My bodyguard is a Handsome Bum
My Personal Guard

The man turned around and approached Lara, "You want to pay me to be your bodyguard?"

"Yes, I need a personal bodyguard. And I want you to be my personal bodyguard."

The tramp snorted as if something was funny, "You're so weird, you know I'm just a shabby tramp with no home. How can you be sure to hire me as a bodyguard, why don't you just find a military graduate to be your bodyguard?"

To be honest Lara also does not know for sure the reason why the mind to hire a bum like him, but certainly Lara feels that this bum is not a random person. "So how? Do you want it or not?"

The bum seems to be considering Lara's offer. "If I were your bodyguard, how much would you pay me?"

"How much do you ask?"

"It's ZR City, one of the most expensive cities in the country, so I'm asking for your shares how?"

"Are you crazy?"

"If you don't want to."

Lara looked worried, instead the bum suddenly laughed.

"Why are you laughing?"

"It's funny to see that stupid-looking face of yours. Anyway I'm just kidding, well I'm asking for a salary of a hundred thousand dollars a month, plus give me a place to live how?"

Without hesitation Lara immediately agreed, "I agree!" The two finally agreed.

"Then, Van!"

"Van?"

"Yes my name is Van."

So his name is Van? "Well Van, then let's go to the hospital!"

"okay!"

At the hospital Miranda and Pak Jah were unconscious. They're in a rift looking for where Lara is.

"Did Miss Lara meet?" Ask Mr. Jah.

"Not yet, I'm still trying to reach him. I asked the doctors and nurses who brought us here, but they said no one else but us and the two bad guys died."

After trying many times, Mira finally connected with Lara.

M: Ah Miss I can finally call you, are you okay right? (That is with a worried tone)

L: Yes I am fine, now I will meet you and Jah sir in the hospital.

M: Your miss is not per–

Tut tut's... Not done talking Lara's been hunting hang up the phone.

"What's wrong? Miss is okay, right?" Ask Mr. Jah

Miranda nodded and told Jah sir that Lara was on her way here to pick them up.

"Thank God Miss Lara is fine" said Mr. Jah, feeling quite relieved to hear.

After a few minutes Miranda and Pak Jah who were waiting in the hospital corridor heard Lara's voice calling their names.

"Miss Lara!" Excited sir Jah and Mira who looked sad to see their beloved Miss came to approach with a good condition. Mira immediately approached and hugged Lara. Mira said that she was very worried and scared when she found out that Lara was not with her after she woke up.

"Oh come on Mira I'm fine, I'm the one who's worried about you and Mr. Jah, but after seeing you guys I'm relieved."

Moments later, Mira's gaze was fixed on the shabby man who stood back and forth while biting a toothpick near Lara. Mira with a watchful gaze immediately pulled Lara closer and whispered, "Miss, sorry but do you know that shabby man?"

"Yes I know him."

"What?" Miranda was shocked to hear that, how could Lara know a vagrant man like her?

Lara also without further ado directly introduced Van to Miranda and Pak Jah. "So Mr. Jah, Miranda, this is Van, from today he is my personal bodyguard."

"What?!" Mr. Jah and Mira were both shocked.

"Hi Old man, hi Miss assistant Miss Lara," Van greeted as he waved his hand with a flat face.

Mira again pulled Lara and whispered, "Miss you're not kidding, are you?"

"No."

"Ta-but why—?"

"I'll explain to you everything later."

"Well Miss I'll do what you ask."

"Okay then Van you're coming with Mr. Jah, and Miranda and I are going back to the office."

"I'm coming with you, now you're my boss and my job is to protect you" Van said.

Lara smirked a little, "It turns out you're real at work, but this time it doesn't matter, after all Miracle's sling isn't far from this hospital. I also had the office driver pick me up and Mira anyway."

"You sure?" Van ensure.

"Yes I'm sure."

"Well then you will." Van finally left with Mr. Jah, while Lara and Mira waited for the office invitation to come.

**

On the way to the salon Pak Jah drove and Van sat next to him. Feeling bored, Van turned on the radio to melt the atmosphere. Unfortunately already listening to the radio still he was bored just hearing the news and songs played, finally Van turned off the radio.

"You're bored, sir?" Ask Mr. Jah politely and formally.

"Ah you finally spoke to Old man too, yes I'm bored!"

"Then you go to sleep."

Van joking little. "I've been sleeping a lot, after all, old man, can't you increase the speed of the car?"

"I use the speed according to the standard driving safety provisions sir."

"All right..."

"Oh yes sir, you're really going to protect Miss Lara right?"

Van wondered why the old man suddenly asked so. "Why is that?"

"I just want to make sure, because to me Miss Lara is like my own daughter, so I don't want anyone to hurt her."

"Where are Lara's parents?"

"Had died eight years ago when Miss was fourteen."

"Oh so." Hearing the story of Mr. Jah Van so feel sorry for Lara.

"So Mr. Van, please take good care of Miss, because she's a very nice girl."

Van did not answer and only smiled.

**

In her room Lara tells Miranda all the chronology of events, to the reason why she is convinced to hire Van as her personal bodyguard.

"So just because you feel like you owe your life you decided that?"

"Why not? After all, he's the one who helped us, and he also seems to be very good at fighting."

Miranda sighed, "Yes indeed, tap him it's you know, he's just–"

"Just a bum?" Lara tried to convince Mira, "Mira, I know she's not a trained military person but somehow I'm sure she can protect me."

"Let's see, miss, I just hope your choice is right."

Lara smiled and hugged Mira, "Thank you for believing in me, after all I'm sure once she's in make over her appearance will definitely be much better."

Soon, Lara's doorbell rang.

"Come in" said Lara.

"Excuse me Miss, it's me."

"Oh Mr. Jah, please come in."

"Excuse me Miss."

"Sir Jah is alone, then where's Van?"

"Mr Van's in the lobby she said she wanted to look around the office first."

"That's it, then please tell him to meet me here."

"None right."
