ENDRO, THE BODYGUARD
HE WAS QUITE A CONDITION, ALTHOUGH NOT WORTH ACCEPTING ALL THAT SUFFERING
Geck... Geck... Geck...
Time and again Endro tried to knock on a door with great difficulty. His hands began to feel sore holding Mentari who never realized.
"Novii... Ni... Nineveh..." Call him with breath.
Not long after, the door opened. The old woman who was already like Grandma to him stood in the doorway and looked anxiously at the girl who was inside his carrier.
"Start!! Nak Endro's... Why mentari?" He asked in panic and panic.
"So fainting, Ni." Legally.
"Come on... Bring the Mentari inside, son." Nini's orders immediately gave way to Endro.
Endro said he immediately went in and laid Mentari on a rattan mattress in a narrow room, the old woman's hut.
"Actually, Mentari why did you faint like this, son Endro?" Tanya Nini while applying her herbal oil to the Mentari body part.
"Endro doesn't know either, Ni. Right back home from school, Endro saw him walking along the street so tersok-seok. Then, as Endro approached him, he suddenly fainted. His body temperature is also high, Ni. For a few days he did not go to school. He said he was sick." Endro Endro answered the same old woman's question.Yes, Nini who had been nurturing him for four years, when she was a baby at that time.
Endro still looks panicked at Nini's question. The girl's body, still felt shivering her arms which were indeed starting to look stocky, even though she no longer carried it.
"Yes Allah... Wrestling... Please don't make it this weak... I know he's a strong boy. He was quite a condition, though not deserving of all that suffering." Nini's cry began to break seeing the weak Mentari unawares.
From there, Endro began to understand the meaning of Nini's lamentation. Only, he did not know what was really behind everything he understood.
Simply letting out her hysterical wail, Nini began to feel a little calm when she found Mentari's eyes opening little by little.
"This...?" He called her softly when he found the old woman beside him.
"Yes, Son... It's Nini." It's Nini." Nini's voice is getting quieter. He did not want to show his sadness in front of the girl.
"Why can Mentari be in Nini's place?" Confused ask. Slowly, he began to realize his life was back. The sun rushed up from his bed. "Yes, Ni... Mentari should be home soon. Mom and Dad will be able to..." His words hung as his eyes caught Endro's face. Just then, without him noticing before, Endro noticed himself from behind Nini.
"You-you? Why are you here?" Nervous ask. The sun seemed to feel caught red-handed at that time.
The mentari shields his forehead. "Nop... Does he know Nini?" Mentari asked in a bit of shock.
"Yes, Son. Endro is like a grandson to me, Nini. Just like you." Nini Sahut.
"Can he go for now, Ni?. Mentari didn't want to, he saw Mentari in this miserable state." Pintanya.
"He's a good boy, son. You don't have to worry." Nini defended Endro.
"No matter who he is, Mentari just doesn't want anyone but Nini." Mentari's words are getting clearer. Her tears suddenly escaped. It was so painful to have spoken such words in front of Endro himself, the man who actually attracted his sympathy.
Nini turned her head towards Endro and looked at the man with full supplication. Endro brushed off his slight smile. He nodded, saying goodbye to Nini.
As for Mentari, she just turned her head with a look of compassion. As he avoided his face, his heart grew even more painful looking at that handsome face.
Just as Endro stepped out of the hut grounds, his eyes suddenly caught the three people he knew. They were none other than Alex, his wife and his eldest daughter. They are Mentari's parents and her brother.
Their faces were fierce with anger about to head to the hut grounds. Endro immediately searched for a hiding place behind a large wooden tree.
He kept watching their steps. Every now and then, the mother and son are heard inciting and heating Alex.
What do they want?~ Inner Endro. He looks increasingly riled looking at the fierce face of Alex from hiding it.
