THE TRAP OF LOVE
#32
The time has shown at half 10 pm, the buyers are also no longer there. In the city of Maastrich is not too crowded at night, but the atmosphere is very safe.
Anna who today is getting a second shift, tidied up the tables and cleaned the last few cups.
Anna has been told by Hanna that Mr. Ken had gone home with the man who had come and talked to him. Anna was quite relieved to hear that the man was gone.
After cleaning up his things and changing clothes. Anna immediately turned off the lights, then locked the door of the coffee shop.
After Anna locked the coffee shop, she turned her body. But he did not expect Gavin to be standing in front of him.
Anna immediately walked away to avoid Gavin. As much as possible, he would stay away from the man.
"Anna ... ," call Gavin.
Anna continued walking, ignoring Gavin
"Anna .. ," call Gavin again.
"Go!" said Anna.
"I need to talk to you."
"There's nothing we need to talk about. We don't know each other and assume we've never met" Anna said.
"But we have to talk" Gavin goes along and follows Anna
Anna, who doesn't want Gavin to follow her all the way home, finally stops her steps.
"Tell me what you want to talk about, Mr. Gavin, then go."
"I'm .. I'm sorry," said Gavin slowly.
"Nothing to forgive. Let's just say it's also my fault, not a hundred percent of your fault.”
"But ... "
"Here, there's nothing more we need to talk about. Excuse me ...," said Anna, then walked away.
Gavin could only see Anna's departure. He had apologized, but his feelings were still not calm, like there was still something big stuck in his heart and mind.
As he looked back towards Anna leaving, he already did not see the figure of the woman.
"The same face, but a different person. Exactly what Gia said."
Anna walked home in silence. He doesn't want to shed any more tears. He will not weep or pity his life. Everyone must have their own way of life and maybe this is the path of life that he must take.
Arriving at home,
"Anna's home!"
"Anna,” call Dad Joe
"Daddy hasn't slept?" ask Anna.
At this time Dad Joe is no longer using a wheelchair, he can walk using an armpit stick or often called a crutch.
"Not yet, Daddy wants to talk to you."
"What's up Daddy? what'd Daddy want to say?"
"Anna, your pregnancy has entered the second trimester, you should not be too tired or go home too late."
"But it's Anna's working hours, Dad."
"Can't you ask Ken to turn your hours into a morning shift?" ask Dad Joe.
"They didn't know about my pregnancy, Dad. I don't want them to privilege me for that either. I want my coworkers to get shifts in turn. They also have their own needs. Don't be because of me, they can't take care of their loved ones" Anna said.
"You're so good Anna. Daddy loves you very much."
"Anna loves Daddy a lot too. Daddy take it easy, Anna will definitely take good care of Anna's content."
"When are you going to check your contents again?" ask Dad Joe.
"Late this week Dad,” Anna replied.
"Your stomach is bigger, though it's not very visible yet. You have to take care of your health, baby," Dad Joe rubbed Anna's head.
"Definitely Dad," Anna hugged Dad Joe, "and it's time for Daddy to take a break, okay."
"Okay," said Dad Joe with a smile.

Gavin stays in his hotel room. For the time being, he will remain in Maastrich. He also did not know what he wanted from the woman.
He apologized for it, but why is there still something stuck. Gavin held her phone tightly, then he contacted Mom Clara.
"Hello, Mommy."
"Yes, baby" replied Mom Clara.
"How's Daddy doing?"
"Can't the doctor wake Daddy?"
"Mommy knows less too. If you look at your Daddy right now, he's like he's in a dreamland. He's asleep. Then, what about you?"
"I'm good Mom. I'm still in Maastrich."
"What are you doing there? you're not going to Amsterdam."
"I'm looking for Mr. Ken, Mum."
"Have you met him?"
"Yes, and I asked her for help in finding Elisha. I wonder if the child he bears is my son."
"Calm down, Mr. Ken will find her soon."
"Mom ... "
"Yes." Yeah."
"If a woman is angry because of our mistake with her, in what way should we apologize."
"Is your apology not accepted, dear?"
"Where did Mommy know?"
"Mommy can feel it from your voice," Mom Clara said softly, "What a woman needs is a sincere apology. They can feel what we're doing."
"I understand Mom, thank you."
“Sama-sama, dear.”

The next day, Gavin takes the time to come back to the coffee shop, where Anna works. He wanted to apologize again to Anna, before he returned to Switzerland.
Earlier this morning, Mom Clara contacted him and said that Dad Chris was conscious. This was truly happy news for the Neutron family.
Gavin has to come back, because he wants to keep Dad Chris and says Dad Chris doesn't have to worry about the company anymore. He wants his Daddy to rest more and take care of his health from now on.
Gavin has been in the coffee shop for 2 hours. He had already consumed 2 cups of coffee and there was no sign of Anna coming.
Is today she on the night shift again? - Inner Gavin.
And sure enough, Anna came to take shifts with Hanna. Today they were just standing guard, as Craig had to take his Grandma check up to a big hospital in the capital.
Their plan to visit Grandma Craig was canceled.
Hanna is currently preparing coffee for the customer and Anna soon changes clothes in order to help Hanna.
"Bri, did I see wrong or did you look fatter?" ask Hanna.
"You're the one who saw it wrong" replied Anna.
"But look, your stomach pokes bigger. Did you eat so much that you were so full."
Anna smiled, "Yes, I eat a lot, because I will have to work until night, so I need a large food intake.”
Hanna laughed at Anna's response.
"Yes, Bri. The man who yesterday, came again," said Hanna.
"The man from yesterday?" Anna knitted her two eyebrows.
"Yes, who met Mr. Ken. Still, sitting at table 10, just like yesterday," Hanna said as she directed her gaze to table 10.
Anna, who was looking at Hanna's vision, looked at Table 10. He did not expect, it turns out Gavin was looking at him, their eyes were clashing.
"Would he meet Mr. Ken again?" ask Hanna.
"I know how. Let it go" replied Anna.
After Hanna came home, Gavin was still there. It makes Anna becomes increasingly uncomfortable with his existence because he is like being watched.
At 5 p.m., Gavin was still there, though he did not order any more food or drinks.
Gavin got up and approached the order reception counter.
"What do you want to order, sir?" ask Anna.
"What are your hours like yesterday?" ask Gavin
"Sorry sir, what do you want to order?"
"I want to talk again. Talk well."
Anna breathed her. Honestly, he had never dealt with a man like this, nor did he want to let this drag on.
Not too many customers, Anna invites Gavin to sit at one of the empty tables near the counter.
