CHAPTER 4
That afternoon, Aris was anxiously waiting for a message from Bella. After the chat at that time, Aris and Bella's relationship got more intense. The sun was rising, stinging his skin so that it warmed the body that had been hot and cold because of nervousness. The bright light came in from the gap in the bedroom window.
"Maybe Bella is still busy," said Aris in the room's silence.
His hands were currently clenched tightly, Rania's image suddenly flashed, this time two girls could make him nervous.
"How are you, Ran. Are you still waiting for me today? Or are you tired? So what is this? Your Aris is expecting another woman... right, Ran, it's Bella. I don't know why that girl is now my hope, sorry if you have to get hurt again." Aris said to himself again, as if telling a girl named Rania.
Since knowing Bella, the long-haired man seemed to have found the figure he wanted. To be precise, this is a responsibility because for him to make Bella happy is a must, a beautiful girl can't be hurt in the slightest and for the first time a hard man wants to know what an explosion of love is, knocking down his pride to chase a woman he's never even met.

"Dad, after school Bella won't go home right away, I have an assignment with a friend outside of school." Bella Kurnia Sari asked her father's permission.
The city of Ponorogo, where Bella was born, grew up to be a beautiful girl. She is trying to be persistent in wearing her hijab. Bella never lacks love from anyone, even her mother in Taiwan never stops giving attention and affection. However, still as a child she missed her mother's presence.
"Do you want me to pick you up later?"
"No need, Dad. Later, Bella will be with my friends." Bella answered in front of her father while taking Darwin's hand to say goodbye to her first love.
"Okay then, but remember, yes. The job is done home." Darwin looked at his daughter and then gave a small warning followed by a smile that made Bella relieved, the middle-aged man fully believed in his daughter and was sure that his daughter could take good care of herself.
"Yes, Sir!" her right hand formed a gesture of respect for Darwin. She is forty-three years old. A father figure as well as a friend for Bella Kurniasari. Darwin is her idol. Bella respects him very much.
Bella is ready to do her schoolwork. Pipit and two other friends are in front of her house now.
"Just use my motorbike, Pit, put your motorbike here," Bella asked her best friend.
"Okay fine," answered Pipit origin.
"But have you confirmed that your motorbike has drunk gasoline?" said Pipit then, busy inserting her motorbike into Bella's terrace.
"Yeah... it was last night, you're terrified," Bella answered with her trademark smile. Charming, as usual.
"I don't want it if you have to push your motorbike again, you just run out of gas on the road."
Hearing the words of Pipit Bella laughing, followed by their other two friends, bursts of laughter broke their brains as if they were spinning and remembering the ridiculous events at that time. They run out of fuel right in the middle of a busy highway. Pipit's facial expression immediately changed. An annoyed look was evident on her sweet face indicating that the incident she at least wanted to repeat.
"Yes, sorry, Pit was negligence, there was no intentional element."
"Luckily, you are my best friend, Bell, if not I would have stayed. You were alone with your gasoline-wearing motorbike." Pipit, who was still annoyed when she remembered the incident, got on a motorbike and they were ready to go to school.
Don't ask how Bella holds back her laughter, even though Pipit Ani Fitriani is a bitchy person when she talks spicy, for solidarity, Pipit is a person who is ready to put her body together if there is any problem.
