Annanta
Chapter 56

After several hours of Devita's return, Haris and Dika to their respective homes, Elvano brought Anta back to the room. He wanted his wife to rest and take good care of her wounds, so that they could heal quickly.

"Mas, get me down, Mas." Anta with a flushed face asked Elvano to lower it. How not to blush? Elvano carried her in front of Tiara, Ricky and Bi Ijah, and leisurely walked towards their room.

"You're hurt, baby. So, just shut up, okay?"

"Mas, that wound was my arm, not my leg."

"I knew. But, I'm trying to carry you."

Anta took her breath. Arguing with Elvano, he won't win. After all, he was carried and reached the room. Why argue to get down again? Must've been dropped off in bed.

Elvano sat Anta in bed. A satisfied smile appeared on the man's lips. But Anta is just a manyun.

"It's really pretty Elvano's wife" he said, slipping the child's hair behind Anta's ears.

"Not to overdo it."

"Not excessive. Is right indeed. His wife Elvano cantiiik."

Anta gave a smile looking at Elvano's expression. His free hand pinched Elvano's cheek.

"Such a machine, Anta's husband."

"Well, that's a smile. It's getting more beautiful."

"Hehehe... There was-there was. Right there, look at Evan first. If Ricky and Tiaranya want to rest, bring Evan here," said Anta.

"Ready, wife." Elvano did a salute to Anta, making the woman again chuckle.

Elvano kissed Anta's forehead for a moment, then walked out of the room. As he climbed down the stairs, Elvano's phone rang. He immediately grabbed it.

"Hallo, sir."

"Hm."

"Miss Viona was hit by a car while we were chasing her."

"Then?"

"He died, sir."

"Died?" Elvano was quite surprised by the news delivered by his man. Vionna's dead? He doesn't believe it, but he will make sure of it.

"Urus. Send your addresses. I'll be there."

"Good, sir."

Elvano ended the call and then turned around, returning to the room.

"Lho's? Where's Evan, Mas?" ask Anta, when her husband returns without Evan.

"Darling, Evan's just like Tiara was with Ricky. You rest here, okay. If they want to rest, I will ask Bi Ijah to take care of Evan. Mas want to go for a while," said Elvano while cupping Anta's face.

"Where are you going?"

"Mas wants to make sure Vionna's really dead or not."

"Huh? I-I mean Mas, isn't Vionna dead?"

Elvano. "Mas told people to find Vionna. The guy just called Mas if Vionna died getting hit by a car."

"Oh Allah, what a mess Vionna. Yes, there you are. Help take care of Vionna's body. Kasian, Mas."

Elvano stared at his wife's face. He stared fixedly at the beautiful face that was now covered with a worried and pity look.

"Mas, why are you looking at me?"

"You're too good, baby. Vionna's been hurt by you, and you're still asking me to take care of the body" Elvano said.

"Mas, everyone never makes mistakes. People who make mistakes, we can not always be good. If we can forgive, why should we take revenge?"

"I'm grateful to have a wife like you" Elvano said.

Anta smile. "I'm also grateful to have a husband like you, Mas" he said. "Come, go there. You have to be careful with your car. Can't speed it up."

"definitely. I'll be careful" replied Elvano. He approached and kissed Anta once more. After that, he grabbed his car keys and walked out of the room.

Anta was silent in front of the dining table, not tasteful to taste the food in session. Tiara, Ricky and Bi Ijah who were feeding Evan also looked in wonder at Anta.

"Sister Anta." Tiara who sat close to him called out while touching his hand. Made Anta wake up from her dimness, and turned to Tiara.

"What's wrong? Why don't you eat?" tiara.

"Sister no longer wants to eat," replied Anta lethargic.

"Do you want to, son? Auntie's cooking isn't good?" ask Bi Ijah. Anta is not usually like this.

"Not that, Bi. Aunt's cooking must be delicious. But Anta no longer wanted to. Maybe because Mas El hasn't come home yet" replied Anta.

"Want Ricky help you call Elvano's sister, brother?"

Anta shakes. "No need. Mas El went to take care of Vionna's body."

