And after she considered it, Anna finally accepted it, on one condition. That after she got her first paycheck, that guy would stop sending her money.
"Now what?" Anna asked trying to remember in case anything was forgotten.
"Looks like it doesn't exist anymore," replied Naila.
"Dave, you don't want to buy..." Naila's words trailed off when she couldn't find the boy next to her.
Suddenly Anna panicked, "Dave...." she called.
"Naila, where's Dave?"
"I-I don't know, he was still here with us," the girl replied.
Soon Anna left her groceries and looked for Dave. How could she not sense that her son was missing?
Naila did the same, looking for the boy's whereabouts.
The two of them scattered, looking in different places, occasionally asking random people.
Anna moved like a maniac, looking for Dave but couldn't find him. Even the pain on her thighs instantly disappeared.
She no longer felt pain, because fear and worry had dominated her.
Her face was pale. Various negative thoughts crammed into her head made her want to scream and cry profusely at that very moment.
"Where are you, honey?" Anna mumbled, her breath catching, clear grains had gathered in the corners of her eyes.
"Dave..." Anna shouted again.
She had circled the place, but could not find Dave anywhere.
"Naila, you haven't met my son yet?" asked Anna when she passed the girl again.
"As you can see, I also can't find it anywhere Anna," replied Naila in a voice that sounded very worried.
Suddenly Anna fell to the ground.
"Don't cry, Anna. Let's find it again. I'm sure Dave is still in this place," said Naila immediately hugging Anna.
"I've been around this place, Naila. I...I...didn't find him anywhere," lamented Anna.
Naila patted the woman's shoulder, "Alright, let's find it again. I will go to the security department and ask them for help," said Naila.
"Come on, staying here won't do anything," she added.
Hearing Naila's words, Anna nodded faintly, the clear tears already running down her cheeks without her realizing it.
"Mom...."
Just as Anna rose from her position, a boy's voice could be heard calling her from behind.
Anna immediately turned and at the same time, she ran and rushed to hug the boy.
"Dave..." Anna mumbled hugging her son tightly as if the next second she couldn't do that anymore.
"Mom, why are you crying?" Dave asked when he heard Anna sobbing.
Anna still hasn't moved from her position, hugging Dave tightly, ignoring the stares of the people around her.
While on the other hand, Naila also equalized her position with Dave, and stroked the child's head, with one hand patting Anna's shoulder.
"Enough, stop crying. Dave is back," said Naila.
Hearing Naila's voice, Anna tightened her hug even more.
"Mom... sick..." Dave groaned. Anna didn't realize that her hug was hurting her son.
With tears still flowing, Anna loosened her arms and looked at Dave intently.
"Where are you from, honey?"
"Don't leave Mom like this again, okay?"
With Dave's innocence, the boy raised his hand and stroked Anna's cheek.
"Mom.. why are you crying?"
"No, honey. Mother's eyes were only exposed to dust earlier," said Anna immediately wiping her cheek with the sleeve of the shirt she was wearing.
"Dave, where have you been, honey? I've been looking for you for a long time," Anna asked, her voice hoarse.
"Dave met your friend earlier, Mom."
"Friend?"
"Yes Mom, he left this to me to give to Mom," Dave replied, handing Anna a mini bouquet.
"Flower bouquet?"
Anna's brow furrowed, glanced briefly at Naila and then back at her son.
"You knows what his name is, honey?" she asked.
"I don't know, Mom. He just said that Mom was one of his friends," Dave replied.
Hearing that, Anna accepted the bouquet that Dave handed to her.
And the same message was there again, tucked between the flower stalks.
Just looking at it, Anna could immediately tell who the sender was.
That means the person who brought Dave without them knowing is that man. Brian.
Immediately Anna felt Dave's whole body.
"Honey, are you hurt?" she asked.
Naila who saw the woman's behavior frowned.
"No, Mom. Dave wasn't hurt."
Suddenly a sigh of relief escaped her lips.
"I'm grateful."
Suddenly the phone in her pocket vibrated. An incoming message.
Immediately Anna opened it, it was from Brian.
"HOW DOES IT FEEL TO LOSE YOUR SON FOR A FEW MINUTES?"
"I COULD DO MORE THINGS FOR HIM IF YOU REPEAT WHAT YOU'RE DOING TODAY."
"YOU REJECT ME AND AVOID ME."
"DON'T TREAT ME LIKE THAT AGAIN, DEAR."
A series of messages from Brian, made Anna's hands suddenly tremble.
It was obvious that Dave's disappearance was to warn her.
Anna just read the message without intending to reply. She then put the flat object back into her pocket.
"Who?" Naila asked, she couldn't help but ask when she saw the woman's reaction when she read the incoming message on her cellphone.
"Ah, just spam from an unknown number. The usual. Things like this happen often," said Anna trying to normalize her expression, but it still couldn't fool Naila's vision.
"Thank goodness," the girl replied, to be honest, she was worried about Anna, it was very clear that she was hiding something. But seeing her look normal and reluctant to tell what happened to her, made Naila just keep it quiet.
Hope it's not a big problem.
"Does that mean we can go home now?" Naila asked just to make small talk. Trying to get her to talk to distract her from things that might be bothering her right now.
"No, let's finish our purpose of coming here first then go home," replied Anna immediately.
"Okay, then, wait for me here, let me do it," said Naila again.
"No. We'd better do it together, after all, Dave is here with me," Anna replied, holding her son's hand tightly.
"No problem, Anna. I can do it. You look tired."
"Never mind, instead of saying the same thing over and over again, we should do it together so it's over quickly," said Anna, starting to take a step first.
Naila took a deep breath, "Alright. I can't refuse if it's your will," she said and followed Anna from behind.
She decided to walk a few steps behind Anna and Dave, just in case, afraid that the boy would disappear again like before.
Unbeknownst to them, a man in all black had been following them.
"You can't get away and stay away from me, honey," the man mumbled with a smirk.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
And after she considered it, Anna finally accepted it, on one condition. That after she got her first paycheck, that guy would stop sending her money.
"Now what?" Anna asked trying to remember in case anything was forgotten.
