Hello Bella's

Episode 28: Silence Is The Best Way To React While Angry (1)

Only the sound of Aitch and Ed Sheeran is heard in the type of SUV that Abiyan is driving. They're on their way to Bella's house.

Earlier, Mrs Ratih had forced to go home together with the reason her house was close to Bella but saw Bella's mood was not good, Abiyan refused on the grounds that she wanted to go somewhere else before taking Bella home.

Abiyan also took the initiative to book a taxi online to take Bu Ratih and Saras home.

Both Abiyan and Bella are silent, more precisely Bella is silencing Abiyan.

Bella is upset, ralat is very upset with Abiyan, how not, Abiyan could let Bu Ratih apply arbitrarily to Bella.

Bella was convinced by the loud voice of Bu Ratih that it was impossible for Abiyan not to hear it. Where Abiyan when Bella needed his presence to defend Bella, where Abiyan when Bu Ratih gave the impression as if Bella was not worthy of Abiyan.

Shouldn't Abiyan be on Bella's side. Explain to Madam Ratih why Abiyan chose Bella instead of choosing Saras, the son of the all-perfect Ratih Bu who seemed to be proffered to Abiyan.

"Cock silence, toothache yes," joked Abiyan trying to melt the atmosphere.

Since at his house Bella avoids Abiyan continuously, every Abiyan approached always there is a reason Bella to go from his side.

Speak iron once, when asked only answer with a short answer, when spoken to just pay attention, occasionally smile to just respond.

"Hmmm..," just that sounds.

Abiyan glanced at Bella for a bit then focused back towards the front.

"What's going on?" ask Abiyan. "Are you angry with Brother?"

"Nope," Bella answered briefly, densely and indistinctly.

"Come to the coffee shop first?" tawar Abiyan's.

"Whatever."

Abiyan sighed. He was sure that his girl was angry. The answer is no and it is enough to be an indication that Bella is badmood.

Looks like they need to talk before they get to Bella's house. Delaying solving a problem will only add to the new problem.

Abiyan takes Bella to one of the nearby coffee shops. After parking the car, they got down and walked towards the entrance.

Usually Bella let Abiyan open the car door for her but this time Bella chose to get out of the car first before Abiyan could open the door for her.

Abiyan chose a seat in the corner of this coffee shop room. The atmosphere of coffee that is not crowded is quite comfortable to talk from heart to heart.

"What message do you want?" ask Abiyan.

"So much Brother." Still faithful to the short answers Bella answered.

Abiyan let out her breath again. Bella was really mad at him but there was at least some progress. If from earlier Bella's answer always consisted of one word now into two words.

Then Abiyan ordered an espresso for herself and a latte macchiato for Bella. For the meal, Abiyan ordered chicken sandwiches and caramel cakes.

After their order was served, Abiyan began to drink his coffee. While Bella is still loyal to her silent actions.

"Who would like to order again?" ask Abiyan.

"No."

"It seems right, said the man," said Abiyan.

Bella looked at Abiyan with a gaze asking what was right.

"Being silent is a great way to let someone know they did something wrong."

Bella just shrugged her shoulders and grabbed her macchiato latte and took a sip slowly.

While being angry Bella tries to always remain silent until her anger subsides. Bella remembers the message of Mother Alya, if you are angry or really angry you should calm down first, do not talk much, to avoid issuing words that might be regretted later.

When anger overwhelms the self it will usually be difficult to control the speech. The words spoken sometimes just come out without thinking about the consequences that might arise due to the words.

For the sake of satisfying the ego, words that should not come out are thrown away. This is what Bella tries to avoid.

So Bella chose to be quiet until her heart was calm and ready to talk.

"Don't apologize."

"For?"

"For all that pissed you off at my parents' house."

"Oh for that."

"Abang heard clearly everything that Aunt Ratih said, not only Brother but also papung heard it."

"Abang knows the words Aunty Ratih was not worth saying."

"We know you must have been really upset earlier."

"Abang think you are disappointed with Brother because Brother seems silent, Brother..."

"Abang is silent, there is no intention to belain Me, Abang outrageous!" finally came out also unek-unek who had previously held Bella in her heart.

"Try if you are Me, compared to others, my mother is criticized in front of many, how does it feel."

"So you know, for Me my father and my mother are the best parents, even if they are not together anymore, they are always there for Me, many good things they do and teach Me."

"I'm sorry that my family is not as perfect as your brother's or Mrs Ratih's."

"If according to Brother's family I don't deserve Brother, it's okay, I'll get away from Brother's life."

"Arabella Dinara, what are you talking about?" a little high tone Abiyan talk enough to make Bella teary.

Abiyan did not accept Bella's thought. Abiyan never bothered about Bella's parents' divorce.

During this time Abiyan can judge for himself even though he comes from a family that is not intact but Bella gets enough attention and affection from both parents.

There must be something lacking in Bella's life, but Abiyan thinks both of Bella's parents are always trying to make their only daughter able to live well and comfortably despite not living together.

Abiyan had met her father Bella several times. In his view, Bella's father is a good man and looks very fond of Bella.

About the reason for the divorce of Bella's father and mother, Abiyan never knew because Bella never told him and Abiyan also never asked

Not that Abiyan did not pay attention to the state of Bella but Abiyan waited for Bella to tell her herself. Abiyan is sure that one day Bella will open up to him and tell him everything without him asking.

Bella is a chatty girl but on personal matters she prefers to keep it to herself.

"I'm sorry, Brother didn't mean to talk to you out loud."

Bella tried to hold back her tears, shifting her eyes out the window.

"Bella, please listen to Brother first."

"Dance..."

Bella still did not respond to Abiyan. Abiyan had seen Bella angry or sulking. It feels like Bella's current anger takes more time to ease her.
