It’s Complicated!By : Mutia Nur Maulida

“I’ve told you repeatedly that I don’t need a bodyguard, Dad. You know that I’ve mastered everything, especially self-defense, don’t you understand me? Although I’m 15 now, but I can defense myself without a bodyguard.” said Asakura Amu, but usually called Mucchan, pitifully.

Dad always persuades her to have a bodyguard. He never gives up to do that. He is overprotective. Since he installed as the Prime Minister of Japan, there had been many people who aimed the Asakura’s.

“You must have a bodyguard, dear. It’s all for your safety.” said him.“Maybe you should obey your Dad, dear. It’s okay if you have, isn’t it?” Mom persuaded her, too.Oops, two versus one. She defeated in this debate surely. She kept silent and thought until she got an

idea to refuse it.“Hmm... okay. But the bodyguard must a multi-talent boy, he must have mastered everything, and he is

not more than 18 years old. I’m sure there aren’t any bodyguards like those! I think you should give up, Dad.”

But, Dad won’t give up easily. He took a quite big and thick book in a stack of books on his table. He opened it. It’s the lists of the bodyguard candidates for the Asakura’s. After he searched on that book, he smiled, and closed that book.

“I’ve two, Belphegor and Rasiel. They’re multi-talent, mastered everything, and quite genius. Belphegor is 15 years old and Rasiel is 16 years old. I’ve complete your quests, now you must have a bodyguard. Okay, I’ll call them this night.” said Dad easily.

“What?! Dad has it?! NO!!!” said Mucchan in her mind loudly.It was 6:18 PM. Mucchan walked into Dad’s work room lazily. She knocked the door and she came in.

Dad was still busy with his work. The bodyguards hadn’t come. Then, she lied on the sofa and turned on her iPod. An hour later, the door knocked.

“Come in.” said Dad, they came in. She was really surprise when she met them, they’re really good looking and cute!

“This is Asakura Amu. Amu, these are Belphegor and Rasiel.” Dad introduced them proudly.“Nice to meet you, guys! You can call me Mucchan.” said her cheerfully.His name is Belphegor, but Mucchan called him as Bel. His height is 165 cm. He is childish and quite

rowdy. The other is Rasiel, but Mucchan called him as Jill. His height is 170 cm. He looks gentler than Bel.“Which one, dear?” asked Dad.“Mmm... Either. Can I, Dad?”“Sure! Belphegor, Rasiel, you’re her bodyguards start from this night.”“Yes, Asakura-Sama.” answered them politely.“Hey, you don’t have to accompany me if I don’t ask you two. Just regard me as your friend, not your

boss, okay?” she whispered them. Then they nodded, confirming agreement.

It was Friday. Mucchan was taking a nap, while Bel and Jill were at the backyard. They were discussing about her.

“Looks like I feel in love with her.” said Jill suddenly.“What?! Mucchan?! I thought your type is feminine and long-haired, isn’t it? Of course she is not your

type. She’s a tomboy girl and smacking-haired. She looks like a boy than a girl, although she is perfect. You must be kidding, aren’t you?” said Bel doubtfully.

“I’m bored with that type, that’s ordinary. But she is different, she is cute and special I think! Mmm... I want to confess her. But if you love her too, I’ll give up. You don’t love her, do you?”

“No, I just regard her as my sister.”“He is unable to know that I love her, too. I don’t want to hurt him.” said Bel in his mind.It was Saturday. Mucchan, Bel, and Jill were sitting under the tree at the backyard. Suddenly, Jill

grabbed her hand.“Mucchan, I love you. Be my sweetheart, would you?” asked Jill.

“Sure!” She answered unconsciously, because she was really excited to hear that. She never confessed by any boys before, because she looks like a boy.

“Thanks, Mucchan.” said Jill and he hugged her at the same time.Bel was really angry when he heard her answer and saw her being hugged by Jill. But he tried to hide

his feeling and his jealousy to make Jill happy.“Congratulation.” said Bel coldly.“Wrong! I’m wrong! I shouldn’t accept Jill because of I never confessed by any boys. It’s just the same as

make him fooled. I must tell Jill that I don’t really love him!” said Mucchan in her mind.“Guys, wait a moment. I want to go to my friend’s house, because I have an appointment.” said Jill. He

stood up and left Mucchan and Bel. The atmosphere changed, after he had gone.“Bel, I want to say something.”“What do you want to say?”“I don’t really love Jill honestly. I just admire him.”“Then, why you accept him?!” shouted Bel.“Don’t ever to shout me! It’s all your fault! You keep silent toward me! I hate that!!! It’s all... It’s all

because I love...” Bel closed her mouth directly.“Stop!!! Don’t ever to say it again to me! I don’t want you to break my friendship with Jill. You must

make Jill happy. If you say it again, I’ll hate you and I won’t see you forever.” said Bel. He left her alone.“I’m sorry, Mucchan. I love you, too. But, it’s all for Jill. Sorry.” regretted Bel in his mind.“Why? Why he forbids me to tell my feeling to him?” said Mucchan in her mind, she cried. She felt

asleep under that tree after she had cried. It was in the evening. Jill had come home from his friend’s house. He went to the backyard and found her felt asleep there. When he wanted to pick her up, he heard Mucchan talked in her sleep.

“Love you... I really love you, Bel...”

It’s 10:22 PM, there were only Bel and Mucchan at her home. Mucchan watched TV alone, while Bel was at his room. Dad had a meeting in America with all of the Prime Ministers over the world. Mom worked at Asakura’s Hospital, her own hospital. She usually only went home on weekend. Jill was at his aunt’s house, because his aunt was sick. Suddenly, Bel went down the stairs and approached her. He threw Karate clothes with a black belt to her, she caught it reflexively.

“I want to challenge you in Karate now. Your level is DAN-II, isn’t it?” said Bel.“Huh? Are you sure? Hmm... Okay, I accept it.” said Mucchan. Then they wore the Karate clothes.She tightened her belt, “Okay, I’m ready. Let’s play!”They began the challenge. Mucchan repulsed his attack. When she attacked him, he repulsed her attack

too. She tried to attack him again. And she handed down him this time.“You are more mastered everything than me in fact, except one thing.” said Bel.“What’s it?” asked her. He rolled on and handed down her.“Kiss!” said Bel with a grin. Then, he kissed her.“How was it? I’m more mastered than you, am I?”“Yup, I admit it.” answer her. Then, he kissed her again. Jill saw them in fact.“Okay, that’s enough.” said Jill. He clapped his hand by smiling and walked toward them. Then, he

punched Bel repeatedly. Bel kept silent and didn’t punch Jill back.“Stop, Jill! It wasn’t Bel’s fault, but it’s all my fault! I just admire you, I love Bel in fact.” shouted her.Jill kept silent, “Okay, just one punch again and I’ll forgive you two.” said him. Then he punched Bel

once.“I guess it’s all our faults. Bel, you lied and didn’t tell your true feeling to us. Mucchan, you accepted me

just because you admire me. And I confess Mucchan although I knew that you two love each other. Okay, I’ve forgive you, guys. Every now and then, we’re best friends!” said Jill.

Mucchan hugged them directly, “Yeah! We’re best friend, not a boss and two bodyguards!”“But now I’m your best friend and your boyfriend, Mucchan!” Bel whispered with a smile.
