With a little awkwardness, Bella ate the dish in front of her. Stefan's non-switching eyes made him feel nervous to death.
The feeling of my face is ordinary.. Inner Bella.
This was the first time he felt something like this. That's because, Bella's taste is the men who are more mature than her. He had no taste in seeing boys his age. According to Bella's view, men of her age look unattractive in her eyes.
Bella estimates that Stefan is 21 or 22 years old. That's according to his criteria, not too old and not too young, like Bastian's age.
It seems to be the first time she has walked with a man...
Stefan is experienced in trapping his prey. Can change attitudes like anything, adjusting the dose of women who are the target.
"What class are you in, Bella?" Tanya Stefan opened the conversation. Bella's time is too short to make it have to ensnare Bella's heart quickly.
"Three sisters, soon the test." He answered trying not to be nervous but looking at his face still looks awkward.
"What are your plans after graduation?"
"Lecture."
"What if I marry you? No need to go to college because you're a woman." Bella swallowed her food slowly while looking at Stefan.
"Haha Brother could have." The answer is increasingly wrong behavior with a reddened face.
"Isn't the nature of the woman being a mother, so what college is for." Bella nodded while looking down.
"Yes, but I still want to go to college."
"Hm I agree." Bella looked back at Stefan.
"I didn't ask your consent, brother."
"But I really don't care if you go to college after marriage."
"Can we change the topic." Bella was unable to feel the intense tremors that were happening in her heart.
"I'm serious Bella. I want to have that relationship with you..."
Those words always ring in Bella's ears after her brief meeting with Stefan this afternoon. He did not give any answer but Stefan said he would wait for him.
"What did he say Bell? Why are you so confused." Ask Sari to know.
"He wants to be serious with me." Erin chuckled while Sari smiled.
"Well playboy's moves Bell hehe." Sahut Erin guesses.
"He's a grown man. Where it might lie." Sari's reply did not accept Erin's words.
"Hm is 23 years old. His attitude is so mature and sweet."
"Then what?" Sari asked enthusiastically while Erin only listened.
"He's a young entrepreneur."
"Don't be fooled by Bella." Erin again
"See what? He even knows we're still in school."
"Such a thing exists only in the soap opera hehe." Bella was speechless to hear the small debate of her two friends with an occasional smile staring out the angkot window. The words of his two friends were both true. Although Bella is comfortable with Stefan but Erin says, she must be vigilant.
The three got down in the alley and walked together and then came back to stop right in front of Bella's house.
"Where's Bell?" Erin asked looking at Daniel's house.
"I told you that Daniel was sick. He's not going out of the house. If you want to see, pretend you're visiting." Answer Bella origin.
"I'm also curious about Bell."
"His age is 28 but he still looks younger even more handsome than the boys in our school who look like cute guys." Erin glanced lazily towards Bella.
"You're the weird one. That handsome Kenan you rejected."
"Handsome if I sit on the bench of Junior High." Bella chuckles while Erin and Sari look at each other while taking a deep breath." Yes, I'm home. Later the jailer came and honked like a fried baker." Sari looked back at Daniel's house.
"If there is a duty from Mr. Salim, take us."
"Hm okay."
"See you tomorrow Bell." Bella waved a hand for a while then walked to open the gate. Just as he was about to close it back, Mr. Salim's voice greeted.
"Son Bella." Bella looked over and smiled.
"Eh Father. What's the matter, sir?"
"Look at Bell. Can you ask for help?"
"Can Sir. What'sthat?"
"Tomorrow Father there is a need in the area of origin of the Father. While the situation of the Father's son is like that. Can you accompany Daniel day and night? He's better off even though you're still worried about leaving him alone." Bella smiled strangely because she was still thinking about Daniel. Along with that, came Bastian's car which went straight into the trunk. He came down and approached Salim and Bella.
Ah My dear brother, he will definitely tell me to take on a task that could take away my life...
"Is there a problem, sir?" Ask Bastian kindly. His hands clasped Bella's shoulders tightly while smiling politely at Mr. Salim.
