"You have a boy friend at school." Bella turned her head while swallowing her food quickly.
"Nothing." Bella answered briefly. He grabbed the white water and gulped it down.
"Sadi Sari and Erin came with the boys and brought the car. He's wearing a uniform like you."
"Sari and Erin? Car carrying? I don't know." Bella answered, because she did not know the boy Bastian meant.
"It wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't your friend he came to the house."
Damnit damnit!! Why Erin and Sari didn't tell the story.. Who does Kak Bas mean?
"My friends are only Erin and Sari, the rest just confess. I can't believe it already. For sure I've never been friends with a man."
"In the pastry shop, at home, two people have greeted you."
"It's just knowing Kak. I remember your rules and I don't have a taste for them either." Bella answered, raising her voice." They're just a bunch of kids." Bastian took a deep breath and put down his spoon. His hands fold and then rest on the dining table and look at Bella sharply.
"What do you deserve?" Daniel chuckled at the debate before him." Look at yourself, sir. He's hard to manage like this. I just don't want him to be free to hang out until he falls into a free association." Imbunya.
"Bella beautiful. There are many who like." Daniel chimed in.
"I don't like Sis. I'm serious about saying that I don't like seeing kids."
"Gosh.." Bastian's mumbling breathed a heavy sigh." You don't realize you're still a kid?" Bella pursed her lips and closed the lunchbox.
"Conscious.."
"Then? I was just trying to remind you of Bella. Don't be fooled by men's seduction." Bastian's words reminded him of the money at the ATM Stefan stole.
Though I am not easily tempted but can still be deceived.. Bastian's brother is already very unfriendly. If I had spoken honestly with old sister Bastian, maybe she would still forgive me but now? Brother Bas has turned evil. I don't know how to...
"It's for your own good, Bella." Bella's residence, makes Daniel feel sorry. However, he also did not want to interfere too much in Bastian's affairs because what Bastian said was true.
"Yes I know. I don't intend to do that either." Reply Bella lirih. He stood up and undoed the intention to eat the chicken again. The memory of two billion dollars made his appetite disappear.
"Where are you going?"
"home."
"Why not spend it?" Asked Bastian who also felt unbearable.
"Suddenly full. Excuse me, Brother Daniel." Bella nodded for a while then walked away with a troubled mind.
"His servant wears a uniform but looks mature. I don't want anything to happen to her but she always misinterprets everything." Bastian murmured who also lost his appetite.
"He was here?"
"Hm.. With his two best friends."
"Maybe it's just the boys who like Bella."
"Come, sir." Bastian leaned his back to control his feelings. He did not want to feel depressed until his heart function stopped.
I need to get well soon.. In order to get closer to Bella and find out how her daily life. Boy but looks mature.. Daniel also stopped eating and thought of something that was getting crazy. Not only Bastian, I also do not want Bella to be close to other men..
"If I suddenly die. Do you want to marry my sister?" Daniel looked quickly at that.
"You mean?"
"I'm sure Mr. Daniel is the right man for Bella, my sister. He is still childish sir but, I really do not know who to leave him to if my age is no longer long. My health has been very disturbed and what is burdensome to me is my sister, Bella. I'm sure Bella will be an adult later.." The worst nightmare that Bastian fears is, when he leaves Bella who still needs attention and direction to live life.
"You'll live longer Bas. Don't keep saying that." Daniel is trying to give encouragement even though it cannot be denied if he is very happy to hear a statement from Bastian.
"Sir Daniel knows, right? My heart disease is late stage. How can my age last long." Answer Bastian weakly." Maybe Bella's not the woman Mr. Daniel dreams of, but I'm sure she could be a great woman later." Imbuh Bastian tried to sulk Daniel. He thought that Daniel must have objected to his wishes.
"It feels weird, Bas, but right from the start. I really like Bella." Bastian returned Daniel's gaze with a smile. There was a sense of relief when she heard the fact that Daniel liked her sister Bella.
I can go quietly after this...
*************
The next day... Unlike usual, Bastian wakes Bella up to go to school. Since returning from Daniel's house until now, Bella was more silent and did not protest much so that it made Bastian's mind become confused.
"Dance..." Erin and Sari's voice called out to the sound of a knock.
Bella takes the school bag and puts it on her neck. He walked out along with Bastian out of his room.
