Je Te Protegerai

Chapter 8's

Anna was pensive in her mommy's room. He stood in front of a wall full of small notes. Many words are in the notes. Most of his name is always on every note. In addition to the name of the goods and also daily activities. The note was her mommy's note as she regained consciousness. Anna realizes that her mother is trying to remember anything she wants to remember. Especially himself. Beloved daughter. Of all the notes, Anna was touched by her mother's words on one of the notes. That said"Anna I love. If mommy leaves, don't be sad, son. You should know if you're the gift mommy once had. Beautiful mommy's daughter. Forgive mommy for being your mother dear. I love you. "

And only Anna knows if all this time her mommy knows what Anna always does.

'*I saw Anna in her school uniform today. She's very pretty'

'Seeing my Anna laugh with her best friend makes me happy'

'Why do I always forget if I have such a beautiful child*? '

'My Anna is really pretty'

Anna looked up so her tears wouldn't fall. Why did he know about this note. If he didn't come in and try to open the closet behind the wall, he might never know.

Looking up, Anna looked at her sleeping mother.

"I'm also grateful to be your son Mom. Don't leave me. " Speak of Anna.

His mother's bedroom door opened. Anna turned her head and looked at the astonished spirit looking at her.

"You must know, right? Why didn't you tell me? "

Seen if you already know about the notes. And Anna only smiled bitterly knowing this too late.

"sorry. Madam told me not to tell this to Miss. " Say me bowed.

"It's okay. I know it. You just follow my mother's wishes. Please keep him interested. I can't be by her side always. You're the only one I can count on. " Pinta Anna on a minah that made her shocked by her lady's request.

Minah has been working in the mansion for over 5 years. I know what happened to this family. Minah knew how the figure of the child who used to act spoiled and chatty became cold and quiet. There was no more light of life on those two blue eyes. There is only a joy that always emanates when he sees his mother.

"You're saying it like I'm new here, miss. You and Miss Savana I consider my family. I no longer have a family. And you're all I have. Of course I will take care of the madam with all my heart. Madam is like a mother to me. Though the mistress often calls me by your name. " Sweet a smile.

Anna smiled little knowing that her mommy still remembered her. The sting felt Anna felt in her heart. Tightness, and severe pain. His life is completely ruined. His harmonious family is a mess. Just because of one woman who suddenly came and destroyed her happy life.

Anna stared at the vast expanse in front of her. He is currently on the school rooftop. This morning, Anna left with Brian and Evelyn as usual. It's just that when she was about to enter the class Anna did not enter, but instead went to the rooftop. Evelyn wanted to accompany him, only she didn't want to. He wants to be alone for now. Evelyn also knows what happened last night, really Evelyn wants to help her best friend to be happy. But he doesn't know how.

"Why not go in? " Xavier's voice made Anna disperse her daydream.

"Where do you know I'm here? " Ana asked without looking at Xavier who was already beside her.

"Easy, only a rooftop can I think of to calm you down. There's no way you're going to the library. " Said Xavier who also looked at the vast expanse.

"Why if I go to the library? " Said Anna, glancing at Xavier.

"You're going to be saturated with those books. But here, you can calm down without being disturbed "

"I was just bullied. " Sindir Anna.

Xavier chuckles at Anna's innuendo. "Well is my original intention to bother you" he said casually.

"Well, you did it"

After that there was only silence between them. Anna with her thoughts and Xavier with her thoughts. They were drowning with their own thoughts. Xavier still remembers every word his father said last night. He really did not know what his father was saying. Xavier turned his head to look at Anna who remained staring forward with her empty eyes.

Xavier had no idea what was inside the blue-eyed girl's mind. I don't know what kind of suffering he's been through all this time. How many times did those tears come out of those pretty eyes. Xavier had no idea how many times Anna had risen from everything she had experienced. Xavier was even impressed by everything Anna had done so far that the sting was invisible. Xavier admits, Anna's a strong girl. But, will it last forever? Isn't there a limit to being strong in front of others? When that time came, Xavier did not know if he could see Anna's fall.

Xavier admits he's falling in love with Anna. Since the first time they met in the principal's room. Those eyes seemed to bewitch her. His cold and indifferent attitude made Xavier curious about the girl's life.

Even his heart was racing with Anna. This had never happened in the life of a stiff and cold Xavier. Never had he wanted to protect someone who was frustrating.

Xavier pulls Anna's hand and leaves the rooftop.

