LOST (Anna)'s
Chapters 14. Meeting with Dirno.
Ryan, Nathan, and Bowo are allowed to eat food with all residents of the orphanage. A warm and pleasant atmosphere was created, although it was not felt with Ryan.
Ryan doesn't like being here. He was just too focused on watching the girl named Anna.
All his life, he had known many girls of the same name as his sister, only just this time he was so curious about the girl.
After their breakfast, Ryan, Nathan, and Mommy Laila discuss some of the home's financial statements, before rejoining the children.
They begin to form their own group with Ryan, Nathan, and Bowo as their leaders.
The quiet Bowo even brought out his painting talent that no one knew about. In an instant, the popularity of Tyo's son soared.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Bude Maya and Anna asked the children to take a nap first before continuing the day again, as well as giving the three men time to rest.
"Please, Sir!" Anna suddenly came to Ryan who was sitting alone in the courtyard of the home, carrying a glass of iced tea.
"I didn't ask for it" Ryan said unkindly.
Anna smiled shyly. "I did take the initiative to make it for you. If you don't like it, that's okay" said the girl.
"Thank you very much." Ryan picked up the glass and half-filled it. The chill instantly refreshes Ryan's throat, what else is the weather today is quite hot.
"The kids really miss you" Anna said.
"I miss them too. I haven't been back here in a few weeks because of the busyness" replied Ryan.
"Sure, they were so violent earlier." Anna laughed a little.
Even small talk suddenly came from the two. Including the introduction of Anna and Nathan that makes Ryan curious.
Anna, who somehow enjoys their conversation, eventually recounts some of the girl's coincidental encounters with Nathan, including her old home.
Ryan gasped. "So, are you the son of Mr. Dirno?" tanyanya.
"Yes, Sir. You know my dad?" Anna, astonished by Ryan's face, asked again.
Ryan was silent for a moment. Could it be us
The man's heart was beating very hard. Is this why Ryan is so curious about Anna? Because, coincidentally, they were finally able to meet one of the Dirno family members.
"Anna, if I may know, what's your full name?"
"My full name is Annazkia Ibrahim, sir!" anna answered without thinking.
Ryan's hope, which had originally expanded, now dimmed for a moment when he heard the name. Apparently Anna's name is just a fragment of her full name. The girl's name is also very different from the name of her sister.
"When, may I meet your father, Anna?"
Anna nodded her head and then smiled faintly. "It's with pleasure, sir."
Ryan closed his eyes for a moment, when he realized Anna's smile line was the same as his missing sister's.
Nah! He can't be like this! The only thing Ryan had to do right now was meet with Dirno. If Dirno turns out to know nothing about the sister, Ryan is forced to stop the search because he no longer has a clue.
...**********...
Time has shown at nine p.m., when Ryan and Nathan choose to relax in the backyard of the home.
Ryan was the one who took Nathan there to talk for a moment. "Is there anything you want to say to me, Nat!"
Nathan remained silent for a while. "Anna told you yes? Sorry, Bro, I didn't mean to hide the fact that he was Mr. Dirno's son, just that I wanted to make sure first" Nathan said.
"Sure what? Do you think she's the Anna we're looking for?" ask Ryan.
Nathan exhaled. "Not so. I just ... don't want you to feel burdened by this. Seeing you fragile every time you fail to find Anna makes me reluctant to use the old ways. That's why, I chose to check it myself first."
The atmosphere between them was suddenly cold. No one spoke to each other for a while, before Nathan finally made a sound.
"Sorry, Bro," Nathan said.
"It's okay." Answer Ryan.
"Then, how's next?" nathan asked Ryan.
"Tomorrow we'll meet Mr. Dirno."
