"Oh my goodness, baby! So you did it with that guy, just out of curiosity what it's like to fuck? Without coercion and without love between you?" Dila shook her head, with a face of disbelief after hearing her daughter's words.
Venus was silent while bowing her head, she did not argue against all that. But deep in his heart without him knowing, or maybe he already realized the name Aries has been embedded in his heart.
"Now tell Mom who's that guy?" dila Pinta.
"No mom, I won't say it because I don't want to hold her accountable." Answer Venus. "He was innocent of not forcing me, and we did it because we both wanted to."
Dila sighed violently, she did not understand the way her daughter thought. "But dear child who is in your womb needs his Daddy figure."
"No mom! This kid doesn't need a Daddy, because I can give birth and raise him alone." Venus rubbed her flat stomach.
"But dear—"
"Mom if Mommy and Daddy are ashamed of having a child who is pregnant without a husband, I'll go away from the Graham family so you don't have to bear the shame of me." Venus began to cry.
"Darling ...." Dila hugged her daughter tightly and stroked her long hair. "We've never been shy about having a daughter like you, but this baby's —"
"But Ve, even if mom agrees with your wishes. What about Dad Aiden and Mars? They will not remain silent! And will definitely find that man by the way." Speak with frustration.
"I know it's Mom, that's why I asked Mommy to help me keep Mars and Daddy from looking for him." Venus Pinta.
"But baby." Dila who was confused to the point of not being able to speak anymore.
"Mom ...." Venus wiped her tears with trembling lips to hold her sobs. "I'm Venus Graham since childhood always obeyed all your wishes, even I sacrificed my adolescence to realize the wishes of daddy and mommy. While friends my age were still having fun and playing games, I spent my time tirelessly studying all of the Graham family business day and night. I Venus Graham never complained and refused when you ordered me to lead the Genereeg Company, without ever asking what I wanted and what my ideals were. Everything I do for you guys is sincere without asking for anything in exchange." Venus pressed her chest tight when she remembered all that, where she really wanted to be a fashion designer had to bury her love for the happiness of Dad Aiden and Mars.
"I know what I did was very wrong and sinful, and I really regret it. But I beg you to grant me this one wish to bear this child and raise him alone. Don't ever ask and find out who that guy is! Can it be mom?" ask Venus with sobs getting louder, with her head bowed.
"Venus...." Dila immediately hugged her daughter's body with her shoulders shaking violently, as if she was being pulled back into the past, where Dila saw a teenage Venus who always obeyed all the wishes of Aiden and himself without the slightest word of rejection.
"Can I mom?" Venus asked again amid the sadness that enveloped her heart.
"Of course, mom promises your wish this time will be realized. And mom's sorry for ignoring what you wanted, baby." Dila rubbed the beautiful face of her crying daughter.
Venus replied with a nod of her head, then they hugged her back tightly. And without Dila and Venus realizing the two people who had wanted to go into the ward, heard all their conversations with a feeling of heart that could not be described with words.
