Anna, Hug Me
31
🌷🌷🌷
The next day, Ana sees Thomas coming to her house again. This time the pool that Thomas made seemed almost finished. He who was getting used to Thomas' arrival only let him. He stood not far from Thomas to dry his clothes
“Good morning Ana” greet Thomas.
“Yes, good morning” replied Ana short. He doesn't want to talk, he doesn't feel well. He is also lazy to wash, but he is even more lazy if he has a lot of laundry.
“Are you not feeling well?” asked Thomas who immediately understood only from Ana's short answer. When he saw Ana drying clothes, he immediately finished his job and helped Ana. “You don't have to do it. From now on let me wash your clothes.”
Ana does not dispute Thomas' words because she is very grateful Thomas helped her sunbathe. "Alright, please dry this," He himself immediately sat on the chair and let Thomas take over. Her growing pregnancy makes her tired faster, especially her back and calves feel pain sometimes. He also began to often get edema in his legs and hands, he imagined getting a massage every day, it must be a great relief. Of course he did not expect to get a massage because no one would massage him, Thomas' cooking, such a spoiled child, how could he tell him to do that.
Ana saw Thomas' clothesline, hmm, not bad for the first person to do it, she murmured softly.
Thomas looked at Ana who looked tired. About what I can do to make it better, her mind. He immediately put down the laundry basket and approached towards Ana. It was at this close that he knew why Ana looked exhausted. “Your legs are swollen,” he said surprised when he saw Ana's legs were concentrated in a short chair. Her heart was sobbing painfully looking at her, my poor Ana, she once wanted to see Ana without worrying. It's just that it's impossible because all the misfortune on Ana comes from him. It was he who brought the misfortune.
“Let me scowl you,” bargain Thomas. Surely the offer was just a pleasant talk because even though Ana refused, she would still massage Ana's feet. “Do you have any essential oil?” ask Thomas again.
“There is in the bedroom. I used to use olive oil, otherwise I put it on the table next to the bed, my room behind the tv table" Ana replied. Thomas didn't think Ana would, but the girl must be really exhausted.
Thomas rushed to fetch the oil while carrying the clothesline basket in. As he looked at the bed that Ana was referring to, he actually cried. He only found an old couch with a hard mattress, sheets and blankets that had faded, only a pillow cover and bolsters that looked new. Beside the window was a two-door wooden cabinet whose door handles were also broken. Everything seems limited here. Her heart was sliced to see him, she deeply regretted having toyed with Ana. The girl can actually be part of the Maxwell family with all her luxuries, just because her selfish behavior makes Ana not only give up her happiness but also a comfortable life. What can be given by him? There ain't! Except just sadness and pain. He was determined not to make Ana sad again. Rice has become a porridge. He can't fix the past, but at least he can try to make a better future for Ana. He immediately wiped away the tears on his cheek and took the olive oil, Ana must have been waiting for him.
“What took you so long inside? Isn't there on the table?” ask Ana.
Thomas smiled, “ya, there you have it.” He started to stomp Ana's feet.
But just a few massages, Ana immediately told him to stop. “Wait-wait! stopgap. You did it wrong, you have to avoid it in the opposite direction. Come here your hand, let me exemplify,” Ana said as she held Thomas's left hand. “You have to sigh upwards like this,” Ana said exemplifying. He massaged Thomas's hand by directing his massage towards the arm.
Thomas looked at Ana without the slightest heed to the instructions given. She was amazed that Ana would hold her hand. Her touch gently swerved into her veins. He missed this touch. He never thought he could feel it again. His handsome face flashed a smile, Ana I love you, I would love Thomas to say that word. But of course he didn't have the courage to say it.
“Do you understand?” anna asked him to throw Thomas' daydream. Thomas was a little ashamed of being stared at like that so he immediately let go of Thomas' hand.
Thomas stuttered, he felt guilty seeing Ana uncomfortable by her gaze, “Yes, is it like this?”
“Yes, do it like that,” said Ana. “I will close my eyes for a while, wake me up if I fall asleep.”
