Promises From the Past

It's my job

Rea tidied up to go to college...

Stepping out of the room in a casual dress with long jeans, spring has come, the warm atmosphere makes Rea no longer use a jacket or scarf.

Even after the teachings of her best friend Anna, Rea more often pay attention to her fashion, although it looks simple but it is quite effective to attract the attention of men.

"Dad I'm leaving...." Saut Rea towards Dirgan who was sitting on the porch of the house while drinking warm tea.

"Let's wait a minute...." Call Dirgan.

"What's the father." Rea answered and turned around.

"Today I'm going back to Indonesia, you're fine here with Ryan's escort. I'm pretty sure he can count on."

"Hmmm all right."

"Dad asked the rector of the campus, too, that Ryan could stay in the male dormitory as your guardian, so just drop him off to meet with mister Gwennard." Dirgan.

"Yes dad."

Ryan sat down leisurely waiting next to the black car prepared to drive Rea away. Seeing Rea's new presence coming out of the house, his attitude changed, standing upright and firm.

"Please Miss Rea." Ryan opened the door.

Before Rea entered, she stopped right beside the door with a complicated gaze toward Ryan.

"Is there something wrong, miss." Ryan was confused.

"When you're on campus, don't talk to me by yourself, keep a ten-meter distance and don't breathe if you're near me." Rea as condition.

"For the latter it seems difficult." Reply Ryan limp.

"Honest." No more bargaining.

Ryan is sad...."That's how much she hates me."

"Not that I hate you, but your breath stinks, don't you brush your teeth."

Ryan laughed bitterly ... "I forgot to bring a toothbrush."

Take a mask out of his bag and give it to Ryan... "At least use this, so you can feel your own breath."

"Well miss." Ryan could only obey Rea's orders.

If Ryan was initially ordered to shuttle Rea from Harvard University to the house in Millis, now the plan changes, and, where Ryan will live in the building outside the male dormitory which is a bed for workers on campus.

Dirgan has many acquaintances, one of whom is the head rector of Harvard University. So it is not difficult to ask Mr. Gwennard for help in order to keep Rea.

On the way from Millis to Harvard University in downtown Boston. Rea paid little attention to the attitude of Ryan who looked out the car glass.

"What a fascinating sight this place is." Ask Rea who is sitting in the back.

"For me who just came to America for the first time, certainly very interesting miss, what else if it should be compared with the streets in Jakarta, I feel my eyes sore to see the garbage there scattered." Ryan smiled to himself.

"Yes, I must admit that your opinion has a point." Rea agreed.

But seeing Ryan's attitude is not convincing like bodyguards in general who seem assertive, authoritative, sangar and also not a comedian.

"So what did you do before work became my bodyguard." Rea asked back.

"Hmmm if this is about the basic ability to be a bodyguard, I am a graduate of the military academy and have joined a special forces unit, more or less like that.... But if it was a job before I came here, I'd been a quaci salles, speaker hauler, wall bobber, WC sucker and more." Answer Ryan as he is.

Rea's confused...."How could a former military member move the line to become a WC sucker."

"That could happen because I have no other experience but fighting criminals."

Ryan is now serious enough to answer Rea's question..."Different from the military in general. We are just outcasts who were taken care of by the government and put into a special military academy, as a form of gratitude for having a place to live. So when we're not needed anymore, they'll be easy to throw us out."

"Who would have thought you had such a complicated life story." Rea gave a response.

Not long after, the car came out of the toll gate and continued to drive to Cambridge road. The bustling atmosphere of the road was smooth, there were many pedestrians where most of them were university students.

The car now stops in front of a woman while standing next to the entrance gate of the campus, Annastasia is waiting for Rea to come, because she has promised to meet.

Rea who came down immediately hugged Anna, yes this is just a familiar greeting to two friends no more than that.

"Ohhhh my best friend, you finally came too, I've been waiting here for more than three hours." Said Anna.

Flat Rea saw Anna..."Don't overdo Anna, I know you can't do that."

"But about you being my best friend, I'm not lying."

"Yes... Yes . yes thank you."

Not long after, Anna saw a man following Rea to get out of the car...."Who is he Rea?, do you have a new man ?."

"He's a bodyguard my father ordered." Reply Rea lazily.

"Waaahh being the daughter of a rich family is different."

"Are you not ashamed to say it, but you are the daughter of the owner of the Ressot in San Francisco." Reply Rea was upset.

"Obviously I don't want to be taken care of by a bodyguard, like I'm being watched for anything." Anna also explained.

"As far as you know, my position is now the same as you think."

It was actually not strange for the conglomerate princess to have a personal bodyguard, even the Vilova family had once sent people as Anna's bodyguard, but she firmly rejected it.

"So, what's your name Mr Bodyguard?" Anna asked Ryan.

(So, what's your name, mr. bodyguard.)

Ryan was nervous, he was still not fluent to understand English words...."Name, name, oh .yes, my name is Ryan."

"Ryan, I think keeping Rea is troubleome."

(Ryan, I think keeping Rea is troublesome.)

No matter what Anna says, Ryan just nods his head with an innocent smile and replies... "Yes." Yeah."

Feeling annoyed Rea kicked Ryan's leg quite hard.

"Am I wrong, miss ?." Ryan asked because he didn't know what Anna said.

"Think of it yourself. " Reply Rea who walked away left Ryan and Anna.

Anna smiled happily... "Please take care of Rea, ok ."

Ryan arrogantly replied..."Yes, yes.it's my job."

Anna smiled to herself hearing Ryan's reply, she whispered into Rea's ear and said... "He's funny."

"I find him more troublesome than funny."

"You're the one who's too serious about Rea." Anna replied with a small laugh.

Ryan followed closely behind Rea and Anna, from this moment on, he had to guard Rea for anything that might put him in danger.
