BODYGUARD IMPRINT
Rejected

Anna was silent when she heard her son mention "Papa" in his sleep. His heart was pinched and thought that his son was missing him dearly. There were no tears Anna had dripped on her smooth cheeks. While bi Siti and Raja were pounding when they heard the Sultan call "Papa" in his sleep.

"Hem... already bi.. I have to take care of patients again.." said Anna after she could calm herself.

Actually from his voice it was clear if Anna was holding back crying. Bi Siti who realized it felt troubling. Perhaps Anna was still unsuspecting of her son's mannerisms but the sadness of her heart was evident by bi Siti. The king seemed silent. Hearing Anna's voice that was like holding back a cry also made her heart hurt. But he felt powerless.if he was honest now then all his efforts during this time would be in vain. Julio has not received his sentence...

Anna and the Sultan would not be safe with him. Let him temporarily meet his son and Anna secretly. As long as the safety of both is awake.

"Master.." bi Siti tried to resuscitate the King who seemed to dissolve in her daydream.

"Eh yes bi?"

"Master would like to have lunch here with the Sultan?" ask bi Siti pleasantries to divert the mind of the King who is in a state of turmoil.

Because it has become a habit since the man returned will always have lunch with his son.

"Yes bi.. I will have lunch with the Sultan as usual." said the King.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Hem.. if you can same asem vegetables fried salted fish and sambal bi..."

"Okay sir.. I will cook it.." said bi Siti then she immediately went to the kitchen to cook.

"I'm sorry Honey Bee. You must have suffered so much all this time." The king looked at the face of his son who was still asleep.

In the hospital...

Anna had just finished examining her last patient when a nurse came and told her that someone was looking for her. Anna looked confused. No one from his family would tell him if he would come to see him.

"Who's sus?" asked Anna curiously.

"I don't know, but he's a man and it looks like he's from Indo.." explained the nurse.

Anna decided to meet the man. When he saw the person who wanted to see him, he was surprised.

"Devan.." he murmured softly.

Feeling that someone was approaching him from behind, Devan turned around and immediately smiled when he saw Anna coming closer. But his smile instantly faded when he saw Anna's face that looked flat.

"Hi Ann.." she said with an awkward smile.

"What do you need to see me for?" asked Anna without saying anything.

"Hem can't you be a little friendly with me, Ann? I've come all the way here deliberately to meet you, you know." Devan said a little whining.

Anna exhaled slowly, this is what she feared when she lost the King. There would be other men who wanted to approach her, and Anna really didn't like it. He wants the King to be his first and last love. There was a Sultan who always reminded her of her husband.

"All right.. Now what do you want?" ask Anna slowly.

"May I take you out to dinner?" ask Devan directly.

"I'm sorry I can't. You know, I have a baby that I can't stay except for work.." Anna refused.

"Then can I visit your place? I also want to see your son." Devan said without giving up.

Actually Anna was caught off guard, but she could not forbid the man to visit her apartment.

"Alright." said Anna at last.

"Good... What time do you come home? let me pick you up"

"Four hours." said Anna who did not want to argue for long with Devan.

"OK.. I picked up at four.." Devan said with a happy smile.

Anna sighed softly. His head suddenly felt dizzy after his encounter with Devan.

"I have to do something so that he doesn't expect more from me." - Anna's inner self as she tidied up her things when she was coming home.

Just as Anna was coming out of the hospital, Devan approached her in the hospital yard. The man looked very handsome with his casual appearance. Makes many women immediately look at him full of cravings. His charm is no doubt. Only Anna was unaffected. And that's what makes the guy always curious.

"Come on!" take her with him while extending his hand to Anna.

But the woman just passed him and chose to walk first. Devan pulled his hand back while smiling wryly. But not long because he immediately caught up with Anna and lined up the steps of the woman.

"Do you know which one is my car?" devan asks Anna.

The woman stopped her steps.

"Can't I wait for you to pick up your car up ahead?" point Anna at the hospital parking exit.

Devan looks silent dead flea. With Anna, he was always missteps. And she always had a way of always contradicting him.

"Well, I'll take my car first." Devan said at last.

He immediately headed to where his car was parked. Anna appears to be contacting bi Siti. He told the middle-aged woman that he would go home with his friend who wanted to visit. Bi Siti also understood and she immediately prepared dinner with more portions because of the arrival of guests.

Devan soon came by his car and immediately opened the passenger door beside him. Anna walked in and sat in the passenger seat. Devan then drove his car out of the hospital. During the journey, the two were silent to each other. Anna who prefers to look out through the window beside him makes Devan reluctant to start inviting him to talk.

