A Heart Bond
Mellowed

The typical cool mountain air begins to burst into the lungs. Beautiful green landscape, soothing the tired net view on the trip.

Dean pulled the car over for a moment. He searches for the address of Rissa's set in Naina's bag. He had seen it earlier while looking for Naina's medicine on a sheet of paper.

Naina squirms small. He began to open his eyes slowly.

"What are you looking for, De?" Ask Naina.

Dean stopped his activities. His gaze shifted towards Naina. He smiled a little.

"You're awake? Is it still your stomach ache?"

Naina just shook her head.

"I'm looking for the filming address. I saw it in your bag."

Dean then took the sheet of paper in Naina's bag. He read it looking for the address he was looking for.

"Just use my phone! On my phone there is a full map. It's in the bag too." Naina Sahut.

Naina straightened her body. He looked towards Rissa. The little girl is still asleep. Dean was looking for Naina's phone in the bag she was holding. After meeting her, she gives it to Naina.

Naina then shows the location that has been sent by the film crew through a message with the location. Dean started to return the car.

"Why did you lie earlier?" Dean asked briefly.

"What do you mean?"

"You haven't taken your medicine this morning?" Terka Dean's.

Naina is caught lying about not taking the cure. He just kept quiet and answered nothing.

"Is it that hard to take your medicine Na? You don't feel sorry for Rissa if something happens to you later?" Syndicated Dean.

"You don't have to think about it. That's my business." Ketus Naina's.

"Do I have to marry you first and that's all my business?"

Dean is getting upset over Naina's response. Naina was stunned to hear Dean's words.

"We fellow humans should care for each other. I just don't want anything bad to happen to you Na."

Naina was still silent as she stared at the expanse of tea plantations that began to decorate the edge of the road.

"Even if you don't think of yourself, think of Rissa. She's not your daughter. If anything happens to you, what about him? Who will he depend on? She's a little Na."

Naina's heart is not dead. It permeates every word Dean. His tears were quietly drenching his smooth cheeks, and Dean didn't see that.

"I'm tired." Inner Naina.

Yes, Naina is tired of her life. Living with the shadow of a dark night. Who until now is ready to haunt him at all times.

Regretted? Sure do. But he did it for the people who took care of him. He is trapped in his own dilemma. One side he regretted for giving up his crown that night until finally Rissa was present in his life. On the other hand, he could not regret it because he did it for the sake of his grandmother. Because if he regrets it, it means he was not sincere and sincere to save his grandmother's life at that time. Naina was caught in that dilemma to date.

Naina wants to live happily like any other woman. Loving and being loved by a man. But when the shadow of the past is present, his desire shrinks until it disappears unceremoniously.

The shadow of the past when he was scorned and insulted by people for his reckless actions, really made him shudder in horror. He could not imagine, if the secret that he had been for several years would be known to people and he would accept the insult again. He could not imagine what would happen to him later.

There used to be Sekar, Lea and Hera who always accompanied and accompanied him. But now, he himself. In fact, he had to look after his daughter who didn't know about all that.

Until now, Rissa had only asked her father. And Naina managed to distract Rissa at that time. Somehow if later Rissa asks him again, Naina does not know what to answer.

"You've become Na's parents. You can't be that selfish with your daughter. If you want to be selfish, let Rissa be with her father. Where's she? Is he not responsible for his daughter?"

"DEAN ENOUGH!" Naina snapped very hard.

Dean jerks. He didn't think Naina would scream that loud. Rissa who fell asleep also woke up because of Naina's voice.

"Aarrgghh," Naina shouted uncontrollably. His hand ruffled his hair violently until it fell apart. He was crying in his chair. Dean pulled the car over immediately.

"Mommy," Call Rissa smooth. Rissa immediately moved to Naina's chair. He hugged his mother's body, which shook with tears.

"Yes,,"

"STOP ON! Leave me alone!" Naina said softly.

"Mommy," Whine Rissa.

"Rissa please! Just a moment Dear!"

"We're out for a minute, baby! Look at the yuk tea plantation!" Take Dean and extend both hands to Rissa. Rissa welcomed Dean's hand.

Naina sheds her tears after Dean and Rissa get out of the car. I don't know what made her heart feel so bad. He did not know why he had become so emotional and could not hold back his tears.

Outside, Rissa was still faithfully held by Dean. They stared at the vast expanse of tea plantations that lay refreshing green.

"Sorry, my dear! Om just said the wrong thing, so make Mommy angry." Obviously Dean's soft.

