Jovian Alton (Life-Life Bodyguard)
The luck of life

"Today I'm going to the apartment first. You wanna come or wait here?"

He turned his gaze from the mobile screen towards his wife who had just entered the room. Then put the flat object on the table, stretching out the hand as the woman walked closer, and ended up sitting astride her lap with both hands that Kiana placed on her husband's shoulder.

"Why? You bete well there's no Papa?" Kiana asked while framing Jovian's face, then laughed softly.

Jovian smelled a smile.

"Not really. I actually really enjoyed the relaxing times like now. It's just that I have to get ready soon, this afternoon I leave for Pangalengan again." Evidently.

Kiana did not react. He only silently watched the handsome face of the man before him fixedly. There was a slight sense of unwillingness, when her husband started to get busy with what he was struggling with. But back again, it is one must and what Jovian is working on is still light.

"Aren't you going to next week? Is there still three days?"

"Can't, it turns out everything will clash then. Preparation for graduation, then fitting clothes, disperse invitations, and much more. So I'd better finish the job in Pangalengan first, before we focus on our show." Jovian clearly smiled.

Kiana's eyes twitched, looking at her husband's face deepened.

"You haven't left yet." She embraced her husband's shoulder, and placed her face in the recess of Jovian's neck. "But I've been feeling homesick. How many days are you in Pangalengan? When did Mami, Papi and Ka Adline arrive? Don't we have to fit the clothes together?" Her eyes closed, inhaling the scent of her husband that she loved so much.

Jovian smiled as Kiana behaved more spoiled than usual.

"I want to come?" The woman returned to whining.

Jovian's laughter was heard.

"Ish, .. Laughs."

"Did you come every month like this, huh? Why is today so different? Since when do you like to whine like this?"

"Since you married, you are!"

Jovian's hands moved in a circle around Kiana's waist, and hugged her body tightly with an anxious feeling.

"Ah I'm glad you're like this." Jovian muttered softly.

However, of course it can still be heard clearly by Kiana. She unraveled her embrace, took a seat, and looked back at her husband's handsome face with the sweet smile Kiana showed.

"I'm coming with ya!?"

"No Baby! Just for a moment, if you come later sick all your body. I only tried it last night there." Jovian smiles.

Kiana sighed, then exhaled with a disappointed look. Then he got up and walked over to the bed, got up, and lay there hiding himself in a thick blanket.

"Babies?" Call Jovian.

"Yes already. Just leave, I won't force you to come along so you don't bother!" He said with a voice intonation that sounded quite sniffy.

Jovian got up from his seat, walked up to the bed, then placed himself on the edge of the bed, and touched his wife's shoulder, then bowed.

"Hey, you're sick come month. Then the long journey always makes you complain, especially in a period of time that is not short, you will wade through the streets for five hours, rest all day, all day, then after that you will take a long time to travel home. I just don't want you to be sick, that much is my love for you to the point that I won't allow it." Jovian.

Kiana was silent with her back.

"Alright, if you want to come come along. Choose the clothes you want to bring, then put them in the bag." Jovian said as he stared at a large bag that was on the sofa.

Where in it there are some clothes for profit change, and everything for his needs as long as he is in Pangalengan there.

But the woman remained silent.

"Hurry along. Later in the afternoon should leave if you really want to come!" Jovian.

Kiana fell silent, she thought about what her husband had explained. Because it is true, the Tangerang-Pangalengan journey is very time consuming.

"Babies? Come on! Put your clothes in my bag. We'll drop by the apartment while we're leaving." Jovian said, then he kissed the wife's cheek. "Babies? Come on if you want, if it's too late in the afternoon we can get there late." The man continued to try to ease his wife's frustration.

They were silent for a long time. Until finally Kiana turned around, and looked at Jovian who was currently waiting with a soothing facial expression.

Jovian's eyes twitched, looking further at the woman's face before him. Who had always been annoying the last few days, but Jovian couldn't do anything, because he loved her so much.

"Yes already. I'm not coming, you can leave now, I'll wait for you here with Mama and Papa. Or going to the apartment once in a while when I'm bored."

"Follow it. I don't want you to be mad, if I leave later!" Jovian.

"Emmm, .. After I thought about it, I guess not. The waist still likes hot, the lower abdomen still hurts. So you're off on your own, but on condition that you don't take too long."

Jovian delved into his wife's netra, trying to find a sense of confusion in there. Did the woman really say that? Or just because you feel prestige? Despite wanting to come but Kiana persisted because it still left a sense of annoyance to Jovian. However she did not find that, it seemed like this time Kiana was honest, even she was getting more and more convinced that Kiana had already slightly improved from her anger with both corners of her lips drawn, making a faint smile on her lips there.

