My bodyguard is a Handsome Bum
Cherry Semanis

At night Lara could not sleep, but she had been trying to close her eyes. The hour hand on the wall had shown at two in the morning, it was a sign that Lara had been trying to sleep for two hours but could not. Lara poked her head down and screamed to vent her stress. "Argghh. Why is it so hard to sleep, it's all because of him!"

Lara sat lying on her bed, with her body wrapped in blankets she was pensively frustrated because her brain could not stop thinking about Van. His sturdy and muscular body shape, even the scent of Van's body like he could still feel at this moment.

"Why am I really? All my life I've never thought of men like this?"

Lara really does not understand what feeling she is feeling right now, is it true that this is the feeling of people falling in love? Even just remembering Van's face makes Lara like she wants to continue to see him, wants to hear his voice and wants to be near him. "Van what are you doing? Is he asleep?" Lara was very curious to know what Van was doing, but she was embarrassed to call him first, especially she had no reason to call the man.

Lara placed her palms on her chest, feeling her heart beat racing each time she remembered and imagined Van's face, plus her sexy husky voice as if whispering. Unknowingly Lara's face was instantly red. "Gosh, what the hell am I?" Lara felt strange to herself.

"Wait a minute!"

Suddenly Lara remembered the novel she had read in school, about a girl who secretly liked her upperclassman, the depiction of the mood of the female characters in the novel was more or less similar to what Lara felt today. "Don't I really like Van? Am I really in love?Lara was stunned she immediately patted both of her cheeks. "No, no! I may have fallen for that man. This must be the effect I've never been together, so it's like this. "But if so, how...?" Lara was confused by her feelings. Is it true that he feels right now because of real love or just just interested in Van?

"Am I just trying to ask Mira." Lara grabbed her phone on the nightstand and called her assistant.

**

Meanwhile, Miranda has been asleep since. Suddenly the phone rang, the woman woke up fumbling with half-open eyes looking for her phone.

"Yes, hello?"

...

"Miss what's wrong, it's still early in the morning, why call me hoam..." Mira seemed to cough heavily until she received the phone call only she was half conscious.

...

"Well you ask what Miss?"

...

All right, ask me I'll listen.

...

Miranda tries to listen to Lara, but this time Mira seems to lose her drowsiness, as a result Mira instead falls asleep again and does not listen to what Lara says.

**

"Hello, hello! Mira you're still there, right?" Mira did not answer again. "Hais, it looks like Mira is sleeping while listening to me." Lara immediately turned off her call. "I feel bad for Mira because it interfered with her break.

**

Because Lara still could not sleep, she finally went down to the kitchen and made a glass of milk, known milk is quite effective help people who have trouble sleeping. Usually Lara asked for help to make the waiter, but since it was late and all the servants had rested so she made it herself. After making the milk Lara brought the milk to her room

However, Lara instead of immediately drinking her milk, she instead suddenly took her phone and opened her screen in the hope that Van might send her a message unfortunately there is no message at all from Van. "It's crazy, why would I expect once he sends me a message?" Lara's face immediately wrapped in disappointment and sadness. "It's not fair, I keep thinking about it, while he's there could be sleeping or thinking about another woman, huh sucks!" Lara, tired by herself, finally drank her milk and then went back to sleep.

At nine in the morning, Van had been waiting for Lara at 7:30 at her residence, but the girl did not come out. "What is Miss Lara doing? Why for so long, I asked the waiter they said Miss woke up. But he doesn't usually have bad luck." Lara finally showed up. As usual she looked beautiful and classy with her office style, but this time she was wearing sunglasses. Lara got into the car and told Van to walk. On the road Van continued to see Lara from the rearview mirror, he wondered why Lara never took off her glasses. Today Miss also looks more quiet and calm. "Um, I'm sorry, but why do you keep wearing those glasses?"

"Why is that?"

"No, I just want to know."

Lara finally took off the glasses.

There was a little dark circle in Lara's eyes. So that's why I wear glasses. "Do you know why I wear this?"

"What's the way you're sleep deprived?"

"Yes!"

"You shouldn't stay up Miss, it's not good for health."

