Danu continued to stand up, with both palms she hid behind her pants pocket, staring intently at the girl who kept bowing her head, playing with her fingers.
The girl looked very scared.
While Jovian was sitting on the other side, looking at Danu, as if asking not to get out of control, and trying to understand the state of Kiana.
"Hheeuh!" Danu sighed.
His eyes closed, with his right hand moving to the forehead, and giving a slow massage there, when suddenly the middle-aged man's head felt very dizzy.
"What are you doing, Kia?" The low voice finally sounded.
And make Kiana even more agitated, because of course her father will now be really angry.
"You're strangling people's children? Until he's rushed to the hospital?" Danu growling.
Kiana is still tight-lipped.
"Just wait a minute there's definitely a subpoena from the police station, .. and Papa swears you have to take responsibility for what you're doing." Firmly Danu, became like a thunderbolt in broad daylight.
The deg!!
His chest was felt in a huge rain of gods. Kiana immediately raised her gaze, looking at Danu's face which seemed to be holding back her anger.
"Papa ..." His eyes look sad.
"Don't defend yourself!" Danu raised one hand with one index finger that the man pointed at.
Kiana closed her mouth again. Shut up and bow like all.
"Emmm, .. Mr. Danu. Looks like you have to let Kiana explain first, don't be aware that no one wants to listen to Kia, not even her Lecturer." Jovian began to make a sound, he began to feel unbearable with Kiana who was getting cornered.
Being Kiana is not easy. Jovian was even convinced that the other souls in Kiana's body were trying to rebel, but because she loved Jovian, it was clear that the girl was not willing to trouble him anymore as she had done.
At least that was Kiana's confession when they were on their way home.
"It feels like there's no other way. Maybe if just being hit by a raid doesn't make him deterred. Then let Kiana languish in the cell for the time the judge determines later according to the law set!" Danu said with confidence.
Kiana looked back up.
"Fuck!" The sound of screaming filled the middle room.
And Herlin came up from the stairs, with a look of panic and almost crying, especially when her husband said that to Kiana, his favorite puppet princess.
"It can't be like that to my daughter!" Herlin immediately sat down, and hugged Kiana very tightly.
His mother's instincts suddenly work, and the signal says she must protect Kiana from her own father's threats.
"If you want to get my daughter in trouble, .. then I will also get out of this house. No matter where I sleep!" Herlin.
The woman looked at Kiana's face to make sure. Then look towards Jovian.
"Joe! Please speak to your future Father-in-law, ..not as an aide and superior. But give an explanation as a prospective husband to defend his wife." Pinta Herlin full of requests.
And that speech obviously made Jovian freeze.
Danu shook her head in disbelief, until Danu rubbed her face rough, then threw her body towards the sofa.
"You always defend him! See the result of that, Kiana became very ignorant and hard to tell!"
"Sir, Kiana did it not without a reason. There are a few things that happen, and it disturbs her privacy and self-esteem, .. Kiana does it because she feels she has to." Jovian stared fixedly at Danu.
Danu sighed.
"Kiana yelled at a prostitute. Can't he defend himself?" Jovian asked again.
"What do you expect, Jo? A girl, out in and out of the club' night. Are they gonna think Kiana's a good woman?"
Jovian was a little lost for words. Say Danu harder to her than Kiana. If the girl can still receive an input, not with Danu. The man will believe what he thinks is right, even if the incident is not what he had in mind.
"So Papa won't help me? Papa doesn't want to beat me up? Yes, .. No one should stand up for me now. What must happen then happens, if later I have to go to jail for an attempted murder case, just let me rot in the bars there!"
Kiana released herself from the embrace calming her mother.
"And to Om! Just cancel everything, Om can find another girl, or go back to Om's past. I won't forbid, after all, the fact is that I will actually be imprisoned after this!"
Kiana got up, then ran towards the stairs very quickly, until the sound of the door being slammed also made a sign that Kiana's anger was really uncontrollable.
Herlin squinted at her husband. The anger was clearly already flaring, heard from the roar of his breath until it made the woman's chest rise and fall very tight.
Herlin stands.
"Just try Kiana actually went to jail for not getting a defense from you. I'll go and after that send you a lawsuit."
Herlin went up the stairs, climbed up very carefully, knocked on the door of the room, and called out his daughter's name in a very soft tone of voice.
"Ah she was always defending her daughter!" Danu looks a little frustrated.
Even several times the man swept his face, and exhaled quite fast.
Jovian he looked at Danu. Waiting for an order that Danu might give himself.
"If there is no more …"
Jovian was just about to open his voice, until Danu finally spoke again, cutting off his speech.
