Jovian Alton (Life-Life Bodyguard)
Choices.

Eva continued to cry in her arms, even several times saying words that little Jovian did not understand.

"What's wrong with you?" 

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The woman with her increasingly sobbing sounds.

"I've been sorry for a long time. Then why come here? Wh why? Do you want to use Mami and Papi too?" He said with disappointment still remaining.

On one hand he was furious, yet in the depths of his heart, Jovian felt something he had been looking for a long time.

"No. Not at all, I'm just confused how to meet you without any emotion between us, .. although in fact it will still be there because maybe you feel disappointed." Eva shook her head.

"A few times I saw you, and decided to come to the apartment. But I'm afraid you're asking me to leave." His voice sounded soft.

In the same position, sitting together in front of Jovian, hugging the waist of her ex-husband who was sitting, Eva continued to cry as if she was expressing regret.

"2 years I tried, living by what I chose. But I really can't!" He came back saying that.

"What do you mean by what you say?" Jovian asked.

He tried to get away from Eva, but Eva's arms were wrapped very tightly around her waist.

"I missed you. I can't live quietly, I'm haunted by my own feelings." 

Hearing that Jovian just smiled bitterly.

"Do you think my 2 years are easy too?" Ask Jovian who directly Eva timpali with a headband. "Of course not, even I was unemployed for that long, I thought, what if someday I remarry, will my wife accept my job? Or not like before! And it turns out that I don't need someone who won't accept a partner for who I am, I've decided to go back to accepting a job, to be a personal bodyguard of a girl." Jovian again.

Eva pulled herself up, then looked at Jovian while wiping the remaining tears that were still wetting her cheeks.

"That girl?" Ask Eva.

Jovian looked into the dark eyes of his ex-wife. And he felt a tightness that was so intense, then nodded slowly.

"She's Kiana. The girl I'm guarding, my future wife!"

The deg!!

Eva's face instantly turned extremely pale. Staring at Jovian in disbelief, with a large Godam that was like he was hitting his chest, causing tremendous pain.

"You're getting married?" 

"Hemmm, .. 2 years is enough to shut myself off from the outside world, and now it's time I open my heart to another woman." Jovian.

Eva was silent for a while. Staring beadically with a sharp highlight that belonged to her ex-husband, and she found feelings other than, within the look of Jovian's disappointment.

"You still love me, Jovian. Then why are you getting married? While I'm back!"

Jovian shook his head.

"Only a taste is left, then what does it mean? I already have another woman. Please just stay here, spend time with my parents, just don't ever expect to be back." Jovian.

And that makes Eva teary again.

Jovian was about to get up, but Eva quickly held him back.

"We're together for 5 years. Is 2 years enough for you to love a woman who just walked into your life?" Eva looked at him.

"No." Jovian looked back at Eva.

"Then why? You want to live with someone new? While your heart is still clinging to feelings in the past? Can it?"

"could. I'm trying to love him." 

Tears flowed down on the cheeks of the beautiful woman in front of Jovian.

"I'm late, yeah."

"Yes, you're late to come, .. And now that I have to go look for Kiana, she'll misunderstand if I continue to be here with you." 

Jovian slightly pushed the chair he was sitting in towards the back, then got up and left Eva who was still crying just like that.

"Will our relationship really end badly? Even after what we went through together."

Jovian's footsteps stopped, then turned his head.

"Just a different status. Relationships can stay well-established." He said then Jovian continued his footsteps, went out through the back door of the house, and looked for the whereabouts of Kiana as well as her parents.

***

Kiana sat in a gazebo standing in the middle of a carrot plantation that was being harvested. He looked at Jonathan standing bowed near a spring that was seen flowing, washing away the two worterls he had requested from one of the workers.

After that Jonathan returned, and gave the carrot that he had cleaned to Kiana.

The girl looked at Jonathan's face and what was in his grasp took turns.

"Papi cleaned up. It's still fresh, and it's certainly very good for you." 

"Not cooked?" Kiana looked at him strangely.

Jonathan shook his head, then he ate his carrot first.

"It feels so sweet. It's delicious!" 

Seeing that, Kiana finally grabbed a gift from her future husband's father, and began to bite, then chew with full feeling.

