ENDRO, THE BODYGUARD

CHANDRA

Morning by noon then. Desri and Arkan enjoy a cup of tea and a plate of snacks in the back yard of the Endro house. They looked so sweet even though they were no younger. Occasionally Desri threw his head over Arkhan's shoulders spoiled to add warmth to the atmosphere between the two of them.

"Yeah... Vrava..." There was a cry from their Nummi. The girl came from inside the house to greet and kiss their cheeks one by one.

"Hey... Mother's daughter where are you going? You look so pretty today?" Desri asked realized her daughter's appearance looked different back then.

"Not anywhere, Bun..." Sahut Nummi with red face like boiled shrimp.

"really? But how does the makeup look like this, honey?" Arkhan was no less surprised to see his daughter blushing like that.

"iii... Same father Mother kepo ah..." Sumbuk Nummi while switching to sit on the other bench.

Arkhan and Desri looked at each other at their daughter's slightly different and coquettish behavior that day.

Endro once sharpened his eyes to everyone who got off a city bus. Yes, that day is Friday. The day his nephew would come to visit there.

Not long after, a young man gallantly opened his sunglasses. The appearance of circular headphones around his neck added to his good looks as a young man, getting off the bus that Endro noticed from himself until earlier.

The young man came up to him and greeted him respectfully. "Assalamu'alaikum, um..." He greeted Endro's hands politely.

"Va'alaikumussalam, Chandra..." Welcome Endro looks so happy.

"Thank you for taking the time to get me here. Sorry to bother you, Om..." Her words feel bad.

"Oh my goodness, Chandra... How could Om be bothered by you, son. Om happy with your arrival here." Endro said to remove the discomfort of his nephew. "You're even the first time you've come here alone. Reasonable... Oh right, how are your parents and grandfather, son?" Tanya Endro switched the pleasantries between them.

"Alhamdulillah, Om... Mom and Dad are healthy. Grandpa too, Om. It's just that he's been getting older since the last time Om stopped by... They send greetings to Om" replied Chandra interspersed with small cengenges from him.

"Niece, Om?" There was confusion on the handsome face of Endro's nephew. Things he himself did not know since he knew his omnya.

"Hw'um..." Endro nodded. "She's the daughter of a former employer, Om. The family that made Om like this. The mother who thinks Om is like a brother to her. Now, Father and Mother are also at home." Endro explained.

"Owh... The owner of the Ghani Group where Om and Grandpa met huh, Om?" Chandra began to understand.

"That's exactly..." Sahut Endro's.

"Gee... So can't wait to see them..." Chandra was so enthusiastic.

"Yes already.... Let's go..." Take Endro again and get a little nod from his nephew.

They walked side by side to where Endro's car was parked in the terminal's public parking lot.

Chandra, Endro's niece who looks handsome and charming, so many eyes belonging to the girls there pay attention to him. Her appearance was so neat and elegant. A not-so-big backpack perched on his back and added to his prowess.

If it goes like that, they look so similar. Chandra's her niece who looks like she was young a long time ago.
