Love Anya For X

"I'm sorry Anya, Mom,"

Maxim called Axton at dawn and told his youngest child not to forget to drive Anya to the airport, before leaving for filming. Hana who heard Maxim's attention, refrained from making a sound, even though her face had turned red with jealousy.

It felt like she was screaming and saying that she was the one who had been sleeping with Axton all this time. Imagining how Axton's father reacted when he found out, it was enough to make Hana laugh with satisfaction.

"What's wrong?" axton asked after hanging up the phone from his father.

"Just imagine something funny." Hana answered with a mysterious laugh. Axton doesn't really care about Hana's attitude. He did not want to add to his mind.

The man got up from his bed "Sleep again, I'll take him first" he said, kissing Hana's lips and then heading to the bathroom.

Hana could not argue, she re-rolled her half-plain body under Axton's thick blanket.

Anya had already come out of her room in neat clothes. A suitcase was in his right hand, while a small bag was on his shoulder.

Knowing that there is Hana along with Axton, makes Anya not want to pay attention to the man. He'll just send a message later.

Anya opens the door of the house, along with that Axton comes after her. The man was seen picking up a car key hanging near the door.

Anya was silent. His body blocked the door which automatically made Axton unable to get out.

"Quick! You don't want to miss the plane, do you?"

Axton's words instantly disperse Anya's daydream. The girl quickly stepped aside to give her husband a path.

His face flushed red when he knew Axton was going to take him. Although he understood, Axton could not take the initiative on his own.

Along the way, Anya just daydreamed. He thought about his mother's condition. After taking a bath, Kinanti told her that her mother had a high fever. Several times the mother also kept calling her name.

Anya had told her two sisters to take Mom to the hospital immediately.

Axton could see the unease Anya felt. He was eager to ask her about her mother-in-law's condition, but the words never came out of Axton's mouth.

"I'll probably be there a long time, brother. She seems to have to be hospitalized for a few days. I will accompany him until he is well again." As if to know the contents of Axton's heart, Anya suddenly told the condition of Miss Rastini.

"Hn," murmured Axton.

Axton looked at Anya who was looking out the window. The girl's hand could not remain silent. A little bit of his hands twisted his clothes or scratched the tip of his nails.

Axton's hand moved slowly.

Just now that the man wanted to hold onto Anya's hand, suddenly the girl shouted, "Sister, watch out!"

Axton turned his eyes forward. It turned out that there was a bus speeding in the opposite direction. With a swift Axton slammed the steering wheel to the left and stepped on the brakes firmly.

Anya closed her eyes tightly.

After a while, the girl opened her eyes again. A sigh of relief was heard when he found out they were fine. He then turned to Axton who was glaring at him.

Wasn't it! Axton opened glaring at him. The girl followed Axton's line of sight.

Anya spontaneously screamed instantly, after learning that she was clutching Axton's hand on her chest.

Axton is indeed reflex blocking Anya's body using his hands despite having worn a seatbelt. But unexpectedly, Anya subconsciously hugged the hand tightly and brought it to the chest of the girl.

"M–forgive me," said Anya stammered.

Trying to assume nothing happened, Axton immediately put his car back on.

"Thank you, sister," Anya said upon their arrival at the airport. "I go first" she told Axton. His hand grabbed Axton's right hand on the steering wheel and kissed him softly.

Axton, who usually rebelled when touched, now could only be silent, as if to let Anya do it. I don't know, he couldn't move his hand to shake Anya's hand as usual.

Axton remained silent for a while after Anya's departure. The man involuntarily stroked the back of his hand which was still warmed by Anya's kiss.

...***...

Anya ran down the hospital corridor to her mother's ward. Kinanti welcomed the arrival of the Brother with a face full of tears, while Jagat fell asleep in the guest chair.

"How's Mom doing, Nan?" ask Anya. His eyes were staring at the thin body of Miss Rastini. Just two days without meeting, the condition of the mother is really much different.

"Mother's lacking fluids, sister. The platelets are down too. The doctor said, My mother was in a deep depression. After improving I'll check Mom into Psychiatric Police." hearing Kinanti's words, Anya shed her tears.

His mother held his hand while whispering, "Home home, Mom,"

After saying so a few times, Miss Rastini opened her eyes slowly. The woman's cry broke as soon as she found out Anya was coming. He immediately hugged Anya tightly and said sorry many times, for having embarrassed himself.

