ENDRO, THE BODYGUARD

SWAP

Morning after the departure of Mentari yesterday afternoon.

By bringing some of his neighbors, Endro finally carried out his intention to propose Mentari to Alex's residence. He was worried that morning. Wishing her Mentari was fine all night at Alex's house, after the Genesis a few days earlier that they had passed.

By following the way there, patiently Endro and Kamil face often subtle satire from Alex and Lita.

Since then, Endro's eyes did not find the Mentari. Even though he had been wailing around looking for the figure of the girl. Various negative thoughts floated in his mind. Anxiety and fear became one dominating his soul.

But, suddenly the people there were amazed to welcome the arrival of a girl. With her beauty, the girl timidly moved closer towards them.

Endro was stunned. His eyes did not blink at all at that moment.

"Pretty." Mumbled.

The girl was none other than her. But her natural beautiful face just looked at Endro. That's not what he wants. He wanted Endro to give up thinking about protecting himself.

Their eyes looked at each other. Communicating in the heart conveys thoughts in each mind.

Endro continued to shake his head, although Mentari's gaze signaled to retreat. No one understands why they are. Only Juwita was able to decipher them, and stared cynically without the knowledge of the two of them.

Their parents are also busy negotiating about the relationship that Endro and Mentari will live.

Endro paused for a moment to notice his retreat. He tried to look for breath in the middle of the atmosphere at that time. But his eyes were fixed on his father's stiffened face.

Endro's confused. Trying to guess, what exactly had happened when he was just focusing on his heart.

"All right..." A heavy voice rang out from the middle-aged man's mouth. Endro is confused. His mind again asked, what decision his father had just approved.

"Hm... The right decision, Kamil. So when is our children's wedding?" Alex asked with a sweet attitude.

"It's gonna be better soon, Lex. We've thought carefully about the decisions we've made from home." Kamil said sure.

"alright... So when are you going to give me the land letter?"

"Land Letters?" Endro. He was surprised to hear Alex's question.

"On the wedding day, later. Didn't you say it was a dowry for Mentari?"

"Maharr?" Endro was increasingly distrustful of his hearing at the time. He immediately looked at Mentari full of question marks.

Call clear liquid, finally escaped from the eye Mentari. He seemed to understand the meaning of the man's gaze. He knew, there was doubt on Endro's face.

Endro stunned. He looked at the face of his father who was starting to breathe a sigh of relief. He knew, His father was not a selfish man who defended his land without thinking about the fate of Mentari later on.

*****

"Dad..." Endro greeted bitterly his father who was sitting daydreaming in the back yard of their house.

Maybe there is a sense of weight. So there is a dilemma. Choose between two, and both are just as difficult to let go of either one.

But for him, Mentari who lives as a human being, is more meaningful than plantation land that lives as a mandate for him.

Indeed, the plantation land that Alex asked for, at that time was overgrown with fertile plants. That's why Alex wanted the land so badly.

"Do you regret it?" Endro asked a little hesitantly. He sat down next to his father and tried to take a little weight on his father's shoulders.

"No, Son. I just thought, why would Alex do that?. He's just like exchanging Mentari for land. In fact, Mentari was mandated to them." Kamil seemed to be sad to think about the girl.

He was laughing, not that he regretted his decision.

"Land in a patch will not mean anything, when compared to thinking about how the fate of Mentari will be. If only I hadn't sacrificed that land." Connect Kamil again.

"So it's okay, Dad?"

"It's okay, End. As long as you promise, take good care of Mentari. She's an orphan girl, son. If one day you are kind to treat him, then good life will welcome you. You have a great trust after you marry her.

She is a woman to understand more. Because of his injuries after losing his parents, it will not be lost after all. In addition, injuries due to the suffering he experienced while living with Alex and his family.

So, I ask you to treat Mentari well and wisely. He was still vulnerable to the sadness he had felt all along." Kamil explained what was coming from his heart. A sincerity he felt for the girl.

Endro. He understood without saying yes. And secretly, he promised to always remember his father's message.

"You're an adult, son. I hope this is the beginning for you to live in seriousness. There is no doubt or doubt. As long as it is right and good, do it. No matter how hard, and how painful. What matters to your efforts." Kamil again.

Endro nodded slowly. In my heart, I promise you that. Removing his doubts, and starting his life again with a new atmosphere.

Focus on Mentari and become the priest of the girl. Their time is not too much ahead of their wedding.

"Yes, Dad. Endro promise. But anyway, Endro is still Dad's son. And Endro will always be by Dad's side. So, if Endro steps wrong, scold Endro." Finally he opened his voice. Steadily, he vowed to the middle-aged man he called father.

Kamil disagrees. He smiled slightly and patted his son's shoulder gently. "Good, Son. I'm glad to hear that. I promised you that wish too."