"Mmmm, .. good." Kiana looked at Jonathan and smiled.

Jonathan sits himself right next to Kiana. Staring at the vastness of the plantation with a cool atmosphere, even though the sunlight looks so radiant.

"Indonesian, Papi is fluent." 

"The fire here has been since childhood. Papi's parents used to own one of the tea factories here." 

"Oh yeah? Is there a tea garden?" 

"It's on top."

Kiana nodded.

Jonathan looked over, looking at Kiana. The girl who looks easier to mingle with new people, even she does not look awkward even for her first meeting.

"Both are still Papi running. It's just that now Papi trusts some workers."

"Cool fire." Said.

"You guys still want to be here?" 

Suddenly Leni appeared from behind, carrying quite a number of carrot leaves in her arms.

"You want to go back inside?" Bargain Jonathan.

But Kiana immediately shook her head. Remembering that there were two people who were shedding longs for each other, and it was quite painful to see.

"I'm here, I'll come in when the carrots are gone." Kiana.

"alright. Mami and Papi go home first, .. do you remember the way home?" Leni chuckled, she uttered a joke.

Kiana nodded.

"Even the house is visible from here, when I'm lost." Reply Kiana.

"All right." 

"Mommy bring that carrot leaf? What's for?" 

"Yes, for rabbits. There's a cuddle that just gave birth, there's 9 babies and it's so adorable." 

"Let's see." Kiana started getting used to it.

"The cage is next to the house." Jonathan answered.

"okay."

The two elderly walked together, leaving Kiana alone under a gazebo that was seen in the middle of the garden.

Downstream the wind blew fiercely, sweeping the face of Kiana who was currently looking straight ahead, hit her short hair until it continued to move until it blocked her face.

This time he felt this complicated. Even he did not understand, why his chest continued to feel tight, even just remembering how Jovian met again, even though it was only with his ex-wife.

"And the one you should remember, Kiana. He has not completely recovered from his past, .. So prepare yourself for what may be very painful." 

He muttered, then bit the carrot Jonathan had given him.

"What are you eating?"

A voice that Kiana knew was heard, making the girl turn her head and raise her gaze to look at him.

Jovian smiles. 

"Omm?" 

"Why is he still here? Mami and Papi are back inside." He said, then sat down beside Kiana.

The girl did not answer.

"You mad?" 

Kiana was silent.

"Kye …"

"It looks like we're not gonna make it." He started to open his voice. "I don't mean us, but me! My rival is very heavy, he's someone from the past, who even I know that Om still has …" 

Kiana stopped her speech, as one of Jovian's index fingers placed on her lips.

"I'm not letting you say that. Enough we both know, .. and I'm trying." 

Kiana brushed off Jovian's hand immediately.

"Trust me this won't work. I choose to quit now, .. or the most painful thing I will accept." 

"No. I've walked this far, .it's impossible for me to back off. As well as you, they have already started to prepare everything. Your Mom and Dad!"

The girl sighed quite harshly. Take out any burdens that start to feel heavy.

"Om know? This is my first relationship, Om the second man I love besides Papa. But it feels weird, there's tightness in my chest if you remember that! I know Om's trying, but will it work? While the person Om misses is already here? Very close to Om. Even Papi and Mami received Aunt Eva very well."

Jovian fell silent, he was at a loss for words.

"I don't want to fight. But it feels like my opponent is very heavy."

Jovian looked at the girl sitting next to him with a huge feeling of guilt. 

"I chose you. So whoever comes, whether it's from the past, or from the future, I don't care." 

Jovian pulls Kiana's hand, opens the girl closer, and enters Jovian's arms, drowning in the arms of the man's burly body.

"I reiterate. Nothing will change that." He said again, then kissed Kiana's forehead without feeling embarrassed, even though there were some garden workers of his parents.

"Om promise?"

"Of course."

"Well, if Om denies, I will act. And did a really crazy thing afterwards." 

"You're threatening?" Jovian chuckled, with a hand that kept rubbing the back of the girl who was in his arms.

"of course. We have a commitment from the beginning! And if Om breaks it, then just look what I'm gonna do."

"All right." Jovian looked down again, and kissed Kiana on the forehead.

Very pretty short haired girl.
