..."Look, you're hurting Anna again. Don't you want to give up?"...

..."Nah! It's just a small matter. I'm wrong and I'll decide what I'm gonna do."...

...🍁🍁🍁...

"Why do we have to move, Dad?" ask the girl who is wearing her warm clothes with the help of the nanny. When Anna woke up from her sleep, she was shocked by her clothes that had been stuffed into a suitcase.

After his father came home from the funeral, not with Anna, the extended family of his own wife was still there, mourning the rapid departure of their daughter. Ryan left first and returned home. Today's unfortunate incident seemed to be ignored by Ryan. There was also not a look of sad face imprinted on his face as he left from there.

"Dad, why do we have to move?" anna asked her father who was busy stuffing important items into the suitcase. Ryan who was disturbed then looked sharply at Anna.

"There's nothing I can say Anna. We have to move out and you're going with me. This house I'm going to sell and we're moving to Bandung."

Anna who did not understand very well the situation that occurred let out a rough sigh. His left hand still clasped the photo of his mother.

"Auntie, what you said just now is true? Why should I move. If we leave the house, Mommy will come here."

What was going on the night they went to the night market really Anna doesn't remember. I don't know what happened, which is clear since leaving there, Anna was unconscious and had been treated at home for several hours.

Even Ryan who did not expect Anna did not remember it actually made up the story to Anna that Naura was out of town.

Ryan didn't say what happened. While Bi Rina who heard Anna's words just now squatted down, aligned her height in front of Anna.

"No Non. Mother will not run anymore. Mother non Anna is fine. Like dad said earlier Mother again outside the city," explained Bi Rina lying.

"We'll meet Mommy there huh Bi?" Bi Rina quickly nodded. He was actually unable to but this was a direct order from his employer not to say anything to Anna.

"Anna?" The sound from the doorway of the house that opened wide made Anna turn her head. Ryan who finished with his activity also looked towards the door. There, a young boy slowly approached Anna.

"You want to move, Anna? Where are you going?" Anna approached the boy. Grab his hand and start talking.

"Anna won't go far, Prince. Anna's coming with dad. Anna will be back here. We can play like yesterday again" Anna said softly. The boy suddenly cried and hugged Anna tightly.

"You have to promise to come here. If not, I'll be there to see you with Mother's father. We promised we wouldn't leave each other."

"I promise so don't cry anymore. We'll meet again." Anna wiped the tears that fell on the cheek of the boy.

"Titip Anna's stuff yeah. If Anna comes back, Anna will take everything. Don't lose it. If you're missing you'll have to change." The boy smiled and hugged Anna tightly for the last time.

"Anna! let's hurry we have to go" exclaimed his father, who dragged two large suitcases out of the house. Three black vans were already waiting outside. Bi Rina stood near Anna and grabbed the child's hand, led him out and passed from before the boy there.

"Anna..." The last call from the little boy behind Anna was heard, but he ignored the voice and continued to leave the house.

Not yet Anna got in the car, the arrival of Tante made Anna's hand grip detached from Bi Rina's hand. Anna was surprised and Ryan was too. The little girl looked up at her Tanten face.

"You can't take Anna away, Ryan! Anna will come with me" said the woman named Saras, strengthening her grip on Anna's hand.

"Aunty? Aunty wants to come with Anna too, huh? Said Dad earlier we will move from this house continue to meet Mother in Bandung...."

Saras looked at Anna with watery eyes. Anna doesn't understand the situation. The woman lowered her head slightly, brought herself closer to Anna then cupped her two cheeks softly.

"You're staying with Aunty, Anna..."

"But Aunt... Anna wants to see Mommy there. The word of Mother's father is in Bandung," Anna told Saras. Saras sealed and lowered his head.

"Your mother is gone, dear.." continued Saras in his heart.

"Get your hands off!"

Ryan came and looked unhappy to see Saras near Anna. Ryan quickly pulled Anna behind him and coded Bi Rina carrying Anna in the car.

Anna got in and the car was directly in the lock from the inside. The woman immediately growled annoyed at what happened.

"For the sake of your own happiness you would do that to my family, Ryan-You conspired with those thugs to make Naura die. I know you've arranged all this just to seize Naura's company so that everything can be in your name and you can marry your mistress. Aye, right?"

"What did you say?! You think I married Naura because of what your sister has? I'm sneaking-"

"Omong empty all that!" saras screeched through Ryan's words, which seemed to evade his truth.

