A Heart Bond

A Heart Bond
Small Attention


Time keeps passing. Sometimes it feels slow, but sometimes it feels fast. Flowing and keep going with the flow.


Naina's condition slowly improved after taking the medicine. He also fell asleep due to the reaction of the drugs he was taking. Naina's guests did not come home until the afternoon. They accompany Rissa while Naina rests.


"Sin," Call Naina as she exits her room.


"Yes Ma'am'." Sahut Sinta while looking towards Naina.


Everyone is chatting in the family room. Everyone looked at the source of the voice.


"Mommy,,"


The little girl ran to her mother. Naina greeted him and immediately carried him.


"Is it better Na?" Dean asked as he stood up to approach Naina who was holding Rissa.


"It has. Thanks to ya." Naina's tone began to soften at Dean.


Dean smiled at him. Naina walked over to all her guests. He sat down and talked for a moment. Rissa is back playing with Sinta.


"Mom, can I ask you?" Ask Lita.


"Yes Ma."


"So, what exactly is your job?"


"Eh, sorry Ma about that." Naina said, bowing down unkindly.


"So??"


"Naina manages the business that Naina started with Rissa Ma." Honest Naina.


"What usaha?"


Naina remained silent and thought. "Mommy's got five Oma cafes." Rissa Sahut.


"Oh yeah? Then who works at the property company?"


"Bu Naina also manages a property venture of her own."


Lita closed all four fingers to her mouth. He did not believe the words he had just heard.


"Is there any more?" Ask Lita again.


"Shew. Did Miss Naina play shares too? Ask me that ever." Niko Sahut.


Naina glanced at Sinta. Sinta just blurted her face and acted innocent as if she did not know.


"Is that true Na?" Ask Dean.


Naina looked at Dean. "Why did it all come out?"


Naina took a long breath. "Yes." Yeah."


"You're a great woman it turns out." Praise Dean.


Naina's cheeks blushed at Dean's praise. Ah somehow, Naina's heart seemed to flowery just because of a simple compliment from Dean.


Naina did shut it all away from people. Even its employees, not many know that Naina has several business fields. Because indeed, Naina separated her business field neatly. Naina will schedule the reports of each business field on different days. Until no one knows each other about the other's efforts. Only Sinta knows all that.


"I'm not great. But my daughter, my Clarissa."


Yes, it was Rissa who always helped Naina, so it could be like this. Shares, Naina just obeyed everything Rissa said. Rissa is small, even more understanding of stock matters than Naina.


The property business of Naina, Rissa that will determine the favorable place and location. He can be very good at reading the prospects of a location even though only through digital maps. So, Naina who will negotiate the price issue with the person concerned.


For Naina's culinary business, it was one of her early forms of hobby distribution. Naina has a hobby of cooking. He used to help food stalls owned by Hera and Lea. He also wants to have his own restaurant.


But because as the times progressed, Naina chose to open a cafe with modern nuances but with the concept of family warmth and togetherness. The thing that Naina always craved, the warmth of the family.


"Oh yes Sin, what are you doing here? Want to know Niko?" Naina asked trying to shift the conversation.


"Yes Ma'am'. And I want to ask permission, tomorrow can't accompany Mom to the set of Rissa." Honest Sinta.


"You're not papa, are you, but?"


"No papa ma'am'."


"The plan is to delay Yang. Poor Ms. Naina has to go alone tomorrow if you're not around." Sahut Niko sincere.


"No Papa Ko, I've been sniffing. What do you have a plan?" Answer Naina.


"No papa ma'am'. Actually said Mas Niko, the plan is to delay. Pity you have to drive yourself to the top tomorrow." Sinta.


"What do you have plans?" Ask Naina again.


"Niko wants to know Sinta to her parents in her hometown." Dean's Law.


Naina turned to Dean in surprise. "If so, it cannot be delayed. It should be soon and soon if you two are serious about getting into a relationship." Naina Strictly.


"But Ma'am',,"


"Not wearing it but Sin! You can't postpone that plan, okay?"


"Yes Ma'am'. But what about Mom tomorrow?"


"Tomorrow will be better Sin. I must be taking the medicine, just calm down!" Naina tried to convince Sinta.


Moreover, he tomorrow had to take Rissa filming at the top, as the first filming location. He doubted that he could return home smoothly after filming.


"Sorry Mom', what will I eat now? Let Atun prepare." Ask Atun suddenly.


"Later, Miss Atun." Naina's heart is relaxed.


