Devan smiled, "You don't mean to do it?" replied Devan still in the same position, staring at the woman without blinking a bit.
"Your jokes aren't funny, Devan," Anna replied.
"I still have the status of the wife of another man," Anna muttered as if talking to herself, but her voice could still be heard by the man sitting next to her.
After Anna said that, Devan didn't respond anymore.
Secretly they both realized one thing in common, that their relationship was quite complicated. Have the same feelings even though they are already in a relationship with other people. Anna who is Brian's wife, and maybe Devan will soon be Byanca's husband.
Exhausted sighs could be heard escaping from between their lips at the same time, causing them to suddenly turn around with clear wrinkles on their foreheads.
"What are you thinking?"
"What are you thinking?" Anna and Devan asked at the same time making both of them smile awkwardly.
"You go first."
"You go first." Again, they said the same thing at the same time, and it managed to make Anna's cheeks turn red without her realizing it, while Devan the man took an upright position while rubbing the back of his neck.
"I-I'm thirsty," said Anna immediately getting up from her position, walking towards the kitchen with very fast steps.
Their hearts were beating faster than usual. No one knows, even though it's only two sentences, and they act like they've done something big.
Anna immediately gulped the bottle of water she took from the refrigerator, drank it until only a few sips remained, then pounded her chest which suddenly felt heavy.
"Slowly, you drink like someone afraid to lose water," Devan's voice suddenly sounded making Anna gasp in surprise, immediately turning towards the source of the voice where the man was already standing nearby.
"I'm thirsty too," said Devan, snatching the bottle in Anna's hand and then downing it.
From the beginning to the end, Anna just stared and didn't make a sound, staring intently at the man who suddenly appeared and drank the rest of the water in the bottle.
"Why is your expression like that?" Asked Devan as he returned the empty bottle in his hand to its original place, in Anna's hand.
"Th-that's what's left of me."
"So what?"
"You're not disgusted?"
"What for? It's just your lips. How can I be disgusted when your lips are already mine..."
"STOP!" Anna covered the man's mouth with one hand. Both legs seem to tiptoe.
"Don't go on with it anymore. T-that time, it was just a mistake. Yes it's just the two of us," said Anna then immediately walked away from the kitchen, her hands were seen hitting her ears while shaking her head.
Devan who saw the woman just chuckled. The empty bottle is still in Anna's hand, I don't know where she will take it.
Anna was embarrassed, and the woman's attitude was very adorable for the man. Devan then glanced at the clock on his wrist, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
"Anna," Devan called, approaching the woman.
The one whose name was mentioned did not turn around or answer.
"Want to go out with me?" Devan offered, and at that moment Anna turned to the man.
"Instead of going out with you, you better take me to my friend's house. My son is waiting for me there," replied Anna.
"No, I told you earlier that I would take you after the wound on your body healed, or at least it wasn't very clear," said Devan.
"Aren't you bored here all the time?"
"Are you afraid that Brian's people will find you?" asked Devan again.
Anna was silent and immediately looked away from the man, suddenly her gaze was sad. And it gives an indirect answer to Devan that it looks like his last statement was true.
"I don't want Miss Byanca to misunderstand more," Anna muttered but her voice still reached the man's ear.
Hearing Anna's words, Devan sighed harshly. Sit next to the woman without giving any response. Grabbing his cellphone which he had previously placed on the table, Devan then sent someone a text message.
The atmosphere in the room was quiet again, Anna was busy with the Japanese program that was currently broadcast on the tv screen, while Devan, the man was busy playing with his cellphone, only occasionally glancing at Anna and then back at the flat-shaped object on the screen.
Having been in that position for a very long time, there was no interaction between the two. They are all busy with their activities.
Until it was ten o'clock at night, Devan's cell phone rang, a faint smile etched on his lips right after opening a text message from someone.
"Let's go out," suddenly Devan's voice sounded and managed to break the silence between the two.
Reflex Anna turned, "I don't want to. If you want to ask me, maybe you should ..."
"No, eee I mean, I want to invite you to relax in the backyard," said Devan immediately cutting Anna's repeated sentence.
"Ha?"
"Come on!" asked Devan to immediately pull Anna up from her position.
But at the same time, Devan was silent when he saw the clothes worn by Anna.
"Wait here a moment," said Devan then released his grip and headed for the stairs at a fast pace.
Just a few minutes later, the man came back out of his room with a blanket and a jacket in his hand.
"Before going out, put this on first," said Devan as he handed Anna the jacket in his hand.
Anna, who still couldn't properly digest what Devan was doing, just nodded faintly and then put on the jacket, a jacket that seemed more suitable to be called a hoddie.
The hoodie was too big, reaching to Anna's knees and her arms were not visible at all.
Devan smiled when he saw his hoddie was already half wrapped around the woman in front of him.
"Now you won't be cold," said Devan then pulled Anna's arm towards the door.
Coming out of the house, Hendra was already standing there.
"Good evening, sir, Miss," said Hendra, bowing slightly in respect.
"Please come in," said Hendra again, directing his hands to the car door that was already wide open.
Anna frowned in confusion, turned to Devan as if asking for an explanation but the man just nodded without saying anything.
"Come on," said Devan again pulling Anna into the car.
"Where do you want to take me?" asked Anna who could not contain her curiosity.
"You'll find out later," Devan replied, and with that, the car started, not towards the gate, but down the road that led to the white house's backyard.
