyn won't remember anything. When Jocelyn was so drunk, she would just think it was a nightmare.

Bella got rid of Jocelyn's hair covering her face, not wanting to wake her up. "Ma, Bella's leaving, yeah" she said very slowly.

Nothing special this morning, other than the weather. At least not as rainy as the days before. Bella arrived at the school gate. He took a deep breath and exhaled it. His expression showed concern.

After Arro left last night, Bella couldn't sleep. He was worried about what would happen today. He hoped that Cyntia and her gang would not bother him, or that even if they were to disturb him, he would only control his feelings of not being hurt. Abusing was the only option he could make right now.

While in class, he was relieved his friends were still busy with their respective activities. Bella took out her writing book and reread the material she had recorded earlier. But a crumpled piece of paper formed a ball into the back of his head. Bella who was shocked, reflexes turned towards the arrival of the throw. But all seemed to be pretending nothing had happened and just laughing loosely. Bella once again, inhaled a lot of air, calmed her feelings and refocused on whatever was in her book.

After the second lesson ended, the time that Bella was worried about finally arrived. Bella unceasingly ate her bread. Sometimes staring at the door. Until the bell sound of the lesson mark will restart, Cintya does not appear. Bella smiled with relief, she took out her book to start a new lesson.

But suddenly a student he knew named Jason as the class representative informed him that the next lesson would be canceled because the school board was visiting. Just then, he saw Cintya and her gang walking in and heading to his desk.

"Hello Bella, honey," Cintya's special greeting to her. Bella lowered her face, she hoped inwardly this would be over soon.

"Cintya, I will accept all your treatment but not today." Bella says it slowly, she still looks down deep. He didn't want to see the face of Cinta.

"What are you talking about? I didn't hear it at all." Cintya brought her face closer to Bella. But Bella who did not see the movement, raised her head suddenly, making Bella's head hit hard on Cintya's face.

Cintya was pushed back, while covering her face. He grimaced in pain. As his hands he kept away, they could see the blood coming out of Cintya's nose.

Bella who saw him stood surprised and wanted to approach Cintya, "Cintya, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to" said Bella cut off as Cintya had already advanced towards her and.

The tightly slapped Bella could only fall silent in shock. All the students in the room were equally shocked. But they chose not to interfere.

" ******! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE HAA?!" Cintya screamed angrily, her hand reached into her bag pocket and smiled as she got what she was looking for. "Blood paid blood, how?" he pulled out the cutter and opened his knife eyes.

His friends standing next to him looked worried. They know, Cintya is not kidding.

"Cin, don't overdo it." One of his friends held Cintya's hand, warning her.

"SILENCE!" cintya orders with guts. His eyes were still filled with anger. Never had he felt humiliated like this. Especially because of Bella. A loser much lower than him.

Bella just stood still, she was scared. But he was not afraid of what she would do, but he was afraid of what would happen after this.

While in his mind, Cintya had already advanced and floated the cutter that scratched Bella's arm. Blood flowed from her arms, Bella grimaced painfully feeling the scratch, she reflexively covered the wound with her hands.

Just as Cintya was about to throw a second scratch, suddenly a violent flash of lightning followed by a thunderous sound, a split second later, followed, the explosion from the glass lights above them shocked the entire class. All who witnessed what happened shouted in shock and lowered their heads. Avoid falling fragments above them.

The clouds that were originally only a thin layer are now turning thicker and moving quickly to close the sunlight, making the atmosphere in the room darken and turn gripping.

Bella who knew it was Arro's actions immediately closed her eyes. He cried out inwardly begging Arro not to do anything.

"Arro, I know you heard this. Please don't do anything!" Bella repeated the sentence in her heart. Once again, Lightning struck violently with strong winds. Like someone there was expressing his wrath.

"Arro, I beg you." Bella continued to plead softly in her heart. Her tears fell. He really doesn't want anything bad to happen. “Arro, please stop!” bella cried again with her eyes still closed.

The wind that had been very strong also slowly stopped blowing and the clouds again let the sun emit its light. The atmosphere in the class seemed to be starting to light up again.

Cintya who was also still surprised by what happened, retreated in fear and ran out of the room.

As Bella opened her eyes, she saw everyone looking at her strangely. Bella smiled bitterly. Yes, at least for a while no one would dare to bother him anymore. He went out to the health room, the wound in his arm was getting sore.

...-----...

The last lesson was over 15 minutes ago, but Bella was still silent in her seat. He put his head on the table, his breathing was heavy, he was quite tired of what was happening.

At least, first if someone hurt him he would just forget about it and keep going through the day as usual. He's used to it that way. But after his agreement with Arro, he must ensure the safety of the person who hurt him.

