Between Love and the Mafia
85. Beni's Problem

" How are you, are you okay" Bara asked Alex.

"I'm fine" Alex gently answered Bara's question and smiled.

Bela knows that Alex has a problem but she pretends to be okay with her best friend. Because Bara doesn't know exactly what Alex is dealing with.

Alex faces a fear between guilt and responsibility for her future as she has betrayed her lover Cintia's love. While Cintia is pregnant with the child of a man who has been meng*s*nya abroad.

"Where were you last night, how could you leave me alone "the sharp eyes of Alex was probing at Bara because he felt abandoned last night by Bara and Bela.

" I ate outside just to get some fresh air "soo calm.

Then Alex turned his gaze to Bela who made him misbehave until immediately Bela fell silent without saying much more and focused on the food to be spent on the plate.

"It's great that you go out, just so often that I'm lonely" Alex showed an annoyed look at the two lovebirds who had left him last night.

"Have not said much, just eat" Bara said while continuing to eat.

A few minutes later the breakfast had finished Bela cleared it all up. Bela immediately ran to pick up the bag and prepared herself to go to school.

" Yes still at this hour, Relax first not the "Bela who was in a hurry now is relaxed to take her things after seeing that she still has a long time.

Not forgetting he put his pocket money as usual into savings, because Bela wants to go see his best friend, Roy. A few minutes later Bela got out and immediately got into the car waiting for Alex to leave for school.

* gubrak* Bela was stunned when the one who entered the car was not Alex but Bara.

" Mister Why did you get in this car, where did Alex's sister" asked Bela while looking around because usually the one who drove the school was Alex not Bara.

" Bela went with Bara yes, because I still have business" Alex suddenly appeared and put half of his body into the window just to talk to Bela.

While Bela can't do anything because in reality Alex wants out to do an affair. So Bela had to go with Bara even though he did not like it.

For a moment Bela was silent and then looked at Bara like a child displaying his lesion.

" It looks like you're so exhausted, sir, I'd better get on the bus and you'll just take a break" that thought just passed through Bela because she really did not want to go to school with Bara.

Especially in his mind still remembering the events of that morning with so many Bara kisses floating on his cheeks. The kiss disappeared, but the annoying taste still lingered in Bela's heart.

" You shut up, today I will drive you to the front of the school gate" without saying much Bara immediately drove his car. Either way Bela felt as if her master had changed more precisely 110 degrees from his usual nature.

Actually it was very strange for Bela even though on an ordinary day Bela wanted warmth but this time the warmth was given and made Bela's mind fly again.

As if Bela disagrees with Bara's warm treatment and considers Bela like her own family. Though in ordinary days Bara was cold but this time the cold attitude was still there but seemed to be ruled out by Bara.

" How's your school? " Bara again opened the silence in the car and asked about Bela's school.

"Well, I love going to school because there are many friends" Bela said with her cheerful face and then suddenly Bela looked back at Bara's face in silence.

It would seem very strange if a Bara questioned it because it is unlikely that the question that refers to attention can be spoken by Bara.

"Why do you look at me like that, do you like me? " said Bara confidently making. Bela instantly averted her gaze and stared out.

Not that Bela stared at Bara's good looks but settled the strangeness that was being shown by his master. In order not to say much, Bela pretended to close her eyes until she headed to school.

Bela did not want to argue anymore by discussing the matter because she still felt annoyed with the annoying arrogant master beside her.

"Again he pretended to be asleep" Bara cried inwardly while watching Bela at a glance. Then he returned to his driving concentration.

Not long after, their car arrived in front of the school. It turned out that Bela was really asleep. Though earlier he only pretended to sleep but in fact fell asleep to enter into a short dream.

The embers who saw it immediately helped Bela to open the seat belt that was binding on her body.

"Aaaa" Shouted Bela loudly.

Bela is shocked when Bara faces her face because she does not know if Bara is trying to open Bela's seat belt. Bara was also surprised by the shout, then he looked at Bela with a cynical look.

"Be quiet, I'm helping you unlock this seatbelt" Bara explained as she opened Bela's seatbelt.

Hearing that Bela immediately breathed a sigh of relief, because she was traumatized if Bara returned to kiss Bela. Bela was still frozen in place due to the shock earlier, she thought back flying about Bara.

"Didn't you want to come down? " The embers brought her face closer to Bela so that the girl's body spontaneously moved away even though not too far from the glare of the lion's eyes from Bara.

"I'll go down, don't come near sir. I'll be down soon, look at me going down" Bela said repeatedly and was also so nervous that she repeatedly said something she had already said. His hands were busy to open the car door but still it felt very difficult.

"Don't come near" cried Bela with a traumatized look on Bara's lips.

"Be quiet, you're very noisy. I was just helping you open the door" Bara immediately helped open Bela's door even though she was still sitting on her own stool.

"It turns out he was so scared of me, just be aware that later I will become a ferocious lion for you little girl" Bara smiled as she looked at Bela's steps that would soon disappear upon entering the school. Just drive the car to hurry away.

