Your love gave me life

Equally Strange

“Ke apartment Sarah,” Alden command on Raka.

The two had just finished their 3 o'clock meeting and Alden rushed back to the waiting car with a driver.

“Do I have to go there too ?”

“Iya,” Alden nodded for sure.

“To be clear I am still a little careless to meet Sarah after seeing her action in the photos.”

“Gue whose future husband, why be a troubled elo ?” ledek Alden chuckling.

Raka just let out a long sigh, not understanding the thoughts of her bosses lately.

Even after seeing a picture of his future wife in a vulgar state, Alden showed no signs of being a normal man who should be angry, disappointed, jealous maybe even getting rid of Sarah far away

”Al, elo brain does not slide, right ?” Raka narrowed her eyes as she really felt strange with her boss attitude.

“If until my brain is sliding, the first thing I will do is throw elo away as my assistant !” firmly Alden while laughing.

“Any cry gozer-goser if there is no me ?”grumbled Raka with a pouting face.

Alden just laughed and took the phone out of his pocket and typed a message into who number.

“You want to order what food to make in the apartment ? Let me pesenin now, so fitting we arrive, food also arrived,” asked Raka who immediately prepared with his phone.

“Neventless. Just sit quietly until you get to the apartment. I want a break.”

Alden leaned his head against the back of the chair and closed his eyes at Sarah's apartment.

The two got off in the lobby and asked the driver to wait in the parking lot.

As soon as he arrived at the door of Sarah's apartment, Jaka and Dina stood waiting and immediately nodded their heads while greeting Alden and Raka.

“You can go home tonight and have a holiday in the next 2 days,” Alden said in a firm tone.

Raka just frowned and did not protest with Alden's words. Both Sarah's bodyguards are disbanded and Alden is out of work in the next 3 days, meaning….

“Elo replaced them as his bodyguard Sarah ? Elo is still sane, Al ?”

Alden did not reply, only gesturing for Jaka and Dina to leave and enter Sarah's apartment.

Sarah Belle was surprised when there was a circular burly hand on her waist while washing dishes in the kitchen. Sarah Belle doesn't notice who broke into her apartment believing that Jaka and Dina will look after her.

“Are you setting this up ? What if Jaka and Dina's anesthesia incident happens again ?”

Sarah Belle's body suddenly stiffened when Alden's breath was felt in the niche of her neck. His shoulders felt a little heavy as Alden's head was leaning there.

“Sorry me...”

Sarah Belle grew more nervous as Alden's hands tightened around her waist.

“I finished this job first,” Sarah Belle showed me one pan she was rinsing.

Alden complied and let go of his embrace then walked towards the dining table.

“Since when can you cook ? And why cook like this much?”

Alden took a tablespoon and tasted one of the food saru held there. It must be admitted that Sarah's food tastes good and feels familiar on Alden's tongue.

“I want to take Jaka and Dina to dinner together tonight. They're not just bodyguards to me but I've considered them friends.”

Sarah Belle passed the dining table from the opposite side of Alden standing.

“Where to ?”

“Calling Jaka and Dina,” Sarah Belle just glanced at a glance, reluctant to stare at Alden.

Alden's embrace in Sarah's body made Annabelle's heart beat uncharacteristically. The smell of Alden's familiar body in Annabelle's smell made her heart soar, happy.

“They've been told to go home,” Alden said. “Until the next two days, I will be your personal bodyguard.”

“What do you mean ?” Sarah Belle turned her head while frowning.

“My sentence is clear. Isn't this what you wanted all this time ?” Alden smiled faintly. “You used to tease me and ask me to stay in this apartment. Now I'm going to obey your wishes and make you happy. Didn't I tell you that I will still marry you after the time you ask ends ?”

Sarah Belle moved away as Alden's position got closer to her until she finally bumped into the edge of the dining table.

“Why nervous ?” Alden whispered in the ear of Sarah Bella who was standing stiffly leaning against the edge of the dining table.

”Didn't you usually do it with men ? Stay in one apartment even one room ?”

Sarah Belle sighed and looked at Alden with a sad face.

What does it mean that you threw away your idealistic principles and were willing to sleep with Sarah before you got married ? Inner Annabelle.

“Why is your face even sad ? Shouldn't you be happy because I will fulfill your wish tonight?” Alden smiled smirk.

Sarah Belle dared to look at Alden and pushed the man's body away.

“My request changed. As I said when I stayed at the Hutama family home, it will not touch or physical contact until the 100 days end.”

“You sure ?” Alden held Sarah's arm back walking away from him.

“S thousand percent sure. There will be no excessive touch or physical contact except hand grip,” stressed Sarah Belle with a sad look.

“Now where are you going?”

“I want to take a quick shower, my body is sticky to cook.” Sarah Belle paused her steps for a moment but did not turn her head.

Sarah Belle greets Raka, who is sitting in front of the television before she enters the room.

It only took 20 minutes Sarah Belle was out again and went straight to the dining room while taking Raka who was still sitting in front of the television.

“Is there anyone else Mas Raka met while sitting here ?” Sarah Belle laughed softly as she invited Raka to sit down with a movement of her hand.

“Mas Raka ?” asked Alden while frowning. “Since when did you call Raka like that ?”

“Indeed I usually call him what ?” Sarah Belle asked. His hand moved to get the rice and side dishes for Alden, making Raka even more confused.

