More Than a Boyfriend

~ Relief

...🌺🌺🌺...

Two days from Bella's death. They all take Bella to the airport, including Dad and Jimmy's mother.

"Darling, be careful there. Remember mealtime, don't be careless." Said the mother ria who was crying tergugu while hugging the princess only wayangnya.

" Communicado Daddy and Mommy often. Buy a heavy jacket for the winter. The former is also fine as long as it is still good." Said Fauzi's father who was also crying.

He got a pinch from his wife when he said the former signifies they are not so able to buy a new one. Honestly, the prestige of saying that in front of his own best friend even though in reality, most of what they wear are preloved items.

"Don't forget our video call when it's snowing. We'd like to enjoy the first snow with you too." Said Ayu who shed tears.

Jimmy and Mimi cheered on Ayu's statement because ayu is not a poor person who until the difficulty of enjoying the cold snow in Japan.

"Have you been a lot?" Mimi Tegur.

"Hiks...! hyks....! but since there's COVID I can't go anywhere with my Papa." The answer.

"Yes, I'll video call." Bella smiled hugging Ayu and Mimi.

Bella looked at Jimmy for a moment and hugged him too. "Remember my message, huh? the ones that get along." He said, then let go of his embrace.

Jimmy nodded then wiped his dripping tears. However, he was so unwilling to let go of Bella. They were together for a dozen years and now have to part for a long time.

"Learn the real thing! don't date." Jimmy mocked Bella.

"Who? you're dating time only!" Cibir Bella who won't lose.

"Uncle pray good college and graduate with good grades." Dandi's father rubbed Bella's arm slowly and then the two smiled at each other warmly.

"It's fine there. Aunty will miss you dear." Said the holy Mother who embraced Bella.

"Bella's gonna miss Auntie, same as all of you." Bella rubbed her tears that accidentally fell down her smooth cheeks.

The plane's shock as it left its runway made Bella very nervous. This was his first experience on a plane. Bella's hands were soaked with cold sweat and her heart was racing.

"Don't be nervous. Are you scared? this must be your first experience, right?" Tanya Dion who happens to be also a student who is an exchange student of Students from different universities.

All those who were selected and received scholarships, were flown in by plane and the same day. Bella has made one more friend.

His name was Dion, a man with thick glasses and a clear appearance. The consistent nerd. It was clearly visible in his hand still holding a geography encyclopedia book.

"Yes, I'm so scared. We're holding hands, yeah, I'm scared too." Dion. Bella was afraid it was nothing, she was afraid that Dion was amazing. His clothes got wet on his chest and his forehead was already poking cold sweat as big as corn seeds.

"Your...! Huft...!" Many times Dion and Bella pulled and exhaled deeply trying to reduce the tension.

"What makes you interested in Japan?" Dion asked trying to reduce her fear.

" I .. I love his orderly and disciplined culture." Answer Bella. " When you?" Bella asked back.

"Me?" Dion was unsure of his own answer. " I don't really like it. But my father works there and wants me to follow in his footsteps, so he wants me to be good at Japanese."

" My dad became a TKI. He's a factory worker. At least if I go to high school, it can change the fate of our family. Pretty sure my friend can meet the hot wasabi." Dion answered so innocently mentioning one of the hot stars.

"Wasabbi? hot ones?" Bella's birthday muttered. He also still digested Dion's words.

Wasabi is hot, right? what makes Bella confused. Wait a minute, looks like Dion wasn't wasabi.

"Yes, my friend said when I met him I was asked to ask for his signature."

"Wasabi is spicy food? the light green and pasta shaped. Can I sign it?"

This is the conversation between the innocent and the innocent inexhaustible. What Dion's friends mean is Miyabi. But what Dion remembers is wasabi. Really Dion, your brain is still so innocent.

"Oh? i-yeakah? my friend said it's a human name." said Dion innocently.

"That's the name of Dion's food. Wasabi is food."

" My friend said it was a pretty girl." Innocently Dion insisted on maintaining his erroneous memory.

It did not feel like they took off smoothly and turbulence was no longer felt. Bella releases Dion's hand and the two enjoy the view of the clouds and occasionally take pictures together using Dion's camera.

There were three people leaving together, but one of them was on a bench away from their cabin.

Somewhere shady and beautiful.

"Mom, have you taken the medicine?" Robbie asked as he let go of his tie after work.

"Yes it's been." Grandma Mirna replied in a low voice that shook with the influence of age.

The two then sat on the back porch of the house enjoying the snow that began to thicken because it was in the middle of winter. Sapporo, Hokkaido is the most crowded place in winter. There is often a snow/ice festival where many reliable ice carvers come to compete for talent and invite many tourists.

"Has Billa arrived?" He asked by staring at the snow-white expanse that covered the flower garden behind the house.

"Neg, the length of the flight is 7 hours and 20 minutes. That is if there is no delay. I hope everything goes well and the package will arrive safely." Robbie replied with a sweet smile looking at the grandmother.

Grandma Mirna nodded her head and looked back at the stretch of white snow. "At least when the sakura falls, we can enjoy it together. right By?"

" Yes Nek." Robbie answered briefly but represented his feelings that also should remember the figure of Billa in Bella.

"Let's go in, not good too long outside. Grandma doesn't want to add any more, does the medicine you're taking?"

"Yes, you know, Grandma's been so lazy to take all that medicine. But Grandma's life also depends on those drugs."

Grandma Mirna looked up considering how careless she had been continuously taking drugs non-stop for so many years. He's a lonely old man who only befriends his only grandson who cares and cares.

The fragile soul remembers and longs for the soul of the long-gone granddaughter. One wish, can see the face of his grandson Billa in Bella. Girls who have a resemblance above 80% with Billa.

Robbie, he can only obey the grandmother's last wishes, even if he has to admit it. The road he took this time was quite complicated and difficult.

But deep down, there was more relief than all his labors. That is to see the sparkling face of the old grandmother dimmed.