But Mario was watching that so that a pair of eyes brother and sister each other without a sense of fraternity is serene. One stared in annoyance and the other stared indifferently.

So hateful are the two brothers without little communication. As if it could be said that the two of them had broken up to communicate since Denada's death even though they still kept their respective numbers.

But the number is only a temporary display on their phone unless there is an emergency possible, surely one will contact and slightly put aside their ego.

"Is Bela okay with him? I don't know why I'm always worried about Bela" Mario murmured inwardly as he stared at the passing Bara's car.

Almost every day Mario thinks that Bela is insecure. As well as the concerns will always grow in Mario's heart, so almost every day Mario sends a message to Bela.

Although the message only contains a short about the question of school lessons or about the state of Bela. It is very difficult to find a topic of conversation on Bela, because Mario himself is the type of person who is quiet and does not have the experience to conquer the heart of women.

"Arn" cried Bela as she saw Beni in the classroom.

Bela immediately approached Beni and pulled her out of the classroom because there was something to talk about. Bela just wants to know about Beni's problem in order to help her.

For those who have problems must want a shoulder to lean tired in the darkness and silence that is being faced.

"Follow me fast" Bela said as she pulled Beni's arm.

"Where? " Task Beni in surprise, because she doesn't know where Bela will take her.

"Shut up, come with me" Bela kept pulling Beni as far as possible.

Meanwhile, their classmates were astonished by Bela's behavior. Moreover, his two best friends are Brandon and Sela, they look full of wonder and wonder in his mind.

The eyes of his two best friends give a sharp spotlight full of probing, but they choose silence because they know that Bela is having business with Beni. So they chose not to interfere with it.

"Where are you going? " Task Mario as they cross paths in the hallway of the classroom.

"Not anywhere, wait for me in class. I'll talk to you later Mario" Bela said, because he just wants to talk to Beni alone.

"I'm coming" Mario will never let Bela alone with Beni. Because jealousy will always appear in Mario.

"No, come back" cried Bela full of emphasis. Then pull Beni's hand back and bring her. Meanwhile Beni smiled cunningly as if to say that he managed to be alone with Bela without Mario.

Mario's face was very upset about it, let alone seeing Beni's smile that featured victory. It was like Mario was chasing them, but suddenly a teacher called him to the teacher's room.

So Mario only resigned to see the incident even though his heart was not willing to see them go alone. What a sad morning for Mario, broken by his brother and also his classmates just because of one woman, Bela.

"Sit down, I want to talk to you" Bela took Beni up to the school building. They are both on the roof, because Bela just wants Beni to open up to her. Because from yesterday Bela always thought about Beni who betgelut with his problem.

"Why did you bring me here, Bela? " Beni's face is full of question marks. Because he didn't know what the girl he loved was doing.

"You why? Is there a problem? " Bela's face looks very serious mixed with worry over Beni's problem. Although he knows Beni has a problem, but completely Bela does not know what problems are rotating in Beni's life.

"No, there's nothing. I'm fine" Beni lied, he didn't want his problem to be known to many people.

"You're lying, if you're okay it's impossible to skip school. I know that the problems in life are very difficult to tell others, but I just want to help you Beni "tutur soft Bela while holding both cheeks Beni.

It was as if her hands determined that Beni should look into her sincerity-filled eyes, because Bela now is not only to help Beni but to build a weak mentality even though his own mentality is also sometimes faltered by the exposure of life and never know how the next direction.

Hearing Bela's words, Beni's heart felt melted with soft words full of sincerity. Because all this time Beni only lives alone without any truly sincere affection from someone. This time he got that sincerity from Bela.

" I was a pick-me-up boy every day Dad was always yelling and hitting me. He always came home drunk so I came out of the house even though in my heart I could not bear to see the mother who was always the target to vent father's emotions" Beni ventured to tell Bela.

Many say if there is always a place for us to complain but the place is not necessarily whether it is safe or not to tell complaints to strangers.

But this time Beni did, because Beni had no place to lean. All the restless and tired he held his own without anyone knowing. And this time Beni poured it all out on Bela.

Beni also thought about a life that really died, therefore Beni covered it with laughter that he always poured from the look of his silly face. Just to eliminate the problem he had been hugging all this time.

"Do you know where your parents are? " Bela is increasingly curious about Beni, because there is no way her parents just give Beni to strangers.

"They're still alive, but they've never seen me. They were overseas, but never gave me a mobile number to call" Beni said.

Suddenly Beni's tears fell slowly. Her body felt extremely shattered, as the person who gave birth to her had dumped her for a dozen years.

Even Beni can only see his biological parents through photos. Every time Beni pleaded with her foster parents, it must have been a blow she would get from her father's hands, whereas her mother could only fall silent and close her eyes.

Because his mother only attach importance to the relationship between husband and wife remains intertwined without any quarrel so that his mother never defended Beni even though the blow continues to rain on his body.
