Lucy, who had just seen Alan's arrival with Jimmy, breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at the two men full of happiness. For an entire week, he had to take over both of their jobs. Plus a nearby office phone that kept ringing incessantly to ask about Alan's whereabouts because neither the man's phone nor Jimmy could be contacted at all.
“Mr. Drax, Mr. Davis.” Lucy is happy. Finally, he could breathe free air. For him, the arrival of the two men was the most beautiful gift for him today.
“Lucy, are you okay?” Ask Alan. I want him to laugh when he sees Lucy's current condition. The pale face is accompanied by panda eyes which is evidence if the woman is sleep deprived.
“Yes. Of course.” Lucy replied quickly with a big smile. But still could not hide the tired look on his face. Not only did he take over Alan and Jimmy's duties, he also had to go overtime and only came home when the clock had shown twelve o'clock at night.
“Just calm down, I'll give you a day off.” Lucy's face suddenly turned bright. Both of his eyes were also happy.
“Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Drax.” Say Lucy with both hands cupped in front of the chest. Indeed, his sacrifice did not end in vain.
“But after you helped me finish all the work that was there today.” Alan's casual remark just now instantly made Lucy stay in place. The woman again imagined a neatly arranged row of files on Alan's desk. There was no other choice, today, he had to return overtime.
“Good, Mr. Drax.” Lucy replied weakly.
Upon hearing Lucy's reply, Alan immediately stepped into his room followed by Jimmy. And his gaze was immediately fixed on the pile of files on his desk.
“Jimmy.” Hearing Alan's call just now, Jimmy swiftly walked to the man's desk and took some files. After feeling confident if he took enough, Jimmy immediately stepped towards the sofa and sat quietly on it. Inwardly, he could only sigh heavily.
“Hah.” Alan who had just sat down and leaned back on his work chair, suddenly sighed violently. The man's head looked up with both eyes closed.
“What's up, Mister?” Ask Jimmy. It was strange to see the uninspired Alan when they had just returned from vacation.
“Bianca regurgitates all the food she eats.” This morning, after putting down her two pieces of brown bread, Bianca walked straight into the bathroom. The woman did not mention the food in her stomach. Even the chocolate milk he made was also the end in the closet.
“And what's worse, Bianca doesn't want to get close to me.” Alan recalled the rejection that Bianca gave when she was about to wipe the sweat on the woman's forehead. At first, Alan suspected that Bianca was just a joke. But apparently, the woman did not hesitate to throw him out of the room. Bianca even told him to take a bath somewhere else.
Jimmy who heard a frustrated speech Alan can only smile a little. Bianca has truly kept her master within her control. Not only that, Bianca was also able to make Alan obey every word without rejection at all. As long as it does not harm the woman and the child she contains.

Fiona again exclaimed happily when she had just tidied up Jane's unraveling hair with the bottom that she deliberately made a little curly. Also the lips of the woman he had polished with a soft pink lipstick. This afternoon, Jane's going out to the park with James.
“Jane, are you ready?” Fiona asked as she looked at the woman fixedly. Jimmy had told the two of them earlier that this afternoon, James' doctor would come to take Jane to the park not far from where they lived.
“Ya.” Jane nodded slowly while smiling in a knot as an answer. Jimmy actually kept his promise while they were still on the island. Jane even felt that her heart was racing.
“Come!” Fiona exclaimed in delight when she heard their house bell just ringing. Gently, he clasped Jane's hand and took the woman along to the door.
Doctor James, who had been standing restlessly at Jimmy's doorstep, sighed deeply as he fixed the sleeves of his light blue shirt, which was rolled up to the elbow. To be honest, he couldn't hide his surprise when Jimmy called and asked himself to take Jane to the park.
After believing that his performance had been perfect, James immediately pressed Jimmy's housebell with hope, he was not nervous when dealing with Jane later. Though this was not the first time they met but his heart inside just kept jumping around happily.
The door to the house that opened slowly succeeded in taking over James's attention. Right in front of him, he could clearly see Jane who was looking at him fixedly while smiling gently. For God's sake, that woman always looks beautiful every time they meet. Or rather, it was Jane who always looked beautiful in her eyes.
“Doctor James.”
