The Passion of the Guards
Chapter 16 - TGSP

Juan went home, after his duties at Roberts' house were completed. The young man came home with his haggard face, today he felt more tired than usual. Though today, he got a good vitamin from his Miss, even his bonus dapet mobile phone from Syera.

"Sore, Ma." 

"Evening, Son." Reply Romlah, as usual the middle-aged woman was watching television in the living room, while watching Rinda who was studying. 

"Sister, help Rinda do the dong job." Pinta Rinda's.

"Later on, I'm gonna take a shower." 

"Promise but yes, help Rinda do the job?"

"Yes adek, sister take a shower first." Rinda nodded her head. While Romlah smiled when he saw his eldest son did not refuse the request of his sister, Juan really grew up to be an older brother and father for Rinda.

Juan went into the room, then took a towel and immediately rushed to the bathroom to clean his body, to make it fresher. It only took ten minutes, Juan came out with his wet hair. There is less taste if bathing without shampooing. 

After getting dressed, Juan came out of the room and approached his sister.

"What's the job, deck?" Juan asked as he sat beside his sister. 

"Mathematics, you're a pinter about math." Answer Rinda. 

"Hmmm, let's see first." Juan took Rinda's book, and learned about it first. 

"It's a tuh, how to gini deck.." Juan also taught his sister how to solve his problems properly, and lucky Rinda can be taught quickly.

"Kerjain as much as you used to be, later brother value yes. Brother Laper, eat first."

"Yes, what the hell is that?" Rinda asked while pointing at the paperbag Juan had brought. 

"It's a cell phone from Non-Shera, he said the sister's phone is old, so he loves the new one for sister." Juan answered, grabbed the paperbag and showed the expensive cell phone that Syera gave him for free. 

Although used, but this phone is still very good. There is not even the slightest beret, maybe only in use a few months ago bored hunt and choose to replace his phone with a new one. 

"Wahh, brother's got a new phone."

"Hmmm, this is boba for you." Juan took out a boba drink from the same paperbag. He and Syera stopped at a store that sold boba milk tea and again Syera bought one for Rinda, he said.

"From Brother Syera too, brother?"

"Yes, he said to you." Juan answered with a smile.

"Wahh, thanks brother." 

"Together, deck. Brother eat first huh?"

"Yes, brother, thank you very much. Say the same brother Syera, Rinda likes her Boba clothes." 

"So, let's say yes." Juan answered, the young man rattled Rinda's hair with anxiety, then went from his seat to the kitchen to eat.

"Ma, what do you eat?" Ask Juan.

"There's only sambel with salted fish, son." 

"No noodles?" Ask Juan.

"Ease, Son." Romlah replied, indeed the food stock is almost exhausted, even rice was a little.

"Jude, Juan ate the same thing." Juan also ate with greed, occasionally he rubbed his sweat that poured because of the sauce is very spicy.

Romlah looked at his son with sadness, the intention of the heart he wanted to please his sons. Welcoming Juan who is exhausted after working with good food, but real she was not able to realize her wishes because of limited costs. 

"Aaahhh her satiety.." Lirih Juan while rubbing her stomach. Although only with sambal and salted fish, but Juan added rice up to several times. 

"Son.."

"Yes, Ma. What's up?" Ask Juan.

"Do you have no money?"

"No, Ma. Not paid, just how many days work." Juan replied, indeed he had only worked for about ten days as a bodyguard and private driver Syera. 

"Hmmm.."

"What's the matter, Ma?"

"So Mama told Rinda to owe instant noodles, but not in love because the debt that was not paid yesterday. Still haven't paid for electricity, water equals Rinda's school annual fee." Answer Romlah. Juan seemed to be thinking, did he have to ask for his salary in advance? But it would be a shame not once, because he had just worked a few days. 

"Rice is also a little, son." Romlah lirih. 

"Father Ma, don't think about it. Let Juan find a solution, tomorrow Juan will talk to Juan's employer, just want to give him a hand first until payday later." 

"I'm sorry, Mom, son. Always bothering you, but can't help you." Lirih Romlah, of course, he feels guilty for relying too much on his firstborn son, even though for his age now, it is suitable for marriage. But, Juan was instead bothered with taking care of his sister who still needed the cost to continue his education.

"Father, Ma. It's Juan's job as a child, Mama don't have to think a lot that is not important huh? Just focus on your health, let Juan who works nyari money to pay off debt." 

Romlah nodded, Juan hugged the mother. She loves the woman who gave birth 26 years ago. 

While at home, Syera was worried because Juan did not return his message. His mind floated up for some reason.

"Ohh, Juan where the hell? He went to the house, hasn't he? I'm worried about gini." Stern muttered, while biting his nails.

