A Heart Bond
Trying to dodge

Time keeps rolling. Turn around and keep going. Let every destiny that has been written, happen and pass endlessly. Leading to the destiny that will happen next. Which we never knew what it was.

Day by day change. Naina is still busy with all her work. He is also preparing for the next two weeks, which will probably be very heavy for him.

Managing all his efforts alone, without Sinta, would be quite tiring for him. Not to mention, Rissa who began to get an invitation to several talk shows on private television stations for the launch of her film. That adds to Naina's already pretty solid agenda.

And today, exactly two days before Sinta and Niko's wedding. Naina has been very busy since morning. He has missed his lunch schedule since yesterday. Naina always forgets to have lunch if Sinta doesn't remind her.

Naina was at the Zee Cafe as usual. He was still busy checking the reports he had not had time to check since morning. Occasionally, he sips his favorite coffee latte that is always accompanied by a piece of red velvet cake that can always shake his tongue.

"Mommy!" Shouted Rissa as she entered the cafe with a slight run.

Naina who was focusing on the flat-screen object in her hand, immediately looked for the source of the sound. He did not see Rissa walking through the window near Naina.

"Rissy! Who are you, darling? How come home?" Naina asked confusedly.

Naina began to wryly observe every inch of Rissa's body. He was worried if something happened to his beloved daughter because she came home early. But the result is nil.

Naina immediately moved on her phone. He tries to find a call or message from Rissa, who may have been missed because of her busyness. But the result is also nil.

"Who are you going home with, honey?" Naina asked confusedly.

Because normally, if it wasn't Naina who picked Rissa up to school, it was just one other person, that is Sinta. But, Sinta has also started taking leave since yesterday.

"The same is Dean Mom." Honest Rissa.

"Om De," Naina's words came to a halt.

"Hi Na!" Sapa Dean was friendly as he walked towards the chair opposite Naina's chair.

Naina took a long breath. He was trying to control his feelings. The one who was shocked and panicked, started to get out of shape because of Dean's presence.

Naina cannot be denied, in Naina's small heart, she also misses the figure of the man who just greeted her. He's happy to meet Dean now.

But, Naina also can't continue to take care of the feeling growing well. He had to try to kill her, so that the wounds he might feel would not be too deep.

"Why can you go home with Uncle Dean?" Naina asked as she pulled Rissa into her arms.

"So Rissa's class came home early Mom. When Rissa wants to call Mommy, Om Dean calls first. Said Dean, he's going to get Rissa to school." Rissa's story is honest.

"Other times, keep calling Mommy! And wait for Mommy to come get you. Okay?" Pinta Naina is firm, but still gentle.

"Okay Mom!" Sahut Rissa nodded.

"Here sit, baby!" Naina said as she patted the chair not far from her and Dean.

Rissa complied with Naina's request. Naina calls one of her employees to order food for Rissa and Dean.

Naina is still quiet with Dean. His heart still churned irregularly because it met Dean. He chose to be quiet and not pay attention to it. He chooses to be busy with Rissa or her job.

Dean chose to be silent in response to Naina's attitude. He begins to understand Naina's attitude towards her. Sometimes it can be very sweet, but also sometimes it can be sniffy and quiet on him.

"Na," Call Dean quietly after their order arrives.

"Yes." Yeah." Naina replied briefly without looking at Dean.

"Have you eaten?"

"It."

"When did Mommy eat?" Ask Rissa curiously. Because he also knew, his mother often missed lunch if not reminded.

"Dear, quickly eat the food. The mump is still warm. Mommy wants to check the report first!" Answer Naina at that time.

"Okay Mom!" Rissa answered happily. Because he was hungry too.

Naina is back at work again. He let Rissa and Dean enjoy the food.

"Siang Ma'am'!" Greet someone from beside Naina all of a sudden.

The three men also looked. Apparently there was Sinta and Niko who had just arrived. They just want to spend time in Naina's cafe. Accidentally, they met their respective superiors.

"You guys?" Naina is confused.

"We're on a walk, ma'am'." Sahut Sinta honest.

"alright. Enjoy your time!" Naina's sincere.

Sinta and Niko greet Dean and Rissa who are enjoying their meal. They sat in a chair next to Naina's.

