While on the other hand, Anna was lost in her thoughts again. I don't know what fate will play with her life. It was all so sad and sad at the same time.
Yes, except for her biological son.
Remained in that position for several tens of minutes, Anna did not move from her position, nor did she speak again.
Until a few moments had passed, Carlos glanced at the clock that was perfectly wrapped around his wrist, it turned out that time had passed for approximately two hours, and during that time Mrs. Anna did not make the slightest movement.
"Madam..." Carlos called.
Getting no response, she did the same thing again, "Madam..."
Carlos slowly entered the gazebo with a slow step, "Madam… you can't sleep here," Carlos said again, his voice a little higher than before, but the same. Anna remained in her position not giving any response.
Seeing that, Carlos took a deep breath then took off his outer clothes leaving only a white shirt on his body. After that, he wrapped Anna's body right where he might touch.
Slowly, Carlos lifted and carried the woman's tiny body, wanting to take her inside.
"What happened?" Elena who had just gotten out of the elevator was suddenly surprised by the appearance of Carlos who was carrying Mrs. Anna.
"Shhh…." Carlos whispered, "Keep your voice down. She asleep in the garden gazebo."
"I'll take her back to the room," he added.
Elena just nodded, not making a sound.
"Tell some maids to clean up the gazebo where the Madam was relaxing," said Carlos before the elevator doors closed.
"Okay," Elena replied, nodding her head.
***
A small movement that came from the boy who was on her lap distracts Naila, currently, she is still in the car of the man whose name is Leo, to be precise in the basement of a shopping center that might not be too big.
Naila didn't know what the man would do in a place like this. Leo just asked her to wait in the car and not have to follow him.
"Auntie, where is this?" A hoarse voice typical of waking up sounded from between Dave's lips, the boy seemed to be rubbing his eyes while scanning his surroundings and only saw cars lined up neatly as far as his eyes could see.
"We're in Uncle Leo's car, honey. Your mother's friend," Naila answered honestly.
"My mother's friend?" Dave asked, looking up.
Naila nodded in agreement.
"Then where is he, Auntie? Why are there just the two of us here," Dave asked again.
"He's doing something somewhere, honey. We'll just have to wait, okay? It's safer here than outside," said Naila.
"Um, okay, Auntie," Dave replied, nodding.
"Aunt, I am thirsty."
"Ah, yes, wait a minute," said Naila, then tried to get bottled water that was on the dashboard.
"Here, have a drink," the girl said again after opening the bottle cap and handing it to Dave.
"Thank you, Auntie."
Naila only responded with a smile, her gaze accidentally met the clock listed on the car, it had already been several hours. Checking her cellphone, it turns out that there is no notification from Anna.
She was feeling restless again because Anna had told her that she would give news once every two hours. How come she hasn't contacted her yet?
A rough sigh escaped from between Naila's lips, her focus was only on the last text message Anna had sent her without realizing that Leo was back in the car.
"What are you thinking?"
Hearing a man's voice, Naila put her cellphone back in her bag, "Ah, nothing, I just read a message from my friend," Naila replied.
"Oh," Leo put some paper bags in the back seat and started the car. "Are you waiting for me for a long time?"
"No, just a few hours," Naila replied casually.
Leo laughed hearing that "I bought clothes for my wife and child at home," said Leo, starting to turn the wheel.
"I didn't ask you."
"I'm just saying it," Leo said again.
To be honest, Leo felt a little weird. He and Naila had only met a few hours ago, and no one know how long they had been this close, even though it usually took him a long time to get to know someone, especially if it was a woman. But with Naila, he felt weird and funny at the same time. Maybe because the girl he was with was also a sociable person? Yes, it is possible.
"Dave are you awake?" Leo spoke again and glanced briefly at the little boy who was on Naila's lap.
Who was spoken to did not answer and just looked at the man with a questioning look?
"Dave..." Naila called when there was no response from the boy.
"Auntie, my mom said to me that I can't serve strangers," said Dave as he looked up.
"That Uncle Leo is your mother's friend, honey."
"He is my mother's friend, Auntie. But he is not my friend," Dave replied and managed to make Naila speechless as if she had run out of words. How could such a sentence appear?
While Leo who heard the boy's words laughed again, "Okay little boy, so will you be my friend?"
"Friend? How? I don't know your name, Uncle."
"L.E.O."
"I'm Leo," the man said after spelling his name.
"Now we're friends, right?" he added again.
"D.A.V.E." The boy followed Leo's way of speaking and even his pronunciation.
"Dave, that's rude, honey," Naila scolded.
"I just want to get to know my new friend, Auntie. So far I have no friends other than Aunt and Uncle Nicho," Dave replied.
"No problem, don't scold him," Leo said turning to Dave with a smile on his lips.
"Okay, I am sorry, Uncle," said the boy facing Leo.
"Don't be so serious, Dave. Between friends, there can be no apologies, okay?" Leo said.
"Really? Then how about if one hurts the other, Uncle?"
Hearing that, Leo immediately had the same feeling that Naila felt a moment ago. Judging from his age, such a question shouldn't arise from a child of Dave's age.
As if understanding what Leo was feeling, Naila smiled, "Next time, don't say those words again. Anna's son is not as simple as it seems. He's smarter and than you might expect," Naila explained making Leo turn and glance at her.
"Is that true?"
"Do you believe that this child is quite fluent in several languages?" instead of answering, Naila asked back.
"Eh?" Leo's expression was as if he couldn't believe what Naila said.
"What is your name?" Leo asked turning to Dave (English Language).
"Why do you want to know my name, Uncle? Even though I already mentioned it earlier," Dave replied, and instantly Leo was stunned.. (English Language).
