Gracella was unable to move while Xavier's massive body was on top of his. While Xavier was flabbergasted to be unconscious if his body was currently a burden for Gracella's slender body.
It was only natural that Xavier was fixated and did not immediately rise to his feet as soon as he looked at Gracella. Gracella is very beautiful in her eyes, not as beautiful as Tiffani, but still Gracella is beautiful and looks very feminine.
"Sorry, can you stand up? I feel very uncomfortable" Gracella told Xavier, who was still on top of her body.
Xavier flinched, and then he realized that their current position was indeed very uncomfortable.
"Ah, sorry," said Xavier, then slowly got up to his feet and then he reached out to Gracella. "Let me help. Are you okay?"
Gracella smiled, and accepted Xavier's helping hand so that he could rise to his feet.
"I'm fine. Thank you," said Gracella, lowering her face slightly.
Xavier was again flabbergasted, because instead of scolding her who had hit Gracella's body, Gracella instead acted ordinary and remained polite to her as if no unpleasant incident had just happened between them.
"You're the only real woman in this house. I can't imagine what if what I hit and what I made fall was one of those three girls. I must have been battered by them now" said Xavier, pointing to Tiffani, Mona and Sela sitting at the table and watching what was happening .
Gracella smiled again. "I know you weren't intentional."
Xavier flicked his fingers in front of Gracella. "Truely, I was unintentional. Hope you're really okay."
"Yes, I'm really okay" said Gracella, then immediately stepped towards the dining table, followed by Xavier who then pulled a chair for Gracella.
Garecella was surprised that Xavier followed her to the dining table, and the man even prepared the chair he was about to sit in.
"You don't need to be like this, I can do it myself, Mr ...."
"Xavier, my name is Xavier. You don't have to talk to me formally, and you don't have to call me master, because I'm just a bodyguard, and if you don't mind ...." Xavier hung up his words, and turned to look at Richard to speak to the man.
"What?" asked Richard, who returned Xavier's gaze.
"I want to be his bodyguard" Xavier said.
Richard smiled, then put the spoon and fork in his hand. "I can't decide that for Gracella, let alone that she already has a bodyguard. It's all up to him."
Gracella kept quiet, taking two loaves of bread and rubbing the whole wheat bread with peanut butter, then he took two more pieces to cover the top of the bread he had smeared with jam. Gracella did it slowly, as if she had a world of her own and paid no heed to those around her, including Richard and Tiffani.
After the two sandwiches were ready to be eaten, he looked up to look at Xavier standing right next to his chair.
"Sit down, accompany me to eat" Gracella said.
Xavier is shocked, and is thrilled that Gracella seems to want a relationship with him. Whether it was a friendship, or just a relationship between an employer and a servant, whatever it was Xavier felt very happy.
"It's with pleasure" said Xavier, then he sat down next to Gracella.
"You're not allergic to peanuts, are you?" Gracella gave one of her sandwiches to Xavier.
Xavier shook his head while receiving the bread from Gracella's hand. "No, I'm not allergic to anything."
"Good, then good-bye" said Gracella, then he turned to look at Rama sitting opposite him with Tiffani and Richard. "Rama" said Gracella.
"Yes, Grace. Do you need anything?" rama asked while standing up.
"Ah, no, no, just sit down, Rama. I just want to say that from now on Xavier is my bodyguard. I said in front of a lot of people that no one misunderstood me anymore and assumed that I wanted to take you away from Tiffani. However, it is undeniable that I do like you and I think I need some time to get rid of this feeling. So, Tiffani take good care of Rama before I think about really taking him away from you, because if I had meant what I wanted, I wouldn't have half. She will definitely be mine forever" Gracella said at length, then resumed eating.
Richard and Rama both sighed heavily as soon as Gracella finished speaking. For both of them, what Gracella just said was not the form of the start of the genjetan weapon, precisely by saying all that Tiffani will hate Gracella more, he said, and as a result the flames of hostility between the two would never be extinguished until at any time.

Tiffani has been glaring at Rama ever since Gracella publicly acknowledged her interest in Rama in the dining room this morning. When he first heard the words of Gracella, of course, Tiffani was very upset, wanting to feel like he approached Gracella and silenced her mouth with a pile of bread that was given chilli powder at that time. However, there was no way he would do that in front of his father, as he did not want his father to be disappointed in his attitude. After all his father wanted him and Gracella to get along, so he was determined to make up with Gracella no matter what.
Now that several hours had passed, Tiffani and Rama were on their way to the hospital, but the irritation in Tiffani's chest did not go away. He was even more jealous because he had a rival as beautiful as Gracella, and worse yet the rival was his own brother. What an irony.
"You must be really happy, right? You must be flowering because Gracella really likes you. He even blatantly said he would take you from me" Tiffani told Rama, who was driving at the moment.
Rama glanced at Tiffani sitting next to him. "You jealous?" ask Rama.
"Not answering my question, you're asking me a question instead. Is it so hard to answer the questions I'm asking, huh?"
Rama smiled at Tiffani's nagging, even though he was nagging, but in Rama's ear Tiffani's voice sounded like a chant of melody so beautiful to hear.
"In a romance there is no case of a snatch, Tiffani, because every object involved in it is human. And a man who chooses to go from his beloved only for the sake of another woman must do so consciously, instead of being snatched up like a term that is often heard, he said, because lovers are intelligent human beings instead of inanimate objects that are easy to move anywhere. And do you think I look like a human being who would leave my lover just for the sake of another woman?" rama asked, grabbing Tiffani's hand and peeping the back of the girl's hand repeatedly. "I love death to you, where can I go from you, even if you throw me away, I will definitely return. Then, if you come back to dump me again, I will definitely come back again, and again. And so on until you get bored and then decide to dump me into a volcanic crater."
