Anna, Hug Me
25

🌷🌷🌷

After Ana calms down, they resume the delayed eating. Edward and Evan move the food and drink, which was originally to host Thomas, into the house. Lily also put Adam to sleep.

The four of them ate without speaking, Each of them was curious about the decision Ana would make.

“Ana, will you see her again?” asked Lily who was impatient, she was already very curious.

Ana was speechless, still clearly remembering Thomas's screams before the man left, that Thomas was eager to see him. Honestly, he also wanted to see Thomas. But the events that happened that night were still clear to him, that night was the worst night of his life.

Ana sighs after all she realizes that she cannot stay away from Thomas forever, let alone the baby in the womb is the blood of Thomas' flesh.

“I can't keep hiding, I need to be able to finish this so I can look to the future.”

“So, you'll see him?” edward asked, frankly supportive if Thomas and Ana meet, because he knows everything that happens will be a big problem in the future if it is not resolved soon now. But Edward will not force Ana, all decisions will still be left to Ana, whatever Ana's decision, he will respect and support her.

Ana nods, “I'll see her, but I need someone to accompany me, I feel afraid of her.”

They all turned their heads towards Evan, Evan could definitely take care of Ana. But Evan did not respond to Ana's words, he was still struggling with his own mind.

Evan sighed, honestly, not that he did not want to accompany Ana to meet Thomas, but he felt unable to go there. He did not expect that he was defeated by Thomas, Thomas more everything than himself.

Thomas has more money, a higher position, a beautiful face, and Thomas's love for Ana is greater than his own, especially Ana is also pregnant with Thomas's baby, it was as if there was not the slightest chance for him to compete because Ana had already rejected him before he had even really tried. If he was the one who would accompany Ana, could he be fair as an intermediary between Thomas and Ana, he could not possibly do so because he had been faced with many conflicts of interest.

“I feel it would be better if Edward accompanied Ana. Edward knows both, they both will understand what Edward said, Edward can be an intermediary between the two,” Evan tried to resist subtly.

“I also agree if Edward is accompanying Ana. You even coolly punched your boss in the face, I love your actions but I hope you're not fired,” Lily said happily and worriedly. What if Edward gets fired? no, there are many other jobs.

“Alright,” replied Edward finally, “how about you Ana, does it matter if I accompany you?”

“Ya, no problem.”

“when do you plan to see him?” ask Edward again.

“Tomorrow nights, at my house. If I feel that the meeting is not going well, I just throw him home.”

Edward nodded, “ alright, I'll tell Thomas.”

Ana looked back at Evan, “Evan, can we go home now, I'm a little tired,” pinta Ana.

🌷🌷🌷

“Don't go straight home, accompany me for a walk, I want to refresh my mind,” pinta Ana when they get to the car.

Evan responds to Ana's request and takes Ana to a less crowded beach at night.

Ana tightened the sweater she was wearing, the wind on the beach was so strong it made her uncomfortable, she sighed repeatedly.

Evan helps Ana sit on the hood of the car, he himself chooses to stand in front while holding the girl's hand, trying to strengthen, he pity seeing his friend has a complex problem. He doesn't know what to do to ease Ana's burden.

“Evan, what should I do?” asked Ana in between her sobs.

“Do as your heart says,” replied Evan, “least listen to your heart, throw out all the bad thoughts that haunt you and try to sit alone with Thomas, there will definitely be a way out if you talk about it, you know, don't run away from this problem. Because the longer you delay eating the greater the problem will be. After all, the two of you should also think about this,” Evan said as he pointed at Ana's protruding stomach.

Ana wiped her tears and began to tell me, considering Thomas, whom she had once considered a brother, “I never knew Thomas liked me, which I knew Thomas was very good to me, I only consider him a brother because I'm very familiar with Charlotte, Thomas' sister. Chaty always warned his brother not to approach me, yes because as far as I know Thomas is a womanizer type man, Chaty has lost many of his close friends because of Thomas, so he does not want to lose me because of Thomas, because of Thomas,” Ana takes a deep breath before continuing her story.

“When I found out I was engaged, Thomas picked me up under the name of Chaty, I believed never that Thomas drugged me and took the most precious for me, Thomas ruined my future. My fiancee was furious at thinking I cheated on her and betrayed her. And my fiancee decided on me without asking twice. Thomas insisted on responsibility but I didn't want to spend the rest of my life with him, a truly selfish man. But that was before I knew I was pregnant. I never knew pregnancy could be that easy. I never knew. Hu hu..”.

“Did Thomas deliberately make you pregnant?” asked Evan guessing.

“I don't know.”

“Alright, I understand. Already no need to force yourself to tell the painful time.”

“It is precisely because I do not want to remember it that I told him, I really can not carry this burden alone,” Ana said as she patted her chest, trying to get rid of the pain that held her.

Evan hugs Ana, he wishes Ana strong and not to hurt herself.

“Have you told Chaty,” asked Evan carefully while letting go of his embrace, he looked straight at the girl in front of him.

“How can I tell her, Thomas is her brother, Chaty couldn't have reported Thomas to the police just for my sake,” Ana said while glaring.

“You will never know before you try it, Chaty might be able to think of a better solution if you can't solve this problem with Thomas.”

“Entah.”

“Then how is your fiancee?” asked Evan curiously. If Thomas was the son of Dunyan Night's owner, then what about Ana's ex-fiance.

“He is married.”

“Secap it?” asked Evan astonished, “isn't this strange enough, Don't-don't your fiance get involved with this.”

“It's not like that, maybe we were not meant to be together, thankfully our relationship ended well. Look even he gave me his card. Brother Theo does not know that I have memorized his number out of his head, so it's useless,” Ana said while showing the business card Theo gave him.

“Oh wow! Your ex-fiance was a Maxwell Company.” official

Ana just laughs, “she's my sister now, if you're anything I'll report you,” seductress Ana.

“Why didn't you report Thomas if you had such a great brother?”

“Entah,” replied Ana who then fell silent, he could not think why he did not report Thomas to Theo. He wasn't sure if there was any particular reason he didn't report Thomas to Theo. But if he asks Theo, he believes Theo will do whatever he tells him to do to avenge Thomas. Ana looked up, why don't I complain about Thomas to Theo, huh? inner wondering. Wh why?
