Ana looked at Marius who was standing next to her with an astonished look. He looked at her because Marius was wearing a different outfit than usual at the moment.
It's not the shirt with the tie and the suit he usually wears if it's going to work. Not also a slim fit V neck shirt with trousers that he usually wears when relaxing at home.
Today she wore a white polo shirt with a black blazer with her arms pulled over her elbows and paired with black pants and white sneakers.
Without caring about Ana who had seen her from her left side, she stood up from the terrace of her house while wearing her sunglasses. His right arm was hanging a small black backpack that had no idea what it contained.
One of the Marius cars that are usually parked in the garage under his house, Lamborghini Urus red suddenly came and immediately parked in the carport in front of them.
Ana still continued to pay attention to Marius without saying anything. Now Marius went down the stairs to get to the car, and he went in and put down his backpack.
"Are you going to stand there all day?" asked Marius with his arm resting on the door of his car.
It took Ana 5 seconds to respond to Marius's question, and she still did not fully understand Marius's intentions.
"Why are you?" cried Ana from where she stood.
"You want to go, right? I'm taking you," cried Marius as well.
Ana increasingly does not understand Marius's intentions. He ran down the stairs to Marius. The fairly blinding sunlight behind Marius caused Ana to still have to cover it with her palm.
"Where do you know where I'm going?" asked Ana.
Marius remained silent. He took off his glasses and attached them to Ana. "No. So you just tell me where you're going today, I'll take you."
"It's far away."
"Yes. You said out of town."
"Yes, then you don't have to take me. It's just an annual family event."
Marius picked up the backpack that Ana was holding. "Come in. I'll take you."
"But my destination is many" Ana said again.
Marius, who had gotten into the car after putting down Ana's backpack, pulled out his head through the window of his car. "Let's go in, get some daylight." Then put it back in again.
"How much does Rain go?"
Again, Marius took out his head. "There's Lucas, Tian, and the servants. Don't worry, he'll be fine."
Ana had run out of any more excuses she could give Marius. The choice is now just one, get in the car with Marius. Even until she got into her car, Ana still did not understand what was going on with Marius today.
Marius had already hung his sunglasses on his polo shirt. Ana returned the glasses as soon as she sat in them.
Marius observed Ana's facial features still confused at the thought of the oddity of today. He was waiting for Ana to tell him where they were going.
"So, our first goal?" asked Marius.
"Huh? Oh. ... cake shop on Melati street," replied Ana.
Marius looked at Ana again, sighing in length at Ana who was slow loading today. She leaned over Ana to grab the seat belt beside Ana's seat and put it on.
Ana instantly blushed with Marius' sudden movements. He turned his gaze towards the window to hide it.
Today's trip was actually Ana's trip that she used to do every year. Because tomorrow is the day of her mother's death. And every year, he would go there to visit her.
My mom loves the beach. Therefore, his body was cremated, and his ashes were removed on the beach near his father's villa. While behind the villa facing the beach, his father put a small square headstone engraved with his name and also a photo of his mother.
So every year, Ana would go there the day before, then stay at the villa. The next day, Ana will do her respects on the tombstone, and last walk on the beach before finally returning home.
Every year, he went with his father. But since her papa is now out of nowhere and Ana can't reach him either, so Ana thinks she's forced to go alone this year.
Ana only tells Marius that she will be attending an event outside the city today. And he did not expect, Marius suddenly took the initiative to deliver it without knowing where it was headed. Ana doesn't know why Marius did this? But he doesn't have to do it.
"You're going to look at me all the way?" asked Marius.
"What is your job?"
"There's Lucas."
"Can Lucas handle it? The feeling of all your work you leave to him."
"Who said? He can't certify company documents without my signature."
"So your job's just a signature?"
Marius always answered Ana's questions casually. While Ana had started to get upset because she felt Marius was not really serious about answering her question. Marius could always twist around the answer Ana asked. This was also what happened when Ana first met him.
"Rather than you're dumb. You better tell me where we're going now."
Ana turned her body to look at whatever items she had bought today. There are cakes, flowers, favorite food of his mother and also his father. Ana doesn't know if her papa will come or not. He was used to doing this, so he bought it for his papa.
"All I bought. Just go to the place I gave the map location," replied Ana.
"okay." And the car rolled to where Ana was headed.
The trip to the villa takes about four hours. Molor an hour because Ana asked to stop to eat her favorite chicken noodles at the place she usually eats on the way to the villa. They arrived at the villa at half-time five in the afternoon.
Marius smiled as he looked at the sleeping Ana with his blazer wrapped around Ana's body. Let's take the time to stop in the middle of the road to put it down when he sees Ana is asleep. Slowly she lowered her car seat back so as not to wake her up. So that Ana can comfortably sleep during the trip.
Stop by some places plus a long trip, of course the girl must be exhausted.
Seeing Ana still asleep, Marius got out of the car and brought some stuff in the back seat into the villa. He did it slowly, so that Ana would not be surprised upon waking up.
Moments later, Ana may realize that Marius's car is at a standstill, as Ana now slowly opens her eyes.
"Udah nyampe, huh?," asked Ana who narrowed her eyes looking at the villa in front of her at this time. He sees an empty driver's seat that Ana does not know where Marius is. But, when he saw Marius coming out of the villa, Ana immediately got out of the car.
As Ana descended, a somewhat small-statured middle-aged woman approached her.
"Non Ana, have you come?" asked the woman. Ana smiled at the presence that Ana immediately embraced warmly.
"Bu Ayu is healthy?" asked Ana.
"Healthy, healthy. Non Ana is healthy too, right?," asked Bu Ayu back.
"Yes, Mom," Ana replied with a smile.
Bu Ayu is a local villager who was hired by his father Ana to take care of the villa. On certain days, she and her husband would come to clean. Especially in times like these, he would definitely come for help such as cooking or helping to prepare the need for nyakar.
"Naomi has come, huh Ma?" asked Ana who saw Naomi's car next to Marius's. Naomi comes every year when Ana does this.
"Yes, it's been since then" replied Bu Ayu. "Talk to my father."
"Father?" asked Ana astonished.
"I mean Mother, Mr. Agus, Mother's husband."
Finished talking to Bu Ayu, Ana immediately entered the villa looking for Naomi.
"Nao ... Nao ...," call Ana to look around the room but she doesn't find Naomi.
Ana thinks Naomi may be behind enjoying the beauty of the sunset. Soon Ana ran to the back, and it turned out to be true.
"Nao ..."
Ana calls Naomi who is standing together with a middle-aged man. Despite not seeing his face and only seeing the silhouette of his back body, the shape of the man's body reminded him of his papa.
Ana's call makes Naomi and the man turn to face Ana.
"Hello, dear Ana ...," said the man.
Not believing what she saw, Ana shouted.
"Papa?!?"
......................
Marius who was carrying a bouquet of flowers and cakes that Ana had bought met Bu Ayu in the villa. He put his luggage on the table in the living room.
"Here you come, huh? I helped bring it, yes," said Bu Ayu.
"No need, Mom. Let me be," replied Marius with his charming smile.
Marius would return with the remains of the items that were still left behind and he remembered something.
"Mom, I'll ask for help, don't say anything if you know me, yeah. Don't tell me that Om Doni is here either."
"Oh, yes ..," replied Bu Ayu astonished. "I'm sorry, why?" he continued.
"It's okay. Just a surprise," Marius replied again.
