My bodyguard is a Handsome Bum
The task of a father

After being examined by a doctor, it was revealed that Rey was fine. Lara who was worried also seemed a little more calm made.

"Then ladies and gentlemen, excuse me."

"Thank you doctor" said Lara, who was immediately beside Rey, holding her small hand.

"Sir, then I'll drop the doctor out first" Robert said..

Outside the room, everyone who was there, especially Mira and Gavin, seemed to be worried about Rey's current situation.

"Everything can be calm. Little Tan is fine" said Robert, who just came out with the doctor who treated Rey.

"Thank God..." Everyone was relieved to know that.

Inside the room, Lara looked dejectedly at her son who was currently not awake. While Vander who just stood still without a word could only sit down regretfully and disappointed in himself, because he could not take care of his son properly.

"I'm sorry Lara..." Shrill the man in a tone full of regret. "It's all wrong with my selfishness. I really am the head of a bad household! I've done too much wrong to you and Rey.. Even if I apologize while prostrating before you and Rey, it won't be enough to make amends."

Lara doesn't know what to comment at the moment. What is clear is that he hopes that the relationship between husband and son can return to good, and return to a happy family.

"Vander, you better change your clothes now. Your clothes get wet, you'll get sick."

"I won't be sick! I want to accompany Reynder and see him subconsciously."

"Please don't be stubborn and follow my words Vander, please!"

Every time Vander is stubborn and rash as it happens even unpleasant things. Eventually, she complies with Lara and immediately changes her clothes with a dry one.

When changing his clothes, Vander who was so disappointed in himself even punched the glass in front of him until it broke. "It's useless!" She screamed in a voice full of pain.

For Vander, not being able to look after his own family was the worst thing. He didn't even stop blaming himself for Rey's drowning.

...----------------...

Rey finally woke up

"Mama.."

"Rey dear," Lara immediately hugged her son while crying in relief as she finally regained consciousness.

"Mama don't cry.I'm fine," said Rey, not wanting to see the mother worried and sad.

Shortly thereafter, Vander returned to Rey's room. And when he saw Reynder was conscious, he also felt happy even though his heart was not entirely so.

From where he stood, Van could see his son so coldly that he would not even look at him at all. Feeling this awkwardness, Lara then asks Rey to rest here, while she invites Vander out to talk to her.

Lara takes Vander to their room to talk seriously about Rey. But before speaking seriously, Lara saw Vander's hand hurt by punching the glass earlier.

"Vander your hand is hurt!" Seeing the wound even though it is not severe still must be treated. She told Vander to sit on the edge of the bed and immediately take a medicine box to treat her husband's wounds.

"You're angry and you're blaming yourself again, aren't you?" Tanya Lara looked annoyed.

"I'm useless, and I'm Lara's bad father... Rey must hate me so much" he said in despair.

After finishing dressing her husband's wounds Lara looked up Vander's coconut and looked at him deeply. "And you just keep blaming yourself? Does that change Rey's current position?"

"But he hates me when he finds out I'm his real father."

"Then?" Lara was upset. "Listen Vander, if Rey hated you right now, she's still your flesh and blood. Plus he's a kid and his emotions aren't stable, you should understand that. Not to keep blaming yourself, after all you didn't know I was pregnant. So stop being the stupid guy who feels guilty and be the guy who you should be."

"Lara..."

"You know, when you weren't around. A lot of guys want to marry me and say they want to be Rey's father, but you know what your son said back then?"

Vander furrowed his brows a curious sign.

"Your son said, 'I only have one papa who is currently living far away.' until at last he met you face to face, and only then did I see Rey as she pleases the man to even praise you. You know what that means, it means that Rey liked you from the beginning. It was only possible that right now he needed time to accept this reality. So don't despair, get her heart back!" Lara smiled reassuringly at her husband. "You take it easy, I'll help you too. I'll slowly explain to the boy that you didn't mean to leave that time."

"Mara..." Vander hugged his wife's waist and thanked her. "Thank you for always giving me a chance."

"Vander if you can't win Rey's heart, I won't forgive you."

"I understand."

...----------------...

In his room Rey looked gloomy, even the porridge that was brought by aunt Frida alone she did not touch at all. Soon Lara came in again, and asked her son why his food was not eaten.

"Do you want a bribe?" Lara approached the son.

Rey nodded. Finally Lara fed her son.

"Ma, why aren't you angry?" Rey asked suddenly while being fed.

"angry? Whatchu mean?" Lara.

"Your husband, he's kan—" Rey is even now reluctant to call Vander her papa.

"He's a good man and I love him" Lara replied clearly.

Rey refused to be fed again. Not wanting to force her son, Lara this time chose to follow the way her son thought first. After drinking Lara also intends to leave Rey in order to rest. Suddenly Rey asked. "Why did he leave us, Ma...? Did he not want me?"