Tiffani's blood rippled as soon as he heard what Rama had just said. Rama's words touched Tiffani's heart, making her want to cry because she was moved. He was happy because Rama loved him so sincerely and selflessly.
"I won't throw you into the crater of the volcano" Tiffani said with a smile.
Rama returned Tiffani's smile. "Thank you, I'm glad to hear ...."
A great impact that was so hard happened to the car that Rama was driving. Rama lost control of the impact, making the car spin before finally hitting another car that was right next to Rama's car, and then hit the road divider.
"Aragh!" rama Stirring. Rama's head was very painful due to the impact he experienced. The Earth is spinning rapidly, making it unable to focus to see how Tiffani is no longer sounding.
Rama fumbles on Tiffani's seat, and he is so relieved that he can feel Tiffani's hand still next to him, it means Tiffani's body is not thrown out of the car, because he remembered very well Tiffani refused to wear a safety belt before they left.
"Tiffani," muttered Rama, squeezing Tiffani's palm, hoping that Tiffani would respond and answer the whole thing. However, moments later Rama felt Tiffani's hand begin to slip from his grasp, and then Rama can no longer feel his hand holding Tiffani's hand.
"No. Tiffani, Tiffani!"
Rama panics, knowing that Tiffani is currently not next to him. He tried to move, but his efforts worsened his condition. His ears were buzzing, his head was throbbing, his gaze was getting blurred, and finally things became dark and silent.
***
A nightmare occurred today, and Tiffani never expected to experience all the terrible events she was now experiencing.
The collision, or rather the car that Tiffani was riding in was hit by a freight truck.
Tiffani can feel when his body is forced out of the car which starts to smoke on the engine. Before the foreign hands reached out to his body and separated from Rama, he could hear the murmur of Rama calling him, he could also feel the warm hand of Rama holding his hand, he was able to see although it is not too clear how the face of Rama who was bleeding due to broken car glass.
Tiffani wants to touch Rama, but then someone touches his waist, pulls his hand from Rama's grasp and then holds him towards a black car parked not far from the crash site.
Tiffani revolted, he did not want to leave Rama, but his condition which was also injured made his resistance not maximal. The last thing Tiffani heard before she fell unconscious was, "We just let her bodyguards burn along with her car, the most important thing for us is Raendra's daughter. Boss asked us to take him alive"

Richard sat in his study with Xavier and Damar. Damar occasionally pulled Xavier's ears hard, as he was annoyed at his stubborn nephew.
"I told you not to come here. How can you leave the warehouse just like that, even though the warehouse you guard is the center of all business activities. If there's any chaos up there, I won't hesitate to punish you, Vier!" namel Damar.
Xavier covered his ears with his hands as soon as Damar began to nag, because Damar had only said that, to make him bored half to death.
Seeing his nephew's behavior, Damar immediately landed a punch repeatedly on Xavier's back. " It's a shame that I've raised you and given you so much since you were a child, if it turns out that this big body of yours is only you using against me. You bad boy."
Xavier grimaced, but he did not once resist Damar's actions, because he respected Damar very much. Damar was like a father to him, where perhaps he dared to fight Damar even though his body was bigger and stronger than Damar.
After a while of beating Xavier, Damar was finally exhausted, his hands were also sore. He moved away from Xavier and sat back on the sofa opposite Richard's couch.
"You sweat, and you just beat him for a little while" Richard commented.
Damar rubbed the sweat that soaked his face with a tissue as he glared annoyedly at Xavier. "His body was so hard, I don't know what he's been eating all this time, I'm confused."
Richard laughing. "He's our hero, it's only natural that his body is hard."
Xavier then looked at Richard intently, you guys he looks serious.
"I wouldn't have come here if I hadn't heard from you about your illness, Sir, I've even heard that you don't have a long time left. Aren't you so cruel for not telling me all this. Do you really not intend to say goodbye to me? All this time I've thought of you as my own parents. What do you think will happen to a child who suddenly hears of the death of his parents?"
Richard smiled, his smile looked sincere and at the same time looked very sad. "I'm sorry, I don't think at all that I'm important to you, Vier."
Xavier snorted in annoyance. "That's a mistake you repeatedly make. You are always giving and giving, without realizing that all of it makes you an important figure for people who get attention from you. I'm sure as hell, it's not just me who'll feel lost when you're gone. There must be a lot of people who love you, sir."
Richard nodded. "Yes, I realize that now. I'm sorry for making you angry and disappointed, I'm so sorry."
"Don't say that, sir, I'm the one who apologized for coming suddenly and said old bangka are all kinds of things. I was too emotional back then for having to know such a terrible reality from others not from your own mouth."
Richard laughed again. "Don't say that again if you're in Tiffani's presence, Tiffani might put you in a barn and lock you there for a month without eating or drinking. Just so you know, my daughter is so cruel."
Geck, tok, tok.
The sound of a knock on the door stopped the conversation between Richard and Xavier.
Damar got up from his seat and immediately stepped towards the door.
"What's up, Mona?" damar asked, as soon as the door opened and he saw Mona standing in front of Richard's study with a deathly pale face.
"Did something happen?" ask Damar again.
Mona nodded. "Tiffani and Rama .. they were in an accident while on their way to the hospital" Mona said in a trembling voice.
"What?!" Damar surprised.
"Dan ... Tiffani ..he, Rama, I mean there was only Rama when the ambulance came. Tiffani doesn't exist."
Seriate.
