66. Dinner

The blues music flowed beautifully in the tropical-themed restaurant. Some servants who use traditional Balinese clothes look busy serving the customers who come. Above the restaurant is a VVIP room. The glass-walled room was so luxurious. Next to the table facing the beach there is a piano that is being played by a pianist from Europe. It was there that Pongki and his family sat down for their last dinner in Bali.

Typhoon sits in front of Pongki and Berta, while Bella sits right next to Typhoon. Seafood with a wide variety of preparations, filled their tables. Yes, this room is not like a VVIP room in general. Here, all dishes are taken out and served on the VVIP customer's table, according to the number of customers available, and customers are free to eat whatever they want. That is why, this place is paid for by customers who choose to sit in a VVIP room.

Pongki stared intently at the Typhoon, during the dinner. Typhoon was groggy, because Pongki constantly stared at him. However, Typhoon still thinks, if Pongki looks at him because Typhoon has been presumptuous to sleep in the room with Bella. Without realizing it, Pongki already knew who he really was.

As for Bella, the girl seemed to be feeling a flower blooming in her heart. He kept glancing at the Typhoon that looked ordinary to him. Berta, he looked like always. His attention to Bella and Typhoon, is still as before. Because Berta does not know who the Typhoon is and what relationship Typhoon with Bella at this time.

After dinner, the dessert was removed after several waiters cleaned their tables. Bella who is good at singing also immediately approached the pianist who was playing her music. Bella asks the pianist to accompany her who wants to present a love song. Actually, the song was for Typhoon. But he said the song would be dedicated to his parents.

Pongki, Berta and Typhoon's applause accompanied Bella's performance by confidently singing an old song titled, Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You, from legendary singer George Benson.

If I had to live my life without you near me..

The days would all be empty..

The nights would seem so long, with you I see forever..

That's the song Bella was singing. The song that has such a deep meaning, is able to make Pongki drown with his own thoughts. He began to think what if he could not spend his old age with Berta.

As for Typhoon, he also felt the song was very touching his heart. How not? What happens when the job ends. Whether Bella will hate herself is the one who imprisoned Pongki, Bella's father.

Nothing's gonna change my love for you...

You have to know by know how much I love you..

The world may change my whole life through but,

Nothing's gonna change my love for you...

Pongki's body trembled, he looked at Berta who was cool following the lyrics of the song that was sung by Bella.

"No, I won't leave you alone. I will not be held back, I will keep my promise to spend my old age with you Berta" Inner Pongki.

"Together, can we talk?"

Berta turned his head and looked at the pale-looking Pongki.

"Speak what?" Tanya Berta with her gentle characteristics.

"Follow me down there now.." Pongki pointed at the balcony of the restaurant. Then he got up from his seat and led Berta to follow him.

Typhoon glanced from the corner of his eyes, as Pongki and Berta moved towards the balcony of the restaurant. However, he only thinks Pongki and Berta are just being alone. Then, he refocused on seeing Bella's performance standing on the small stage in front of him.

If the road ahead is not so easy...

Our love will lead the way for us..

Like a guiding star...

I'll be there for you if you should need me.

"I'll be there for you if you should need me."

The song's lyrics made Typhoon speechless. The song's lyrics are exactly the same as what he told Bella. He will always be there for Bella, whenever Bella needs him. But, is it possible that Bella will find herself later? Of course it won't happen.

Suddenly, the Typhoon felt sad. He knew, his mission would end in 2 x 24. Counting from now on. Because before he left for dinner, Antok had already made sure their mission would end soon with that time span.

"Dance..." Her muttering.

.

On the balcony of the restaurant, there was a breeze blowing. Pongki, who was still holding Berta's hand, stopped his steps right in front of the balcony guardrail. Then, he looked at Berta deeply.

"What's the matter, baby?" The meek and affectionate Berta returned Pongki's gaze with such loving eyes.

"But, out of Bali, we immediately live abroad.... In Spain? A paris? The dutch? Or in Germany?"

"What's wrong? Why so rushed? don't we just want to go for a walk? Then, we stay in our own house and see Bella get married, have children and we become opa and oma. Why should I stay abroad?" Ask Berta.

Pongki looked worried, he let out a long sigh and clasped Berta's hands together.

"What should I say to Berta?" Inner Pongki.

"Darling..? Why bengong? What's up?"

"No, my plans just changed. I want to live abroad."

Berta looked at Pongki carefully. Then he began to look worried.

"Darling, don't tell me...."

"Ssttt..." Pongki grabbed Berta's body and hugged him tightly.

Berta was flabbergasted, what he had been afraid would finally happen.

"Tell me, what happened?" Urge Berta, while releasing both hands Pongki who was holding his body.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure everything's okay. As long as you want to live abroad with me."

"Say Pongki!"

"Stttttt...!" Pongki placed his index finger on Berta's lips.

So loud Berta shouted to Pongki, of course, making Bella who had just finished singing and Typhoon who was still on her bench, turned to look at Pongki and Berta. They looked at Pongki and Berta with wondering gazes.

"I'll tell you at the hotel, now we're back at the hotel huh.." Pongki said, holding Berta's hand to follow him out of the restaurant. While Bella and Typhoon, look confused. They look at each other. Then, they followed Pongki and Berta.

"Mmmm...! Dadddd...!" Call Bella. He and Typhoon ran after Pongki and Berta.

"Bella, daddy and mami have business. You were with Paijo first huh.. But remember, don't go home at night" said Pongki, then he walked away from the restaurant again.

Bella was silent with a confused face. Then, he looked at Typhoon who was looking at Pongki with a serious face.

"Jo... daddy and mami why?" Bella asked as she looked at Typhoon who looked suspicious with Pongki's gestures.

"Joe..." Typhoon shaking, he was like a person who was thinking so complicated.

"Joe!" Bella shakes the Typhoon's arm, until the Typhoon wakes up from her daydream and looks at Bella with a panicked face.

"Ah, yes... why?" The cyclone tried to smile at Bella.

"Ihhh. when I don't hear it... I asked, mommy same daddy why else?"

"Hmmmm, I don't know." Sahut Typhoon.

"May it be no more heavy."

"Ah. yes," Typhoon looks nervous and misbehaved. For some reason, Pongki's attitude was very different tonight. Starting from dinner last night. Pongki always looked at him and now, Pongki just left with Berta.

"There must be nothing to this. Is.. ah. no. It is impossible for my identity to be revealed." His inner.

"Well, we're walking down the beach, right?" Bella hugged the Typhoon's arm and put on a face that looked very spoiled.

Typhoon let out a long sigh, then he tried to smile and nod to Bella.

"Come..."

Bella smiled, her heart really felt in love with Typhoon.

"Yuk," he said as he pulled Typhoon's arm to leave the restaurant.
