The middle-aged man handed Anna a paper bag, glanced at Mr. Devan, Hendra didn't want to linger, and immediately said goodbye.
"Excuse me, madam," said the middle-aged man.
Anna just nodded in agreement, seeing Hendra disappear from her sight, she then turned around and couldn't find Devan anywhere her eyes looked.
A faint sound came from inside the bathroom, Anna could immediately tell that the man was in there.
Anna sighed, she then took out Devan's clothes and arranged them on the bed, after which she walked to the side of the window to see where her son was.
And it was true, Naila and Dave were playing down there, various kinds of robot toys piled up around them, even Hendra was down there too.
The lighting that filled the page was adequate and it helped her see clearly. Silently in her position, Anna watched Dave's every move without blinking, without realizing that a faint smile appeared on her lips.
Suddenly her body stiffened as a hand wrapped around her stomach, peering into her skin. Feels very cold and a little wet.
"What are you doing? Hmm?" Even the mint-scented breath was so fresh it touched the skin of her neck. Devan hugged Anna from behind and used her shoulder to support his chin.
Anna froze on the spot not knowing what to do.
"Did you shower?" Anna asked after catching her breath.
"Erm." Then wear your clothes, don't hug me like this, even your hair is still wet," said Anna when she felt her facial skin touch Devan's hair.
"Later," replied Devan.
"Then let me go."
Devan shook his head and managed to cause a tingling sensation on the woman's skin.
"What did you see and didn't answer my question?" asked Devan then glanced down there.
"Which is your question?"
"Never mind, forget it," said Devan.
"How long has Dave been there?" asked Devan when his eyes caught his son's whereabouts.
"I don't know, he's been there since you came earlier," replied Anna.
"Looks like he likes robots."
Anna didn't respond and just kept quiet.
"Take off and put on your clothes, I want to catch up with Dave," Anna said after a few minutes of silence, her hands trying to free Devan's arms that were wrapped around her stomach.
"Just let him play with Naila and Hendra, you stay here, honey," Devan replied, tightening his embrace, and it made Anna's body heat up.
Anna was silent, in such a position, honestly, she didn't know how to respond.
"How are you today?" asked Anna after racking her brain for a discussion, because it felt very awkward if she just stayed in the man's arms.
"Good."
"I thought you wanted to go home, why did you come here all of a sudden?" asked Anna again.
"Do I have a home other than you and my son?"
Anna sighed, "I didn't mean it like that."
"I'd like to stay here tonight, may I?" His breath became more intense, making the hairs on Anna's spine stand up against gravity.
"What are you going to say to Byanca and Mrs. Seira when they find out you're not coming home?"
"Who said? I'm home now, honey."
"The place where you and my son are my home too," he added.
Hearing that, Anna's face turned red like a boiled crab.
"I'm serious Devan. Don't change the subject," Anna protested when she heard Devan's answer didn't match the intent of her question.
"I'm serious too, honey," Devan muttered but it sounded clear in her ears.
Again, Anna took a shaky breath.
"You don't like my existence?" he asked.
"No, it's not like that. You know, that you still have a relationship with Byanca, I don't want my existence to get in the way of all your plans. It's not that I don't like it when you visit me, no, it's not like that. I even really like it, it's just…"
"Just what, honey?" cut Devan immediately.
"Nothing can stop me if I want to meet the mother of my child."
"Stop worrying about me, honey. Everything will be fine, believe me, three days from now I will announce to my extended family that I don't want the wedding."
Hearing Devan's words, Anna fell silent.
"What if they don't agree? Or turn against you? I don't want my presence to make you an enemy of your own family, Devan," Anna said a little doubtfully, she didn't want her presence to bring havoc to the man.
"I do not care. If they want to hate or even antagonize me, I don't care, as long as I can still be with you and my son, then that's enough, honey. I don't need anything else," Devan replied at length with just one breath.
"Okay, I trust you," Anna said then turned around and hugged Devan tightly, and Anna's sudden action made the man freeze on the spot, but only a few seconds before he tightened his arms again on the tiny body in front of him.
"Thank you," Devan replied.
Since then, Anna decided to trust a man again. Maybe Naila was right, that all this time she had been too busy with herself to pay attention to the existence of the people around her.
Anna who was too immersed in the atmosphere didn't seem to notice that the body was currently hugging her was not wearing a single thread.
Staying in that position for a few minutes, a smirk plastered on Devan's lips, "I don't think it's fair if only I don't wear clothes," he said.
Hearing that, Anna was rooted to the spot. How could she forget that man's appearance and hug her carelessly?
Anna cursed herself for acting recklessly.
"Th-then, you wear clothes," she said loosening her hands on the man's body.
"Then go back to hugging like this?" Devan replied, pulling the tiny body, then hugged him again.
"De-Devan, what are you doing?" Anna stuttered, her cheeks turning red again.
"Let-let me go," she added. The performance of her heart suddenly worked many times more than usual. If only the heart could jump, it might have jumped out of place.
Their current position was not good for Anna's heart health.
"Don't hesitate or be shy. My body is yours, honey," said Devan and it managed to cause a strange tingle in the woman's body.
"Awww..." Devan suddenly grimaced and his hands were released from Anna's body.
Yes, the woman stomped her feet, making her flinch in surprise.
"Put on your clothes and stop saying such lewd things," Anna said walking away, then disappeared behind the door.
