With doubt and consideration, finally the house guard alias security at the front gate allowed the man who claimed to be named Ricko was in.
Still with a little staggering steps due to local jetlag due to a long trip by bus from Surabaya to Jakarta, Ricko entered the yard of the house accompanied by security. Ricko looked around. Staring in awe, the multilevel luxury building as if still can't believe Bella the girl simply lives here.
“Mas, just knocked on the door,” said security taught the guest a good and correct visiting tutorial after seeing Ricko who was just dumb.
“I want to go back to the security post, fearing that there is bad luck,” continued security half insinuated the guest of his employer who came in the morning blind. Even the rooster alone, has not gone out to make a living.
“Good, Bang,” said Ricko casually. Still carrying a backpack that looks heavy and fully loaded in it.
Tok .. tok.
The third knock, the majestic and dashing door opened. Looks like a 30-something home assistant appeared behind the door with her mouth agape, barely believing.
“Morning, Ma'am,” greet Ricko, smile as sweetly as possible. Hoping that his smile that was not eaten at that time could escape, waltzing into the house.
“Again, Mas Handsome,” greet Bara's long-sentenced domestic assistant, winking her eyes many times.
“Mbaknya eye pain,” Inner Ricko.
Ricko was worried to see the look on his face ready to tease the assistant. After mastering the situation, the handsome guest opened his voice.
“Mbak, Bell is there?” ricko asked, abruptly stopping the maid's blink of an eye for a moment.
Ma'am ma'am was instantly shocked, retreating regularly unwilling to expect more. The handsome man in front of him was the master's guest. How dare he who is an ordinary maid seduces the guest of the Lady of the house.
“Case, Mas.”
“Before I call Mrs Bella,” she continued seriously. Hurry in, leaving the guest who forgot to sit down. Surti is heartbroken.
It didn't take long, Bella appeared from inside with a pale face. Holding Issabell who does not want to be left alone in the room.
“Kak Ricko?” greeting Bella, hesitant and disbelieving to see her guest then let Ricko sit down.
“Bell, how are you?” ricko asked smilingly looking at the heart of the adoration he had barely met in college.
“Good. How did you get here, Ricko?” ask Bella astonished.
“Oh, I got your address from Rissa,” said Ricko with a break. Staring at the little girl who tightly gripped Bella's hand. His eyes are sharp and look dislike.
How Issabell could have liked Ricko. The little girl was pampering and joking with her mommy when the maid knocked on the door and messed up her fun.
“Kak Rissa? How can?” bella asked in surprise, sitting in front of Ricko. The world turned back, if not quickly sitting down, it could have immediately collapsed.
“Rissa in Surabaya. I met Rissa a couple of times.”
“Hah!” Bella surprised. Not expecting for a month his brother disappeared, it turned out to be in Surabaya, his homeland.
Now change the astonished Ricko. How these two siblings didn't exchange news. Hasn't Rissa been almost a month back to Surabaya.
“I'm also surprised, I haven't seen Rissa in a long time. And when I asked you how you were doing, Rissa gave me this address. And told me to just follow,” Ricko's story innocently.
Bella is shocked to return with Ricko. Why did the brother tell Ricko to follow him to Jakarta. They have no relationship.
“Kak Ricko, seriously want to work in Jakarta?” ask Bella. That's what occurred in his brain over Ricko's intention to Jakarta. He still vividly remembers, Ricko's phone call three weeks ago, telling him about the man's intention to pit his fate in the capital.
Ricko nodded. His goal is to Jakarta to pit his fate, besides that he is also willing to pursue his love for Bella. While in Surabaya, Rissa told a lot about her sister and it added to Ricko's belief to approach Bella. Although she had previously dated Rissa, but this time she seriously wanted to be in a relationship with Bella.
“Kak Ricko, where to stay?” ask Bella again.
“I just got to Jakarta, so look for you, Bell. I've sent a message on your phone, but you haven't read it from last night,” Ricko's story back.
Bella has not been feeling well for a few days. So do not focus on the phone that is still stored in his bag.
“Sorry, I haven't seen it yet, Brother,” said Bella.
“Oh yes ... Ricko wants to drink what?” ask Bella.
“No need, Bell. I just asked for company looking for indekos only. I don't understand Jakarta yet. Can?” ask Ricko.
His relationship with Bella in Surabaya was close. Talked and met almost every day, every Bella to campus.
Bella was silent, weighing what she should do. It doesn't feel right with his status now going alone with Ricko. Even accepting Ricko in her living room alone, there was guilt on her husband.
"I'm sorry, sister .. I can't" Bella said.
Bella refused, looking at her daughter Issabell who was now sitting sweetly on her lap.
"I'm sorry, Brother Ricko, I've been neg ... kah ...."
Ricko did not hear Bella's sentence until it was finished, the appearance of a dashing figure who had suddenly stood at the door, staring intently at the two, surprising Ricko and Bella.
"Mas" said Bella, as her gaze met her husband's horrible gaze.
"Daddy," call Issabell, jump down from his lap and scatter, hugging the two legs of Bara glued in the middle of the door.
"Darling, please bring our daughter inside" Bara ordered, picking up Issabell, handing her over to Bella.
Ricko was surprised, there was a bad taste because it was too early to visit. He did not know who the man who suddenly appeared in the middle of the door.
However, hearing Bara's call to Bella, it seems that this man is not a random person. Ricko's heart immediately skipped a beat, as Bara's rough footsteps drew closer. His heart is beating.
"Mas, sorry," whispered Bella, while taking over Issabell from Bara's sling.
"Lake Bell!" the Bara command is slightly softened.
"Mas, Ricko doesn't know anything about our relationship. I haven't been able to tell you a story yet" explains Bella, trying to hold Bara back from getting angry and fighting with her guests.
"Come in now Bell!" the order once again. More hard and emphasis.
After confirming Bella and Issabell had entered the house, Bara turned her eyes to Ricko. Sharp and intimidating.
"Morning, sir," said Ricko, extending his hand. Trying to keep his politeness. Although he did not know clearly who the man who stood upright in front of him, but they had met in Surabaya, when Bella came to the cafe, taking care of the process of moving her college to Jakarta.
"Morning ...." Bara received Ricko's hand.
For a long time he wanted to go head-to-head with Ricko, but that intention was undone after he returned to Jakarta.
However, at this time the man followed his wife to his house. Inevitably, he must introduce himself and his status in front of Ricko.
"Sorry, what's the need for my wife, Bella?" ask Bara.
