The Passion of the Guards
Chapter 24 - TGSP

After spending a bowl of meatballs each, Juan and Syera decided to go home. Last night, Roberts called several times but Juan who was exhausted after yellowing Syera fell asleep very soundly, so he did not hear the ringing of his phone.

"If papa nanyain why didn't you come home last night, tell me I was drunk." Syera said, as if she knew what Juan was thinking. Honestly, he was confused to find the right reason for Roberts later. 

"Yes, baby." Juan replied slowly, without looking at Syera.

"Darling, I saw your back hurt. Is it because of me?" Ask Syera lirih. Earlier, while taking a shower he noticed a severe cut on Juan's back. Like a new scratch, because the wound is still bleeding. 

"Hmm, yes, dear. You scratched me last night."

"Darling, I'm sorry. I didn't realize, sorry."

"It's okay, honey. It doesn't hurt more than what I did to you last night, I'm sorry, too." Said Juan, he glanced at Syera, then looked forward to the streets that seemed quite empty. 

"I asked for it, baby. Don't blame yourself, we're both enjoying it, right?" 

"Yes, but I mustn't take away what's not mine." Reply Juan again.

"That's it, baby." Syera replied, Juan smiled and took one of Syera's hands, then kissed the back of his hand with a friendly. 

"Your behavior always makes me melt, baby."

"You're not ice cream, baby."

"Hmmm, speaking of ice cream, I want to eat ice cream, baby." 

"Es cream? We stopped at the mini market, right? We have to go home soon, you'll be worried." Juan said, Syera also nodded in agreement. When he found the minimarket, Juan stopped his car. 

"Let me go down, what kind of ice cream do you want?"

"Vanila, chocolate, same matcha, baby." 

"If there's no matcha what, which? You see, this is not an ice cream in the mall that complete all its flavors." Ask Juan.

"If there's none, it's chocolate." 

"Good, baby. Wait a minute, don't go anywhere." Syera nodded her head, Juan went down and entered the mini market. 

In the mini market, Juan takes some ice cream and pays for it, worried that if Syera waits too long, she will lose her mood for ice cream.

After finishing with his payment, Juan was immediately out of the mini market and re-entered the car. He gave me a crackle filled with ice cream that Juan had bought.

"Thank you, baby."

"Together, pretty." Juan replied, the young man went back on his way home. 

"Enak, honey?"

"Enak, I like it. Not to lose this same taste in the mall." 

"Hmmm, that's Rinda's favorite ice cream."

"really? Well, I'd like to see your sister, who."

"Yes, I'll make sure you meet Rinda, Mama too. But don't be surprised about me." Juan.

"No dong, baby. You want to try the ice cream?" 

"Can, baby." Juan replied, Syera scooped up the ice cream and fed it to Juan. 

"Isshhh cold, the. My teeth ache, so I don't like ice cream very much." 

"But good, right?"

"Yes, good darling." Juan answered with a cry. 

After a long drive, finally the car driven by Juan arrived at the mansion owned by Roberts. Syera gets out of the car, leaving Juan alone. The girl went into the house, while Juan had to wash his car immediately, so that tomorrow he could come a bit unfortunate without having to wash the car first.

At home, Syera rounded her eyes when she saw who was sitting on the sofa with her legs raised next door. Beside him, there was the papa who was playing around on his chest. The appearance of the two of them was already very messy. 

"Can't you guys know where to fuck?" Syera said, making the two people immediately turn their eyes away. The woman immediately tidied up her clothes, while Roberts directly buttoned back her pants. 

Seeing that, Syera smiled cynically, especially when she saw the look of the panicked face of the papa. 

"Darling, are you home?"

"If I'm here, then I'm home." Syera replied in her flat voice, she has no expression whatsoever. However, his gaze was extremely sharp highlighting the female figure who was bowing her head. 

"Well, yeah, I didn't come home all night and you took advantage of the situation to be able to act like your own best friend?"

"Not that, Sher.." 

"Keep, what?" Ask Syera back, make her flutter. 

"Darling, papa can explain everything."