"I'll drop off the school."
"Hm.. I'm waiting downstairs." Bastian took a deep breath, hearing Bella's indifferent answer.
"I'm going down too." Bastian walks with Bella. When the door opened, Erin and Sari were already sitting on the terrace. Erin pulled Bella's arm quickly and whispered.
"Where is Brother Daniel.." Bastian heard that, even though Erin said it out loud.
"Where?"
"Come here." Erin dragged Bella gently and pointed towards Daniel who was learning to walk accompanied by Lucas." Which one is Bella?" Ask Erin lirih. Sari followed the two and stood beside Bella.
Basic children.. It's certain Mr. Daniel stole their attention. He still deserves to be a student...
"The sick one.." Answer Bella slowly.
"Well... Gee whiz... Lucky you. She looks like Eun Wo Oppa."
"Yes. Resembled... I can't believe she's 28."
"Indeed 28 years." Bella Sahut.
"So school or not." The three turned their bodies towards Bastian.
"Hehe Kak Bas. Sorry Brother." Erin replied smiling strangely while Bella was just silent as she was still thinking about the ATM money issue.
Bastian who thinks that Bella is still angry, makes her feelings unsettled. Several breaths blew when he saw Bella was silent along the way.
I'm so sorry, honey.. Bella's attitude certainly makes Bastian feel sick to affect his heart function that began to feel pain.
"Wait for Bella." Bastian grabs Bella's soft arm and tells her two friends to go down first.
"What's up, brother?" Ask Bella Iirih.
"Are you angry with me?"
"No." Bella answered briefly.
"I did it for your own good."
"Because I love you."
"Hm yes. I'm in first, afraid it's too late." Bella releases Bastian's handrails without looking at Bastian's face, which begins to sweat coldly.
Bastian still had time to look at Bella who walked into the school gate, before finally the car drove slowly away from the school area.
Usually, the pain will disappear when Bastian adjusts his breathing as he does now. But this time, the intense pain was getting felt like hitting his heart. Bastian's breathing panted, with his left hand clutching his chest while his right hand held the steering wheel. His gaze slowly blurred so Bastian decided to marginalize the car. But unfortunately, a fast truck hit Bastian's car until it rolled several times.
Along with that incident, Bella who walked casually, suddenly fell as if tripping over something even though she was walking on a flat floor.
"Be careful.." Bella looked up at Kenan who reached out to her.
"I can." Bella rushes to her feet and does not welcome Kenan's hand.
"I went to your house yesterday and your brother kicked me out." Bella stared at Kenan sharply as she slashed her dirty skirt.
"Oh so you!!" Cirps Bella ketus." Because of what you did, Brother Bas scolded me! You thought I was messing around when I told you my brother was fierce!!" Kenan smiled at Bella's anger.
"I never said that. I trust Bella and I feel, I'm getting challenged to get you."
"Basic crazy!!" Bella continues her steps towards class, followed by Kenan. While from behind the tree, Fransisca stared at the two sharply, especially at Bella.
Bella again!!! Yesterday Samuel now Kenan!! He really wants to find trouble with me!! Watch out for you Bella!!! Bump Fransisca in the heart and then leave because the bell sign has rung.
************
Lucas accompanied Daniel today because Mr. Salim could not go straight home. The person who was told to take care of the plantation, suddenly sick so that Mr. Salim was forced to stay.
Lucas stood next to Daniel, who was learning to walk without a cane. The two were shocked by the arrival of a policeman who was standing in front of Bella's house, half shouting and saying..
"Excuse me..."
"Sir..." Call Daniel and wave to make the man in the police uniform walk into Daniel's yard." No one's home at this hour, sir. The occupants are working." Answer Daniel kindly.
"Is this Mr. Bastian's house." The police showed an identifying mark that there was a little blood spotting, making Daniel feel immediately unpleasant.
"True sir." Daniel put on a panicked face and could guess what was going on with Bastian.
"Bastian's brother was in an accident and now his body is in the Mother Earth hospital." Daniel widened his eyes hearing that. He doesn't know if Bastian's going to leave so soon." We had trouble contacting his family because his phone was destroyed." A long breath sounded.
"That means Bastian's dead?" Ask Daniel lirih.
"Truly Sir. The hospital awaits the family's arrival to retrieve the body and the belongings left behind."