Bella is not a hypocrite, sometimes she really wants to make Cintya, Jocelyn, and the people who hurt her disappear from her life. But that doesn't mean dead. He just wanted them to stop hurting him or simply ignore his existence.

Bella's feet stepped out of the school environment. But from then on it was like someone was watching him. Bella turned her head left and right, looking for where the uncomfortable feeling was coming from. But what could be caught by his eyes, was only a tall man in black clothes, as well as a mask covering his face.

Bella watched the man's movements. Nothing is suspicious. The man just stood there. At the end of the school gate. Even as Bella flashed in front of him, the man only saw her without doing anything. Bella walked over without looking back.

Arriving home, Bella knew she shouldn't be home at this hour, but she was tired. He no longer bothered Jocelyn who would curse him.

He took off his backpack and threw it in any direction, then threw his body into the bed. Bella wants to sleep. He wanted to rest for a while, before Jocelyn realized his return.

"Looks like you should learn some manners." Bella seems annoyed by Arro's presence.

"And it seems like you should learn to lock your windows," replied Arro expressionlessly.

Bella looked at her window that was already wide open. Though he remembered very well did not open the window lock when he came home from school earlier.

Arro didn't say anything else, he just stood there and rubbed Bella's bandage back.

"It's not sick anymore. Just a little scratch" Bella told a lie. He could still feel a slight sting on his arm.

“You can still lie?" Arro grinned, Bella forgot what Arro said last night.

"Arro .. I beg you. I meant what I asked for this afternoon.”

"I know. Therefore, I didn't kill him." Arro said it like a disappointed person.

Bella's eyes widened at Arro's words, "Arro, I don't want anyone to get hurt." Netra Bella's already glazed. "I'm used to this situation, I just need to ignore them and move on." Bella looked at Arro. Arro could see and feel the pain in Bella's heart.

"Now sleep!" arro's orders, ignoring Bella's words. He approached and gently rubbed Bella's mane.

Bella did not answer anymore, she only saw Arro who had disappeared in the darkness of the night. At that moment, Bella felt something strange. Why so quiet? Bella should have only been able to fall asleep 5 minutes before Jocelyn banged on her bedroom door.

Bella got out of her bed, unlocked the room, then peeked out from behind the door. All the rooms are pitch-black. Like there's been no activity since he got home from school.

“MAA!” Shouted Bella, fear suddenly haunts her feelings. Arro reneges on his promise and hurts Jocelyn. “MAA..!” bella shouted again, as she did not find Jocelyn in her room.

Bella's steps came to a halt when she saw Jocelyn's body lying in the kitchen. Bella ran over to Jocelyn. Her tears have fallen. “No! … Maaa?” Bella patted Jocelyn on the cheek slowly. Then, he heard a soft snoring sound from Jocelyn's mouth with the remaining food that had not been swallowed. That's when Bella realized, Arro had made Jocelyn fall asleep in the kitchen.

...-----...

The next day, Bella, who was getting ready for her school uniform, heard Jocelyn nagging at not finding a bottle of alcohol still filled.

"Heh, damn child! Buy alcohol up ahead!" jocelyn orders while throwing the banknotes at Bella.

"Ma, I've been wearing a uniform, certainly will not be loved by employees," explained Bella gently.

"I don't care. Just steal it if you can't," jocelyn snapped.

"Ma …."

"STILL REFUTE HAA?!" Jocelyn yelled angrily, her hand already raised to slap Bella. But his hand was stopped in midair, he stopped the horrible incident at ‘dreami’nya.

Bella who saw Jocelyn did nothing else was a little relieved. It's still morning, he doesn't want to go to school with red on his cheek.

"I'm leaving ma." Bella walked out the door. Jocelyn just looked at him without saying anything more.

Upon arrival at school, Bella enters her class. As usual, he sat quietly regardless of what was happening around him.

Until he heard Jason's voice from up ahead. "Friends, please pray for Cintya Eloise. Last night he went into the hospital and is still critical today."

Bella who heard the news was shocked while covering her wide open mouth. His eyes had turned red withholding the cry, he really did not want this to happen.

"Says he jumped out of his apartment room."

"Why did he suddenly want to kill himself? He was a bully."

"From the news that is circulating, some say that he uses illegal drugs, and it seems.…"

The sound was heard by Bella. He couldn't stand it anymore, his mind was screwed, he knew who was to blame. Bella immediately stood up and ran towards the rooftop.

"ARRO!!!!" scream Bella as loud as possible. "I know you heard me, if you don't come, I'm gonna jump out of this building" Bella said.

From behind, Bella heard the flapping of wings. He turned around quickly, "What su-" Bella said stopped, her face showing astonishment. The man standing before him was not Arro. But the man who loved her yesterday.

"Hey..." Her smile was friendly, but somehow Bella felt the coldness of that gaze. Bella wanted to run away from the man immediately.
