Between Love and the Mafia
39. Beni

Relieving the touch from Bela, Bara's heart again shook like never before. His breath was hunting and he tried to calm down. Bara began to regulate the breath back so that it can be regular.

I don't know why every Bela touches him as if he wants to fly. Though his mind said he did not like the girl because he was like a teenage boy who still looks very small.

"You used the phone to call me, and the money was to take a taxi" the Bara facility gave free as a means of payment to Bela.

"Ready boss" Bela's thumbs-up screamed as a sign she approved Bara's remark.

Bela immediately prepared himself to leave, as well as Bara. They set out with their own destination and vehicles. Bara drives his car and Bela stops by the side of the road to get a taxi.

But he was not used to riding a taxi, because during his life he always rode a private car or public forces. Moreover, he thought that the cost of a taxi is quite expensive.

"Ah, waiting for a taxi is quite long and also expensive like waiting for love alone. I'd better take the angkot and save the rest of this money" he said discussing it to himself.

He didn't find any angkot in this town, there were only public buses. Finally, Bela boarded a public bus. Although crowded and many passengers in the morning, at least he can save money for snacks in the next day.

Because on a normal day Bara gives a little money when he is very rich. It was done Bara with the aim that Bela spent the money directly and did not save.

Bara's thoughts are very detailed, he thinks if Bela saves then there will be a possibility of the girl running away from him and fleeing to other cities to escape the ties of Bara and Baratha family.

"Ah shit, I didn't get a seat" Gerrutu Bela was upset.

Bela had to be patient because the seat was full so she had to stand up to get to school. His hand was holding the thing hanging on it.

He had only first taken the bus standing up, because usually he only boarded the angkot and even then with Roy his best friend.

The bus turns make Bela's body unbalanced. He almost lost his balance when the bus turned left or right. Suddenly the bus braked suddenly.

*crittt*

"Aaaaa" shouted everyone including Bela.

He almost fell down, fortunately there was a man who held his hand and held Bela back from falling down. The strong grip of the hand made the martial stand with its body tilted.

"You all right? " Task the man to Bela.

"No, I'm fine.Thank you very much" Bela said nervously.

"Together" Her smile was so sweet that Bela was happy to meet the man.

He used a black hoodie and now stood beside Bela. It felt really awkward because he had helped Bela. Bela wants to repay her bud, because the man she did not fall on the bus.

"Ehmmm you... "

*crittt*

Just now Bela wanted to have a light conversation with the man beside her, but the driver braked suddenly for the second time. This time the man held Bela back, but he only held Bela's bag, not Bela's hand like before.

Bela is shocked that he has to fall again, and the man saves Bela for the second time.

"Crazy bus" Upset Bela. His breath was rough, it felt like he wanted to meet the bus driver and gripped him.

But this time it couldn't be because he had already reached school. With an annoyed face Bela got off the bus and directly ran into the bathroom to calm down.

He immediately washed his face to look calm and should not be upset. He continued to create water with the aim of his face wet and cold, so that the fire in his brain would be extinguished immediately.

"Tomorrow I won't get on that bus again, I'll find another bus" he muttered to himself in front of the toilet mirror.

He immediately entered the classroom, not forgetting he got breakfast from the ramblings of Dira which was never useful. Bela always closes her ears and acts very bodo because she thinks it is all not important.

"Girl doesn't know herself, her face is like a thug and there's no grace. Mario doesn't fit him" Silly babble always throws at Bela.

"True, he only fits as Mario's lackey" continued some of Dira's friends namely Caca dn Tika.

"really? That's a great idea. So Mario's helper is my dream to always be close to him" Sahut Bela tried to heat a burning stove.

He always gave a very beautiful and kind answer to make the ranks of useless creatures fall silent.

The answer is short, clear, solid and weighty. It was better than having to follow all their words and make the anger in Bela's brain grow.

"Ohh you, you little maid" Ketus Dira and wanted to hit Bela.

"What are you? Still early in the morning the mouth kept making a fuss" Upset Mario.

He came and immediately held Dira's hand. No one should hurt Bela, because they have to be ready to face Mario.

Mario has always protected Bela as his best friend even though the word friendship never comes from their lips. But Mario protects Bela more than himself.

"Mario, this is not what you think" Rengek Dira while trying to hold Mario's hand. But always rejected.

"Be quiet, my head is dizzy hearing your whining like a baby" said Mario.

Suddenly, Bela's lips immediately smiled and faced Dira and her friends. Bela gives a hint that he should be aware because Mario doesn't like him.

Without much thought Bela immediately hugged Mario's arm while smiling to show that they were very close. Not just friends but more than friends. More precisely brother and sister-in-law, without them all knowing.

"It looks like we have to enter Mario, because here the air is hot" said soft Bela again heating Dira's heart that has been stirred.

Bela gets more mocking and immediately brings Mario into the classroom. It made Dira go up. His brain was boiling and wanted to devise a plan to destroy Bela.

Dira is dead in love with Mario, but he has never had the time to get close and speak well with Mario. Because the rejection from Mario always comes every time he speaks.

"Ihhh, I won't let go of you crazy worm" he cried loudly so as to make some students who were outside pay attention to Dira with a cynical look.