Daniel sends Lucas to take care of Bastian's body. Daniel knew, if for sure all Bastian's friends from the Dans group would come to serve. And there will be a possibility that Marko will also come because Bastian is an important person in the company. Life insurance that is in the company, will automatically notify the company if there is one employee who died so, even though Bastian's phone was destroyed. All his associates will know by themselves. Daniel does not want to, Marko knows of its existence now even though Daniel really wants to accompany Bella on her day of mourning.
***********
Lucas just arrived at Bella's school, coinciding with a break. After getting permission from the school security guard, Lucas heads to the principal's room to ask permission to pick up Bella. The headmaster happily escorted Lucas to the cafeteria, because according to his friends' reports, Bella was there.
The whole cafeteria was boisterous, welcoming the arrival of Lucas who looked quite handsome. Moreover, the neat clothes that are always in wear, make it look like a young master.
"Sister Lucas?" Mumbled Bella stood up with a panicked face.
"Isn't he a friend of Daniel's." Sahut Erin's.
"Hmmm.." Bella's feeling suddenly felt bad, seeing Lucas walking towards her with the headmaster.
"Bella you can go home." The headmaster said with a smile.
"What's up, brother?"
"none. We go home first." Lucas embraced Bella's shoulders tightly, as if strengthening.
"My dad's still in class." Bella said. He felt a bad feeling when Lucas' hand touched him.
"Let your friend bring it. Thank you for your cooperation sir."
"Yes are the same."
"I'll go home first." Bella waved for a moment with teary eyes.
"Be careful Bella." Erin replied still standing." What's up, sir?" Erin asked in curiosity.
"Bella's sister is dead." Erin widened her eyes as well as Sari. The two stared fixedly at Bella's walking back with teary eyes.
"Dance..." Sari muttered directly to his feet." I'm skipping today sir." Sari immediately walked away without waiting for the principal's approval.
"I am also Sir."
"You're third grade." The headmaster's protest.
"Bella has no one. He'll need us, I beg you sir." Erin replied that she began to shed tears making the headmaster feel pity.
"Yes, you're gone."
"Thank you, sir.." Erin nodded for a moment, then went towards her class and picked up Bella's bag.
Kenan, who doesn't know about what happened to Bella, clenches his hand tightly when he sees Bella getting into a luxury car with Lucas.
In the car, Bella is downcast and tries to control her worries in order to ask Lucas.
"What happened, brother?" Bella asked softly, her tears had even fallen to make Lucas even less willing to say it.
"There's me, Mr. Daniel and Mr. Salim so don't feel alone." Lucas replied smiling.
"What happened to Bastian." Lucas just kept quiet as if he hadn't heard the question Bella was asking. Until when he arrived in front of the house, two yellow flags were installed on both sides of the gate." No.." Bella lirih. He didn't come down when Lucas stopped two minutes ago.
"Your brother is waiting for you."
"This is the most evil thing Brother Bastian has ever done to me!!" Lucas took a deep breath, seeing Bella start crying sobbing made him feel even more sorry. Moreover, Bastian is the only family left so, he does not blame Bella if maybe the sadness of Bella a little excessive.
"You should go down Bella, so that your brother's body can be buried immediately. I'm helping okay." Lucas got off and opened the car door for Bella. She reached out and with a trembling hand, Bella welcomed the helping hand.
With a close embrace, Lucas led Bella to enter the house that was filled with neighbors who were sitting. His legs suddenly limp so that Lucas increasingly tighten his embrace.
"Please say goodbye so you won't regret it." Lucas' whisper sits Bella right next to Bastian's head covered in white cloth. Tears continued to flow at the corner of Bella's eyes even though she had not yet cried. The tremor of his hand grew stronger as his little fingers began to touch the white cloth of the head covering.
Slowly, Bella lowered the white cloth and saw the look of Bastian's pale face with a wound on her forehead. Bella took a deep breath, trying to strengthen her heart so that she could deliver her final words to Bastian. His head lowered, his lips closed to Bastian's ears while whispering.
"Send my regards to Papa and Mama.. You are lucky to meet them first.. I'm sorry, sister, the money I lost, I haven't had time to say that but you're gone. I'm sincere, go quietly. I love you." One kiss Bella gave as a farewell greeting. But when Bella again raised her head, suddenly she screamed hysterically and unconscious.
