Chapter 7 - SADLY, IT WASN'T ME

Sadly, it wasn't Me

The charm of an Anastasia Melody has not completely subsided. Although her face is slightly different due to plastic surgery due to an accident, she is still Anastasia Melody who is still loved by her fans.

The press conference held by Lisa was a success. Not only that, the cooperation contract for advertisements and others was directly entered through Lisa's personal email.

Lisa is certainly very happy and excited. She immediately agreed to several work contracts that were considered the most profitable for Anastasia. Anastasia herself doesn't mind even though she does everything with a happy heart.

"So how was this morning? Did you sleep well last night?"

Calling Kevin via video call became a special breakfast menu for Anastasia even though she didn't know that it was actually Danzel who made video calls every morning. That the person she thought was Danzel was Kevin who had always been disturbing her sleep and night dreams.

"What's on your agenda today?" asked Anastasia.

"I have to go to the hospital, Danzel has to be treated," said Danzel.

Deg ....

Hearing Danzel's words, Anastasia gasped in surprise. For some reason, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart.

"What's wrong with him, Dan?" asked Anastasia.

Danzel took a deep breath.

"Heart cancer, stage three."

Anastasia covered her mouth for a moment. Cancer? It was this disease that made her, and Lisa orphaned since childhood. Their father died of liver cancer.

Tears slowly trickled down Anastasia's cheeks, causing Danzel to raise his eyebrows.

"What happened to you? Are you alright?" he asked.

Anastasia exhaled.

"Maybe you forgot, but I told you before, that my father died of liver cancer. Have you forgotten my story?"

Danzel slapped his forehead, damn it! Kevin apparently hadn't told him about it. Maybe this is what makes Kevin choose to shift away his feelings for Anastasia. She did not want if one day she had to leave, Anastasia recalled the sad story about her father.

"Sorry, Honey, I forgot," Danzel said quietly. Anastasia just smiled a little.

"It's okay. I understand if you forget. Okay, I have to take a shower and grab my breakfast. At ten o'clock I must do a photo shoot and shoot a commercial. After that, this afternoon I should go to the recording studio," said Anastasia when she accidentally glance at the clock on the wall.

Danzel smiled and waved his hand at the camera then hung up. After that the tall young man also rushed to tidy up the things he was going to take to the hospital. He must immediately accompany Kevin.

He immediately grabbed his car keys and immediately rushed his car to the hospital. And when he arrived, he immediately went to Kevin's room. Maya, Kevin's mother, immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Thanks for coming," she said.

"Auntie, have a rest at home. Let me take care of Kevin here."

"Thank you, Dan. I really need to go home. Tonight, after all my works is done, I will come back."

"Tonight, let me take care of Kevin at the hospital. Auntie has been sleeping in the hospital for three nights. Just stay with uncle, he also needs you."

"Your uncle is a big boy. Is he a baby that you have to take care of all the time?" Maya said.

"Auntie also needs to rest comfortably, let me just handle it. I've brought a pack of clothes to change," Danzel forced while showing the bag he was carrying.

Maya shrugs her shoulders, "Okay, I give up. Tonight, you take care of Kevin. But promise me if there's anything wrong, quickly call uncle and aunty."

"Don't worry too much, Ma. Danzel can take care of me, he is more than capable to become my babysitter. Mama just rest at home," Kevin finally spoke up with some jokes. Maya smile and nodded her head.

"Mama can't fight you two. Alright then, I should be going now. Remember, take your medicine and don't break what the doctor says."

"Yes, mom."

Maya grabbed her bag and kissed her only son's forehead, then patted Danzel's shoulder briefly and walked out of the room. At first glance, anyone who sees it will think Maya is a woman and a mother who is so strong. But she always cried when she was alone or when Kevin didn't see her.

What mother would have the heart to know that her only son had a serious illness and even death could come to pick him up at any time.

"Are you sure you want to stay at the hospital?" Kevin asked.

"Of course. You think I'm lying?!"

Kevin just chuckled at Danzel's behavior. The young man immediately changed the sofa chair in the room into a mattress, and immediately lay on it while grabbing the television remote and moving the channel.

"You think this is a hotel?!" Kevin yelled exasperated.

"Think about it, Kev. Can you stopped protesting too much, here's my cell phone. You can chat with Anastasia," said Danzel, handing him the cell phone.

They did end up having to exchange the cell phone numbers they both used. It was so that Anastasia wouldn't be suspicious. But, in the end, it became a mess.

"Kev, why didn't you tell me that Anastasia's father died of cancer?" asked Danzel suddenly.

"It wasn't that I didn't tell you before. How did you know?"

Danzel scratched his head that didn't itch, "Earlier, I said that I was going to the hospital. And I accidentally forgot to mention your illness."

"Hah?! You are ... I thought one day you would be free to say this to her. Then, how did she react?"

"She suddenly burst into tears. When I asked what was wrong, she told me a little about her father. And then asked me if I forgot that she told me. I was nervous, so I just said I forgot."

Kevin took a deep breath.

"I forgot to tell you, sorry."

"So that's why you won't admit your illness to her?" asked Danzel. Kevin nodded his head slowly.

"I don't want her to feel the loss of someone she loves again. Honestly, I love her very much, but let me love in my own way. I know she will be happy to be yours. Even though in the end she will know that you are not me. But she already loves you. Doesn't matter if it's you that replace me," said Kevin.

Danzel took a deep breath, for God's sake, he hated hearing Kevin talk about death.

"Never mind, you don't have to talk about that. You'd better think of a way to get you out of here quickly. Remember, in three weeks, we'll be back in Jakarta. I can't wait to enjoy the atmosphere of the capital city."

"I know what place you're going to first," Kevin said sarcastically. Danzel turned, "Where?"

"Clubbing! You must be looking forward to meeting the dancer you used to love, just admit it!"

Danzel immediately threw the pillow that was nearby in annoyance.

"Then, didn't you before?! You can't resist every time seeing a beautiful girl strolling near you!" Danzel exclaimed making Kevin laugh instantly.

"Those are a beautiful day." Kevin looks away with sad eyes.

"I'll remember always everything about you, Bro." Danzel feel pain in his chest.

Both were in silent.
