He's Not A Bad Boy
Chapter 14 - Guarding It from Far Away

Days kept changing until it didn't feel like a week had passed since Khaira and Boy were asked to stay away from each other by Zafran. Now the man has never again revealed the trunk of his nose, as it is lost in the swallow of the earth.

That afternoon after school, Khaira chose the fall in front of the TV with Shaza while waiting for his working hours later in the afternoon. However, there is something different from Khaira this time, he is no longer as happy as before, even he often daydreams.

"Ra, I noticed lately you so often daydream, if riding a motorcycle also like to see the rearview mirror, what is it? Are you looking for Boy?"

Khaira then turned to his best friend when he heard the name Boy at the end of the sentence. "No, I'm okay, I'm just tired lately" replied Khaira, of course it's just an excuse that comes to mind for now.

To be honest, Khaira was also not very understanding of what she was feeling lately, as if she was losing her spirit and cheerfulness, for whatever reason. Lie if he does not look for Boy, because he unconsciously began to think often about the man.

Khaira clearly knew, he should not think of a man who was not his mahram, moreover, he was a man who was not approved by his father. But what can he do?

Khaira is just a girl who is entering the stage of puberty, where slowly her heart begins to be attracted to the opposite sex, she has tried to avoid and forget, but the more she tries to forget, the more she tries to forget, the more memories appeared in his mind. Even so, he gave all the affairs of his heart to God before the devil took over his heart.

"Are you sure it's okay?" shaza asked, he was a little worried about the state of his best friend this time. The friendship that they had established since Elementary School made Shaza know Khaira well, so he could know easily if his best friend was lying.

"Yes, I'm fine" replied Khaira smiling.

"I'm sorry, Ra, actually Boy hasn't gone away, he's been around you and looking after you from afar, he even asked me to take care of you at school, but I can't tell you because I promised her, "inner Shaza.

On the other hand, as usual, Boy was sitting in a cafe not far from Khaira's house. Every day after he came home from school and after following Khaira who also came home from school, Boy would rest and eat lunch at the cafe while keeping Khaira who was at home at that time, until Khaira goes to work at his father's cafe, Boy will follow him from afar.

"Boss, how long are you gonna keep him like this?" ask Ifan who occasionally accompanies the activities of the boss.

"I will keep looking after him until the brandals stop bothering him" Boy said.

He recalled that a week ago, there was only a way Brandalz's gang could harm Khaira, but no matter how they tried to harm the girl, always managed to fail by Boy secretly.

"But, Boss, however you have to rest, if you continue like this you can get tired and even fall sick," said Ifan.

"You think I'm a sick man, I won't get sick just because of this, take it easy," Boy said, sipping a cup of Americano that was still smoking.

"Are you okay, boss?" ask Ifan carefully.

"Of course, look at my body, everything's fine, right?" boy answered, raising his hands to the side and showing his muscles as a sign that he is fine.

"I'm not talking about your body, but your heart, Boss."

Instantly, Boy's hand that was raised immediately came down. "What's wrong with my heart, I'm fine" he replied flatly but in contrast to the look in his eyes that implied sadness.

Ifan let out a rough breath, then patted Boy on the shoulder. He knew the difficulties faced by the boss, even he thought after being asked to stay away, Boy would really stay away. In fact, he simply disappeared from Khaira's sight, but he did not remove Khaira from his sight.

Ifan exhales violently, wanting to ban Boy, but nevertheless, he still has to respect his decision, despite some of their motorcycle gang's routine agenda such as touring, racing, racing, and hanging out at the nightclub has to be temporarily delayed.

"Ifan, I'm going first." Boy immediately got up from his seat when he saw Khaira coming out of the house and preparing to go to work.

Seeing the attitude of the boss who really changed since knowing Khaira, Ifan again can only understand, because he realized love can indeed change everything, including hard-hearted and cold-hearted men like Boy who instantly turned into warm and attentive men. However, that only applies when it comes to Khaira alone, besides that Boy remains as loud as ever.

"Why is he still able to go to school quietly, brother? He said, Brother wants to help me harm him, so where's the evidence?" A girl's voice rang out inside her room.

"Patience, Mother. All this time brother and sister's friends have been trying to make a plan to make him wretched, but somehow always fail." Anton tried to calm his brother down. He was also confused because all this time his efforts to harm Khaira always failed.

"Say your plan is not good, so always fail."

"Ma-sorry, Brother, Silvi is just frustrated because it is soon midterm exam but Khaira can still study as usual, Silvi is bored locked up in this room continues, Brother," Silvi's great-grandson.

Anton let out a rough breath, not only Silvi, he felt so. "Do you want to go to Basecamp? Who knows you could be a little entertained if you meet up with your friends."

"But, Brother, it's still late afternoon, if you find out how Dad?" silvi asked a little worried.

"Let's just relax, today I'm late coming home because there's an event that he has to attend, brother had accidentally seen his invitation on the living room table."

"Then how's Mama?"

"You're still worried if he finds out? He never cared about us, brother. Let alone us, his biological son he doesn't care, so let it go, as long as he doesn't see us out, everything is safe."

A smile instantly appeared on the girl's face. With enthusiasm, Silvi came out with her brother secretly, and went straight to the basecamp with a big motorbike owned by her brother.

Upon arrival at the Brandalz basecamp, Anton and Silvi are greeted by gang members who have gathered there. One of Anton's confidants suddenly approached Anton and gave him some pretty shocking news.

"What's? So you're saying, Boy's been following Khaira from afar?" anton wanted to convince.

"Yes, Boss. After our failure a few days ago, I tried to investigate the cause of our failed plan, and I accidentally saw Boy, I thought it was just a coincidence, but every day he was there. I suspect he's been foiling our plans."

"Means our guesses are true if they have a relationship."

Silvi who heard the name Boy was said to immediately interrupt their conversation. He wanted to make sure Boy who they were talking about, and the girl was quite shocked to find out if the Boy they were referring to was the boy he liked, even the enemy of the older brother.

"So all this time Boy followed and kept Khaira from afar?" silvi asked, he hoped that the info was not true, unfortunately he actually saw his brother and his friend nod confidently responding to his question.

"If we want to harm the girl, we have to finish Boy off" one Brandalz member suggested.

"No! Don't hurt Boy," prevent Silvi quickly.

"Why? Boy is brother's enemy, finish him off also benefit brother." Anton is now confused with his brother.

"Because I actually like him, please just hurt him" Silvi said.

Anton rubbed his face rough, how could the brother actually like his enemy, of course it would be a big barrier to beat Boy.

"Then how can we harm Khaira if we don't finish Boy off?" anton asked confused and wrong.

"Why don't you just report Boy to the police?" silvi.

"What?"

"Report him on the charge of stalking, the police will arrest him immediately, and at that time, you can go ahead with your plan, at least that way Boy's not hurt."

Anton immediately smiled at his sister and immediately hugged her. "You're so smart, brother."
