My Beloved Bodyguard's
MBB 94

Glancing at Bayu, Rarendra smiled bitterly. “I still love him.” The words were uttered without hesitation and embarrassment. In fact, he ignored her adage, discussing her feelings.

Bayu. His feelings are being ridiculed without permission, slamming him and tracing pain.

“She's my wife, I love her too.” Firm and show ownership, there is an unacceptable tone in a series of sentences that slide smoothly from the lips of the man who works as a personal guard. Any husband will feel trampled on by his self-esteem when another man steps over.

Rarendra glanced at it for a moment. The wounds on his body made him unable to move. Occasionally it looks hissing when the movement hits the wound.

“I ... em it seems like I have to come clean and admit my mistake.”

Bayu jerks. Looking at Rarendra who was struggling with his own mind. “What do you mean by all this? Don't say ... you want to come back after so long.” The man shook his head.

“I'll just admit my mistake first. Trying to be frank and apologizing.” Rarendra said slowly.

“And intend to return?” Bayu.

“No, just relax. I'll just tell Shanuella the truth. From my version, not intending to snatch it from you.” Rarendra.

“For what? Feel sorry and want to come back?” The slightly dark-skinned adult man shook his head. “I won't hand it over to anyone. Don't hope, Shanuella is not an item, it can be proffered to others. Can be donated to those in need. No, my wife is not like that.” Bayu.

“I didn't mean it that way either.” Rarendra. 

“Then, why expose it now? Why not from the past, after being aware and sorry?”

“Nothing. I'm haunted by uncomfortable feelings. To be honest, I haven't calmed down in all this time either. I know ... I'm guilty of him, but, I have a reason why to do this heinous act.”

Bayu. Silence enveloped as chatter paused for a moment. Staring at Rarendra who looked confident, implied from the tightening jaw line.

“Well, what you say can make my wife's mind change, can destroy my marriage.” 

“What I'm saying, has nothing to do with you. That's my past. Please fight for your future. Right now, I just want to fix what's been wrong all along. Nothing to do with ...”

“Hmm.” Rarendra muttered softly. Her lips forced a smile.

“But, reality is not so.” Bayu.

Glancing at the man with a tired face who was sitting next to him, Rarendra stared fixedly at “You betrayed me. The one you married was my girlfriend, Shanuella SunShine. And worse, hide this fact for years. I became suspicious. Among all the workers of Hartanto Sunjaya, you are the only one who came to me and asked for a job. What do you mean exactly? What intentions are you hiding?” He looked stunned, realizing something.

“No. The one I married was not your boyfriend. He's Blade's girlfriend. Blade is long dead. Coward, that loser has long gone. I think, he will not dare to appear after so long.”

Rarendra smiled wryly. “I now appear. I'm Blade.”

“For what to admit now? Isn't it too late. Shan-Shan has lost a lot. Better, just shut up. I don't want to see him hurt. Not afraid he chose you,” insisted Bayu.

“Blade?” 

The private conversation between the two men came to a halt as a foreign voice sounded quietly from the direction of the entrance. Bayu was surprised, finding Shanuella already standing there. The man had been unconscious since when his wife stood up and eavesdropped on the chat.

“Shan, you ... done ..”

“Dia Blade, ‘kan?”

Bayu was silent, Rarendra was silent.

“She Blade. I know, even I'm sure I saw it from the beginning. He's Blade. Lips can lie, but eyes are honest. Dia Blade, ‘kan?” The question was with Bayu.

“Shan ..”.

“Dia Blade, ‘kan?” shanuella firmly with a loud voice broke the silence of the night.