Lara stroked her son's cheek. "Have you ever seen Vander hate you? Or do you ever feel like Vander doesn't want you?"

Rey was silent thinking, she did not feel those things at all. But...

"Dear Reynder, mama won't force your feelings. But mama just wanted you to know that everyone deserves a second chance. Because the truth is that humans must have done wrong, as well as me and you. And if you want to know why this is all, you can ask Vander directly."

Lara then lifted a tray containing mamgkuk Rey's food for her to take out.

"Mr...!"

"Yes?" Lara.

"Why do you love her so much?"

"I don't know, what was clear from before until now was that I only loved one husband, your father," Lara smiled and left.

"Can I too?" Rey.

...🍁🍁🍁...

The day changed. In the dining room again Rey does not want to eat together there. Everyone clearly knows the reason. Honestly for Vander at the moment he is very depressed, he is not happy with the current situation. The man suddenly got up from his chair and rushed out of the dining room.

"Honey, but your food is not finished yet" said Lara.

But Vander did not answer and still chose to leave.

"Yourf!" Lara sighed and massaged her temple. As a connector between the pair of children and the father Lara was also made uncomfortable and somewhat confused.

"Sister Lara you're patient, I'm sure it's only a matter of time."

"Gavin's right, you be patient first. However, this is not easy for Rey who is still a child" added Miranda.

"Madam, I hope things get better soon" Tori said.

"Thank you everyone. Then I'll bring food for my son first to his room."

...🍁🍁🍁...

As Vander was enjoying a cigarette while looking at the dark sky on a cold night. Suddenly appeared Robert who came to remind his master who only wore a layer of clothes to enter, because the air was getting colder.

"Sir, you don't torture yourself no matter your health. Madam says you've been eating very little since yesterday and continue to smoke and drink. It's not good sir, even though your physique and antibodies are strong but still consuming those substances in excess can slowly damage your body."

Vander half laughed. "Robert, if you were a father like me, what would you do right now?"

"I don't know sir. I don't think you can ask me who hasn't experienced it at all. But one thing you must remember, you have a reason why you left the mistress at that time. Plus you don't know if at that time the mistress was pregnant."

"I'm afraid Robert, I'm getting scared of not being able to protect them."

"Sir I know very well you're a good man. And little master, he is also a good and smart boy. I'm sure he'll slowly understand and accept you back.. Therefore, you try and do not give up showing, if you are the only best father for the little master."

"Thank you for the advice Robert—"

"Sam-sam..."

"Sister!" Gavin exclaimed with a breath of breath approaching Vander and Robert.

"What's the matter, Mr. Gavin, why are you panicking?"

"What's Gavin?"

"What?!" Robert shock. "Where's it going?"

"I don't know either. All I know is that Lara was crying out to Rey but nothing. Lara's sister almost went into the forest alone, fortunately Tori immediately got in the way."

Vander immediately threw away his cigarette and stepped on it, then walked down.

...----------------...

In the crowded main room everything calmed Lara who was now crying from worrying about her son.

"I have to find my son Mira!"

"Yes I know, but you have to stay calm."

Vander finally came and went straight to his wife.

"Vander, Rey is missing...!" She cried while hugging her husband.

"Dear you calm down, I promise I'll find Rey."

"Master, the last time I saw the little master was playing with Shin on the back porch" said Villa keeper Mahiro.

The back garden is near the forest, it's very likely that Rey is going to the forest now.

"You're all here, take care of Lara. While Robert and I are gonna go find Rey. Gavin and Tori you stand by here, and wait for my orders."

"Good!"

Woff woghh!

"Shin, where's Rey?" Ask Mahiro. Shin who just came was biting Vander's pants while wanting to tell him where Rey is.

...🍁🍁🍁...

Inside the forest Rey who had gone too far into the forest chasing Shin began to fear. "Sham... Where're you?" He cried out in the cold and desolate forest. All that was heard were the sounds of the intruder animals and the longing of the night wolf.

Rey's cold body began to tremble. "This is so creepy, I want to go home...! Where's shin?" Call Rey again.

Sskv!

"Who's there!" Rey's screeching alert I heard those strange sounds since earlier. The voice was like a step, not knowing whether it was an animal or a human step, which clearly made the little man feel terrified at all at this moment. Rey continues walking down the forest hoping to see a way out back to the villa. Unfortunately he even saw a wild boar, he immediately hid so as not to be seen.

Reynder's heart beat violently in fear.

Mamma... Help me, I'm afraid...! Rey wanted to cry right now. But if he were to cry wild animals it would definitely attack him. Fortunately, not long after that the boar left.

Reynders! Rey!

Huh uh? I-It was like papa's voice?!

"Papa I'm here!" Strangled the little man while telling him his whereabouts. He then ran and looked for the source of his papa's voice. Unfortunately, when she had hope of getting out of the forest, Rey instead had to see two wolves.