“Huh?” Fiona's quiet calling resuscitated James who was focusing on looking at the beauty presented before his eyes at this time.
“Jane, for you.” Smiling with embarrassment, James handed Jane a bouquet of red roses.
Jane felt that the blood all over her body again rustled strangely when James called her name with gentleness. Especially when the man looked at her with a smile.
“Thank you, Doctor.” Jane was happy.
“Doctor, don't you want to take Jane to the park?” Fiona who saw Jane and James just standing in silence, immediately took the initiative by asking the man.
“Ah, correct. I came here to take you for a walk to the park.” James smiled shyly when he realized that he was just standing in silence like a fool. This is not the first time he has asked a woman to go out together. Strangely, he was confused as to what to do.
“Are you willing to go with me?” James asked, extending his hand to Jane. Both of his eyes were staring at the woman.
“Ya.” With both cheeks adorned with a red hue, Jane slowly welcomed the man's hand. And just as James clasped tightly onto her hand, Jane could clearly feel something strange tickling her stomach.
“Mrs. Davis, we go first.” James said to Fiona who immediately got a quick nod from the woman. James could even clearly see the happy twinkle in Jimmy's wife's eyes.

Arriving at a park that is not too crowded, James immediately invited Jane to sit on one of the long wooden benches located not far from the garden lights. The man didn't even realize he was holding Jane's hand again.
“Jane.” Call James softly. He immediately turned to look at Jane. The woman looks beautiful in blue long jeans combined with a long-sleeved knit shirt in cream. Also black flat shoes.
Jane looked to the side. Reply looking at James who had been looking at him first. Before long, both corners of her lips lifted upwards. Form a sweet smile. The successful body made James sculpt.
“James.” Jane immediately calls James when she feels that the man is just staring at her in silence.
“Jane, do you feel happy to go with me?” Ask James. He still did not let go of his hand to Jane.
James knew he couldn't hope too much. Jimmy could have asked her to take Jane to the park as one way to make the woman's condition improve. Not more. It's just that James still couldn't hold himself back. He likes—No! He loves Jane. Only, he had not dared to reveal it directly to the woman.
“Ya.” Jane replied, nodding slowly.
They both went back to silence. Every now and then, there was only the happy laughter of a group of children playing together.
After sighing deeply, James looked back at Jane. This time, he looked at the woman with a gaze full of earnestness.
“Jane, can you call my name one more time?” James said to Jane with a nod of his head.
“James.”
“Extapose again.
“James.”
James felt that he could no longer escape. He loved Jane very much. Right now, he wanted to tell Jane everything. Whatever the woman's answer, James will take it with a chest of air.
“Not as a doctor, but as a man.” Jane was again stunned in her seat as James stroked her right cheek. Both of his eyes were even instantly closed to enjoy every gentle touch of the man on his skin.
“Ya.” Answer Jane briefly. It was the only word that could come out of his mouth.
“Are you sure?” Ask James again. Unsatisfied with the answer she gave him.
“I'm sure.” This time, Jane answered without the slightest hesitation. He didn't even know where to get the courage to answer that confidently. Jane just followed her own heart.
He really likes James. Not just because he was the doctor. Nope. But because James always treated her with sincerity. No matter what the conditions are.
“Can I take your words as an answer to your true feelings for me?” Without hesitation, James landed a brief kiss on the back of Jane's hand which he still held tightly.
“I like you, James.” Said Jane sure.
Without saying a word, James lowered his head silently before Jane while reassuring himself that he had not heard wrong. But when James looked up again, Jane's gentle smile and warm gaze were more than enough to prove it.
“Thank you.” James immediately pulled Jane's body into his arms. Her hand was raised up to gently stroke the woman's long hair.
Inwardly, James was unceasingly grateful. At first, he feels hopeless and lost hope of being reunited with Jane. But apparently, God said something else. In the midst of his sadness and despair, Jimmy suddenly contacted him and asked him to return to be the woman's personal doctor. Never once did he feel this happy when his feelings were avenged. Jane's the only woman who can do it.
“James.”
“Jane, I love you. Love you so much.” James spoke with sincerity. After removing her wound on Jane's body, she gently kissed the woman's forehead. It doesn't matter if the people around you see both of them.
