YUMNA AZZURA'S
153. The Desire to Protect
Aware of Juan's gaze at her, Yumna just silently turned her gaze towards the front. Juan was now silent with his own thoughts. The voice of Syifa and Azkhan beside her could no longer be heard in her ears.
For a moment Juan was silent, not expecting what he had heard. It was unexpected that Yumna had ever been married. Never did the girl talk about this.
Okay, he is a stranger to Yumna. I don't know, it feels like something feels strange, either disappointed or how he feels in his heart now?
"Where are we going?" ask Arkhan who is still driving his vehicle towards the front. He looked towards the brother at a glance.
"We're looking for food, brother, I'm hungry!" syifa from behind. "Sister Yumna, let's eat. Brother Juan too, we eat together huh. I'm hungry!" Syifa again exclaimed, breaking the quiet atmosphere that was in the car.
"Yes, then let's go get some food. Juan is coming with us too." Yumna offered a glance at Juan, the man nodded his head.
"Yeeeeey.. we then!!" Syifa shouted, making her brother and sister cover their ears.
Arkhan drove his car towards a cafe. After they got out of the car and walked into the cafe.
Syifa and her twin sisters, walking ahead of her brother and her friend.
Yumna and Juan were feeling awkward now. They walked together following their sister who had already entered the cafe. The two of them were silent and did not speak. It feels strange to them at this time.
"So you've been married?" juan asked Yumna. Their steps were very slow as if they did not want to quickly go in there.
"Yes I was married." Yumna replied quietly like she was whispering. His heart felt uneasy about Juan's question. Not bothered by the man's words, but his heart ached as it remembered him.
"And finished, so I went to calm down to Grandma's house" Yumna said again.
"It's okay, I'm everywhere." replied the man calmly, both of them went inside the cafe and then joined Yumna's three sisters. An additional seat had already been prepared by Arkhan, he picked up from the empty table beside their table.
"What do you want Juan to order?" syifa asked Juan, who was sitting next to her brother, while she sat between her twin sisters.
"I am anything, free." Juan replied to Syifa. Syifa nodded then started mentioning everyone's orders. Syifa was very unhappy with the food of each brother's liking.
The five men ate together. As usual Syifa became a jolly girl who livened up the atmosphere coupled with Azkhan who always answered Syifa's questions. Arkhan only occasionally answered if asked. Juan laughed when he heard the syifa that was busy telling him about his high school days, occasionally he glanced towards the yumna who only listened to his sister's story.
They were done from their lunch. The five men rushed out of the cafe and got back in the car. Arkhan immediately drove his car to a crowded street.
"Where is Brother Juan?" Arkhan asked the man. Juan mentioned an address and then Arkhan started to drive his vehicle to where it was headed.
Their car arrived at their destination. Syifa was fascinated to see Juan's palace. Very big and also magnificent,
"You wanna stop by?" juan asked before he opened the car door.
"Ah no, thank you. We'll go straight home. I miss my mom." Yumna refused Juan's offer. Juan just nodded his head, before he got off in the car he also said a word of thanks to the four brothers.
Syifa waved her hand at Juan as their car returned to walk away from the mansion. Juan returned Syifa's hand, smiling and nodding his head.
Until the car disappeared around the corner Juan had not yet entered the house. In his heart he felt strange. Desire to protect the woman and give her happiness.
