"I didn't take yours, Sal," Bella challenged. "Because in fact Farel was never yours!"
Now the eyes of Salsha and Bella collide. The two exchanged hostile glances. There is no longer Bella who is patient and silent when being bullied. Now Bella will reply.
"Stop making rumors that I take your property. Farel doesn't like you, Farel likes me!"
Sasha took one step forward. Her breath rose and fell. Her emotions peaked when she heard Bella's words. "Keep your words!"
"Even when I rejected Farel and gave you a chance to chase him, you couldn't!" Bella laughed mockingly. "Because Farel loves me, not you!"
Salsha was furious, she threw a slap right on Bella's right cheek. The anger she had been holding back for a long time finally overflowed.
Bella rubbed her aching face. Salsha's slap was quite hard. But Bella didn't want to show her weakness in front of Salsha.
"You talk as if you never robbed me of my happiness. You always robbed me of my happiness, snake girl."
"You want to talk about the past?" Bella laughed evilly. "Do you want to remind me that you are a sad girl whose love is always rejected by a boy?" challenged Bella.
Things that should not need to be remembered and debated again finally have to be discussed. Salsha always tries to reveal it to the surface.
"If you're still stuck there, when will your life move forward?" Bella said firmly. "You should think from there if what you hope for can't always be yours."
Dinda came out of the toilet and wanted to slap Bella, but Bella quickly blocked it. Bella looked at Dinda sharply. Dinda did not know what the real problem was.
"You don't have to interfere, you don't know anything," Bella sneered.
"You have a problem with Salsha, it means you have a problem with me!"
Bella pulled the corners of her lips up. "No wonder Indonesia is not progressing. People's minds are like the two of you, shallow!" Bella looked at Dinda and Salsha alternately. "I'm tired, Sal. I'm tired of being bullied all the time, you make fun of yourself all the time. I'm silent, not because I'm afraid of you, but I think that if I don't respond to your sarcasm, you'll get tired after a while. The more I keep quiet, the more outrageous you are."
Salsha was silent but her breath caught. Bella was getting more and more insolent.
"I still value you as my friend..."
"I don't want to have a treacherous friend like you!" cut off Salsha quickly before Bella continued her speech.
"Look, I'll cut it short." Bella gave up. She wanted to end this heated conversation. "Farel has never loved you, Sal. Farel loves me, I happen to have the same feelings for Farel. Where did I go wrong there? Unless Farel also loves you and I grab you, I'm tired of Farel, then I'm wrong. So that you understand, the harsh words are like this, Even if I am not in the midst of you and Farel, Farel will never love you. Your love is one-sided, with or without me!"
After saying the sick sentence, Bella left Salsha and Dinda.
Sasha's tears fell. All the words that Bella said were the truth, but Salsha didn't like the truth. The truth is that the person she loves never loved her and the courage that Bella always gets what she wants.
"Bastard!" Sasha cursed while wiping her tears.
Dinda, who did not understand their conversation, asked innocently. "Have you ever been friends with Bella?"
Salsha looked at Dinda sharply. "Shut up!"
*****
Bella wiped her unintentionally flowing tears. She knew her words had hurt Salsha's heart. Bella had to say that too. She is tired of always being blamed and cornered. As if what she did was always wrong in the eyes of Salsha.
Bella sighed and carved a fake smile on her lips. She didn't want Aldi or his other friends to know if she was crying or about his problems with Salsha. Bella didn't want their relationship to get worse.
Bella entered the classroom and smiled at Aldi. Then she sat on his chair. Aldi, who had been waiting for Bella, immediately approached the girl.
"Where did you come from to be almost half an hour late. Luckily the teacher didn't come in."
"Do you miss me? Even though it's only been a while, I just miss you already." Bella teases Aldi.
"Nonsense." Aldi chuckled. "But seriously, where have you been?"
Bella thought for a moment, Aldi was so concerned about her. Is the presence of Aldi beside him also making Salsha jealous? Does Salsha also not like it if she is close to Aldi. Bella immediately dismissed the bad thought. Salsha can't be jealous if Aldi is close to her.
"Eat in the cafeteria with Farel," Bella answered. "I should be the one asking you, where have you been. I was waiting for you in the cafeteria, you didn't come."
"Rooftop. I don't want to disturb your moment with Farel. The moment you've been waiting for, right?" Aldi teased Bella.
Bella's cheeks flushed and she lightly hit Aldi's arm. "No, what the hell, Aldi, it's not very clear."
Seeing Bella's blushing cheeks made Aldi tease him even more. "Isn't that right? Ciee will soon be dating Farel. I'm waiting for your taxes. Just be careful if you don't treat me."
"Uhh what the hell." Bella covered her face with her hands. Feeling embarrassed to hear Aldi's temptation.
"You have to remember, I was the one who made you come forward to accept Farel. Just be careful if you forget about me."
"Who were you with on the rooftop?" Bella asked changing the subject.
Aldi raised an eyebrow. "Are you changing the conversation?"
"Ihh answer," Bella urged.
"Same Dhika," replied Aldi. "Then invited to play basketball with him."
"Dika?" parrot Bella.
Aldi nodded. "Basketball too, right?"
Bella also nodded. "Farel's friend too," Bella remembered one thing about the boy named Dhika. "Want me to tell you a secret?"
"What secret?" asked Aldi curiously.
Bella glanced around and hadn't found Salsha in her class yet. Bella approached Aldi and whispered in the man's ear. "Dhika seems to like Salsha."
Aldi was surprised to hear Bella's words. Aldi thought that no man would like Salsha because of the girl's nature. But Dika? maybe Dhika needs to be taken for treatment to have his heart and eyes checked.
"Are you serious?"
Bella nodded again. "Not sure yet. But I often accidentally catch Dhika glancing at Salsha all the time. When I asked, Dhika was even shy as a cat."
One fact that surprised Aldi. Dhika can be the right person for Salsha to forget Farel and let the man be happy with Bella. Maybe Aldi can help Dhika to get close to Salsha.
Aldi saw Salsha enter the room with a puffy face. Aldi wants to ask about what happened to the girl but Aldi knows the situation, it's impossible for Aldi to ask in a room with a lot of people like this. Aldi doesn't want his friends to be surprised at him, because so far Aldi is only close and cares about Bella.
"Sal," called Aldi.
Salsha looked at Aldi with a questioning look. "What?"
"This afternoon we will work as a group at Drazz cafe. Can you do that?"
"Why all of a sudden, anyway?" Sasha refuses. She didn't want to meet and share a table with Bella, the snake girl.
"It's up to you whether you want to come or not. Bella and Dinda have also agreed. If you don't come, your name will not be written on the cover," said Aldi threateningly.
Salsha looked at Dinda who only pursed her lips, a sign that the girl already knew about the group work later.
Oh my God, Please help Salsha!
