I Love You, My Bodyguard
Chapter 26

"Hey, daydreaming!" call Jacob while placing a glass of size large enough in front of Marshel, making the man one felt a little surprised at Jacob's call that impressed was deliberately surprising the man.

"Yes ... a little, I don't know why I'm still thinking about the matter that's going on between me and young lady Jasmine," marshel replied while receiving a glass glass full of tanned liquid given by Jacob earlier. "Chocolate frappuccinos? Not usually once, Jacob."

"Once I want to make something a little different, Marshel, just drink, it's not good if you drink a lot of coffee." Jacob put on a proud smile while looking straight at Marshel' green eyes. "Is there anything you might want to tell me, Marshel? Who knew I could help out a little regarding your matter with that Jasmine."

The man who had a tall and stocky body and brown hair and green eyes was stunned for a moment when he heard the sentence, looking at Jacob with a pias look. "Hey, Jacob, don't you think it's natural that someone, rather a bodyguard like me, falls in love with a young lady?"

The one being asked instantly raised both of his eyebrows as high as possible, half believing and half in disbelief when he heard such a question. I don't know, Jacob thought that people like Marshel were so hard to fall in love that the man himself didn't expect it until Mashel himself asked him.

"Hm .. I think it's normal that you fall in love with Jasmine, I mean who doesn't fall in love with that kind of woman? I don't think there's anything wrong with that feeling of yours, Marshel," Jacob replied long and wide as he looked at his own interlocutor with a casual look.

The one who was stared at then sighed while starting to drink the super sweet brown liquid that Jacob had given to him. The taste of the drink is very sweet, it can even be said to be very-very sweet for Marshel who usually consume bitter drinks, which are very sweet, but somehow the drink this time could make Marshel feel much more relaxed and relaxed than usual.

"Normal, yes .. somehow I feel that the feeling I have over this young lady Jasmine feels so taboo and wrong, making me feel so inappropriate as well as so uncomfortable. I don't know, like I've violated the sense of professionalism that I've always held high," said Marshel while staring in the other direction, feeling a little reluctant to just stare back at his own interlocutor.

Jacob who had listened to Marshel's broad panang words and nodded his head, it seemed that the man also understood the situation between Marshel and the woman of his heart. "Well, there really is nothing wrong with the love story of the two of you, after all, it is only the feelings of two human beings, and it is just the feelings of two human beings, but still if it's already an idealism that you have not to fall in love with your own boss, then what can I do?"

"If you were in my position, Jacob, what would you do?" Marshel asked back as he sipped the chocolate drink more and deeper than usual. "At this time I myself am worried about what I should do, even though I am also guilty of what I have done before."

"What have you done, Marshel? Don't tell me that you've asked Jasmine to give up on the feelings she might have towards you, and that request of yours has made her cry?" Jacob asked, in order to predict what possibilities have been done by Marshel that allows to make the man feel guilty by itself.

Well, indeed Jacob knew that Marshel was a typical man who almost always held firm to his idealism, but what Jacob doesn't know is that that one man will take his own mind to a completely different and almost unpredictable level altogether. 

Sure enough, Marshel did ask Jasmine to give up on her own feelings? Has this Marshel lost all of his own mind for a decade and gone so crazy as to simply not let the Jasmmine who might have loved him back grow and grow over time? 

"Don't tell me you asked him to come to terms with feelings he might have toward you, Marshel?" Jacob asked with a feeling of anxiety in the heart of one man. As per the conjecture Jacob had made in his heart, Marshel nodded his head as if to answer the question with just a brief nod.

"Based on a lunatic, you're completely unreasonable, huh? You can ask Jasmine to give up like that! I mean, really, Marshel, I know you're very, very idealistic, but that doesn't mean you actually do that, does it? Now how do you want?" Jacob asked again in a tone that showed how upset the man would be for Marshel whom he considered to have acted as he pleased.

The man seemed to be silent, saying nothing instead of sipping his drink again. Actually Marshel also thought, what will he do in the future to take care of this one problem, where it feels impossible for the man to let the problem pass him by, just like that, left without being taken care of at all.

It was obvious that Marshel could not just leave the matter, but on the other hand, somehow Marshel still felt not ready to go back to see the young lady, given that she was the one who had been the main cause behind Jasmine's tears coming out this morning.

Deep down inside that one man's heart, there was a different feeling of guilt that had come to him just like that, tying Marshel and ostensibly forcing the man to undo his intention to meet the woman who has a caucasian face that has eyes that have a blue sea color that has also become the woman of his heart.

Marshel let out a long sigh, while placing the glass on the table, then back leaning his wide back just like that in the chair of the mugil cafe, reluctant to look at Jacob who had been staring straight at him.

"Come, Jacob, I don't have any idea what I should do at a time like this."
