"Balakosa is a kingdom that runs the town we currently know as Srigal Masa. As you all know, Srigal Masa is a ghost town abandoned in 1391 after the war broke out in Balakosa kingdom. The historian claimed the war was the most brutal civil war ever because many people did not run out of town back then and died in the town instead, so there are few to no live witnesses to describe what really happened back then."
Nagarjuna silently listened to the teacher's explanation as a group of high schoolers walked past him and his current client, Nina, who was so focused on examining the T-Rex bone in front of her as if she would find some hidden message on it. Her new obsession with the dinosaurs after discovering Jurassic Park movies is out of this world. This has been their third visit to the same museum—all because she wants to see the T-Rex bone again.
"So, the government called it the black war due to that very reason. Until today, we still don't know what went down there. No one has been going there to check on the ruin due to the government's ban."
"Juna, look at this spot! I think this bone is the real deal!" Nina suddenly exclaimed. She grabs the 180 cm tall man by his arm and shakes the other softly while her eyes are still glued to the T-Rex bone in front of her face. "If only we can touch it, it can confirm everything!"
Nagarjuna rolls his eyes at that, feels a little bit disappointed that he can no longer hear the teacher's explanation as the study tour group already walked ahead of them towards the next exhibition room—it was pretty interesting for him more than all the dinosaurs talk he was forced to have with Nina.
Nina Wasupati is heir to one of Indonesia's most famous coal companies. She dislikes the spotlight and all the scandal that she had to bear as the heir, so she spends her time away from the journalist, and her father lets her do whatever she wants as long as Nina studies well—and she does. Nina is a genius if anything, but she is unique personality-wise. She likes random things, is moody, and prefers to only hire one bodyguard that can drive instead of having four of them like how most of her peers did, which is why Nagarjuna Nagendra was employed in the first place.
A week ago, the 21 years old woman only talked about the cactus that her crush gave her. Yet, the moment she was done watching the Jurassic Park movie—it surprised Nagarjuna that she had never heard it before—all she wanted to know was about the extinct species. Nagarjuna thinks she may even forget that she had a crush at all at this point. Rich people are unquestionably weird.
"This is just a small museum, Nina. There are no claims this bone is real at all," he said, "If anything, your father's company should be the one who found the bone for you. All those digging and no bone found? Sound fake to me."
Nina gives him the side-eyes before slapping him lightly on the arm, "Meh, shut up. I specifically request us not to talk about Dad and the company in the same sentence on your contract or somewhere—I don't know, but that's not the point. I want to touch it!"
"I thought you hated the spotlight? Touching that will definitely give you just that! Don't drag me to jail with you. I need to have a clean history to survive, mind you."
Nina slaps his arms again, "You are no fun!"
Nagarjuna slips his arms into his jeans pocket and shrugs at that.
"You are no fun, and you have no appreciation whatsoever for my dino babies, so you better go and be useful somewhere for me," she states with a pouted lip, "Go buy me something to drink. It's hot in here. The AC must be dying around here."
Nagarjuna scoffs at that, "I'm your bodyguard, not your maid," he started as he pulled his hand out of his jeans pocket to flick her softly on the forehead—ignoring her soft 'Ouch, ya!' and continued on, "And older than you at that, so have some respect for your elder, Nina, come on. I raised you better than this!"
Nina rubs her forehead softly as she hisses at Nagarjuna, "You did not raise me, old man! Just go buy me something to drink! Aren't you thirsty? Buy some for yourself, go!"
She slaps the other again, this time on his shoulder, as an act of revenge before rummaging through her tiny bag and pulling out her black card. "Here, use this. Now go and bother someone else in this place!"
Nagarjuna wondered whether Nina even realized what kind of drink she wanted that she thought she could pay it with a black card. The nearest store around the museum only sells cans of soda that cost less than ten thousand rupiahs, and he is pretty sure they need a payment terminal for this. Once again, he cannot comprehend rich people.
"You know I'm supposed to be with you wherever you go, right? You only hire one bodyguard, which is me, Mam."
Nina rolls her eyes at that and shoves the card into Nagarjuna's hand,
"Nobody going to attack me in a museum! There's security there and a lot of cute kindergarten children over there with their parent and teacher—I will be fine, Juna, go, go!"'
Nagarjuna knows that, actually, and not because of what Nina claimed to be but because he knows Nina is a black belt on Taekwondo herself so having him around is just to give peace of mind to her parent but that won't hold him back from annoying the youngest, of course.
"Fine, I'll be back in a sec, alright?"
"Yeah, yeah."
"Don't touch the bone!"
"No promises!"
