His brow furrowed when he saw an incoming call with Naila's contact name, but after a few seconds, he put the flat-shaped object back on the table.
Moments later, Anna's phone vibrates again, and with an incoming call from the same contact. Devan was silent for a moment as if he was thinking whether he should answer the call or just keep it quiet?
"Hello..." Devan decided to answer him, who knows something important.
"Hello, Mom..." Devan immediately looked at the contact's name on the screen to see if his hearing was fine.
"Where are you now? Why haven't you come home yet?" The boy's voice was heard again.
"Hello, who is this?" asked Devan a little doubtfully.
"Hello? Where's my mom? Why didn't my mother pick up the phone?"
"Your mother? Who is your mother?" Suddenly Devan remembered everything Leo had said some time ago, along with the photo his cousin sent him.
"My mother is Anna, sir. Owner of the cell phone you're using," Dave replied.
"Dave wants to talk to Mom," he said again.
"Dave? Who's Dave?" Devan asked.
"Ah, sorry. I'll call Anna again later," suddenly a grown woman's voice took over.
"Who are you?" Devan asked.
"Dave's babysitter, Anna's son. Ah yes, tell her that I contacted her," said Naila.
Devan froze on the spot, so Anna had a child?
"Then, I turn off the phone," said Naila and after that, the call ended.
Devan was still frozen on the spot even after a few minutes the call was cut off. Until he regained consciousness, he immediately grabbed his cellphone and looked for contact there.
"Hello, sir," someone's voice came first from the other side.
"I want you to find something for me."
"Okay, sir. Please tell me."
Devan then said a few things.
"Okay, sir. All the information you need will land in your hands as soon as possible."
"I want tomorrow."
"B-but..."
"Two days, I'll give you two days," Devan interrupted immediately.
"Yes sir."
And after that, Devan ended the call.
He then went to the second floor, wanting to see Anna's condition.
The woman already had a son, it would be very selfish if he kept her here. Where is his authority as a man if he holds a woman who is already married?
But when Devan opened the door, a small movement immediately became the focus of the man. At the same time, Anna's eyes opened.
The distinctive groans of waking up could be heard filling the room. Anna had just woken up, now looked around, seemed to be trying to digest what was going on.
Instantly he gasped and immediately got up, "Awww..." she screamed while holding her waist which still felt a little sore.
She forgot that before sleeping, her waist was injured. It's just that now the pain has reduced a lot, so she can sit up even though one of her hands is still resting on the bed.
"My cell phone," were the first words that left the woman's plump lips.
"Calm yourself first," Devan's voice immediately caught her attention.
Seeing that the lights in the room were already brightly lit, Anna again asked, "What time is it?"
"Why? Worrying about your son, huh?" replied Devan stepped in and sat on the sofa in the corner of the room.
Anna froze on the spot for a moment, her brow furrowed faintly, her heart beating suddenly.
"How do I know about it, it's none of your affairs," said Devan as if he knew what the woman was thinking.
"How's your waist?"
"A little better than before," replied Anna.
"Good."
"You can go home now, I've asked Hendra to take you," he added again.
"But…"
"Go home, or should I lock you here?"
"Okay, I'm going home now," replied Anna immediately, then wanted to get off the bed. But right after she pulled off the blanket, the girl fell silent.
"My clothes?" she muttered, if she remembered correctly, before falling asleep she was still wearing a towel. How can she wear these clothes?
"You can take it off if you don't like it," said Devan when he saw the change in the woman's expression.
Anna glared sharply at Devan, making the man respond with a faint smile.
"Go home, before your husband looks for you," He didn't know what was going on in his mind that made him say those words.
"What?"
"No."
"What did you say earlier?"
"No, forget it," said Devan.
"I'm sleepy, stay away from here, I want to sleep," he added and walking towards the bed.
"Wait, hey wait a minute," said Anna immediately got down and moved away from the bed, looking a little wobbly, because her waist had not fully recovered. She wondered, what happened when she was sleeping earlier? Because not only her clothes have been replaced with new ones, but the pain in her waist has also reduced.
Anna wanted to ask more about the clothes she was wearing, but seeing Devan who had wrapped her body in a blanket made the woman discouraged. With a thought that she planted firmly in her mind that it wasn't Devan who did all that to her.
With a tired sigh, Anna slowly walked out of the room.
"Tomorrow, you have a day off. There's no need to come," Devan's voice suddenly sounded again, making Anna who had reached the door turned now.
"But tomorrow is still a workday."
"With your condition like that?"
Anna was silent not knowing how to respond.
"Take a few days off until your condition is getting better, if you are still sick, you should not come to work or you will only add to my burden," Devan added again at length.
"But my salary..."
"Your salary is safe."
"Is it okay if it's like that? I'm just scared..."
"You're not allowed to refuse," Again, Devan cut Anna's words.
"Okay, come out now. I'm going to bed. Don't forget to close the door. Ah yes, eat before you go home, there is food on the table."
"Eh?"
"If you don't want it, just throw it away," said Devan again briefly.
"O-okay. Thank you," Anna replied, and then she closed the door quietly. She walked downstairs with one hand supporting her still sore waist.
Turns out her guess was right, it was already night. Searched for her cell phone to see if someone had called her while she was asleep. But nothing, no calls or messages whatsoever.
Anna put the flat-shaped object back with a rough sigh, walked towards the kitchen which turned out to be very clean, various types of food, vegetables, and fruit also filled the dining table.
Anna ate first before going home.
The food was still warm, which meant everything in front of her had just been served.
"Did that man prepare all this?" Anna muttered while tasting one by the types of food served.
But only for a few seconds, the woman shook her head, denying everything she had just said when remembering all that had happened to her this day.
