I won''t let anyone hurt you again, Anna," replied Na


    Hearing the girl''s words, Anna just smiled.


    Even though Na told what happened that day at the amusement park that she managed to escape, there were some things she didn''t say, one of which was when her father''s people came and forced her to return home.


    Suddenly the bell rang, making Na and Anna reflexively turn towards the source of the sound.


    "Let me see first," said Na then stood up.


    Anna nodded in agreement.


    Opening the door, it turned out to be Devan.


    Seeing the man enter the room, Anna suddenly smiled subconsciously.


    "Sorry I just came, honey," said Devan after cing the paper bag on the table and thennding his body on the sofa right next to Anna.


    His eyes fell on Dave.


    "Why is Dave sleeping here?" the man asked again when he found his son asleep in Anna''sp.


    "Leave him alone, it''s all right," answered Anna.


    "Have you eaten?" he asked.


    Anna nodded, as did Na.


    Seeing the response of the two women, Devan then looked around.


    "Leo to the office?" he asked.


    "No, he said he was going to Grandma''s house," Na now answered a question that was not addressed to her.


    "Since when?"


    "Probably a few hours ago," the girl replied.


    Hearing that, Devan nodded. "Dave was looking for you," said Na again.


    "Is that true? Ah, I had business at the office earlier, so I just got here," answered Devan.


    "Is it okay if you skip ss like this a lot?" asked Anna curiously.


    "I''m just afraid that Lidya''s mother will be angry," she added.


    Hearing that Devan smiled, "Don''t think about it, honey," Devan replied, leaning on Anna''s shoulder as if he didn''t care about Na''s presence in the room.


    "Tonight, you guyse with me," said Devan after a few minutes of silence.


    "Where to?" she asked.


    "You will find outter," Devan replied then closed his eyes without taking his head away from the woman''s shoulder.


    And that made Anna reluctant to even move. For fear of waking Dave who was sleeping on herp and Devan who also seemed to be doing the same thing on her shoulder.


    Na, who saw the scene in front of her, smiled. "It seems your body is morefortable for them to sleep than on the bed," Na muttered but still managed to reach the woman''s sense of hearing.


    Staying in that position for a few minutes, Devan''s cell phone rang, making the man suddenly wake up.


    Reached into his trouser pocket, and found Byanca''s name on it. Instead of answering, Devan rejected the call and put his cell phone on the table.


    "Who?" she asked.


    "Ahh nothing," replied Devan.


    "Why don''t you just answer it?" asked Anna again.


    "It doesn''t matter, honey. Let''s not talk about it anymore."


    "Ah yes, I bought a toy for Dave," said Devan again as he grabbed the paper bag he brought earlier.


    "You better give it yourself when you wake up, I''m sure Dave will be very pleased," said Anna.


    "Is that true? I''ll give it to himter."


    ***


    It was now five in the afternoon, Leo had just returned from Grandma''s house. And now the man is taking a shower because Devan told them all to get ready.


    Until a few minutester, everything was ready.


    "Leo, you are with Na, and I am with Anna and also Dave," Devan said to his cousin.


    "Where do you want to take us?" asked Leo who didn''t know how many times he had been.


    "You''ll find outter," said Devan.


    "Then let''s go," said Devan again.


    Hearing that, Leo nodded.


    "OK."


    The next minute they left the apartment, headed for a ce they had no idea about.


    "Daddy," Dave called, the boy''s voice just as the car started.


    "Hmm? What''s up, young master?" Devan replied, ncing at his son.


    "Where are we going?"


    "To Dave''s new house," Devan replied with a smile.


    "New house?"


    "Yes, Dear."


    "Devan, what do you mean? Is that true?" Anna also asked.


    "Um, I don''t want my son to be abandoned," Devan replied.


    Hearing this, Anna fell silent. "Thank you," she said.


    "Don''t thank me, I didn''t do anything. I only fulfilled my obligations as his father, and also for a woman who I love very much," Devan replied.


    Anna blushed again at the man''s words.


    "What about your mother and Byanca yesterday?" asked Anna again who could not contain her curiosity.


    "Byanca is sick, and Mama asked her to stay home," Devan replied honestly.


    "Really? Then how is he now? Is he seriously ill?" she asked.


    "Why do you ask questions like that? Aren''t you jealous?" Devan didn''t like Anna''s response, instead of the woman showing jealousy, he instead asked about Byanca''s condition which had hurt her.


    "What do you want me to say?" she asked.


    Devan who heard that was a little annoyed, "Forget it," he replied briefly.


    And that made Anna wince in surprise.


    "Anna, don''t think anything of me, okay?" Devan said after a few minutes of silence.


    "I''m telling the truth like this because I don''t want you to know this from other people."


    "But trust me, I have absolutely no feelings for her, I''m just for you, honey."


    "He and I slept in separate rooms and never spoke."


    "Onlyst night, I had to apany her to dinner because..."


    "I see. You don''t need to exin everything like this Devan," Anna interrupted immediately. Even though she didn''t ask the man anything, and Devan had already told her everything he had done with Byanca.


    "I don''t want you to misunderstand, honey," Devan replied. Hepletely understood how Anna was feeling right now. A woman whose trust has been betrayed by another man is now again trying to establish a rtionship with him, Devan knows it may take a long time for him to gain her trust. Therefore, he decided not to hide anything from Anna. Whatever that is.


    "I know, you don''t have to worry about me," said Anna.