Finally, Syera decided to call Juan's number. After quite a long time of ringing, finally Juan's masculine voice sounded. The young man's voice was like a fresh breeze beating on him.

'Hallo, Miss..'

'I finished teaching Rinda to learn, keep eating, now rest.' Reply Juan lirih.

"You know, I'm worried you know. Was that hard, huh bales a message from me, baby?" Sera's grumbling made Juan chuckle softly.

'I'm sorry Juan, baby. The phone was simple in the room, so no wonder if there is a message coming in. I rarely play cell phones, baby.' 

"Jude, I'm glad you're all right." Syera said, her tone of voice sounded softer now.

'Ciee, you're worried about me huh?' Temptation Juan.

"Yes dong, I'm really worried. Should have been, you'd immediately ngabarin when I got home, let me not wait." 

'Yes, yes, my dear. You brought a lot today, why hmm?' 

"Why not, I want to. How do you like his cell phone?" Ask Syera.

'I haven't tried it yet, afraid I can't play it, which is.'

"Geez, so now you're still using old-fashioned e-hape?" Syera asked in surprise.

'Yes, hehe. I will try.' 

"Yaudah, I want bobo first. Who knows, let's meet again. I miss the problem." 

'Haha, you are the one. We just split a few hours, the time is gone?'

"Kangen dong, really bad. You do not stay up, go to sleep after this. Let's meet me tomorrow." Syera sweat, usually men do like to stay up, right?

'Yes, after this go straight to sleep. I'm tired too, want to rest.'

"Yaudah, good night and have a nice dream, honey." 

'Good night too and have a good dream, baby.' Juan replied with a smile, although Syera would not be able to see it, because they only talk by phone.

The call was over, and Syera was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief after exchanging news with Juan. The worry that had filled his heart, made negative thoughts attack him, now no more. Replaced with a sense of relief that made Syera smile herself. 

The girl throws her own body into her soft bed, then rolls around like a misbehaved girl who just talked to Mr. Crush.

"Belg Juan.." Shera muttered while chuckling, imagining Juan's handsome face made his heart warm, especially when the man smiled to make his eyes narrow like a crescent moon. 

Elsewhere, Juan also felt almost the same way. The difference is, Juan can not roll here and there, because his mattress is only enough for him to lie down. However, the man was also messing around by himself. 

In the past, the girl was very jutek. But now, he was spoiled, possessive but considerate. Makes Juan feel excited every day, because he will meet her. Indirectly, Syera became his encouragement at this time. 

Juan shook his head, remembering what he had done with Syera. Starting from her first kiss in the park, then continuing with a few kisses, then this afternoon in a hotel room. Syera was willing to spend money just to check in one of the rooms, but just kissing just did nothing else.

Until finally, drowsiness attacked him, Juan was sound asleep with the shadow of the Shera that he brought into the dream.

The next day, Juan greeted his day eagerly. He took a shower early in the morning, then exercised first before leaving for work. After exercising, Juan said goodbye to his mother for work.

"Ma, Juan went to work first, huh?"

"Yes, Son. Be careful on the road, huh?" Said Romlah while rubbing the top of his son's head gently.

"Yes, Ma. Doain Juan yes, hopefully Juan's efforts result and Juan's employer will give you a minjem first." 

"Yes, I hope so, son." 

Juan put on his shoes, then his helmet and went off on his old motorcycle. As for Rinda, she did not leave school today due to a fever.

Today, Juan's mind is filled with the problems he faces. However, he still has to work to support his mother and sister.

Finally, after almost half an hour of driving, Juan arrived at Roberts' mansion. The middle-aged man appeared to be reading the newspaper in front, accompanied by a cup of tea or coffee. Juan couldn't see it clearly.

"Good morning, sir.." Sapa Juan was nervous.

"August, Ju. Wh why? Your face looks very nervous." Roberts asked, clearly seeing the nervous look on Juan's face.

"For Juan, let's go.." Take Syera who just came out with clothes that are almost like yesterday, tomboy-style.

"Eehhh, yes Miss." 

"Juan, are you okay?" Ask Roberts.

"Yes, Sir. I'm fine, then I'll go first, sir."

"Yes, watch out for the car, Ju."

"Good, sir." Answer Juan. He got into the car and drove it at a moderate speed.

In the car, Syera felt a little surprised when Juan was more quiet than usual, even can be seen clearly if the man was in trouble.

"Which, why? There's a problem, dong's story."

"Hmmm, that'll be." Answer Juan.

"Why not now?"

"Again the road, I'm afraid I'm not focusing on the car, baby." Juan replied again, making Syera nod her head to understand Juan's reason. Though deep down, Syera wonders us what problem Juan is facing that makes his smile fade?
