Chapter 54: 54. Accident

On the way home, Anna contacted Naila again just because she wanted to make sure Dave was doing well, even though they had only been talking on the phone a few minutes ago.

"Mr. Hendra can you hurry up a bit?" said Anna turning to the middle-aged man who was driving next to her.

"Okay, Miss."

Ckiittt…

Hendra suddenly hit the brakes making Anna's head hit forward. They almost hit a vehicle that also suddenly did the same thing.

BRAAK…

Only a few seconds later the sound of a crash echoed, immediately everyone on the side of the road rushed into the less crowded highway.

"It looks like there was an accident up ahead, Miss," said Hendra after peeking a little through the car.

Anna who heard the middle-aged man's words immediately turned left and right to see the situation around, it turned out that all the vehicles that entered her view did the same thing.

Anna then opened the car door to confirm what was happening in front of her.

"Is there another way, Mr. Hendra?"

"Yes, Miss. But, we still can't go through there," answered Hendra after seeing the number of vehicles that had stopped behind them. Even though it hasn't been a few minutes and it's already that crowded. Maybe because they were in the middle of the city right now.

Anna took a deep breath then returned to her original position.

"Let me check first, Miss," said Hendra again then got out of the car, walking towards the sound of the previous crash.

Anna who was left alone did not stay silent, she then called Naila back and said that maybe she would be home late because she was stuck in traffic.

The ringing of the phone distracted Devan who had just come out of the bathroom.

"Good evening, sir," a woman's voice on the other end said.

"What's wrong Clarissa?"

"I have sent the file you requested this afternoon to your email, sir."

"Is that all?"

"I mean..."

"If you just want to say that, you don't need to call me. Just send me a message."

"Ah, I-I'm sorry, sir."

"Next time don't do it again."

"O-okay." And after that Devan ended the call.

Dressed in a casual suit, Devan descended the stairs. Walked into the kitchen to check what kind of food Anna had cooked for him.

For some reason, the hunger she felt this afternoon suddenly disappeared, at this time she had no appetite. Finally, Devan just tasted some of the food that had been arranged on the table.

Delicious, it's just that the appetite is gone.

"Devan..."

He almost choked on his food because the screams of a man he seemed to recognize echoed from outside the door. Who else but his cursed cousin, Leo.

He was very familiar with his cousin's habits. Never once did Leo visit him and didn't scream his name even when he hadn't entered the house.

Devan ignored Leo's call and instead walked to the refrigerator, took a bottle of water out of it, and drank it.

"Devaaannn," Leo shouted again.

"Noisy," Devan replied when he saw Leo now walking towards the living room. The living room with the kitchen is only limited by a wall whose height is only up to the waist of an adult, and the distance is not too far.

"Oh my god Devan, what happened to you? Are you sick?" Leo asked again landing his body on the sofa, the man invited Devan to talk but his gaze fell on several sheets of paper that were piled on the table.

"What's this?" he asked again reaching for one of the papers there.

"Are you blind? I'm working," said Devan, landing himself on the sofa, right in front of Leo.

"You are sick?"

Devan just glanced at Leo without a response.

"I was in your office, and Clarissa said you weren't coming in so I'm here," Leo said but got no response from Devan.

"You seem fine," he added again and then moved to the side next to Devan and looked at the man from head to toe.

Even so, Devan still ignored Leo, reaching for the tab he had previously placed on the table as if he wasn't bothered at all by all his cousin's ramblings.

"You always ignore me," Leo said leaning back.

"Looks like it's a waste of time for me to worry about a human like you," Leo added again with a shaky breath.

Devan stays busy with his tabs.

"You're doing your job here, did something happen in your study?" Leo asked again. Although he never got a response from the man, still he continued to talk to Devan. Let's say even Leo is used to his cousin's attitude.

"What are you doing here?" asked Devan finally speaking.

"If you just want to disturb, you better go home. I'm busy."

Hearing that, instead of Leo leaving, he said again, "I missed you."

Devan's reflex glanced at him sharply and it managed to make Leo burst out laughing, "I was just kidding."

Devan snorted, "Get lost."

"Ah yes, Grandma had sent food to the house and asked me to bring some to you," said Leo, saying his goal.

"Wait a minute, I forgot to bring it in," he added then immediately stood up.

"I'm full. It's for you," replied Devan stopping Leo's steps.

"I am not hungry."

"Then throw it away or give it to Deden and Hendra."

"Not kidding, Devan. It's from Grandma."

"Grandma is not here," replied Devan, still with his focus on the screen.

"That's right, Grandma isn't here," Leo chuckled, actually that was the only reason, he just wanted to know why his cousin didn't come to the office today because for the last few years he knew very well that Devan was a workaholic, even once when his cousin slept in the office until the morning.

And Oma happened to be sending food for them today, so he used that as an excuse to visit Devan. Normally, when Grandma sent food to him, he would only keep it at home after tasting a little. Rarely did he share it with Devan, maybe it could only be counted on the fingers? It's not that he doesn't want to, it's just that he knows very well that his cousin will refuse.

But it's a different story if it's Grandma who brings the food for them, both Leo and Devan, neither of them dares to refuse.

Leo sat back on the sofa, took out his cell phone to call Hendra because he was too lazy to walk to the parking lot again just to take the food.

"Hello, Hendra where are you?" Leo said right after the middle-aged man answered his call.

"On the road, sir," answered Hendra.

"On the road?"

"Yes sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

"No, I just wanted to ask you to take the food parcel that was in my car. I'm at Devan's house now."

"B-but sir, it seems I will be a little late," replied Hendra.

"Okay, no problem. Where are you now? Very noisy," Leo said again slightly moving the phone away from his ear because of the noise.

"There was an accident, sir."

"What? An accident?" Leo asked back and it managed to break Devan's focus.
