Between Love and the Mafia
43. Seeking Embers

Bela's feeling is uncomfortable, she wants to go out and see Bara's situation there. Without realizing it, the worry arises by itself from the bottom of Bela's heart.

"You don't come out because the operation is ongoing" Alex said, opening a conversation inside Bela's room.

"I just want to prepare dinner brother" Sahut Bela, even though he wants to see the operation.

"No, I've ordered some fast food for tonight" Alex said.

Bela squinted her brows, she still did not understand what was happening. It was usually Bara who ruled him and now his best friend also ruled him.

They even ordered a large amount of food without his knowledge. But most importantly now Bela's heart is restless waiting for the operation to be completed.

"Why is there an impromptu operation? " Bela's curiosity is quite high, while Alex can't explain it at length.

"Due to emergency" Just a short speech Alex gave.

"When it's gonna be done"

"Quickly"

Not a definite answer that came out of Alex's mouth, but a fairly short answer but no long explanation. Alex just says what he knows but doesn't explain what Bela's asking.

The two of them were silent in the room with their own silence. Alex stood by the window and opened it to enjoy the fresh air of the night breeze.

While Bela was still waiting and sitting on the bed in the anxiety of her own mind. He did hate Bara, but he also could not bear to see Bara hurt like that.

"Why can't I see it?" Bela asked Alex.

"Because it's privacy" Alex said briefly.

"I'm his wife, brother, I'm afraid if my husband's why" said Bela with a face full of thoughts as if he was a real wife.

"His husband? " Ask Alex back, and Bela just nodded.

Actually Alex knows that their relationship is only a contract marriage to please oma. He also knew that Bara only made Bela a toy.

But what Alex does not expect is that Bela's nature is really mature. Bela even considered Bara as her husband. She was also stunned when she saw a girl as small as Bela was already a housewife filled with responsibilities.

And worse yet he does homework whether it's cooking or cleaning a house this big by himself.

Alex knew all that from Bara. Bara told them all proudly without thinking about the feelings of the little girl who was pondering before him tonight.

"You sad? " Ask Alex as he approached Bela who was daydreaming in her bed.

"No, I'm just scared" she said.

"Fear why? " Bela fell silent as Alex asked again.

He got out of his seat and wanted to get out of the room. But Alex again prevents Bela from staying silent in the room even though her heart is flogging to see Bara.

Once again Alex asked about the fear that Bela said, but the girl was still silent and did not want to answer about the fear of what she meant.

"Are you afraid of Bara for nothing? " Alex kept asking Bela a few questions.

"No, I'm just afraid you're starving" he said spontaneously.

Though in his mind Bela still hugged the fear of what he saw earlier. Bara is cruel, but Bela still has an obligation to repay her bud for giving her a comfortable place to live.

Shortly after the operation was completed, the doctor suggested bringing Bara to his room but Bara's room was located above and it was difficult to pass the stairs.

"Sister, the room next to me is empty. So Mr. Bara can rest there, and I promise I will take care of him" Bela told Alex.

Hearing that, Alex decides to follow the girl's will. After all, his advice is very appropriate for Bara's recovery as soon as possible.

Bela also promised to keep Bara to recover as before. Finally that night he took care of Bara and took care of him in accordance with the doctor's orders so that Bara's wounds dried immediately.

While Alex and the others stand guard at Bara's house in anticipation of an attack by the enemy. Because at the moment the situation is not safe.

"Sir, sir, you're worrying me. Why play with bullets like that? Brother Alex didn't tell me about your wound either. Then I asked who else? "

Bela's lips continued to talk a lot about the worries that were convoluted in her own mind. Though the interlocutor is still asleep with a slumber because of the anesthetic from the operation earlier.

Bela dared to talk like that because Bara was asleep, just try Bara woke up maybe he would not say something like that.

He continued to babble while his hands were busy providing the most comfortable service so that his master slept quietly. He took good care of it tonight.

"It's lucky my best friend got a girl like her, even though she was young but her attention beat the wives out there."

Little Alex whispered from behind the small open door. Alex is very happy with the personality of Bela, a beautiful little girl and always full of smiles. It felt like everyone would feel at peace when he looked at his beautiful smile.

But what he was surprised was his friend who never enjoyed the creation of God. Alex thought that Bara had not felt anything special in Bela's body.

"I hope one day he realizes the advantages of the fake wife he has today."

A small smile from Alex's lips flashed back, then his steps left Bela who was still busy staring at Bara's face with attention.

Alex immediately leaves and goes about his duty to protect Bara's house with great care. Wishing tonight and beyond to return to peace and no more impromptu attacks from the enemies.

Morning

"Eeehhmmm" Bela's body wriggled and her hands were busy rubbing eyes to resuscitate herself.

He woke up from his sleep last night. He continued to be busy taking care of Bara patiently even though he had to fall asleep on the sofa back.

But when he really realized from his sleep, how shocked Bela when he saw Bara was no longer on his bed. He still could not believe it and checked it back under the blanket, it was true Bara was not there.

"Master, sir, sir where are you.

His cry was small while looking for Bara under the bed. Bela is afraid if Bara falls and rolls under the mattress and falls asleep with the cockroaches there.

