Loving Saleha's Bodyguard
Closer

The twenty-five-story building headed by Shawn Praja Dinata is always boisterous by the sound of footsteps and computers from every contract employee. Raina was always jealous to see people working in big companies, wearing neat clothes, leaving early in the morning and coming home at dusk. It used to be his dream, to be one of the contract employees. But look at how fate took him, he ended up being a Bodyguard for the cold guy who sometimes pissed him off.

When the disk of the sun as a whole had disappeared from the horizon, all the employees had gone home. Shawn Praja Dinata, his secretary, and his four flagship Bodyguards remain.

Shawn is still busy with all the documents of the cooperation agreement he will do with the Singaporean side. While the company funds he got at the charity event yesterday will be donated in its entirety to orphanages, duaffa and some foundations.

"Sir, I have contacted Singapore and they are ready to sign our cooperation agreement." Rita breaks Shawn's concentration.

"When is the departure plan?"

"Tomorrow!" Reply Robin briefly.

"Tomorrow?" Shade Shawn with a blank look. As if something was missing, he felt a void in his heart.

"What's wrong? You don't seem willing to leave your throne. Is there a secret I don't know about you?" Investigate Robin while glancing at Shawn with his eagle eyes.

A secret?

Who has no secrets? Everyone has a secret that he does not want to share with anyone including those closest to him. So did Shawn.

"Consecrated? Aren't you sane?" Shawn quickly objected, not wanting Robin to know that he did not want to go far from the figure of his beautiful bodyguard, Raina Salsadila.

"Yes, you're right too. There are no secrets that can be hidden from me." Robin said with a look full of eyes.

Meanwhile, in the pantry. Agil looked frustrated, many times he tried to call the number in his contact, unfortunately there was no answer, and it made him even more frustrated. His face looked pale, since the morning Mr. Yanto asked him to go home, Agil was too stubborn and always refused.

"Drink the coffee, Mas. It's still hot." Raina put the coffee on the table.

"Why hasn't Neng Raina come home yet, shouldn't Neng Raina have been home since?" Agil turned towards Raina with his pale face.

"According to Agil why?" Raina asked back with a flat face. Agil shook his head not knowing.

"How can Raina go home after seeing Mas Agil's condition like this! Mas Agil looks like clothes that have never been exposed to ironing. Tangled." Guyon Raina accidentally lures Agil into telling him about a problem that bothers him.

"Hhhhhhh!" Agil let out a long breath. Seen a heavy burden on his shoulders. Raina was completely unexpected, the person she used to know was humorous suddenly turning like a Tiger without fangs.

"I'm thinking about my son!"

"Kids?" Raina asked in shock.

"Yes. My son's. My son was alone at home, I had to leave him to the next door neighbor." Agil's eyes began to clear warm streaks and landed right on the back of his right hand.

Raina thought back to her mother. I hope his mother forgives him soon. He knew, his mother must be worried, just like Agil is feeling right now.

"There's no family I can count on. And I had no choice, I had to leave my son to a stranger, the nanny I hired a year ago suddenly resigned on the grounds of returning home. It is hard to find honest people today. I don't want to hand my son over to the wrong person." Said Agil with an anxious face.

"Where is Mas Agil's wife?"

"Hm." Agil took a breath. His face looks full of burden.

"My wife is dead. If I stop working and take care of my child without the help of a nanny, I'm afraid I won't be able to make ends meet." Agil again.

"So Mas Agil was worried that no one was looking after the little guy while Mas Agil was at work, was that it?" Hearing Raina's words, Agil could only nod his head without looking at his interlocutor.

"Say! I'll listen to it."

"Mas Agil still remembers my Bude, Bude Romlah?" Agil nodded his head as he still remembered the face of the woman who had given him warm tea at their last meeting.

"He's a very good man. I'm sure if Mas Agil leaves Mas Agil's son to Bude Romlah, Mas Agil's son will not lack the affection of a Mother." Raina said.

"Mas Agil can leave your little one in the morning and pick it up in the afternoon." Keep up Raina again.

Hearing Raina's words Agil's face looks radiant. He believes Raina's advice is the best decision he can make right now. After a short talk, Raina asks Agil to go home and take over the man's duties to look after Shawn Praja Dinata until the hot-tempered man returns home.

Now Raina and Shawn are left alone who have not left the twenty-fifth floor building. The fate of a personal bodyguard like Raina, must guard his Master until his Master is completely safe until his destination.

...***...

Raina glanced at the circular watch on her left wrist, the time was 19:09 but there was no sign of Shawn coming out of her office, it makes Raina more worried about her mother's opinion on her new job.

Raina sighed as she glanced at Shawn's office door many times, hoping that the man would come home soon so that he could also go home.

From a distance of steps, a pair of eyes watched Raina who was sitting while leaning her head on the sofa. Raina herself does not realize she is being watched. As soon as he changed his posture, he was completely shocked, his net met Shawn's netra, the gaze of the man he admired in silence was as sharp as eagle's eyes, it left him speechless other than his growing admiration.

"What are you doing?"

"I mean, why are you alone? Where's your other friend?" Shawn asked in a flat tone of voice.

Raina's chest was pounding even faster, she had never felt this feeling when she was with her Mr. Sanghai.

O Allah, forgive me for linking my heart to someone who is not lawful to me. Lirih Raina quietly while holding the turmoil in her heart.

"Can't you hear my voice?" Shawn asked again, looking angry because he knew Raina was sitting alone. Deep down, Shawn was happy to know Raina was waiting for him. Really, this is the feeling of a lover who misses his lover.

"Where is the man who should be waiting for me? Why would he let a girl sit alone in this desolate place? I'll definitely fire him." Shawn was upset. In fact, he was very happy to see the figure he missed whose neutrality was right in front of him. But, he starts to get angry knowing Raina is sitting alone. Had he known earlier Raina was outside her room, he would have immediately run towards the woman and left the hustle and bustle of her work.

"Mas Agil has urgent needs, sir. I myself am forcing to replace him." Raina replied firmly.

Mister? I was just a stranger to him. Shewn in his heart.

"Alright, because you forced your friend to come home. Then you must be punished." Babe Shawn while walking in front of Raina. He laughed happily without making a sound. Finally he can feel happy in the midst of his fatigue at work that never ends.

Raina followed Shawn behind her. Not a word came out of the lips of the two.

Raina keeps her pride as a bodyguard who should not get close to her Master. While Shawn, he keeps his ego as a boss who does not want to look concerned, so he really misses him.

The universe wants us to stay close.

If the universe had been supportive, even if you were in the ocean, I would have come to pick you up.

Giving Raina a punishment? It was just Shawn's reason for him to be closer to Raina who had not known since when his heart began to beat unbecoming if he thought of his bodyguard.