Rissa just nodded. She had never seen her mother that emotional before. Although he knew, his mother often held things alone. But he's never been like that before.

"I'm sorry Na!" Dean's mind glanced at his car.

Ten minutes later, Naina got out of the car with her hair tied up. His eyes and nose were still red, but he already looked calmer.

"Mommy," Rissa leaned straight towards Naina. Naina immediately greeted him.

"Are you okay Mom?"

"Yes, I'm fine baby." Answer Naina gently. "Rissa can wait in the car for a second? Mommy wants to talk to Dean."

Rissa nodded. Naina then drove Rissa into the car. He then approached Dean who was still standing staring at the expanse of thousands of tea trees illuminated by the sun.

"Sorry De," said Naina as she stared at the expanse of tea plantations.

"I should be the one apologizing Na. I'm too presumptuous to interfere in your life." Dean turned his head and looked at Naina's face.

"Let's continue the journey! Pity Rissa if it's too late." Take Naina while turning around and get in the car. Dean finally followed Naina. They went back on their journey.

The atmosphere in the car was so quiet. Only Rissa would occasionally ask Dean or Naina something. Twenty minutes later they arrived on set.

Along with that, came a luxurious black MPV car. The car was parked right next to Dean's. And at the same time the two cars opened the door at the same time.

Dean runs into the man who owns the car. The two men were stunned at the same time. Their eyes meet each other. But Dean immediately distracts her and helps Rissa get her gear ready.

"Why is he here?" The inner male owner of MPV is none other than Delvin Dewangga, Dean's cousin.

Naina also came down, but she wore a mask that she had prepared from home. He did not want his face to be known by many. While Rissa, he enjoyed the view of the film crew passing by and busy with his affairs.

"Do you still have another Na?" Ask Dean.

"What?"

"Mask."

"See, I'll get it in the bag." Naina gets Dean a mask in the bag she keeps in the trunk of the car.

"Why do you want to wear it? Wouldn't your handsome face be covered later." Naina said as she handed over Dean's mask behind the car with the trunk door still open.

Dean smiled slightly at Naina's words. "What did you say? I'm handsome?"

Dean brought his face closer to Naina's. Staring at the black eyes of Naina who was not covered by a mask. He plays next to his eyebrows.

Aahh, Naina's cheeks feel hot all of a sudden. If he didn't wear a mask, his cheeks would look blushing because of Dean's treatment. He was misbehaving and a little nervous.

"Oh? I was wrong, right? Sorry." Naina said briefly. He then left Dean and approached Rissa while calming her feelings. Dean smiled slightly while wearing his mask.

Deg. "Delvin?" Inner Naina.

"Mommy, it's Om Delvin Mom!" Shouted Rissa girang. He pranced so much.

"Yes dear. But don't scream!" Naina said after aligning her body with Rissa. Rissa was still faithfully staring at the handsome face of Delvin who was being mobbed by several people.

"Gosh, Dean?" Inner Naina who immediately turned her head towards the trunk of the car. Dean was right behind him. He stood up immediately.

"Sorry De," said Naina sincerely.

"For what?"

"Eemm, Delvin," Naina glanced at Delvin slightly.

"Why him?" Ask Dean flat.

"I know a little bit about your story with him. Mama told me that." Honest Naina.

Yes, Naina knows the story of Dean and Delvin. Dean and Delvin are so close that the relationship is destroyed by Dean's anger at Delvin who has ignored Rhea and is the cause of Rhea's loss of life.

Deg. Dean fell silent. He listened to Naina's words. He doesn't know that Naina is very close to his mother. Until her mother told Naina the past.

"I'm sorry, I didn't say that." Naina said because she had no response from Dean. His heart was deeply sorry for accepting Dean's offer this morning.

"That's it. Don't think about it. I have nothing to do with him. My business is here, with you and Rissa. Okay?" Dean's as relaxed as possible. He didn't want to make Naina feel guilty.

"Again, I've known it since yesterday. Rissa told me that." Honestly Dean while reaching for Rissa's body in his carrier.

Naina's laughing because of Dean. He smiled behind his mask. "If it were Delvin, surely Rissa would be so happy to feel her father's affection."

"Rissa is Mommy! Om, bring your gear" Dean said, handing Rissa over to Naina.

Rissa nodded obediently. It is then carried by Naina along with Dean who brings some of Rissa's needs. They then walked to the place the film crew had prepared for Rissa.