Arriving in front of the apartment building, the two immediately got down from the car. Anna seemed to step straight without waiting for Devan who just turned off the car engine. The man seemed to be breathing slowly. I don't know what sin makes Anna always cold and tight on him. The two were silent while in the elevator to the floor where Anna's apartment was located.

"Assalamualaikum.." said Anna as she entered her apartment.

"Ma.ma.ma.." call the Sultan to Anna.

Anna was delighted that her son was calling her mom this time.

"Wait a minute baby.mama change clothes first." Anna told the Sultan.

Soon the woman went into her room and brought a change of clothes and went to the bathroom to clean herself. Devan seemed misbehaved because he felt ignored.

"Ehem..." Devan deliberately cleared his throat to remind his whereabouts.

"Eh..." Anna turned to Devan before she could enter the bathroom.

"I'm sorry. Please sit down first." said Anna invited Devan.

Devan nodded with a small smile and sat down on the living room sofa. Bi Siti put Sultan in a special chair before leaving the baby to make drinks for Devan. Before long the middle-aged woman came out of the kitchen carrying a drink.

"Please drink, sir." he said politely.

"Yes thank you bi.." said Devan.

Devan seemed awkward to be with baby Sultan. It would seem that the man had never been close to a child. While the Sultan seemed to ignore Devan's presence. The baby was even engrossed in playing his toys placed on a table connected to his chair.

Anna came out of the bathroom, changed her clothes, and went to her son and held the baby.

"Mommy's son today is fussy no?" tanyanya swiped her nose on the Sultan's cheek.

The baby immediately laughed and showed his toothless tooth. It seems that Sultan misses his mother after not being together all day. Devan again feels alienated when he sees Anna who is engrossed with her son without realizing his presence which is also there.

"Ehem... So what's your son Ann's name?" asked the impatient Devan as he felt neglected.

"Oh sorry I forgot there's a big brother here." said Anna, taking her son to the couch.

"His name is Sultan." continued Anna while still playing her hand with the Sultan.

"Hi Sultan! this is Devan, greetings know yah" said Devan as he reached out his hand trying to reach the tiny hand of the Sultan.

"Have you washed your hands?" anna asked, stopping Devan's hand.

Devan immediately retracted his hand and touched his nape because he felt bad.

"I'm sorry I forgot.." she said later.

"Better brother wash hands first there." said Anna while showing her place to Devan.

The man passed by to clean his hands. Anna is busy playing with her son. Without realizing it, someone is currently holding back his anger because he saw Devan's whereabouts in Anna's apartment. The man seemed to be wringing his jaw as it held back his anger. Although it is clear that Anna did not respond to Devan at all but still the King was angry with Devan's overt attitude trying to get close to Anna.

After dinner and the Sultan's sleep, it was time for Anna and Devan to talk together. Anna wants to get things done so Devan doesn't expect her. Although he knew it would be difficult because Devan was a stubborn man.

"Ann... Can I have a serious talk?" devan asked, opening the conversation.

"Yes?"

"May I come here often?"

"Why?"

"I want us to get closer to Anna. You know..."

"But I can't sister.I still love my husband.." said Anna firmly.

"But he can't be with you anymore, Anna, and you need someone who can take care of you and your son..."

"I can take care of myself sis.. and about the Sultan.he will only know the King as his father.not anyone else" Anna said a little loudly.

He did not accept being considered weak and his son seemed to lose the affection of his father. Although lately the Sultan has always called "Papa" but he is sure if his affection will not make the Sultan lose the figure of a father because his family is always beside him to bestow affection on his son. What if he had returned to Indo.

Devan seemed speechless with Anna's reply. The man wants to fight back his love for Anna even though she is now a widow and has a son.

"Can't you think about it anymore Ann?" devan said in a desperate tone because for the umpteenth time Anna rejected him.

Anna shook her head firmly. He must make the man before him understand that whatever he does to reach his heart is in vain. For whenever the King is the only one who has his heart.

"I'm sorry if you're disappointed again.but until now the King still owns my heart." replied Anna.

Devan breathed his coarse breath. Actually, he had suspected this before, but still he still wanted to try it was possible that the woman would be destroyed in the name of her son.

"Well Anna. if it's your decision, but I hope we can still be friends and if we meet again I hope your cold attitude will be reduced." Devan said with a chuckle.

"Hemm.it will happen if you no longer expect more from me." said Anna.

"Well, hopefully after this my heart will be open to another woman Anna..."

"Milk..."

"Well, then I'll go home Ann"

"Yes, my dear. and sorry for letting you back down..."

"It's okay..."

Devan then stepped out of Anna's apartment with the woman delivered to the front door.