"There is no Son. I just asked for help tomorrow afternoon. Look, Mr. there needs to be to the area of origin of Mr. The need cannot be represented, if at the deputy fear of the Father can not ration of fertilizer for the care of the plantation Mr. So..."
"Bella is ready sir." Sahut Bastian knows what Mr. Salim said. Bella pinched Bastian's side of the stomach hard." Agg!!!" Pekik Bastian shocked.
"Sister ihhh.." His grunts objected to the task of Bastian.
"Rather than you wandering around unclear, wouldn't you better hone your ability to take care of the house." Mr. Salim smiled warmly to see the brother and sister debate in front of him.
"I never take care of sick people." Answer slowly.
"Just take a drink and eat Nak Bell. The wound is already a little dry so the bandages, you can replace it at night." Sahut Pak Salim chimed.
"Dear it."
"Really Sir?" Bella asked again.
"Yes. Sorry, son, troublesome." Bella looks towards Bastian who is smiling while giving the code to Bella.
"Yes, sir. Hours one to five because after that let Kak Bas take care."
"It's up to you, son. You're asking for help."
"Yes sir is well. Don't hesitate to ask for help." Bastian answered so respect Mr. Salim who is the father of Daniel.
"Thank you, son. You go in first."
"Yes, sir, come." After Mr. Salim leaves, Bastian leads Nara to enter.
"About the former Boss, so you told me to look after him." Groused Bella.
"not ex. He's still my boss." Bastian took the key out of his pants pocket and opened the door.
"Yes, my brother is taking care of me." Bella breaks away from Bastian's embrace.
"You're a woman. It's as an exercise and a lesson for you."
"Continue saying that! Just always! Am I a little immature?" Bastian smiled looking at the annoyed face of Bella who was sitting on the living room sofa.
"No adult likes to complain like you do. And that means you're not an adult." Bella looked over with sharp eyes.
"Of course I lost. You should have given up on me, brother. Am I not your sister?"
"I don't accept protestants. Take the ingredients in the back seat of the car and cook something for my friend who will visit." Bella stood up to Bastian with pursed lips.
"I don't want to."
"Must do."
"My friend's your friend too."
"Where is it?" Answer Bella ketus.
"Remember Mom's last message, right?" Bella immediately fell silent while bowing to remember that. The last words of the mother are still very much remembered until now." Can't argue with your brother here hehe.." Bastian rubbed the top of Bella's head gently then climbed the stairs.
"Mama doesn't mean this."
"I didn't hear." Bastian covered both ears with his hand." If defiant means you don't obey what Mama's will is." Bella grunts annoyed. Staring at Bastian who was starting to disappear from his sight. He could not resist if Bastian had reminded him of his promise to his late mother.
**************
"Dad told Bella to take care of you tomorrow." Said Mr. Salim sitting next to Daniel.
"Pity him Well." Although Daniel said that, he was so happy to hear that a beautiful smile framed his face.
"He refused, but his brother forced him." Daniel smiled as he took a deep breath. Mr. Salim smiled as he read Daniel's unusual happy face.
Just this time I saw that beautiful smile... Is my son interested in Bella? Mr. Salim knew Daniel as a good and obedient son. However, for a lifetime. He had just seen Daniel's smile like now even though Daniel was indeed a smiley figure.
His heart was so soft and always solved the problem in a cold way. That trait is what might make him achieve everything quickly.
"I can do everything myself Well. A girl of Bella's age would want to be free to enjoy her youth."
"Yes. But I think I want him to take care of you." Daniel turned to face Mr. Salim who was smiling towards him." You like her?" Ask Mr. Salim suddenly.
"Where might he want me Dad. I even deserve to be his omnya." Daniel's answer makes Mr. Salim sure if there is interest in Daniel figure Bella.
"Love does not look at age. If you're interested, try first to know what the results are like." Daniel smiled at the words of his father.
What can? I'm not sure Bella would be interested in an old man like me. But... I dreamt about it and it feels amazingly beautiful.. I'm starting to miss her and want to see her pretty face now...
************
Bella stared in wonder at Bastian who was putting some of his cooking on the bushel. He doesn't understand, either, if Bastian tells him to cook a lot in order to share it with Mr. Salim.
