In the backyard of the house of Vania squatted lightly
"I still don't know your name, what's your name?" Vania rubbed her hand against the soft fur of the mutt who was now very familiar with her, every day the dog came at the same hour. So that Vania has been very upset when exactly the dog will visit
"I'll give you this food if you want to tell me your name" Vania held a plate containing dog food in her hand.
"What's your name blacky?" vania asked. The dog was unmoved, his eyes staring expectantly at the plate in Vania's hand
"Eddy...?" ask again like the name of his favorite Garfield cat movie dog, the dog remains unmoved
" Ck.. I've mentioned all the names I can think of.. albert?" the dog is still shaking
"Eeeiiissโฆ"
" Lessie.."
" Nor.." Vania gasped in shock at the soft voice from behind her that was greeted with a salute from the dog. Vania sees Julian walking up to her, takes the plate from Vania's hand and puts the food on the floor, which the dog immediately welcomes
"His name is Lessie." said Julian, Vania blinked her eyes twice before realizing Julian's intention
" That dog's name is Lessie..?" Julian smiled
" I named it after the dog in the movie Lessie, hoping it would be as great as the dog in the movie" Vania shook her head sideways, she remembered the movie, tells the character of a dog who loves his employer very much and protects his employer. What a sweet dream that little boy, thought Vania
"I didn't know you were close to him, how long have you guys been familiar?" julian asked, rubbing the dog's head
"It's been since I got here"
"REally..?" Julian was amazed, he never knew if Vania often played with Lessie before this. It was only earlier when he was looking for the whereabouts of the girl he realized
"Lessie rarely likes humans" Julian said
"He likes me because I bring food" Julian smiled and stood up
"You want to see something funny?" ask Julian suddenly
"Lessie sat down" Julian ordered, the dog who was chewing his food immediately sat down sweet, his tongue out and out licking his own mouth
"Stands on one leg" the dog raises one of its front legs up
"Take out your tongue and whine" The dog followed everything Julian commanded and even let out a soft shrill sound
Julian laughed that second as well. Vania was stunned, not because she saw the dog obediently just hearing the orders from Julian but because the man laughed so crisply, the sound of his laughter sounded melodious in any respect
No one ever told her that Julian could be so enchanting as to laugh. Julian scratched the dog's head while laughing softly
"Good boy. Keep eating you.." Vania smiled at the sight, a truly rare occurrence. Thought Vania

The seventh month
Pregnant at the age of six months to make Vania a little fatter, the girl ate very greedily and chewed whatever faced her. Makes Mr. Norman continue to feel excited because Vania looks very healthy
So does Miss Granger who visits the house once a week. Due to being secretly pregnant, Vania had to meet with a private doctor once a month at the house. After the first trimester and morning sickness disappeared, Vania became fresher and her face blushed because it was too healthy
Walking activities so that Vania can exercise is done just by surrounding the house.all done carefully and remain a secret
"Vania has to be taken out, it's not good for her to stay in this house" exclaimed madam Granger looked at Vania who was currently walking back and forth from the living room to the kitchen and then back from the living room kitchen again
"But here it is quite healthy, madam, far from the pollution of the city" replied Mr. Norman who also paid attention to the Vania movement
"I know, it's just that if I became Vania I'd die of boredom"
" Me too" replied Mr. Norman, this time agreeing
"Didn't Julian take the initiative to take him out ? just for a walk?" rianty asked, which was immediately answered with a headband from Mr. Norman
"Eeii.. That boy, didn't he notice Vania?"
"Young master is too busy with his mistress's work"
"But still, this is her son" Rianty exhaled
" Did I just take him out?"
"Don't mistress, young master can be very angry with you"
"Yes you're right, but what a pity this girl is, you don't see her like a dog walking back and forth in her cage"
"Miss, did you just mean to say Miss Vania is like a pet?"
"Not that, oh my goodness, you are" Mr. Norman laughed softly.
" I understand what you mean, ma'am, I'm sorry"
"Oouh.." Vania's startled cry from the kitchen made the two people in the guest room turn their heads on alert, quickly running towards Vania
"Why?" ask Rianty and Mr. Norman at the same time. Vania showed a whimper of happiness on her face, making the two people even more confused
" Ooh..it seems like the baby just kicked me. ooh. came again" Rianty and Norman were silent for a moment and laughed together, Rianty approached Vania while extending her hand to the girl. Feel one move, then another. Rianty laughed lightly
" He's not kicking but he's hiccuping"
"really?" exclaims Vania amazed
"Eum.. Julian always hiccups while still in my stomach. Aah but maybe all the babies are the same" Vania furrowed her brows then rubbed her stomach slowly
" Is he okay if he hiccups?"
"Lucky girl, you must be bored in this house, right?" Vania smiled shyly
"It's okay, I'm pretty healthy here"
"You want me to bring you something when I visit you here again?"
"No need madam, I don't want to bother"
" Eeyy. This is not a hassle" Madam Granger gently rubbed Vania's arm.
