Entered the house, very dark inside. This indicates that Byanca is asleep. Only the garden lamps that shimmered into the house through the windows provided little light.
Devan immediately entered his room, placed his cell phone on the charger that was on the small table next to his desk. He opened the shirt he was wearing and then lay down on the sofa, stretching the muscles of his body that felt a little stiff.
Devan hasn't felt sleepy at all, but his body muscles ask to be rested immediately.
"Are you asleep?" Devan muttered when he suddenly thought of Anna. The man was completely unaware of the many things that had happened to Anna and her cousin while he was visiting Australia.
To be honest, he couldn't wait to see Anna tomorrow. Yes, he promised, that after meeting Aaron with that woman, he would annul the marriage.
During the long journey, Devan was also thinking, thinking about how to keep his relationship with Anna intact so that she officially becomes his wife.
***
Orange light began to glow on the eastern horizon, Devan had just closed his eyes a moment ago and was now awakened again by the heat of the room temperature due to the sunlight that managed to escape through the window he opened before going to sleep.
He deliberately didn't turn on the AC in the room because he didn't want to.
He blinked for a moment, trying to adjust the light entering his retina.
Devan slowly rose from his position. Immediately took the cell phone.
He intended to contact Anna, to just exchange greetings, to ask how she was.
Looking at the clock in the room, it was now half-past six in the morning.
It's still too early to contact Anna.
Right after the phone screen turned on again. Devan froze on the spot when he read Naila's message. He had saved the girl's contact just in case he couldn't reach Anna.
"Leo had an accident?" Devan muttered subconsciously as he read the contents of the text message from Naila.
Without waiting long, Devan immediately contacted his mother.
"Hello, Mom."
"What's with the call this early, Devan?" asked Mrs. Seira.
"Where's Aunt Serly?" he asked.
"In her room, maybe she is still sleeping," Mrs. Seira replied.
"Mom, Leo was in an accident."
"What?"
"Leo had an accident yesterday, Mom. And is currently being treated at hospital x," said Devan again.
"Why are you only calling me now?"
"I just found out too, Ma."
"So how are things now?"
"I don't know, Mom. I'm just getting ready now."
"Please tell Aunt Serly, Ma," added Devan again.
"Even if you don't ask me to tell her, I'll still tell him. That's it, then also I want to get ready."
"Okay, Mom."
And after the last call, Devan immediately got ready. But before that, he contacted Aaron first.
He told the man that maybe he couldn't take him today because he had to go to the hospital. Yes, Devan plans to postpone Aaron's meeting with Anna.
Only, the man of mulatto Australian and French couldn't wait any longer and asked for the address where Anna lived.
In the end, Devan had no other choice but to tell him. Because if he refuses, the impression he seems to resemble someone who intends to hide the woman's whereabouts.
"Okay, thanks for the help Mr. Devan," Aaron said on the other end of the phone.
"I'll follow when I have time," replied Devan.
"OK."
And after that, their phone line was disconnected.
***
The sun was shining brightly, the scent of morning dew was still occasionally carried by the wind.
Devan drove his car to the hospital where Leo was.
"Hello, Clarissa," Devan called his secretary along the way.
"Move all my schedule for today to another day," he said again.
"And if there's a file that needs my signature, send it to my email," he added.
"Okay, sir," Clarissa answered from the other end of the phone.
The man then disconnected unilaterally and returned his focus to the steering wheel. His eyes never left the road he was going through.
Currently, the condition of the road is getting crowded. Pollution and noise began to spread to fill along the highway.
It only took about twenty minutes, Devan entered the hospital baseman who was his destination.
With quick steps, Devan entered the lift and pressed the button for the floor where Leo was.
"How is it Doc?" asked Devan just as he met a Doctor who had just left Leo's room.
"Mr. Devan?" apparently the Doctor recognized the man.
"Mr. Devan, are you patient's family in this room?" he asked again.
"He's my cousin Doc."
"Oh, I just found out. I'm sorry," said the Doctor very friendly and polite.
"Your cousin had surgery yesterday afternoon, and he's still unconscious. Maybe he'll wake up soon, sir."
Devan just nodded.
"Then I'll excuse myself, sir."
"Okay."
Not waiting for the Doctor to disappear from his sight, Devan immediately turned the doorknob and opened it slowly.
And the first thing he saw was a man with his head wrapped in bandages, not only his head but his arms as well. One of his legs was in a cast.
With just a glance, anyone could already guess that Leo was seriously injured.
Shortly after Devan's arrival, Serly and Mrs. Seira, and other families also came. Even Grandma and Byanca's parents also joined.
"You've been here ever since?" Asked Mrs. Seira to her son, at this time they were in the room, precisely in the waiting chairs that were deliberately lined up there.
"I just arrived, Ma," the man replied without raising his eyes.
"Where's Byanca? She's not coming?" asked the middle-aged woman again when she couldn't find the woman she was looking for.
"As you can see," Devan replied simply.
"I call you, but your number is always out of reach. Where are you Devan?" asked Mrs. Seira.
"Mom, better you ask me later. This is a hospital."
"What's wrong? You think I am making a fuss?"
Devan did not respond to Mrs. Seira's words again, the man was just silent while playing with his cellphone.
Devan is still in his place. The man was reluctant to leave the hospital before seeing Leo regain his senses.
Not getting any response from Devan, Mrs. Seira just sighed harshly, as if she was used to her son's indifferent attitude towards her.
Since her return from Anna's house, until now, Mrs. Seira still hasn't said anything regarding her nephew's behavior towards her at Anna's house.
Several hours passed, Leo, who had been unconscious since yesterday, was now slowly showing movement in one of his fingers.
Mrs.. Serly who saw that suddenly rose from her position moved closer to her son.
