Between Love and the Mafia
87. Happy Birthday Bara's

Not long after, Mario returned and brought food to his three friends who had time to rest and buy food.

"Eat" Mario brings plenty of food from the cafeteria to his three best friends. Without thinking long Brandon and Sela directly devoured it, while Bela was still in lazy mode because she finished sleeping for a while.

Fortunately Mario was sensitive to Bela's hunger so he ran to the cafeteria to shop for food. Not to forget also for Sela and Brandon.

Meanwhile Beni is not okay. He who is usually always active and cheerful is now always out of class in a state of gloom without much talk. No one knows the problem except Bela. But Bela was always good at keeping those secrets.

"Heyyy, the announcement" The doorbell had not yet rang, suddenly Dira took the grip of the story and entered the class making a scene in the whole class with her face like winning the lottery.

Dira stood in front of the class to announce something. His eyes slightly glanced at Bela like there was something she was hiding and revealing. Because it looks clear the sneaky smile from Dira's lips seems like his true nature will come out in a moment.

Meanwhile they all fell silent to listen to the announcement that was being brought by Dira. Because the class has a very high curiosity.

"Just tell me what announcement you're bringing, soon the bell will ring" shouted one of the students who was impatient with the announcement. Because Daritadi Dira only gave a sneaky smile without talking directly about the announcement he brought.

"Alright dear friends, I will give the announcement" said Dira with emphasis.

The spotlight was immediately fixed on Bela who was sitting beside Mario while staring at Dira. Mario understands that Dira is going to make a fuss back in his class. Seen from the glare of the eye it was ready to pounce on something from Bela. Mario is also wary of it because he doesn't want Dira to do anything silly that would embarrass Bela again.

"Mario, sit down" Bela held Mario's hand when she saw he wanted to stand up and approach Dira who was in front of the class.

Bela explained that she had to listen to the announcement of what Dira wanted to say to find out more about the nonsense story she was carrying. Mario obeyed Bela so he tried to calm down.

"Alright, you heard well that our friend Bela. He's married! " Bela's eyes glared when she heard the statement from Dira.

Bela did not expect Dira to say that to the entire class. Bela tries to be calm so that no one knows that the words from Dira are the truth.

Mario who listened to that was also surprised. Although he hates his brother, Mario still loves Bela and keeps his personal life a secret.

"She already has a husband but still has no shame because she left school as if she were a teenager instead. Though she has become the wife of people" Dira's arrogance to heat the emotions of the students who are in the classroom.

All the students who heard that felt disbelief in what Dira said, because he knows Bela is a jolly girl and likes to joke a lot but in fact she is a wife of the man who married her.

" How can you tell Dira, whether she's already done." another student's voice reluctantly continued the statement.

Their thoughts have led to vital things such as conjugal relations and some think that Bela is not a girl anymore because she is no longer a virgin.

"Obviously I know because he's really so disgusting " said Dira gave a cynical look at Bela because she was sure her statement would make Bela shattered into pieces and would also make Bela fall by itself.

In fact, you could say he wanted Bela out of school because he was embarrassed after hearing the statement of the secret he kept himself.

"What's so good about Dira, do you think your friends will believe your ridiculous essay? Meanwhile you yourself have no hard evidence if I have a husband instead" Bela puffed her chest boldly as she was sure she would have no proof even though her heart was still tight to hear the statement. Because Dira's speech is a hidden truth.

But Bela is sure that he can fight Dira without having to divulge the secret of Dira or even harm him, because the revenge bals done with similar deeds will make no difference to the bad guy.

Bela also added her calm face while walking up to Dira.

While he could not answer the question from Bela because Dira himself did not have any evidence. Dira only sees when Bela is escorted by Bara to school and also meets at that time at a dining restaurant, so she assumes that Bara is Bela's husband. But Dira did not hold the certainty of what he had spread and now he has the courage to speak nonsense without any solid evidence.

"Betul says Bela. Why do you just shut up Dira, you should answer Bela's statement. Moreover, you are just talking nonsense without stating evidence and making the class situation become rowdy like this" Sela shouted in favor of Bela.

He deliberately provokes his classmates to make Dira ashamed of his own deeds. Although he himself also did not know what was really happening but Sela still supported Bela and would not stop with her stance.

"True Sela, and it's better to keep quiet than to embarrass yourself" Brandon said with a face of anger. Because he did not want one of his best friends to be humiliated like that by Dira who has a spicy mouth and talk a lot but without strong and firm evidence.

Brandon immediately stood up and told Dira to sit in his place and he also again said that Dira must be quiet so as not to embarrass himself so as to make a mess in the classroom.

Because the silent Dira is gold if Dira talks a lot is wasted gold, so Brandon said with full emphasis on Dira.

The class uproar ended with the calmness associated with the arrival of the bell that rang loudly. While Dira still has a personal grudge against Bela and he promises himself that he will look for evidence that Bela is married and will spread the evidence.

