In recent months, Bella, nicknamed Arabella Dinara, has been living in a new housing estate with her mother.
For years Bella only lived with her mother, while her father who had divorced her lived in another city.
In this new residence, both Bella and her mother hope to live in peace and comfort. Remembering in the previous residence they have always been the subject of gossip of the people around him.
The status of the mother who is single parent is sometimes seen as one eye. Being friendly is said to be flirtatious, being ordinary is said to be arrogant.
Bella also did not escape the gossip material because her busy college while working makes Bella sometimes have to go home at night.
The most Bella expected of this move is Bella wants to eliminate the traces of someone who until now still faithfully reigns in her heart.
A person she had hoped to become a mooring of her heart but the harsh reality wiped out all hope.
While still in their former residence, the person still often looks for it and Bella as much as possible avoids. Bella thinks the more she moves away, the less there is.
But the heart is still the heart sometimes not in line with the mind, the more trying to forget the more always remembered. Bella returns to hope that over time, the feeling in her heart will fade and disappear forever.
In her new home, Bella will start a new life and fill her day with lots of new memories.
The housing where they live today is not large, only consists of more fibers of the house. Its location on the outskirts of the city, should make life here more quiet and comfortable but here....
Like this morning and early in the morning, when Kang Maman, a traveling greengrocer, who always felt the most handsome among mothers and art mbak-mbak who was crowding his vegetable cart, was, patiently serving among her many babbles that sometimes make her confused. They actually want to shop or just talk.
"Kang Maman, how much beef?" ask the red-clothed mother.
"120thousandth Bu Ratih" replied Kang Maman.
"That's very expensive" protested Mrs Ratih.
"Yes Kang Maman is very expensive, last week is still 80 thousand," the teary-eyed mother commented, maybe she also intends to buy the meat.
"Okay, Miss Mar has not been able to pay attention, the capital alone is more than that," said Kang Maman.
"Kang, yesterday I bought on Super**** only 100 thousand, supermarket that is," the fat mom next to Mrs Ratih also spoke up.
"There is nothing more or ma'am if I sell that much, which I have a number," explained Kang Maman patiently.
"So how about Bu Ratih, Bu Mar, Bu Dian, how many kilos of meat?" kang Maman asked, hoping that these mothers would finish their shopping and end their protest sessions immediately.
The rising sun made some buyers look impatient. Likewise with Bella who had tried to be patient in the queue.
"No Kang, I just buy this," said Mrs Ratih as she handed over 2 kale ties and a pot of tempeh.
Oh check the price, Bella.
Even with Bu Mar and Bu Dian, the meat that was asked was not in his shopping.
Well, it has made people wait in line for long, bought no, complained Bella in her heart.
After finishing shopping, the three mothers not immediately passed to their respective homes but slightly pulled over and docked to continue the conversation this morning.
"Know not the mothers?" Mrs Ratih started their chat show with a voice that was either intentionally or not heard enough to the ears of Bella and the people around them.
"Apaan Ma'am," enthusiastically Bu Mar replied.
And the ghibah event continued, peeling all about Lidya and her life, various assumptions they expressed. Some people were seen listening to this useless chat.
Bella tried to ignore everything that was heard but her hearing could not resist all this information that was not necessarily true.
Pity that girl, made into a material of ghibahan, pity also his family, inner Bella.
"Kang Maman, this is Bella's groceries, so how much is it?" bella asked after collecting her groceries.
"Bent on Neng Bella," immediately Kang Maman counted.
"Cow meat about 120 thousand, carrots and chickpeas 5 thousand, red onion 5 thousand, this is it Neng, there's more?" tanyanya.
For a moment Bella thought, trying to remember what to buy.
"That's it Kang" replied Bella confidently.
"Everything is 130th Thousand Neng" said Kang Maman, handing over Bella's grocery slack.
Bella accepted it and handed over 130 grand.
"Hatur nohun Neng, a lot of sustenance yes," thanks were accompanied by a prayer from Kang Maman.
"Sami-sami Kang, let's mothers, Bella first yes," said Bella as she left the place.
Before reaching her house which is located only 10 to 15 meters from the location of Kang Maman, Bella remembered something. Coconut, yes Bella forgot to buy coconuts, the address of her parents' nagging if you go home without coconuts. Immediately he turned his body towards Kang Maman's wagon.
Just a few steps, heard the trio of ghibah just mention his name in their fun chat.
"Eh Bella's mother does the job, she's a widow, like she's never seen go-go-go," said Bu Dian's voice.
"I don't know, but said the divorcee of her mother Bella, be careful that her husband seduced her," replied Bu Mar.
"But like a lot of money he, just look at his house, not to mention clothes as well as accessories, expensive items anyway," said Bu Dian again.
"It seems the most expensive kw goods," Mrs Ratih also responded.
"What is a mistress now?" the chatter that Bu Mar added made what Bella heard even more unpleasant.
"So then the Bella said he went to college, how to go home the night continues, which is shuffling," said Bu Ratih increasingly aggravate the taste of their chatter in Bella's ears.
Hot ears are hot hearted Bella, very much want her to land the flip-flops she wears to the mouths of the lemes.
"Girls like her, want to look good but no ability, most night work that yes-yes," recused Bu Mar.
"What girl is Ma'am?" bu Ratih said among the laughter mocking him.
Oh God, just add lemes the mouths of these mothers, the hotter the heart of Bella. Really want to feel the sweep of flip-flops like them, Inner Bella.
What Bella and her mother used to experience seems like it will repeat itself here, in a new home, which they previously hoped would be a quiet place to start their new life.
With clenched hands and accelerated steps, Bella erodes the distance between herself and the growing trio of grills in their conversation.
