Loving Saleha's Bodyguard

Loving Saleha's Bodyguard
Haru


An hour and a half passed since Alya's aunt's visit to the luxurious Sawn Praja Dinata, Raina decided to meet Andre and wait for her sister in front of the school gate this afternoon.


From a distance not too far away, Raina could still see her sister walking with her friends while smiling happily.


At first glance, Andre's story that was once in the outcast of his classmates again appeared in Raina's mind.


My sister looks happy, I'm sure her friends have accepted. Raina muttered while looking at Andre's perfect face.


"Sister!" Andre waved both of his hands towards Raina without letting go of his happy smile.


After saying goodbye to the two friends who flank him, Andre immediately rushed towards Raina who was still waiting for him in the car.


"Sister came to pick me up?"


"M." Mmm." Raina replied with a faint smile.


"Come in, we'll have lunch together. After that, brother will take you home."


"Good, brother." Reply Andre again without asking why Raina picked him up.


Meanwhile in a different place, as usual Sawn was still busy with his pile of work. Occasionally, he let out a heavy sigh while leaning his head on the back of the chair. Do not know why since this morning his feelings were really uncomfortable, as if there was something bad that would happen in the world of peaceful marriage.


Tok.Tok-sign.Tok.


The sound of knocking coming from the door blew away the terrifying thoughts of Sawn Praja Dinata.


"Lake in." Speak with a heavy heart.


"Good day, boss." Say hello to Robin as soon as his head pokes from behind the door leaf.


"Your face looks like a desperate man, is your marriage okay? Tell me if 'Miss is alone' bothers you. I'll definitely punish him." Guyon Robin, putting a golden envelope on Sawn's desk.


"Are you not sane! My rain is softer than silk, even its goodness is able to melt jewels. Then, why would a girl as good as herself bother me?" Reply Sawn seriously.


"Yes, you're right too. There you are, you're gonna bother Raina." Follow Robin as he walks towards the sofa which Sawn follows from behind him.


"Say, what are you carrying?" Point Sawn at the golden envelope Robin had placed.


"Oohhh that? It was an open invitation to all successful entrepreneurs in the archipelago, everyone gathered in the prestigious event. Actresses, models, entrepreneurs, even influential Lecturers were present at the event. Don't forget to ask 'Miss alone' I haven't seen him in a long time. I miss him." Temptation Robin on Sawn.


"I'll ask Raina if she wants to come or not! And one more thing, don't call my Rain 'Miss alone' My ears are itchy hearing other men admire my wife. Even if you were my friend, I wouldn't hesitate to raise my fists on your handsome pretentious face." Reply sawn with a joke.


Robin chuckles at Sawn's serious-sounding speech but gets wrapped up in a typical joke they often do.


"Are you coming? It would be nice if we could go together like we used to." Robin continued, recalling the times when Sawn had not married.


"I'll try!" Answer Sawn briefly. Then back to his work shirt.


"You can't come to the party if Raina doesn't come with you! Angel-like snuff caterpillars will stick to you worse than blood-sucking lice. At least, if Raina comes with you, it will limit her movements."


Robin himself could not imagine how much hatred he had for the woman named Angel. He even likened the graceful girl to be worse than a bloodsucking flea. Every time he mentioned the woman's name the feeling of resentment came without being asked.


Without being asked, Sawn would push Angel away from him. It was enough that he was involved with the woman, engaging with her would only bring about injuries.

Not a word came from Andre's thin lips, he answered Raina with a nod of his head.


"Do you want to hear the story of brother?" Raina asked Andre again, Raina's hand clasped Andre's fingers tightly. While looking at him, he did not let go of his sister's face even if only for a second.


Andre nodded again, trying to give an answer to his dearly beloved brother.


"When you're your age, the thing you dream about the most is lying on your mother's lap. You won't be able to imagine my sister's sadness, missing my mother's figure day and night feels so happy, yet you can't hug and kiss her, she said so pitifully." Raina said while removing her hand from Andre's fingers.


"When a child is born, nothing in this world can match the happiness of being a mother. Sometimes, there is a steep and thorny road through which a mother can survive.


And recently, you just found out that your mother is still alive, it looks like your mother also passed through that barbed street so she would rather let you go and see you from afar. Do you know who your real mother is?"


Again Andre could only nod his head answering Raina's every question.


"Sister will never force you to accept Alya's mother as your mother! Sister just wanted you to know, you're lucky to have a mother as good as Alya's. About the past, forgive me. And regarding your future with your mother leave everything to God." Raina said seriously. His voice sounds heavy.


"Raina, thank you." Alya said with a happy smile.


Raina flinched, Alya's short speech managed to disperse her memory of the conversation she had with Andre half an hour ago.


"Together, aunt." Reply Raina while stroking Andre's head.


"You can call me whatever name you feel comfortable with. Aunty, mistress, aunt, or you can call me Alya." Alya said slowly.


Raina herself did not know what was on her sister's mind. Raina knew that her sister was shocked and uncomfortable with her current position, just that, Raina wants to see Andre become a broad-minded child and can accept all the realities that are in front of his eyes, because actually running from problems will never solve problems.


"You can call me Mama whenever you want! Even if I get old, I can wait for it." Alya continued while looking at Andre who was sitting in front of him with his head still down.


There was not a word that came out of Raina's mouth, she just wanted to see and hear how much Alya tried to soften her son's heart. For a moment Raina's mind focused on Rahayu's mother.


Raina let out a long sigh thinking about her mother's reaction if she came to know about Andre's birth mother.


No matter how angry Rahayu will be, Raina has really prepared her heart to accommodate her mother's anger. Raina just wants everyone to be happy.


"Ma-ma." Andre said with a heavy voice as soon as the sweet child raised his head.


Clearly visible, Alya's eyes glazed over, tears did not stop dripping down her beautiful face. Hearing Andre call him mama as if the world was struggling before him, there was nothing more he wanted, because all the things were already his.


"Mama." Andre said again in a louder voice. He approached Alya's mother and hugged her mother with tears that could not be held back.


Hiks.Hiks.Hiks.


Raina's sense of hearing is only filled with crying sounds. Whether it's Alya or Andre, they're the same.


Raina crying. It's just that, he prefers to cry in silence, seeing the mother and child in front of him hug each other makes Raina's chest cavity filled with extraordinary feelings.


O Allah, I have done my first duty as a member of the Dinata family, uniting aunt Alya and her son. I don't know what my mother thinks of this matter, just one of my prayers, if anyone should cry for uniting Andre and his mother, then let me endure everything. Raina in her heart.


Eager for Raina to share this happy moment in front of her with Sawn Praja Dinata, Raina immediately took the phone from her bag and immortalized what she saw in black in the form of a short video.
