"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.
"I'd rather take the bus, sir," answered Anna when suddenly remembering Nicho's words in the park when they met Leo a few weeks ago, because not wanting to spoil Nicho's image, Anna chose not to protest. After all, nothing changes if she tells the truth, right?
"You've been married long?" Leo asked again a little curious.
Anna was silent, why did Leo keep asking the same thing?
"Ah, I'm sorry. I think I crossed the line," said Leo again, focusing on the steering wheel.
"It's all right, sir."
"Em it's near your house, isn't it?" Leo asked again looking at the left and right side of the road, making sure that they were now at the same address as Anna had said a while ago in Devan's kitchen.
"That's right, sir."
"Then where else?"
"I'll just get off at the bus stopped out front, sir."
"Eh? You still have to take the bus again?"
"N-no. The house where I live is not far from here, sir. I just need to walk a few minutes and I'll be there," replied Anna.
"I'll walk you to the gate."
"DO NOT."
"Eee I-I mean, you don't have to do that, sir," she said again.
One of Leo's eyebrows shot up at the woman's response, "Why? Wouldn't that be better?" Leo asked in surprise.
Anna was stunned, racking her brain trying to find the right reason, she didn't want Leo to know the address of the house where she lived, she avoided meeting Dave with Devan's family, anyone, just in the park at that time, she didn't want the same thing to happen again.
Although they might not be suspicious, no one knows what the future holds, right?
According to her, it is better to avoid problems than to find solutions to solve problems.
"Would your husband be angry if you were driven home by a man?" Leo asked again trying to guess.
"YES RIGHT, SIR. MY HUSBAND WILL BE ANGRY."
"Tsk just wanted to say that, you need to think first," Leo chuckled.
"Okay."
"So where did I drop you off?" Leo asked again, not at all suspicious of Anna's behavior.
"In Bus stopped there, sir," replied Anna with a sigh of relief. The other day, when Hendra drove her home, she would always ask to be dropped off at the bus stopped on the side of the road.
Hearing that, Leo nodded then stepped on the gas towards the place Anna meant.
A Few minutes letter.
"Thank you, Mr. Leo," Anna said with a slight bow just after closing the car door again.
"Erm, be careful."
Anna just nodded, took a few steps, and then turned around, walking to the home. Meanwhile, Leo was still in his position, watching Anna from the car window, waiting for the girl to disappear from his sight.
There was no one around, only the sound of passing vehicles filled the woman's steps, the lights that lined the roadside managed to provide sufficient lighting for her to keep moving, even though it only glowed dimly.
Suddenly, her cell phone rang, making her flinch. Her brow furrowed at the sight of a contact that was so foreign to her. This was the first time she had seen the number.
Thinking that someone had called the wrong number, Anna rejected it and put it back in the bag. But when she wanted to continue her steps again, the same thing sounded again.
Anna rejected it once again, but nothing changed because the phone rang again making the woman feel uncomfortable.
"Hello," Anna decided to answer the incoming call.
No answer.
"Hello," Anna tried again.
Silence, still no answer. Hesitating, Anna looked at the screen to see if the call was disconnected or still connected.
"Hello, sorry in advance, looks like you dialed the wrong number," said Anna and then wanted to end the call.
But, her intentions were interrupted when a man's voice was heard, "Hello, honey."
Anna's brow furrowed, "Who is this?" she asked.
"Nicho?" she guessed.
Just as she finished pronouncing the man's name, a black car suddenly stopped right next to her.
And after that, a man immediately came out of there with a cell phone still in her ear. Seeing who the figure had just appeared was, Anna's reflexes stiffened.
"Hello, Anna."
"Long time no see," the man said as he stepped closer to Anna, their calls still connected.
"You don't miss me?" added the man again immediately hugged Anna's body.
"B-Brian..."
"Yes, it's me, honey. I finally found you after all these years," replied the man still hugging Anna's tiny body. For a moment the woman looked dazed.
Leo who saw the scene from his car window just sighed deeply, "Whereas her husband looks classy, why is she bothering to work again? As a janitor too," Leo muttered, then started the engine, wanting to leave the place thinking that Anna had already met her husband.
Because with that woman's innocence, who else can hug her except her husband?
However, when he was ready to hit the gas, Leo suddenly turned off the engine. Approaching the window to make sure what he saw was not wrong, let's say that he is currently lacking work because he is curious about other people's household problems.
Anna pushed Brian away and tried to run. But failing, the man pulled back her hand and gripped it tightly.
"You can't run away now, honey," Brian chuckled.
"After ending the connection unilaterally, you hid from me?" he added again.
Anna didn't respond, only winced in pain.
"Let go of Brian. Shhh….this hurts."
"I want you to come with me," Brian said again starting to pull Anna's arm very roughly.
"No, no. I refuse," Anna tried to struggle.
"Let go of me Brian, you can't do this to me," Anna said, slapping the man's strong arm.
"You're not allowed to refuse, honey. After all, weren't you in love with me back then?" Brian continued to pull Anna even though it was a little difficult because the woman kept on fighting.
"It was then. Now I'm even disgusted to see you," Anna replied in a high-pitched voice, her breath coming hard, her face already flushed with anger. Her memories of watching Brian make love to another woman replayed like a broken record in her head.
"YOU ARE FUCKING BOY. STAY AWAY FROM ME!!" Anna shouted and hit the man hard on the shoulder.
Brian suddenly turned around.
PLAKK…
Anna's body staggered to the side, Brian slapped her very hard.
"Don't fight me, honey. You only have me in this world, you should just obey," said Brian.
"Does it hurt? I'm sorry," he added, rubbing Anna's cheek roughly, then took her head in his arms.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
