"Where are you going?" Seira asked as she turned and saw Byanca following behind her.
"Go to the hotel with you, Mom," Byanca replied.
Immediately Seira turned around completely, "I will go home alone, you stay here," she said.
"What?" reflex Byanca blushed shyly, glancing at Devan.
"Why?"
"N-no need Mom. Maybe next time," Byanca replied.
"You two are getting married soon, I understands you must have a lot of things you want to talk about, especially after being apart for a long time, right, Devan?"
"But, Devan wants to..."
"Why? If you guys have a problem, solve it tonight. Don't think Mommy doesn't know that you are just pretending in front of me," said Seira again cutting Devan's words.
For a moment Devan was silent, and that made Seira smile, "Instead of renting a hotel, you can stay here for a while, honey," she said to Byanca.
"Mom..."
"I am joking. Then I go first," cut Seira again, then said goodbye.
Out of the door of the house, Hendra was already standing there. The man had been wanting to enter, but hesitated, afraid that his arrival might disrupt the family reunion. Yes, Hendra has been Devan's driver for a long time, no wonder he can recognize some members of Atmadja's extended family.
"Hendra, take my mother to the hotel," said Devan.
"Okay, sir," replied Hendra, walking closer, in one hand was a small tote bag.
"What's that?" Asked Mrs. Seira while pointing at Hendra's hand.
"Mr. Devan asked me to buy something for him, madam," replied Hendra.
"Oh."
Without reducing his politeness, Hendra handed the small tote bag to Devan.
Seeing the object in his hand, Devan remembered his request to the middle-aged man this afternoon. It was medicine for Anna.
While on the other hand, Byanca and Leo who saw Hendra's gift to Devan did not feel the slightest curiosity, thinking that the contents of the tote bag might be something the man needed.
"Then I'll say goodbye, sir."
"Em careful," Leo replied to Hendra's words while Devan just nodded. Waiting for that car to disappear from their sight, Devan immediately let go of Byanca's hand that was embracing his arm and then turned around, making the woman's face frown, while Leo didn't care about it, the two of them then followed Devan from behind.
It was just that Devan, who had only walked a few meters, suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"Where are you going?" he asked when he saw Anna standing in the living room with her bag hanging from her shoulder.
"I-I want to say goodbye, sir," Anna stammered, her eyes lowered for a moment.
Instantly the tote bag that was in Devan's hand landed on Anna's body.
Luckily Anna had good reflexes, so she could immediately catch it.
"For you," said Devan then resumed his step.
"Huh?" Anna is confused.
"Whatever, take it or throw it away, I don't need it," Devan replied without turning his head.
"Honey, wait," shouted Byanca running after Devan.
Anna who heard that was frozen on the spot, trying to digest the meaning of Devan's words.
"I'll take you now," Leo approached Anna, shifting her focus.
"Thank you, sir," replied Anna, bowing slightly.
They then left the living room, but Anna, who had just taken a few steps, was stopped by Devan's voice.
"You still come to work tomorrow," said the man who was already on the second floor and then walked away without waiting for Anna's response.
"W-well, sir," Anna had to comply, not because she didn't want to protest, but because she wasn't given a chance to speak.
.
.
Entering Leo's car, Anna never made a sound, and just followed the man.
"You've been working at Devan's house for a long time?" Leo asked suddenly, breaking the silence in the car, his eyes still focused on the still busy highway.
Anna gasped in surprise, "N-not too long ago, Sir"
"How are your condition, now? You passed out this afternoon."
"It's getting better, sir. Thanks to the help of Madam and Miss Byanca."
"I'm grateful."
"I never thought I'd see you again after that time in the park," Leo said again.
Anna only responded with a clumsy smile.
"By the way where have you been all this time? After that night's party, I never saw you again," Leo asked again, glancing to the side, where Anna was.
Anna stuttered, not knowing how to answer.
"I wouldn't have known that you had a son if we didn't meet a few weeks ago," Leo said when he felt that the woman next to him was reluctant to answer his question.
"I-I didn't expect to meet you either, sir."
"Don't be shy, if you're with me, you just take it easy. I'm not the boss or someone you should respect," Leo replied then smiled.
"Ah, by the way, what's your son's name?" Leo asked again.
"Dave, sir."
"Dev?"
"Not Dev, but Dave, sir."
"Just call me Leo."
"B-but you are Mr. Devan's family, so I should respect you too."
Leo sighed harshly, "Hmm, fine. Just be as comfortable as you are. I won't force you."
"Thank you, sir."
"Um, may I ask another question?" Leo asked.
"Yes."
"Has Devan ever kissed you?"
"What?"
"A-ah, I-I'm sorry," she said later because she had unconsciously raised her voice in front of the man.
Leo laughed at Anna's response.
"Forgive my rudeness."
"Okay, okay, I'm tired of hearing you apologize all the time," Leo replied with his lips pressed together, seemingly holding back laughter.
"Was my question disturb you?"
"N-no, sir."
"So did Devan ever do it?"
"I and Mr. Devan don't have any relation, sir. So on what basis did Mr. Devan do it? We are only subordinates and superiors"
"Err… I mean not now, but five years ago," Leo replied.
"My answer is still the same, sir. Only those who have feelings of love for each other may be able to do it, while I and Mr. Devan at that time were just strangers who accidentally met," said Anna.
"Is that so?"
"Only they have feelings for each other, huh, you say?" Leo asked again.
"That's right, sir."
"Tsk, how naive. So how about I kiss you now?"
"WHAT?" Anna unconsciously raised her voice again, along with both hands suddenly raised to cover her chest.
"I am joking. There's no need to panic like that," Leo laughed again. He never knew that teasing Anna could be this fun.
Anna lowered her hand, feeling a little embarrassed.
"You go to work every day with your husband?" Leo asked changing the subject.
"I took the bus, sir."
"Is that true? Where is your husband? Why can't he just drop you off?" Leo asked again.
'WHO HAS A HUSBAND? I'M NOT MARRIED, STOP SAYING THE SAME THINGS CONTINUOUSLY,' Anna wanted to shout those words to Leo, she was so tired of hearing other people say that she was already married.