It turned out that he still did not find Bara, then went back to look for her in the bathroom, into the closet, and much more in every corner of the room. But what he got was not Bara, but a new spider that was making a nest.

"Oh no, was he kidnapped? " His mind was raving unclear. Bela ran out of the room to look for the whereabouts of her wounded master.

"Taun, sir, are you silent sir? "

"Master" cried Bela loudly.

It was still morning, the sound of Bela had echoed in every corner of the house calling the name Bara, while Bara was relaxing in the yard to enjoy the fresh air this morning.

"You're disturbing my morning" Chief Bara.

"I'm looking for you, sir, I'm afraid you're kidnapped again. "

Definitely martial, it made Alex smile meaningfully while staring at Bara. Bara caught a glimpse of Alex's gaze, it felt like Bara's hand wanted to slap Alex's smile that held something of ridicule.

"I was looking for you under the covers, under the bed, in the closet, in the bathroom and so much more. But I didn't find you so I'm afraid you're okay sir"

Bela's speech again made Alex hold back his laughter which had peaked. It felt like he wanted to laugh out loud when he heard the words of Bela who was looking for Bara in just any corner. Though Bara's body was as big, but still looking for it in the closet.

While Bara was still staring cynically at the girl in front of him who continued to fuss over telling her all the things she experienced this pagil only to find her master who disappeared from the bed after waking up.

"Are you stupid" Ember's annoyance began to peak even a little.

"No sir, if I'm stupid then I won't look and worry about you" Bela said calmly.

"Hahahahha, he's not stupid but very clever Bara. Because you're the same as the cockroach drop" Alex whispered in ridicule.

"Isss you're this"

"Please don't hit me, 'cause your face looks funny. Haha"

Alex finally took out his thoughts that he had saved. And his laughter continued to echo staring at the funny thing that was going on this blind morning.

How not, the morning that should enjoy the view in the yard but found is a debate between Bela's worries that look very silly because looking for Bara in an unexpected place.

"Go, you disturb my morning" Bara drove Bela out of his presence.

"Alright, I'm going sir" Just a few steps Bela in and then back in front of Bara while walking backwards like a cassette that plays backwards.

"Are you really okay, sir? " The question with his silly face.

"You are" Snapped the embers while holding a vase of flowers that became decoration on a nearby table.

"Aaa alright, looks like you're good" He asked himself and he also answered the question himself with a smile as well.

Then step Bela went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast this morning. Fortunately, Bela did not go to school because of holidays. If not, maybe he will be late for preparing so much food for Bara, Alex and some of his subordinates.

The girl is very deft, when seen the more days her cooking skills are more qualified. There is no doubt that Bela is a dreamy little girl for men who want a wife.

Etss, but Bela already has a husband. For the future, no one knows. Whether Bela will continue her contract by becoming a full-fledged wife or she will leave after her 2-year contract is completed.

The day turns night, Bara's house is no longer lonely. Because this time he told his subordinates to guard his house. I don't know when this war will end.

Alex has gone back to his new hiding place. As well as securing all weapons owned so as not to be taken over by the enemies .

And now in the house there are only two creatures of God who love quarrels the most, namely Bara and Bela.

"This is the warm water, and I will help you compress the wound" he said, bringing a basin of warm water from the kitchen.

Bela was very attentive to Bara, as she did not want to see the people around her sad and hurt. So he did anything for Bara's recovery.

"Here sir let me compress your wound with warm water"

"No need for me to be alone" Bara directly took a small towel in Bela's hand and then he tried to compress his own wound.

Alex was still watching his stubborn and arrogant best friend. He was still following what he was going to do, when it was clear his hand was struggling to reach his wound. Especially to compress it yourself.

While Bela was still silently watching Bara, she took a deep breath looking at her master's behavior. Waiting for time to do the right thing

"Looks like your hands are too short sir, I'd better be alone."

The little towel came back Bela took from Bara's hand. Then dipped back into warm water and immediately stick it into the hands of Bara.

For a moment Bara was silent and followed the groove that the little girl was doing. He could not say anything because the truth was that Bara could not reach his wound and did the compression of the wound properly.

"It looks like you'll be safe with him" whispered Alex with a satisfied smile as his eyes looked at the scene.

"Isss you here, you fucking crap" Cletuk Bara. It was heard by Bela's ears and became a misunderstanding.

"I fuck? The world doesn't know the rules, I helped him but I still rebuke. Please do your joint only"

Bela left him and gave the towel back to Bara's hands. He went straight to the kitchen and cooked food for her this morning.

All this because Alex made Bara say things loudly so Bela felt that Bara was telling him shit, even though the word for Alex was disturbing Bara.

"Look, it's all because of you. He thinks I'm saying shit to him" a little Curhatan

"Then do you feel guilty? It seems you're not willing for him to leave. You didn't want him to take care of your wounds, but now you regret it when he left"

Alex again laughed complacently without a sound, he again mocked Bara for his own actions. It made his best friend grow angry.

To avoid Bara's anger, Alex leaves from before him with a face still wrapped in a smile. It was as if she was saying that their household was very cute.

Alex also feels that things are different from his best friend. Seen from his gaze when Bela helps to clean his wound. The gaze was unusual but very sharp like the eyes of an eagle.