"really? Won't be mad?"

"Yes. But tomorrow you go home! Don't leave me for long."

"If you're done, go straight home. So today want to go faster, so that it doesn't get there too late."

Kiana smiled, then nodded her head, inched closer and buried her face in Jovian's chest, hugging the waist of the man beside her very tightly.

"Hhew! Your mood is changing all the time! It was upset that I didn't take you, but now it looks like there's nothing." Jovian.

"I don't know, I also feel weird sometimes." Kiana.

Kiana nodded, she let go of the twists of her hand, made Jovian immediately get up, carry the bag, and walk towards the door, which was followed by Kiana immediately.

"Be careful, don't drive the car too fast. Then just finish your job well, no need to rush! Kiana's gonna be okay with Mama." Herlin said to his daughter-in-law as the man bade farewell.

Jovian grabbed the hand of the woman currently standing on the front porch of the house, then kissed the back of her hand.

"It was going to take Kia, but because she always complained of lumbago, .. so Jovian felt that staying here was better, it won't be long, tomorrow afternoon maybe Jovian has arrived here."

"Yes! Don't you take it long." Todong Kiana's.

Making Herlin pat the princess on the shoulder, and look at her quite sharply.

"His husband wants to go and he does!"

"Ish Mama!"

Jovian looked at Kiana and her mother-in-law in turn.

"Well, then go first!" Pamit Jovian's.

Herlin nodded, even with Kiana.

Then the man turned around, brought his bag closer to the car, unlocked it and placed it in the rear passenger seat.

"Be careful! Don't forget to call me!" Kiana Shouted.

He raised one hand, then moved around waving.

"I'm leaving, don't keep your phone away, okay?"

"Yes." Yeah."

And after that Jovian entered, started the engine, then drove slowly closer to the gate that was already wide open, and the sound of the horn becomes a marker if Jovian will immediately drive his car at a high enough speed.

"Let's go in." Take Herlin after the black car Jovian was driving disappeared.

Kiana replied with a nod.

"It's okay, Jovian just went to finish his job. Don't look so excited!"

Herlin grabbed Kiana's hand, and carried the woman who looked to lose her spirit inward.

"Haye, .. Why does he have a job when I'm like this?"

"But he was so considerate. Sitting on the sofa sometimes makes you uncomfortable, .. let alone take you with him? The journey from here to Pangalengan is not short. See it? How bad is Jovian to you?"

Kiana turned her head towards where Herlin was walking beside her.

"He's a tea plantation owner. So it's not strange that he'll be busy, .. neither will you, someday you'll take over your Papa's work."

Hearing that Kiana sighed even louder.

"Later we don't have time!?" He said as he walked through each room.

"There was. Want to work constantly? Between your work and Jovian's, you'll definitely have some free time together."

They sat on the sofa in the middle room.

"Why don't I have a brother?" Kiana looked at her mother. "If you have it can my brother who takes care of it, I stay silent and wait for the husband to work, without having to plunge into Papa's business. If Mama says our time for vacation is there, but see Papa? It used to go out of town a lot, then abroad, and the time is obviously reduced for us."

Herlin smiled.

"If not, then our lives will not be as good as they are now. You won't get what you want." Herlin obviously told Kiana.

And that speech was able to make Kiana silent. What his mother said is true, not everyone is lucky with the life they have.

"Facility, high school, comfortable home. That's what you get because of your Papa's persistence. Do you think he wants to be like that? Work and leave us for days? No dear, he wants to stay home, with us. But if Papa does that, then you'll never get what you want."

"Mama's right." Kiana threw her back on the back of the sofa. "But I was surprised, .. why now Jovian gives me a card too! He said to make the same shopping buy all my needs, even though I still have a card from Papa."

"That's called a living. He gives it to all your needs, then use it well. Use it to do maintenance, make Jovian happy with your appearance, .. if for kitchen shopping is not yet, you still live here so let Mama alone shop for her needs. And the card that Papa gave you, just keep it. For your pocket money!"

"Hemm, .. maybe sometime shopping for an apartment only. There's no way I'm gonna stay here."

"Just leave. Mama and Papa would rather you guys be here, the house still feels so warm, and you know? No doubt, Papa always felt sad, because he had lost his daughter, whom he had given to Jovian, whose responsibility Papa had automatically changed hands now."

Kiana nodded her head, as she lay on the sofa there, with the legs of the mother that Kiana made as a head brace.

"I'm not going anywhere, Ma. I'm here with you guys.

"Yes, indeed. But your father is different, he thinks after this you will go far, and very rarely see him.

"I live here, maybe until later I can buy my own house." Kiana.

Herlin smiled, rubbing Kiana's head very gently. Making the woman who was currently lying down comfortably began to close her eyes.
