More Than a Boyfriend

His anger.

...🥀🥀🥀...

...Bella POV....

I do not understand at all the change in attitude of Brother Rama to me. In the night, he could be so different. Was it my fault for telling the truth about his sister?

Oh, how naive I am. I thought he would protect me and keep me away from his sister. But there's one thing I've forgotten here. They are blood related. There's no stronger connection than that. Here I am just an outsider who does not deserve to interfere in all their affairs.

It might even be possible for him, my honesty the other day was a sheepfight for him. Hemh .……, I should have realized that.

"Today, there's a test." I read the email that came in on my phone.

"Ah, there's an email I haven't read yet. What'sthis?" I forgot one email that came in.

Slowly I read it carefully and carefully. Line by line I read.

"Student exchange form." I muttered after reading it.

It's been a month since that happened. Rama has not given any news at all. I don't know what he's doing and where he is, I don't know at all.

And Jimmy, he moved to my college on purpose. Money can conquer everything. I'm tired of Jimmy's attitude coming back to what he used to be when we were in High School. He's always been sticking to me.

"I have to how?" I was monologuing to look out the window.

My room isn't upstairs anymore. I've moved to the storage area that I've converted into my room. I did it all for my girlfriend. So that he won't be angry anymore. But.., until now I still can't tell him.

Jimmy came to me before he left for college. He does not give up and always does whatever he wants. If only I had more money, I would have chosen to leave.

"Am I taking this Student exchange offer? I myself have no clarity on my relationship with Rama. He disappeared as if swallowed by the earth." I monologued as I began to prepare my needs.

Tung ting!

The sound of the doorbell was very special. Jimmy pressed him while playing the bell.

"Yes patient!" It was my voice that walked out and locked the door.

"Jim, you can't. Don't pick me up or take me home?"

" Why baby?" Ask.

Ah this is a word I hate that comes out of his mouth and becomes his daily habit. DARLING it was like a sacred word that got me a skewed assessment of the kids on campus.

They think I'm not a good girl because I deliberately courted Brother and sister at once. Oh, myGod...! Help me.

"Don't call Jim's darling. We're just friends." I said to her who kept putting on a sweet smile after putting her seatbelt on me. I can put it up myself. But, it's over-treatment like this Always.

"We, dear partners." He answered by rubbing my hair slowly.

His attitude turned so soft on me right after the accident and it and Rama just disappeared from that night. Ah ... what is this? I really don't understand.

Holy Mother said Brother Rama went to work. Then what can I do when he avoids me?

"Jim! stop it or I'm down now!" Jerked him. I'm really angry right now. He always behaves as he pleases.

He smiled even more gently at me. "Yes, don't be angry, Bell. I was just kidding. Don't be so serious!" He said casually.

Akh's.………! I'm sick! Always joking around to avoid my anger. Even humiliation will be fine if at the end of it using the word JOKING.

"I'm going down, right? I'll just find ojek." I said, finally, I started talking to him.

He looked at me flat expressionlessly and then opened my seat belt. " Yes." Short answer.

The tumben? usually he would ban me and use a lot of excuses. But now? why is it so easy.

I don't want to get dizzy. I chose to go down and search for an online motorcycle. I found him soon. Lucky for me because there was a motorcycle taxi driver who just dropped off his passenger.

I gotta hurry before Jimmy gets to the place. I need to fill out the exchange form immediately. It's my decision.

I don't feel calm here anymore. There are a lot of aspects that bother me and I think it's my time to go. Me and Brother Rama, I feel like he dumped me. It may be true said Ayu, if it is not good to be between two brothers who are in conflict.

Arriving at the college, I immediately headed to the administrative office. I take care of everything, not everyone who gets a scholarship gets this offer. So I think this is gonna be good for me.

The country I chose was Japan. Majoring in Japanese literature, I got a special recommendation from the college. I think this is a good thing for me. Although this is actually just my escape from discomfort.

I kept this a secret from everything including Ayu, Mimi and Jimmy. To my parents, I'm sure they'll be very happy with this. They have long planned. They keep pumping my spirit to achieve the best grades of any academic. To be able to get Student exchange recommendations and scholarships in Japan.

It's time for me to make both of them feel proud. Honestly I admit, what I am experiencing at this time even makes my spirit drop. I'm really down.

"Dad, Mother, I'm sorry I was just wasting time on love. I should just focus on academics." I muttered looking at our photo while together at an event.

...Author POV...

Rama, he's gone missing. I don't know what it is. But his departure left Bella vacillating. Bella feels hung up and the vagueness of their relationship makes Bella unable to focus on learning.

Somewhere.

The mother and child are communicating with a cell phone.

"Ram, are you still avoiding Bella? What was? can you explain it to Mother?"

"Bun, Rama is honest. Actually, Bella and Rama are dating."

"Isn't he? Well, your child is an adult apparently."

"But Bun, Rama became doubtful of Rama's relationship.

" Doubt why? Bella is a good girl. He is a smart kid and smart too. Your sister just lost far less than Bella. Then, what makes you doubt, dear?"

"Ep... Rama Tau if Jimmy also put his heart on Bella. And you know how Dad and Jimmy are, don't you? My wish will definitely be ignored, and I will definitely defend Jimmy desperately."

"But, Ram. For this, there's something you don't know. We actually set you up with Bella when you were little."

"Because Jimmy turned it down, right? and because Bella used to be ugly and fat. But now? Jimmy wanted Bella. I already know this, Bun."

"Either Bun, I'm not sure if my feelings are true love or just a sense of wanting to compete and ruin my own brother's happiness."

"Stop hurting each other, baby. You're all grown up and you're brothers."

"But Rama is tired if forced to keep caving Bun."

"Mother has no way to dampen your anger and hurt you. It's always like this. It's up to you guys. Mother will not interfere in the matchmaking."

TUT…! cell phone connection disconnected.
