• 17 Chapter 17 •

But, what can be done, he also knows my biggest secret. So he's going to be put in the most important person in my life, my secret shouldn't be widely spread out there.

“I've hurt a lot of people, even including the people I love. I still can't control it” – Mumamku

I closed the window and stared blankly at the rest of my room that looked messy, I started cleaning my room. Among the few items scattered, there was a white paper that managed to attract my attention. I immediately grabbed the paper and turned it over, it turned out that it was a piece of photo.

Photos of a pair of people joking on the edge of the bridge. Nice photo, who's this?

I stared at the photo for quite a while and it flashed in my mind that the man's face resembled Alvaro, it seemed like this photo belonged to him. I immediately opened the window and looked down, I saw Alvaro talking to Carel in the courtyard of the building. I undo my intention to call Alvaro and close my window again, I was afraid to interrupt the conversation between the two of them.

“Later I will return this photo, I will save it” – My mummy

I slipped the photo between a pile of books and immediately went to sleep.

...• 5 Alvaro POV •...

I descended safely from the 3rd floor window, almost falling down while stepping on some of the rocks on which I was to descend. I met Carel who had called me earlier, I went straight to him as soon as I saw him standing right beside the entrance.

“Carel, what's up? “ – Many

“Hurry in and meet Mr. Andrian, he wants to talk to you” – Carel replied

About what Mr. Andrian wanted to talk to me about, Carel told me that Mr. Andrian had known all about what had happened to his daughter and my identity was exposed.

I feel a little anxious if I'm going to be laid off from this job. I immediately walked into the building and met Mr. Andrian who was sitting relaxed on the guest sofa while sipping a cup of tea, I swallowed my saliva and mentally prepared me.

Mr. Andrian smiled at me and invited me to sit down, he shouldn't have treated me like this. I'm just a Lyra Bodyguard here, nothing more. I sat straight up and Mr. Andrian put his cup of tea on the table.

“I heard, my daughter was almost kidnapped huh? What were you doing back then that you let your guard down with my daughter? “ – Ask Mr. Andrian

“I'm sorry for my negligence, I lost track of your daughter as I followed her from behind after she invited me to meet at the cafe. Once again, I'm sorry” –

“Your negligence is so fatal, even my daughter was injured because of your negligence. And your identity was also revealed by my daughter. I should have dismissed you from this job as to which is stated in the agreement. But I don't think that's a good thing for my daughter, you went into my daughter's room when I visited her room, right? “ – Ask Mr. Andrian

I was stunned after hearing Mr. Andrian's explanation, he knew everything I was doing in this house. It's dangerous, haven't I crossed the line? Jesus, what am I supposed to say to Mr. Andrian as Lyra's father?

“Ma-sorry, Sir. I promise –“ – Say

“It's okay, it looks like my own daughter told you to come in because she opened the door for you. I'll talk to Lyra about your job as her personal Bodyguard. Whether he accepts you or not, it's Lyra's decision and inevitably you have to accept his decision” – explained Mr. Andrian

I nodded my head in understanding, Mr. Andrian completed our meeting and allowed me to go home. Mr. Andrian will send me money to my account for the salary of my duty for several days, from now on I can not forget the look of disappointment from Mr. Andrian. I know he was very disappointed in me for not being so good at looking after his beloved daughter, I kept blaming myself.

“Hey, how? “ – Ask Carel

I looked around, I didn't think I had come out of the building and was standing at the door. I walked towards Carel and sat beside him, I scrambled my hair in frustration.

“Hey, what's up? Sir Andrian dismissed you from your job? “ – Ask Carel

“I don't know, it depends how decision Lyra” – I replied

“Yes, patience Bro! If you are a match, you will be together again! “ – Say Carel

“That's the usual thing, a Father's affection for his daughter. What I saw from him was a good father figure for his daughter, so he hired others to take care of his daughter because he was very busy” – Carel said

“You... have a Dad? “ – Many

“Ehm, yes... I have, but am sleeping on the ground” – Carel replied

“Oh? We are the same, maybe the figure of the Father left us so that his son is independent” –

“We're the same? What about your mother? “ – Ask Carel

“My mom is sick and being hospitalized, I need money for my mom's hospital fee” – I replied

Carel gave no response and just fell silent, I also had no idea what I wanted to talk to him about anymore. Since the clock was showing midnight, we finished our meeting that night and I immediately went home. When I got home, I put myself in bed. I reached into my pocket, but I could not find the thing I was looking for.

“Eh? Where's my picture?! Holy hooch! As I recall, I put my picture on my shirt. What if it falls? But fell where? Argha! I have to look for it!” – Mumamku

I immediately got out of the house and walked slowly observing the path I was walking to get home, I continued to search for the whereabouts of my photo. Accidentally, I hit someone from behind.

“Ah, sorry!” – Sayku

A man I hit turned to me, in the man's hand was a female toddler he was carrying. The little girl laughed and waved at me, but the man's gaze seemed to be interrogating me.

“Oh, you? Alvaro's? What are you doing here? “ – Tanyanya

“I'm looking for something” – I replied

“What's looking for? “ – Ask the guy

“Not your business, what are you doing here? “ – Many

“Not your business” – Reply

Tck, he's following my words. Being annoyed at him, I ignored him and immediately sought my first destination coming to this path.

“Hei, Alvaro! Have you forgotten me? “ – Ask the guy

“Ya, you.. , that crazy crew chief” – I replied.

“You yourself stream perverted” – He said

“Be quiet! You better help me find my missing photo” – My love

“Photo? I didn't see it” – He replied

“Argh, okay. I'm leaving, see you” – Pamitku

I immediately left the widower and walked towards the Lyra building, probably falling over there.
