The Jewel in My Heart
Chapter 17

A few minutes later the bespectacled man came again with a piece of transfer proof paper which he handed over to Arthur. Arthur nodded once before giving up the paper to Anna.

Anna looked carefully at the numbers on the paper. "Thank you" he said

Arthur gestured with a nod for the man to leave.

"Enough?" arthur asked, looking at Anna.

Anna nodded and returned to bribe the last spoon for Nina. The toddler immediately drank his water as soon as Anna thrust the glass into her mouth.

"Can I go home now?" said Anna while wiping Nina's mouth with the tissue available on the table.

Arthur frowned "You can't go home." He began to think, which part of his explanation did not understand Anna.

"I know you don't have to repeat your words. I'm not going home, I'm going to find a temporary place to stay until I find a suitable place."

"For the time being you're staying with me at the Freyster..."

"Don't I already explain," Anna quickly cut "I'll move to a place that your enemies can't track..."

"They can find you even if you go to the end of the world. There's no safer place for you right now than to be with me."

Arthur begins to understand, although Anna looks fragile, this woman can be stubborn.

Anna sat down and fell silent, she again thought, if Arthur's enemy is that great, maybe he can't just hide. "How long?"

Arthur was getting irritated, they came back again and the beginning of the conversation. He was not the type of person who would patiently repeat what he had just said.

"I don't need to explain anymore, you should understand the danger you're facing" Arthur replied firmly. "We'll leave after breakfast. I'll be waiting for you in front" said Arthur and stepped away from the balcony with one of the bodyguards who always stood not far from him.

Anna got up and carried Nina, her appetite was gone. Anna's quick steps described her as upset. Why should he be involved in this matter?

Anna sat tired, the door was knocked back and Anna yelled to just go straight in, she lost her spirit.

This morning, the woman delivered the vessel back in with two boxes, one large and one small. The woman gave her a smile. "You're waiting" he said before leaving the room.

From the size of the box, Anna can guess that the contents must be shoes for her and Nina. Anna immediately put on Nina and was surprised again because the shoes for her were also very fitting.

Anna recalled the figure of a foreign man lying on her bed, and Anna was goosebumps, the man turned out to be recording everything meticulously.

Anna grabs her bag and a cloth bag containing formula milk along with a bottle of Nina's milk. Anna steps a little slowly when leading Nina to the front room of the embassy where Arthur is waiting for her.

No one knew what was going to happen, yesterday he was an ordinary private teacher, only teaching English and math. Today he was traveling with a head of state!

From the hallway Anna could see Arthur sitting on the green sofa, the man was like he was giving instructions to one of his bodyguards standing in front of him. The morning sunlight entered the room through the wide open curtains.

The light hit Arthur's dark brown hair, some of which hit his thin face. Anna could see Arthur's face from the side, his nose high, his eyes deep, his eyebrows firm, and Arthur's body movements as he spoke. There is no rush, everything seems to be well controlled.

"This" Arthur thrusts Anna's passport "You're gonna need it"

Anna receives the passport confused, Arthur can get the passport within a few hours? he was great.

Without speaking again Anna follows Arthur to a Volvo saber with a state flag parked in front of the terrace.

A man in uniform opened the door for them. Anna could see the cars running in front and behind them.

Anna's heart was jumbled between fear, uneasiness, and a strange feeling running through her body. Is he an important person now?
