Anna, Hug Me
Episode 30's

🌻🌻🌻

"How's your friend doing?" anna asked as soon as she and her daughter were ready for bed. Talking on the bed before going to bed, it is always worth doing to relieve pressure and burden all day.

"She has successfully had surgery, but for a while she has to recover her health first. I intend to help him until he can move back."

"If you're too busy for your college, you can hire a nurse to help your friends, so you can be more comfortable later," Anna suggested. Although he knew his daughter loved his friend very much but as a mother he also did not want his daughter to be exhausted due to activities beyond her ability.

"Hm, actually that's good too. My college schedule is too tight. Instead of helping him, I might make myself sick" Angel murmured.

"So come here, mama will embrace you. You can sleep well now," Anna said as she spread her arms. Angel smiled cheerfully like a child and threw herself into the arms of her mother.

"Today was so heavy" Angel murmured.

"Just relax you're a strong girl you can get through it all."

"Hm, actually this time it's not about Paula but about Dima."

"The five? why with him?" anna asked in surprise. "Did you meet him? Isn't he an apprentice in another city?"

"So he called me."

"What's he saying?"

"I ... " Angel paused for a moment. He hesitated to be honest. Even so, he continued his story. "It seems I've made a misunderstanding."

"meaning?"

"Dima asked me if I had a boyfriend. I said no but he kept asking me as if I was lying, I felt angry at him for not believing me so I said yes. 'Yes, that I was dating that senior'. It's just that when I said it I didn't know that Senior I meant that it was there, so the senior heard my statement as well. A few minutes earlier, the senior had just confessed that he liked me and was waiting for my answer. As a result of my reckless speech Dima was angry with me and senior misunderstood. I'm so confused how to straighten it out."

Anna tightened her embrace as her daughter was slightly shaken as she recounted.

"The answer is in your heart. Who do you really like. Where is your heart really anchored? The only one who knows the answer to all these questions is you. Ask your heart, dear ... "

"I ... " Angel wanted to carry on but he ended up biting his lips and continued his words in his heart. I liked Dima, I think I loved him ...

"Stay away from Dima if you are unsure of your heart!" anna said as she saw Angel not answering.

"What!" Angel was shocked when her mother said that. The statement struck his heart. He had not yet said his heart out loud, he was already forbidden. "But why?" he continued not understanding.

"Mama and papa Dima were once engaged" Anna said. He was planning to say it when his daughter grew up. Engagement that only a handful of people know.

" ... "

Angel could only go silent without a word in surprise. Was his mother ever engaged to Papa Dima? Although now he knows the reason where the familiarity of his mother and Om Theo came from. But how can it be?

"So mama please, don't hurt Dima like mama hurt Om Theo."

Angel breaks away from her mother's arms when a bad scenario crosses her brain about how her mother ended up marrying her father instead of Om Theo.

"Did mama have an affair with papa?" ask Angel. He was also surprised by what he said but he hoped his mother's answer was not what he thought.

"What happened to Mama and Om Theo that you split up? And she was married to Papa instead of Om Theo" Angel asked. He was very curious. I don't think he'll be able to sleep if he doesn't know the truth tonight.

"There was a misunderstanding that we couldn't clear up in the first place so we failed to maintain our relationship. So, my daughter, settle the misunderstanding lest you regret it later" Anna said.

"Is mom sorry?" ask Angel. He looked up at his mother. The dimly lit room made him unable to clearly see what expression his mother had shown but he could see those eyes glittering slightly. Are those tears? Did your mother regret it? or is her mother still sorry?

"Mama never regretted having you, baby. Mama won't regret being a part of this family."

"Hm, thank God" said Angel, hugging her mother once again and preparing to sleep. Anna is too. Silence then covers the entire room when the mother and child are asleep.

Shortly afterwards, Angel opened her eyes. He was pretending to be asleep. He looked towards his mother who was sleeping.

Angel was still thinking about her mother's words. Her mother asked her to stay away from Dima if she wasn't serious. But his heart had just admitted that he had fallen in love with Dima. But the feeling of love that he had just realized was it really love? he hesitated to go forward if it turns out he even hurt Dima more if it turns out his feelings are not that sincere.

Angel took a long breath.

Does Dima also know if his father was engaged to his mother?

Looks like Dima doesn't know, Angel denied. If Dima knew, how could Dima have adored him for that long.

Angel also has to think about Ryan. How can he face his senior tomorrow? should he say that his words were just lies. If his words were just a lie, then how cruel he was to play with someone's feelings. The moment senior heard him admit that, didn't senior already wish for him. Can he give a satisfactory explanation to Ryan?

Ah, my head is throbbing, Angel's mind is twitching her temple. He's looking for blindfolds in the nightstand drawer. At least he would be able to sleep if his eyes closed. Soon he fell asleep due to exhaustion.

"Don't tell mom, sister," Pinta Dima as Tonny helps her clean up. Today was exhausting. He also felt guilty for his brother.

"Just calm! You can trust me. After all if I say it, then I will be scolded. It's been quick now to wear the shirt, take the medicine and go to sleep" Tonny ordered as she pulled out the shirt to wear Dima.

Dima complied and wore the shirt without protest.

"Sister, will you sleep with me?" bring Dima.

"Why? are you afraid to sleep alone?" joke Tonny.

"It looks like it is, yes" Dima replied while putting on a faint smile.

"Have! wait here I'll change. And don't forget to take the medicine or you'll have a headache the next day."

"Good!"

But when Tonny returned he saw that Dima was sleeping.

Tonny rubbed Dima's hair with a pity. His cousin was a good and straight man like his uncle. He was afraid because heartache made Dima become out of control. Looks like he has to teach Dima something good. Yeah, so as not to be a bad boy like him.

Too bad a boy as good as Dima has to experience a complicated love story. But Dima is still young, at least he can definitely find real love someday , hopefully, Tonny's prayer in heart. He lay on the side of an empty bed and soon fell asleep following his cousin.
