DEANNA
Deane-23

Deana really did not expect how Adit guessed correctly. The nervousness on Deana's face was increasingly visible. He was worried that there would be something bad after this. With a slow motion, Deana lowered Adit's hand from her arm.

"Bu-no, Mas." Deana turned her face because she did not want Adit to know the lie. "How could Mas Adit accuse your own mama." 

"Of course you can." Adit sigh*hkan breath into the air roughly. "During this time the mama who always set me up had to be close and far with whom. How many times did Raffi's nanny quit because of mama who accused them of working to seduce me." 

Deana just shut up and listened. 

"Here you go, you better get some sleep now and don't leave here if it's not for me to fire you. I pay you, not mama." 

"But, what if Madame Tiara finds out I'm still here, Mas. I'm afraid Mother and Rangga at home will be doomed" Deana said honestly.

The girl was so innocent that she could not lie or just cover everything up. 

"You just calm down. My mom would never do that. He's just scaring you" Adit said, trying to calm Deana's heart. 

"But, Mas ...." 

"Rather than you keep worrying like this. What if mom and Rangga just tell me to come here. If you don't live here, I'll find a contract near here and you won't have to stay. You can come here early in the morning and go home after dinner" Adit suggested.

Deana looked at the man in disbelief. How could Adit have thought that far that even Deana had never thought of. Deana really felt very worried and she asked for time to think things through. 

However, Deana felt in her heart that Adit's advice was the best. He believes that Adit will definitely take care of him and Deana can stay close to her parents. In addition, he was also able to search for his father's whereabouts. 

"Mas, if such as mother and Rangga moved here. What about Rangga school? While if you move here ...." 

"You don't have to worry, De. Because you work for me well then all your needs I will bear. About Rangga school, I will help find a good school and about the cost you do not need to think about it." 

"It must be expensive, Mas." Deana spoke softly even barely audible. 

"Oh, you don't have to think about that. It is better now that you rest and do not think of anything. About mama, let me take care of it," concluded Adit. 

Deana still wants to talk again, but Adit's gone from there. The girl was just silent and looked at Adit's back which slowly moved away from the view while sighing many times. 

"Where's Raffi, Dit?" tanya Tiara welcomed her son's arrival without suspicion. 

The middle-aged woman actually looks cramped when she sees Adit's face that looks lethargic. Tiara felt sure that the look on Adit's face was not excited because Deana had stopped working. 

"Same school Deana," Adit said as he sat his body on the sofa. 

The face of Tiara who had just been a while was now starting to flat suddenly. The woman was upset that her guess was wrong. 

"Oh, then why did you fall here once during working hours?" Tiara began to be suspicious let alone look at her son who had since looked very serious. 

"Ma, I just wanted to say to Mama. Don't interfere too much in my business, Ma. This Adit is already big and not a kid who should always be arranged." Adit started to tell me everything. He did not want the mother to go too far. 

"What do you mean? Don't tell me because of that woman, you're going to defy your mom. You are brave with your mother. Remember, Dit. She's just a lowly woman!" Tiara began to raise her tone. 

"Low woman? Ma, if a woman is fine like Deana, Mama says a lowly woman. What about Sonia? Do you think a good woman is like Sonia? No matter the husband and child. Busy with his own world and importantly cheating. Is a good woman like that?" 

Adit tried hard to resist emotions so as not to overflow. He knew he shouldn't fight back and talk to his mom. However, he also could not if he just kept quiet like this.

"Deana is only a country boy and poor." Tiara still scoffs at Deana without caring about Adit who already looks more furious. 

"Deana may be poor treasure, Ma. But he is not morally poor" said Adit full of assertiveness.

"What did you say? I don't know what pellets were used by the village woman to the extent that you dare to praise her. Though mama is sure that she works it has a certain purpose," said Tiara was not satisfied. 

"Yes, he does have a specific purpose of working in the city, Ma. The first was to pay off his mother's debts and help the economy of his family. The second was because he wanted to find his father who had not come home for decades. Is there something wrong with that?" Adit bravely argued. 

If Adit usually will be silent when the mother vilifies anyone who is Raffi's nanny, but not this time. Adit defends Deana all-out and shows how great a Deana can conquer Raffi's heart and. 

Uh! Adit shook his head to fend off his own thoughts. 

"Don't tell me you've fallen in love with that woman, Dit? My mom never agreed!"
