Julian stopped the car right on the street, his eyes could not be separated from the rearview mirror looking at Vania, the girl was still smiling when waving her hand earlier, and immediately changed not long after, the girl was still smiling, he knew the girl must be tired of being in that house all day.
It was already the seventh month for the girl without seeing the outside world at all. Julian knew it was none of his business but there was a feeling of tightness in his chest when he saw the girl's unhappy expression
Julian turned the car back to his house and stopped in the yard, calling the girl after she got out of the car. Vania came out with a confused expression
" Is there anything left, sir?"
"Yes.you, take your jacket and get on"
"What..?"
"Hurry on.."
"Oos..All right.wait a minute" Vania ran quickly into the house.
"Hey, quick, but not running" cried Julian, and Vania slowed her steps to hear the screams.Taking her jacket, Vania rushed up to Julian again. The man stood at the passenger door and opened the door for Vania
Julian drove his car out of the yard, they both said nothing during the trip, Vania did not ask where the man was going to take her as well as Julian. Not a hint of where he was going to take the girl.
The trip took almost an hour when Vania saw a vast expanse of beach scenery, the sun almost sank at the end of the ocean, the reddish color above the blue sea makes anyone who saw it say amazed. What a beautiful view he sees now
Vania slowly lowered her car glass and took her hand out the window, touching the blowing wind.
Julian turned his head to see that Vania was pulling her hand out the window, the girl's eyes were closed when her head was blown by the wind, her brown hair was hit by a fresh breeze
Julian was stunned for a long time, how peaceful the girl's face was. The girl's weight had indeed risen from the age of four months, an aura of happiness clearly emanated from her face, making the girl even more beautiful
"You want to stop by there?" julian asked slowly Vania opened her eyes and turned to Julian
" What..?"
" There" pointed Julian, towards the beach
"Can..?"
"Of course.. would you…?"
"Yes, sir, I'd love to" Julian smiled, then pulled his car aside from the road, the beach was not far from the road, they could get to the edge of the beach waves with just a little walk
Vania and Julian got out of the car and walked closer to the waves of the beach, Vania smiled broadly as her feet stepped on the wet sand. He looked back at Julian who had removed his suit and tie, only wearing cloth pants and shirt that had been opened buttons on the top.
The girl held onto her thumping chest, Julian could always make her flutter just by looking at her. How not? The man always looked amazing, even when they started to do the baby's growth process even Vania had felt this, her heart was racing when Julian kissed her, caressed her and hugged her
Vania turned her head forward, for some reason she missed those moments. Since she was pregnant, Julian never touched her again. It's all because the goal has been achieved.
Vania took a deep breath, easing her rapid heartbeat, could it be that she was already in love with that man?. Vania rolled her eyes sideways feeling Julian's presence next to her, Julian's hand holding Vania's wrist
"Be careful" whispered the man
"Yes.." Vania nodded her head, her hands rubbing gently on her already bigger belly
"Aren't you going to the party?" Julian shook his head
"The party doesn't really matter" Julian replied
"You want to take a walk down this beach?"
" Yes.."
"Come.." Julian guided Vania along the shoreline, the sky was dark, but that did not stop either Vania or Julian from continuing to walk down the beach
"Your shoes are so dirty" exclaimed Vania breaking the silence. Julian looked at his shoes
" No need to worry about my shoes"
"But your shoes are very expensive"
"Whatever it is one day will also remain unused"
" It's nice to be rich, not to worry about anything, as long as you have the money to buy anything new" Julian shrugged his shoulders
"That's what money is for" Vania furrowed her eyebrows, yes that's what the old theory is, you can get anything as long as you have money, like Julian who can get anything with his money, including the baby in her stomach at this time
" The poor will do anything to earn money" whispered Vania, as she was willing to conceive Julian's child just to earn money
Julian caught a sad tone from the sentence, before this Julian never cared about the lives of those below him, but hearing such a word spoken from Vania's lips made Julian's chest filled with a sense of tightness
"Before you said you were fired from where you worked, what did you do until you got fired?" Vania looked at Julian
"My mistake was that I was just a high school graduate" Julian hardened his jaw on hearing that, what kind of person would do such a thing?. Wait, Julian did that to some of the employees at his hotel.
