THE GUARDIAN OF THE HEART

Chapter 43, I'm Always There (End)

Shaka just smiled at Sherly's words. Not long after, the waitress came to bring their order. After placing all the orders, the waitress left the two of them.

"Yuk drank Sher." Shaka said as he handed over his hot chocolate to Sherly. While he took a cappucino and then gulped it down.

"I think I remember something when I saw this cake." Sherly teases Shaka while pointing at the tiramizzu pancake in front of her.

Shaka laughed at Sherly's temptation. He remembered when he bought two boxes of pancakes at this warkop at that time. He bought a chocolate flavor and a tiramizzu flavor. Shaka gives Besty chocolate-flavored pancakes, while tiramizzu-flavored pancakes are given to Sherly. However, when he brought it to Sherly's house, Shaka wore a sweater and pink training owned by Besty because her clothes were wet and left at Besty's house at that time. Sherly can only smile amusedly and tries to hold her laugh as she sees Shaka wearing all-pink clothes. He did not think that Shaka who Sherly thought was the type of guy who is macho, even came to his house wearing full color pink clothes.

"Is it good to wear pink color?" Said Shaka origin.

Sherly laughed at Shaka's words. He tried to hold his mouth so as not to laugh too much while nodding his head.

"Oh yeah, what did you want?" Said Shaka trying to shift the topic of his conversation.

"You deliberately forgot what was trying to divert the direction of the conversation?" Ask Sherly.

"Both, Sher." Shaka said with a smile and Sherly also smiled widely with Shaka's words.

"Why did you take me on a motorcycle?"

"Looks like I just got on a bike this time since I've known you." Ask Sherly.

Shaka smiled broadly at Sherly's curiosity.

"That's okay, Sher. I'm just glad you've always supported me all this time." Answer Shaka.

"You've always been there for me, even if I never asked." Further.

Sherly smiled embarrassedly at Shaka's words.

"Why do you keep buying me a helmet?" Ask Sherly again.

"That's the bonus." Shaka Sahut.

"Keep that helmet, you can wear it if you need it." Its effects.

"I won't wear it again except you." Sherly.

"Why is that?" Ask Shaka in wonder.

"You don't need it, you know the answer." Answer Sherly.

Shaka just smiled at Sherly's words. She remembers that Sherly likes Shaka and that only Shaka is in Sherly's heart, nothing else. Shaka then looked towards Sherly who was drinking hot chocolate. She is so grateful that Sherly is always by her side, but she is very sad because she has not been able to repay Sherly's love. He was silent while looking at Sherly.

Sherly, who knows, is seen by Shaka, then looks back at Shaka. He was embarrassed by Shaka's gaze, so to cover it, he turned to the right and to the left, as if looking for someone.

Shaka smiled at Sherly's funny actions.

"You're so funny, Sher. " She said while drinking her cappuccino.

Sherly just smiled in response, said Shaka.

"Funny what's beautiful?" Sherly asked as she raised both eyebrows.

Shaka laughed at Sherly.

"Yes, both." Shaka replied with a big smile.

"Btw, after graduation, where are you going, Shak?" Ask Sherly.

"I don't have a plan yet, Sher. " Shaka replied briefly while still smiling.

"Kog don't know, what does your life want?" Ask Sherly.

"I want to set up a Dojang, Sher." Shaka Sahut.

"The corner's a training ground." Answer Shaka.

"You want to set up a taekwondo training ground? You want to train, Shak?" Asked Sherly curiously.

"Yes, Sher." Shaka replied while nodding his head.

"Btw, where are you going, Sher?" Ask Shaka.

"Papa wants me to go to the USA. Papa wants me to go to Harvard Business School, to continue my business." Sherly.

"But I don't know." Answer Sherly.

"Why is that, Sher." Shaka asked curiously.

"Mama told me to stay out of college." Answer Sherly.

"Maybe I'll think about it again, you're here anyway. I don't trust easily and make friends with people." Its effects.

Shaka just smiled broadly with the sentence coming out of Sherly's lips.

"Oh yeah, when did you go to Jogja for the championship?" Ask Sherly.

"Two weeks after graduation, Sher." Answer Shaka.

"Emang why?" Ask Shaka back.

"I want to see you fight Shak. But I'm sure you're not with mom." He said with annoyance.

"That's why, Sher. Too far." Answer Shaka.

"But I want to see you." Sherly.

"Even if you don't come, I know you'll always support me." Answer Shaka.

"But, Shak.." said Sherly.

"Udah got nothing. I know you'll always be there for me, Sher. Thank you." Thank you." Shaka said as he rubbed Sherly's hair.

Meanwhile, in a distant place, which was hundreds of kilometers from Malang City. A girl was staring at a photo of Shaka along with herself in her hand. The photo was the only photo he kept when he left the city of Malang. Her tears fell down, soaking her white cheeks. Around the girl, there are 2 suitcases that are black and pink and ready to be carried.

A short time later, a woman came to open the door of her room. He looked at his daughter who was sitting on the edge of his bed. He was silent for a moment and walked up to him. He sat down next to her and then rubbed her hair.

"Sorry mom, Besty. Mama had to do all this." Aunt Belvina.

Besty was silent for a moment and said :

"Besty understands, ma. Mama did all this to save our company and our family." Besty replied while wiping her tears.

Aunt Belvina let out a long sigh and then said :

"Hendra's family is the only partner of our family company. If they break their relationship with our company, then all companies in the family group will withdraw." Aunt Belvina.

"Mama explained last time. Mama's sorry for asking you to leave Malang and ruin your relationship with Shaka." She said as she continued to stroke Besty's hair.

"Yes, ma. Besty understands." Answer Besty.

"It was clear to Besty that Besty was the only hope to save our company from bankruptcy." Answer Besty.

"Thank you, son." Mama said Besty while embracing Besty. While Besty just kept quiet while wiping her tears and then kept back a photo of herself along with Shaka in her jacket pocket.

"Yes, let's go. We'll be late to check in on the plane." Say her mother standing up and carrying a large black suitcase out of the room. After that, Besty got out of bed and then carried the pink suitcase out of the room, following her mother from behind.
