My husband is a Bodyguard

77. Closing Hearts

Arisa new until the house coincides with the azan magrib who reverberated. Arisa immediately entered the house and said her regards.

" Assalamualaikum" said Arisa after closing the main door again.

" Walaikumsalam" replied Mama Mutia who walked over to Arisa.

Arisa kissed her mother-in-law's hand.

" I'm sorry Ma, Arisa's home late. It was a little jammed in the street" Arisa said after kissing Mama Mutia's hand.

Arisa did not lie or just give an excuse but indeed when traveling from the scene earlier, Arisa was stuck in traffic because it coincided with the hours of returning home from work.

" Yes dear, the important thing is that you have returned home safely " replied Mama Mutia.

Arisa nodded her head.

" Arisa took a shower first, Ma" Arisa told Mama Mutia.

" Yes dear" replied Mama Mutia.

After that, Arisa went straight into her room. Arisa put her bag on the dresser and took off her shoes and put it in place. Arisa immediately went to the bathroom to clean herself up quickly.

After the sky turned dark and the sun was replaced by the moon, Arisa came out of her room after performing the prayers of magrib and isya. He wanted to help Mama Mutia prepare dinner and also dinner together. But when Arisa arrived at the dinner table, everything was ready. Arisa also felt bad because she could not help anything.

" I'm sorry, Ma. Arisa can't help Mama anything now, so Mama has to bother herself taking care of the house" Arisa told Mama Mutia.

Mama Mutia smiled. " No papa, honey. Mama knows you are busy in the office and Mama does not feel the hassle of having to prepare all this and take care of the house. Mama is happy to be able to do this for her husband and daughter Mama " replied Mama Mutia gently rubbed Arisa's arm.

Once again Arisa feels lucky to have a mother-in-law like Mama Mutia. She got all the affection she couldn't feel from her birth mother and all because of Mama Mutia.

Soon enough, Papa Hari came and joined the dining table. They had dinner together quietly. Only the sound of plates and spoons and forks clashing against each other.

After finishing dinner together, Arisa helps Mama Mutia to clean the dinner table and wash the dishes. Mama Mutia had already banned him but Arisa still insisted.

" You don't have to help Mama, honey. Mama knows you must be very tired after a day of work in the office " said Mama Mutia while wiping the dining table.

" Arisa's not tired, Ma. More tired Mama who has to go to the boutique continues to also take care of the house "answered Arisa who was washing dishes.

They continued their respective work and after the completion of the new Mama Mutia followed Papa Hari who was in the family room to watch the football broadcast. While Arisa chose to go to her room because her body is very tired after working all day.

Arisa stretched her body over the bed and straightened her stiff muscles.

" I think I have to massage" said Arisa while massaging her shoulders with her hands.

Arisa does often call her regular masseuse when she feels her body aches like this. But it was already night so Arisa would probably call him tomorrow alone when she could get home quickly.

The next day, Arisa arrived at the office and immediately got out of her car. At the same time, a co-worker Arisa also just got out of her car.

" Good morning, Arisa "greet Arisa's co-worker named Jodi.

" Morning, Jodi "replays Arisa smiling.

Arisa has known Jodi since last year because they are in the same division and also accepted work at the company at the same time.

" Lunch time is not? What if we both had lunch outside? " ask Jodi to Arisa.

" I'm sorry, Jodi. But I want to have lunch with Rini later "resist Arisa who feels uncomfortable if she has to go alone with Jodi.

Arisa can feel if Jodi likes her and Rini also says like that. That's what makes Arisa uncomfortable going with Jodi, after all she is afraid of slander later.

" I was first "Arisa said goodbye to Jodi and Jodi nodded her head.

After getting an answer from Jodi, Arisa immediately leaves Jodi and enters the company building. Arisa entered her office and there were enough other employees who came, including Rini.

Arisa put her bag on the table and sat down on her seat. Arisa can relax for a while because the office hours have not started yet.

" Ris, tu Jodi why so lethargic? " whispered Rini whose desk is next to Arisa.

Arisa immediately turned to look at Jodi who had just entered the workroom with a lethargic face. Most likely it was because of his rejection earlier, he also could not agree with every invitation Jodi because it was the same as he gave false hope because he did not like Jodi.

Arisa let out her breath. " I think because I refused his lunch invitation" replied Arisa.

Rini nodded her head understandingly. He finds out about Jodi who likes Arisa since they both work at the same place.

" Ris, shouldn't you open your heart to Jodi? Do not keep your heart closed, you must also open the way for your happiness. Kasian is also Jodi, I see he really likes you" Rini told Arisa.

Rini just wants Arisa to open her heart which she keeps closing all this time. After all, if Arisa is with Jodi, Arisa will be happy because she believes that Jodi loves Arisa very much.

" How many times have I told you, Rin. I don't like Jodi and just think she's just a friend and a co-worker. After all, my heart is closed to others "answered Arisa who remains the same from the beginning if asked like that.

Arisa will never open her heart to any man other than Angga. All this time he continued to close his heart even though not a few men wanted to approach him. Even Papa Hari and Mama Mutia also allow if Arisa wants to be with another man, but Arisa refuses. Arisa is still convinced that her husband is still alive and that she must maintain her loyalty as the wife of Angga.