"Huh? Miss Vionna's dead, son?" bemused Bi Ijah. Just this morning they met and Vionna hurt Anta's arm. Now, the woman is dead.

"Yes, Bi. Mas El's man who was told."

"Oh Allah, true Kasian" said Bi Ijah.

In the front yard, Elvano put his car into the garage, then entered the house. His steps were directed towards the dining room.

"Mas El," Anta's smile was instantly etched on her lips. The woman got up and walked over to her husband.

"His body is finished in the grave, is it?"

Elvano. "Udah."

"Huufth... It's very difficult for Vionna" said Anta.

Elvano rubbed Anta's hair softly. "Don't think about him anymore. Come on, eat first. Have you eaten?"

Anta shook her head slowly. "Not yet."

"Why not?" Elvano grabbed Anta's hand and invited her to sit on the dining table chair.

"I don't want to eat anymore."

"Eat, huh? You're sick, baby."

"Mas bribe," said Anta.

Elvano was silent for a moment. He looked at his wife's face. "The truth is bribed?" asked Elvano convincingly. He hesitated a bit at Anta's request. It was not usual for his wife to behave like this.

Anta nodded. He pushed his plate towards Elvano, then opened his mouth. Bi Ijah, Ricky and Tiara put on a smile at Anta's behavior.

Elvano gently fed his wife. Just a few tablespoons of food that Anta ate. After that, the woman shook her head, not wanting to eat anymore.

"Papa... Mamma... Mamma... Mam.." chanted Evan as he looked at his Papa who was still persuading Anta to eat.

"Evan wants another mam, son?" ask Anta softly. His uninjured right hand stretched out rubbed Evan's head.

Evan shakes. Evan stalls his hand, asking Anta to carry him.

"Young man with aunty, yes. Mama is sick again," said Bi Ijah.

"It's okay, Bi, Evan is just like Anta," said Anta. "Please help Evan sit on Anta's lap, Bi."

"Let me go" said Elvano. The man wakes up, then lifts Evan into Anta's lap. The boy immediately hugged Anta after sitting on the lap of the mother.

"Yes, carried by Mama? A few days ahead, hug me, yeah? Mama's arm hurts again" said Anta, kissing Evan's head.

Elvano rubbed his son's head. " It's okay. Bentar Evan sleeps with Mama and Papa, okay? Evan can hug Mama as much," exclaimed Elvano.

"Oh yes, Tiara forgot to know Kak Elvano and Kak Anta. Tiara found the box in the drawer under the table in Tiara's room."

"Box? What's it say?" ask Elvano. He never kept anything in that room.

"Nea doesn't know it."

"After eating, we see the same content" said Elvano.

***

After eating, everyone gathered in the living room. Bi Ijah had taken his leave after finishing berberes aided by Tiara. Evan is still in the same position, which is in Anta's lap. The difference is, it was in the dining room while now in the living room.

Tiara came from her room carrying the box she was referring to. He put it on the table, right in front of Elvano and Anta.

Elvano immediately grabbed it and opened the box. In the box, there is a piece of mail and an album in front of which reads happy birthday Elvano. He was sure, it was Raka's. Elvano grabbed the letter and read it.

Happy birthday, my beloved sister. May you be more handsome than Papa but not more than me. May all your life affairs be smooth. I always wish you the best. The gift is not as expensive as the care of Mama and not as luxurious as Papa's villa. But the prize is more precious than the jewel.

I purposely put it in this room. I hope you find yourself or someone else can too.

A smile appeared on Elvano's lips. Looking at the date, it was his birthday which was his last birthday with his brother.

Elvano opens the album. A smile appeared on his lips. His brother was very random. But really, this album will be a valuable gift for him.

"Papa. Paa... Paa.." Evan said. He pointed towards the album. Makes Elvano look at him.

"Yes, Son. This is Papa, and this is your Papi" Elvano pointed to himself and pointed to a picture of Raka.

Tiara and Ricky eat each other because they don't understand. The one who saw him smiled.

"Bang Raka, he's Mas El's brother, Evan's real father," Anta said.

"You mean Brother Anta?" ask Ricky and Tiara at the same time.

Anta looked at Elvano. When her husband nodded, she began to tell him some of the stories about who Evan really was.