Thomas just nodded. Ana immediately fell asleep quickly as soon as she closed her eyes. Thomas looked at her with pity because Ana's sleeping position was sitting down, looking completely uncomfortable. But Thomas chooses to let Ana go and continue to massage, if he has finished his work and Ana is still not awake then he will move this girl inside.
🌷🌷🌷
Silence, no answer. He then opened his eyes, “hmmm I'm already in the room,” murmured confused. He closed his eyes for a while and opened his eyes again. But he was still in the room. “I don't feel like sleeping in the room. Could it be Thomas who moved me inside? what time is it?” he looked out the window. The weather has gone by noon. Thomas must have gone to work. He soon woke up from sleep feeling hungry. But before leaving the room, he found a piece of paper on the table. Thomas must have left it for him. Then he read it.
“Fish pool is almost ready, what if accompany me to buy some fish and decorations. If so, I'll be waiting for you in the morning" said Thomas.
Ana was wondering if she would come or not, “ah, the important thing is to eat first.”
Ana goes to the kitchen looking for something to eat. As he opened the refrigerator door, he was taken aback by its contents. He was not sure that this refrigerator belonged to him because the contents of the refrigerator was not at all what he bought. Many fruits that have been peeled and sliced are neatly arranged in clear boxes, there is a box of fruit pudding, a few bottles of ready-to-eat milk, a loaf of bread with some fruit jam. He was hungry as soon as he saw it.
“Sure Thomas did it,” his mouth reviewed a smile, he felt happy. Is this how it feels if someone is watching us? muttered Ana while taking a box of fruit. Thomas had grouped each according to its type just as he took several and placed them on one plate. Could he be bribing me for taking me out tomorrow? hm could be. But this is delicious, he murmured while trying it.
“Do I have to say thank you? I don't have his phone number. But never mind, he fed me means to feed his son too, his obligation, why should I thank you,” he said again looking for reasons to refuse to thank.
“I'm peeing,” said Ana while rushing to the bathroom. But in a hurry, he was not careful.
“BRUK...” his large body fell onto a hard floor. “ADUH..!” peekik Ana, know-know he's already on the floor. He immediately took a long, hard breath to calm himself. Especially when he found that there was red fluid seeping between his thighs, he was getting panicked. “well, I should not panic,” Ana said while trying to get up, but fateful leg turned out to be sprained.
"Well, if I sprain I have to find a handle to be able to get up.” But the one in the room was just a bathtub and the tub looked too fragile to support his body. If I can't move at least I have to block my bleeding, grabbing the towel in the bathroom, folding it up and placing it in the mouth of the uterus hoping it can block the blood out. “Alright, I can calm down now” he said relieved.
This time what should I do? thought Ana wanted to scream but she had to keep her body calm if she screamed for sure the bleeding would be more, wrong - she would bleed out. At this moment he could still calm down as he did not feel any hard contractions in his stomach. All right, I need to call someone, where do I put my phone? he thought trying to remember. Is it in the room? Seems not? Ah, I forgot where I put it, her inner frustration. He was in the room because Thomas was carrying him, surely the phone he put before washing. Oh, myGod! Did I really forget it? He can not rashly move places and spend his energy if it turns out his phone is not there.
Ana is finally desperate. He chose to stay on the cold floor while tapping the dipper many times hoping that someone would hear him. Or someone might come to his house. Evan might be here, Lily? Thomas's? His neighbor? Or anyone.
An hour had passed and no one had come, and Ana was crying. Is it really forbidden for him to feel love, only a while ago he was happy to feel the attention of someone, now he gets distress instead. If I can't count on anyone else, I have to rely on myself, he thought, dragging his body little by little towards the front door. Pain in his heart and stomach held him with all his strength. His heart ached considering that there was no one here when he needed it, only then did he realize he could not live alone. He took a break at every step he took. Half way later, he stopped. He could no longer, his stomach began to hurt. Tears poured down her cheeks. "Oh, God! Send someone for me, I promise I will do anything for him to make up for his help. Please help your servant, send someone for me" he prayed in tears.
