Ansel walked along the path with confidence, he asked every villager there with his cell phone and showed a picture of his wife Bella, he hoped that one of the residents would see the girl.
But his search on the fifth day remained fruitless. No one saw Bella in the village of Munduk.
Bella never left the house unless she went to the front yard to help her mother Laras take care of her ornamental plants.
For the purposes of eating Bella was the mother of Laras who prepared everything considering Bella was pregnant young, mother Laras worried if let Bella roam in the village that had just lived in her. So naturally no natives there know about its existence.
Ansel let out a long sigh, he stood on the edge of the lake while staring at the coffee plantation that lay in front of him. His mind is back.
'Don't Bella leave this village?' Ansel's face suddenly clouded.
Long Ansel stood there until finally he decided to go back to look for Bella again.
Ansel drove his trail to the coffee plantation, he began to ask every citizen who was gardening there, but no one knew of Bella's whereabouts, all just shaking his head.
Ansel took a furious breath, he began to despair. It looks like Bella is no longer in this Munduk village. Maybe he went somewhere else.
Not far from where Ansel stood a jeep car parked under the slope of the garden. The owner of the jeep sitting behind the steering wheel narrowed his eyes while observing each movement of Ansel with a sharp eye highlight.
Alaska tapped on the dashboard while scratching the scratching of her own chin.
'Does he have to tell Ansel that his wife is now at his villa?' Alaska was in his heart. But what about Bella? what if Bella did go to this village on purpose to avoid Ansel? Alaska is confused.
Long time Alaska parked his jeep there until finally he saw Ansel down and back running his motorbike towards the clove plantation.
At a glance, Alaska can know that Ansel must have been looking for Bella for days, he even had heard about the competition.
Alaska shook slowly. Finally he decided to go back to his villa without telling Ansel about Bella's whereabouts.
A week passed, Bella began to be able to adapt at the Villa, her activities planting ornamental plants owned by Ibu Laras made her a little able to forget for a moment the problem with Ansel.
But as night fell and when he was alone in the room, Ansel's shadow reappeared in his mind, taking over his calmness when he was dead turned his mind on something else but turned out to be a complete failure.
That night Bella sat in front of the balcony of her room while stroking her stomach, she stared at the moon accompanied by a plate of fried bananas and a cup of ginger tea that Mother Laras made for her.
The atmosphere of the night in the village of Munduk is completely inversely proportional to the city of Jakarta, the atmosphere there is really calm, there is no noise of noisy motor exhaust or frenetic night entertainment places, nightlife, all that is heard is the sound of crickets that are mutually simple.
Alaska arrived and immediately grabbed one fried banana and then a second later the fried banana had moved into his mouth.
"Sorry Bell, the ashes smell so good, why in the wine the fried banana?" Alaska sat next to Bella.
The man looked at Bella with his mouth still straws because he was busy chewing fried bananas.
"Yes ntar I eat kok Al, I want it deh same lo, lo when back to Jakarta again?" Bella asked as she looked at Alaska straight.
"Maybe next week Bell.." Alaska is still casually eating fried bananas in front of him.
"Lo take a leave of absence? haven't had a semester break yet, is it okay not to go in for that long?"
Alaska stopped chewing while looking at Bella.
"How do you go yourself? already almost two weeks more loh Bell, absent you must be red all Bell, the worst consequence of your value will drop and your scholarship can be revoked! you know that, right?" Alaska clucked in wonder.
Bella seemed to take a long breath.
"Either Al, I am also confused as to what to do in the future.."
Alaska looked at Bella clingy. It looks like Bella is facing a very severe problem, visible from the look of her face that is always grim at the end of this.
He did not expect his return to Bali and instead met with Bella.
"Bell, until when do you want to hide rich gini? Don't you want to go back with Mr. Ansel? maybe he's just busy with you now.." Alaska tried to lure Bella.
Bella seemed to be silent while biting her lips.
"Who said?" Alaskan fishing rod again.
"Well, 'cause the last time I left, we were fighting! you know what? I'm so scared because he never believed what I said! shouldn't we trust each other in marriage? if he loves me the same way, he should be able to listen to me more than anyone else! justin aja, anyways me and my baby can also live even without him!" Bella did not realize that she had rambled long wide.
After she looked at the dumbstruck Alaska, Bella realized that she had just told the man everything.
Oops, Bella instantly covered her own mouth with her palm.
Alaska shook her head slowly while holding a smile.
"Gue had guessed, you must have fought with Mr. Ansel.. What if it turns out he's in this village again nyariin lo Bell?" Alaska brought her face closer while grinning widely.
"Is serious?" Bella looked surprised. However, he hurriedly normalized his expression.
Alaska chuckles slowly.
"Say he could live without Mr. Ansel.." Alaskan speech makes Bella look upset.
Bella looks manyun, damn it! Alaska was just teasing him.
But Bella did not know that Alaska actually said the truth, Ansel was already in the village, looking for his whereabouts in recent days.
Morning at 06.30 wib in Munduk Village.
That morning somehow arrived Bella was eager to eat rujak, it seemed like the baby in her stomach.
Finally he decided to go to the market located under the plantation not far from the house of the mother of Laras, Bella accidentally did not tell Laras' mother that she left the house that morning because Ibu Laras would not allow it.
Bella walks down the path of the coffee plantation area. That morning the weather was so cool, a thin fog enveloped Bella's every step of the way. Bella is wearing a black cardigan with a dres with lilies that make her look very graceful and beautiful.
Bella stopped her steps while in the middle of the plantation, Bella was stunned when she saw a woman the same age as her standing in fear, in front of the woman was seen three large-bodied men were grinning at her.
"Take me off, sir, please!" Pinta the woman with a face of compassion while holding her hands together pleading for mercy.
"Haha, it's good to ask to be released! you know what not? your parents are already in debt and can't pay a penny! so don't blame us if we ask you to pay!" one of the men came forward and grabbed the two arms of the girl.
Bella flinched, hurriedly bowing so as not to be seen by them.
"But I don't have any money, sir, let me go, I promise I'll find a job and pay off all my parents' debts.."
The girl panicked and thrashed at the man who was holding her.
"Just kid! your parents are bragging too much! we will no longer be deceived by your sweet promises!"
One of the men came and took hold of the woman until now he could not dwell even a little under the grip of two men on the right and left.
"But take it easy, our Master will pay for everything as long as you serve him.." Say a big man with a tattoo on his right arm.
A man who had been standing in the back also advanced, he smiled rubbing his chin while looking at the woman with a me sum look. Looks like he was meant by 'Master' by his two friends.
Bella observed every move of the scene in front of her with a tense face.
Bella thought hard about what she could do to help the woman, because it seemed like the three young men had evil intentions for the woman.
"Aaahhh no!" The woman screamed as the man called Master flung his skirt up, but his mouth was immediately smothered by one of the men beside her.
Slowly the man called Master gripped the woman's chin violently.
"Arum. Just pay all your parents' debts by handing your virginity over to me, that way I'll take it paid off! and you can be free after this.." Said the man with a meaningful look.
Seriate..
