Angel Guard Selena
One Umbrella

The day was getting late, the originally hot weather was suddenly cloudy dark. The wind blew a little hard, a sign that the rain would come down hard. The man standing on the balcony after taking care of the flowers began to stand in his grey hoodie, and began walking towards a bus stop not far from his apartment.

Yes, that man is Daniel. Some time earlier, she had tried to contact Selena with her phone, but the call went unanswered. Since it was raining soon and there was no word from Selena, Daniel took the initiative to wait for her at the city bus stop.

Daniel came out of his apartment and walked towards the stop, on the way it suddenly rained. He opened the umbrella he held. Wear an umbrella to protect yourself from rain. Daniel quickened his footsteps. Before arriving at the stop, he saw Selena who was running by lifting her hand bag above her head. Immediately, Daniel sped up his footsteps, and the girl this time had been one umbrella with Daniel.

The girl was shocked when suddenly a person wearing an umbrella stood in front of her. He then lowered the handbag from above his head, slowly raising his head up, their eyes against each other. Suddenly a smile rose on Selena's face.

"Daniel's.... Why are you here?"

Still with a look of disbelief as if to see Daniel wearing an umbrella and standing in front of him.

"I'm worried about you. I've been trying to reach you since, but you didn't pick up your phone at all. That's why I came here. I intend to wait for you at the bus stop, I think you will come home by bus. And, now it's raining heavily."

Selena did not imagine that Daniel again and again was so attentive to her. Then he immediately took the phone in his bag, he intended to check if Daniel was right to contact him. There are several calls and messages on the phone.

"Sorry Daniel, my phone has been in silent mode ever since. Even all day, only this time I held it. Sorry. I just found out that you called and sent me a message." .

Selena says the truth, she only thinks of answering her interview as best she can, after which a small incident occurs as she exits the elevator, meeting a cold man who makes her think of Daniel instead, then take the bus in the rain. He completely forgot the phone in his bag.

"It's okay Selena, just calm down. Hmm, but the next time I call you please answer my phone. If I send you, please reply to that message. Because. because I'm worried about you."

Selena looked at Daniel's face, a torrential rain as if hiding the two from the surroundings. He did not think that Daniel was worried about him. Was what he heard just now not wrong?

"Ehm. Yes Daniel. I'll answer your phone and reply to your message. Again, sorry."

"It's okay, Selena, what matters is that you're here now. And, I'm glad I found you here."

Daniel said as he stroked the top of Selena's head.

While Selena just stood looking at Daniel. His heart, which had been frozen, had slowly warmed since meeting Daniel. Although I have not known for a long time, it seems that all the attitudes and attention that Daniel gave were sincere.

The girl who had not felt this love for 25 years, slowly felt a flower in her heart. For the first time in his life, a man came along softly.

"Thank you Daniel." Said Selena solemnly.

"Sama-sama Selena, let's go while walking home. It's raining more and more, soon to get home safer."

The two then walked together in one umbrella. Daniel left more room for Selena under the umbrella in the rain. Daniel leaves his shoulder wet, as long as Selena is not wet. This is how we protect Selena.

"How was the interview? You can answer everything, right?" Daniel asked Selena who was walking beside him.

"Humayan, even though I was feeling groggy, but grateful to be able to answer the questions given."

"Then, when is the announcement of his acceptance?"

"Less knowing, they just said they'd email and call in person."

"Hmm, yeah. I hope so."

The two walked in one umbrella to her apartment. The heavy rain finally made Daniel and Selena take shelter for a moment. In the amperan shop house both are now sheltered even though the distance to his apartment lives several meters.

They stood next to each other towards the not too heavy rain, and the two would again walk towards the apartment. The dark sky suddenly emitted lightning with its voice thunderous. Selena shut her eyes and covered her ears as the thunderous roar of lightning roared.

"You afraid of Selena?"

Daniel turned his gaze to Selena.

"Hmm, yeah. Little."

"That's natural, because indeed many people are afraid of lightning."

"Yes. If it's regular rain I'm not afraid, but as soon as the lightning comes I feel scared."

"Why could that be?"

"Maybe when I was a kid, Mom and Dad used to fight, in the rain with lightning like this I felt alone. Yeah, the feeling of being left alone scares me."

Selena recalls her memories as a child, when the parents who were supposed to protect her often left her.

"Now don't be afraid of Selena. Because it's just lightning, believe me there are angels who look after you anytime and anywhere."

"Angel guard?"

"Yes, even if he's invisible but he's there to keep people forever."

Selena began to understand Daniel's every word. If only the guardian angel had been seen, Selena would have been far more grateful because she would have known for sure that there were people by her side to look after her.

"Hmm, yes."

Selena's face smiled with her hands outstretched feeling every drop of rain. It felt as cold as his heart, but the rain awaited all beings. Once the rain is over, the water will be full, the flowers will bloom. May the rain this time also seep a flower in his heart.

"The rain is starting to stop. You want to walk now?"

Daniel offers to return on a foot trip to the apartment as the rain starts to subside.

"Yes, can. Night hunt."

Selena nodded and began to prepare to walk with Daniel in one umbrella.

The two walked back on foot in an umbrella. Lunge every raindrop that comes down, step together. Selena was so calm back then, usually when the rain and lightning came, she was so sad. The shadow of the parents' quarrels and feelings of being left alone are now fading. Suppose that after this, the Creator made just one flower sprout in his heart. The girl will be very grateful.
