ENDRO, THE BODYGUARD

LOUSY

After a night of confinement, Endro also showed no signs that he would come out of his room.

Nummi breathed heavily. His face looks sad and grim. He felt very guilty about Endro's condition at that time. He thought it was all him.

If only he hadn't asked Endro to tell his life story with Mentari, maybe the wound wouldn't have been scratched again, Nummi thought from last night.

Time passed, until that day was over. Nummi returned to Soffa in the front room of Endro's room. Just in case the middle-aged man gets out of his dispute.

Justright. Not long ago he was sitting there, the door to Endro's room rattled. It seemed like the middle-aged man was about to come out.

Nummi just stared without daring to say hello. He was not reluctant, but he was disinclined. He was afraid that Endro's heart had not felt good at the time.

"Darling? What are you again?" Endro asked casually like he had no problem at all.

"O umm's... That's... Nummi wants to see, Om." His mouth lied while pointing towards the unlit TV in front of him. He was nervous as if he was caught doing something wrong.

"Owh... Om going to the factory. You coming?" Tawar Endro's.

"Eh?" Nummi gaped at Endro's invitation which looked fine. "Oohs... Wouldn't it be a hassle, Om?" He asked again with a feeling of silence.

"Aren't you going to trouble Om, later?" Endro asked, pretending as if he was hesitant to bring Nummi along with him.

"Eh?" The girl looked more wrong. "No, Om..." His grin while scratching his non-itchy nape.

"If you don't, mending. Pity you. These two days, you're home too, right?" Invite Endro to sound pushy for that time.

"Yes, Om... Nummi get ready first..." Suppose agree. Actually he was happy, it's just that he felt strange about Endro's behavior at that time.

"Om wait, yeah... Five minutes..." Firmly Endro joked.

"Oommmm..." Sahut Nummi heard protests with his face that looks clear.

"Hehehe... Aye, yes..." Endro's grin was whiny.

After Nummi disappeared behind the wall, Endro again bent his face. The smile on his lips suddenly faded. "I'm sorry, my dear..." Swish Endro himself.

*****

The atmosphere was so cold as they were one car on the way to the factory. There was no sound other than the roar of the engine of the car they were riding in. They were equally awkward that time.

Endro understood Nummi's feelings. Feeling guilty for making him tell her back. In fact, Endro himself wants to be heard by himself.

"Of..." Call Nummi lirih. He ventured to melt the frozen atmosphere created between them.

"Yes? Why, Honey?" Endro asked as he brushed off the warm smile on his lips.

"Nummi's sorry, yeah... Must be because of..." Nummi's words hang.

"Darling..." Cut Endro fast. "If you're still talking about your guilt, you better forget it, son." Pinta Endro.

"Om is fine... It's getting better. Om has not forgotten any memories of Om with Mentari. In fact, Om remembered something important, which he had forgotten at that time. All thanks to you, good listener Om." Endro said back bitterly.

"That's it... It's sad again." Nummi said with a grim face.

"Om not going to be sad anymore..." Endro's pledge came back smiling.

"Promise?" Pinta Nummi looked at Endro's face expectantly.

"Promise, Honey..." Endro's words were convincing. "Oh Yes... Om's niece is coming here, Friday tomorrow?"

"Niece? You have a nephew?" Nummi seemed to be in disbelief to hear from Endro about the planned arrival of his nephew.

"Had, Honey... Om just found out." Endro's law allows. "You remember the story about his mother Om, don't you?"

"Still, Om..." Angguk Nummi.

"Well that... Om once said that Om's father said, Om's mother has an older brother. So, his grandson is Om's nephew." Endro explained. He actually acted as if he had forgotten his sadness back.

"Owh... Nephew Om, what chick?" Tanya Nummi looked pleased.

"Cowok, Honey. He went to XXX University. Semester two."

"Waaah great... What faculty, Om?" Tanya Nummi was so enthusiastic to hear the story of Endro.

"Economy and Business, dear..."

"Waaahhh really hebaaatt... I can't wait to know my nephew. Must've been exciting. Nummi could wonder about that University. Nummi wants to go to college there, too, Om..." Nummi's exclaim is really a pleasure. Endro just smiled looking at the girl's excited face. "Oh yes, Om. Father and Mother will also pick up Nummi loh... They come on saturday."

"Don't want Om to just drop off?" Tawar Endro's.

"It doesn't matter, Om. Some of you miss Nini... Mother wants to visit the tomb..." Sahut Nummi rejects Endro's offer.

"Oh so..."

"Yes, Um...?"

I miss them too. Tomorrow morning, I'll be there... Surely the sun will be happy there if I visit~ Inner Endro.
