*10 years ago*
At that time, Leo was being chased by a group of gangsters almost got hit by a Dirga-Dayah Devan car. Leo who was already in the fog just entered the car Dirga.
"Please sir, I beg you. If I can't die." Leo begged Dirga with a battered face. His eyes occasionally stared fearfully outwards.
"Just walk, sir." Without answering Leo's words, Dirga told his driver to return the car.
"Thank you." Reveal Leo with a sigh of relief that was returned with a smile by Dirga.
"We're going to the clinic up front first, sir."
He got out of the car after the driver parked his car.
"Let's treat your wounds first."
Leo was silent for a split second, but then out of the car following the steps of Dirga who had entered first.
"Sir, I'm going." Leo goes after Dirga.
"Your wounds look bad, we treat them first. We just finished talking."
Leo did not answer again, he was silent when a nurse cleaned and treated his wounds.
"Now we're looking for a restaurant near here, sir."
"Good sir."
Leo just kept quiet and followed where Dirga took him. Because the talk was free, Dirga did not seem to want to let go.
"Please order whatever you want." Dirga handed me the menu book.
"No, just father." replied Leo coldly.
"I know you're hungry, and I can just give you to your friends if you don't want to follow me."
"Ck, yaudah I pesen chicken rice only two, the same as drinking iced orange two." Leo ordered cuefully, while Dirga smiled at Leo's childish attitude. It also reminds her of Devan, who always acts indifferent to her but always cares for her.
When the food comes Leo goes straight to devour it. Two servings of chicken rice with two glasses of orange iced ludes in less than half an hour. Leo doesn't eat for a week.
"Will you order again?" Leo soon realized that he was with a stranger. His face was a little red from embarrassment.
"No, I'm full."
"You know, we're talking now."
Leo raised his eyebrows.
"We're acquaintances first, I'm Dirga." Dirga extended her hand.
"Lo." He's avenging Dirga.
"So, may I know why they're chasing you?"
Leo hesitated a little when he opened his mouth.
"They're the most powerful gangsters in the area."
He kept quiet, waiting for Leo to continue his story.
"And I'm their former member."
"So you're out of that gang?"
"Yes, but it looks like they won't let me go. Because no one ever made it out of their gang alive."
"Why did you get into that gang anyway?"
"That's because I was almost killed by robbers and those who helped me. Be their member because they promise protection."
"Why are they chasing you now?"
"I don't want to be a killer."
"Killer?"
"I refuse the duty of the chairman, to kill the enemy gang members."
"Why?"
"My color still has a bit of common sense, or maybe my guts aren't that big." Leo chuckled as he said it.
"Old man?" ask Dirga carefully.
"none. I've been living in an orphanage since birth."
Silence does not ask anymore. He sniffed his coffee, with glaring eyes.
"Why are you working with me?"
"Work?" Leo raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, I have a boy who looks like you're the same age as you, ohya, how old are you?"
"22."
"My son is 20 years old, ever since his mother died he's become difficult to get along with. I want you to be his friend, because it looks like your nature fits."
"Thank you in advance, but I don't want to be a nanny."
Dirga.
"Where are you going after this?"
Leo hush.
"Are you sure the gang won't find you? Maybe in a few days you can hide from them. But, sooner or later they will surely bring death before you."
"I can go out of the island."
"Do you have money?"
"I can rob before I go."
"So where's the common sense you said before?"
"I can give you a guarantee of safety if you want to come with me."
"You sure you want to take in a former gang member like me? What if I rob your house and run away?"
"I know you wouldn't do that."
"Why?"
"Color I'm sure you're a good person."
"Don't be too confident, sir. I'm not as good as you think."
" In my 30 years as a business man, I have often taken risks that are even more dangerous than this. And if I did misjudge, you think I can't catch you? I can run you anywhere in less than 24 hours."

Leo gaped at the towering fence before him. It turns out Dirga did not play games when he said it would not be difficult to find him, because indeed he was that rich. Although it was from the beginning robbing was only the reason for Leo to reject Dirga.
"We went straight to my study" said Dirga.
"Bi, please get Devan into my study."
"Good, sir."
Leo and Dirga went into the study downstairs, while the waiter went upstairs to call Devan in his room.
Ceklek, the door was opened by Devan. Leo immediately turned his head in that direction and the gazes of the two met, but was immediately diverted by Devan.
"What's up, pah?" Devan asked without paying attention to Leo.
"Someone wants me to introduce you."
"This is Leo, who will accompany you everywhere."
"Why would you give me a babysitter?"
"No. Papa's just worried about letting you go alone after last week's accident."
Devan looked at Leo from top to bottom, then smiled mockingly.
"OKAY. So he just won't do me, will he?"
"She will also be attending college at your place, with the same faculty and classes, just like you."
"Ck, why does the driver have to go to school?"
Leo glared at Devan's words, he did not expect the child of a polite man like Dirga turned his mouth so dirty.
"He's not Devan's driver, he'll be your assistant later when you replace papa."
"OK, whatever."
"Well, Leo, I hope we can be good friends." Devan extends his hand to Leo, but just as Leo is about to shake Devan leaves.
"Sorry, Leo. That was Devan's attitude after his mother died. He fortified himself with his brash attitude."
"It's okay, I can deal with it."
"good. Later, the waiter will show you your room."
"Yes, sir."
***
The first day Leo became Devan's bodyguard, he was almost abandoned by Devan. Because when he was turning on the engine of the car Dirga designated for use, Devan brought another car key, for him to use. It was fortunate that Leo was agile and managed to hold back Devan who was speeding up for a second.
"Let me drive, sir."
"Ck," Devan got out from behind the wheel then moved into the passenger seat. The car is a sports car with only two seats available.
During the trip there was no conversation between the two.
When getting out of the car, the charm of both can not be missed. Devan slowly lowered his sunglasses and hooked them on his shirt. The style is cool, but with a cold face make the women almost scream so fascinated.
While Leo, his face is flat but still looks more friendly than Devan who has earned the nickname Ice Prince since the first year.
They walk hand-in-hand to class which is about to start in 10 minutes. Leo no longer needs to take care of anything on campus, because everything has been arranged by Dirga. He just went to class.
Whispers accompanied their steps, especially Leo who just appeared on campus this time.
"He who?"
"What is Sodara Devan?"
"Hopefully it's not as cold as that ice prince so I can get acquainted."
"But still with Devan, ah."
Such were some of the rants from the students that Leo and Devan had passed.
"Lo was popular on the first day" Devan said as they were in a fairly quiet hall.
"Not as popular as you are, sir."
"Don't call me, old man."
"But you are my master."
"Just call me Devan!"
"Good,"
"You shouldn't be so polite, not an ex-gangster. So you're used to talking rude?"
"I just put myself in."
"OK it up."
Devan precedes Leo to get into his class.
