ENDRO, THE BODYGUARD

THE LOVE STORY BEGINS

Endro stared at his old portrait with Mentari on his bedside nightstand. The girl who had visited his heart, but only occupied part of his side.

But the portrait of the girl was still able to make her smile. Perhaps a Beautiful Memory reopened in his mind back then.

Jemari Endro felt a pale face painted in the photo.

"You're ridiculous, Mentari... So silly... I can't even resist your coming into my heart. You make me feel comfortable around you. You have always supported whatever I have worked for, cheered my life and even you have kept my rights until your last day." Suddenly a clear liquid flowed from the corner of Endro's eye.

Although he smiled, but the wound was still felt by him.

"When time comes back. I want you to help me get Desri out of my heart, Mentari.

I don't want to feel pain like this. Too long, even to death coming at me maybe. I was wrong to have let him in without telling you beforehand the slightest item.

If only I had the courage to tell you at that time, I'm sure you wouldn't be angry. But you must have helped me to drive him away slowly, right?.

It's just I'm late, Mentari. I wasn't even able to take it out until this second. I got to know her more and more, and it made me feel even more because of her very different nature.

She was the son of a mother and her Father, a Wife of her husband, a cousin of the man who had betrayed her, a daughter-in-law, a brother-in-law, a son-in-law, a friend and now a mother of Nummi who is currently here. Seventeen-year-old girl who is so eager to hear the story of you from me.

Desri was special to everyone who knew her. Youknew... Even I thought I'd never cry if it wasn't for her." Endro grabbed the photo and took it to the balcony of his room.

There, Endro hugged his photo of his heart and repeated their story in his mind. Slowly, he closed his eyes and the memory returned to play in his memory.

*****

After the prayer at Endro's house, Mentari went back into his room. He laid his tired body on the usual bed he had been in since he had lived in that house.

Just as Mentari closed his eyes about to sleep, suddenly his ears heard the door of the room opened and closed again by someone who entered from outside.

Mentari sat down because he was surprised.

"E... Endro..." Jerit Mentari's. He was flabbergasted to see Endro's arrival without warning.

"Hey... You why? How nervous is that?" Endro pretended Acuh saw the shock on Mentari's face.

"Why are you here?" Endro's question can only be answered by him.

"Lho... How are you even doing that? You forgot huh? I did ijab qobul with Mr. Pengulu in KUA to marry you." Said Endro while continuing to approach the direction of Mentari who looks wrong behavior by him.

"Y-yes... I-i remember... Th-but..." Even though he understood, it was just that he was unable to stop his embarrassment back then.

"I-I'm not used to sharing rooms with men..." Sahut Mentari shy.

"When will I wait for you to get used to it? We are legally husband and wife. If it were tomorrow, the answer would be the same. You're not used to it yet. So, let's start now." Endro continued to act like teasing his wife who looked coal because of it.

Endro drew closer, he twisted Mentari's body slowly and gently. Even a nervous mentor could only resign himself and close his eyes when treated like that by a man who had just married him.

"Tonight, I let you fall asleep next to me. But not for the next nights, yeah." Endro's scales on Mentari's ears.

Mentari immediately opened his eyes again. He breathed a sigh of relief at Endro's words, only that his nervousness had not completely disappeared.

"Yes already... Now you sleep. If you don't sleep..."

"If I don't sleep?" Cut the Mentari boldly.

"I'll eat you up, tonight." Endro Threat.

"I slept..." Mentari hurried back to lay his body on the bed.

Endro smiled amusedly watching the behavior of Mentari who felt so innocent.

When we were in High School, you weren't this big. But now you're much different, yeah...~ Gumam Endro while taking the position of his bed beside Mentari.

Endro looked at the face of the girl he always protected. And then it was in a room with him. Become their legal partner according to religion and law. An innocent face that made him give up on getting his love in the city where he went to college.

I'm sure, Mentari. You can make me love you after this. I'm gonna be patient about it, and I'm gonna keep starting until I forget that I was in love out there before marrying you.

"Good night, my wife." Said Endro while peeling the forehead of Mentari who had slept soundly beside him.

Perhaps by looking at his wife's face, he was able to feel love with her. That is where the love story begins.