"Take care of everything tomorrow, Jo!" Pinta Danu with a soft voice.
Danu looked at her daughter's personal aide. He looks a little messed up. Maybe on one hand he felt disappointed by what Kiana did, of course as a parent he must feel embarrassed. But on the other hand her little heart was pondering over what Jovian had just said.
Maybe this time Kiana was right. He did that just to defend himself, especially the words Kiana did not deserve.
"What time did you happen, Jo?"
Jovian.
"I heard Kiana's scream. It's just that when I want to make sure to go inside, a security suspect there is facing me."
Danu nodded his head.
"Then, ... What about our conversation at that time? Do you still want to marry Kiana?"
Jovian nodded without hesitation.
"I'm just gonna ask for time. I had to think of a good time to talk to both parents alone."
"You haven't spoken yet?"
"It seems unethical to talk about good things over the phone. I want to go straight home to the village, and if the time has come maybe I will ask permission for a vacation of a few days, .... Or my father I ordered some of my confidants to watch over Kiana?"
"alright. But he doesn't seem to need an aide anymore, just you and Denis."
"Good."
The two of them were silent for a while, with their respective thoughts, until finally Danu re-opened his voice, asking for things that he thought were always disturbing the mind.
"What about the shares? I promised you I'd give it to you if you wanted to marry Kiana?"
"Save it to Kiana."
"Yes. I did, I told you, right? Values 20%. Kiana is 10% and you are 10% after that your job is not possible as a Bodyguard anymore, you will take care of mine has you both, ..or maybe later Kiana will jump in."
Jovian corrected his sitting position. Breathe in as much as possible, then exhale through the mouth very slowly.
"Is Mr Dan afraid I can't support Kiana?"
Jovian finally dared to ask.
"It's not. But I have to prepare for this, .. I don't know my age until when. If you can take care of it properly and properly, then I will feel calm. One thing you should know, Jo! There are some Kiana cousins who might just snatch it all. This is a family mine, so I give this 20% to you two. If you want me to give it to Kiana alone, then accept and manage everything with your own hands."
And after hearing that explanation Jovian nodded. A sign of agreeing to what Danu wanted, especially the middle-aged man asked him to keep a part of Kiana's property, not really purely running his own business.
"Would I get you the file now for you to sign?" Danu asked, but Jovian immediately shook his head.
"Maybe later after Kiana's business is done."
"Alright, Jo. I also hope that you will hasten your goodwill to Kiana, .. ah I mean my request, ... You will not marry Kiana without a request from us right?"
Jovian smiles.
He was eager to tell if he wanted to, not because of Danu's request. But the love of Kiana he saw was really big. Maybe if he does not see it, then he will still refuse Danu's offer.
But once everything seems clearer, what's wrong with opening up. After all, now that he began to get used to Kiana, as well as Kiana, he became more obedient and did not make it difficult.
Love changes everything, including a person's attitude. The girl who was very difficult to conquer, now bowed her knees to Jovian, was just a sense of attraction that Kiana had to a man who was 17 years older than her.
"Kiana's a beautiful girl, sir. Can I refuse a father's request? And it's very profitable, I don't have to bother to mince words to get your daughter." Jovian chuckles.
And make Danu laugh too.
"You like it?"
Jovian put on a smile, then nodded.
"More precisely trying, sir!" Jovian said in his heart.
"Ah I didn't expect you to be attracted to Kiana, even though she's a different girl than many girls."
"Yes, sir."
Jovian kept smiling. His memory was drawn to the time a few hours ago, where he started playing crazy with a plain girl who was 17 years younger than him. It sounds weird, but it's fun.
"It's almost five o'clock. Kiana's in the room, do you want to go home sooner?" Danu asked.
"It looks like you gave a lot of relief to me, even though I am a new employee. I haven't worked 2 months."
"It's okay. You're the future daughter-in-law of this house! And after marriage you'll be with me often, taking care of business together, going to monitor the mines to Kalimantan together as well."
Jovian smiles.
"Go home, if there's anything I'll call you right away."
"In that case, .. I'll go home. If there's anything later I'll be right back."
Jovian got up from his seat.
"Be careful, Jo!" Danu got up, he drove his dream son-in-law to the front porch of the house, watched the man get in his car, and left.
A meaningful smile rose at both corners of Danu's lips. Somehow it feels so happy, when you hear the statement that Jovian already has an interest in his daughter.
"That means Kiana's not that bad, is she? Until Jovian became interested in my daughter. She was indeed beautiful, just one flaw, she was too loyally." Danu monologues while walking back into the house.