"What do you want?! " Anna screamed as Xavier led her to the school parking lot.

"Shut up and just come along. " Say Xavier.

Anna took off her hand from Xavier and took a hard look at the man.

"That's Anna. You'll be safe with me. " Convinced Xavier when Anna doubted him.

"What I'm asking is where are you taking me to X? " Anna is upset with Xavier who is always as good as herself.

"You'll know when you get there. " Take Xavier and pull Anna into his car.

Anna resigned because Xavier would not tell them where to go. Xavier immediately drove his car out of school. Luckily Anna was the son of the school owner, so when she was about to leave the gate it was open for her.

Half a long journey, they finally reached Xavier's destination.

Anna looked ahead. There is the writing Orphanage and behind the writing there is a house that is not too big for the size of the orphanage . Anna looked at Xavier questioningly.

"What do you mean you brought me here? " Tnya Anna flat.

Xavier looked at Anna with a smile and took off his seatbelt.

"You'll know. Comeondown. "

Inevitably Anna obeyed Xavier in annoyance. Anna gets out of the car and follows Xavier into the parlour. Anna could see that when she entered Xavier, it was like coming here often. It is seen that the mothers of the nanny mother immediately greeted him kindly. Even asking for news and why not come here.

"Who are you with, son? She was so beautiful "The mother said to the owner of the parlour looking at Anna who was still exploring the house.

"He's my future wife, bi. " Bisik Xavier's.

"What's? Are you looking for the right girl? " Say the mother smiled.

She walked towards Anna.

"Hallo. You're Xavier's friend? " Well that mother to Anna.

Anna looked at the mother innocently. Didn't even answer my mother's question.

"Include me the owner of this home. My name is Kim Jung ah . Commonly called aunt Kim. " Aunt Kim said kindly.

Anna looked at Aunt Kim's hand in silence. He doesn't know what to do. He's too awkward to hang out with strangers. Not even used to it. Aunt Kim understood and pulled her hand back.

"Let's go in. " Take aunt Kim.

Xavier leads Anna into the home. As Anna walked in, she saw many children running around and playing. For the size of the home that is not too big, where do they place this many children? Because Anna believes that room one can be lived by 4 people. And this house is not too big. The room is likely to be small too.

"Children! Brother Xavier is coming!! " Aunt Kim cried.

The children rushed straight towards Xavier and Anna. Anna also stiffened when one of the children held her leg.

"Beautiful sister Xavier's sister's sister huh? " Tell the 5-year-old girl.

"Whose name? "

"My name is Alexa beautiful sister. " Say the girl named Alexa with a smile.

Anna looked at Alexa. How did this kid get to the orphanage? Who would throw away a jewel like this? How cruel his parents were.

Xavier looks at Anna and Alexa's interaction with a smile. He knew Anna was too stiff. It's just that, if Xavier finds a place for him to be a normal human being but Anna doesn't. The girl was too closed and silent. Xavier hopes this place can make Anna better.

"He's my girlfriend Alexa. " Xavier said crouching next to Anna.

Anna frowned and turned her head towards Xavier in annoyance.

"Who do you call a girlfriend?! " Say Anna ketus.

"You." Appoint Xavier to Anna.

Anna would love to curse Xavier right now if Alexa didn't intrude.

"Sister, play Alexa? Alexa has no friends. " Talk Alexa with her style of speech that makes Anna anxious.

"There are a lot of friends your age, right?" Ask Anna.

Alexa nodded slowly.

"He's not too close to the others" Xavier said as if understanding in confusion huh.

"Then why me? " Anna looked at Xavier.

Xavier just put his shoulder out not knowing. Alexa is a closed girl. Only Xavier and Aunt Kim accompanied him. Other friends seem reluctant to play with Alexa who does not accept them.

"You accompany him. I'll be with the others" Xavier said and left with a group of children who asked him to play football.

Anna also tells Alexa to play together. They play cooking, where Alexa becomes the owner of the stall and Anna his customer. Anna also laughed when she saw how anxious Alexa was when practicing her style of being a chef. They got lost in the little boy's game. Until he did not realize there were two pairs of eyes that looked at their familiarity with a smile.

"It looks like you're in love. " Aunt Kim said as she glanced at Xavier who was still smiling looking at Anna.

"Come aunt kim. It was like I was flying to see him smile and laugh like that. This was the first time I saw him laugh. " Xavier said, looking at Anna there.

