Loving a Bodyguard

Ken Candra

Closer to Keisha's face, he observed the Galak Doctor who was focusing on the ice cream in his hand.

Ken could only gulp his saliva, he rewinded his face because the negativity was already haunting his mind.

Ken was really tempted by Keisha's lips coming into contact with the chocolate ice cream.

"No, you have to hold on, Ken," Ken said unconsciously. Keisha looked at Ken.

"You why? If you want to go to the toilet, go! Don't hold back like that, no good" Keisha said as she cleared her troubled lips.

"Nope-no. I don't want to go to the toilet." Ken stroked his nape. His eyes looked the other way, avoiding Keisha's suspicious gaze.

"Then? Why did you say hold on? What are you holding?" Keisha moved his face.

Ken's mind is getting wild. Spontaneously he pushed Keisha's face away from her.

"Don't get close, I'm afraid to let you down" said Ken, with his hand turned to clutch Keisha's fingers.

"You why, huh? Disappointing me how do you mean?"

"Here, don't talk about it again!" Now Ken's hands are busy tidying up Keisha's hair that is never tied.

"Come, I'm curious! Say, Ken!" Keisha looked Ken in the eyes.

"You wanna know? Are you sure?" Ken Goda.

"Say!"

"Emm, that.ah. No, it's just a shame" replied Ken who was very embarrassed to have to tell his mischievous thoughts.

"What?" Keisha brought her face closer, leaving Ken completely overwhelmed.

"Kei, retreat! Don't let me disappoint you, put your face down. I love you, back off now!" Ken kept pushing Keisha's face with his index finger.

"Why, anyway? What's wrong with my face?" Keisha held her face, she looked for a small mirror inside her bag.

"It's okay, why are you, anyway?" He put the mirror back in and looked at Ken's eyes.

"You why?"

"I'll go to the bathroom, wait here!" Ken walked quickly. He washed his face with water and rubbed it rough.

"You should be more careful when you're with him. You love her, don't you?" ken told himself.

He came back after he managed to expel his evil thoughts.

"You why exactly? Don't worry me like this." Keisha looked at Ken's slightly wet face and hair.

"none. I'm not okay." Ken smiled to indicate that he was okay.

"You're serious?" Keisha tidied up Ken's messy hair. "Don't lie to me." His eyes looked at Ken meaningfully.

"I love you, Kei. I won't do anything inappropriate for you, until you're my wife." Ken smiled again, his hand stroking Keisha's head gently.

"What are you going to do? Don't-don't..." Keisha looked at Ken sharply.

"No, it's not that. Throw that mind away! I'm not gonna do it to you, believe me!" Ken flicked Keisha's eel slowly.

"What am I thinking?" ask Keisha.

"Kei, stop! Don't talk anymore! Now we're just out. I want to take you for another walk" Ken replied, switching the conversation.

"Hmmm, I don't want to go for a walk anymore. Let's just go home or do we go back to Mom's? Hows it? I want to meet your sister Tata." Keisha put on her cute face.

Ken stroked the chest, "Huh, calm down, Ken. Don't start your dirty thoughts again!" Ken muttered.

Ken agreed to Keisha's request. He took Keisha out of the mall. Now the car has rolled both of them to the Can Candra family residence.

Mama and Nathalia welcomed Keisha's warm arrival. Nathalia took Keisha with her, taking her to the living room.

"How's Keisha?"

"Parabarku, okay. How's yours?" Keisha looked at the sweet girl in front of him. Nathalia's face is similar to Ken's. Even their eyes and lips are the same.

"I'm good" replied Nathalia. He smiled strangely and took a deep breath.

"How does it feel to be a doctor at a young age?"

"Is the patient not chatty?"

"What about the practice?"

"What about patients or other handsome doctors?"

"Did you ever meet a ghost in the hospital?"

"Keep, how does it feel to see blood?"

"Does Brother have a syringe?"

"How do I inject the correct patient?"

"How to deal with a patient who is chatty, or who is afraid of needles?"

Keisha swallowed his saliva, he looked at Nathalia. "Where should I answer that?"

"I'm just asking, Ma." Nathalia stared at Ken who had just entered and immediately sat down beside Keisha.

"Yes, you asked. But your questions always make people confused about where to answer," said Ken who has been memorized by the level of practice of his sister who always asked in one breath.

"Hehe."

Mama and Nathalia share a casual romance with Keisha. While Ken is out to help his Papa in his study.

"So how?" ask Mama.

"Keisha and Ken have talked about it. Ken will take care of the house first, he said." Keisha and Mama continued to chat about the matchmaking problem that had changed status.