"What's? Papah is dating a young woman who turns out to be his own daughter's best friend? Conscious of the reward, she deserves to be a father's son, not a wife." Firmly Syera, made Roberts shake her head.

"Dear, but.."

"What else? That fast you're forgetting Mama's departure?" Syera asked, her tone softened. 

"Not so, baby. But, you also need a female figure to take care of all your needs." 

"Why not just look for Nanny?"

"Then, are you sure about him?" Syera asked again, she looked fiercely at the father, also at the figure of the woman who had not dared to look up her head.

"Yes, papa is very sure of her." 

"Okay, if that's what papa wants. Please, be happy. But, I'm out of this house." Syera said firmly, making Roberts round his eyes, as well as the woman.

"Thank you for making my life worse, Sharon." Lirih Shera, then go out with her quick steps. 

For a long time he was against the relationship between the father and his best friend, yes Sharon is his best friend. Even last night, she was present with him at prom night. However, he went home first because there was his word business, it turned out that this was the business he meant.

"Sheeraa.." Screaming Roberts, he immediately ran after the princess, as well as Sharon. 

Juan who was focused on washing the car saw Syera who ran outside with tears pouring from her eyes. She wondered what made her girl cry like that, but she was okay.

"Juan.." 

"Yes, honey. What are you doing, how are you crying?" Juan asked, he rubbed the tears on the girl's cheek. However, unexpectedly Syera instead hugged her tightly.

"Darling, I'll see your papa." 

"I don't care, I need it." Syera replied, Juan finally just fell silent to let the girl hug him.

"Sheeraa.."

"Take me out of here, Ju." 

"But.."

"Hurry, Juan!" Take Syera a little pushy. 

"But the car's been washed again, baby." 

"Pake your bike, sneak." Juan also according to, he took his motorbike from the garage and turned it on, Syera climbed and Juan immediately stepped on the gas.

"Aaahhhh Sheeraa!" Shouted Roberts, when he saw his daughter go with Juan.

"Bag.." Sharon rubbed the man's arm gently, so that his emotions would melt a little. 

"How is this, Sharon? I don't want to lose my only daughter."

"The choice is the same for you, Mom. If you want your daughter back, you're gonna have to leave me." 

"But I can't, I love you." 

"Yes, I did too. But we can't be selfish. Moreover, Syera is my best friend. I can't hurt her more than this, now I feel so guilty, Mom." Sharon. 

"There must be a way for us, Sharon."

"Come, Mas. But I'm not sure that Syera will melt and accept me as her stepmother." 

"He just needs some time, I'm not really worried about him because he's gone with Juan." Roberts.

"Look, Juan is also a good man when compared to Martin, Mas."

"Hmmm.." 

While on the road, Syera hugged tightly to Juan's waist, her tears still not receding as well, still flowing from her two eyes. Until finally, Juan stopped the speed of his motorcycle when he felt the shirt on his shoulder wet because of the tears of Syera.

"Darling.." 

"Juan.." Rengek Syera, then hugged Juan tightly.

"What's wrong with you, baby?"

"So I want to get married again, just like me." 

"Continue?" Juan softly asked, framing Syera's beautiful face, wiping the tears at the corner of her eyes with her thumb.

"I don't agree, when my stepmom was my age? I don't want to, Ju." 

"Let's tell me again, yeah, now where are we going, which? It's late afternoon, where it's cloudy again, it's gonna rain soon." Said Juan while continuing to gently wipe the beautiful face of Syera.

"I don't know." 

"You want to come with me to the house? But, I'm sorry my house is ugly, at home it's just as makeshift, how?" Ask Juan.

"I follow you."

"Jaudah, hold on dear. Cold?" 

"The wind is cold." Answer Syera lirih. Juan took off his jacket, and put the helmet he was wearing on Syera.

"But you.."

"Father, I'm a man, baby. Hold on, just a minute to go." Syera replied with a nod of her head. Juan continued his journey.

'Will Syera be able to adapt to my home and home environment? Oh, my God, I forgot I had a neighbor.' Inner Juan.