"Naura saw everything you've done behind her. My sister's not a stupid woman like you, Ryan. She's an educated woman and you arranged all this to be with the woman you're cheating on!"

"What would happen if I told Anna the truth? Will Anna consider you her father? I guess not. You're nothing more than a murderer! A father who could finish off his own wife to be able to live with the woman he cheated on!"

Saras moved towards the car. Pushing at the door repeatedly and making Anna in the car kept wondering at Bi Rina. "Open the door, Bi Rina! Anna can't go with her father. Openaa!!!"

"Go you!" Ryan pulled and pushed the woman roughly until she fell on the marble floor.

"If you still want Anna back, keep this attitude of yours. Until you dare to do the no-no, Anna will be in danger. You understand!" After saying that, Ryan got into the car. Then two cars in the back followed out of the courtyard of the mansion.

"Fuck you, Ryan! You'll get the reward for all this you've done..."

...🍁🍁🍁...

A few years later. Bandung City in 2022. At the Williams residence.

Tonight at exactly nine o'clock past thirty, Aunt Rina as Anna's nanny since childhood stepped up a row of stairs to the room on the second floor of the first row on the left. The old, wrinkled hand was raised knocking on the door in front of him.

"Non Anna, this is Aunt bringing her dinner. From this morning Bibi saw non not yet breakfast anything. Come out non..."

The woman in the room was sitting cross-legged in her study. Hearing a voice from behind the door Anna lazily moved and opened the door.

He looked at the woman's face a moment ago after his bead dropped on a tray of white rice, a piece of chicken breast, boiled broccoli and a glass of white milk in Bi Rina's grip.

At the age of seventeen, Anna grew up to be a beautiful teenage girl with her proportionally body - having a crooked bangs and wavy jet-black hair dangling down to her back.

It also has a pointed nose with slightly thick pink lips and tapered cheeks with a sharp jawline. All of those near-perfect creations are actually descended from Naura, the motherland.

"Why bother anyway Bi prepared all this. Anna can take her own food to the kitchen. No need to send auntie here. It's ten o'clock, too" said Anna.

"It's precisely because it's ten o'clock in the evening aunty came here to deliver non food. Until last night, I didn't eat."

"...Yesterday was like that too. Non said no longer, Aunt waitin too, but until ten o'clock non not down to eat. Pas Aunty checks into her taunya room non overslept. Come on, Non eat first the food yeah. Aunty's afraid that she won't get sick."

"Anna really isn't hungry. Aunty who ate yes let Anna continue to study again," said Anna. He who was about to close the door was restrained because Bi Rina's hand quickly held the door and made Anna sigh slowly.

"Auntie will not leave this room if this food has not been exhausted. Just let Auntie get tired of standing here."

Anna rolled her eyes lazily. After weighing for a while, Anna opened the room door wide and grabbed the tray from the woman's hand. "Then Aunt came in and Anna's friend ate."

Anna walked first into her room, followed by Aunt Rina from behind, entering the room with a black feel. There is no corner of the room that is not black.

The room was painted blue and white with lots of dolls filling the room. But since her father changed her attitude, Anna insisted on changing the design of the room and burning all her father's gifts.

Many decorations made of origami paper are attached to the wall and hang on the ceiling of the room. Two bookshelves were also lined up on the right of the bed.

"When haven't you been doing all this?" tanya Bi Rina was still paying attention to the ceiling of Anna's room that was so beautiful.

"It's been a long time Bi but recently Anna has time to decorate this room. Anna joined so do everything in one day so Anna this daily in the room. This is what Anna did."

He nodded slowly and then looked at his small nonanya hand that put a mouthful of rice in his mouth and so repeatedly that the plate and bowl of clean broccoli were left unnoticed.

"If non daily study but forget to fill the stomach all will be free non. Learning also requires energy. Preventing is easier than treating," Bi Rina says.

"Yes, even my Aunt is old. Everything is already wrinkled," Bi Rina replied. Anna suddenly chuckled softly. Bi Rina rarely saw the girl laughing softly usually also Anna would put on a cold face flat.

"I'm sorry Anna, if you keep bothering Auntie."

"There is no such thing as nyusahin Non. It's Aunt's job to take care of and keep non, like Aunt's promise to her late mother Non first."

