The Family And Enemy
Bad News

As usual Alex picked up Bela. Taking and accompanying wherever Bela went was already a new activity for her. After addressing the Bela family's tempest, Alex always wanted to protect her. Either pity or some other feeling. He himself felt comfortable when Bela was with him. It was as if Bela's charm was able to pierce through the darkness of her heart. Alex doesn't know what he thinks is right or not.

"Lex, tomorrow don't have to be picked up. My feet can be used for walking. Bwsok I'll drive myself." Bela opens Alex's car door and exits.

"Bel, did you forget?" Alex followed Bela.

"No, dating does not mean everywhere should be delivered. Tomorrow I'll go to the home where I live first." Bela occupied the front of Alex's car.

"I have no activities tomorrow. I'll keep giving you no rejection." Alex has reaffirmed. He did not want Bela to go alone the danger was always around him.

"Are you going to stick to me like a postage stamp?." Alex always provokes Bela's emotions.

"Hmm, I can." Alex is getting Bela upset. I want to feel like Bela clawed Alex's face and tore his body apart.

"OK it up." Bela left Alex. He can't linger with Alex could-can he's had a heart attack because of high blood pressure. Sillier.

"We can start our plans tonight." Dyra smiled cunningly.

"(.....)"

"Keep, then our secret will vanish with him." Dyra turned off the phone. He's very confident.

"Well, that's Bryan's leaving." Aurel approached his mother. Aurel wiped her tears.

"Oh, mama doesn't want to see him go. Mama's afraid your future daughter-in-law will find it hard to leave." Actually that's not what Dyra meant, he had other intentions.

"Jude, let's go home. Aunt Evi told me to go home so I wouldn't feel too sad." Aurel held back tears.

"Mama's going to the office too." Dyra got up from the airport waiting chair.

"Take my mom to the office, she said she didn't work. I'll go to college too." Aurel sulks.

"Change your childlike attitude. Mama doesn't like it. Mama wants you to be a tough woman like mama." Dyra gripped Aurel's shoulder.

"Mama's naught." Aurel was terrified to see her mother's different treatment. He shed those tears and made Dyra even more dislikeful.

"Cry! if you were like Bela, you would be happy now." Dyra took off her grip. He turned around and left Aurel in the crowd.

Defend again Bela again. You said you didn't hate me. But you made me hate you. I never liked you before. Now I hate you. Hates you so much.

Aurel clenched her hand. It seemed like his sense of irony towards Bela had turned into hate.

Bela, Mayleen, Arvin and Alex have all finished their classes. Now they are in the parking lot.

"Boss, you know what?"

"Not knowing." Alex answered it origin.

"Clearly you don't know. I was just gonna tell you." Arvin held his forehead.

"Don't talk to him. Talking to the tires of this car is the same as talking to him." Bela pointed at Alex's car tyre.

"You're absolutely right, sister-in-law. Hahaahaha." Arvin laughed out loud. His laughter made Bela and Mayleen laugh as well. Alex just watched them. Just this time Alex saw Bela laughing. He thinks it's really pretty.

Laugh like this often. I've never seen you cry. I wish I'd never seen you cry. I just want to see you laugh like this. Alex smiled faintly and no one could see him.

"Who are you calling a sister-in-law?." Suddenly Bela stopped laughing and realized something.

"Of course you are." Arvin answered honestly.

The mood became quiet. Bela just stared at Arvin.

Well, so goosebumps gini. Arvin felt the cold air sweep over his skin. He glanced at Bela who was staring at him.

"He's just kidding, Bel." Mayleen patted Bela's shoulder to melt the atmosphere.

"I'm sorry for my sister-in-law, I mean Bela. Let's take Mayleen home." Arvin pulls Mayleen's hand.

"Bela us first." Before getting into Arvin's car, Mayleen waves at Bela.

"Byee." Bela also waved her hand. Arvin's car started leaving the parking lot.

"You scared him." Alex chuckles at Arvin's behavior.

"I didn't do anything." Bela folded her hands in front of her chest.

"We're going home now?"