Jane, who felt a warm kiss on her forehead, slowly closed her eyes. He also loved James and eventually chose to believe in him.
Can not be denied, if all this time Jane was always involved in an inner quarrel with herself. There was one part in her that asked her to remain the Jane she used to be. Who should enjoy life by remaining a fool and pretending not to care about the circumstances around him. But one part of him kept screaming and asking him to get up. No matter how he tries to forget, his past and the bitter memories in his life will always be a part of him. Until whenever it is.
In the midst of her desperation, Jane finally realized that Jimmy never once gave up on being by her side. And make him come back to being himself. Jane, who felt that the rest of her life would only be filled with darkness and hatred, gradually found her light again. Not only Jimmy, but also the people who were near the man were willing to accept him without expecting anything. Fiona, Bianca, Alan and James were the ones who looked at him without any pity at all.
Unknowingly, Jane shed tears. Not because he was sad. But instead, he felt very happy because James was the man who was by his side. Who is willing to accept himself. Although no longer perfect as a “women.”
“Jane!” James cried out in panic after releasing his kiss on the woman's forehead and found Jane shedding tears.
Jane who had just opened her eyes, could only laugh a little at the man's panicked face.
“Do you not men—” James is no longer able to continue his speech when Jane hugs his body first. He could only be silent for a while before finally hugging the woman tightly while pecking at the top of his head long enough.
Jane and James both hope that, if the happiness they both feel today, can last forever. Even until they age.

Alan, who had just arrived home at eight o'clock in the evening, was immediately told by Sofie that Bianca had devoured her dinner. The woman also asked to prepare a plate full of pieces of apples, pears and green grapes.
“Sayang.” Call Alan happy when he gets to the open door. Not far from him, he saw Bianca was focused on staring at the television screen while busy feeding her mouth with grapes.
“Stop!” Alan who had just been intending to approach Bianca, was startled by the woman's sudden remark. Not to mention Bianca who was looking at him sharply.
“What?” Alan asked not to understand.
“You can only enter after shower.” Bianca sharp.
“But I want to hug you first.” Alan immediately looked at Bianca pleading. Hopefully, the woman will allow him to hug even if only briefly.
“No! I'm sick of smelling your body!” Alan could only stare at Bianca in disbelief after hearing the woman's sharp speech. Quickly, Alan kisses his own body and finds that he is still fragrant.
“Bianca, I don't smell at all.” Alan's protest was unacceptable. All the body care products it wears are expensive items of famous brands.
“You should shower using my soap and shampoo.” Alan no longer knew what to say to his wife. He was only able to close his eyes while sighing deeply.
“Good, Mrs. Drax.” Alan said resignedly. Hearing the man's reply, Bianca immediately smiled happily.
“You can ask Sofie the soap and shampoo I used.” As if not satisfied torturing him, Bianca again told him to go down to the first floor. The woman really did not allow him to be in the room even if only for a second.
With a slight annoyance, Alan nodded obediently as he walked down the stairs. He has no other choice. Bathing on the first floor was the fastest way he could clean up and meet Bianca.
***
Twenty minutes later, Alan returned to the room, rubbing his hair still slightly wet with a small towel. This time, Bianca no longer forbade it. The woman looked at him with happy eyes.
Good Lord!
“Alan.” Call Bianca quietly after Alan is near the bed and standing in front of her in a sitting position. Quickly, Bianca hugged Alan by the waist while inhaling the scent of fruit emanating from the man's body.
“I miss you.” Bisik Alan while cupping both cheeks Bianca. Asking the woman to look up at him.
“I'm sorry.” Bianca. Realize if his words earlier might have hurt the heart of the man he loved.
Alan flung slowly while smiling softly as an answer.
“I will forgive you if you men—” Bianca directly interrupts Alan's speech by peeping a glance at the man's lips.
“Bianca, I love you. Really love you.”
Alan gently kissed Bianca's lips.********** several times as if to channel all her longings. After feeling satisfied, he turned to sweep his tongue on the surface of the woman's lips. Then it ends with a kiss of love on Bianca's forehead.
“I love you.” Bianca. He asked Alan to lie down next to him immediately.
Tonight, Bianca fell asleep in her husband's warm arms. With Alan stroking gently his stomach.
