Loving Saleha's Bodyguard
Disillusioned

"I haven't been able to ask, why are you here? Shouldn't you accompany Andre inside?" Raina asked out of curiosity.

"You shouldn't leave Andre, the boy always cries if something bothers him. I'm afraid he can't accept the inside." Raina said again while showing off her sad face.

"You don't have to worry! Didn't you say he was a wise boy?"

"I know it! Only, as wise as the boy was, he was too young to be able to understand the four strangers standing before him then claiming to be family." Reply Raina.

"Tante Alya won't hurt Andre, trust me!" Sawn tried to convince Raina, unfortunately it didn't work.

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Ask whatever you want to ask, God willing, if I can answer!" Reply Raina while staring at the shady Netra Sawn.

I couldn't help but look at her, staring at her neutrals made me calm. But, this is not true. Lirih Raina shifted her eyes.

"If we were married, what would you do if I betrayed you to another woman?"

Betraying?

Raina is surprised by one word that she believes will make her cry in the silence of the night.

"Didn't you like my question? Why do you shut up, say something to calm my heart?" Sawn demanded an answer. While Raina, she could only sigh.

"I'm sorry, I can't give you the answer you want. If you betray me, I'll go!" Raina said, affirming. He stopped his sentence while looking at Sawn's surprised face.

"I'll leave if you betray me. I'll also leave if you don't believe me. I'll go far away until you won't be able to find any traces of me!" Raina said again while imagining Sawn's question happening in her quiet life.

"I just want to know your answer. God willing, I will be faithful to you until the end of my life. Just as the Prophet was loyal to the mother of Khadijah." Reply Sawn while fixing his sitting position.

"Father also know the story of the Prophet and the mother of Khadijah?" Raina asked with a smile, making Sawn's heart beat even faster.

Dag.Dig.Dug-saw.

Sawn really can't control his feelings of love. The closer he gets to the girl of his dreams the more frustrated he gets. Her natural beauty, her shade, her modesty, her motherly attitude, and the softness of her speech made Sawn even more in love.

"I read it this morning." Reply Sawn briefly.

"Wow... That's stunning! I don't think you'd like to read history books or religious books. If we're a match, I wish you could be a good priest to our little family."

We were? I hope you and I will soon be us! Sawn muttered softly while hiding a thin smile behind his face ducking him.

"Sit down, I'll check on my sisters!" Said Raina again while getting up from her sitting position.

The day is getting late but there is no sign that Alya will take Andre out of the Restaurant, in fact Raina is worried and wants to ask Sawn to check Andre's condition, unfortunately, he was too embarrassed to ask for help.

What would you think of me? It's so late, I'll hear mom's anger as a welcome home. Raina muttered in her heart. Now he scratched his head that was not itchy. Seeing Raina's behavior, Sawn laughed in silence.

Raina's seven younger siblings, consisting of a boy and a girl, had gathered and were preparing to return home.

"Kids, come here!"

"Are you hungry?" Sawn asked who Aldy answered with a nod of his head.

"Are we going to eat?"

"Sisters, we'll go home and makkk..." Raina's words were stuck in her throat because she saw Andre crying while running towards her.

"Sister..." Andre dissolved in his pill cry, his eyes looking swollen. Make sure she doesn't cry in a few seconds.

"What's the deck? Why are you crying? Is something bothering you?" Raina asked because she was very worried.

Andre was still crying in Raina's arms when Alya's mother arrived and stood beside Sawn Praja Dinata.

"Tante, why is Andre crying? Did you guys scare him?" Sawn asked with anger.

Ms. Alya looks nervous.

Seeing the look on Alya's face, Sawn was sure something was wrong.

"Sister, they'll take me away with them! I don't want to go. I want to be here with my sister and mother. Hiks.Hiks....!" Andre looked terrified, his entire body trembling.

"Mr Alya, I can't believe you're doing this? What you know, with you doing this Andre would never choose you." Raina said while wiping away the tears from Andre's face. Raina was really upset until she didn't realize she was speaking in a loud tone.

"I'm also disappointed in Mr. Sawn! Didn't I ask you to accompany Andre? Let's go home." Raina said annoyed as she pulled up Andre's arm, which was then followed by her other sisters.

Sawn was still standing around until Raina was no longer visible to her neutrals. He wanted to get angry, but he tried to hold back his anger.

"Tante added to my problem! Now how do I persuade the Lioness? If he's angry he won't talk to me! Aarrggs!" Sawn snorted in annoyance, leaving Alya's mother still crying just to chase after Raina.

...***...

"You guys are home? I thought you forgot your way home until you got home this late!" Said Ms. Rahayu while looking at all her children with a sharp look.

Since the afternoon she waited for the arrival of her children and Rahayu's mother was still sitting in her wheelchair. Raina asks her sisters to come in first because she does not want her sisters to hear her mother's nagging.

"Mbak yu, let them pray first. After that mbak yu has the right to scold her." Said Romlah who stood behind Rahayu's mother.

Ms. Rahayu gestured with her head, ordering Raina into the house. For a moment Raina could breathe a sigh of relief, if Rahayu asked her from where? And what's he doing? After him, he really can't lie.

"Are you not sane? Here bude is like a hot worm, for a second you don't give me any news!" Romlah said annoyed while gripping Raina's arm.

"Do you know your mother? He's really driving bude crazy. Every second he asks, where are you? What the hell are you doing? And you know, what pisses bude the most, you don't want to pick up your phone!" Ms. Romlah really expressed all the frustration she had been in over the past five hours.

Meanwhile, at his residence, Sawn slammed his body into his soft bed. The thought of Raina saying before they parted made her even more annoyed at Alya's mother.

He disappointed in me? It's a big deal! Said Sawn softly, slowly he grabbed the phone from his pocket and then sent a message to the person he missed so much.