"Hmm, okay." Get in Alex's car.

Aurel just got back from college. He was annoyed with his college friends. He threw his bag on the sofa.

"ARRGH." Aurel held her head and shouted.

"Alex and Bela are very compatible. More compatible than Aurel and Bryan."

"Bryan, by the way, moved to college abroad. So they're LDRs."

"It's just that Bela doesn't like it. She's a pretty ass."

"Actually the one that the boy picked up was Aurel. He's just a newcomer to the Bela family and a nobody."

"If it wasn't for his rich family he couldn't possibly be what he is today."

"She's too confident because all the men here just praise her pretty."

"That's all a lie."

"Who would be friends with a little fellow like him."

"If it weren't for our parents' business in his mother's hands we wouldn't have praised her like a goddess."

All those words were meant for Aurel. All of that is true. All of their parents' businesses are in Dyra's hands. If one of them hurts Aurel then their parents' business is at stake.

"Currently, everyone is insincere. Everyone's two-faced." Aurel rips through the business magazine on the table to vent his anger.

Gian just got home from school. He was shocked when he entered the house. She was afraid that Aurel would vent his anger on her. Gian tried to relax as if he did not see Aurel's absence in your room.

"Hey, you're here for a second!." Aurel sees Gian coming and calls him.

"Me?" Gian pointed at himself.

"Yes, who else?" Aurel ruffled waist.

With a slight hesitation, Gian approached Aurel.

"What's up, brother?." Gian ventured to ask.

"How many times have I told you? I'M NOT YOUR BROTHER." Aurel pulled the collar of the shirt Gian was wearing.

"But I'm mama's son too. We are all family."

Aurel slaps Gian until his hand imprints on Gian's cheek.

"Don't call my mama mama either. We're family but you're a bastard. Now leave! you're making me even more upset." Aurel pushes rough Gian.

Gian wondered in his heart. What did he say wrong? What mistake did he make?

Gian was silent, instantly all the events that had traumatized him continued to spin in his memory. He climbed up the stairs to his room with a feeling that was extremely indescribable.

Aurel sat down on the sofa. He's massaging his temples. His head feels like it's about to break. Today all the events that happened were too draining of his emotions.

"Has Gian gone home?." Aurel turned his head, surprised to find Bela and Alex standing on the doorstep.

"Just got home." Aurel.

Did he see me slap Gian?.

Bela narrowed her eyes. He approached Aurel who was sweating coldly.

"I know you don't want Bryan to leave you, but that's for your future, too." Bela patted Aurel's shoulder. He understood Aurel was sad. Bela understood what it was like to be left behind.

"Hm yes." Aurel smiled faintly. In his heart he felt relieved. He thought Bela saw what she had done to Gian. His guess was wrong, Bela saw nothing.

Bela doesn't talk much besides that. He chose to be ordinary. He left Aurel still shrouded in anxious feelings. She climbed the stairs followed by Alex.

"Bel, is Alex going to your room too?." Aurel feels uncomfortable when Bela is often with Alex. Moreover, Alex just got to know Bela even the first time they met them. But now that they are in a relationship, Aurel's curiosity is getting bigger.

Bela stopped and looked down.

"Why? can't it? you were also often alone with Bryan in the room. Did I forbid you? don't be so selfish." Bela suppresses the word selfish. Then he grabbed Alex by the arm and headed straight for his room.

Aurel's speechless. Bela's words were right about his heart. Bela was truly selfish. And it will continue to be. It was as if that selfish nature had been permanently attached to him.

The ringing house phone resuscitated Aurel from his daydream. It's not usual to ring house calls on nights like this. Curiously Aurel picked it up.

"Hello."

"What is this about Mr Arron's family?."

"Yes right. What's up?"

"(...)"

"WHAT?" Aurel. He couldn't believe what the other guy was saying.

"(...)"

"We'll be there soon." Aurel hung up her phone and immediately ran to Bela's room.

"Dum." Aurel banged on Bela's bedroom door.

The door of Bela's room opened showing Bela's flat face.

"There's bad news." Aurel shed tears. It made Bela wonder.
