Anna had arrived at the house, the woman immediately lay down on the sofa in the living room.
"Naila, how is Dave? He didn't have a fever anymore, right?" Anna asked when she heard footsteps coming down the stairs.
"He is fully recovered. Now, Dave is fine," replied Naila coming closer to the woman and sitting next to Anna. Yes, Anna did ask her to act normal, although at first, she felt a little uncomfortable, gradually she got used to it, and even now she feels has new friends.
"Hmm, today must be very tiring for you," said Naila again.
Anna just sighed harshly hearing Naila's words, "Is Dave sleeping?"
Naila nodded in agreement. "Since earlier, he couldn't calm down just because he was waiting for you to come home, he even refused to enter the room until he fell asleep here, only about fifteen minutes ago I brought him in and you have come," Naila said.
Anna didn't answer, the woman was just silent, one of her arms lifted and covered her forehead, looking very tired.
"Want me a massage?" Naila offers.
"Instead of you doing that, may I ask for your help?" replied Anna.
"What is it, just say it."
"There's some ointment in my bag, can you help me apply it on my back?" said Anna.
"Sure, wait a minute, I'll take it first," replied Naila immediately reaching for the woman's bag which Anna had thrown carelessly on the table.
Anna doesn't know since when the ointment was there because when she was on her way home earlier, she asked Hendra to take her to the pharmacy first to buy some ointment that might relieve the pain in her waist, but when she open her purse to do a payment, a similar object was already in the bag. In the end, she didn't buy the ointment.
She guessed that it was Devan's doing. Putting the ointment into her bag without saying anything.
Just a few seconds later, Naila had started to do Anna's request. "How did you get injured like this?" Naila asked not stopping the movement of her hands on Anna's body which was already in a prone position.
"I fell," replied Anna curtly.
"Next time you should be more careful."
"Um," replied Anna casually.
"Just ask permission tomorrow, you need to rest for at least a day. Don't let your injury get any worse."
"Thanks for worrying about me, Naila."
"Have you eaten? I cooked some food for you and Dave."
"I've already eaten."
"Ah yes, Dave asked me to call you earlier," said Naila.
"Really? You called me?" Anna wanted to make sure her hearing because when she checked the call log on her cell phone, it was blank, and there were no messages either.
"But the one who answered it up was a man. When I heard Dave asking you, I immediately took over and ended it immediately," Naila said.
"Man?" Anna's brow furrowed faintly.
"Yeah, I asked him to tell you that I've contacted you."
Now Anna is no longer curious about how Devan found out that she already had a son.
'Looks like you guys have been talking to each other,' thought Anna.
"Hmm, forget it. Now I'm here," replied Anna after a few seconds of silence.
"Okay," said Naila, stopping her activities and immediately lowering the clothes Anna was wearing to cover her exposed skin.
"Thank you," said Anna.
"You are rest, all day taking care of Dave must be very tiring," she added.
"I'm not sleepy yet, Anna. You go first, want me to help you to the room?" Naila offered again, she knew that the pain Anna felt would make it difficult for her to climb the stairs.
"Later, I still want to be here," replied Anna then reached out to grab the tv remote that was lying on the table, but Naila immediately helped.
"Have you been working as a babysitter long?" asked Anna without taking her eyes off the TV that was already broadcasting Japanese channels.
"Just the last few months," Naila replied, for some reason, the girl's voice sounded a little different from before. Even so, Anna preferred to ignore it, thinking that maybe it was just her feelings.
"Really? Before becoming a Babysitter, where did you work?" Anna asked a little curiously.
Naila didn't answer and just kept quiet, making Anna immediately look at the girl.
"If you don't want to say it, it's okay. Forget it," Anna said again and then returned to focus on the show on tv.
Everyone had something they didn't want to talk about, Anna understood that. And it seemed, she had asked Naila a question she shouldn't have.
Naila remained silent, now the girl's head was bowed as if she was thinking about something.
Anna glanced at her, she didn't want to ask any further and said, "I'm sorry if my question is wrong."
"No, you're not wrong. I..." Naila said.
"I ran away from home," she continued again in a slightly lower voice than before.
"No need to say it if you don't want to. I'm not forcing it," replied Anna, although in her heart she was very curious about Naila's previous life.
"My dad… He set me up with someone I don't know. And I just found out right on the day of the engagement. At that time, I ran away from there and never came back until now," Naila explained.
Hearing the girl's explanation, of course, Anna felt a little pity.
"I work as a babysitter because I need money. And also hiding from my father," she added.
"I don't want to marry, not even with the richest person in the world. I still want to live freely, I don't want to be restrained."
"Doesn't being a Babysitter mean you have to follow all the rules that are given to you? So what's the difference?"
"It's true, but at least I no longer live by just following my father's wishes. I'm tired, I'm tired. That's why I decided to leave."
"And I'm sure he must be looking for me," she added.
Anna who heard that took a deep breath. "Very lucky. I even feel jealous to hear you," said Anna.
"Huh?"
"You're luckier than me," Anna replied again and it made Naila's brow furrow.
"Now, I don't even know where he is after leaving me a few years ago."
"Who is he? Your father?"
Anna nodded.
"Huh? You never tried to look for him?" Naila asked, now the girl had raised her gaze.
"No, I don't even want to do that. Why would I look for a man who doesn't care about me anymore? He left me, that means he doesn't think of me as his daughter anymore."
"Don't say that, he's still your father after all."
"No. Since he left, I don't have Father anymore."
"And you should be grateful, because your father still treats you like that, because it means he loves you," Anna added again.
"One day, you have to come back and apologize to him for leaving the house."
"Maybe, but I don't know when.. Just let me live like this, it's better than living in my father's restraints," Naila replied.