"Mama's been talking about it with your mama, too" Mama Ken stroked the back of her ideal daughter-in-law's hand gently.

"When, Ma?" tanya Nathalia who has only been a dealer since.

"March" answered Mama briefly.

"Why not February?" Nathalia has started again.

"The word! Don't make your sister-in-law dizzy!" Mama looked at Nathalia, hinting the girl to leave.

"Yes-yes. Tata wants to watch drakor. Does Keisha like it? If so, we can watch together. How's it?"

"Draked? Sister likes. But watch it not now, yeah." Keisha looked at Mama. Asking for help to deal with Nathalia's behavior.

"All right, but sometime we watch, huh, sister?" the girl said before she stepped her foot out of the living room.

Keisha and Mama breathed a sigh of relief, both of them looked at each other and laughed.

Mama invites Keisha to walk around in the magnificent and luxurious house. The two of them walked upstairs, there were only a few rooms. Looks like Papa Ken's room and workspace, Keisha thought.

Mama walked up to a room in the corner, "This is Ken's room first" he said, opening the door.

The room was still well maintained even though Ken was no longer there. Keisha followed the footsteps of Mama who had entered the black and white painted room.

"Key." Mama sat on the soft mattress, she patted the empty space beside her. Hinted for Keisha to sit there.

Keisha sat down beside Mama, he observed the middle-aged woman's face. His face seemed to be staring at what happened a few years ago.

"Ken, he wasn't like this. She was jolly and friendly, a smile was always painted on her face," Mama glanced at Keisha. "Unfortunately, everything faded after Pranata's death. He's Ken's uncle, Aldyan Pranata Yoga's father."

Keisha kept quiet, waiting for Mama to continue her story.

"After that, Ken and Aldy changed. Both of them became cold and never smiled again. Aldy and Ken are getting worse when Sintiya is experiencing mental stress and must seek treatment to the S country." Mama looked at Keisha, "Sintiya, she's the woman who gave birth to Aldy and Kamila. She's their mother" said Mama, who understood the meaning of Keisha's gaze.

"At that moment, a woman came. He brings a false love to Ken. Ken took her to this house. The devastated Ken is unaware of the fake love that is always nearby. The two were in love for two months. It was Aldy who separated them from seeing the woman at a nightclub with the old man." Mama took a deep breath.

"Ken is becoming more and more, he went away from home and chose to live in an apartment until now. Mama and Mama agreed on this match, long before Ken and that stupid woman were in a relationship." He turned back to Keisha.

The doctor smiled, "I see why Ken is like this. But Mama took it easy, Ken never hurt me. Even to do something inappropriate, he can hold himself back" Keisha said.

Keisha looked around the room. Everything in the room was black and white. The black and white were far apart, like a white table in the left corner of the room and a large black cupboard in the right corner of the room.

"Did Ken ever take you to his apartment?" ask Mama to doubt.

"No. Ken is the one who always picks me up" Keisha replied quickly.

"What's the matter, Ma?" tanyakanya.

"No, Mama just wanted to ask. Whether the apartment is clean or like a trash can" Mama replied with lips that held back laughter.

"Hehehe, Kei wants to know that too." Keisha and Mama giggled incoherently. Both thought the same thing.

"Stay next to Ken. Don't leave him, no matter what." Mama looked into Keisha's black eyes. He could see his son's face there.

"Keisha will stay with him, no matter what." Keisha smiled as Mama hugged her warmly.

"Please give back the old Ken, Mama misses the old him" Mama asked Keisha.

"Where is Ken? Ken's still here. Which Ken should be returned?" ken was standing in the doorway of his room.

Keisha looked at Mama, "No, why are you here?"

"This is my room, I should have asked you and Mama, why are you here? I'm tired of looking for you downstairs." Ken approached and sat down next to Keisha.

He opened his bracelet, tying Keisha's hair with the bracelet. "This is more beautiful" she said after tying Keisha's hair neatly.

"Come, let's just go down!" keep Ken in touch with both hands pulling Keisha and Mama's hands.

Ken opens the car door, allowing Keisha to get out. "Rest, don't think about anything. I just love you, I won't share with anyone, trust me!" Ken smiled reassuringly at Keisha.

"Hmmm, can't you repeat those words? You've repeated it over a thousand times."

"You counted? I just didn't count it since then, if you're counting it, why don't you ask me for help, so you don't make a mistake counting like this." Ken smiled again and got into his car, "Don't stare! Come inside."

Keisha flinched, quickly stepping away, away from Ken's car. "Hmmm, I hope so. You won't share it, even with your own pets!"
