"Later tonight, Mr. Chen invited me to a cocktail party at the hotel hall. He's my client. You wanna come?" Daffa asked suddenly as he and Anna sat casually at the dining table.
"party? Mm.." -.." Anna hesitates to answer.
"After the event. If you don't want to come, it's okay too" Daffa said again.
Hearing Daffa's words, Anna finally replied.
"Keep you there alone?"
"... Probably my secretary Eva" Daffa said.
"Eva? I never saw your secretary, Daff. Did he come to Lombok too?" Anna asked curiously.
"Yes. He stayed in the room opposite our room" replied Daffa.
"Oo..your secretary..single?" Ask Anna carefully. As he asked that, Anna looked the other way. But Daffa understood what was in his heart.
Anna's fingers are seen playing on the edge of the tablecloth, and Daffa explains the situation with Eva, his secretary.
"Yes. She's single. Eva was my secretary for a long time, Anna. He's a good man. And he's been considered like his own family. I think you might be a good fit for him. I'll introduce you to him!" Daffa.
Anna lowered her gaze. She was embarrassed to be found suspicious of her husband. It's not that he can't trust Daffa. But, with so short their introductory period, and every sweet word the handsome young man spoke to her, Anna still felt like she was dreaming.
Suddenly Daffa was present in his life at the most difficult time. When Mama Ira cornered her to marry Frans, Daffa was present and offered the marriage that had saved her from her bastard cousin. Daffa was also kind to his family. All the good in her life these days seems like a hard dream for Anna to believe in.
Anna was afraid that she would wake up at any moment, and the young man's existence turned out to be something that could have been worse for her life. Moreover, until now Anna has not known or met with Father or other Daffa family. Anna had no idea how Daffa's family would respond to her impromptu marriage to Daffa.
"What are you thinking, Anna?" Daffa's voice broke Anna's worried daydream.
Anna looked at Daffa again. And, after some deliberation, Anna finally ventured to convey her concerns to Daffa.
"I. fear," said Anna.
"Hmm?" Daffa raised his eyebrows.
"... At our wedding yesterday, from your family only came Aunt Soraya.", Anna said. As soon as she saw Daffa who was about to cut off her words, Anna hurriedly continued.
"Yes! You did say that your father was on vacation in the Maldives. But what about your other family? Like Marine for example? I feel blind in this marriage, Daff. I don't know who you are, nor your family. I wish I could be a good wife. As well as being part of your family as well" said Anna at length.
"I want them to be able to accept me." Anna added in a soft voice and looked down.
Daffa sighed for a moment. He was confused to explain to Anna how to make his wife understand the condition of his family is very strange. But after Daffa thought again, 'Ana will also gradually know the rot in my extended family. So maybe it's good if I don't cover everything from Anna, ' Daffa thought to himself.
After sighing once more, Daffa finally said. Previously, he rubbed back Anna's fingers with a slow swab.
"Dear, Anna. I'll be honest with you. Actually, many of my extended family members do not like my presence. Many of those who, either blatantly, or secretly dared to take me down many times. I am lucky to have a very good father. Dad was always trying to protect me from every evil man's effort."
"If Sister Marine.. I think it would be better if you keep your distance from him. For the reason, I can't really be sure. But you trust me enough, Anna. I will try to keep you from all things that harm you. Even if it was against my own family," Daffa explained at length.
For a while, the conversation between the two went on hiatus. Anna finally asked me something else.
"Try telling me about your position in the family? Brother other than Marine, is there? Or a sister other than Yuna? Or how much..," asked Anna in succession.
"okay! Okay fine! I explain right now. So, I have a daughter from my marriage to my late mother, and that's Kak Marine"
"After Mama died, Kak Marine was only 10 or 11 years old. I love Mama very much. So, when two years ago news broke that Kak Marine was the result of Mama's affair with her old Secretary Father, Dad was shaken. Though at that time, Kak Marine had been predicted to be the sole heir of Father. But with the issue of the late Mama's dark relationship, many doubt the status of Kak Marine.
Especially when Dad started to entrust the company to me. Started the issue that Dad would entrust me as his heir. Even though I'm just his adopted son."
"Why not just do a DNA test? wouldn't it be easier to make sure of everything?" ask Anna suddenly.
Daffa smiled satirically upon hearing Anna's question just now. After a pause of about 3 seconds, Daffa continued his story.
"Up to now I still dare not do DNA tests on Kak Marine. Even though Mama died twenty years ago. The reason is that Dad was afraid, if when the DNA test results come out later, Dad will get results that he really did not want to know. He was afraid that the test results would tarnish the love of Dad to Mama, even though Mama had long gone."
"So until now I still treat Kak Marine as when he had never heard the issues of the affair Mama and her old secretary. Although still, Dad has kept a little distance with Kak Marine.
That's the main reason why so many people don't like my presence in this family."
Daffa took a pause for a moment. Before continuing the story.
"In addition to Marine, I also have a foster sister. I once told Yuna about you. If he's the adoptive son of the father who I educated since he was a baby. That's all the brother I have.
In addition, I also have an uncle and aunt from the late Mama's side. And because of Father's love for the late Mama, made Dad often help his brothers Mama. Even until they come to live in his mansion Dad. Unfortunately, their attitude is increasingly becoming. Especially since I came to that house." Daffa's words were then cut by Anna.
"Your words just now are as if you were saying that you are not your father's son, Daffa" Anna commented.
"But I'm not Dad's son, Anna. I'm like Yuna too" Daffa said.
Anna's mouth opened without a sound. He was shocked by the fact Daffa had just revealed about his true identity.
"So...?"
Daffa slowly nodded. As a sign of what Anna was thinking.
"I'm like Yuna too, Anna. I'm just an adopted son in Zion's father's family" Daffa said.
"Five years ago, Zion's father found and saved me from a boar attack on the edge of the forest. If there were no Dad, I wouldn't be in front of you right now. I might as well not be able to return to my original world anymore."
"Huh?" Anna was puzzled by the last words spoken by Daffa.
"Back to the original world? Meanin?" Anna asked Daffa.
Daffa seemed to swallow something so large that he had trouble letting out even a word to answer Anna.
For a long time, Daffa seemed to be considering something. While Anna patiently waited for her husband to return to tell her story.
"Anna.. Can you believe me if I say that I am not of this world?" Daffa's answer to Anna was a question that left Anna even more confused.
"uh? What do you mean, Daff?" Anna did not understand.
"Dear, Anna. I'm actually from a faraway place that doesn't exist on this earth. I came here by accident when I followed Tasya, my fiancee, through a magic door" Daffa explained.
"..., You are... Kidding me, right, Daff? (You're kidding me, right, Daff!)" Tukas Anna's.
Daffa seemed to have let out a breath once again. He then rubbed Anna's fingers slowly and grasped her tighter. Then, he answered Anna's question in a straightforward tone.
"I'm telling you, the truth, Anna. (I speak the truth, Anna) I'm coming from a faraway land which is called, Nevarest. (I came from a very distant land, called Nevarest)."