"...your mother was worse when it came to eating. You are still good at not choosing food. If your mother doesn't like greasy food, she wants boiled. Auntie is always overwhelmed by arranging food every day. If sick and Aunt begging for mercy, tired of non."

Anna was pensive to hear it. For decades indeed he lived with his mother even since Anna was born in this world he still works with Naura.

Anna also glanced at the photo of Naura near the bed. Another week was the anniversary of his mother's death and he had to come to his funeral as usual. He will go to Jakarta. He does this routine once a year.

"When did he say Bi's father came home?" anna asked Bi Rina who grabbed the tray over her thigh.

"If it's not wrong you said he came home tomorrow afternoon or the day after. Can't get a call from my dad?"

Anna shakes. "Dad rarely talked to Anna Bi. I went straight to my room and tomorrow morning I'm not home."

"Patient is non. I pray that you change quickly and come back the way you were. Aunty was also confused as to why the master could arrive like that when there was no mistake that non-Anna did."

"Anna who made Mother died Bi. That's why I'm like that to Anna."

Silent. Bi Rina could not say anything. Had they not gone to the market that night Naura might still be alive today, but fate says otherwise. Anna had to lose her mother in life.

The large room was so silent after Anna said it blatantly, that the touch on her shoulder shifted the girl's eyes. Anna looked at Bi Rina with sadness.

"All the events that have passed have nothing to do with the non-even your late mother even though there is no intention to go that fast, but that is sacrifice. You should be aware of what you have done before, not even blame you until now."

"Have not thought on. Now no break yes. It's already midnight. If so, excuse me, good night, non Anna."

...🍁🍁🍁...

After fifteen minutes Anna was silent on the edge of the bed, the girl also chose to rest by lying lazily on the bed while her fingers lentiknya playing on the screen of her cellphone.

Six months later, he did not go to school. Missing school as usual, many photos of his classmates he saw through his fake account on social media.

Ever since the events that befell her two years ago with so many problems going on, her father firmly took the far-fetched step of forbidding Anna to go to school and disappear from civilization. Never been seen out of the house for half a year, except for the city's secret library and the company of some of his father's bodyguards.

The blue phone on the table vibrates. Soon maybe Anna picked it up. "Halo Bi-" said Anna.

The reply heard from across the phone made Anna mute. Hearing Bi Rina's words over the phone, her hands immediately trembled. He thought his father really did not go home as Bi Rina said it turned out he was wrong. What Anna did not expect happened.

Inexplicably hearing her father's name, Anna was always afraid. He then walked to the window, saw his father's car was in front of the gate of the house. The car entered the garage.

Why did he not realize his father had come home? Pimply. Anna started to panic on her own. With her heart pounding, Anna quickly sat in her study chair and grabbed all sorts of question books she often did.

This time he must not make a mistake, considering every time he was wrong his father did not bear to punish him. Both of his hands were busy working on the matter. I don't know why he could be this scared if he met his father. Moreover, the shadow when his father tortured him three days ago. Anna could not remember it.

His hand shook holding his liquid pen. Anna has had a mild tremor since she often gets violence from her father and even friends at her school. He was treated so badly that Anna often panicked and frightened even though she was just yelled at or scolded. Anna starts turning the pages of the book, pretending to take notes in her exercise book.

He slowly took a deep breath as the doorknob of his room sounded open. He didn't turn around because he knew it must be his father. With a glance through the tail of his eyes, his father was now walking towards him.

The sound of the pantofel shoes was heard in the room followed by Ryan's hand on the chair he was sitting on and the next second Anna felt her head in a swipe gently by the father. Anna looked up and smiled at Ryan.

"Dad's home? Anna thinks I'm coming home tomorrow or the day after," Anna said, but her father didn't question her. Ryan noticed the work Anna was doing before she came.

"How long have you been studying it? Don't take too long. You're going to start school tomorrow. Now rest. I don't want your concentration disturbed because you're sleepy at school."

"Oh, yes, I also spoke to your principal one-on-one two days ago. Father accidentally met him at the cafe Serasa, all father also apologized for making you strike school. Now you go to sleep."

"Before father, Anna still has some more things to do," he said showing a book about his three-number about his circle.

"Tomorrow there's still time to work on it. It's late, I don't want you to get sleepy at school, Anna. Dad doesn't like that. Tomorrow's the first day you come in so follow what Dad said..."