Bara's Birthday

Because they both want to bring Baratha's extended family and surprise Bara with a very special taste.

In the morning Bela relaxed in her room without speaking anything about Bara, similarly, Alex does not want to talk about anything with Bara because they both have agreed to silence Bara before the wedding party tonight will arrive.

"So, do you have a plan? " call for Alex who is relaxing in the yard. He came out secretly so as not to cross paths with his master who was having a special day at that time,

"Obviously I have a plan, you calm down and follow the story. If you can just sit back and relax because I've arranged everything" Alex smiled as he showed his pranks. Because he has prepared this special thing for his best friend who is on his birthday.

" Alex, Alex come here. Where are you" Alex and Bela are not done talking, and Bara's voice has been heard with a loud scream from the upper room with a face that worries something.

Hearing that Alex smiles at Bela as if giving her energy that the plan has been going on for a while and tells Bela to tell her to tell Abara that Alex is leaving. Though he would go inside through the back room of the house to hide because he did not want to talk to Bara.

" Don't I not want to talk to Mr. Bara either, but why did you tell me to meet him too Brother Alex" Bela disagrees with the plan because she also does not want to talk to Bara before the celebration of the party begins. His face was slightly irritated when he heard the order from Alex that he really did not want to do.

" You'll have to follow my way otherwise things won't go smoothly "Alex tries to convince Bela to do the spoken commands for both of their plans to go smoothly.

Until finally Bela agreed, but after he saw Bara's nose, Bela finally ventured to meet Bara. His steps slowly advanced calmly and he told Bara that Alex was not home because he went outside.

Nela's face was so convincing that she managed to paint her master until finally Bara also went out of the house while carrying a car with a face that was so angry.

"Thank God I made it, it looks like he wants to go somewhere but what Alex's plan is this time" Bela wonders in herself because she doesn't know what Bara is going to do and also she doesn't know what plans Alex is hiding.

The question that kept on struggling in his head, then Bela went to Alex's hideout and asked it so that Alex told him all his plans.

"Just calm down he'll definitely be back because I've made a fuss at his base" Alex told Bela.

"Base, what is your job?Isn't he the CEO? " all this time Bela did not know if Bara was a ruthless mafia.

Because the one who knows that the master is a CEO who owns the company because oma once told Bela that.

Alex was surprised because his mouth slipped said headquarters.

The headquarters also pertains to a mobster or someone who keeps a gun. For a moment Alex was silent to find a reasonable answer so that Bela would not suspect him.

"I mean the headquarters or storage warehouse in his company" Alex looks very nervous for fear that his identity is known to the girl in plain front of him. But in the end he managed to say it with a little calm despite being overwhelmed by many questions from Bela's speech.

For a moment Bela was silent and then he understood that the headquarters that Alex said was the warehouse of the Bara company was not the headquarters that stored an illegal item.

At night all the lights of the middle room were turned off Bara's face was staring with confusion when she came home from the headquarters of her weapon. His face was also very upset because the betrayal told by Alex was a lie, because Bara had checked it herself the fact that her best friend was working on it.

"Awas only if I find him, I'll curl his head" Bara grumbled with an annoyed look, his face was also even more upset when he saw the lights of the middle room were off and as if there was no life in the house.

"Defend where you are, why not turn on the light "Chanted loudly until the sound echoed in the room.

Bara searched throughout the room using a flashlight hp because the room was really very dark.

" Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you" the birthday song is sung by the Baratha family and simultaneously the lights are also lit brightly visible oma, Klara, Mario, and others, Alex and Bela sing the song to celebrate Bara's birthday. Bara smiled to put his emotions aside as he looked at Oma and immediately hugged her.

"When oma comes, I miss oma very much" said softly Bara while hugging oma peacefully.

Bela smiled at Bara's painted laughter because for Bela her pleasure was to see the smile hangers from her master's arrogant lips. Bela hates the cold nature of Bara and even hates when Bara is silent.

Birthday celebrations are very simple but make Bara's heart feel very happy because all this time the celebration is what he missed. Because since Denada's death the Baratha family seemed to be silent in their minds without having to do happiness but this time happiness came back in their families and one of them celebrated Bara's birthday.

Although Bara himself did not want to celebrate the birthday because the celebration reminded him of Denada. Every Bara celebrates his birthday, Denada will definitely be the first to say that and he will be very enthusiastic to celebrate.

Do not even forget the gift given Denada is a simple gift but always Bara remember that small key chain that has always been Bara's collection. Because Denada really likes to give the key chain to him so he keeps it in the room and until anytime will never be able to replace Denada.

"Lord thank You for giving me happiness again even though I really miss Denada " Bara put his face up like he was having a dialogue with his Lord to ask for a smile from his late brother who was calm in heaven.
