My bodyguard is a Handsome Bum
Virtual Gathering

In her room, Lara is seen holding a calendar and doodling every date that has passed since Vander left. Counted almost a week he had not met or communicated with his lover. Lara looked annoyed and moody because Van really had not contacted her at all even sending a message was not. "Did he forget about me and get a new girlfriend there!" lara felt upset by herself. "But I sent him a message myself from the beginning, so he wouldn't have to call me if he was busy." Lara was so sorry for sending him that message. "I should just say, any busier should call me! Huft I'm a fool!" Lara cursed herself.

Actually, Lara wanted to call Vander but she was prestigious, she was afraid that the man would be big-headed because he knew I missed her. "Argh I miss him, why the hell does he like to be insensitive!" Lara propped up her chin and wondered. "What is Vander doing now?"

In the cotton fields Vander looked seriously noted and observed the growth as well as the cotton produced. He thought that if the cotton from this field is good, then this can be used as the main raw material for making textiles in Miracle. Moreover, the selling price in RK is relatively cheaper than the selling price of produce from plantations in other cities that are already famous for their crops.

"Ehm, you seem tired? Here you drink first," Akina suddenly came and gave Vander a bottle of mineral water.

Vander received the mineral water and immediately gulped it down. "Ah... This is very fresh thank you Miss Akina," said Van.

"Sama-sama, but. don't call Miss, just call me Akina after all it looks like we are the same age," said the woman.

"Oh, how old are you?"

"I am twenty-seven years."

"Oh, I'm almost twenty-nine this year" said Vander.

"Is that so?" Akina so smiles knowing herself and Van sepantaran. "Oh yes Vander, it's lunchtime why don't you go to the dining room? Don't you like the food made by us?"

"Oh that's not it, I just focused too much on researching these cotton to forget to eat" explained Vander.

Akina gave a small smile looking at Van who was so hard working. "You work so hard, do you want to make a cotton mill or something?" Akina became curious why Van joined this program.

"I have a plan, but..." Vander.

"But what?"

"It's nothing, it looks like I'm really feeling hungry this time. I'd better get to the dining room." Van grabs Akina's hand and returns the mineral bottle to Akina. "Here's the bottle, again thanks for the drink, me first!" Vander leaves Akina for the dining room.

"So she held my hand?" the woman was smiling herself looking at the bottle of mineral water Vander had been drinking.

In the cafeteria Miracle Gavin is seen having lunch with Miranda. I don't know since when, but some days the communication between Mira and Gavin began to improve. Both are now seen so often lunch together or just hanging out while drinking coffee.

Gavin sipped ramen noodles from his chopsticks. "Oh iwya Miwanda, I think we are already peaceful" said Gavin with his mouth full of ramen.

"Slow down your food just spoke!" Miranda Tegur.

"Yes sorry, yes the point is we have to make peace for the peace of Kak Lara."

What Gavin said was true as well, after all there was no benefit at all for Mira to continue fussing with Gavin.

"I agree, but on condition that you stop calling me aunty!"

"Yes, yes.., anyways I call you that because you first started calling me a rancid boy!" Gavin grumbled and sipped his ramen again.

"Yes, the end of your face does look very young. I thought you were a teenager, so I call you a boy."

It's true, despite his age of 25, but Gavin's face is still like an 18-year-old teenager.

"OK then from today on we make peace," Gavin reached out his hand to shake hands with Mira.

With her flat face Miranda shook Gavin's hand. "Agreed!"

Finally Mira and Gavin bardamai. Now they look more compact to cooperate especially in looking after Lara.

"Eh yes Miranda, the Jeden... She likes Lara's sister, right?"

"Yes... That is, since the first Jeden was always chasing Lara. Unfortunately Lara never responded to him" explained Miranda who had known Lara and Jeden since they were children.

"I thought she was Lara's ex-sister or her boyfriend."

"Why do you think that?"

"So she looks so mean as if she's her boyfriend. Brother Vander though cruel and very fierce but if the same woman especially sister Lara in never rude tuh!" Gavin.

"I've known Lara since childhood, to me she's been like my own sister. And as I know at almost twenty-two he's really only the first time he's in love with a man."

"really? So now that Lara's sister has a boyfriend, who?" Search Gavin.

"God! Don't you know your foster sister and Miss Lara's relationship?"

Gavin shook his head in surprise. "Ja-so it's true they're both..." Gavin stuck both fingertips together.

"Yes..."

Gavin sumringah's face and immediately gave thanks, "Thank God, he's not single anymore!"

Miranda who saw it became curious why Gavin was so happy to know. "Why are you so happy?"

"I'm glad that Vander's finally found love again,"

"About? Whatchu mean?" Miranda narrowed her eyes towards Gavin

"Ummm.. it..." Gavin finally tells Miranda the figure of Vander's former lover named Nagisa who died 6 years ago.

"Well so he's got an ex, yeah no wonder anyway. Vander is indeed very handsome, even if he has an ex-dozen also I'm not surprised."

"But you don't tell Brother Van I told you this story, Mira!"

"Just calm! I wouldn't tell Miss Lara about this either. I'm afraid that their relationship will become strained if Lara finds out about this." Seeing Gavin who is quite flexible telling Vander's past makes Miranda think to dig deeper into his curiosity about Vander who for him is mysterious.

"Oh yeah Gavin, you know Van for a long time, right? You can tell me about him, you know a lot about that guy, right?"

Gavin's face panicked immediately. Well how is this, Miranda seems curious about Kak Vander's background, but I can't say. It would be too dangerous if more and more people knew that actually Vander is a former member of the crux that is being sought at this time.

"Um— about Kak Vander's past, in-he's just an ordinary poor man whose work is odd and ends up being a vagabond" said Gavin.

