Jovian Alton (Life-Life Bodyguard)
The status is clearer.

"Mmmmm, .. if there's nothing else for me to do. Looks like I'll be home early, sir!" Jovian said as he faced his superior.

For the first time the man looked nervous. And the cause was the second chat last afternoon, which discussed a marriage that Danu offered to Jovian to marry his daughter immediately.

"good. Happy break, Kiana is sick so no need for extra supervision, she also will not come out again like, after taking the medicine she is always asleep." Danu looked smiling kindly as usual.

Jovian chimed in with a slow nod.

"I'm sorry." He immediately stood up, turned around and walked towards the outside of the door of the house, after Jovian entered it to ask for permission to go home to Danu.

But his steps stopped when Danu again called his name.

"Yes?" Jovian turns around, until the view between himself and Danu again collides.

"Please think about my offer. And may you understand, whatever fear I may have if Kiana should fall on another man, I fear that she cannot stand Kiana's attitude, ..I believe only in you, Jo!" Danu was begging.

"It's really crazy. I just found a father who begged others to marry his daughter immediately. With a very different status, whether it's from my status as a widower, also equality in terms of the economy that is clearly very far, but it's not like Danu has a coal mine." Bati speaking.

Jovian just nodded, then actually left the parlour there. Leaving Danu who was still sitting, looked towards Jovian who was now seen approaching his parked car.

Highlight the lights of his car began to turn on, with the sound of the roar of the car engine that was also heard. Slowly the black car retreated, turned around, and approached the closed gate of the house, then disappeared afterwards.

"Hurry home again?" Mayden sat in the chair opposite Jovian, after ordering a drink as usual.

Jovian nodded, then turned off his already short cigarette.

"Is something?" Mayden asked as he realized something different from Jovian.

The man he had met recently. How not, he even always checked some places where Jovian always spent time, such as cafes and gyms.

"none. Why are you here? Is it night?"

"I saw you earlier, .. So stop by all of you." The woman reasoned.

Jovian seemed indifferent, he went back to check his cell phone, when several messages came in from Denis's number.

"You haven't said the second offer Mr. Danu promised. What'sthat?"

The contents of the message, accompanied by a yellow round emot, with a questionable expression.

"Do I have to say it now?"

Reply Jovian. Then he put the flat object back on the table.

Someone seemed to approach, carrying a drink, and placed it in front of Mayden. The woman received it well.

"Thank you." Mayden said to the waiter who brought the order.

The woman was silent for a while. Enjoying his cold coffee, while stealing glances at the handsome man before him.

"Jo, I think I should talk to you!" Said.

Jovian was silent, looking at Mayden with his usual flat face.

"We are near. Maybe not too long ago, sometimes we spend time together, like a few days ago. What about our status going forward?" Mayden looks shy.

Jovian was still listening.

He nodded, grabbed his hot coffee cup that was starting to feel warm, sipped a little at a time, then put it back in.

"I think, .. Is not being friends like that? What does dinner do, or spending time together have to have a special relationship? Like lovers?" Jovian asked back.

Mayden smile.

"Maybe not all, but most, and one of them I. Looks like you know, if I'm interested in you even when we first met each other at the Gym back then."

"interestedly? What did you see that you were interested in? You don't know how I am, so why would you be interested even in a Bodyguard like me?"

Jovian folded his hands together on his chest, then leaned back.

"You're handsome, everybody knows that!"

"Have I told you? If I ever get married, and fail?"

Mayden silent.

"It doesn't seem like it yet, .. or I forgot yah!"

"Well, then what do you expect from someone who has failed to build a household? It wasn't me who sued, but my ex-wife, she divorced me for one reason or another, and then the judge made it happen."

Jovian spoke in a soft tone. His expression looked very serious, as if he was trying to scare Mayden so that the woman would undo the intention to approach him.

"Or she'll still be moving forward, even if something bad she knows." Inner Jovian spoke.

"What made you part? If it's for status I don't matter."

Jovian was silent, he thought first.

"I have no problem with you being a widower."

"alright. I'm telling you this only! He sued me one day after I took the beating. Ye know? Household is not as easy as thought, .. There are many misunderstandings, even ending up beating like what I have done to my ex-wife first."

Mayden was silent, with his eyes fixed on Jovian.

"Not married. I mean, maybe just live it first, as a lover in general who can spend time together."

Jovian immediately shook his head.

"My age is not young anymore, .. I don't like that kind of status. They tied up with a status as lovers, but lived and did everything like married people, .. I honestly was a jerk, but I didn't do that before marriage."

Mayden is not talking, he is running out of words. What Jovian said he did. Establish a relationship, and live it like a husband and wife.

"There are a lot of young men who are more than me. And may you find it soon, but not me, I just accept a form of friendship, not with a more serious relationship as you wish."

Mayden nodded.

"It looks like you've had trauma." Mayden spoke again.

"No. I just don't want to do anything bad anymore, life with me is full of rules, and if anyone breaks it I don't like it. I'll give you a tough sanction."

"Ah looks like we should be friends first well, know each other's nature." Mayden smile.

Jovian just nodded his head. He again grabbed his coffee cup, gulped down the sign, then stood up.

"I'm done, it's late. And there's a lot of my activities tomorrow, so I have to take a break. I say goodbye to Mey!" The man took his belongings with him, and left, leaving Mayden behind.