"Why do you keep saying that? I'm not wrong." On the sidelines of his cry, Anya scolded Bu Rastini.

According to Kinanti and Jagat, their mother felt devastated not only at the Axton family's accusations, but at Anya as well. He felt guilty for humiliating him.

Anya who heard it could only cry. He was really inexhaustible.the incident had a huge impact on his mother.

"I'm sorry Anya, ma'am," she said. "Anya promised to clear Mom's name after this. I promise you, Mom."

...***...

It's been almost a week for Anya to go back to her hometown. The girl diligently sent Axton a message to inform the health condition of Ms. Rastini.

Ms Rastini's condition has not improved. The woman could not even accept any food now. Any food that goes into his mouth will just come out.

On certain nights he would cry hysterically in his sleep. Sometimes, he seems to still be in front of both Axton's parents. He would suddenly and repeatedly plead not guilty.

Anya has checked Miss Rastini to the Psychiatric Police. According to the doctor's diagnosis, the mother had Psychotic Depression.

Psychotic depression can actually be cured if the physical condition of the sufferer does not decrease.

Maxim called Anya later that day. The man invites Axton to come with him to Anya's hometown. Axton did not reject his father's invitation, because he did intend to follow Anya a few days later.

...***...

"Anya, Kinanti, Jagat," called Miss Rastini to her three children.

Today, Mrs Rastini's condition is better than in previous days. He no longer cries much, and spends all day listening to soothing Islamic songs.

They immediately approached the mother's bed. "What's up, Mom? Is there any food you want? Let Anya buy it," she asked her mother.

Miss Rastini shook her head, "No. I just want to have a little chat with you."

"Why, Mom?" ask Kinnie this time.

Bu Rastini's eyes looked at Kinanti and Jagat, "Kinan, Jagat, diligent lecture, huh? Pass with good grades in order to get an established job. Don't be like your late mother and father." Miss Rastini said with a smile.

"You should not fight often either. Always remember what Anya said, because after all. Anya's mother is your brother. Without Anya and her family, we wouldn't be able to go through all this hardship."

"Mom, why are you talking like this, anyway?" Kinanti cried hearing her mother's words.

Ms. Rastini smiled slightly, her old eyes then turned to look at Anya, "Nduk, thank you for wanting to be a mother's child and also a sister for both Mother's children. I'm so grateful to have been able to take care of you since your family existed. You know, don't you, I love you so much?"

"Yes, Mom, Anya knows. Anya who is grateful because Mother wants to take good care of Anya. Anya wouldn't have been like this, if it wasn't for Mom to take care of Anya." Anya replied while holding onto Ms. Rastini's hand. A drop of tears flowed from the corner of Anya's eyes.

"I'm sorry if at the end of your life, I can only humiliate you in front of your Husband's family,"

"What's this mom talking about, anyway? I never embarrassed Anya. I never did anything wrong." Anya's heart felt uncomfortable hearing Miss Rastini's words. It felt exactly the same as he had felt lately.

"Anya said, Mom, that Mama gave her apology to Mom for wrongly accusing me."

Miss Rastini smiled softly, this is the fifth time Anya has said so. He wasn't stupid, he knew full well it was just a lie.

"It's not good to lie, son, I've never taught you that" Ms. Rastini warned.

Anya could only bow.

"Anya, Kinan, Jagat," call Miss Rastini again. The woman's eyes rolled staring at her three children in turn. "In Mom's closet there's an old safe box. All the valuables, along with the house letter were there. Some of the jewelry that I purposely collect little by little since working in Pak Handoko's family. I don't want to leave you guys without supplies. Whatever it takes, I leave it to the three of you. Remember Anya, you're also Mom's son." Miss Rastini said at length.

Tears were dripping down Bu Rastini's cheeks. "Titip your sisters huh, Anya? I entrusted them to you. Please take care of them wholeheartedly, and you also have to take care of yourself, "

"What the hell are you talking about, Mom!" peekik Anya was angry. She doesn't like her mother saying strange things.

Miss Rastini stretched her hands wide, asking the three of them to come into her arms.

...***...

An unknown number called Axton's phone several times. At first Axton ignored the phone call, thinking it was a call from some reporter, but then an incoming message came from the number.

0817XXXXXXXX