"Take this to Mr. Salim." Pinta Bastian thrusts Bella's front row.
"Sir Salim? Which is enough if it's shared with your friend."
"Hehe... I lie. If you don't lie you won't cook more." Bella pursed her lips. He should have realized that Bastian had never invited his friend to play at home.
"Oh own ear." Bella is leaving but Bastian is preventing her.
"Make good should not be half-and-half. I've got a little work done so please deliver and I'll pack your favorite chicken chrysanthemum." Bella smiled then grabbed the handle quickly.
"Promise?"
"Yes promise."
"Good." Bastian's hand prevented him.
"Wait..."
"Otherwise Brother?"
"Before I go home. You better stay in their house first."
"Why is that?" Bella's protest again.
"Include Mr. Daniel first so that your work tomorrow goes well."
"Sweet Sister."
"If protest doesn't buy it." Bella took a deep breath and looked at the lazy Bastian.
If it wasn't for the chicken... I don't want to do this..
"Yes okay."
"Let's pick ya up."
"Hmmm..." Bella stepped out and Bastian was still staring at her from behind.
I don't understand why I'm doing this either? The fear of death haunted me more and more. At least? If death comes suddenly like what happened to Mama, there is someone who can replace me as your brother...
Bastian understood very well the subtleties of Daniel's nature even though he rarely met face to face. All employees praised Daniel's gentle and humble nature behind his firm decision-making for his company. And the most important thing for Bastian is. Daniel is not easily attracted to women so Bastian feels safe if Bella can get closer to Daniel.
***********
A few minutes Bella stood in front of the door, her hands raised rapidly after the shadow of the chrispy chicken flashed. He knocked on Mr. Salim's door several times until it opened and revealed Mr. Salim's shady face.
Just talked about...
"Sorry to disturb you sir. Em, Brother Bas told me to stay here for a while because he's leaving and this..." Pouring rantang." For dinner." Mr. Salim immediately accepted the bushel with pleasure.
"Come on Bella's son." Pinta Pak Salim.
"Thank you Sir. Sorry to interrupt the nights. You have to get used to Kak Bas who sometimes requests strange." Mr. Salim closed the door and turned his gaze towards Bella.
"Not bothering, you're happy." Mr. Salim began walking, followed by Bella to the living room and showed Daniel watching television." Daniel's got Bella.." Said Mr. Salim. Daniel looked over and showed a warm smile.
"Hehe doesn't need to be told that, sir." Bella returned Daniel's smile for a moment with a strange look.
"It's okay. Sit Nak Bell."
"Hm good sir." Bella walked slowly and sat quite a distance away from Daniel's seat.
"Hi Bella's.." Greet Daniel Friendly.
"Hi Om's... Sorry I hitchhiked for a while. Em it, Brother Bas is leaving."
"No need to apologize. I'm even happy if someone accompanies me." God was so good that he gave me a chance to meet him before going to bed...
Em so..." My heart... Why does it feel like jumping. It was even worse when I was with Stefan. But Om Daniel... Really handsome...
Bella tries to focus on television with her feet. While Daniel occasionally looked at her with a shady smile.
"Have a girlfriend Bella." Bella looked over quickly and laughed strangely.
"No Brother uh Om... Brother Bas doesn't let me date." Bella turns back because Daniel's smile makes her feel wrong.
"That's great. It would be better if you get married." Bella smiled strangely while Daniel held back his laughter looking at Bella's silly face." I mean, dating isn't good. A lot of negativity than positivity." Imbuh Daniel.
"Yes Om, I have no taste in doing it either."
"Eat first." Mr. Salim Sahut.
"Hm Well."
"Let's Bell."
"I'm here, sir."
"Why?" Ask Mr. Salim while carrying a stick for Daniel.
"Let's eat together." Imbuh Daniel stood with the help of a stick.
"The thing is, I'm tired of kissing my own cooking." Answer slowly.
"Felt you?" Daniel asked again.
"yes Om. That's me cooking." Mr. Salim Salim's smile grew even more, as did Daniel.
I wish she was my son-in-law. The cooking is delicious... Mr. Salim who has tasted first, admitted that Bella's cuisine is very good.
