🌹HAPPY READING🌹

After completing their duties, Al and Aska return to the living room where Bella waits.

"Sorry, Bel," said Al.

Bella smiles. "You're just doing your duty to your Lord, Al" Bella smiled.

"What about your religion, Bel?" ask Ask.

"What, As?" bella asked while eating her snacks.

"Are you in a routine worship?" ask Ask.

"Who are you worshipping?" ask Bella.

"To your Lord" said Aska.

"Do we have to believe in God, As?" ask Bella.

"Should, Bel. Because that is your identity as a servant" said Al to answer Bella's question.

Bella nodded. "Then why hasn't he met you with your beloved girl, Al?" ask Bella.

"Maybe God has his own plan for me, Bel," replied Al for sure.

Bella just smiled wryly. "Sometimes, a person's speech is not in accordance with the wishes of his heart, Al, As," said Bella.

"For that follow your heart, Bel," said Al.

If I could, I've done it a long time ago, Al. Inner Bella said softly.

Bella just nodded and smiled hearing Al's words. After that they continued their talk about the college period interspersed with jokes and laughter in the living room of Al apartment.

"Yeah, Al. Why don't you ask the detective to help you find your Run?" ask Ask astonished.

"I've done it. But there's no progress. Even I have asked his friend Abi for help to find the whereabouts of Runa," said Al replied.

"What if that Runa doesn't come back Al?" ask Bella.

"That means he's not my soul mate" Al replied briefly.

"Can I change the existence of Runa in your heart, Al?" ask Bella bravely.

Al and Aska choked on their own spit. They looked at Bella who looked serious.

"Haha don't joke, Bel," said Aska trying to melt the atmosphere.

But different from Al who stared fixedly at Bella's eyes. There is seriousness in Bella's view of Al.

"Friendship will be better for our relationship, Bel," says Al. Bella smiled wryly. Al conveyed the rejection very subtly.

Bella looked at Al seriously, but a second later she laughed. "Hahaha, I'm just kidding, Al. The serious face of you two looks very adorable," said Bella meredek Al and Aska.

Al and Aska sighed softly looking at Bella's behavior. "You really surprised me, Bella," Aska rubbed her chest.

"Hahaha, I just want to test Al's loyalty to the girl" Bella said in a laugh.

"You really made us freeze, Bel,* said Al.

"Hahaha, but may I say something, Al?" ask Bella.

Al nodded while drinking his drink.

"If one day you meet the girl, but she's in a different state how, Al?" ask Bella.

"You mean?" ask Al not to understand.

"What if you meet in a state where he is no longer God?" ask Bella.

Al chuckles at Bella's question. "I'm sure he's still the way he used to be, Bel," Al said.

"That means we are not fools" said Al.

Bella smiled wryly in her heart. "That means you don't accept the flaws, Al," Bella said.

"Have you ever heard the term soul mate is a reflection of yourself, Al?" bella asked.

Al nodded. "But I don't think that's the case, Al," asked Bella.

"Do you believe it too, As?" ask Bella to Ask.

"Fifty yes, fifty no" replied Aska.

"Why don't you believe it, Bel?" ask Al.

"Because in my life, I saw the lives of husband and wife like Fir'aun and Asiyah" said Bella.

"You know that story, Bel?" ask Ask.

Bella smiled and nodded. "I've heard the story," replied Bella calmly.

"Oiya, Al, As, I have to go back first. It's too late" said Bella, looking at the watch that was coiled around her wrist.

"Be careful, Bel," said Al and Aska.

Bella nodded and stood up from her seat. After that he walked out of Al's apartment.

"Isn't Bella's behavior a little weird, Al?" ask Aska after Bella's really gone.

Al just shrugged his shoulders answering Aska's question. He did not want to bother with the behavior of his friends.

.....

BRACKET.

A girl closed the door of her apartment a little rough. He leaned against the door holding his chest that felt tight. Her tears flowed without her permission.

"Hiks, why is it so tight, hix," said the girl sitting limp with her back leaning against the door.

"Mother, Runa's chest hurts, Mother. Runa is not strong, hiks," said Runa called her mother.

"She will definitely not be willing to accept Runa, Mother. Pupus is Runa's hope to be happy, Mother, hiks," said Runa pilu.

Yes, Bella is Runa. No one knows Bella's real name is Arabella Aruna Azzahra, as well as Al and Aska. All they know, Bella's name is Arabella, that's all.

Bella has known Al for a long time. From the beginning they met at the college, Runa was convinced that Al was the man she always waited for. Plus Al who always asked for his help and also Aska to come looking for Runa. Runa's confidence grew stronger when he saw his necklace on Al.

Runa ventured to give Al a hint, but the answer he received did not match what he expected.

"Mother, Mother says God is always with us, right? But why is Runa always left tormented like this, Mother, torment. If Runa only lives to be injured, it is better that Runa is not born, Mother. Let Runa curse fate on Runa, Mommy, hiks," said Runa crying bitterly.

"Papa who became Runa's seat left Runa here alone, Mother. Runa was left alone in a strange place, Mother. Please take Runa away with Mother, hiks. Bundaaa," said Runa crying so badly.

The papa that she had hoped for and she loved, left her in the land of people after Runa was ten years old. Her father would only send Runa money to live through his Papa's man. His father always monitored his life, but never appeared. That's what confused Runa.

Runa continued to cry hugging her own knees. Really, life really gave him a very hard ordeal.

Runa stood up and walked towards the display cabinet. He stared at the Qur'an and Sajadah which were neatly located there.

"When will my peace come? Do some people also experience a life full of wounds and tears like me to live life?" muttered Nana stared at the holy book.

With trembling hands, Nana tried to take the prayer rug that was there. But yet Nana's hand touched it, the resolute voice of one stopped her movement.

"Don't try to break Master's orders, Miss!"
