TRAGEDY AUGUST 13 '98
SECTION 033
“Sstt. Stop, Anna. You can't talk too loudly here.” Can warn.
“Alright,” Anna steps closer to Zaid. Staring, blotting his lips. “Hey, you! Come with me now.”
“Not necessary, Anna. I nagged him earlier.” Can mediate.
“No, Brother. Still, he should ...”
“Already, that's enough, Anna. You should rest too. You were running so fast.”
Can pulls Zaid's hand leading him to the stand, Can's seat.. “And you, come with me here.”
Zaid. Sometimes he looked at Anna and stuck out his tongue. Makes Anna even more upset.
“This is it. This is my seat. This chair has been specially designed for me. Made from real leather and directly imported from Italy.”
Zaid smiled. “Not necessary. I have to stand up to take care of you.”
“Come on, it's okay. You should sit here, and I'll sit on this little bench.”
Zaid finally sat down in Can's chair. What Zaid did paid off. Can is a person who likes to be strong in the weak and weak in the strong.
Zaid managed to make Can look weak in front of everyone who saw him at that time.
In fact, Can rarely do good to his staff, even though it was Anna herself.
“Hmm, how is this? What should I call you? Lord Guards? Oh, my God, that's too formal. Zayd? It's also too formal. Zaid's adjutant, Zaid's bodyguard? Ah, Zaid's bodyguard seems easier.”
“Yes, Zaid Guards. That sounds good.” Can smile.
Zaid bends face. Didn't expect Can to be that gentle with her.
“Alright, Zaid Guard. You should drink this juice.” One glass of juice is given by Can. “Athletes like us should drink plenty of nutritious fiber. Drink that. Spend this.”
How could Can Yemen suddenly be so kind? Inner Anna.
“Gosh, it looks like you're really thirsty. You drink that juice well and it looks so elegant.” Can praise.
“This is it. You should try this too.” Can take a plate filled with pieces of watermelon.
“No need. I'm not hungry.”
“You can't refuse the kindness of others, Guard Zaid.”
Zaid let out a long sigh, and finally tried the pieces of watermelon one by one. He no longer knew what reason to refuse.
On his first day as a bodyguard, he got a good move. They both look very familiar like best friends.

At nightfall, Zaid remained in Can's residence. That night a lot of people were in Can's mansion.
The crew was busy preparing the items to be used tomorrow, and cleaning up all the items that had been unused.
On the front porch of the house, Zaid looks aloof and enjoys a cigarette. He was picking up a phone call from the Emir.
Talked long enough that night.
Emir said that there was one veteran BTI agent who also sought the existence of the three Buddha statues. Tell Zaid to be careful in his mission.
Karen the veteran agent referred to Emir is a person who is quite experienced and has many people who follow him even though he has long retired to be an agent.
Behind the balcony wall, where Zaid was, was seen Anna who had eavesdropped on Zaid's conversation.
