My bodyguard is a Handsome Bum
Happy birthday dear...

"Vander?"

Lara who was initially annoyed immediately looked elated and jumped tightly hugging the man who had been waiting for her for a long time.

"You're a little bit skinny, huh?" Vander asked as he hugged while lifting Lara's body.

"No, maybe you're getting stronger!"

Van sniffed the scent of Lara's body and let go of her embrace. "You're cooking, huh?"

"Yes" he replied. "Why doesn't it smell good?"

"You're always good" said Vander.

"Oh yes, there was a man who did not work to send me these flowers, you see!?" Lara showed the flowers delivered by the nameless man she placed on the living room table.

"Lack of work you say?"

"It's a lack of work, because sending flowers but not telling the name, makes it difficult for people!" Grouser Lara.

Vander suddenly looked at Lara with an intimidating look until Lara misbehaved.

"W-what the hell is seeing me like that?"

Vander suddenly bit into Lara's ear, so the girl screamed in shock. "Vander you're why!"

"I'm scolding you, because you might say I'm out of work!"

"Eh?" Lara. "Ja-so you mean those flowers were from you?"

Van nodded with an annoyed face.

"M-I'm sorry I don't know, there's no end to the name of the sender, plus why so many...?"

"These seven bouquets of roses with different colors represent all the colors in my heart, which I felt when I met you again, you could have said I had nothing to do!" Vander.

"I'm sorry but, I didn't think you were this romantic," said Lara smiling shyly. "What do seven roses mean?"

"White I miss you, red I love you so much, pink I want to see you, orens I love you, orange you're always on my mind, yellow you're my happiness, and purple means I'm crazy about you."

A gentle sigh was immediately present in Lara's heart, her face was hot from being happy to mix with shame. Vander you really held me hostage in the love trap you laid.

"Darling thank you for the flowers and.I'm sorry for not knowing," Lara persuaded Vander. But Vander is not a stupid man himself manipulative instead take advantage of Lara's guilt. The man then scooped up her body and took her to the room.

"Eh-Why are you holding me all of a sudden?" Lara was confused and panicked.

"I'm pissed at you, so you're gonna have to put a damper on my frustration at you."

"And I'm sorry...!"

"Sorry not enough to be done in bed!" Vander said, then closed the door to the room by kicking it.

"Vander we can have lunch first" said Lara looking for an excuse.

"I'd rather eat you!" The man called for no chance at all for Lara to escape.

"Vander slowly," Lara's cry rang out from inside the room.

**

Mira and Gavin decide to stop by for lunch together. Seeing Miranda seem to be very angry at Lara since yesterday made Gavin so awkward, he decided to ask Mira directly.

"Oh yes Miranda, are you still angry with Lara's sister?"

Mira who just wanted to chop up the dumpling directly did not so. The woman sighed instead, "I'm actually mad at her because I love her. I was upset by his sometimes thoughtless attitude and ended up endangering himself!" Mira.

"But with you quiet so surely Lara's sister will feel confused."

"I want him to realize his mistake, he can't always be reckless and naive going on. He must be aware, around him many enemies that could even threaten him unexpectedly, if he was not vigilant and thought long he would be easily deceived. I know there's Vander nearby but.... man also can't possibly be every second there is nearby right...?"

"Yes you're right, but Lara's nature is so, maybe she means well but she doesn't think the consequences are for anyone else."

"Huf! That girl is too stupid sometimes! I like to be upset myself."

Gavin smiled faintly at Miranda.

"Why are you smiling like that? Laughing me?" Tandas Mira with a fierce face.

"What a hell of a bitch! I smile because... I didn't think that behind your rigid nature, to the point and jutek, it turns out that you are very caring and sensitive to people around you."

"I take that as a compliment" Mira smiled. "Me and Lara, somehow even though we have no blood relation but I really love that girl. Maybe because we've been together since childhood so that mutual affection grew just like that," said Mira then chopped her food.

Gavin laughed again. "You know Mira, I feel that your nature is a bit like that of Vander" Gavin said.

"No way, I'm not as good as him!" Mira said as if she did not accept.

