"Do you believe that this child is quite fluent in several languages?" instead of answering, Naila asked back.
"Eh?" Leo's expression was as if he couldn't believe what Naila said.
"What is your name?" Leo asked turning to Dave. (English Language)
"Why do you want to know my name, Uncle? I already mentioned it earlier," Dave replied, and instantly Leo was stunned. (English Language)
"Okay, okay, guys. I was just kidding," Leo chuckled.
The person who was spoken to just nodded, while on the other hand, Naila smiled faintly hearing the interaction between the two.
"Where do you want to take us?" he asked.
"Somewhere better, honey. Dave doesn't have to worry about that," Naila said while stroking the boy's head.
"Does my mother know, Auntie? I'm just afraid that my mother will have a hard time catching up with us later."
"Yes, honey. Don't worry. Auntie will call your mother later, okay?"
"Okay, thanks to Auntie," Dave said.
"Equally love."
"Where is Anna now?" Leo asked.
"She's at her husband's house," Naila replied.
"Oh, so that woman is married?"
"Do you think this kid fell from the sky?" said Naila immediately.
Leo laughed at Naila's words. "Yeah, who knows," he replied still with a laugh that hasn't left his lips.
"How old is he?" Leo asked again.
"Four years," Naila answered honestly.
"You said you were Anna's friend, but why didn't you know about this? I doubt what you said earlier was a..."
"A lie? Tsk, for what? It's of no use to me. I only know the name, maybe the other way around. I knew Anna five years ago through my cousin," Leo explained after cutting sentence Naila off.
"Is that true?"
"Yeah, and recently I saw her again at the park, with her husband and Dave. But only briefly, I also haven't had time to talk to her and she has gone with her husband," Leo said in one breath.
"When is it?" asked Naila curiously.
"A few weeks ago."
"Oh," said Naila shortly.
"Are you family from Anna's side or her husband's side?" Leo asked without taking her eyes off the highway.
"Neither."
"Eh? Then?"
"I'm just her son's babysitter, nothing more. But as long as I've worked with Anna, she has treated me like a friend and even a sibling," Naila replied.
"Is that true? That means you two are very close."
"If you call it that, then that's it," replied Naila.
"How long have you worked with her?"
"Just a few weeks ago."
"But seeing the way you treat Dave..." Leo stuttered, hesitating to continue his sentence.
"I know what you're thinking. I'm the babysitter, but I already consider this child as my nephew. I don't know, I just feel that way. Maybe because the way his mother treats me is also very good?"
"Ever since I worked with Anna, not once did she ask me to do anything other than taking care of Dave, she even always prepared breakfast for me before leaving for work, not only that all the housework was also done before I woke up. In her spare time, she always asks me to rest and leave Dave to her," Naila explained, remembering all the women's treatment of her.
"What I've mentioned isn't all. Maybe the word 'Fine' won't be enough to describe the way Anna is treating me. Even though I'm just a babysitter, but not once did Anna treat me as casually as my previous employers," she added then sighed.
"Really? Indeed, just by looking at her face, I can tell that she is a very nice person," Leo agreed.
"So you've been a babysitter long?" Leo asked a little curiously.
"Not long ago," Naila answered honestly.
Leo, who heard the girl's words, just 'Oh' rejoiced. He still wanted to ask Naila many things, but he was embarrassed because this was the first time they had met. Finally, he gave up and went silent again.
While on Naila's side, No one knows what possessed her so she wanted to answer all of the man's questions. If it's normal, she might protest more. Let's say she's a little tired at the moment.
"Where are you taking me? Not to your house, is it?" Naila asked when she didn't feel the car she was traveling in had no signs of stopping.
"So what? Didn't you ask me to give you a ride?"
"Yeah, but I didn't mean at your house. You can drop me off anywhere, in front of an inn or something," replied Naila.
"Why don't you just go back home? Why bother looking for an inn?" asked Leo who finally couldn't contain his curiosity about this all along.
"Long story. The point is now we need a place to stay for a while," replied Naila.
"Put us down if you find it," she added.
"At my house, you don't have to spend a dime."
"And then I became victim from your wives? Tsk no kidding."
Leo who heard the girl's words laughed.
"What is so funny?" asked Naila with a furrowed brow.
"No, I just wanted to laugh."
"Weird," said Naila.
Until the man's laughter subsided, there was no discussion after that, silence again took over the atmosphere. Only the sound of passing vehicles fills the trip.
Once again Naila glanced at her cellphone screen, there was still no notification from Anna and that made her even more worried and guessing.
'Has Anna already started her plan or not?'
'What is that woman doing right now?'
'How was the condition of the Mansion after the bodyguards found out that she and Dave had disappeared and were nowhere to be found?'
'Has this news reached Mr. Brian?'
'I hope not, because it might make it more difficult for Anna to get out of there.' And various kinds of similar thoughts filled Naila's mind, jostling to make her head throb in pain.
Leaning her body relaxed, trying to relax her body as much as possible, since earlier one of her hands never stopped stroking Dave's head, trying to give the boy a sense of comfort and security.
Traveled for a few more minutes, finally, their car turned and entered the baseman of an apartment.
"Why take me to the apartment? I just asked you to drop me off on the street earlier. I don't have enough money to rent an apartment like this, even if it's only for a few days," Naila protested getting up from her position, from her assessment, she knew that this apartment was not an apartment that could be lived in by the lower middle class.
"Who asked you to rent an apartment?" Leo replied and then opened the door, while Naila was still in her position, not moving an inch.