The man closed his eyes, his mother was right, Julian never thought of the fate of those he deliberately fired just because of their last education
"I'm sure the person who fired you has no heart" Julian insinuated himself. Vania shook her head
"No sir, he has" replied Vania. Julian raised his eyebrows
"How do you know he has a heart?"
'because that person is the inner kau‘ of Vania
"I'm sure he has a reason, don't you think?" as with anything others have seen about Julian, Vania knows the truth
As Mira always tells her that Julian is a cold and merciless man, which is what people see, but in Vania's eyes, Julian is a warm and gentle man, as now, this man is willing to leave his party to accompany the woman who is pregnant with her child to walk on the edge of the beach. Julian nodded his head
"Maybe" Julian replied.
"Mom always told me, whatever man does must always have a reason, whether they know it or not"
" Why do you always think positively?. You know such people look weak, and they can always be treated at will" Vania laughed softly
"That's why my friend was always mad at me because I was so weak, I didn't even protest loudly when I was fired, in contrast to him who desperately stood up for me"
" It is precisely me who is troublesome, my mother I leave it to him at this time"
" How's your mother doing?" Julian almost forgot, the girl had a mother
"Eum. she's perfectly healthy" Vania was happy to hear Julian ask about her mother's condition.
" Ooh.."
Vania stopped her steps and held her stomach
" Why..?"ask Julian worriedly. Vania was silent for a moment, confirming what was going on
" The baby's hiccuping" Julian's two eyebrows go up
" Hiccups..? she..? in the stomach he can hiccup?"
"Madam Granger said it was common" Vania laughed at Julian's surprised expression
" Really..?" Julian placed his hand on Vania's stomach. The girl held her breath feeling that touch, Julian had never stroked her stomach or anything like that before. Not feeling anything Julian bent over the belly, stuck his ear over Vania's belly, making the girl hold her breath even more.
Vania swallowed her saliva slowly, her chest felt full. Madame Granger often rubbed her stomach but it did not feel as thrilling as it was at the moment
" He didn't move" Julian's voice sounded sad, unable to find any movement in Vania's stomach. Vania smiled and touched Julian's hand and carried it to the lower left side of her stomach
"That's right here"
" Oh.." Julian was surprised when his hand felt a slight shock in Vania's stomach and felt it again
"He was really hiccuping" Julian raised his head to look in amazement at Vania, his hand still holding onto Vania's stomach, feeling another shock there
"Is it often like this?"
"Once in a while, sometimes he kicks"
"REally..?" Julian again had an expression of amazement
"Eum" Vania smiled again, too happy to see the changes in Julian's expression
"If I'm silent he always kicks"
"Why did you just say it now?" Julian furrowed his brows. Right, why he only knows now when Vania has often felt it
"I think master doesn't want to know" Vania lamented
" If it's about the development of the baby, I'm obviously curious" Julian bowed his head in Vania's neck
"From now on you have to tell me about this baby's development"
"Yes. I understand"
Dddrr…
Vania looked at Julian's mobile phone that was shaking from the moment they entered the car, Julian ended the walk by guiding Vania back to her car again. Looking at the name on the screen, Vania knew that Granger was calling her
Julian clucked softly, then picked up the phone he had placed near the handbrake
" Yes ma..?" answer Julian
"Julian Granger, where have you been? The party can't start if you don't come" Madame Granger's voice rang out, even Vania could hear it
"Start without me, I'm not going there"
"What's? Why..? it's an important event, all our colleagues came just to hear your welcome" Mrs Granger fell silent
" Where are you now?" Julian was silent, his eyes were moving left and right, did he have to answer honestly?
"We're taking a walk ma"
" We..? who are you going with?" ask her mother suspiciously. Julian handed over his phone to Vania
"Answ"
" o? Alright.. Hello lady, it's Vania"
"Vania..?" madam Granger's surprised voice could not be covered up
"Eum.. Mr. Granger was taking me to the beach, I will prepare another party dress quickly upon arrival at home so that Mr. Granger can come to the party on time"
"No. It's okay.You guys just keep going. The party could start without Julian"
"What.I'm sorry, madam"
" Eey..no need to apologize, where's Julian?" Vania hands her phone back to Julian
"Yes ma..?"
" Heyy. You should have told me earlier if you were taking Vania for a walk. Yeah, well, no need to come here, you just go with him"
" Eum.. Please apologize for not being able to attend"
"Dear.."
