"Okay, you can go out now. I want to be alone," said Aaron.
"Okay, sir," Aaron replied and then left the room.
While on the other hand, Devan and Claire were sitting talking on the sofa which was right in front of the balcony of the woman's room.
After checking his son's room earlier, Devan towards Claire's room. What initially just wanted to check now ended up sitting together with the woman.
Not without reason, because earlier when Devan opened the door to Claire's room slowly, the woman also seemed to be doing the same thing.
"Since when did you get to Australia?" asked Claire, the evening breeze blowing lightly from the window she had left half-open caressing her smooth skin, giving her a refreshing sensation.
"Yesterday, I was able to catch up with you because the flight just became available," Devan replied.
Hearing that, Claire nodded faintly.
"Does your family know you're here?" the woman asked again.
"Only Leo, the others, I don't know if they know it or not," Devan replied.
"Why, dear?"
Hearing Leo's name being mentioned, Claire suddenly remembered the events of that day.
"How is Leo now? Is he okay?"
"He's out of the hospital," Devan replied.
"Eh? That fast? I thought he had surgery that day?" asked Claire a little surprised, because, for someone who has undergone surgery, Leo is someone who recovers quickly.
"That's his wish, he chose to be treated at home, even though the doctor has not allowed him to go home," Devan replied as if he knew the thoughts of the woman next to him.
"Ah yes, where is Naila? I received a message from her, she resigned to be Baby sitter Dave," he added.
"She returned to her family."
"Really? I wanted to give her a present for helping you take care of Dave."
Hearing that, Claire smiled.
"So when are you planning to return to Indonesia?" she asked, glancing at the man sitting beside her. Their distance is only limited by a chair cushion.
"Have you kicked me home yet?"
"No, it's not like that," Claire replied immediately.
"You're worried about the wedding plans?" guess Devan.
Claire didn't reply, instead, she turned her gaze to another direction as if avoiding Devan's gaze on her.
Seeing Claire's response, Devan chuckled.
"Don't worry about me. Just trust me, honey. It's been enough for me to face my own family," said Devan.
Claire didn't respond and just stayed where she was. Even though the response was like that, to be honest, the woman is now filled with feelings of happiness.
And after that, there was only silence, No more words could be heard from them. Everyone is busy with their thoughts.
Staying in that position for a long time, they were completely unaware of the presence of Aaron who had been standing by the door. The door to the room that was slightly ajar allowed him to hear all the conversations between the two people, although it was faint it was clear enough for his senses of hearing.
A few minutes later, after he struggled with his thoughts, he finally decided to knock on the bedroom door.
Knock...knock...knock...
"Claire, are you asleep?" shouted Aaron from outside the room.
"If not, I want to talk to you about something," he added.
Meanwhile, on the other hand, Claire and Devan, who were previously silent, were suddenly taken aback. The two turned and stared at each other for a few seconds until there was another knock on the door.
"That's Uncle Aaron," Claire said frantically.
"Hurry and hide," she said again as he grabbed Devan's arm, and managed to make the man flinch and stand up.
"Let's hide, I don't want Uncle to know you're here," Claire muttered, walking in all directions at a fast pace, looking for a suitable hiding place for Devan.
While the man just smiled seeing Claire was in a state of panic.
"What are you doing, honey?"
"Don't run around like this, you might fall."
But Claire did not pay attention to the man's words in the slightest. Instead, she pulled Devan into the bathroom.
"Don't make any noise, okay?" she said and pushed the man in, not forgetting to turn off the light in the small room and then walked out and locked it tightly. Claire didn't even wait for the man's response.
"Claire, are you asleep?" Aaron's voice came from outside again.
"Not yet, Uncle. Wait a minute," Claire replied trying to normalize her expression, catching her breath.
Then slowly, she opened the door.
"Why is Uncle visiting me at this time of night?" asked Claire directly without further ado.
"May I come in?" instead of answering, Aaron said something else.
"Of course, you can, Uncle," replied Claire slightly shifting her body to the side to give the man access to enter the room.
"It's late, I thought you were asleep, but you haven't," said Aaron walking in and sitting on the sofa near the balcony. His brow furrowed when he found Devan nowhere, and the next second, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
"Leave it open, Claire. Don't lock it. I'm just a moment," he said again as he looked back.
"Ah okay, Uncle," the woman replied then followed her Uncle's words.
Until she returned to her original position, Claire didn't say anything else. The woman waited for Aaron to start the conversation.
"Do you like living here?" Aaron asked after a few minutes of silence.
"What do you mean, Uncle? I don't understand."
"I'm just asking. I'm afraid you'll feel bored in this house. You know yourself, that almost every day I go to the office," said Aaron.
"If that's all, Don't worry about me. I'm used to being alone, so it doesn't matter. Dave is there anyway, I never get bored when I'm with him."
"Good if that's the case, I'm relieved to hear that," said Aaron pretending to breathe a sigh of relief, even though he entered the room only because Devan was also inside. But knowing that his nephew was hiding the man's whereabouts left him confused and didn't know what to say.
In the end, he just asked a random question that was completely unimportant.
"Did Uncle visit me just because of this?" she asked.
Hearing the woman's question, Aaron racked his brains looking for a discussion. Suddenly he remembered something.
"Claire, today several men visited me at the office. All for the same reason.. They ask to get acquainted with you," Aaron said in a slightly higher voice.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"Okay, you can go out now. I want to be alone," said Aaron.
"Okay, sir," Aaron replied and then left the room.
