"Maybe, but I don't know its time. Just let me live like this, it's better than living in my father's restraints," replied Naila.
"That's up to you," replied Anna.
"Erm, at least it's better now than before. Likewise with you, even though your father is gone, you are already one of the luckiest women, Anna. Not all women can have husbands like Mr. Nicho, he is very attentive to you and Dave, not only that, he also fulfills all your wishes, even letting you work," Naila said at length, accompanied by a faint smile.
"Nicho is not my husband," Anna replied curtly.
"What?"
"Nor is anyone, just a friend."
"But…"
"I know what's in your head, but one thing you should know, that Nicho and I do not have any relationship. We are just strangers who accidentally met and ended up in this house," explained Anna.
"So Dave?"
"He's not Nicho's son."
Naila was silent for a moment, not knowing what to say. Because all her previous thoughts were wrong.
"Next time, I'll tell you, Naila. I don't want to talk about this time."
"If you have something to say or need something, just tell me. Who knows I might be able to help you."
"Emm, the same applies to you. So far I don't have any friends. Knowing you is another luck in my life," said Anna smiling
"Ah, don't overdo it. But for treating me like that, thank you," replied Naila, returning Anna's smile.
And after that, they both focus on tv shows. There is no further discussion between the two.
"You like Japan?" Naila asked breaking the silence. Not without reason, she asked like that, because every time she saw Anna turn on the tv, everything contained the impressions of the land of sakura. Was it early in the morning when the woman was having breakfast, or after work like this time?
Anna smiled in response to Naila's question.
"I've been there when I was little," said Naila again.
"Is that true?" Instantly Anna rose from her position, but the next second she winced again because of the injury to her waist.
"Seeing your response, it seems you like that country," Naila said with a small chuckle.
Anna just rubbed her waist with a smile still etched on her lips.
"I like it since I was little I have dreamed of going there," replied Anna.
"However it seems that is a very impossible thing. I can't even afford to have goods from that country, let alone visit there," she added.
"Why not try telling Nicho? Seeing the way he treats you, it's not impossible if he will make your dream come true," replied Naila.
"No. Just giving me a ride with Dave in this house is more than enough for me, Naila. I don't want to ask for anything else."
Hearing Anna's answer, indirectly gave Naila another knowledge that the woman was just a ride in this house.
"Besides, it will feel different, if you achieve your dreams with your efforts than with the help of others. Isn't that right?"
"Yes, you're right," replied Naila.
"So what do you like about Japan?" she asked again.
"Everything," Anna replied immediately.
"So you're good at Japanese?"
"I only know a few words, but if I want to speak in that kind of language, I can't."
"Want me to teach you?" offered Naila.
"Huh? Did you know?"
Naila laughed crisply, "Never mind Japanese, English, French, German, if you want, I can teach you," replied Naila again.
Anna choked, suddenly at a loss for words.
"How can a Babysitter like me have that much ability. Maybe that kind of question is stuck in your head right now, right?" Naila guessed.
"The answer is, it's all because of my father's wishes. Since childhood I have been asked to do this and that, to obey all his wishes, even he arrange the man who will become my husband," Naila explained.
Anna was still silent, she already had a previous thought that Naila didn't seem as simple as she seemed.
Just by looking at Naila's appearance since she first came to this house. As if the girl wasn't someone who needed a job, but more like a spoiled child who was raised in a respectable family.
At first, she wanted to protest to Nicho seeing Babysitter Dave who is still very young, Anna doubts Naila's ability to raise children, especially with Dave who has different developments from his supposed age. It's just that, she recalled how she had lived all this time before meeting Nicho, she finally accepted the girl.
"You seem to come from a wealthy family," replied Anna.
Naila just smiled, "All of that is useless if it can't give me happiness," said Naila.
"But at least your life can be better than working as a babysitter," said Anna.
"Who says it? Since working in this house I feel very calm and freer than living in that house. Moreover, raising a child who has extraordinary intelligence, as well as a very kind mother to me. If possible, I want to stay in this house with you guys," said Naila, smiling again.
"You're overreacting again," Anna replied, laying back on the sofa.
"I'm telling the truth, Anna. I have never received treatment from my employer like how you treat me, you even think of me as a friend and that makes me very comfortable," Naila said at length, even though she's only been in this house for a few days, but it feels more comfortable than all the best places she had been in the world.
"Stop praising, no one will know what the future holds, Naila."
"What you said is true," Naila nodded.
Indeed, no one knows the future, but doesn't Anna's attitude and what she's doing now reflect what her future will look like? Every good thing that Anna does, will get a recompense, whether it's from herself, or someone else, and Naila firmly believes in that.
"On holidays, if you want to learn Japanese. I'm ready to help you," said Naila again.
"Are you serious about teaching me?" Anna asked.
"Since when did I say just pretend?"
"No, I mean teaching me might bore you. Also, I don't have the money to pay you. I won't ask you to do things that have nothing to do with your job," Anna replied.
"There's no need to do that. I'll gladly do it, Anna. Think of it as a reward for treating me so well.
"Does that mean you're going to teach me for free?"
Naila nodded.
"But…"
"All you need is some free time, Anna. I will teach you while taking care of Dave," said Naila cutting Anna's word.
"O-okay. I want to.. thank you in advance," Anna stuttered, maybe because she was too happy, she never expected to get a golden opportunity like this, there was nothing else she could give Naila except thank you.
