Anna had arrived at the house, the woman imdiately 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 agreent. "Since earlier, he couldn't calm down just because he was waiting for you to co ho, he even refused to enter the room until he fell asleep here, only about fifteen minutes ago I brought him in and you have co," Naila said.
Anna didn't answer, the woman was just silent, one of her arms lifted and covered her forehead, looking very tired.
"Want 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 so ointnt in my bag, can you help apply it on my back?" said Anna.
"Sure, wait a minute, I'll take it first," replied Naila imdiately reaching for the woman's bag which Anna had thrown carelessly on the table.
Anna doesn't know since when the ointnt was there because when she was on her way ho earlier, she asked Hendra to take her to the pharmacy first to buy so ointnt that might relieve the pain in her waist, but when she open her purse to do a paynt, a similar object was already in the bag. In the end, she didn't buy the ointnt.
She guessed that it was Devan's doing. Putting the ointnt 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 movent of her hands on Anna's body which was already in a prone position.
"I fell," replied Anna curtly.
"Next ti 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 , Naila."
"Have you eaten? I cooked so food for you and Dave."
"I've already eaten."
"Ah yes, Dave asked to call you earlier," said Naila.
"Really? You called ?" 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 ssages either.
"But the one who answered it up was a man. When I heard Dave asking you, I imdiately took over and ended it imdiately," 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 imdiately 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 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 imdiately 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 so 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 imdiately 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 sothing they didn't want to talk about, Anna understood that. And it seed, 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 sothing.
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 ho," 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 up with soone I don't know. And I just found out right on the day of the engagent. At that ti, I ran away from there and never ca 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 an 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 ," 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 ," Anna replied again and it made Naila's brow furrow.
"Now, I don't even know where he is after leaving 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 anymore? He left , that ans he doesn't think of 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 ans he loves you," Anna added again.
"One day, you have to co back and apologize to him for leaving the house."
"Maybe, but I don't know when.. Just let live like this, it's better than living in my father's restraints," Naila replied.
