My Bodyguard My Obsession
Not Ethan, but Naufal Prakarsa

"L'E Escailers Restaurant." Naufal murmured inwardly as he read the name of this restaurant. He's been living in Portland a long time and he's only seen this restaurant this time. He remembered once that this was not a restaurant, but as he remembered it was a clothing store. Maybe this restaurant is new. Naufal smiled then he was approached by Arindah.

"Mama's really hungry too."

Naufal looked over and smiled. "We're in???" Ask Naufal.

Arindah nodded her head. Naufal was followed by Vino and Vitto. The restaurant was quite crowded.there were some people enjoying their afternoon while eating. Some others are in another corner there is a room that is blocked by glass walls, where there is a bar, which is suitable for just enjoying a good drink.

They chose a long sofa with a long table also in front of it. And sit opposite because there is only one long sofa that is not facing. There are several tables with long sofas in the middle. The rest of her usual chairs with a circular table.

A waiter came to them and gave them a menu. Naufal looked serious reading the menu and he ordered.

"Creamy truffel mushroom pasta." Vino on waiters. "What do you want???" Vino asked Naufal who was next to him.

"I want a steak." Naufal on Vino. "Wagyu steak with Rosemary garlic sauce. Medium rare." Then he said to the waiters. Arindah then ordered a fettucini Alfredo, while Vitto chose to order a beef bourguignon. Waiters then asked what drink they wanted to order.

Naufal is focusing on the menu. He frowned as he read the cocktail menu that was written. He seemed familiar with the name of the cocktail. "Long Island Iced Blanco's. Lemme fall in love???" His murmur in the heart. The name is like the name of the drink that Leona used when the woman made a drink for her first.

"You want a cocktail????" Tanya Arindah when she saw Naufal focus on cocktail menu. "A glass of cocktail won't get you drunk, order whichever you want." Her speech.

Vino ordered a bottle of wine for the four of them. But then Arindah told if Naufal was interested in other drinks. Naufal directed his gaze to his parents.

"Say which one do you want???" Ask Vino.

"Lemme Fall in love." Naufal said later. Naufal wondered if the drink he ordered was the same as the one Leona had made for him.

"Okay, add one Lemme fall in love." Vino said to the waiters then the waiters took notes and asked to wait for their orders to be delivered.

"Before all I remember is this ain't no restaurant." Naufal.

"Not a restaurant???" Ask Vitto.

"Yes uncle, as I remember this was a boutique, I often pass here so quite memorized. But it turns out to be a restaurant."

"It looks like this is a new restaurant. You can smell this couch, like it's new. Hehe." Arindah Sahut.

Naufal smiles. "Mama, Papa, Uncle, thank you for the help that you gave to the Orphanage earlier, it's so much, even you will also be a regular donor there. I'm really grateful." Ethan muttered.

"Naufal, the help we provide is nothing compared to the services of the orphanage that has cared for and raised you for many years. Papa knows that the nannies there are also good people and very sincere, they are all involved in loving you very much, they have changed the duties of Papa and Mama all this time, so what we give today is still not enough to repay their services." Vino.

"You've been very considerate and loving to all of them. Mama is very proud of you, even every month you always set aside your money to send to them even though your own life is not surrounded by a lot of material and you are just an ordinary person, but their attitude towards them is so extraordinary, they deserve so much to admire you and remember you. That's very noble. Mama is so proud of you. My life has changed, but Mama hopes you still have to be a simple person and not forget who you are. Even if you go back to being Naufal, Ethan's person cannot be lost to you. Ethan is kind, caring and loving." Arindah smiled looking at her son.

"Of course Ma. I will not change my attitude. I'll stay Ethan's private."

Arindah smiled. He was very happy to see Naufal personally all this time. During his return together, Naufal never showed anything bad, and it was increasingly evident when the caretakers at the Orphanage also told him about Naufal's habits long ago and until now never changed. What they said was the same as what Arindah had seen since she met Naufal. Although Naufal was raised without parental affection, Naufal was able to put himself into a good and caring person. Arindah was very proud and grateful that Naufal became such a person.

Until then their ordered food came. Because hungry, they immediately eat it. Waiters seemed busy opening a bottle of wine and pouring it on four empty glasses. Then he said excuse me and left.

