Damian Mansion
The sound of the hairdryer machine was heard, the wind was set warm so as not to make the small head overheat.
"How was that? You happy?" the baritone voice asked as it flicked the long curly hair.
"I.iya." replied Anna who felt uncomfortable because the man was drying his hair.
"Happy? You can only have fun with me" said the man in a different tone.
"La..then why was a..you allowed it?" anna asked nervously.
"Am I getting some rewards?" the man answered while dancing the hairdryer he was holding.
Anna immediately turned around, she leaned on the man standing behind her.
"Grabble?" her question cringed.
"Hm, you've had fun with me so you have to make me feel good too" Lucas said, holding the girl's chin.
Anna was silent, she knew what the man was asking for. Makes her happy to do something else.
"Sir!" The girl instantly stood up before the thought of the man in front of her increasingly floated dirty.
Lucas did not answer but looked at the girl who suddenly called out to him.
"How about I cook you something! You've never tried the food I made, have you?" ask her who is trying to divert something else.
"I've eaten" Lucas quickly refused because what he wanted was not that.
"Sir? You tau? Trying something new like eating something late at night might improve your vision!" said Anna, trying to persuade the man.
"My eyesight improved? There's a hoard of disease." Lucas replied to the girl who was trying to divert her.
"Here you go up first to Ranj-"
"Come on! I made food!" his words immediately drew the man's hand.
"You like her wanting to die fast? Dare to cut my words, "The dark-looking Lucas immediately jolted Anna.
"Ke..why would I die? Sa. I will live a long time with a.you Sir.." replied Anna with a frightened smile when she heard the men's threat.
"You want to live a long time with me?" asked Lucas who was a little distracted and liked the words he had just heard.
"Yes, of course!" anna answered, who had to keep smiling.
"You like it, don't you?" asked Lucas again as he walked towards the kitchen.
"Yes, Sa. I like you!" anna said according to the answer the man wanted to hear.
Lucas smiled faintly hearing her, he followed the girl's footsteps.
15 Minutes later
The man stared flatly at the food he was serving.
Not a fancy food such as grilled meat, steak, soup or as her but rather a bowl of instant noodles with eggs and leeks on top of her.
"You mean this? The food I made for me?" asked Lucas who was very far from his expectations.
"Sure!" replied Anna smiling who in front of her was also already the same bowl of instant noodles.
It was very rare for him to eat that food since he knew the man in front of him.
Girls who live alone with full of economic limitations certainly make food full of micin as a mainstay.
"It's late and you're giving it to me?" ask Lucas again.
He does not eat food like that, junk food is something that he avoids because he loves his health.
"Try Sir first" Anna told the man.
Lucas took a breath of his before lifting his spoon and fork.
One mouthful went into his mouth, chewy and long noodles with a savory and spicy taste plus the fragrant aroma of chives and fat from eggs cooked half-cooked it fused on his tongue.
"Enak right?" anna asked the man who looked surprised by what she was eating.
"It's normal" Lucas replied and began to resume his feed.
"You tried it the first time?" anna asked the man who seemed to like the food she made.
There is no answer at all, there is only a man who looks like food at an economical price that looks greedy.
"I also ate" Anna said as she looked at the man and wanted to raise her spoon and fork.
"Good mak-"
"You didn't eat this, did you? You tau? Don't throw food away." said the man who picked up the girl's bowl of instant noodles in front of him.
"Eh? Sa.i mak-"
Anna's words stopped the man had returned to eat his noodle rations and he was just silent while holding his chin.
"I never eat expensive food and he never eat cheap food, what is it because of this we met?" his murmuring that shook his head with a sad look at the food that he missed was also seized by the man.
"What did you say?" asked Lucas who stopped eating for a moment and turned to look at the teenage girl.
Anna smiled and made her blue eyes stare like a scythe, she shook her head, "No, good-bye sir" she told the man, although she was upset.
Lucas did not say anything else, he returned to eating the food that he had been trying for 30 years in his life.
10 Minutes later.
The handsome man seemed to be drinking the mineral water that was in his glass, he looked towards the girl who was waiting for him in front.
"Why are there so few servings for adults? Isn't that a kid's portion?" ask Lucas to the girl.
Not a small portion, eat most of you!
Anna smiled with minimal comment. At least that guy won't make her stay up tonight.

Hospital
Prangs!
The woman looked raging, she threw the food given to her towards her daughter.
"Who say can you decide how good it is?!" ask Mrs. Laura is so angry with her daughter that she agrees to her right-hand surgery.
"You need Ma's surgery, Sam just wants Mama to be fit lag-"
"Your disobedient son!" his words are certainly not able to accept his circumstances.
"Ma.sorry.." the girl looked down softly.
The father had still not returned and out of nowhere at the moment, probably dodging the loan sharks who were chasing him.
While the girl just looked down did not know what to say to the mother who looked so hit.
"Ma.maaf.." said his softly to the mother.
He did not know what to do, the attacker who made his mother disabled was not found at all while he also had to pay the hospital bills that before asking for a suspension.
