Two days have gone by so quickly. And during that time Devan never came home, nor did he answer the phone call from his mother.

Today Leo was able to get out of the hospital, even though the doctor still wouldn't allow it, the man still chuckled.

He prefers to go out with the Atmadja family's doctor. Because his condition was still not recovering, Grandma did not allow her grandson to return to his apartment but asked him to stay at the main house until he was completely recovered.

And here Leo was, leaning on the bed in his room in the Atmadja main family residence.

It's been two days, he hasn't received any news from his cousin. Where, and what is he doing now. Even though he had tried to contact her many times using her new cell phone, but had been ignored.

Knock... knock... knock...

A knock on the door managed to break Leo's focus, at the same time, Mrs. Serly appeared from behind the door.

"Mama..." Leo called in a small voice.

"Hmm, how are you? Have you eaten?" asked the middle-aged woman again while looking for the tray of food she had brought especially for Leo a moment ago?

"Yeah, don't worry," Leo replied with a smile.

"Good, do you need anything? Tell me," asked Serly.

The one he spoke to just shook his head slowly.

"Don't sit too long, or you'll feel dizzy again."

"It's okay Ma. I'm tired of lying down," Leo replied. Even now, occasionally he still feels dizzy, it's just that he endured it because his body was very tired if he kept lying down.

Yes, his body was not seriously injured, it's just that during the accident, his head hit hard and he was bleeding, making him in critical condition, and had to be operated on immediately.

Hearing her son's narrative, Serly took a deep breath.

"Dr. Bobby is home. He'll be back tomorrow to check on you," she said quietly as she cleared the plate and glass that lay right next to Leo.

Leo only responded with a nod.

"Ah yes, have you heard from Devan?" asked the middle-aged woman again.

"No mom. He never even answered my calls or replied to my messages," Leo replied.

"Maybe he's busy in his office, Mom," he added. Yet what he said was very different from what was in his mind.

"Whereas today he should have come and accompanied Byanca to choose the wedding dress they will wear later," she mumbled, but her words still sounded very clear to Leo's ears.

The reflex of his brow furrowed, 'Has Devan not called off the wedding yet?' he thought.

"Where are the others Ma?" Leo asked.

"In the living room," answered Serly.

"Is Byanca coming too, Ma?" the man asked again.

"Um," Sally nodded.

"Why? You want to meet her?" asked the middle-aged woman again.

"No, Mom. I was just asking."

"Erm, Leo. May I ask you something?" asked Serly suddenly turning to her son and looking at him seriously.

"What's that?"

"You know a woman named Anna?" asked Serly.

"Anna? How do you know that woman?" Leo's brow furrowed.

"You know her?" Serly repeated her question.

"Yes Ma, she is one of my friends."

"Does she have a special relationship with Devan?"

"Why do you ask like that? You haven't answered my question before," instead of answering, Leo asked back.

"Which is your question?"

"Where do you know that woman?" Leo asked.

"Um, I don't know her. More like just heard her name."

"Ha? From who?"

"Devan."

Leo fell silent for a moment and didn't respond.

"How long have you known her, Leo?" Serly asked when she got no response from her son.

"It seems like Mama has an interest in that woman?" Leo asked, ignoring his mother's question.

"Never mind, if you don't want to answer. Forget it."

"Get some rest. Don't move too much. Call me if you need anything," she added again starting to get up from her position.

"Okay, Mom."

Serly nodded and left Leo's room with both hands holding a tray of plates and glasses.

While on the other hand, Grandma and the others became worried about Devan, because there was no news from the man until now.

The extended family had already informed Byanca about her wedding schedule which would be rushed. And of course, it made the woman cheer in her heart. Although he doesn't know why the family changed the schedule.

Yes, it's true. Grandma and the others act as if they know nothing about Byanca's pregnancy. They continued to act as usual, and never discussed it.

"Honey, have you contacted Devan?" Seira asked approaching Byanca, landing her body right next to the woman.

"Yes Ma, but ignored," replied Byanca.

"That child has gone too far. If it's just me that he ignores it won't be a problem, but you will soon become his wife are also treated the same, Has the boy's brain been damaged? Even though today I want to ask her to accompany you in choosing a wedding dress," Seira grumbled, but the next second she immediately put on a smiling face, rubbed Byanca's shoulder slowly, and then said again.

"Don't think too much about it, honey. Maybe he's busy finishing all the things that need to do," she added.

"Yes, Mom. It doesn't matter. I understand," replied Byanca smiled.

"Hmm, Devan is stupid and doesn't know how to treat a perfect woman like you, honey. I'm sorry, okay? One day he will surely come to his senses," said Seira.

"I just want the best for both of you, right Lana?" She added as she turned to Byanca's Mother who was also there.

"That's right. Whatever's best for both of them, I agree."

And at the same time, everyone who was gathered in the main room was smiling, looking very happy.

"Because Devan may be very busy, let me go alone, Ma. I happen to have a friend who is a designer," said Byanca.

"No, honey. You can't take care of your wedding dress alone. Devan has to accompany you. I'll try to talk to him later," Seira refused, shaking her head when she heard Byanca.

"No problem Ma. I can do it myself. Let Devan finish all his business first, I'm afraid this will only annoy him and hinder his work."

"No problem Ma. I'm fine."

"Okay, how about I just accompany you, honey," said Seira offering herself.

"If that's what you want, I can't refuse, Mom," replied Byanca with a smile.
