Grace of Love

Grace of Love
(Angel Guard)


Nindi opened the door slowly. Hope to see Hanna in good shape. Nindi's tears burst out for a moment, Hanna sleeping while holding the hand of Ivar sleeping next to her. Nindi's heart was filled to remember the warmth of Cakra all along. Ivar's figure would not be able to replace him, but seeing it as it was at this moment slightly treated her longing.


Ivar slowly realizes that Nindi is looking at him and Hanna. “Am I that handsome?” Nindi wiped the rest of her tears. She smiled even though her heart was still a little bitter.


“Sorry I'm so troublesome Ivar.”


“You're always sorry every meet.” Ivar sat down while holding Nindi's face sitting on the sofa. His soft face was clearly displayed before his eyes. “Why do you work?” I want Ivar to divert all the burden from Nindi's shoulders.


“Help for our living cost.” Nindi smiled in disbelief at Ivar's question.


“Why don't you just leave your life to me.” Nindi's eyes were round in disbelief.


“What Brother Ivar is still in dreamland.” Nindi flicked her hands in front of Ivar's face.


Ivar's hand quickly grabbed Nindi's wrist. Nindi's heart was racing faster, she had for life never been this close to a man. Cakra always kept her like a jewel until not a single male friend had her.


“Release Kak.” Nindi tried hard to let go of Ivar's hand.


“No.” With a face and a smile that sucks.


“Uncle..” The uproar that Ivar and Nindi created woke the little girl from her sleep. Ivar released Nindi's hand quickly upon hearing Hanna's voice.


“You woke up baby?” Ivar hugged Hanna gently. “Why did Hanna wake up? What's Hanna's nightmare?” Hanna shakes. “Then why did your beautiful daughter Uncle wake up?” Hanna sat on Ivar's lap comfortably.


“I'm hungry.” Hanna smiled broadly.


“Beautiful daughter Uncle starved. Can not be let, we must immediately find food.” Hanna laughed happily. Ivar holds Hanna and grabs Nindi's finished hand locking the boarding door.


“Neng.” A man gathered not far from Nindi's house.


“Iya Pak.”


“Just now we want to ask why there are guests until late at night at his home neng Nindi.” Nindi is only aware that Ivar's presence is troubling her neighborhood.


“Oh sorry sir, I just got home from work and Brother Ivar came to look after Hanna since this afternoon Pak.” Ivar felt Nindi's cold hand, he was terrified.


“Sorry sir, I am not a man who can do bad things as you fear.” Ivar took Hanna down. “Nindi take Hanna to the car, Sister Ivar follows.” Nindi complies with Ivar's request, Nindi feels stupid for not being careful.


“Tante? Are they mad at Uncle?”


“No Han, Uncle must be fine.”


Before long Ivar had appeared with his face sparkling, Nindi was relieved to see Ivar was fine without lacking anything.


“How? Are they angry, sister?”


“Somebody dare to be mad at me?” His face showed his arrogant attitude.


“Quietly, all safely under control.”


“Hanna want to not eat fried rice?” Hanna nodded, any food doesn't matter.


In the middle of the night, the streets are very quiet, Ivar looking for a fried rice cart that is open at night near the Nindi kosan. Luckily there is a food court that is open at night, many snacks and many visitors even though it is midnight.


Hanna who originally wanted to eat fried rice changed, they finally ate pecel catfish typical of east Java which was crowded with visitors. Hanna spent two pieces of catfish, Ivar did not feed her this afternoon.


After eating Ivar again delivered Nindi and Hanna, the patrons greeted Ivar kindly. Something was strange, but Nindi did not bother. Hopefully in the future there are no more problems that he caused and disturbed the environment.


“Lock the door, do not open it for just anyone.” Nindi nodded while holding Hanna inside.


“Uncle, I give you the green light.” Nindi glanced towards Hanna.


“Smart girl. From now on we have to work together.” Ivar rattled Hanna's hair in a rage.


After making sure Hanna and Nindi are safe, Ivar steps home. Her body was also very tired all day working and taking care of Hanna.


“Hanna? What is green light?”


“Confidentiality, Uncle says you can't tell Aunt Nindi.” Tenseyum without guilt.


“Oh…..So play secret nih.” Hanna just smiled so sweetly. Makes Nindi hug him. “You are this, whose child this is.” ************** Hanna's cheek is anxious.


Ivar's presence is like a guardian angel for Nindi, somehow the longer she feels more comfortable with Ivar's presence. He did not show much love to Nindi, he just showed it with all sorts of guards all along. He cares about Hanna like a father, he never tires of responding to the questions that come out of Hanna's mouth. He is very critical, once Cakra who always answered every question Hanna, now the presence of Ivar makes Hanna spill all her curiosity on Ivar.