"Your color! Because you're a disabled Mama!" mrs. Laura who cried and screamed into one at her daughter.
He blamed the decision of his only puppet princess who approved the amputation of his right hand, pouring out all his unjust and angry feelings.
......................
4 Days later
Damian Mansion.
Anna knocks on the door of the man's room, intending to ask permission to go to group work.
"Come in,"
Hearing one word from within, Anna opened it slowly.
"Sir? I am***-"
"Really! I'll just take you!" said the man who pulled the teenage girl's hand into his room.
"Eh? Why you?" asked Anna who was surprised by the man who suddenly pulled her.
"When I had thought about not leaving again, but because of you I don't think it's too bad" said the man who looked at the confused face of the teenage girl.
This is the day where his family's annual dinner, and he actually intends to not come again because he does not like the tense atmosphere that can make his stomach hurt.
"You busy? Si..please continue your work.." said Anna who wants to run away again.
"We need to dress you up a little bit" said the girl who looked up and started calling her makeup artist.
Anna was silent, she came at the wrong time which made her regret her decision a minute ago.
......................
Damian Family Mansion
"Gee!" those dark blue eyes looked fascinated with a building that was no less luxurious than the place he lived before him.
Lucas turned to the girl who always looked full of expression on his face, or maybe because he could only see the girl's expression?
"Eh? Ma..sorry Sir.." said Anna softly when she realized the man was watching her and of course she was afraid of being angry because of being tacky.
"You can do anything, and if you make trouble it's also better." replied Lucas who clasped the girl's hand to enter.
...
Anna was speechless, a silent atmosphere on the long table filled with various foods.
While a man who looked the oldest by sitting at the end of the table continued to glance and pay attention to the teenage girl who was invited to join even though he was not a nuclear family.
"Ehem!" Mr. Ehrlich coughed despite not feeling itchy in his throat at all.
"So this is why you asked to add a chair?" he asked his first grandchild who looked calm like an ancient Roman statue.
"You've seen it, I think, I don't need to answer anything anymore" said Lucas, who was so calm that the people at the place took a breath.
"But it's impolite to bring a woman who doesn't know her origins to this dinner!" sahut a woman who is the aunt of the man.
"Bi? Relax, after all, this is dinner with grandfather after he woke up" said Diego who immediately calmed the woman named Veronica.
"Who are you calling grandpa!" the man looked furious with his stiff face similar to his first grandchild.
Not that he was really angry with his supposed call but rather he who felt his second grandson was defending his first grandchild.
He really did not want the events of both parents grandchildren of his first wife who had died was repeated.
"I call myself" answered Diego, who took his breath away and was used to his grandfather's attitude.
The atmosphere again gripped, Anna was silent like other planetary creatures in a different world when she was taken to a place so alien.
"Hey boy?" the old man's voice that sounded raspy typical of the elderly was indeed.
Anna remained silent, unaware that she was the one being called.
"Hey? You are! Pink dress!" said Mr. Ehrlich once again called out to the girl by mentioning the color of the dress.
"Eh? The cake? Uh no, Ups!" Anna was so surprised and confused how to call the man because the man had just rejected the call of his biological grandson.
"Who is your name" asked Mr. Ehrlich on the girl.
"Anna," Anna replied briefly without mentioning her last name.
"You were forced to come here?" ask him again.
He who has since consciously heard rumors that his two grandchildren were following in the footsteps of his parents would only consider the girl like a transition like what was once done by his two sons who keep pretending to be married and have children when it's all just a cover for his hidden desires.
"I? Yes," replied Anna who unknowingly, "Eh! Wasn't it! Sa.. I really want to come!" keep him on the old man again.
While the other siblings smiled slantedly at his hearing, those who spread rumors that Lucas and Diego were also lovers like mending the two men's father before him.
"Don't make him nervous, you're too creepy to look at" Lucas told his grandfather.
"Shut up! I told you to talk?" said Mr. Ehrlich on his first grandson's.
Lucas did not say anything else, he was silent and he was also used to the attitude of the grandfather.
"How much are you paying?" ask Mr. Ehrlich, who wants to know his grandchildren, pays what the price is for the woman who is made a shield to cover the true forbidden romance.
"Sa. I'm not in ba...pay." replied Anna Iirih who felt increasingly nervous.
"Your questions are disrespectful" Lucas told his grandfather.
"Then why did you come?" ask Mr. Ehrlich who does not care about the words of the grandson.
Anna felt so depressed, the same aura and even more concentrated than the man who had a hobby of skinning someone.
Duk!
"Java!" urged Mr. Ehrlich stamped his wand on the floor.
"Ka.karn I want dinner!" replied Anna who shouted in surprise and closed in so nervously.
"Huh? What's?" the man could not believe the absurd answer that came out of the girl's mouth.
Not only himself, the other relatives did not expect that such an answer would come out.
"Ja.so Ki.we when do we eat it?" anna asked in a voice that started to squeak while opening her eyes slowly.
Lucas smiled faintly at her, he brought the right person to face his unfailing grandfather.