From his tone, Gavin did not seem to be honest. That's only natural considering Vander must have reminded him not to tell anyone. But anyway he still has to know clearly who the real figure of the man Lara is dating at this time, and Lara should also know that.

After lunch, Vander gets a call from Gavin. He also lifted it up.

Van: Yeah hello what's up? Is there something bad going on?

Gavin : Brother! Why haven't you called Lara this week?!

Van :'s :..... Why is he?

Gavin: Lara's sister so often looks uninspired, she seems to really expect you to call her. Poor him, why are you so bad! Then I'd better be his girlfriend.

Van: Hey what do you mean!

Gavin: Never mind Brother, I already know everything from Miranda. You and Lara's sister are actually dating, right?

Van : Sighing... Is she okay? (Sounds worried)

Gavin: You call yourself if you want to know. I just want to remind you, your girlfriend is beautiful young and sweet. So don't regret that he was taken by another man just because you're insensitive! Yes, bye!

Van : Hello! Hola!

"Argh shit! Deadened!" Van clucked in annoyance.

"Why son?" Ask uncle Johan who suddenly came to Vander at the dinner table.

"It's okay, I just finished someone's phone."

Uncle Johan nodded in understanding. "Oh, young man, do you have a girlfriend or a wife?"

"Just want to know, because these women, especially those your age, seem to like you. Including Miss Akina who was there!" Van looked towards the direction where Akina was watching him at this moment.

"Miss Akina she seems to like you, she always looks at you. I saw that Miss Akina was beautiful and she was smart, if you're single try to give her a chance, maybe you're a good match" Johan said.

Van laughed briefly, "You're trying to match me, old man?"

"No I'm just—"

"Thank you for your concern, but unfortunately I already have a woman who can't be replaced by anyone. So sorry I couldn't give Akina a chance, excuse me..." Van breezed away.

"It turns out he's a loyal, great handsome guy!" praise uncle Johan smile.

At his apartment Lara assisted Miranda in preparing dinner. Since Van left, Lara has lived with Miranda and Gavin.

"Gavin help you get this cow curry to the dinner table!" Lara's orders.

"Good Brother!" Gavin did as Lara asked, taking the cow curry to the dinner table. After all the food who the three of them had gathered at the dining table to start having dinner together.

"Good meal..." Say the three of them.

Gavin who just ate Lara's cooking antusis tasting it.

"How good is it, right?" Ask Lara.

"Hmmm... It's so delicious! Brother Lara you are indeed the dream wife of a million people!" praise Gavin very honestly.

Seeing Gavin praising her cooking and acting so innocent, Lara suddenly remembered Vander. The man usually always praised his homemade cooking with a sumringah face.

"Yourf!" Lara sighed

"Miss Lara why don't you eat?" Mira.

Lara put both her shoulders up. "I don't know I suddenly don't have an appetite."

"Sister Lara, do you miss Vander's sister?" Gavin.

Lara just smiled blandly assume it, before long Lara's phone on the table vibrated there was a call coming in. The girl grabbed her phone. Looking at the screen of her phone, Lara's face immediately became excited.

He finally called me! Screaming for joy in the heart.

Lara went to the room to pick up the phone. "You two just eat delicious, I'm going to the phone room! Hye!"

Mira and Gavin turned to each other and raised their eyebrows, as if they knew who was calling Lara at the moment.

*

In her room, Lara picks up the phone from Vander. "Calm down, calm down I have to be calm can't sound too excited. Ehem!"

Lara : Hello...

Van: Hi, how are you? Sorry I just called you. You're not mad at me, are you?

Lara who was about to act cool was actually difficult. He could not bear to be angry and also nagged at his girlfriend.

Lara: Why the new phone? No signal? Dead phone? Been busy? No time, or have you forgotten me?

Van : Miss...

Lara: Van why didn't you call me! I'm worried to know! I wanted to call you but... But I'm afraid you're busy, you're deliberately upsetting me! Huh!

Van: We just video call, huh?

Lara: Whatever!

(Lara and Vander are now making video calls)

Although only through virtual finally the two can see each other.

Van: Beautiful and sweet Miss Lara why are you pouting?

Lara: Don't seduce me!

Van: I'm not seducing. I miss you so much, do you miss me too? (sounds serious)

Lara's defensive fortress finally collapsed, she could not lie how much she also missed her lover.

Lara: I miss you every day...

Van: Me too, I'm almost crazy. Every night I pictured you with me making my brother stand up, so I had to do it in the bathroom alone.

Lara: Vander why are you so vulgar!

Van: I really want to kidnap you, take you with me here. Oh, is there a Gavin fuckin' with you?

Lara: No, here she is a sweet and submissive child. I should be asking, as long as there's no me, are you tempted by another woman. You're a normal guy, after all.

Van : Since I saw you no other woman can make my desires stir, so Miss just take it easy.

Lara: Where is it possible!

Van: You want to see mine now standing up!

Lara: Ah yes-yes no need! I believe it!

Van: This is one of the reasons why I didn't want to call you. I saw you but I couldn't touch you, it was excruciating. Playing alone is not good.

Lara: Okay enough! My face and body get hot when you talk about it! (Lara was shy)

Van: Miss, are you wet now? (Tempting Lara)

Lara: Stop talking about it! Anyway you're fine there. I will miss you from here.

Van: You too, take good care of yourself. Call me right away if there's anything.

Lara : Yeah... Um— seems like it is enough to get here first. I'm afraid it's getting missy.

Van: Yes well, then good night, my little lady...

Lara: Good night baby...

(Both turned off their video calls)

Before long Lara's phone galloped again, apparently Van sent her a message. Lara read the message.

Mood Lara is so good now. "I'm glad Van's okay and misses me. I'm getting impatient to meet him in person."