Ivar walked straight into his room, turned on the lights and Ivar was surprised to see Edel whose disheveled face carried Jason standing by his bedside. The eyes on him were quite clear on how tired this woman was.


“You are! I think satan.” Knit Ivar while stroking his chest. “Why don't you sleep?” Ivar sat down while removing his tie and shirt.


“Jason is sick, I stopped with Mas Ayman holding him.” Edel sat slowly on the edge of the bed.


“Pity, why not take it to the doctor?” Ivar checked Jason's forehead, his temperature was not too high, but he was still. “I shower first, I'll carry.”


“Angel Me!!” Shouted Edel feeling happy.


Finished bathing Ivar kept his promise, replacing Edel keeping his son at home awake. “You just sleep, prepare what I have to give when the fever rises.”


“This is the cure, this is the milk you just warm in this machine. Do you know how to use it?” Ivar nodded. “I sleep 2 hours only, after that I come back here.”


“Iya sleep there.” Push Ivar on his older brother who looks heartless leaving his son with Ivar a.


Czechoslovak…


Ivar sends a picture of her holding Jason to Nindi. Of course there is no reply. Nindi must be sleeping.


Ivar compresses Jason's forehead, slowly heating Jason's body down. Ivar only gave Jason milk for crying thirst. After Jason who was exhausted from crying all day also fell asleep, Ivar went to sleep while holding Jason.


“Var..Ivar Edel wakes Ivar. “Quick breakfast, after that you can sleep again.”


“I'm tired, just later Kak.” Ivar pulled the blanket.


“No, you stayed up all night. You'll be sick.” Edel tried his hardest to pull Ivar's body which helped on the mattress.


Edel gave up, Ivar was so tired it seemed. He really didn't move one bit. Edel knew that if it was like this Ivar would not want to wake up until he was full of sleep.


Trings


“My Princes” Shouted Edel read the name of the sender of the message. Ivar who faintly heard immediately woke up and snatched his phone from Edel's hand.


“Sorry Brother, I'm asleep. Ivar's sister has a child?” Ivar read with a smile of his own.


“Who? I want to see.” Ivar avoided Edel's hand trying to grab his phone. “Ivar, quickly tell Kaka who My Princes is.”


Ivar still did not respond to her curious Brother's scream, he waltzed towards the dining table. Grabbing water quenches thirst from eating too much greasy food overnight.


“Edel! You took it once early in the morning blind.” Ellie doesn't like any commotion. “Fast eat Nak, you must be starving to work late at night.” Ellie grabs Ivar's hand, asking him to sit down and have breakfast together.


“I'm still full Mah.” Ivar just took a sip of white milk and returned to his room. His body was tired and his eyes were completely sleepy.


“Nindi, later this afternoon I will come again to accompany Hanna.” The message before going to bed.


“Good Brother, don't bother ya Kak.” Nindi replied not feeling well.


“Oh yes, the photo that was not my son. If we have a child later, he will be more handsome than my brother's son.” Sending with emoji love long line.


Uhukkk….


Hanna got some water to drink when she saw Nindi choking on her crouchy rice breakfast. “Tante want to drink again?” Hanna bargained when she saw Nindi looking down at the water one full glass.


“Quite Han.” Nindi regulated her breathing, her nose felt a little hot.


After breakfast, Nindi drove Hanna to school by public transport. Hanna was able to adjust now, early on Hanna would get hot and sweaty until her clothes got wet. Now his body can adjust to the conditions they are living.


“Han, come home later with Mr. Kadin yes dear. Aunty has told Hanna to come home with Aisyah.” Hanna interrupted, Nindi desperately wanted to be the best when she saw Hanna's innocent face.


“Tante..” Hanna looks doubtful talk.


“Why dear, say what is it?” Nindi crouched down in front of Hanna.


Hanna took out a letter from her bag. Last night Nindi came home late and Hanna forgot there was a notification letter from school.


“What is Han?” Nindi opened the envelope.


“Kata Bu Guru can Aunt Nindi who came because Mamah and Papah Hanna no longer exist.” His face was smiling but his eyes could not lie. There's a sadness Hanna tries to hide.


“Ok, Auntie will make a cool costume well.” Nindi doesn't discuss Hanna's feelings right now, she wants to make Hanna comfortable by not talking about people who mean a lot to her life.


Hanna waved at Nindi who was still standing in front of the school gate. Hanna's smile can spur Nindi's spirit every day, making her believe to live her days.