Anna nodded and quickly cleaned all her books and stationery from the table. Don't tell me her father's gone from the room - no, the man still faithfully stood next to her while watching Anna's activities.

As Anna shifted her chair about to stand up, one hand grabbed the phone on the table. Anna thought it would not be a problem, apparently her father snarled and suddenly snatched the phone in her hand violently. The shocked Anna immediately looked at her father in panic.

"Dad said what just now, Anna? You didn't hear Dad's orders, huh? Why play cell phones if you want to sleep? You like making dad angry! How much you like your father is rude to you..."

Ryan slapped hard on Anna's cheek. Anna who did not expect her father like that immediately kept her distance. His body retreated and was already stuck on the wall.

"What did Dad say?" His father's suddenly rising voice made him tremble in fear. Anna has had a tremor since she was mistreated by her father. Just a little blow can make him afraid and tremble.

"M-I'm sorry, Dad" he said with trembling lips. His eyes continued to move restlessly watching what his father was about to do.

"Advertise father's question! What did you say just now?" Slap again. Anna accepted the father's slap for the second time until he fell to the floor.

"Anna's father's question answer. What did you just say, huh?!"

Anna was still at ease as she touched her hot cheek, completely burning. Both of his eyes were instantly glazed.

"You're mute to the point of not being able to answer Dad's question? You are yes..."

Ryan immediately kicked Anna's stomach tightly until Anna roared in pain. Really if anyone asks what it feels like? Anna had no intention of answering as much as what it was like to be kicked by her own father.

"SORRY ANNA, DAD..." Anna hugged her body. Protecting his body in pain, fearfully his father again landed a foot on his body.

"Why don't you just die, huh? You should have died Anna!!" Ryan raised his hand in the air and quickly Anna held her hand so as not to slap her again.

"Don't Dad, Anna beg-sorry Anna. Anna won't repeat." Anna hugged her father's leg tightly and Ryan ruthlessly slammed Anna's cell phone onto the floor.

With a single hit, the phone shattered into pieces. The reward from the Tantenya is now badly damaged. Anna was at the feet of her father. He was really afraid that his father would get angry again because of his stupidity. The little hand trembled violently touching the shin of the father who was still clad in office pants.

"For this phone you always ignore father's orders. Now, come here!" This time Ryan pulled his arm rough. "You must be punished to be deterred. If you don't learn a lesson, you can never learn from your mistakes!"

"Don't dad. Not again, Anna please. Please don't be like this, father." exclaimed Anna with her raucous voice. He continued to fight his father and try to escape from the grasp of the strong hand of the father clutching his arm.

"Sapatt!!" ryan snapped loudly until he filled the room.

"Yes!!!" Anna ran screaming loudly towards the door as her father's grasp loosened in his arms, but his father's door had not opened before pulling his hair making his body slam hard into the marble floor.

Anna protected her body with her head lowered on the floor. She thought her father had stopped her but again and again Anna felt an excruciating sensation of pain as her hair was pulled rough, Anna's reflexes looked up at her father.

"You're supposed to die Anna!" ryan shouted while stepping on Anna's feet.

"Arghhh! Sick Daddy... Why is dad like this anyway? Why do you hate me so much! Why.. hiks .. hiks..."

"That's what dad wanted. I want you to feel what your mother felt first. Were it not for that stupid desire of yours, your Mother would not have left so soon. You are indeed the son of the unlucky bearer in this family. You should never have been born into this world!!"

Ryan pulled the girl's arm like a puppy into a bathroom where the lights were not on. The woman cried sobbing with her hands still trying her best to let go of her father's hands.

"Sick Dad..." Anna spoke in a faint voice.

His father continued to ignore his words. He grabbed his daughter's hair and pushed her into the bathtub. Almost the girl's head hit the edge of the bathtub if she did not quickly raise her head.

Ryan flushed Anna's body with cold water. As long as her father doused her, Anna tried to grab her father's hand to stop watering him who had lost his air supply. "Will I repeat it again?" the father saw the girl rubbing her face rough.

"No Dad .. geez. Anna won't repeat it. Anna's sorry."

After hearing that clearly, Ryan slammed the shower onto the floor violently. She came out of the bathroom without a word, leaving a crying Anna in the bathtub with both feet bent into her chest. His head wanted to break due to his pain. He glanced at the door and said.

"This is just God, please listen to Anna. Anna could no longer. Take Anna with Mother. Anna please..."