The rare events in front of him were well recorded with Raka's senses, let alone looking at Sarah's attitude that served Alden painstakingly, as if it was commonplace.

“Did you do the same thing when you were with Reyhan ?” alden asked suddenly made Sarah Belle turn her head and frown.

“I don't know,” authentic origin.

“You did it how could not know ? Don't tell me if you forgot how to treat Reyhan all this time,” asked Alden back in a flat tone without emotion, There is no cynicism or satire let alone jealousy in Alden's speech.

”Can we not discuss about anyone else tonight ?” sarah Belle said in a very upset voice.

Not wanting to dodge, but as Annabelle she was completely ignorant and unwilling to know. Even the unraveling of Sarah's photo stash problem is because Annabelle doesn't want to know how Sarah feels while doing her hot night with Reyhan.

“I purposely cooked this for my two new friends, but you kicked them out instead. At least make me feel that my efforts are not in vain and enjoy the food. Please don't make my mood so ugly,” pinta Annabelle.

“I didn't kick them out, baby. You should feel good about giving your new friends a day off and making myself your personal bodyguard.”

Raka immediately glared at Alden's increasingly strange attitude. The face of his best friend was sweet and his expression was like a man in love and crazy about his lover.

Raka grabbed the glass of water and gulped down its contents. His throat was dry despite not talking much at the moment.

“Let's eat,” Alden said while scooping the rice and side dishes. Alden looked at Raka and gestured for his assistant to eat.

Raka's eyes widened again as a spoonful of rice and side dishes entered her mouth.

“Nona is sure that this cuisine is homemade not buy in a restaurant ?” asked Raka with a brow.

“First don't call me miss, just name it. Second, do not pretend to praise me just because there is your boss here, a annoying man who always talks about the status of her future husband,” ketus Sarah Belle with a sullen face.

Alden laughed softly while enjoying his dinner.

“I don't pretend to praise, but this food is really delicious. Since when is the super busy Sarah learning to cook and the results can be as good as this ?”

“Don't argue and demand my future wife's answer. You should appreciate his efforts to make your husband happy with his cooking,” Alden reprimanded when he saw Sarah's face getting bent.

Raka nodded and continued eating without saying anything else until the three were done.

“Let me wash the dishes,” Alden restrains Sarah's arm that is ready in front of the sink.

“No need, this..”.

“Tick up the food on the table, let this be mine.”

Sarah Belle frowned, as if she did not believe Alden's attitude. Sarah Belle smiled faintly. It would be happy if Annabelle was here not Sarah's body.

Raka returns home after the driver delivers Alden's bag of clothes to the apartment. It seems that there is no point in Raka lingering in Sarah's apartment because all her advice is only considered wind then by Alden.

As a friend, Raka does not want Alden to experience bad events like Peter Gilang, but for this time it seems Alden has his own plans for Sarah.

“Why sleep outside ?” Alden, who had just finished bathing, walked over to Sarah Belle, who was lying on the sofa in front of the TV.

“It's okay, I'm more comfortable here than the two of you in the room,” Sarah Belle said casually.

Alden approached and sat down beside the sofa looking at Sarah Belle who was immediately mistaken.

“I'm going to sleep, so tired today. There goes into your room,” Sarah Belle pushes Alden who is flinching in his place.

“Tomorrow I will take you to the beach, we stay overnight and after that you stay at Hutama's house. Mommy and daddy want you to stay with them.”

“Serious ?” Sarah Belle's eyes were round and radiating happiness. “Om and Aunt really want me to stay with them ?”

“Iya,” Alden nodded. “And why don't you learn to call them daddy and mommy again the same as before because we'll soon get married too ?”

Sarah Belle, who was smiling happily, suddenly fell silent and turned sad.

”After there go to the room and sleep. It would be better if we leave early in the morning so as not to get stuck,” said Sarah Belle a little ketus.

Alden had knitted his eyebrows but his tired body made him choose to go into the room.

Alden sat for a moment on the edge of the bed, observing the situation in the entire room that seemed different to him.

The distinctive fragrance that sticks today is not the scent that Sarah likes, but others. I don't know why Alden actually likes the fragrance now.

***

While at Hutama's family home, Lanny's mommy looks frowning reading a message from her only son.

“Why else, dear ?” ask daddy Wira who is sitting leaning on the bed board while reading.

“Ngak usually Alden send a detailed message like this. Alden reported that tonight live in Sarah's apartment and tomorrow will take the woman to the beach.”

“Then what's weird ?”

“Come on,” mommy Lanny shook her head. “I am sad that Alden chose Sarah as his future wife even though he already knew what kind of woman Sarah was. And instead of staying away from the woman, Alden turned into a caring romantic guy when he knew that Sarah was quite happy with the credit card and atm that Alden gave.”

“We'll see until the time Belle asks is over,” said daddy Wira comforted his wife.

“Darling, did Alden not catch any figure Annabelle behind Sarah's attitude that changed completely ?” Mommy Lanny tilted her body towards daddy because her mind suddenly caught Annabelle.

“I don't know either. Hopefully.”

Daddy Wira put his book on the nightstand and turned off the reading light. The body of his wife and taken into his arms.

“”Sleep, just pray that Alden changes his decision and Annabelle can go back into her own body.”
