Asa At The End of Lembayung

Zahra's Proposal

After getting out of the car, in her footsteps towards the apartment, Rena always lowered her head not to speak a word, her fingers drowned in the folds of Rehan's hand that were deliberately put together, as if worried that in spite of it he could lose and be left behind at that very second, his sigh sounded so heavy his sadness was so densely attached.

Zahra and the others followed in the footsteps from behind, her tears began to dry up, her mind was glaring everywhere, she wondered if the Rena family did not know what was happening to their children and sisters.

"Keiko-chan thank you for today and thank you for giving our family a chance to come to this country and take a free vacation, if we don't meet Keiko-chan, then, maybe we will never be able to know the circumstances of my best friend, again thank you," said Zahra, bowing her head after they arrived at the apartment.

"No, no, it's nothing much Zahra-san, because Rehan-san and you and your family have also helped me when I was in danger, even though you never knew me before, but you guys were so sincere in helping me to be willing to take care for this one month, so I'm actually the one who should thank you," Keiko replied by doing the same, after which she was told to go home.

"Darling, can you help Rena take a bath first? let me and Kinan prepare his dinner" exclaimed Rehan as he helped Rena sit on the sofa.

"Alright, let me prepare the warm water first, dear Rina please take care of aunt Rena first yes," said Zahra who went to the bathroom, who was in the bathroom, while Rina who was sitting near Rena just looked at her without even touching her.

After bathing and eating together, they went to sleep, Rena accompanied Kinan, while Zahra with her husband and son.

"Abi.." said Zahra calling her father but paused as if hesitant to continue his words.

"What's Rina?" rehan asked curiously, because since returning home from that place Rina looks a lot of silence, not as usual.

"Will Abi leave Umi with Rina, and choose Aunt Rena?" asked Rina, the question suddenly made Rehan and Zahra surprised, they did not expect her daughter to ask such a thing.

"Hmmm..." Rehan breathed heavily, trying to find the right words to explain it to his daughter.

"Whatever happens Abi will never leave you two, let alone Rina is Abi's daughter and Umi our soulmate, a precious gem for both of us, where maybe Abi left you," rehan said as he gently stroked the hair of their beloved daughter.

"But Abi, on the other hand, Rina also could not bear to see the state of aunt Rena is so sad," he said again, Zahra who heard him more astonished, more astonished, she did not expect her sensitivity and care to be anything but reflective of her daughter being a child under five.

"Hmw.. We better get some sleep, baby, it's late at night because tomorrow we're going to get ready to go home" Rehan said, trying to deflect the little princess's question.

The clock shows two in the morning local time, but it looks like two people have woken up and are doing Lail prayers.

"Kangs... How your next action, I will accept and be willing whatever the decision," said Zahra trying to suppress his voice as slow as possible, so as not to be heard by others.

"But what about Rena, we can't possibly leave her here, even if there's Keiko, but as Kang Rehan sees, she's kind of scared to see her bodyguard, she's, and to hand it over to the Wijaya family under such circumstances, no I wouldn't be willing to go back there, because I'm afraid it would make him suffer even more" Zahra said.

Because when she bathed Rena, Zahra tried to talk to Rena even though there was still no response, but when she mentioned Niko's name, Rena screamed hysterically and cursed at the man, she said, although he does not know what happened between them, but he can slightly conclude that Niko is also one of the things that made his best friend become like this.

"Not both, we will still take Rena home with us, but for a while let her stay with Bi Parijah and take care of her until she returns as before" Rehan said, provide the best solution in his opinion.

"Bi Parijah's? who is Bi Parijah Kang?" ask Zahra curiously.

"He was the former ART of the Wijaya family and his nanny Rena since childhood, but because of an incident he was fired by his father Rena" Rehan explained, he also told a complete story about Bi Parijah and how touched they were when Rehan drove Rena to meet him.(the story is in Chapter 7).

"Well, if that's the best Kang Rehan thinks, but I'd love for you to marry Rena someday, if I knew, then, I'm willing to share my love with my best friend and it seems like Rina also understands that" said Zahra and she was ready to go back to sleep, while Rehan continued his dhikr in order to be given the ease and strength in living life in this Madyapada.

The next day, Keiko invites Rehan and the others to shop at the biggest mall in the city to buy fruit, hands, This time Keiko was only escorted by four people and the distance of her guard was also quite far unlike the previous days, because she was worried about making Rena scared when she saw her bodyguard like yesterday.

But although only escorted by four people, three of them are the top ten Bodyguards in the Benjiro family and one of them is Yoshiro-san, as usual they use a tuxedo suit with earpieces attached to the ears.

When Rena and Kinan were resting while eating fast food restaurant in the mall, while Rehan and Zahra were still accompanying Rina playing games near the restaurant and Keiko was going to the restroom.

Several groups of tattooed men approached Rena and Kinan's table, which made Rena so frightened.

"Touji, koreha joseide wa nakatta nodesu ka? (Isn't this a woman at the time?)" exclaimed the young man who was full of tattoos and turned out to be the son of the Yakuza Boss who had once invaded his apartment.

The man immediately grabbed Rena's hair, Kinan who was beside Rena immediately tried to soften the brash hands by way of watering the coffee to the face of the person who grabbed Rena's hair, as a result, the tattooed man released his grip and Kinan immediately took Rena away.

"who are you? why did you suddenly hurt my sister?" yang Kinan uses English, because he is not fluent in using Japanese.

"Arrgh... damn girl, you're looking to die with me," she cried with anger and with annoyance she tried to hit Kinan, who was trying to kill her, but Kinan swiftly repelled the blow and immediately returned a crushing reply to the tattooed man's heart, which he immediately fell down and again groaned in pain.

Indeed Kinan since entering High School by his brother he was told to study silat to Aki Darja to protect himself when his brother was far from him and now he was good enough for the size of a woman.
