DEANNA
Deane-22

Adit was silent and felt guilty. He regretted being self-aware that he had spoken out and accused Deana of being outrageous. Though in his heart Adit felt confident that Deana would not be possible to do that. 

"Sorry, Mas. I can't tell who that guy is. So, this is the money for Mas Adit and I asked for my home certificate to be returned because I will return home immediately" said Deana Lirih. 

He did not look at Adit. Between fearing that his heart will melt or worrying that he will again feel pain because he remembered Adit's accusation just now.

"Nr ...." Adit hung up his words and looked at Deana very closely and took a deep breath. "Please don't get out of here. I don't know who to ask for help to look after Raffi. I feel happy because with your presence, I became helped even you can babysit Raffi very well." 

"I'm just doing the job I can, Mom. Sorry, I'm sure there will be a better replacement for me, ma'am." Deana remained adamant about her decision. 

Honestly, Deana felt sorry if she had to go from there. Of course Adit will hit the ground running and Raffi. So even with Raffi who will lack affection. Deana understands because Raffi's position is not much different from his own position. 

"alright. Even if you want to leave here, I won't forbid because that's your right. I'm so grateful that you've been working so well all this time." Adit can only resign and no longer want to force Deana to stay with him.

"Thank you very much, Mommy. This is the money." Deana handed the brown envelope she had been holding to Adit. "Counted first, Mas." 

"No. I don't need to count them anymore." Adit chimed in quickly. His gaze towards Deana was still very attached to make the girl become his own misbehavior. "When are you going to get out of this house?" 

Deana did not answer. Her lips are still silent because actually in Deana's heart still heavy to go from the house. He was comfortable there. But what can I do. He alone made that decision.

"Maybe tomorrow, Mommy." 

"Then, fine. Coincidentally there's something I told you too. I've been informed that your father has not worked in his place for more than ten years. I don't know where it is right now and I'm telling someone to look for it, but since you stopped working here then I'll tell that person to stop looking as well," adit said with a sly smile.

"If you really want me to keep helping you look for it." Adit slightly advanced his face to a distance close to Deana. With a cool style, Adit rubbed his chin while waiting for a smile. "Then stay here." 

Deana. His face was filled with worry. It was a hard choice for him. It was very desirable that he found the existence of the father, but if he looked for it himself it was impossible. The city is big, not like in the village. Meanwhile, if he stays at Adit's house, Deana does not dare to imagine what Tiara did to hurt her mother and sister in the village.

"Mas, don't give me a hard choice." Deana put on a face. 

"I didn't make a hard choice. I just follow your will. Now, tell me what's the most basic reason why you want to stay away from me?" Adit still feels unsatisfied.

Inhaling deeply was done by Deana so that her chest did not feel too heavy. "Mas, I'm just worried that if we stay together, then I'll put more of a sense of a Raffi nanny on you. I don't want to be slapped by circumstances because it must be very painful. I should have realized that we are so different and not worthy to be together. Mas Adit's parents must expect a proper son-in-law to be with you, Mas." 

"You love me?" Adit's question made Deana shake her head quickly. 

"I don't dare, Mom. Just imagined I would feel unworthy. I know myself that we are so different. You're the sky, while I'm just the earth being trampled." Deana stood up. He did not want their conversation to go any further. However, just one step walking, Adit had already directly blocked his hand.

"It seems like I know who the person who told you to leave me is" Adit said, causing Deana to turn over and look at him.

"Who?" asked Deana nervously. He really could not if he had to look at Adit like that. 

"My mother."
