Chapter 143 - 143. Crazy Idea (4)

As if at a dead end, Anna didn't know what to do now.

After struggling with her thoughts for a long time, Anna finally made a decision. A decision she had previously rejected outright.

She had no other choice but to visit Devan's address. Yes, Anna intends to go to the man's house secretly. She just wanted to charge her cell phone, maybe just a few minutes.

It was the only thing on the woman's mind. Let's say this is a little crazy, but what can she do? She had no other plans besides that.

Anna knew this was wrong, so she would do it quietly and quickly. At least until her cell phone battery was charged again, then she would leave the man's house.

The bus stopped again, she decided to get off while waiting for the bus that was headed towards the man's house, because if Anna noticed, the bus she was currently riding seemed to be heading towards the city limits.

There was no one other than herself at the bus stopped, Anna waited for almost an hour and finally, the bus she was waiting for came, seeing the bus schedule written on the wall of the bus stop, this was the last bus that operated at night.

After traveling for several tens of minutes, the woman finally arrived at the bus stopped which was not far from Devan's house.

It only takes a few minutes to walk and then it arrives.

Seeing Mr. Lukman who was still awake at his post, Anna suddenly turned around. "No, no. What are you doing here, Anna?" she monologues.

It was only three steps but she turned around again, "Just this once, just this last time." Anna stepped again and approached Mr. Lukman, trying to make up her mind.

"No. No, you have to go back, Anna."

"Just this once. You have to do it, for your son." Anna kept going back and forth like someone who was in a daze.

This went on for five minutes, Anna trying to compromise with herself. Even though on the bus earlier, her determination was made up, but it turned out that after being in front of the man's house everything was not as easy as she thought.

"Okay, fine. Just this once. Last time," Anna muttered, finally stopping her footwork, her gaze fixed on Mr. Lukman's post, staring at her unblinkingly, trying to make up her mind. Taking a deep breath and then exhaling slowly, at the same time, she started walking.

"Excuse me," said Anna right after being in front of the post.

"Miss Anna?" Immediately the man came out and greeted Anna's arrival.

"Yes sir. It's me."

"What happened Miss? Why are you visiting so late at night?" the man asked.

"Mr. Devan asked me to come, sir. So, I immediately rushed here," said Anna hopefully anxiously.

"Really? I haven't seen you in a few days, are you sick?"

Anna smiled awkwardly, "Y-yes, I am, sir."

"Thankfully, it seems you are fine now."

"So, may I come in?" she asked.

"Of course Miss, wait a minute let me open the gate for you," replied Mr. Lukman then turned and walked towards the post.

"W-wait..."

"Eh? What's wrong Miss?"

"Mr. Devan is inside right? Is he with someone?" she asked.

"No Miss. He is alone," along with Mr. Lukman's answer, Anna breathed a sigh of relief.

"May I know when he came back?" asked Anna curiously.

"Since this afternoon Miss."

"Okay. Thank you, Mr. Lukman. So may I come in now?"

"Of course Miss," replied the security, nodding.

Only a few minutes later, the gate opened.

"Thank you, sir, then excuse me," said Anna, and the man just nodded.

"Okay Anna, you've tested your guts by coming here," Anna muttered as she scanned the surroundings. After all, she had no other purpose than to the man's house.

Garden lights lined up to meet several points and managed to provide dim lighting. The sound of nocturnal animals such as crickets was heard shouting at each other.

The night air is getting colder, She didn't know what time it is, Anna doesn't know.

If her guess was correct, maybe Elena and Carlos had already found out that she was missing and were now panicking? Or at worst Brian already knew what was going on.

Just thinking about it, Anna couldn't feel at ease even after moving away from them. She has such feelings not without reason. Because no one knows what will happen in the future, right?

Walking down the driveway that led to the main door, Anna wore a wary attitude. Afraid that the man might suddenly appear out of nowhere, though she was sure that was impossible.

In her heart, Anna hoped that Devan was asleep. So she could enter the man's house without being caught.

Along with her footsteps getting closer to the main door, her heartbeat also accelerated.

Her muscles felt weak and suddenly became sluggish. She didn't know, maybe this is a natural response that her body shows to the crazy actions she is doing.

Repeatedly heard her take deep breaths, trying to relax her body as much as possible.

With trembling hands, she slowly entered the code which was the key to the house door. 'Hopefully, the guy hasn't changed his password,' she thought.

And the next second, the door opened. Her heart was beating fast, the atmosphere inside was very dark and there was no light whatsoever, Anna slowly opened the door a little wider and then entered.

Her guess was correct, the man might have been asleep because there was no sign of life in there.

Immediately Anna walked sneakily towards the kitchen.

'You have to hurry, Anna, and get out of here before that man wakes up.' She kept repeating those words in her heart.

Arriving at her destination, Anna immediately took off the top of the chef's clothes she was wearing and left only an ordinary short t-shirt, put her bag on top of the pantry, and looked for the charger she had put in the bag before leaving earlier.

Her brow furrowed, after searching, even to the smallest part, Anna did not find the object.

"Eh? Where?" Anna repeated the same thing, but to no avail.

"Could it have fallen on the bus?" She guessed because when she took her cellphone earlier, she just took it carelessly.

If not there, where else? Her memory was also very clear that she had put it in her bag along with her wallet.

Suddenly Anna threw herself against the wall, 'Then what are you going to do here?' her mind screamed when she saw her carelessness.

A harsh sigh escaped from between her lips.

Leaning against the wall, Anna rubbed her face roughly.. Being in that position for a few minutes, she cursed over again.
