Loving Saleha's Bodyguard
Alms Morning (Sawn&Raina)

Not a word came out of the lips of the two women of the other generation when Raina arrived in the kitchen while tidying up the rectangular headscarf with a flower motto attached to Raina's head.

Bi Sumi and Ega tried to bow respectfully as Raina stood right in front of her.

They are in a different situation now. Bi sumi, Ega and other household assistants can not behave like they used to do to Raina, be relaxed while enjoying a meal together, or just joking to forget about the tired day of work.

Now the graceful woman standing in front of bi Sumi was no longer her master's bodyguard, and it made her a little awkward to be near Raina.

"His nyo's in si-ni?" Sapa bi Sumi with her nervous voice.

Seeing the middle-aged woman in front of her frightened made Raina cleared her throat while folding both of her arms in front of her chest.

Ega who was standing beside bi Sumi also looked the same, the young girl even looked trembling. His hands were still holding pieces of ceramic plates for millions.

"Mrs? Did I not hear wrong?" Raina asked as she skinned every inch of the faces of the two women in front of her in turn.

"I'm sorry, are we?" Connect bi Sumi still with face down.

"Give me a logical reason, why are you apologizing? And why should I forgive you?" Raina said in her firm voice. He walked towards the dining table followed by bi Sumi and Ega behind him.

Indeed, the attitude of every domestic assistant in the sawn house began to differ since Raina entered the mansion as the wife of her master. There was no longer such a friendly attitude as usual, there was only an awkwardness that almost stifled the chest. And it made Raina feel sad but she never revealed to anyone including Sawn who was always by her side.

"Call everyone!" Pinta Raina on Ega.

"Ba-ik madam." Reply Ega with a soft voice.

Raina was still astonished, why was the girl afraid of him? Though previously they were very familiar, even they shared everything during Raina's stay in the mansion.

A minute later, everyone was already gathered in front of Raina. Including Cecep mang and Anwar mang who usually stand guard at the front post.

Without Raina realizing it, Sawn stood not far from where he sat and watched the worried face of all his work.

Slowly Sawn took a deep breath then violently exhaled from his lips.

Raina sat with her hands still folded in front of her chest, not a word coming from her lips other than looking at the faces in front of her with a disappointed look.

"Do you know why I collected you?"

"No-no, nyah!" Reply mang Ujang, a 54-year-old man who is the husband of Sumi bi

"That's the problem." Raina hung up her sentences, in her eyes again one by one the faces that ducked in front of her.

"I don't know what made you change. I asked myself, did I make a mistake? A second later I tried to convince myself, there was no way I could hurt you. If I didn't hurt you, then why did you all change? I'm really surprised!" Raina said again, her tone trembling slightly.

in an invisible corner Sawn seems worried, he never knows that Raina is uncomfortable with the changes around her.

"I'll always be the same Raina you've known. Don't treat me like a stranger. The madam? It doesn't suit me!" Raina got up from her sitting position.

"Every human being is equal before God, no one is high and no one is low. God does not see us because our clothes are expensive, and God does not see us because we are Black or White.

From today we will live our days as usual, and you two...!" Raina pointed towards the two girls in front of her, Ega and Melati.

"You two can call me big brother as usual, nothing has changed between us. Long before Mr. Sawn filled my heart, you were all already there, so don't ever bother me just because I married your master." Raina said again as she patted the shoulder of jasmine who was standing right in front of her, trying to clear the distance between herself and the existing assistant.

"My husband might be able to choke you if you're around him, I don't know why you're afraid of him. One thing you should know, Mr. Sawn is very good." Praise Raina from the bottom of her heart.

Deheman Sawn's voice managed to get all eyes on him.

"You're leaving?"

Sawn answered Raina with just a nod of his head. Raina approached the well-groomed Sawn in a white shirt wrapped in a blue suit outside.

"Why didn't you ever say anything about everyone's changing attitude toward you?" Sawn asked in a soft voice.

"For what? It's just a small matter."

"alright. But, next time you have to tell me everything."

"I'll do it." Raina replies while looking at her husband's handsome face.

"Today I'm going home a little late. Like a job that is still pending, even the sucker Robin just keeps bothering me with his long chat. I'm sure her boyfriend will break their relationship for no more than a week, he's so chatty and annoying." Sewn groaned as he stared back at Raina's face, the face he'd been missing all day.

"Maybe, I'm gonna miss you. Even so I will survive. I will always be waiting for you. In this place, forever." Raina said with a faint smile.

Raina leads Sawn to the door, the two of them separated after Sawn throws a kiss on Raina's forehead. A warm kiss worth the morning alms from Sawn to his beloved wife.

Treat them (your wife) the way they should. Then if you don't like them, be patient because you may not like something, but Allah has made him a lot of good." (Qs. An-lisa: 19).

"Today's college was boring. Let's just go to the salon, it'll be fun"! Pinta Vivi excitedly patted her two best friends on the shoulder.

Yuna and Arnela who heard Vivi's nonsense speech could only sigh while stroking the disappointed chest.

"I don't want to! If you want to go, just go. I don't like skipping college, and I hate it the most when you try to take me out of class when the lecturer is explaining." Reject Yuna with a firm tone.

"Please... This time only. I promise I won't do it next time." Vivi made up with her soft voice, seeing that Yuna felt pity until Yuna finally fell in front of her best friend's stupid wishes.

Compared to Vivi, I was much worse than her. I may have been overcome by his foolish desire. Forgive Yuna ma... Forgive Yuna pa... Yuna muttered in her heart as she followed Vivi and Arnela's footsteps towards the parking lot.

Accidentally Yuna and Prof. Zain returned to the parking lot. There was not a word that was thrown from Yuna's lips, there was only a indifferent attitude.

The graceful girl completely kept her word to not forge any relationship outside of class. Yuna did not even hesitate to not throw a smile at Prof. Zain who stood five steps away from him.

Seeing Yuna's flat expression made Vivi take the initiative to nudge Yuna Dinata's slender body.

Of course Yuna did not budge, she even patted Vivi on the shoulder in her cold demeanor regardless of Arnela's suggestion to reprimand Prof. Zain looked at them with a sharp look.

You weird girl, she's colder than ice and fiercer than a tiger. Look at the look in his eyes? Sharper than an eagle. Gumam Prof's. Zain De Lucca in his heart as he walked forward without looking at Yuna who was still standing with two friends who flanked his left and right arms.

"You are absolutely outrageous, why is your attitude so cold on Prof. Zain's? Don't tell me you're involved in love without my knowledge, and now you're on the march? Ohh no...!" Once again Vivi blabbed while acting strangely, Yuna who saw her could only wipe her chest.

Regardless of Vivi who was still dissolved in her long thoughts, Yuna and Arnela rushed into the car.

Lord, save me from all kinds of men who like to share his heart. Find me with a guy who feels like he has me enough. Yuna muttered again. He sat in the passenger seat, closing his eyes,

Arnela and Vivi who saw Yuna's saturated face could only shake their heads, they both tried not to disturb Yuna, by not figuring out what kind of problem her best friend had been upset about all day.
