Fake Bodyguard

Nusa is half asleep, in the sense that she hasn't fallen asleep yet. While in the room after calling Rehan, she chose to watch the Korean drama marathon and finally maybe 10 minutes ago decided to fall asleep, but it didn't happen in the end.

"Nusa, it's me, your brother." someone outside the room said she already knew it was Rehan, so who else called himself 'brother'?

Nusa spread her arms in the air, and couldn't help but open her closed eyes. "Yes, I will immediately open the door for you." weak answered. Changing the lying position to sitting with a lazy movement, she again stretched the muscles in her body.

After feeling quite awake and her spirit returned, Nusa began to get out of bed, then walked towards the bedroom door. Turning the key, after that…

The door opened and revealed the figure of Rehan who had changed into more casual clothes.

"What's wrong?" asked Nusa wearily. She hasn't been able to respond enthusiastically to her interlocutor yet, because she's almost asleep and Rehan's arrival seems a bit disturbing.

Rehan raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong, you say?" he repeated, feeling strange at Nusa's question. "Why no hugs for me? I was really worried about you yesterday, but when you got back home, you behaved like this? It seems useless if I worry about you." he said in a voice that sounded like it hurt.

Nusa chuckled a little, even though she was lethargic, she still raised her cheerful smile. Then, she landed her head on Rehan's chest and entered the arms of the man who always looked after her.

"I miss you, a day feels like a week." She said in a soft voice. Pampered, always like that.

Rehan smiled, then hugged Nusa's tiny body tightly. "Let alone a week, because of this incident, I don't want to lose you even more. You said you promised to take care of yourself, and what's the proof? Are you stuck in a locker? Who did that?"

Instead of calming his sister down, Rehan got angry but he wasn't the grumpy type who made a high-pitched voice.

Nusa pursed her lips, though Rehan couldn't see it. "Yeah sorry don't be angry, Rehan. I don't know, suddenly stuck in a locker."

With that, Rehan let go of their embrace as that was enough. Then, he invited Nusa to sit on the edge of the bed with the bedroom door very wide open. "Tell me what happened? I want to know, and who locked you in the locker?" he said again asking the same thing.

Nusa was silent, she racked her brain to answer Rehan's question. She didn't want to lie, but how could a part of the fear in her body prevent her from saying it.

"Yes, I was trapped because of my actions, I was curious about the swimming room because today there is a swimming class. I just want to know the equipment, be a curious girl and find out," said Nusa who started to explain. She brings out the ability to compose stories so there is no nervousness in what she says.

Rehan traced the look on Nusa's face, careful because from the story he knew that it was a lie trying to be true.

"Don't lie to me," said Rehan with an intimidating look. Nusa's face still looked pale, and that meant she had to take a day off tomorrow. "Tomorrow you don't go to school, rest first until you recover." he continued, immediately concluding.

Nusa avoids Rehan's words of intimidation which are the same as her three male friends. She nodded her head in a slow motion. "Yeah, I think so too. Still a bit weak, I'll want to eat a lot of your cooking later."

Hearing that, Rehan nodded his head with a warm smile. He chose not to bring up the conversation about Nusa's disappearance yesterday, maybe Reza, Mario, and El were right if the younger brother still didn't want to talk.

"But we're eating with other people, aren't we? I bought a lot of groceries." He says. The voice that had been angry just disappeared, replaced with a voice that sounded full of worry.

Nusa raised an eyebrow, feeling confused. "Anyone else? who?" She asked.

"That's El, Reza, and Mario. Who else besides them are in this house?" Rehan replied.

Nusa couldn't understand why the three men had not returned to their respective homes? Why are they still here? Tell them to go home, they've been here too long after all."

"Husttt, you can't throw out visiting guests," Rehan replied. "Yeah, I asked why they weren't home yet, and they said it wasn't night yet. So that's fine, so our dinner won't be too quiet." he continued.

Nusa nodded her head, understanding what Rehan said. "Their family isn't looking?" She asked, in the end, she was very surprised by men who without permission went where they wanted to leave the house and when they returned they would not be interrogated.

"Well.. the name is also a boy. Not to mention that the three of them live in an abundance of wealth, it is clear that their lives are free. But as free as they are, I know if their association and scope of friendship are healthy and still fine, you can rest easy."

Rehan knows the three of them quite well, but not El. Even the El family considered the man a very difficult mystery to solve. Nothing can melt the ice that is in El's heart, nothing. Except for the person in front of him right now.

"When I become a person who is abundant in wealth, there will be many positive things that I will do out there. It's not just lazing around and playing like that."

"You girls, all you explore is what you think. We, boys, are more curious about the world and trying out what's out there."

"But Bara told me that I was the most curious girl, even though himself was more curious than me?"

Rehan grimaced, when it comes to El, he doesn't know anything. Whether the man was happy or not even crying, no one knew. Maybe only the closest people like Mommy and a few family members, the rest no one knows how El feels. Ah, don't forget that Reza and Mario who have been friends with El also work as a sweetener and complement El's coldness.

"If that's the case, I'll never know."

After answering like that, Rehan's gaze was very deep into Nusa's eyes. He sighed, then smiled a little. Nusa has grown up, and that means he has to be extra careful.

"You are always the favorite in my life. Taking care of yourself when I'm not by your side is a reward for my hard work and so you can learn to be more enthusiastic. I've put my trust in El, Reza, and Mario. Think of them as your bodyguards."