"Mommy,,"


"Naipa,,"


"Mother',,"


"Miss,,"


Everyone stared intently at Naina. Deg. Naina was fixated on getting sharp glances from everyone. Naina had already forgotten that she had just fainted and panicked everyone.


"Sorry everyone, hhehe. Yes Madam Atun, please prepare!" Naina said awkwardly.


"Let me prepare." Dean immediately moved out of his chair. He then walked towards the kitchen.


"No need De," Prevent Naina.


Dean ignored Naina's words. He walked towards the kitchen. Everyone looked at Dean indifferently. They already know Dean's stubbornness, except for Naina. Rissa also went back to watching her favorite cartoon show. The others, back to talking.


Naina stands up and follows Dean. He felt bad if Dean returned to prepare food for him. Remembering, his attitude has always been ketus all this time on Dean. But Dean was always so sweet on her.


"Please De! You don't have to do this. Let Mbak Atun prepare it." Naina said as she reached the kitchen with Dean.


"Just cook the vegetables and side dishes a little, it won't take long. You wait there, I'll finish it immediately." Said Dean softly while pointing towards the dining table.


Atun who was standing near the dining table, just smiled at the behavior of two humans who were almost as stubborn. He finally stepped out into the backyard to pick up a dry clothesline. He did not want to disturb the moment uwu the employer that happened without them knowing.


"Enough De! This is my home, please respect me as the host!" Naina snapped while moving to cover the refrigerator with her body. Since Naina was convinced, Dean would definitely look for groceries in the refrigerator.


Instead of Dean retreating and relented, he brought her closer and stuck Naina's body in the fridge. One hand grabbed the refrigerator door handle to open it.


"Of course, I respect you as the host. Let's just say,,"


Dean brought his face closer to Naina's. Naina is shocked, she is cornered into the refrigerator, and can only peck when Dean's face approaches. Dean cheered at Naina's frightened and embarrassed expression.


"Watch it, plus-plus service from your guests." Dean pulled the refrigerator door. Naina reflexes to walk sideways to avoid Dean.


Dean smirked in satisfaction for successfully teasing Naina. He then chose some raw materials in Naina's refrigerator.


While Naina, still trying to control himself. He stood beside the refrigerator. His heart suddenly beat. He was nervous, embarrassed, scared, and I don't know what it was. Everything mixed into one moment. His cheeks frowned and there was a strange feeling that suddenly approached him.


"You stand there and don't get tired Na?"


Dean's speech resuscitates Naina's daydream. He immediately moved away from the kitchen. He walked towards the back porch. He is still trying to neutralize his feelings.


"What's wrong with me?" Inner Naina.


"Mother isn't papa?" Atun asked who had finished taking the clothes clothes dry.


"No, Daddy." Sahut Naina is friendly.


Atun also entered the house. He glanced at the kitchen, where Dean was busy with his hobby. Cookout. Dean has a hobby of cooking. Resto and cafe that he managed is a form of channeling his hobby and also a form of affection for his late sister.


Naina finally sat down and relaxed on the back porch. Neutralize his feelings while enjoying the afternoon atmosphere with his limp body.


"It's over, Miss. Please eat!" Dean said as he squatted in front of Naina.


Naina whose eyes were closed from enjoying the breeze, was shocked by Dean's words. He inched to allow his sitting position when he saw Dean crouching before him with a tray containing a plate of rice complete with vegetables and side dishes and a glass of warm ginger tea.


"Dean?"


"Eat!" Dean's words are sincere.


"Should I be a bribe?" Goddamn Dean.


"No need, I'll eat by myself. Thank you." Thank you." Naina said as she received the tray Dean had brought.


Naina then put the tray on the table. Dean sat down in an empty chair across from Naina. Naina tasted the ginger tea Dean made.


"Be careful hot!"


"It's warm." Naina said with a smile. He began to taste Dean's cooking.


Dean's heart flowered from getting a sincere smile from Naina. The smile she had been waiting for for a long time.


Dean watched Naina who was enjoying her meal secretly. Like all this time, he was watching Naina secretly.


At first Dean felt it might be a momentary attraction when he saw Naina for the first time at the cafe five months ago. But Dean soon realized, the feeling was not a momentary feeling, having seen it for the umpteenth time in the cafe next to his restaurant.


Dean finally realized, he had fallen in love with the girl he accidentally saw. He began to watch her silently without daring to greet her.


"What's delicious?"


"Yes, this is delicious. Are you good at cooking?" Ask Naina.


"No. Just a prank." Dean's been shy.


"Ehem, that,,"