Naufal frowned when he saw the glass containing the cocktail in the message. Her appearance was like the one Leona had ever presented to her, but she just threw a smile, perhaps this was just a coincidence her name and appearance were the same. After all, Leona company does not have a restaurant chain or the like. Maybe it was just a coincidence.

Naufal cuts his steak and he smiles seeing his steak cooked properly. His maturity level also perfectly matched the Dengn he ordered. Naufal put the meat on the sauce and prepared it in his mouth. Just one mouthful, Naufal suddenly felt something familiar on his tongue. The taste of her steak and sauce was very similar to the one she had eaten before, just like the one Leona had made for her. But Naufal did not want to be too dizzy . The taste of the food will certainly taste the same if the ingredients used are also the same.

Naufal picked up the glass containing the cocktail of his order earlier and lifted it then sipped it slowly to enjoy the taste. Same. Again the same, this is almost similar to Leona made at that time. EmNaufal frowned. It's a coincidence or what. He's really confused. He then continued to eat his steak while chatting lightly with his parents and his Om.

After they finished eating, they sat and chatted while enjoying the wine. After the gospel they'll go back to the hotel, rest and tomorrow resume the trip to Seattle. Of course, the trip was still unknown by Naufal. Vino just wanted to make a surprise for his son.

In the middle of the conversation, they were suddenly approached by a woman. "Sorry interfering... Good afternoon..." Greet that woman.

Vino and the others set their sights on a woman who was in front of their table. "Yes good afternoon." Arindah Sahut.

"I'm Nancy the butler here. Coincidentally, the manager and the restaurant owner are going out of town, usually those who approach the customer to say hello and ask a few things about the service at this restaurant, because youth is not there then I am assigned to do it. This is the rule here, can I ask for a minute?.?"

"Oh of course, please."

"What about the food and drink??? Is there anything less than its presentation to its taste??? So that your suggestions and criticism can be a reference for us so as not to disappoint our customers anymore. Just tell me, if there's less."

"Ah nothing at all, nothing less, her fettuccini is delicious, how about you???" Ask Arindah to Vino. Vino says it tastes good and there is no shortage of it at all. So is Naufal and Vitto who say their food is also delicious. The service is also very friendly.

"Thank you for the compliment. We hope you can all come back here again sometime, then excuse me. Thanks for the time.". The butler left Vino and his family.

"Service is good, the food is fast. I don't think there's a problem." Arindah Gumam.

After finishing his wine, Vino also invited his wife, son and brother to immediately return to the hotel and rest to recover their energy.

*****

The next day.........

Naufal was surprised by the information he got today where it turns out he and his family are currently heading to Seattle. And they're on their way there now. It takes about 2.5 hours drive from Portland to Seattle.

"Where do you think???" Ask Vino back.

"I think it's in Portland or Oregon." Naufal.

Vino smiled and patted the shoulder of Naufal who was sitting on the s

Front of her. Naufal is in the middle seat along with Vitto while Vino himself sits in the back seat with Arindah. "Where is that, what's the problem???"

Naufal fell silent not answering Vino's question.

"Papa knows you have memories in Seattle, but we're only there for a day, tomorrow morning we'll go straight to the airport and return to Indonesia. Papa Monta's sorry, but Papa didn't mean anything, Papa just wanted to invite you to finish the job, so you can learn."

"That's right, you don't have to fear or worry about anything Naufal. It's one of the things that matters to our company." Vitto Sahut.

"What company are we going to???" Tanya Naufal was curious.

"You'll know later." Murmured Vino from behind then Vino pretended to contact someone so that Naufal did not ask him much. And Naufal chose silence and still with a worried face, but Vitto tried to calm his nephew by inviting him to chat a few things so that Naufal was not tense. They will go directly to the company after that to the hotel.

***

They finally arrived in Seattle. In ten minutes they will arrive at the company. Vino still hasn't told Naufal where they're going now. Naufal stared at the car window. This city, a city that has a lot of memories for him. Naufal memorized every corner of Seattle. He lived here for many years and had a happy or sad story. The city that once gave him life. After a long time, he finally came back. Naufal hopes he doesn't have to meet the people he once knew. Because he really wants to forget all his memories, and wants to live a new life with his true identity as Naufal, not Ethan.

