After staying up all night because of trouble sleeping due to being overshadowed by the problems that befell Anna and Devan, Leo was finally able to only get about two hours of sleep. It can't even be said to be restful.
While on the other hand, Anna and Naila now seem to be still sleeping under the blanket. Yes, at this time the girl chose to accompany Anna in the room with Dave.
The air conditioner that Naila deliberately turned off before going to bed now made the air temperature in the room slowly rise as the seconds passed. Anyone can see the sweat running down Dave's and Naila's forehead.
Her fever had gone down since a few hours ago, but her body still felt cold and chilled occasionally.
Until a vibration on the table right in front of Naila woke the girl, the vibration came from her cellphone and managed to make her blink her eyes, slowly but surely she grabbed the flat-shaped object, saw the contact name listed on the screen, immediately Naila got up from position, sitting back on the sofa with her hair still very messy.
"Hello," Naila answered when she picked up Leo's phone, her voice still a little hoarse. Typical hoarseness of waking up.
"Good morning, dear."
"Morning."
"You just woke up?" Leo asked.
"Erm just now. What's the matter with calling me so early?" asked Naila, yawning occasionally.
"No, Suddenly I miss you, I just want to hear your voice honey."
Naila's brow furrowed, since meeting the man, this is the first time Leo has behaved like this. "What's wrong? Is the problem getting more complicated?"
"Have you spoken to Devan?" the girl asked again.
Leo didn't answer Naila's question right away, the man was just silent, until a few minutes later he spoke, "No, not yet. I haven't seen him since yesterday."
"But don't worry, I already have a plan. I assure you that today Devan and Byanca's wedding will disappear from the family agenda.
"You sound so sure."
"Of course. I won't do everything with my bare hands. I know how my family is, therefore, I will protect Anna and my nephew as well. I don't want them to be separated from someone who loves them."
"Did Devan know your plan?"
"I told you that I haven't seen him since yesterday, he's not in the office, nor at home, not only that, his contact is also unreachable," Leo replied from the other side, also a rough sigh escaped his lips.
"Hmm, okay, I don't know what you want to do, but whatever it is, I will support you, and try to trust you, hopefully, everything will be easy for you, Leo," said Naila.
"Thank you, darling."
"Ah yes, I almost forgot. How is Anna? Dave never cries, does he?"
"Anna's condition has started to improve, her fever has gone down. Maybe soon she will be back to normal as usual," replied Naila.
"As for Dave, he's smart and obedient, he's not as whiny as you think," she added.
"Hmm, good."
"You didn't ask me how I was?" asked Naila.
Leo chuckled "I can talk to you, that means you're fine honey. I didn't have to ask to know how you were."
Hearing that, Naila just snorted.
"Okay, I'll hang up the phone first, honey. I'll call you later," said Leo.
"Okay."
And after the connection was disconnected, putting the phone back on the table, Naila slowly got up from her position, walked to the bed, and checked Anna's condition.
Checking her temperature, Naila immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Anna's body temperature has returned to normal.
"Thank God," said Naila.
Her hearing senses caught someone's voice, Anna slowly opened her eyes, blinking for a moment to adjust to the light that entered her retina.
"Naila," Anna muttered, her voice sounding very hoarse, the woman then turned to the side and found Dave still asleep next to her.
"Are you awake?" Naila asked.
"We decided to stay with you last night, I was afraid that your temperature might rise again, or something untoward happened," she added and sat on the edge of the bed.
Hearing that, Anna smiled, "Thank you for your concern, Naila."
"We are friends. So, no need to thank you like that. I'm sure, if I were in your position right now, you would also do the same with me," replied Naila with a smile.
"How are you feeling right now?" asked Naila again.
Anna didn't answer right away, because right now she didn't know what she was feeling.
"I'm thirsty," Anna muttered, her voice very small, but still able to reach Naila's ears.
"Okay wait a minute. I'll get you a drink," Naila said then got up from her position. The bottle of water she had provided yesterday next to Anna had run out, and she didn't fill it again before going to bed.
Anna just nodded faintly, "Thank you," she said. Her eyes never left Naila even when the girl had disappeared behind the door.
Is this what it feels like to have a friend?
Slowly Anna got up, carrying her body against the bed. Trying to catch her breath, her head still felt a little heavy.
The memories of all the events that happened to her yesterday now replayed in her head like a broken record.
Reaching for her cell phone which was lying on the nightstand right next to her, Anna tried to open the message and check the call history which only came from the same person.
This is the first time Anna checks her cellphone again after seeing a photo of Devan with Byanca.
Anna sighed, the missed calls and messages on her cellphone were only on the morning of yesterday. After that it was gone, Devan never contacted her again until now.
'Maybe he's busy with his future wife and child,' thought Anna, the woman then turned to the side, looking at Dave with a sad look.
'I'm sorry, honey.'
"What are you thinking? Why are you so serious?"
Anna immediately raised her eyes and found Naila walking towards her, she didn't realize, since when did the girl open the door to her room?
"Drink it, I also brought breakfast for you," said Naila. Yes, she did ask the maids to make breakfast early, so that if Anna woke up, the woman could immediately fill her stomach with food without having to wait anymore.
"Okay, thank you again Naila," said Anna.
Hearing that woman keep saying the same thing since earlier, Naila felt embarrassed.. even though she had told Anna to stop thanking her, but she just kept on doing it.
