Loving Saleha's Bodyguard
From Heart to Heart

The yellowish-brown sweep dominates the neatly arranged series of bricks forming the solid walls of the home that is headed by Rahayu's mother. Two small windows were neatly installed next to the entrance.

Ms. Rahayu was still staring firmly at the four guests who managed to surprise her. His lips were still tightly closed, he really did not know what to say.

"Please drink the tea!" Said mom break the silence.

"Thank you." Reply Alya ma'am with a friendly smile.

"It seems like our arrival surprised Ms. Rahayu, we are really sorry. We should have told you first, but it seems our son can't wait too long." Said Mr. Andi with a small laugh that adorned his face. He gave a cup of tea to Rahayu.

"Mdm yu..." Ms. Romlah nudged the body of Rahayu who was sitting next to her to wake her from her shock.

"Ahh yes. Maaffff I am aaaa." Said mom Rahayu nervously, slowly he took the tea that was offered by Andi with his right hand.

"I didn't know I was going to have an important guest tonight, our daughter never said anything about this, even so I'm very grateful for your arrival at our humble home." Said Rahayu again.

"Can we meet Raina?" Mr. Andi asked politely, he hoped that the purpose of his arrival was not in vain.

"Of course." Reply Rahayu mom friendly.

"It just so happened that Ustadz, who used to teach the children, was on holiday, he said his wife was giving birth. Luckily Raina was home, so now she's the one with her sisters. People like us can't bequeath abundant treasures. All we can do is educate them to be human beings of good character." Connect Rahayu's mother while fixing her sitting position. Understandably, spending days in bed makes his entire body feel stiff.

"Rom, call Raina!"

"Good mbak yu." Reply to Romlah mom while moving to musolla which is located next to Raina's room.

"My daughter is a good daughter, there is nothing precious I can be proud of in this life other than her and her sisters. We did live in a parlor, but I as her mother would not let my children suffer." Ms. Rahayu started her serious conversation while looking at the four people who were strangers to her in turn.

"I'm not Raina's mother, but I always wanted the best for her. My life is in the happiness of my children.

We don't know what you think of our daughter! But for us our daughter is far more precious than any Diamond. Maybe you think I'm just saying nonsense, but I'm sure any parent would be proud of their children. I've said everything about my daughter, no matter what decision you make, we will accept. But the absolute decision is in Raina's hands!" Rahayu explained.

Two minutes later Romlah arrived in the living room while embracing Raina's body.

Netra Raina locked onto one face, a face that was very familiar to her. Instead he was completely shocked at this moment, he never imagined the Dinata family would sit in his simple house.

For a moment the two children of man who admired each other met in a caress of love filled with strands of Tasbih on which power over their creation.

"Assalamu'alaikum." Raina greets everyone with the best prayer Islam has to offer. All eyes were on him, answering the same greeting, praying for each other in salvation.

"Mom called me?"

Raina can only mutter, she sits next to Rahayu's mother while fixing her mucus stuck on top of Rahayu's thigh.

"Sorry, Raina is new from Musolla ngajar nagai sisters, so have not had time to change clothes." Raina said sincerely.

"Why is everyone gathered here? Is there anything important?" Raina reopened her voice.

"Before we often met in a different atmosphere, and tonight we also met in a different affair. We greeted the purpose of our arrival to your mother, and your mother handed her absolute decision to you."

"decisions? What decision?" Raina asked because she did not yet know the direction of the conversation of the people around her.

"My family and I came to propose to you. Didn't I tell you, I'll take you home, not as my godly Bodyguard, but as my godly wife." Sawn continued while looking at Raina with a loving look. Wanting to feel he hugged the woman he missed so much even if only once, unfortunately his desire was still hindered by the word 'Not Halal' and it made Sawn feel like lost sense. Every time she thought of Raina her heart felt like it was going to explode, love, affection, longing everything mixed into one.

"As I said before, the absolute decision is in Raina's hands. I will support all my daughter's decisions without having to force her." Ms. Rahayu re-opened her voice.

"We understand maxut bu Rahayu. How about we give Sawn time and Raina a heart-to-heart talk. After that we'll decide everything." Go get Hanum.

Everyone agreed with Ms. Hanum's opinion, a minute later Sawn and Raina were already on the second floor of the home.

Second floor?

The second floor terrace is usually used as a children's play area. A swing and some games are on the second floor.

Now Sawn and Raina are sitting on a bench not far from the swing. They sat facing each other, the lights on the second-floor terrace lit up their faces until even Raina would not be able to hide from her own feelings.

Long enough the two of them were silent, enjoying the gusts of the night wind caressing their embarrassed faces.

Their words clenched on the lips.

Every now and then Sawn glanced at Raina's ayu face, that face ducking as usual. Sawn smiled, a second later he turned his eyes.

"Everything I've said, including how deep I feel about you!" Sawn opened a voice between the silence of the air.

"Either of what we are talking about, we have met in order to decide about our future, but before we talk about our past how to think about our future." Sawn stopped his speech, his nether hunting the Raina Netra. For a moment they looked at each other again.

"I went to MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). In college I liked a girl she was my classmate. He sat in front of me, I often tried to talk to him but did not dare. Thank goodness, then I found out she had two girlfriends. I used to smoke with friends, but when I caught my mom, I promised I wouldn't smoke again. I didn't tell Papa, but I think I should tell you." Close Sawn.

The moon tonight bears witness to the expression of Raina's hidden feelings, her chest pounding ever louder, wanting her to speak from heart to heart yet she can't do it. If God had willed, even the universe would have bowed under the will of two people who loved each other.