Kim's lips realized that it was a look of love. Xavier's gaze was very soft and warm. It was different from the look that the man gave others. Cold and sharp.

Xavier looked at Anna who was there. His heart warmed to see that face as if alive. Not like a corpse that's just stiff. Xavier promised to keep that face smiling later.

Let me be the one to make you Anna's life.

***

Brian was nervous at his house. The man saw the clock on his wrist. Anna's giving clock. That clock is his favorite. Brian hasn't replaced it in 2 years. That's the clock Anna sent from New York for her. Without a word there is only the name of the sender. But Brian was happy enough anyway.

Brian was worried because Anna had not come home. Since school, Brian has been calling Anna asking for the girl's whereabouts. After hours, Anna reveals that she is with Xavier. Anna says if Brian doesn't have to worry about her because Xavier will drive her home. But Brian was still worried, Xavier - the man seemed to be an obstacle for Brian now. Although Brian knew between Anna and Xavier was only a match, but it was a success to make Brian confused. Brian is afraid that Anna will fall into Xavier's arms. And his wait will be wasted.

The clock is eight o'clock by half a minute. And Brian would've called Anna if he didn't hear the sound of the car in front of the house. In a hurry Brian came out of the house and saw Anna with Xavier.

"No need to come down. " Say Anna when she sees Xavier take off her seatbelt.

Xavier turned his head to look at Anna with a look of wonder.

"Why? " Tanya Xavier was astonished.

"It's not what. It's already night. " Speak Anna.

I just don't want you to see what you shouldn't.

"Bless to be honest Anna. Are you afraid I'll meet your mother? " Xavier said as he raised his eyebrows sideways.

Anna breathed out slowly, perhaps Xavier already knew Anna's secret. It must be his father who said this. And maybe Xavier should have known. And Anna won't hide it anymore.

"You must have known from your father. " Say Anna pause..

"But I still don't want you to see X. Not for now.! Now leave. I am tired and want to rest. " Say Anna slowly.

Xavier was still staring at Anna and then nodded his head in understanding. Anna says 'no for now' it means that one day Anna will open up to her. And that's progress for them.

"All right, I'm going home. " Say Xavier gave up.

Anna just nodded her head and got out of Xavier's car. Shortly after Xavier's car left, Anna stepped into the house. Before arriving he saw Brian folding his hands in front and looked at him sharply.

Ahhh this is going to be exhausting.

"What are you talking about with that ice cap in the car? Why so long? I've been waiting for you for a long time and you also ditched Anna.! " Cerocos Brian was upset mixed with worry.

Anna smiled faintly and said "You don't have to worry about Brian. I just went somewhere with Xavier. "

Brian scrunched his forehead.

"Where? And why just got home? What time is Anna. You really worry me. Know it? " Brian said as he stared intently at Anna.

Anna also glanced from Brian to the end of the house. He was very tired today because of the orphanage child.

"Anna. You disregard me? You hear what I'm saying? Anna-"Brian stopped his words because Anna suddenly turned and looked at him.

"Stop. I'm tired Brian. Let me rest, okay? Tomorrow I'll tell you and I forgot Evelyn. He'll be lecturing me tomorrow. " Said Anna lowering her tone at last.

Brian was just staring at Anna.

"yeah. You'll be lectured by the girl tomorrow, you don't know what Ev is about you. "

Anna finds a disappointed tone from Brian telling her how Ev reacts when it comes to her. Anna knows how it is. The girl looks annoying to Anna, but if anything happens to Anna. Then only Ev overreacted to her. When Anna first drank alcohol in New York, she still remembered how excited the girl was to call her two bodyguards so she could stop drinking. That girl can make Anna's day colorful. Although Anna looks indifferent to Evelyn, but she is very fond of the careless girl.

"alright. I'm going to bed. I feel tired today. " Excite Anna to Brian who just got a mutter from Brian.

As she climbed the stairs, she remembered her mother. His steps turned towards the room under the stairs.

"Your mother is sleeping. Today she's okay Anna. " Brian's words made Anna stop her steps. He looked at Brian.

"really. "

Brian nodded his head.

"All right then. I'll just go upstairs. See you tomorrow Brian. " She said as she climbed the stairs.

Anna left Brian, who was still staring at her into the room. To be honest, Brian was worried that Anna and Xavier would like each other. And that was the end of his life. For some reason, the thought of Anna's matchmaking made her heart ache and tight. Especially if they were to get married, her chance would be lost in an instant.