Naufal frowned after realizing that this was a road that often passed by him first every day. Naufal also looked at the tall building that was very memorized. It was the apartment building that Leona lived in where every day she spent her time working in and every day. Naufal closed his eyes, his memories with Leona appeared again and it made his chest tight once more. Why did he have to come here again.

Until a few minutes later, Naufal jumped when the car carrying this turn into an office building which of course is very well known by him. "Haidee Enterprises???" Ethan muttered.

"Yes, this is a company that we will review for we can decide whether or not it is worth taking over." Vino from behind.

"What....????" Naufal.

"Yes, this is the company we're going to review." Sela Vitto's.

Naufal turned to his Om and then looked back. The car stopped right at the front door of the company lobby. "No-no... Papa and Uncle are coming in, I don't want to." Naufal said quickly.

"Why???" Tanya Vino pretended not to know.

"No, Papa and Uncle are coming in, I'll wait in the car."

"Where can Naufal, you have to come in, Papa has already put your name as the CEO of our company, so you have to come along, Papa and Uncle will only help you. It's your job."

"But Pa???? I don't want to, I don't want to see Leona."

"Leona????" Vitto asked pretended to be confused. "You mean this is the old Leona company???"

"Yes Uncle, please just come out, I don't want to." Naufal Whine.

"No way, you have to come. The head of this company isn't Leona, it's what's written on her profile file. Not in Leona's name, so you won't meet her. Come on out, we're waiting." Vino.

Vitto opened the door and went out. Vino patted his son's shoulder to get out as well. But Vino turned to his wife and smiled. Arindah nodded her head. Vino came out following Vitto, and Arindah came forward and sat down next to Naufal.

"Come on, after your Papa and Uncle."

"But Ma???"

Lady Haidee came out of the lobby along with Steven to greet their important guest. They must show a friendly attitude so that the guest can consider helping their company which is in a very bad situation at this time.

Madam Haidee put on her wide smile. And he immediately approached the two men standing next to his car. "Mrs Haidee, this is Mr. Arvino's initiative and this is Mr. Vittorio's initiative." Said Mrs Haidee's secretary.

Madam Haidee smiled and extended her hand to Vino. "I'm Emma Haidee, deputy chairman of Haidee Enterprises, glad to see you." Madam Haidee said.

Vino looked at the old woman. So this is Emma Haidee who has been insulting her son. It was clearly visible from his friendly face. Vino knew that his pretentious smile was made up. "Arvino Initiative." Cold Vino vape.

Lady Haidee took turns to shake Vitto. And Steven too. Vino and Vitto try to remain ordinary even though they actually feel very upset when considering the treatment of these two brengseek humans in front of him.

Arindah smiled. "Mama knows what you're feeling right now, but right now your situation is very different from what it used to be, you're the son of Arvino Prakarsa, Your amazing papa has given you confidence and a big name. If they used to humiliate you, threaten you and want to kill you, you wouldn't dare to. You now have the dignity to be able to silence them, you will not be treated badly and despised again. They're begging you right now, so stick to your chin, show your pride, you're not Ethan but the Naufal Prakarsa, who has big decisions for the future of this company. They'll bow to you, so hold your chin up. Your papa and Uncle and Mama are with you, so don't be afraid, let's face them together." Said Arindah while holding her son's fingers. Naufal finally nodded his head and Arindah opened the car door and came out followed by Naufal.

"Let's go in.!!" Mrs Haidee invited Vino and Vitto in.

"Wait a minute, my son is still inside. He actually has the highest right to review, and decide everything. He's the CEO of our company, I'm just helping him. You could say I'm his deputy, the CEO is Naufal, my son."

"Oh sorry-sorry Mr. Vino." Madam Haidee said.

The car door opened, and a woman came out from inside. Vino looked back and smiled, extending his hand to hold Arindah. "This is my wife, and that's her behind my son." Vino.

Arindah came down and was immediately greeted by Madam Haidee and invited to shake hands. Then came out a man in a neat suit like Vino and Vitto. Naufal came out and looked up to see who was in front of him. Lady Haidee retreated her steps when she saw who had just stepped out of the car. "E....Ethan...???" Madame Haidee muttered with her mouth agape.

Vino smiled. "Not Ethan, but Naufal Prakarsa. My son and CEO of the Corporate Initiative. Ethan is his false identity." Said Vino with a stifling look towards Madam Haidee and Steven who both looked surprised once.
