This Monday felt very heavy for Bella not because she had to struggle with doing campus activities or other activities.
Exactly at eight in the morning Alisa had knocked on her bedroom door with enthusiasm, the sound of alarm on her phone alone was less loud than the sound that Alisa made. Alisa's face was very sparkling happy to patiently wait for Bella to prepare herself.
Finally the day came, for three days and three nights he would be in Bandung. The plan is that Jodhi's friends in Jakarta will gather at his house first.
Their trip to Bandung will do some kind of touring together.
"Why should I stay in Bandung, Sa. Peak ‘kan can also if just look for the same atmosphere of cool air." Complain Bella.
They had already headed to the gathering point which was at Jodhi's house.
"Duh, no exclamation at the top anyway who wants to dance the mountain air," replied Alisa frowning.
"Don't tell me you're carrying a long, thick shirt.. Please deh Bel, lo pinter brain but kok Lo so telly (think plate) gini anyway. You really don't open the paper bag that I love when we shop together." Alisa is now looking with a face that looks awkward.
Hearing Alisa's words, Bella nodded even though she was confused about what Alisa meant.
"Duh, Bell.. If I think it's even messed up." Alisa's got her temple.
Shortly after, Alisa delivers a small suitcase in front of Bella.
"What are you doing" asked Bella. Face confused.
"Make it! thankfully I was preparing. But, you bring the clothes I love the other day we to the mall ‘kan."
"Oh. So it's a suit of contents," replied Bella casually.
Alisa immediately took Bella's suitcase and sure enough Bella even brought the paper bag in a state that is still sealed neatly.
"Duh, really yeah. Later I will tell Mr. Deni to bring your bag to the house again. I prepared the needs that must be used anyway," forced Alisa a little bit of barking tone.
Bella gulps her saliva rough, while being angry like this Alisa really has a scary look and super judes. Though earlier he almost chatted want to go home and ended up not so come with a variety of other reasons. For example, stomach pain or stomach acid recur.
If like this Bella can only resign to follow the flow. Let fate take him where he is.
"Sa, it's why I have to wear clothes from lo," replied Bella
Alisa looked up at Bella, why was this friend suddenly stupid. Her face was clearly read by Bella.
"We want to go to the beach, you want to die of heat!“ hardik Alisa's.
Ah, and now Bella just got it.
It's wrong not to check Alisa's giving last time because it was too busy looking for reasons to kelit coupled with a task deadline that drains the brain and blame Bella also to forget to ask the real destination.
Gosh why he became so careless because anxiety and fear mixed into one
(Bella your mind is already messed up then what heart you also need to prepare for chaos again.) Monologue in the heart.
And after that conversation Bella just fell silent looking outwards. Alisa who realized this then grasped Bella's hand gently. He was angry but not angry that exploded uncontrollably.
"No need to think a lot then 'can you nyamperin Arga. Seneng dong. Your face from earlier was very lethargic. Where is the holiday spirit," said Alisa.
Who only answered Bella's thin smile.
Yes, at least Bella can still hope with the presence of Arga.
The breath sounds long. Before Bella glanced at the paperbags and bags that Alisa had prepared before. All clothes even until the underwear Alisa had prepared mature, this friend really memorized her size.
"Sa, thank you. If lo ingetin was fit at home so no need to bother gini," said Bella after Alisa finished lifting her suitcase to Jodhi's car.
Bella opened the paperbag that has since become the most often called as if the most important thing for Alisa, her eyebrows are linked. His hand massaged his temple which somehow suddenly dizzy after knowing the meaning of his friend. "Should you wear that?"
"This is beach party , Bel everyone there will also wear clothes like that, maybe more open. Some friends Jodhi to deliberately bring his girlfriend to―" Alisa rolled her eyeballs lazy because this friend is too innocent for things related to the opposite sex.
"Well, you know.. But just calm down I'll be in the same room." Alisa hopes Bella understands that.
Even though Alisa and Jodhi have done it, Alisa always feels responsible in bringing Bella can't just leave her.
Alisa knows Bella has a trauma in building relationships between the opposite sex. Arga who is now close to him alone can be said to have considerable progress in doing skinship such as handrails, hugs or just a small kiss without making Bella afraid to be touched again
And Alisa knows that scraping Bella's past is indeed a difficult thing to do.
"I don't care if it's a private party but this is a friend SMA― "Bella bit the tip of her lips.
"And especially Abian that," said Alisa quickly because she knew what her friend was thinking. Alisa approached looking at Bella's brown eyes that looked lost.
Breath sounds in both ears. Bella and Alisa momentarily went towards the backyard of Jodhi's house slightly away from the keramain.
Placing herself on a park bench, the two stared at each other and Bella was just silently glued together. "We've talked about this repeatedly. Please, this time do it for yourself and if you have more feelings with Arga let him also know your past. It's not a disgrace and it's not a shame, Bel."
Bella bit the corner of her lips, her finger movements became agitated. "G―gue is scared, Sa." replied Bella like a child.
Alisa hugged the body of her friend who had been bowed lethargic. "Can start slowly. I will continue beside you, even if not done now you want to avoid until when. Do not make your illness worse. Must fight the bell."
Bella grabbed the end of Alisa's shirt. Drowned his face in the narrow shoulders of his friend. Bella still locked her mouth tight. Alisa was only able to gently rub Bella's head and caress the strands of hair belonging to her friend. Hope Bella has the peace to face her biggest fear.
***
Since leaving Jodhi's house until the trip Bella looks more quiet than usual. The view looks more towards the outside of the window. Even occasionally Bella was seen sleeping in the back seat.
Alisa who saw it tried to make Bella more comfortable, sometimes she was willing to act silly to be a clown or become a joke so that her friend could smile a little.
"Bel, so go to the cake shop first, right?" Holding his friend's shoulder.
"Yes, if we've reached the villa."
Alisa looked at Bella's face for a moment. "Bel, you believe in me, right?"
Alisa's soft voice made Bella turn to him, she knew her friend was trying to strengthen her. "Yes, sorry. I was just silent and sleeping during the trip," said Bella felt bad about her attitude.
"Eh, not an important problem fitting party later you have to smile and do not put on a tired face again. Yes, it's baby." Alisa's eyes glanced at the collar of Jodhi who was now their driver.
"Yes dong. We have to be happy. There's also Arga Bel." Jodhi showed me her teeth. Seeing this, Bella can only smile at Jodhi's words.
"Oh, how many people are coming, Jod?"
Jodhi momentarily remembered her friend whose plan was to come. Actually there is no official invitation just word of mouth between close friends only. So if asked like that Jodhi is also confused to answer it.
"There must be about two to thirty people but the one who stays at least half as long as a bell."
Jodhi's answer made Bella at least relieved, she knew this was just a small party possibility that she knew Jodhi only had a few close friends during school because Jodhi was also a schoolmate with him. Jodhi had three friends Jodhi, Marsel and Abian
"Why indeed, Bel," asked Jodhi again.
"No problem yet." Showing a sweet smile.
And after that there was only a chat between the two lovers who threw jokes at each other. Bella just keeps remembering the words of her friend, she also remembered Arga. Jesus, Bella until forgot if previously she had got the persuasion to meet at Jodhi's party immediately she sent a message to Arga that said, I wait at Jodhi's party.