"Yes, but hearing you tell me that, I felt that Brother Vander was like that to me. He does like his mouth sharp but what he says is all the truth. He likes to suddenly hit me, but that's so I don't become a whiny guy and understand that life is hard. He also likes to be angry with me, even locking me in a weathered warehouse all day when I was wrong. At first I always thought he was a cruel and very cold man. But slowly I realized that what he did to me was all to teach me how to survive in this harsh world. Brother Vander he's a good and responsible man behind his cold demeanor and aura."

"Do you look like you're really impressed with Vander?"

Gavin smiles. "Yes, he's like a father and a brother to me. I can't imagine how I would be right now if no one reached out to me."

"That's what love is so hard to guess, that's why you're in love" Gavin said.

"Hizz, you've never been in love either!?" Reply Miranda.

After a day in the room doing 'physical activities' with Vander, Lara felt her body felt sticky and wanted to clean. The girl slowly breaks away from Vander's arms and gets out of bed. He takes Vander's black shirt for him to oversized to cover his slender body. Lara slowly went out of the room and went to the kitchen to drink, as well as eating the rest of her fetuccini earlier. After she finished cleaning her plate, Lara Langsunt looked at the clock on her phone.

"It's ten o'clock in the evening, Vander's two hours away from his birthday." Coincidentally this morning Lara had also made a simple birthday cake for Van. He also deliberately did not wake his lover now, because he wanted to make a surprise exactly twelve o'clock.

"Take a wait, I'd better clean up!" Lara went to the bathroom.

Not feeling two minutes more already want twelve o'clock at night, Lara who was ready to ponder Vander even failed, because it turns out she was up first. While wearing his black T-shirt, Vander exits the room and calls Lara.

"Lara...! Honey, where are you? Lara Hazel, Miss Lara...!"

"Surprise!" Lara who was clean and changed clothes suddenly appeared with a cake while singing a birthday song for her lover.

What strange feeling is this? Vander's heart immediately felt warm, but at the same time somehow he also wanted to shed tears.

"Vander, let's blow out the candles!" Said Lara thrusting the number 29 candle into the Van to blow.

Whuss! Vander blew the candle off.

"Happy birthday dear" said Lara congratulating him and kissing the cheek of the man. Because of the weight he then put the birthday cake on the table, then megajak Vander sat on the sofa. "Here you sit next to me!"

For Vander, who's only the first time in a lifetime of birthday surprises, it feels like he doesn't know what to do right now. All he did was obey all the words of his lover.

"Now you close your eyes."

"uh? Now?" Vander said without plain.

"Yes now..."

The man closed his eyes and could not be opened until Lara told him to open his eyes.

"Now open your eyes."

Vander opened his eyes slowly and,

"But...!" In front of her, Lara gave a black box decorated with gold ribbons.

"It— for me?" Vander asked hesitantly.

"Yes to you, open it up!"

Slowly Vander opened the ribbon and saw the contents. Instantly the man was bowed silently looking at the dark-colored classic watch with an inexplicable gaze.

"Vana... You don't like it, do you? If you don't like it..."

"Like! I love it so much," Vander suddenly hugged Lara, "I really like the gift, thank you, it's the most precious gift I've ever received from someone in my entire life."

Lara looked at Vander gently and stroked his cheek. "Honey..," he said.

Vander's usually sharp gaze instantly turned sad. Her eyes were like they were glazed staring at Lara at this moment.

"Van... Why are you?" Ask Lara confused.

The man immediately wiped his eyes which almost came out of tears. "I'm happy, sad, moved, and I don't know what other feelings I can explain. It's definitely the first time in my life I've had a surprise on my birthday" she said.

"Since I was a child I lost my mother, my father didn't care about me. Never mind remembering my birthday, remember she had a child just maybe not."

This guy, I don't know if he's got any good memories in the past or not. Every time he told me about his family, his eyes always held a lot of sadness that he could not express.

"Then from now on, every birthday I'll be the first to say it and give you a gift" Lara smiled.

I can feel Lara's smile. Vander then grabbed Lara's hands and kissed her. "Thank you, thank you for all the love and sincerity you've given me up to this moment."

And that day was the best birthday for Vander.

Lara's...

He is everything to me today, tomorrow and forever. He is like a season that offers all that man needs.

Cherry blossoms in the spring.

Sunshine in the summer.

Lush leaves in autumn

And as soft as snow in the cold season.

Lara my dear.
