The Jewel in My Heart
Chapter 10


"What are you doing?" Anna was so shocked when she entered the house that she found the stranger squatting and standing up, like someone who was practicing physically. The door is directly in the following lock with its duct tape.


Nina approached the man and noticed him. The toddler continued to stand there so the foreign man stopped and crouched down in front of him. "Hi" his greeting to Nina.


Anna tries to invite Nina to her room but Nina refuses her, as she is very curious about the foreign man who is in her current house. Anna then picks up Nina's stuffed rabbit. "Look! it's Pipi, and she wants to be hugged by Nina. Nina want to play with Pipi?" angling Anna.


Honestly, Anna felt uncomfortable that Nina was close to a foreign man. The stranger is now injured.


Finally Nina grabbed Pipi from Anna's hand and carried the doll to the sofa. The man watched Anna and Nina alternately, he felt familiar if Anna suspected him. At first glance he glanced at Nina who was playing with her doll on the sofa. "Where's his dad?"


Anna's face turned tense for a few short seconds, "It's none of your business."


All right, thought the stranger, after all, Anna's personal business was none of her business. "So did anyone follow you?" ask the man while continuing his training.


Anna puts her bag in Nina's room. "No, I guess."


"Are you not sure?"


"Listen" Anna looked up at the man, "I'm not someone like you, so I don't know what 'followed' you mean. But if you mean the one who followed me, nothing"


The man's shoulder was raised, Anna was right, the woman would definitely not realize that she was being followed. "Do you know everyone who lives here?"


"Not all of them, but I recognized their faces despite not knowing what their names were"


"good. Did you see anyone new?"


"So far not. You can't make that move, it's dangerous for your injuries."


"I should be able to walk as fast as he can."


"If I could walk normally then everything would be fine."


"If not?" ask Anna waswas.


The man stood up then sat on the carpet near the sofa, his face in thought. "I will try not to do anything."


What kind of answer is that, Anna thought sourly. This man is like a man who has no preparation, when clearly he is involved in a big problem. "Have you eaten?" the man nodded.


"You're not nauseous with my cooking?"


"Why?"


"I think you're from a place far away from here, so surely what you eat is different from what I usually eat" Anna said and sat on the sofa with Nina.


"No problem" the man replied briefly.


"You're like her very fluent in my language"


"The less you know, the safer you will be" the man cut


"As far as you go." Anna carried Nina to the bathroom. It was better for her to take a bath with Nina than to get more stressed every time she talked to the stranger.


Anna didn't take long to bathe, fifteen minutes later she had Nina sitting on the carpet with her toys while the stranger had moved to the couch.


"Suddenly Nina stood up and went back to the stranger, she thrust her different LEGO toy inside the little plastic "Ayooo..."


The stranger was surprised because Nina invited him to play "I.." said the stranger stopped for a moment. "Alright" the man took the plastic LEGO from Nina's hand and moved to the carpet with Nina
