Between Love and the Mafia
59. Expressing Love

On one side Bela looks relieved because Bara did not ask how his chin could be bumped so that it gets bruised marks and has pain like a tonjokan.

Let it be forgotten so as to make Bela feel calm and do not deal with Bara, count it in reply Bela when Bara punch landed on Bela's face like that time.

"Sir, I have prepared warm honey water for you, so that you do not drown again due to alcohol last night" Bela said while giving a glass of honey that he made.

Bara just fell silent and continued to eat regardless of Bela's words, as if his nature had returned to the cold Bara.

Though yesterday he still talked a lot and had a good laugh when Bela drove him in bed when he was drunk. But now his personality is again transformed into a cloud of pendants and vengeful like a lion is looking for an opponent.

Without waiting for a response from Bara, Bela immediately went to school with Alex. While Cintia wants to come with the two of them as usual as if not separated from Alex. From then on, he remained silent without making any sound. What a strange lover surrounds the lives of Bela and Bara.

School

Bela walked in the hallway of the class, his vision was fixed on a school mading. There is a painting contest poster that gets a lot of prizes.

Bela's face twinkled while holding the poster as if she had found a treasure on a sunny morning. Then she immediately ran into the classroom to find her best friend and showed me the poster.

His eyes are looking for his best friend around every corner, but he doesn't see his best friend and only sees Mario in class.

"Mario look at me finding something" Bela said with happiness adorning the look on her face.

Mario was astonished and did not know what his best friend was carrying, he thought Bela had found a very valuable object that made her happy this morning.

Mario tries to calm Bela down to sit first because he wants to hear the story of Bela and can talk to Bela together.

"What did you find, did you find gold, money or something else? "Mario's teaching sorted out an object that was on his mind.

"Did you find the gold of Bela "Beni suddenly came and immediately sat down and joined in their conversation and became a bully on the sidelines of their conversation.

Mario's face immediately wrinkled when he saw Beni because he did not like if Beni was close to Bela. Mario knows very well that Beni likes Bela but he doesn't want that love to be one. Because Mario's heart also loves Bela.

Mario tries to prevent Beni from sitting near Bela and he pulls the chair so that Beni can not sit. But Mario was wrong because Beni was sitting at the table in front of Bela so they were both very close.

"Why are you always present among us whether you don't have a job" Mario grumbled resentfully at Beni.

"I'm not talking to you I want to talk to Bela anyway what's your business" Beni said ignoring Mario's presence by displaying a face like wanting to war with Mario.

The gazes of the two of them were getting heated up no wind no rain Mario and Beni was always hostile. Perhaps there will never be a word of agreement between the two of them because in their hearts there is only one person who must be obtained in any way, Bela.

"Ah you guys are so annoying, I want to tell you a story but why do you guys fight "pissed Bela while looking at Mario and Beni in turn.

" I'm sorry "tow Mario and Beni simultaneously

"Well, that's it so I can calmly tell you" said Bela displaying a smile. Just now Bela wanted the story to suddenly Brandon and Sela came to follow.

With a face of high curiosity they immediately sat down and wanted to listen to Bela. Because Sela and Brandon do not want to leave a secret even though let alone about his best friend because they are good listeners.

Maybe if they lived in the past it would be radio listening and spreading the word. Even though they are both really annoying and that is what makes Mario and Bela love them as friends.

"So like this..... " Bela explained to them that she was carrying a poster of the painting race that was in her hand.

Bela told me that this was Bela's chance to pour her talent. All eyes were on Bela as they did not know that Bela had a hobby for painting.

His three best friends are stunned because Bela has just given up her secret about her penchant for painting what a very unfair secret.

"You're hiding a secret to us?" Brandon asked on the sidelines of the explanation Bela gave.

Bela was surprised by the question and then tried to smile to calm the atmosphere. For they have promised that in friendship there must be no secret.

Bela tried to calm them down one by one and said that she had her own reasons for stopping painting but suddenly after seeing the poster she just wanted to paint again because she had not been dealing with it for a long time brushes and canvas.

"In the meantime, why are you here are you eavesdropping on our conversation? "Sela suddenly realized that they were not sitting four but five.

Because there was Beni sitting at the side and tendering themselves to hear their chatter. It is a consciousness that is beyond reason because it is too late for too long, but Beni has been sitting there since, but Sela does not realize it.

Likewise with Brandon it turns out he did not realize it too, because the focus is on Bela who is talking to Mario to find out something. It seems like they really think Beni is a shadow only really unfortunate.

"Do you not know if he has been sitting here since "clearly Bela to Brandon and Sela.

"Not "said Brandon and Sela simultaneously.

"I came first from you "Supplied Beni with his arrogant face.

"Truly, you have to leave because this is the secret of our friendship "Sela said with an annoyed look, but Beni rejected it because she just wanted to be close to Bela.

