Loving Saleha's Bodyguard
Forgive Me

That evening, Bu Rahayu awaits Raina's return with great worry. Since the Maghrib his feelings are really erratic. Repeatedly trying to call Raina's mobile number, her daughter's mobile number is still out of reach.

"Where are you, son? You're making me very worried." Said Bu Rahayu while pacing back and forth. Sometimes he looks into the house, worried that his children know the anxiety he is feeling. Fortunately, the children studied hard with Ustadz Anam, a new teacher who has been teaching them the Quran and Tafsir for two months.

"Aren't you tired of just pacing around? Poor floor, abrasions." Temptation Bu Romlah on his sister, he tried to distract Bu Rahayu by talking nonsense.

"Bak don't know Rom, today the feeling of Mbak is really not good, it feels will happen bad to..." Not yet finished saying Ms. Rahayu, Raina's face now filled her net. Accompanied by two straight-bodied men in black uniforms complete with a hat that covers his face. Bu Rahayu's first impression on the two men who accompanied Raina was really not good. Ms. Rahayu looked at them with a hostile look. Her body shook, it felt like thousands of Vall's electrical voltage stung her baby's beak. Bu Rahayu tried to control herself while taking a deep breath then slowly exhaled from her lips.

"Get out of my daughter." Ms. Rahayu cried to see her daughter's forehead wrapped in bandages. He groped every inch of Raina's body, hoping for no other injuries.

"Sstt. Aaaa!" Raina grimaced in pain when Bu Rahayu accidentally pressed her sprained right arm.

"What did you do to my daughter?" Bu Rahayu shouted harshly to get everyone out including Ustadz Anam who was teaching.

"Mr Yu, be patient." Ms. Romlah tried to calm Ms. Rahayu while pulling her sister behind Raina's back.

"Raina's okay, ma'am." Said Raina slowly, she hugged her mother who was still controlled by anger.

"Bude, they're Raina's friends. Please bring them in." Pinta Raina to Miss Romlah, the forties woman nodded slowly.

"And you guys, get back to where you are, now." Raina looked at her sisters with a look of affection, the children were like buffaloes that fit her nose, though curious they entered without saying a word.

"Ustadz, thank you." Raina was sincere when she said it, Ustadz Anam only gave a thin smile and then walked after the children who had entered first.

Agil and Bobby are still surprised by the shocking reaction of Bu Rahayu. Even so they tried to behave normally as if nothing had happened.

"Please forgive Raina's mother. Understandably, seeing her daughter come home injured makes her mother's soul struggling." Ms. Romlah tried to melt the atmosphere, she put a tray of warm tea on the table, deliberately made for two strangers who had not been known.

"Is she really Neng Raina's mother?" Agil asked, he imagined Bu Rahayu's ferocious face while yelling at her.

"sorry. Isn't this an orphanage?" Bobby started asking because he was really curious. Hearing Bobby's words, Agil quickly pinched the arm of his colleague who was currently sitting next to him. Seeing the silly behavior of Agil, Miss Romlah can only smile while poking her face behind her finger.

Has this guy always been that ridiculous? Oooo. She's so sweet! Inner Miss Romlah without removing her gaze from Agil's embarrassed face.

"You're right. This place is the Orphanage. And our Raina is the princess of this place." Said Mrs Romlah honestly. The tea that Bobby drank squirt about Agil's arm. He was surprised, not expecting a figure as tough as Raina the orphan girl.

Agil and Bobby stared at each other in disbelief.

"Our Raina is a good girl. Please take care of him!" Mum Romlah said again, this time he cupped his hands in front of the chest.

"You don't need to ask like that, we will definitely keep Neng Raina as much as we can." Agil and Bobby say it together. After finishing tea and a plate of cake served to him, Agil Dan Bobby resigned. They did not want to bother Raina and her Mother, because they knew there were many things to talk about between the Mother and the Child.

"Ma. Pa. Where's Brother Shawn? Wasn't he here?" Yuna asked as she grabbed the cake in front of Pak Andi.

"Don't say anything about yesterday's events. Mama's sure your brother's still pissed." Ms. Hanum tried to remind her naughty daughter.

"Yes, Yuna promised not to say anything in front of Brother Shawn. But Ma, Yuna is really amazed by Big Brother's Bodyguard, what's his name?"

"Mama doesn't know either. Obviously, we should thank him. If it wasn't for him, Mama wouldn't know what bad things would happen to your sister." Said Bu Hanum goosebumps, he imagined yesterday's incident.

"Why did I open this closet? I won't find anything." Lirih Shawn quietly. When he was about to close the closet door, suddenly his gaze was fixed on a small blue box that read LOVE.

Love's?

Shawn tried to remember where the box came from. Two minutes later, her lips began to twinkle a faint smile while imagining the face of someone she missed so much.

Angel Sasmita's!

The name suddenly came out of Shawn's lips. He smiled to himself as he imagined the sweet memories they had shared.

Dear. I miss you, may you be well in Heaven! Lirih Shawn quietly.

In his absence the box with an unbearable longing, suddenly he began to shed tears. Angel Sasmita still has a special place in the heart of Shawn Praja Dinata. For him, it was too hard to forget his first love.

...***...

Ms. Rahayu knocked on Raina's room together with Greetings, no answer. Tired of waiting, Ms. Rahayu went straight into Raina's room. Unfortunately, he did not find anyone there.

"Roman. Where are you?"

"Sister went to Swalayan. If Bude Romlah, he's behind the clothes drying." Report Andre to Bu Rahayu who was still standing at the door, Andre brought a new dry shirt he lifted from the clothesline.

"Thank you, son. You can go and put that shirt in the basket." Ms. Rahayu rubbed Andre's head with a smile.

All right, we'll talk next time. Lirih Bu Rahayu, he went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

...***...

In Swalayan, Raina chooses items for the purposes for a week. School supplies for her nine sisters, and some of her sisters' favorite snacks.

Not far from where Raina was standing, Bu Hanum was looking at her with a relieved smile. Slowly, Ms. Hanum walked over to Raina. Really, Raina did not realize that she was being noticed.

Ms. Hanum held onto Raina's shoulder.

"Who?" Ask Raina. He stared in wonder at the middle-aged woman who had dared to hold his shoulder.

"I don't know the Madam." Raina spoke again, the person she spoke to could only smile with relief at the soft speech of the girl ayu in front of her.

"I'm Shawn's mother." Said Ms. Hanum. Raina was startled, she immediately bent her body as a form of respect towards the middle-aged woman standing in front of her.

"It's nice to meet you. How about we find somewhere else to talk?" Ms. Hanum offered, and an offer that Raina would never be able to refuse.

Raina nodded her head slowly, she followed Bu Hanum's footsteps from behind. They then entered the Foot Court, chatting while waiting for the order to come.

Ms. Hanum is a very friendly figure, it will not be difficult for Raina to be close to her, in contrast to her son, the grumpy one who is also begging for mercy. Truly, Raina felt guilty for being charmed at the son of a woman as good as Bu Hanum, but how else, she could not control her heart not to fall in love.

I'm sorry Madam. I will try to get rid of this strange feeling before anyone else knows it. Inner Raina while smiling at Bu Hanum who is still enjoying her order cake.