"Later to buy you a pretty maternity suit, a healthy snack, ooh. also a knitting tool, you'll be happy if you can spend time knitting"
" You are so kind, madam. Thank you" Rianty smiled sincerely. It was very curious that she heard Vania stop calling her mistress and change to Mama(full).

"I don't understand but I saw a slight change from Mr. Granger" Mira's voice sounded confused as well as curious
"He's rarely been so angry lately" Vania furrowed her brows in confusion. Is it true that Julian is always angry?, which he knows Julian is a man who is very considerate and so gentle, easy to smile and laugh.
It was scary at first, but after 7 months of living with Vania, he could see the other side of the man
Every time he calls Mira, the friend complains because Julian is a real bitch at work, always directly reprimanding Mira, since the incident where Mira left the reception desk and quarreled in the kitchen, Julian really put his eye on the girl. The slightest mistake Mira made would provoke the wrath of Julian Granger
"He really was tamed by something, what about that changed him?" Mira again expressed her curiosity.
Vania bit her lips, wanting to say that it was all because in 4 months Julian would get what he wanted. A baby and Vania are in charge of giving the baby to him
"Van.. Are you listening to me?"
"Eum.. of course.. How's my mom doing?"
"Your mom's healthy, she keeps telling me she misses you, how are you doing there? How's stomach? What's grown up" Vania smiled, rubbing her stomach slowly
" Eum. I'm getting fatter too"
"I'd love to see it. Never mind, now that you just take a break, I'll find out what makes Julian granger look so tame" Mira hung up on him before Vania lodged a protest, she couldn't stop Mira from stopping her curiosity, just a little he gave a clue, his best friend could immediately understand.
Vania leaned her back against the sofa with her eyes staring blankly ahead, she felt bored and constantly confined in this house. Indeed Julian, Mr. Norman and Mrs Granger always brought new books or new things from outside to entertain Vania, but Vania still felt bored. He wanted to go out, see the outside world. Go shopping or visit the playground
Vania exhales, she is no longer allowed to play with Lessie, considering that the dog is not so good for Vania's pregnancy. Plus, the rainy season is almost here, replacing the dry season. Making Mr. Norman busy in the big house, as well as Miss Granger who is busy with events that are often held in the company
Vania often hears from Mr. Norman that Mrs Granger has always been the hostess for parties
"Vania..." Vania turned her head towards the door, it was Julian. His eyes glanced at the clock, it was still late afternoon and the man had already gone home. Quickly Vania stood up and ran over to Julian.
Julian widened his eyes surprised to see Vania running towards him.
"Hey... What are you doing..? don't run" Vania stopped her steps and smiled, never was she happy to see Julian come home
"Master's home yet?" he said, a smile spread on his face, seeing Julian as fast as this made the boredom that had approached him disappear just like that
" Eum. I have to attend a celebration party at the office, I go home to change clothes"
"Ooh.." Julian caught a slight tone of disappointment from Vania's voice
"Why..?" ask the man worried
"No..." Vania shook her head then smiled. Even so Julian could see a slight expression of sadness on that face
" Which clothes do you want?"
" Pick whichever one" Julian answered, walking into his room.
As usual Vania followed Julian to the room, after becoming pregnant Vania was not allowed by Julian to follow him to the bathroom again
Vania will only take out clean clothes and dirty clothes to wash. As Julian bathed, Vania began to pick up party clothes among a row of dark-colored bleazers. Vania stopped her hand in a gray suit. Then take a white shirt and a dark blue tie. And a white handkerchief folded on the suit
Vania could always see Julian in fancy clothes but never saw Julian in the crowd. Vania was sure that the man would look very admirable among those people.
Vania touched her hand on the soft surface of the suit and then placed it on the bed, exhaling her sorrowful breath, no matter how much she wanted to see the man in the middle of the party, it would never materialize. Either now or later
Julian does always wear whatever Vania prepared, although the colors combined by Vania sometimes do not match the likes of the man, Julian still wears it. It was all a form of appreciating what the Woman had done to her, nothing more. Thought Julian
Vania concluded Julian's tie in silence, occasionally turning her eyes towards Julian and smiling lightly as her eyes met Julian's
Julian didn't realize his hand was touching the girl's chin and then raised the girl's head to face him. There was something wrong with this girl's expression, like a feeling of emptiness and loneliness
"Mama's not here?" ask Julian
"The lady's at the party"
"Uncle?"
" Uncle Norman's busy, too.." Vania smiled as a sign that she had finished concluding the Julian tie
Julian wiped his tie and put on his suit. Vania escorts Julian into the house, waving her hand as Julian's car pulls away.
The girl breathed in miserably, she was left alone again in the lonely house, as Julian was about to return home late after attending a party, and Vania was forbidden to wait for him. However, without Julian knowing Vania was always waiting in her room, after hearing Julian entered her own room Vania could only sleep soundly.ย