Bela only fell silent because he also did not want Beni among their friendship, but he also hesitated if he kicked Beni out of his place because he felt he had a debt to Beni.

"All right now there are four of us, so you have to tell us what reason you're hiding in reality as a painter" Brandon said after the situation at their table was no longer a bully.

Bela kept silent and said that she did not want to paint anymore because she would remember her mother. Since the death of his mother Bela stopped painting, but this time he decided to jump again and paint.

And there is a reason behind it, but Bela can not explain it to her best friend. The three of them also understood that there might be things they wanted to hide and they also could not force it because it was Bela's right.

"Sok-sookan so the painter knows his painting is just a picture of mountain doang hahaha "really annoying sound of bullies and insinuations come from the mouth of Dira and his friends.

*brak* bluff the table hard.Bela's hand was so upset that it hit the table without her noticing.

Bela moved from her seat and approached Dira and her friends. Their faces were frightened when they remembered Bela had beaten them to death in the classroom, immediately their lips fell silent and their bodies froze as if they did not know what he wanted to do.

"We'll see if I succeed or if it's just nonsense "Bela's answer while smiling cunningly at Dira.

This time Bela did not want to repay him with punches or violence because he wanted to be a good boy. Suddenly Beni appears behind him while cheering that Bela will become a famous painter and Beni will always support Bela until anytime.

Mario sees Beni's behavior he does not agree with him because Mario also wants to support Bela. Mario moves on and gets rid of Beni and he talks to Dira that Bela will be the best and most famous painter.

Dira is increasingly jealous to see Mario who is usually cold and quiet now instead becomes jolly and supports Bela. It was as if Mario had changed because of Bela and the more days Mario would hate Dira more and more.

" Okay let's see later I will challenge you in the race "It turns out Dira also has a hobby of painting. Even he had many flying hours, so he boasted like that.

Determined to beat Bea in the painting race, Bela only smiles because she knows that skill is not just from talk but from practice to the final result to be seen.

After school Bela again waiting for Alex and this time Mario off to do tutoring and he accompanied Bella waiting for her invitation.

"Bel are you happy with my sister?" Mario asked open the silence as the two of them sat at the stop waiting for Alex to pick up Bela.

Bela was silent her eyes were staring in any direction in search of an answer. He did not know what was on his mind and what was involved in his life.

All he knows is Bara is a good person even though sometimes he is emotional and attacks Bela to the brunt and Bela also almost died from Bara attacks. Bela also cannot say that Bara is cruel because he also sees the Good Side of Bara that no one else has ever felt is his attention secretly.

" Why are you asking that?" Not the answer that Mario got from Bela but the question again thrown at him.

"Let's just feel like you're not okay" Mario said.

Bela smiles while turning her eyes away she knows if Mario does not know the truth that Bela marrying Bara is a fake and is just a pact to make Oma happy.

But Bela feels if he is okay with BBara, whether it is real or a lie.

" No, I'm fine with him and I'm also happy to live in that house even though it sometimes feels lonely not as crowded as at home when I'm with you, mommy, and also mama Clara" said Bela.

" I actually wanted to tell you something, but I don't know where to start" Mario continued, then ventured to look at Bela. Likewise, Bela replied with the glare of her eyes that were filled with curiosity in Mario.

"Speak I'll calmly hear you, I hope you also calm your mind so that you can express What you want to talk to me about" Bela said calmly.

He did not want when Mario said something that made him think so anxious excessive and resulted in his disease relapse. Bela tries to hold Mario's hand to make sure that his best friend is okay.

Bela also calms so that Malio can speak according to his heart and not follow the words of others and also not think negatively excessively because it will affect his mental.

"Are you still nervous to talk to me, whereas we have been friends for a long time and I will always consider you my best friend" Bela said, smiling at her best friend sitting next to her.

"Why do I feel that Denada is present to you, and it feels like this self wants to always be close to you Bela" Mario said by gathering all his courage.

"Many say I look like Denada, but it's clear our faces are different. And Denada has a characteristic and I also have a characteristic. So we're different people, but if you think so then I wouldn't mind. And you take it easy I will always be by your side and be your best friend" Bela said.

Though it is not the answer that Mario wants to hear, but other answers related to love. Mario sees Bela not as his best friend but as a woman he likes.

Mario has really put his heart on Bela, but he is very difficult to say that. Her heart lies between the worries because she knows that Bela is the wife of her own brother.

" What if I like you?" Mario said again while holding Bela's hand tightly.

It was a great surprise for Bela he didn't understand why Mario said that. Though clearly Mario already knows that Bela already has a husband, namely his own brother.

But Bela also does not deny that he likes Mario even a little. Because all this time it feels like Bela does not want to like any man Even she herself does not know what love feels like.

For sure someone is able to bring himself to fly in happiness and surround beauty and so happy. Because all this time Bela only grasped the misery, his heart hopes that at the end of his life he will get happiness.