Suddenly, Rissa sounded very noisy with Dean. They were joking and laughing so happily.

"Rissy! Don't be noisy if you're eating!" Snappy Naina suddenly.

And CEP. Dean and Rissa instantly silently heard Naina's voice. Sinta and Niko turned to Naina.

"Okay Mom!" Dean and Rissa were together by accident.

Dean and Rissa looked at each other. Dean and Rissa had a little chat together. Naina frowned. He looked at Dean with a sharp look.

"Whether you follow me call me 'mommy' like Rissa?" Ketus Naina's.

"Come Na! I'm just kidding." Honestly Dean.

Naina who is a lot of work, and still in the future months, she can quickly ignite her emotions. Moreover, he had to struggle with his heart and logic when dealing with Dean, about feelings that Naina did not expect.

"Rissa, finish your meal! Mommy will check the cafe report first, after that Mommy takes you home." Naina said as flat as possible.

Rissa nodded at her mother. Naina immediately grabbed her phone and bag. He immediately left the table and walked towards the second floor. Where is the office in the cafe.

"Yes!" Call Dean while you stand.

Naina didn't bully him. He kept walking and approached the cashier who was on duty.

"Where's Johan?" Naina asked firmly.

"Sir Johan's in Mom's office'." Answer the cashier respectfully.

"Okay, thank you." Naina answered briefly.

"Sama-sama Ma'am'."

Naina immediately stepped back to the stairs and immediately to the office on the second floor. He wanted to avoid Dean because he couldn't manage his feelings since then.

"Rissy! You are the same Aunt Sinta and Om Niko first! I'm gonna talk to Mommy for a second!" Pamit Dean after returning to sit next to Rissa.

"OK Om!" Answer Rissa plain.

"Look! The sinta! Please accompany Rissa for a moment! I want to talk to Naina!" Pinta Dean on a couple who had been observing Naina and Dean's behavior.

"Okay Sir!" Niko is sure.

"But Master," Prevent Sinta suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Dean asked curiously.

"Bu Naina is checking the cafe report, sir. He doesn't like to be disturbed when he's at work." Prevent Sinta as much as possible.

Sinta still remembered correctly, Naina said as they chatted at Naina's house a few days ago. He tries to prevent Dean from approaching Naina at this time.

"I'll wait for him to finish his job." Dean replied casually.

"But,,"

Sinta can't stop Dean. Dean also did not discuss Sinta's words earlier. He walked towards the second floor following Naina, who had already disappeared her shadow at the end of the stairs. Sinta could only sigh full of regret.

"Sorry Mom'!" Satin Sinta sad.

At the cafe office, Naina is with Johan, her cafe manager. Johan patiently gave Naina a weekly report.

Before long, Johan was out of the office. He met Dean right at the door.

"Is Naina still inside?" Ask Dean kindly.

"You who?" Ask Johan full of questions. He also knew that the owner of the cafe, unusual to meet anyone in his cafe as the owner, except his employees.

"I'm his friend. I know, he owns this place." Dean replied casually.

"Oh. Yes, Ms. Naina is still inside." Honest Johan.

"Thank you."

"Together."

Johan immediately left Dean because he got an order from Naina earlier. He did not want to disappoint the owner of the place where he worked.

Geck, tok, tok. Dean knocked on the office door slowly.

"Lake in!" Naina from the inside.

Dean opened the door immediately. Naina was waiting for whoever knocked on the door.

"Hi Na!" Sapa Dean's friendly.

"Deans? Why are you here? Who's rissa the same?" Naina asked in panic while standing up.

"Rissa with Niko and Sinta. I want to talk to you Na."

"Sorry De, I'm doing a lot of work!" Honest Naina.

"Just a minute Na!" Pinta Dean is back. He approached naina slowly

"Sorry De! Please leave! I have to finish my report and drive Rissa home immediately." Naina replied without seeing Dean. He sat back in his chair.

"Naaa," Call Dean gently.

Naina looked at Dean. It turned out that he was right next to her. He had even held the handle of the swivel chair that Naina was sitting on. Dean turns Naina's chair around, until they come face to face. Naina widened her eyes.

"Deee," muttered Naina.

Dean restrains Naina in a chair with both hands. Her face began to approach Naina's shocked face.

"I miss you Na!" Dean lirih.
