Part 4

Today is a school holiday. Bella, aulia and ben plan to meet at a national library in Jakarta.

This sunny morning makes some lazy people get out of bed, plus holidays and Bella feels it. Bella just woke up then she looked at the clock on the wall in her room, the clock showed 08.05, she started to sigh softly then bella gathered her strength to get out of bed.

Even though it's hard for bella to have still to wake up because she has an appointment with Aulia and Ben at the national library at 10. Bella starts to come out of her room and she sees that her house looks very lonely, Bella starts scratching the back of her neck and rubbing her eyes.

Bella walked to the dining table to see if there was food or not. Evidently, no fried rice covered with plastic wrap and it appears there was a note attached in a plastic. Bella took the notes and began reading each word for word.

Bella, you have some business today. So you have to go, here's Nasi Goreng for you and there's pocket money for you under the plate. Be careful later if you want to go. I'll be home late in the evening, and you don't come home until the night

Dion

That's the contents of the note, Bella lifted her plate and saw there was money there. Engraved with a thin smile on Bella's lips, she immediately took the money and started eating fried rice that Dion had made.

When finished, Bella immediately got ready to go to the national library.

...

National Library of Indonesia

This is where Bella, dressed in simple black pants, a blue shirt with a backpack on her back, is waiting for Aulia and Ben at the entrance to the national library. That's right, Bella first got to the library before Ben and Aulia. Bella saw her watch showed 10 o'clock. Bella started to sigh softly.

"Where are they" muttered Bella. Bella is a punctual person, so she is never late for an appointment. Bella didn't want to wait and it felt like she wanted to go in first to find the material for her report so that it could be completed more quickly and she could lie back on the bed, but because this was the group's task, Bella gave up the intention.

"Hhh ~ I'm trying to contact them" muttered Bella. Then she took her cellphone and tried to call Aulia.

When Bella was calling Aulia, someone tapped her on the shoulder, making Bella shocked. He immediately stepped away from the person behind her and looked at him fearfully.

"It's me" bella stroked her chest in relief because the person turned out to be Ben.

Ben is seen wearing skinny black jeans with a black shirt with a dark gray bomber jacket and his right hand carrying a drinking glass. Ben looks utterly different from what you saw at school.

"Why did you just come? " Asked Ben suddenly. Bella was a little confused by Ben's question because what she knew, Bella was the one who arrived earlier than Ben.

"I-I've come from there" replied Bella who was a little nervous, Ben nodded his head not answering back Bella's words and it made Bella a bit annoyed with Ben.

Then Bella remembered because she tried to contact Aulia earlier, then Bella looked back at her cellphone. Seen a message from aulia, Bella immediately read it.

Bella I'm sorry, I suddenly couldn't because of family matters, and I forgot to tell you. I am sorry

Bella sighed, her eyes now glanced at Ben, who was busy looking at his cellphone with his mouth continuing to sip his drink. Bella is a little panicked because now she is alone with Ben. There are a lot of gossips that Ben is a bad boy. Actually, she doesn't want to believe it, but now because of the position she is alone with Ben, she begins to feel the rumor.

"Where is aulia?" asked Ben. Bella immediately looked at Ben who was now staring at her too. Bella becomes very nervous, knowing that she is alone with Ben. Ben starts sighing softly when he finds out that Bella looks nervous.

"Why are you always nervous? I'm just asking where aulia? Bella clenched her hands, and she tried to dare herself to speak.

"That .. she.. she said he could not come because suddenly there was a family matter" Bella's answer made Ben sigh, then Ben walked into the library without waiting for Bella.

Bella who was left by Ben, was immediately confused then Bella followed Ben from behind.

...

While walking to the library of him, they just quietly. No one opened their voice first. For Bella, it was very awkward. Even though Bella is happy because Ben has no one to chat with, but I don't know why it makes Bella feel awkward

Plus this is the first time Bella went alone with a man. Usually, she went alone or with her brother's dion.

They also started looking for an empty table, and it turns out that today many people come to the library, so they get a table at the corner near the window.

Bella started to put her bag on the table, while Ben sat on the available bench. Bella just realized that Ben didn't have a bag. She sighed softly.

'He doesn't intend on group work huh?' In Bella's heart, Ben threw his drink in the trash and started wiping his hands on Bella's bag. When you saw Ben wiping his hands on Bella's bag it made Bella a little annoyed.

"Why did you wipe it in my bag?" Bella asked in a slightly annoyed tone, and ben chuckled at that.

"Finally, you're not nervous anymore" said Ben then got up and walked to the place where they were looking for the report material. Bella who saw Ben who walked first only snorted in annoyance.

"Did he do it on purpose? Hhh ~ "Bella let out a long sigh, then bella followed ben from behind.

While they were busy looking for materials, Bella glanced at Ben who seemed very serious about reading a book.

'He's not as bad as the rumors' in Bella's heart. Then suddenly Ben came over to him.

"This" said Ben while giving the 3 books he was holding. Bella took it and looked at the book.

"Take it first. We'll talk later."

"Oh ~ okay" replied bella, Ben continued to look for the book, but his lips grinned broadly when he was a little away from Bella. Then Bella realized something was up.

'wait a minute. Why did he tell me to bring his book? Why doesn't he bring it himself?! ' Bella thought, then she glanced sharply at Ben, who looked grinning widely.

'Turns out he's teasing me ' bella started snorting irritably.

Bella doesn't believe it, and this is the first time someone is pranking her, Bella seems to have to be patient with Ben, who she thinks is very annoying and ignorant. Bella sighed and then continued to look for material to be used as material for the report. Even though her hands were full of 5 books, Bella was lazy to return to the table, and finally, Bella brought the books while looking for other materials.
