Owner of Heart #1
Chapter 33
“Well, if this must be Arga-kan?”
“Iya, Aunt.” Just like I was Arga also sun hands to his mother the Lieutenant.
“Yudha says that Kekey is the same handsome man that Arga Kekey's bodyguard, and Mamah must say thank you to Arga for taking care of the prospective maestro Mamah all this time.”
We all laughed at the story of the Lieutenant's mother, and I'm sure my face is now flushed red because it's said to be the future hehehe ghost.
“So Arga, thank you very much for taking care of this beautiful potential mantu Mamah.”
“Sama-sama, Auntie, but actually Kekey is Arga's bodyguard, he is more fierce than Arga. Aww!! Now, Auntie, look at her just now... aww!!! Forgiveness!”
I secretly pinched Arga's waist telling him to be quiet, but he even said that he was in the pinch, as a result I returned to pinch him and this time without stealth.
“Arga lied Aunt, do not believe, Kekey is not fierce kok.”
“Hahaha... You guys are so funny anyway.”
“You two are sitting here, there is something to talk about with your Mom Yudha.”
Arga and I looked at each other and sat down.
“So on campus is nothing? Nobody bothers Kekey, right?”
Me and Arga looked at each other before I finally shook my head, “Nothing, Auntie, all is well.” I tried to hide the incident with Vienna from my family, because I didn't want to worry them.
A few moments the Lieutenant's mother looked at me and then nodded.
“This must be hard for you, Key, Mamah knows that very well, but you have to believe Yudha, right now she is trying to solve everything. His father had offered to help him, but he said he would try first himself if it did not work out then he would ask for our help. He said Yudha was a soldier, so how could Yudha protect this country if Yudha could not protect the woman Yudha loved.”
I smiled at the last words of the Lieutenant's mother, there was a feeling of calm and peace because it felt protected which now made my heart warm. And now I know that even if he's not next to me, he'll always protect me in some way.
“So Mamah hope you give her a chance to prove her point, whisper Key, you last for a few days?”
“Insyaallah, Aunt.” I nodded confidently making the Lieutenant's mother smile.
“Dan Mamah also asked Arga for help, please take care of Kekey as you have been looking after him, although Mamah believes this will be much more difficult than before.”
“God willing, Auntie and I need not worry, not only Arga who take care of Kekey, but many friends Kekey will take care of him.”
The Lieutenant's mother nodded back with a gentle smile.
“Mas Your Lieutenant..”
“Hahaha..” I laughed at the moment when I heard the Lieutenant's mother mention my call to him, “Kok Auntie knew that I called Mas Yudha, Mas Lieutenant?”
“That's why, he's so proud that you called him Lieutenant, but he cheated.”
“Cheating why Aunt?”
“Masa Mamah cannot call you, Za is rich he calls you...he says Za is his special call, and he does not want to share you with others including Mamah… it's cheating his name, Mamah also wants to have a beautiful daughter rich you.”
“Mothers don't have daughters?” Mother asked the Lieutenant's mother with a smile.
“Yudha is an only child, so in a very quiet house if he does not go home. so if you do not mind Kekey must often play at home for my nemenin.”.
“If his Kekey wants me don't mind, Bu.”
“Kekey want to?”
“Mau, Aunt.”
“Arga also yes?”
“Ready, Aunt, as usual Arga became a motorcycle taxi driver Kekey.”
“Hahaha... one more! You guys don't call Aunty, but call rich Mom Yudha, ok?”
Me and Arga nodded in agreement, though, that day the Lieutenant's mother came because the Lieutenant called her and asked her mother to meet with my family to explain everything because she didn't want my family to misunderstand the matter.

I texted the Lieutenant tonight to tell him what happened today, but he seemed to be busy not replying to my message until I fell asleep. At about 1:30 I woke up when my phone rang, feeling that it was a message from the Lieutenant I immediately woke up and read it.
“Udah sleep yes.. Sorry just reply, I was working on something and just finished.... You okay? I'm sorry, because I you have to go through this, I should have cleared up this problem from the beginning, sorry I am not there beside you when you have to go through difficult times like now.”
Reading it made me contact him.
“Hallo, you haven't slept, Za?”
“Assalamualaikum, Mas Lieutenant.”
“Hehehe.. wa’alaikumsalam, darling.”
“Hahaha..
“Oh, can't ya?”
“Not yet, not yet valid.”
“Yaaah.
“Hahaha.”
