It's a hot day. After getting off the plane, I wanted to refresh my thirst with a cold drink. While walking past several stalls, I decided to stop by an ice cream stall. "Ice cream chocolate with almonds please," I ordered the waiter. I also enjoyed ice cream while looking around. This town seems to have changed a lot, I thought.
In a different place.
"Triiing....", the voice of the phone.
After receiving the call he immediately rushed to leave his friends and lunch.
"To the airport, now," he told the driver. Then he called someone "Scatter people throughout the airport, find Belle immediately".
Arriving at the airport, he also joined the search. After some time of searching, he saw Belle in a stall enjoying her ice cream. He sighed and said "I found it". Smiling he sat in front of Belle's chair.
"Surely my brother contacted you right!?", asked Belle. "Hmm.." he replied.
"Finish your ice cream, then we go home", he continued.
"Where we going home?" she asked.
"To my house, as long as your brother hasn't come back, you stay with me," he continued as he stood up.
"No, I want to live in my own apartment, after all we are not relatives, what do people say if we live together, I also don't want to be a third person between you," said Belle.
While bringing his face closer to Belle's face, he said "if I was still with her, grandpa would not ask me to get engaged to you," he continued.
"Brother Alpha ...... sorry,"
"You don't need to use it brother, you are my fiancé now, just call me by name," he said flatly.
Alpha took Belle and they headed for the car. On the way, Belle, who was tired from the long journey, fell asleep. But she was trying to stay awake.
Arriving at home.
"You rest first, I'll go back to the office," Alpha said before leaving.
Belle headed to the room that had been provided. After unpacking the contents of the suitcase and tidying up her things, Belle fell asleep.
At night.
Belle, who woke up because she was hungry, went to the kitchen. She only found bread and milk and some fruit. She shook her head then exhaled and said, "hope to have brother Christo here, the fridge won't be empty". Then Belle poured milk in a glass and took a sip.
Belle walked over to a photo and then spoke to the photo.
"Hey Arthur, how are you, I'm back, are you lonely there, if you're lonely you can talk to my parents, oh yeah, tell them I'm fine, tell them I miss all of you guys" she said smiling and walked away.
Alpha watched Belle from afar, he asked himself "I didn't take her from you, did I Arthur?,"
The next day.
"Morning..." said Belle, "Morning" Alpha replied
"What are your plans for today?" Alpha asked
"Hmmm......" Belle shook her head "Want to stay at home, still tired" she continued
"I have to go to the office, call me if you need something" Alpha said then he left.
Belle, who was getting bored, then took a walk looking at Alpha's house. She arrived at a room she was very familiar with, Arthur's room.
Remembering back when they used to play together when they were children to teenagers. Then when Belle cried incessantly when Arthur was gone. Those memories came and went. Belle still remembers all the things they did. Smiling then crying and fell asleep in Arthur's room.
"What time is it?" Belle woke up and went out. Alpha looks serious with a laptop and several sheets of paper in his hand. As Belle came down the stairs Alpha said "go get ready we have dinner out."
Arriving at a restaurant.
Alpha chooses the menu they will eat. "Put down your phone, eat first" said Alpha. Coming home from the restaurant Belle wants to stop by a supermarket. They also shop. When going back Alpha looked at someone then said to himself "why did she come back?" then got into his car and drove away.
When they got home, they took out groceries and put things together. "What are you doing today?" asked Alpha suddenly. "Nothing," replied Belle. "Are you get bored, want to go out?" continued Alpha. "Want to where my parents & Arthur, but....." Belle muttered. "Huh?" Alpha asked. "No, nothing" she continued and walked to her room.
"So when you coming, I get bored if didn't do anything" Belle said to someone on the phone. "This week everything is done, wait a little more" someone answered.

"What am I doing now" thought Belle, "Oh ya, there is a park near here, let's go there".
This afternoon was not too hot, Belle walked to the nearest minimarket then headed for the park. In the park she saw a kitten. Belle asked the kitten to play, soon Belle returned to the minimarket to buy something.
"Here, let's have lunch together," said Belle while giving food to the kitten and she had lunch in the park.
Shortly after, Alpha called and asked where she was. "What are you doing here" he said, "I should be the one asking, what are you doing here, it's working hours" Belle replied, "Lunch time" continued Alpha. Belle gave her bento to Alpha. "Here, eat," she said. Alpha looked around in confusion. "Why?" she asked. "How do i eat here?" Alpha was confused. After looking around, Belle came up with an idea. "Wait here" Belle ordered. Shortly after, Belle returned with a small chair. Belle told him to sit on the little chair and then use a park bench instead of a table. Alpha felt a little strange, but followed and enjoyed his meal.
When Belle was drinking, Alpha approached her. Belle turned around, then asked "you want it". Alpha looked down for a moment then suddenly hugged Belle. Belle who was shocked, tried to escape, but was held back by Alpha "just a moment, let's just stay like this for a while". Belle was just silent and do nothing
This afternoon, Alpha was having lunch with her client. When finished and about to leave, suddenly someone greeted and took his hand then smiled and said "miss me". Alpha let go of her hand. Turns out his friends were there too. They chat together.
While chatting with his friends, Alpha saw someone he knew walking past the restaurant he was in. Alpha smiled then left his friends. Alpha approached her then they walked together and left the restaurant. His friends also felt strange about Alpha's attitude and then asked each other who the girl was and her relationship with Alpha.
"You should have said you were going for a walk" said Alpha, Belle smiled.
They walked together while chatting, looking around, observing people passing by and didn't forget to buy street food. Even Alpha ignored his cell phone ringing. Before going home, Belle wants to stop by the park to feed the little cat.
"Thank you" Belle said before entering her room and Alpha answered with a smile.
Another day.
When Belle entered the house, she was surprised to see a woman cooking in the kitchen. "Wait, I will prepare your favorite food," said the woman without looking at who she was talking to. "Who are you?" asked Belle then the woman turned around and said "I should be the one asking you" replied the woman.
"I'm Belle, I live here".
"Oh ya, I remember," said the woman, hugging Belle suddenly. Belle who was surprised just silent.
"Do you remember me, I'm Brenda, we're not close, but I used to see you and Arthur a lot, you guys are very close, I like seeing you two." Brenda let go of the hug and returned to her cooking.
"Does Alpha know you're here?"
"I wanted to surprise him" Brenda replied with a smile.
Belle left Brenda and returned to her room. He sent a message to Alpha "Hurry home, someone is waiting for you"
"Where are you going, Belle, accompany me to chat while waiting for Alpha, then we'll have dinner together," said Brenda
"I'm going out for a bit, I have something to do" Belle walked away leaving Brenda alone.
Upon opening the door, Alpha was surprised by the welcome he received. Brenda came over to him and hugged Alpha.
"Why don't you ever call me, I miss you," Alpha paused for a moment then released himself from Brenda's arms and sat on a sofa without saying a word. Brenda walked up to him and invited him into the dining room for dinner.
"Surprise, I've prepared all your favorite foods," Brenda said with a smile. Alpha stood up from his seat and was about to leave. "Where are you going?" Brenda restrained Alpha. "Want to call Belle" Alpha answered coldly. "Belle went out she said she had something she wanted to do," explained Brenda. "Eat first, I'll look for it," Alpha left.
It turned out that Belle had gone to the park to play with the kitten.
