The Devil Nerd's

Fourteen

"When it used to lead to bitterness. It's not that the same accident won't happen. But that doesn't mean a smile can't be etched."

"How is Mother Yah?" Ask Vana when she gets to the hospital. The girl hurriedly stepped up, approaching Henry who was only silent in the waiting seat. While Vana knew that her mother was in the front room of her father.

"Mother's condition how Well." Ask Vana a second time. He sat his body next to Henry's. Still breathless Vana again asked Henry the same thing. "Mother's okay, isn't Dad?" Ask Vana. There was a worried look on his face. Moreover, Henry just fell silent not responding to it at all. The man with the status of his legal guardian was just staring blankly at the front room, while he did not understand his father's unusual attitude because he had just arrived. After changing taxis, Vana who had just arrived at her inn suddenly received news that her mother was rushed to the hospital.

"Dad." Call Vana slowly. His hand holding his father's shoulder made the man squeak in shock. Spontaneous head turned. "Zeva?" Vana just muttered softly and then again asked the same question. "How's mama?"

Yang Vana did not understand that his father suddenly rubbed his hair with a big smile. Even though the neutrality of Vana can capture a sadness. Unknowingly Vana breathed a sigh of relief, at least her Father's smile meant that her Mother was fine.

"Mother is very good. Very, very good."

Vana pouted, not understanding her father's intentions.

Henry chuckled slightly, his lips gently dipped his daughter's cheeks and then brought his teeth closer together. "Mother pregnancy."

Vana was shocked. "Mom..Mother pregnant? Zeva's gonna have a sister?" Vana's words of disbelief made Henry chuckle and then nod. At that time also Vana's body lunged at his father's body with a tight hug. "Zeva pleased. Zeva was so happy, her face must be pretty like Barbie." Vana was silent for a while when she felt something was wrong with her words, but Vana did not know what it was.

'Beautiful like barbie?.' Henry's voice in his heart. A glimpse of the past still lingers in his memory, as Vana says the same thing.

The sound of the door frame made Henry let go of his embrace. There was a woman dressed as a doctor who was still visible in her old age. Henry recognized her very well, the woman was the same person 3 years ago. The old woman who helped deliver her wife three years ago. Soon Henry stood up to the woman doctor named Wanda.

Wanda looked at Henry. His hand was about to shake Henry's hand. "Congratulations, the fetus that Mother Anna conceived was fine despite the impact. I'm sure Anna's conceived fetus this time is stronger than ever."

Wanda's words were clearly incomprehensible to Vana. The girl looked up to see her father. "What does a doctor mean? Stronger than before? Zeva doesn't understand Well." Vana's question made Henry stutter in reply. "T-nothing." Henry said and immediately entered his wife's inn.

Vana is not a fool who does not understand that his father is evading him. Vana could only sigh slowly. His head turned towards Vanno beside him, the man was smiling as usual. The warm smile that Vana always saw.

"Thanks, you want to take me."

Vanno nodded at her sweet smile.

For a moment Vana was stunned. Vanno looks very handsome when she smiles at him. Next Vana was shocked. I just couldn't stop thinking about his thoughts. Wasn't Vanno smiling all this time?

Vana clucked then scratched her head which was not itchy at all. "Vanno, you don't want to go home?

"The last time you ate this morning. Are you hungry?" Sahut Vanno deliberately switched topics.

"W-You?" Vanno asked furrowed, making sure that her hearing was fine. Vana knows Vanno likes it but, that fast? Not shy, clandestine, codes or anything like that. Thought Vana.

"Since when have you used me you're the same as me?" Vana continues closer to Vanno.

Vanno scratched his head which was not itchy at all. "Let's have lunch." His words without warning immediately pulled Vana's hand to follow him.

Vanno shook his head slowly as he chuckled amusedly. "If you eat, don't talk. Like a little kid." Vanno's hand rubbed a grain of rice on her cheek.

Vana. "Spring yeah."

"Un." Vanno nodded like a child. "Do you want to add?" Tanya Vanno looked at the dishes Vana started to run out one by one.

Vana shook her head and took a tissue and rubbed her lips. "Gue is full. I don't like to eat much."

Vanno raised her eyebrows. "It's not that you eat all the time."

"Gue has to eat a lot so I don't get as sick as I used to."

"Sick as first?" Ask Vanno in panic. "Lo hurts what? you are not papa. Do we need to go to the doctor now." Said worried.

"No need. I am not papa." Now." Vana said shaking her hand.

"How was it?"

"Lo want to know?" Vanno nodded quickly. Vana chuckles amusedly at the guy's enthusiasm.

"What's the pay." Hearing this, Vanno sighed and took some money out of his wallet. "One million is enough?"

Vana grinned then nodded small.

"First, when I was a kid. I am the most lazy when told to eat. Sometimes in the morning I prefer to eat fruit instead of rice and at night I prefer not to eat. And when I'm in my room I can sleep all day without eating or drinking. Even at school I prefer to stay in class until I go home because I am lazy to get out. It lasted a very long time maybe it was one of my causes of kidney pain and it's been chronic, aggravated I also had gastric disease back then."

"Gue must be operated as soon as possible, if not the consequences on my own life. My parents did not know that I often felt sick to my stomach. I also never told them and not that they did not care but my parents at that time were really busy people. Although grandma and grandpa also sometimes come to the house, but when they arrive they will be in their own world."

"But at breakfast I accidentally passed out and they finally found out about the disease I was experiencing. They finally really noticed me. For almost half a year I was in their custody, whether in terms of eating or anything. And after I had surgery, my kidney was new and I was completely healed. After that my family is more possessive of my same, almost for a few months I was offered continuous food with my family. And, finally, it became a habit. I have a lot of food." Vana smiled faintly ending her story.

"But now you're not papa, are you?"

Vana shakes. Unknowingly Vanno breathed out his leg.

Vanno thought of asking Vana something more. About what had been curious about all this time.

"I want to know. Why was it that on the beach yesterday, you groaned and looked angry? When I say kidnapping?" Vanno asked while she kept her last word. His hand pulled something out of his wallet.

"Is my savings enough? The total is not less than a billion."
