Chapter 64 - 64. Stop Caring About Me

"That's for you, from me," he said as he walked away, leaving a huge confusion and a question mark in her mind.

***

The next day, right at dawn, Anna did all her routines, as usual, today she decided to go back to work. Her waist doesn't hurt too much anymore, after all, tomorrow is a day off, she will feel very bad if she still takes today's day off with the excuse of being sick.

After cleaning the house, Anna made breakfast for Dave and Naila. Then get ready to go to Devan's house.

Her footsteps suddenly stopped right after opening the door. A beautiful bouquet lay in front of her.

"Who put this flower here?" Anna looked everywhere for the flower sender, thinking that maybe the person had the wrong address.

Finding no one as far as her eyes could see, Anna reached for the bouquet.

Fragrant and so fresh.

"For Anna."

"Good morning dear. Have a beautiful day," Anna muttered reading the message tucked among the flowers. The wrinkles on her forehead became clearer when she couldn't find the name of the sender.

"This is for me?" Anna muttered again as if still unsure.

Not wanting to linger, she then brought the flower in and placed it on the living room table.

Glancing at the clock in her hand, it seemed that there were only a few minutes left and the bus he used to ride would arrive at the nearest bus stopped from Nicho's house.

The orange light that glows from the eastern horizon slowly erodes the darkness of the night.

The cold but refreshing air made Anna feel so relaxed, she walked casually towards the bus stopped, it turned out that there were already several people there, and seemed to be waiting for the same vehicle.

Just as Anna got there, the bus she was waiting for had arrived.

Until arriving at Devan's house, for some reason, Mr. Deden always appeared right after she entered the man's yard home as if the gardener had been waiting for her on purpose.

"Thank you, Mr. Deden," said Anna getting off the buggy she was riding in.

"You're welcome, Miss. Then I say goodbye," replied the middle-aged man and only got a nod from Anna.

Without waiting for Deden to disappear from her sight, Anna rushed into the white house.

There is no sign of life in the house yet, it means Devan hasn't woken up yet. Seeing the whole house which was very clean, Anna was a little confused. Because he didn't come to work yesterday, but the house still looks very clean.

If the house like this? What will she do? Cleaning an already very clean room?

Anna went to the kitchen, she decided to just cook breakfast for Devan.

Even the groceries in the refrigerator have been refilled, some items that were not on her shopping list the other day also missed her view.

"Is this Devan's doing?"

"Ah no way," Anna monologued then took some sausages and eggs.

It was now seven o'clock in the morning, all the things that Anna had been doing since earlier were now finished. And now she didn't know what to do anymore.

While waiting for the owner of the house to wake up, Anna relaxed on the sofa in the living room while playing on her cellphone.

More than an hour had passed, and there was still no sign of the man waking up. Anna was a little worried because usually, Devan was already sitting on the sofa before she came, or a few minutes after she arrived.

But now more than an hour had passed, and the man had yet to show himself. Not to mention it's a workday, is that guy going to miss work again? Or did something happen to him? Let's say that Anna is currently worried about Devan.

Anna became worried, wanted to check the man in his room, but hesitated. Because it is not very suitable to be done by subordinates to its superiors.

In the end, she chose to wait a few more minutes, and if he didn't show up, then Anna would check on him. Afraid if something happened to Devan.

.

.

"Hmm… well, I'll check it out now," said Anna as soon as she got up from her position, she had been waiting for a long time, and the man didn't come out.

Climbing the stairs slowly to the second floor, her heart raced with her footsteps.

Knock...knock...knock...

Anna knocked softly on the door.

"Mr. Devan… are you all right?" Anna tried to get the man to talk.

One minute…

Two minutes…

There was no response, Anna again did the same thing three times but the result was still the same.

"Mr. Devan… are you okay?" Anna asked again and tried to open the door.

Unlocked.

With very slow movements, Anna peeked into the room, and a shirtless man entered her view. It was Devan, the man was still asleep. Reflex Anna breathed a sigh of relief. Turns out her worries were in vain.

Anna wanted to close the door again but stopped. Her smell caught the smell of alcohol.

'Was the man drunk last night?' she thought then closed the door tightly again.

No one knows what Anna had in mind, the woman returned to the kitchen and intended to cook chicken soup for Devan, so that the hangover that the man might feel would decrease or even disappear.

Only a few seconds after Anna arranged her cooking on the dining table, Devan finally came out of the room with a very messy appearance.

Seeing this, Anna immediately took a drink of water and gave it to the man.

"Want to drink?"

Devan was silent for a moment, then grabbed the glass that Anna handed to him, then downed it.

"I will do it," said Anna again snatching the empty glass in the man's hand.

"I've cooked soup for you, eat it so you can feel a little better," added Anna again as she walked to the kitchen table and put the glass there.

Devan did not respond, the man then walked to the table and found a lot of food there. He was silent for a moment as if trying to make up his mind.

Seeing this, Anna did not remain silent, the woman immediately filled the empty bowl with soup and placed it in front of Devan.

But when Anna wanted to withdraw her hand, Devan suddenly grabbed her, making the woman wince slightly.

"Is this how a married woman treats another man?" said Devan looking at Anna sharply.

"W-what do you mean?" asked Anna confused.

"No need to pretend. Next time you won't have to do something like this. Just do your job then go home, no need to take care of me," replied Devan then stomped Anna's hand on the side of the table making the woman's body sway slightly.

Yes, the information that Devan's men sent yesterday afternoon was information about Anna.. There it says that the woman is married to a man named Nicho.