It's good to talk like that, as long as you know I was unable to sleep last night because of you! Lara's grouse in the heart.

"Van, let's buy some flowers first, shall we?" Lara Pinta.

"Flower for what?"

"I wanted to make a pilgrimage to my parents' graves, and suddenly I missed them." From the reflection of the rearview mirror Van can see clearly the eyes of Lara who looks sad when talking about her parents.

"All right, Miss."

Miranda who had come to the office came to Lara's room. But her secretary said that Lara had not yet arrived. "Why hasn't Miss Lara arrived yet?" Miranda finally called her boss.

Miranda: Hello Miss you are okay right?

Lara: Yes Mira I'm fine, what's wrong?

Lara: No, I was deliberately late because I stopped by papa and mama's tomb first.

Mira: So is it? Yasudah then.

Lara: is there anything you need with me?

Mira : I wanted to talk about the schedule of Miss's meeting and Appletree's officials, they asked for the meeting to be brought forward the day after. Can miss?

Lara: You try to ask my secretary if I have an empty schedule tomorrow or not.

Mira: Well then I hang up Miss.

"Bye!" Lara ends her conversation with Mira. Lara is currently in the elite cemetery where her parents are buried. While carrying a bouquet of her favorite dafodil flowers, Lara finally arrived in front of the graves of her parents. The graves of Lara's parents are next to each other, and her tomb looks well-kept and clean. Lara smashed each of the bouquets on the gravestones of her parents. Lara is seen rubbing the two headstones and praying.

From a distance of about five meters Van watched Lara who was praying quietly and solemnly in front of the graves of her parents. "Looks like she misses her father and mother very much, Miss Lara is an only child, does she feel lonely after being left behind forever by her two masters?" Van stared pityfully, he looked up at the sky with his eyes closed and imagined how Lara's feeling when she first knew her father and mother died simultaneously, surely her heart was completely broken at that time. "How did he deal with it at such a young age?"

"Vane..." Brisque Lara.

"Oh Miss I'm done? I'm sorry I didn't see you coming."

"What are you doing? Why are you looking up with your eyes closed?"

"No, I'm just feeling the cold wind in the fall."

Lara laughed a little.

"What's wrong? Am I acting silly?"

Lara shakes. "I was just a little bit unexpected, it turns out you're quite melancholy in enjoying the beauty of nature."

"Yes a little bit, I'm so embarrassed" said Van

Lara laughed again. Seeing Lara smile and laugh made Van's heart feel warm.

"Miss if I can tell when your parents died?"

"Eight years ago in a pretty tragic car accident" Lara explained with teary eyes. Looks like Lara's still traumatized if she remembers that.

"Miss I'm sorry to make you a–"

"No really! I'm sad to remember that, but I don't want to dissolve into grief." Lara immediately smiled as if she wanted to tell him that she was no longer dissolved in grief because of the loss of her parents. Van so felt quite relieved because Lara did not drown in grief for too long.

"Here you go, we better get back to the office. It's not good that the boss is coming too late."

"Miss wait a minute!" Van suddenly placed his hand on Lara's hair as if rubbing it. "Eh why?" Ask the girl how she was prepared.

"I just got rid of the flower petals in Miss's hair" Van explained followed by a faint smile.

"Oh just the petals, thank you I thought what," said Lara slightly blushed embarrassedly.

"There can't be a single flower in Miss's hair."

"Well, if it's just a little no problem!"

"Of course it's a problem" Van argued.

"Why trouble? It's just a flower."

"The problem, out of pity for the petals they become less beautiful when juxtaposed with Miss Lara."

DEGH!

Again Lara's heart began to beat irregularly, her face became blushing. Why is he suddenly talking like that?

"Miss is hot? Miss's face is suddenly red?"

"I'm not too hot, let's go back to the office!" Lara with a sense of shame went first.

Van could only smile a little and say, "He's really sweet as sweet as a cherry when he's so embarrassed."

Miranda had already arrived at the airport to pick up Jaden Lee, she saw his watch. "It should have come out of this door." Before long the somewhat heavy-sounding voice of the man called out to him from behind.

"Mirishandah!"