“You okay?”
“Nothing, Mas Yudha just calm down, I will not be quiet so if there is someone who hurt me, especially if only Vienna, find a way to solve the core of this problem, the problem here let me face it anyway I'm not alone, Mas, there's Arga and others, so Mas Lieutenant don't worry, ok?”
“Alright, but if there's anything directly say yes.”
“Iya.. Oh yes, this afternoon Mamah Mas Yudha came home.”.
“So chat what is Mamah?”
“Mas Yudha likes stories about me with Mamah huh?”
“Hahaha... Mamah was curious about how to start, yes I told you, Mamah said what?”
“Masa Mamah says I'm his former candidate.”
“Hahaha... aamiinin aja, it is the same as the parent prayer, Za.”
“Hehehe... aamiin.”.
“It is dong, so we are legitimate yes.”
“Iiih, not yet.”
“Yes it's different again, it's Yudha mas who told me to do ngeaminin.”
“So don't want to be a potential mantu Mamah?”
“... want.”
“Ya already, I also want to be a prospective mother-in-law..so we are legitimate dong, you both want.”
“Hehehe... Yes, but how is there something strange?”
“Hahahaha... strange why?”
“Why are we suddenly so legitimate?”
“Hahahaha... You are calm, Za, I will settle this matter first as soon as possible, so that I can confidently meet your parents and ask for their blessing to be in a relationship with you.”
I smiled at his words and fortunately we were not currently on video call otherwise he would have seen my face flushed red.
“Za?”
“Iya.”
“Kok silent? Sleepy huh?”
“Engga.” I was still trying to hold back my smile that never wanted to end, until I finally cleared my throat and tried to divert the conversation, “Mas Yudha has no plans to face Leona?”
“I don't know if this will work, but at least I hope it can break up public opinion so that not everyone blames us and trusts it.”
“Hopefully succeed.”
“Aamiin.. aaah.. if only we had the acquaintance of a journalist.”.
“Journalist?
“Iya is only a journalist..a journalist who will stand by our side and proclaim the truth happened.”.
“Included about Bang Eddy?”
The Lieutenant was silent for a moment before finally answering my question.
“I won't divulge Bang Eddy's secret, however he is my colleague.I'm sorry but I can't, Za… I'm just going to prove that the guy in the photo that afternoon wasn't me and I never got in touch with Leona, even if later until the reporters suspected their affair, it was their problem.”
I smiled proudly, to be honest I felt angry and disappointed at Bang Eddy but I also did not want to destroy Bang Eddy's marriage just because I wanted to escape this problem.
“Sister Yoan,” I said when I remembered something.
“Yoan?”
“Yes, Brother Yoan said he knew one of the reporters in the Fort on the day of our arrival.”
“It was even better!”
“Tomorrow I will ask Yoan.” for help
“Let me speak directly to Yoan, if she is willing to help there is something I have to tell her.”
“What?”
“Later, you'll know later, Za.”
“Oh that was playing secret nih.”
“Hahaha... later if it is certain, I will tell you.”.
“Ya udah.”
“You're jealous?”
“Engga.”
“But I like to see you jealous.”
“Why?”
“Because it is proof that you love me.”
“Hehehe... but Mas Yudha never jealous, means Mas Yudha does not love me dong.”
“Who said?”
“Kataku.”
“I've told you I'm so jealous, Za, I'm jealous of Arga who can protect you at all times, I'm jealous of your friends who can see you laughing every day, I'm even jealous of the angkot driver who drives and picks you up every day, but I believe you won't betray me, because your heart is now mine and I will make sure I never lose it again.”
I smiled at him, I actually did not like a man who likes to globalize but somehow if the Lieutenant who said it even made me smile and will smile again when I remember his words again.
“Za, how silent? Is it sleeping?”
“Not yet hehehe.”
“Oh hehehe.. yes already sleep first, do not forget to pray.”.
“Yes."
“Good sleep, Za, good dreams tonight, don't think too much about this problem let me find a way out, all you need to do is keep smiling and happy.”
“Hehehe.. Good night, Mas Lieutenant.. Miss You.”
“Miss you too... I love you.”
“Hehehe..”
“Kok not replied?”
“Hehehe later.”
“Hahaha.. yes already, bye, Za, assalamualaikum.”.
“Wa’alaikumsalam.”
"Sweet dream, honey."
I smiled ending the call, and went back to bed to meet the Lieutenant in my dream.
