The one she was talking to turned and looked at her without blinking. "Don't apologize. You're completely innocent," Anna said quietly, her voice small and very soft.
"I already knew, a day like this would come and befall me," Anna added still with a smile on her lips.
Naila saw that for some reason, her heart was sliced. She knew Anna's smile was only fake, she was very sure that right now Anna was very hurt.
"If you want to cry, just cry. Don't hold it in," Naila said to the woman nearby.
The person she was talking to smiled back as if everything Naila had said was not directed at her.
She didn't know, what Anna feels right now is empty. Not sad, happy, angry, or anything like that. Everything Mrs. Seira said to her was true. She is not comparable to Byanca.
If she only has a son from Devan, now Byanca also has it. If previously she was still trying to maintain her trust with Devan, believing everything he said all this time, but now she doesn't know. She couldn't even describe what she was feeling.
She doesn't need proof anymore, she doesn't need an explanation from anyone anymore.
The photo she saw was already an explanation of her status in Devan's eyes. The man just didn't have the heart and pity for her and treat her well these past few days.
Anna knew she had been lied to.
Anna knows that her trust has been betrayed again.
But strangely now, there wasn't any emotion inside her like she had felt all night. It was as if everything had nothing to do with her.
"Now, you also rest. Your body must be very tired," said Anna touching Naila.
"Let me be here, accompany you, Anna," replied the girl.
Knock...knock...knock...
The sound of a knock on the door made Naila and Anna instantly turn around.
"Let me open the door," Naila said then got up from her position, walking towards the door.
"Leo, I thought you were home," Naila said when she found a man right after opening the door.
"No, I wanted to take my Aunt to the home but she refused," Leo replied with a shaky breath.
"I'm sorry," she said to Naila again.
"You're innocent, why are you apologizing?"
"My aunt accused you," Leo said.
"How is Anna? Her condition isn't getting any worse, is it?" Leo asked again, his voice sounding very worried.
"Come in, and see for yourself," Naila replied then turned around to enter the room, followed by Leo from behind.
"You didn't take Mrs. Seira home?" Anna asked before, Leo who was asked such a question, immediately lowered his gaze, he completely lost face and felt as if it was inappropriate to look at the face of the woman in front of him. He was very, very ashamed.
Right after Leo got to Anna's side, the man suddenly dropped to his knees, kneeling on the floor with his head down.
"I apologize on behalf of my Aunt and cousin, Anna," Leo pleaded.
Cough...Cough…
Anna was surprised, even choking on her saliva when she was suddenly treated like that.
Of course, the woman would not remain silent. And immediately rose from sleep with great difficulty.
"What are you doing?"
."Get up, you don't deserve to do this to me, Leo. Get up," said Anna.
While here, Naila just stood there watching everything that was happening in front of her, because she didn't know how to respond to Leo's sudden action. Even she was surprised.
"No, Anna. although I know what the humiliation you received from my Aunt, I also know that an apology is not enough, I will not force you to forgive them because what my Aunt did was truly outrageous. Even so, I still want to apologize for everything."
Hearing the man's words, Anna was stunned on the spot, not showing any expression, just silent. Making it difficult for Naila to guess what the woman's thoughts were.
"Then let it go, now you're awake. You don't deserve to kneel before someone like me, Leo," Anna said after a few seconds of silence.
"It's all happened, and there's no point in bringing it up again," she added.
An answer that was far from Naila and Leo's expectations. Previously, he thought that Anna would slap him, hit him, or scream hysterically after all that had happened to her today, but he had all guessed wrong.
Anna is very calm for someone who has received such insults, even Naila also feels a little strange. It was as if the Anna she had known all along, was not the Anna in front of her right now.
"Get up, the floor is cold," said Anna again.
Leo suddenly became clumsy, "O-oh, alright."
"I want to rest. You guys come out," she added and lay back down again, pulling the blanket over her entire body.
Naila and Leo looked at each other again.
The girl then nodded, pulling Leo out of there.
"Call me if you need anything, Anna," Naila said before closing the bedroom door.
"What happened to her?"
"Does she hate me too?" Leo muttered right after leaving the room.
"Not. Anna is not like that," replied Naila shaking her head, the girl then leaned her body against the wall with her arms crossed over her chest.
"Then? Why do you respond like that to me? I don't want my niece's mother to hate me, Naila."
"Don't talk carelessly. Maybe Anna needs time to regulate her feelings at this time," replied Naila.
"Hopefully so."
And after that, silence. Nothing was heard, both of them were busy with their thoughts.
"After Anna recovers, I want to take her away," Naila said after a few seconds of silence.
Hearing that, Leo immediately turned to the source of the voice.
"No, I mean not just yet. Let me go to Devan and make things clear," Leo said because he was so sure that his cousin loved Anna, not Byanca. He wondered what other devious things Byanca had done so that his Aunt could be so sure that Byanca was pregnant with Devan's child. Devan had no interest in the cunning woman. If only he had more accurate evidence.
"Explanation? What else do you want to explain to her, Leo? Didn't everything your Aunt said just now makes things clear, not to mention the indecent photo I showed you earlier, isn't that enough?"
"Trust me, honey. I will bring Devan back to Anna."
"I know my cousin more than anyone. Trust me, okay?"