Lothawat! I can't bother the wolf. Rey tried to step as slow as possible, unfortunately he stepped on a dry twig and made the wolf aware and turned towards him. Looking at the sharp fangs as well as the terrifying eyes of the wolf. Rey immediately ran sekut calma save himself while shouting for help. This was impossible, The Wolf was one of the ferocious beasts with the most terrifying hunting instincts.

"Eghh sick..!"

Rey fell down at that moment. He then immediately got up and turned around. How'this? His body trembled in fear seeing in front of him at this moment there were already two ferocious wolves ready to pounce on him. Rey slid back and closed her eyes in fear. He seemed resigned and did not know what else to do but scream. "Father!"

Ddrr! Ddrr!

The sound of a rifle is heard! Rey immediately opened her eyes and saw the two wolves suddenly fall. When Rey looked up at his head he saw the figure of Vander holding a rifle walking up to him.

But before long Rey was immediately made tense when several other wolves actually appeared and wanted to attack Vander.

"Papa watch!" Vander who realized that shot the rifle straight at the wolves. But he suddenly ran out of bullets.

"Damn it! Why run out at a time like this!"

There's no other way, no matter how I have to make Rey safe.

"Lord...!" Screech Rey when another wolf wants to attack her.

Vander hugged to protect his son. "Don't be afraid, papa's here, son..."

"Papa..," said Rey in fear.

"Now you close your eyes and don't open them until I say open!" Decree Vander.

Rey complied and kept her eyes closed. While in reality Vander was holding back pain when hugging Rey, because his left shoulder was already hunted bitten by a wolf.

Fucking wolf! I can't leave it empty-handed, though it could definitely harm Rey who is with me. Looks like I have to endure this bite pain until help comes, at least not let this beast rip through my body first.

"Eugh...!" Vander groaned as the wolf's fangs deepened into Vander's shoulder.

Papa why such pain? I have to see what's really going on.

"Rey, I'm sorry papa hasn't been able to make you happy. Sorry I left you at that time. But know, son, I love you and Lara very much. I'll do anything for you. Ugh—"

Rey could not stand it anymore and finally opened her eyes. He cried out loud when he found out that the wolf bit his papa. "Was... Papa...! help!"

"Don't cry Rey, trust me we'll be fine."

"Why did you protect me like this?"

Vander smiles. "That's why it's my duty as a father. You're my son Rey, my flesh and blood, I'm not gonna let anything happen to you."

"Papa... I love papa, I really love papa! Papa has to survive because mama's waiting for us."

"Yes I know."

Vander was getting pale he could no longer stand idly by while the wolf seemed to start tearing him apart.

Can't stand still, I need to figure out how to kill this wolf as quickly as possible. Suddenly, Vander tells Rey to run after he says run.

"Papa ta-but you're kan—"

"Listen, Lara will be sad and disappointed in me if it doesn't take you home. So ugh— work with me Rey. Please..."

Although heavy and unwilling Rey finally understood and nodded in agreement.

Vander releases Rey and tells her to run. "Run Rey!"

Rey ran while crying loudly. "Papa I'll get help. Papa hang on..."

While Vander with all his strength must fight the wolf. At the age of a dozen in Crux, Vander was once put in the cage of crocodiles and snakes starving by Gauren, on the grounds of training him. Right now it might be the same, only the strength of the wolf might be greater and ingenious. Vander tried to let go of the wolf's bite with all his might... He used his empty rifle to hit the wolf in the eye and was finally able to escape. Vander held onto his blood-soaked left back.

"Fucking wolf, you know I may be human but the way I work is like you, stalking and hunting. But obviously I'm a lot smarter than you, even if I die I make sure you die too!" Those eyes sharpened that gaze savagely, Vander took out a sharp large twig that he took carelessly to attack the wolf.

The wolf then attacked him again and Vander directly pierced the wolf's eyes with the twig. The beast seemed to be in pain, but the wolf was not so easily defeated, it was an animal that would not leave until its prey was obtained. Unfortunately Vander almost no longer had the calm to fight it, because his blood had been flowing continuously so that his body's oxygen was reduced.

Am I going to die in the hands of this wolf? I consider myself a wolf in fact I must die in the prey of wolves.

Ddarrs!

The gunshot of a rifle was heard and the wolf fell. Vander who lost a lot of blood faintly closed his eyes.

"Father!"

"Mr Vander!" Robert cried the man who had shot the wolf earlier.

"Papa's awake! Don't leave me..." Rey cried shaking Vander's body lying on the ground.

"I'm not dead, son..."

"Your master hang on, help will be here any minute."

Rey cries and hugs Rey, "Papa forgive me, I love papa. Papa has to live to take care of me and my mama."

Vander smiled happily, "I'm so happy that you finally accepted me as your biological father. Rey I-I love you so much..."

"Father!"

I promise to make amends, I promise to be your best father, Reynder Liuzen
