Knights For Mundika
22

With the crowd of Mundika and Zayed and Mansoor and his bodyguards from behind walked to the treatment room where Artika was located. All the way from Jakarta back to Dubai he could not rest at all even though his body requested. Pain and fatigue can not beat his mind that continues to be focused on his mother. The atmosphere at that time had entered the night and seemed increasingly wriggling activity considering the hot and hot weather during the day made people there choose not to leave the house or office.

“Kak Majid, how is Mom?” Mundika approached Majid who was still standing guard in the treatment room.

“Mama Artika is still unconscious and sometimes delirious calling your name and Zayed, he said,” Majid sighed and shook his head even though in his heart he felt relieved that his two younger siblings had arrived safely and did not lack any one. “Thank you Mansoor, you have fulfilled your promise to pick up my sisters. I really owe you.” He patted Mansoor on the shoulder.

“You need not hesitate like that Majid, however soon we will become a family,” Mansoor patted Majid's shoulder back.

“Sister Majid, I had permission to take Mansoor home for a while,” Mundika coded Mansoor by pulling the end of the shirt the man was wearing. “Because it must have been very tiring almost two days of not sleeping taking care of me and Zayed.”

“But...” No time Mansoor continued his words, Mundika immediately pushed the man's back to get out of the treatment room. He wanted to talk to her alone. Majid seemed to understand two people who were drunk with love in the midst of problems that surrounded them, so as to let them talk together. Ah, it was just envious, he also wanted to immediately submit a proposal to Rabiya. But he still could not calm down if the affairs of his sisters were not finished. Sometimes he wants to be able to express himself more like Mundika and Zayed even when doing wrong like now, but because his position as the first child in the family makes him have to be able to hold back and always be wise and mature in the face of his life. Hopefully there will be a time where he can be more relaxed to live his life without the burden on his shoulders. Hopefully, because he also wants to be happy…

“So...., what are you talking to me about?” Mansoor smiled and leaned closer towards Mundika while teasing her a little. It seems he already has a new hobby of it considering Mundika's cheeks are spontaneously flushed. “Do you want to thank me for bringing you safely to your family?”

“Mansoor..., is your face not too close to me?” Since the incident Mansoor hugged him at that time while giving full support to him, he became more easily pounding and his cheeks flushed red whenever he was close to the man.

“Why? Do you feel your heart pounding faster than usual?” How happy it would be if it happened, so that he did not clap one hand to fight for his feelings. Maybe this is a form of change that he had not thought could happen because he was too indifferent and cold and only focused on his work career so far. Being met with a girl like Mundika who never knew love with the opposite sex because of her fear and past burden gave her the learning that she should be able to express her emotions that are too long asleep. He wants himself and Mundika to have the same level of love so that they can be more honest with each other and do not feel struggling alone.

“I..”

“Ya...,”Jawab Mansoor with soft and deep voice.

“Isshhh, I'm seriously this Mansoor, stop teasing me!” Mundika protest could not stand what her fiance did by stomping her legs like a child.

“I also seriously respond to you,” Mansoor chuckles small when he sees Mundika not wrinkling in front of him.

Mansoor's smile widened when he heard Mundika's words. It seems his efforts have paid off. Although he himself also had to struggle to control the overflowing emotions every time faced with the affairs regarding Mundika.

“Therefore, the more fall love me Mundika,” Mansoor gaze softened but so intense penetrated both black eyeballs belonging to Mundika. “Fell in love as I love you.” He took the opportunity to kiss Mundika's left cheek a little deep and in a flash passed leaving the girl still shocked while holding her cheek which she kissed. Crazy one! He's completely insane! If the babanya knew what she had done, she must have been scolded all out for breaking the rules for not being friendly in public. But isn't this the first time he's done something like this to Mundika? Yes, it all happened anyway he did not feel guilty for doing it except to the Almighty for impatiently waiting for two more months. Be grateful that he has an innocent fiancee like Mundika so that he will not be able to protest loving actions for her. “Goodnight, good rest, and see you tomorrow!”

Mansoor walked to the elevator which was right in front of the nurse room and approached the two guards who chose to step aside for a moment to make room for the Master and his fiancee spoke four eyes.

“Badar, Ali, let's go home,” Mansoor smiled lightly greeting the nurses he passed by. He hooked his ten fingers and lifted them up to do a little stretching. “I think finally I or we can exactly sleep well at night after almost two days we are awake. Thank you for accompanying us through these stressful and tiring days.”

“Sama-sama, Mansoor,” Badr and Ali pat Mansoor on the shoulder.

“But I hope you don't do that again Mansoor,” Badar commented.

“Which thing?” Mansoor turned his head towards Badr while raising his left eyebrow.

“I know that innocent girl is your fiancee, but you shouldn't have broken the act that your father has decreed. This is already for the umpteenth time you know..” Badar allows Mansoor to enter first into the elevator and followed by him and Ali. “After all you are an example for the people here. It would be better for you to try to restrain as much as possible until the next two months you are legally husband and wife. Then after that, wanting to do anything no one will forbid you to do it. And don't forget the family who gave you their full trust to take care of the girl. There's no way you're gonna break their trust in you? You are not forbidden to fall in love, but at least your logic must still be used so as not to be overpowered by a momentary lust that you will regret forever.”

“I agree with the opinion of Badr, Sheikh,” Timpal Ali also reminded.

“....,” Mansoor was silent because he did not expect the movements so observed by Badr and Ali. He took a deep breath and puffed slowly to balance his current feelings and tried to digest the words of his best friend. “I know it's Badr, but thank you for reminding me back.”

And the elevator door was closed indicating that the day's activities had been completed because Mansoor also had to report what he had done to his parents and family the results he got from his departure send him to Indonesia.