Not long after the school bell rang, all the students entered the classroom and prepared to receive the lesson.

Suddenly their homeroom teacher came in like never before. And it turns out again Mario class is the arrival of new students. The new student who made Bela surprised upon seeing her face.

"Kids, you'll have new students again. Come here to know you" the homeroom teacher called the students outside their class.

The man entered in a style that many women liked. All eyes looked on with fascination because his style was able to hypnotize every eye that glanced.

While Bela also gaping, because she recognizes who the man in front of her. The man was the one who helped her on the bus.

"You know?" Mario asked curiously when he heard Bela's words even though it sounded faint but Mario still understood the words.

"No, no, he helped me on the bus" Bela explained.

"You got on the bus? Mario is shocked to hear Bela take the bus. Mario thinks he was delivered by his brother, but in fact it is not so.

" Shhh shut up, he wants to get acquainted". That made Mario calm and quiet.

They all listened to the introduction of the new students who were in front of the class. His name is Beni Laksmana.

A great name to remember and to impress all students. When Beni wants to sit down, the women make a rowdy to be able to sit with Beni. Some of them even kicked their friends out to sit with them.

"Sit here.. "

"Here it is" The commotion inside the classroom.

"You go so that he who sits here, after all, you have no use sitting with me" an interesting remark from one of the students.

Bela smiled hearing that remark from the back bench. They let out hurtful words in order to sit with Beni. But it's so funny and it deserves to be laughed at.

The man who was sent off was very resigned and went to find another empty bench.

Their struggle was all in vain as the handsome man chose to sit beside the empty bench of Bela. Making all eyes on him with disappointment at not being able to get along with the man.

"Ah shit, I'm the one who wants to sit with her. But he chose to sit there" a frustrated remark was heard from some students.

"Hi"

"Hi" Sahut Bela awkwardly while returning a greeting from Beni.

Mario looked at the man's gaze very differently as he looked at Bela. Mario's heart felt that the man also liked Bela. To prevent the most distant thing, Mario told Bela to change seats.

Bela only complied and there was not a single rejection from him. Eventually they both moved seats and now the guy is close to Mario instead of Bela.

Beni's face looks very upset because he wants to know Bela more deeply but is blocked by Mario, eventually they are both separated.

"Why are you here, I want the girl to sit here" Beni whispered to Mario.

"Stay you're silent, your mouth is noisy" Mario said.

It looks like there will be competition between the two of them to capture Bela. Seen from the look of his eyes as if inviting to compete in order to get Bela's heart.

The cold Mario and the pecking Beni. The two different traits but with one goal is to get Bela as a whole either his heart or his attention.

"My name is Beni, you can call me Ben. And what's your name? "

At the break Babeni approached Bela to introduce herself. He was playing well with Bela. Because in his mind just want to get acquainted with the girl he met on the bus earlier, not the others.

"I? " Tanya Bela. Beni nods.

"Defender" Ketus Mario with a slightly louder voice.

"I'm not asking you, I'm asking this girl" he said, Mario wanted to answer again but was held back by Bela.

"I defend" Bela greeted Beni's hand in a friendly manner.

"Just defend? Is there no long name?" Beni again asked a lot of things to be able to talk longer with Bela.

"Nothing, quickly release Bela's hand" Upset Mario while forcibly releasing their handshake.

It is clear Mario does not like when Bela is close to Beni. Beni's expression that seems to make Mario afraid if Bela likes Beni. Though the face of Mario is no less handsome with the man.

There was no more conversation between them because Mario immediately took Bela to the cafeteria and away from Beni. Bela is used to Mario's attitude.

Its cold nature is sometimes unpredictable. He can be angry, can be gentle, can talk loudly, but it is difficult to smile.

"Slow down, the canteen will close" said Bela while holding Mario to walk casually.

"Why are you mad if I'm close to him, we don't know him yet" Bela stopped her steps and asked Mario.

"Looks like you bell" Mario said.

"Then? " Mario fell silent and refocused her path.

Unilaterally Mario stopped their conversation and immediately went to the cafeteria. Without them noticing, Beni also followed him from behind.

And without Beni realizing it, he is also followed by Brandon, and without Brandon realizing he is also followed by Dira and his gang.

Looks like they're putting together the streets to become a train of high curiosity. His pace settled down to be quick until and now Mario and Bela are still leading up front.

"Sit down I'll order something" As usual Mario always ordered food for Bela.

"Wait for Mario" Bela held off Mario. Because today he just wants to talk to her.

"Why? "

"I want to talk to you" Mario immediately sat down and looked at her.

Actually Bela wants to say that he misses learning with Mario, but only a day apart. So does Mario, actually want to say the same thing as Bela's mind.

But for a moment he stopped looking at Bela because he saw Beni was stalking them. Mario does not want to talk about Bela and Bara because he knows if it is in the school talk then Bela's reputation will be polluted because he was married.

"Stt, just talk lightly" Mario said, gesturing that they were being spied on.

"Alright" Bela said according to him.

Mario immediately ordered food, when in front of the seller it turns out he also saw a 2-serving meal message while smiling at Mario.
