Chapter 64

"Arka, there's no need for this. You're overreacting."

Naya was shocked when her husband suddenly hired a bodyguard to watch over her. 

Crazy, maybe that one word is enough to describe how crazy Arka is. Naya wasn't a celebrity or an important person, she didn't need a bodyguard but suddenly her husband hired one.

"You, do your job. Keep an eye on my wife wherever she goes. Report to me if she meets this man." Arka seemed to give a photo of Zack to the bodyguard he hired.

"Yes sir, I will do my best."

"Okay. Naya, I don't want to know the point that from now on wherever you go, he will be watching you. I can't trust you anymore. How many times have you promised not to meet Zack but in reality you guys see each other a lot."

"I didn't meet Zack!"

"Then why did you go home with him last night?"

"I just happened to meet him when my car broke down. I..."

"Never mind I don't want to hear your words anymore. If you still want to respect me as your husband, just follow my rules," Arka said before Naya could finish her sentence.

Not wanting to argue with his wife for too long, Arka chose to go straight to campus because today he had a morning class while Naya had a class in the afternoon.

A long sigh escaped Naya's mouth when she saw her husband leave the house. She gave her bodyguard a disapproving look and said, "I don't need you, you might as well leave."

"Sorry miss, I've been assigned to guard you so I won't leave without Mr. Arka's orders."

Stomping her foot in annoyance, Naya went inside her house. Leaving her bodyguard standing outside the house. Naya hoped that her bodyguard would leave later. 

...

"Naya called mom?"

Just a few moments after leaving for campus, while on the way, Arka suddenly got a call from his mom. She asked if it was true that He had hired Naya as a bodyguard or not. It looked like Naya had just complained to his mom. Otherwise, there was no way his mom would suddenly call him and ask about it.

"Naya just called mom, she said you hired a bodyguard to watch over her. Oh My God Arka, what are you doing that for? Isn't that too much?"

"Never mind mom, you don't need to interfere in my business. This is my way of looking after Naya, I'm doing this to keep our household intact."

"But Arka..."

"Mom, I'm on my way to campus. I'll call you later. Good bye." Right after saying this, Arka immediately cut the phone connection between herself and her mother.

Arka let out a long sigh. He didn't expect Naya to complain to her mom so soon.

Elsewhere, Naya, who had just finished complaining to her mother-in-law, turned to Jihan to tell her story. She looked very upset as she told Jihan about Arka hiring a bodyguard to watch over her.

"Are you serious? Arka hired a bodyguard to look after you? Omg Naya, what's wrong with you? Is there someone threatening your safety?" Jihan asked in a panicked tone.

"Nothing, Jihan. I'm not in any danger. You should know the reason why Arka hired a bodyguard. It's because he doesn't want me to meet Zack."

"Zack? The guy you were telling me about? Do you guys see each other often?"

"That's right. We don't meet each other often. It's just that often by chance Zack comes when I need help. It was completely unintentional but Arka was angry."

"If I were Arka, I would be angry too. Naya, Arka is angry because he's jealous. He doesn't like seeing you with other men even if it's just a chance encounter. If the situation was reversed, Arka was the one who often met other women, would you keep quiet?"

Hearing Jihan seem to be defending Arka made Naya even more upset. Naya's intention in contacting Jihan was for Jihan to defend her and help her find a way to avoid having to be guarded by bodyguards, but it turned out that Jihan was defending Arka even more.

"You're just like Arka. Let's not talk about that. I called you to ask for advice on what I should do to stop the bodyguard from guarding me."

"Where is he now? Where are you and where are you planning to go today?"

"He's outside. I have a class at the college in the afternoon."

"Okay, try not to leave the house until noon. Who knows, she might get tired of waiting for you and leave?"

Naya was silent for a while thinking about Jihan's words. If you think about it, there is some truth to it. Who knows the bodyguard was tired of waiting for her who never left the house. Moreover, the weather outside seemed to be very hot, the bodyguard must have overheated because he was not told to come in.

"Alright I'll wait. I'll turn off the phone then."

:::

At 2pm, Naya, who was already dressed in her college clothes, planned to leave. While pushing the trolley containing Kenzo, she walked slowly out of the house. Naya silently prayed that the bodyguard Arka had hired had left.

Before opening the door, Naya took the time to peek through the window. To see if the bodyguard was still there or not. It turned out that there was no one outside. Knowing that certainly made Naya happy.

"Looks like Jihan was right, the bodyguard must have left because he was tired of waiting."

Naya happily opened her door and walked towards the garage where her car was. 

"Miss, do you want to go to campus yet?"

Naya's steps stopped as soon as she heard someone's question. Right at that moment, Naya turned around. She was shocked to see that the bodyguard she thought had left was still there. Oh my, how could that be? Wasn't he there earlier? Naya thought.

"You, why are you still here? Wasn't there earlier?"

"I was just smoking outside. Do you want to go to the college? Let me take you."

"No need! I can go by myself!"

"I'm sorry Miss, but Mr. Arka has told me to follow you wherever you go."

"But I want to go by myself!!!"

Seeing that Naya didn't want to be escorted, the bodyguard immediately occupied Arka. Arka forced Naya to want to be escorted to the campus or not to go to the campus. Hearing this threat, Naya finally gave in.
