Sunlight began to rise in the western horizon. The moon is preparing to display its beauty between the clouds and the stars. The wind blew slowly and quietly, greeting through the room window.
Erica was focusing on the book that was in her hands. Books with strange covers and strange smells. Many sentences that he did not understand so much that he made him read it repeatedly.
"Damn it! Where did he get this book?!" pissed Erica.
Krieet.
Suddenly there was the sound of feet resting on the wooden floor. Erica turned to the source of the voice. "Rose, when did you wake up?"
Rose smiled faintly, the woman put away the hair child on her face then looked at Erica.
"It looks like you're very upset with Revon. You've cursed four times" Rose replied.
"I think she'll get better after marrying you. Haahh .. Oh, Rose I don't mean, hmm I just like this, uh …."
"Hahaha, yes I understand. He's still just as annoying, isn't he?" added Rose.
"Yes, right. Okay, forget about him. I'm here to ask you how you are. How are you, Rose?" ask Erica.
Rose stood up from the bed and walked over to Erica who was sitting on the sofa by the window. "I'm doing fine. How're you? I hear you .. getting familiar with Robert."
Erica put on her smirk and shook her hand.
"Don't expect me to tell you about my love. Enough of me and him to know."
"Not at all?"
"No."
"Disappointing," seduced Rose.
Erica shrugged both of her shoulders. "You're the main character, not me."
"alright. Then what are you here for? I'm not sure you just want to know about me?"
Erica closed the book in her hand and placed it on the table beside her.
"I know you're not okay, you know we've become part of another life. Life other than human. So everything that you think is weird or makes you embarrassing isn't necessarily like that. You can tell me, I'll help you." Erica explained.
Rose leaned her body against the sofa, trying to put everything in her head together to become a sentence.
"I don't know. From these few days, I feel hungry more often. Especially at midnight. It's not like me" Rose explained.
"That's all?"
"Ehhm .. Then yesterday I, and Revon spent time together in the pool. We chatted and joked, then when our bodies were close together .. I smelled a different scent from Revon's body. A scent that could blind my mind, as if inviting me to taste–"
"–Blood?" sela Erica's.
Rose gulped and slowly nodded her head confirming. Erica was silent trying to think of all possibilities.
Erica suddenly stood around the sofa and looked at Rose closely. Rose who was somewhat surprised immediately straightened up her sitting position.
"Am I in a serious illness?" ask Rose.
Erica was still silent and just nodded her head. Erica's hand grabbed Rose's hair and examined the woman's entire neck.
"Am I going to die?" ask Rose again.
Erica pulled Rose to her feet and led the woman to the bathroom. "You're dying."
"What?!" scream Rose.
Rose almost took Erica's words seriously before Rose saw a mischievous smile on Erica's lips.
Rose's screams were heard by Revon in his study. Sontak Revon immediately approached the owner of the voice.
Cklek.
Rose and Erica who had just arrived at the bathroom doorway instantly stopped looking at Revon who had entered the room with one eyebrow raised.
Revon looked at Erica with a gaze demanding an answer. That made Erica roll her eyes in annoyance.
"I told you not to eavesdrop, right?" ask Erica.
"I'm not eavesdropping but I'm not deaf" Revon replied.
"Revon, we talked about this before" Erica said.
"I'll just shut up and wait on the couch" Revon said.
"No, get out of the room and don't come back until I'm done!" exciting Erica.
Revon seemed to ignore Erica's words. As she was about to walk to the sofa, Rose let out a voice. "Revon, give us some time to chat together. Can you come out now?"
It was very desirable for Revon to stay in the room and hear everything in person. Revon stared at Rose for quite a while, the man then turned towards the exit.

Arriving at the bathroom, Erica asks Rose to open the dress she is wearing. Then Erica took out a small bottle of deep blue liquid from her jacket pocket.
"I want you to drink this liquid. This liquid is to help me feel something bad in your body" Erica explained.
Rose who had taken off her dress immediately drank the blue liquid Erica gave her. Rose felt a cold sensation from the liquid slowly entering from her mouth. Erica stood in front of Rose and closed her eyes. Thin smoke wandered around from Erica's body towards Rose's body. It formed a thin layer of smoke all over Rose's body and disappeared after a few seconds.
"It has. You can wear your dress again" Erica said.
Rose followed Erica's orders. Erica frowned for a moment, and it was quite disturbing to Rose. "So, is this bad?"
Erica smiled slightly and then came out of the bathroom. Erica opened the room door and shouted out to Revon. After Revon came, Erica asked Rose and Revon to sit quietly so she could talk without any distractions.
Revon glanced at the book lying on the table. "What about the book?"
"Yes, I've read it but only a small part of it I get. I had a hard time understanding the book."
"I don't want to know, you have to understand all the contents of the book. Faster is better" Revon said.
"You look like my teacher, why don't you just teach?"
"I wouldn't have a student like you" Revon replied.
Rose who had just been silent, suddenly made a sound. "May I be pregnant?"
Hearing that, Revon stares at Rose who is next to him in surprise. While Erica tried to digest Rose's words.
"I can't give you any certainty yet, but I'll try to find out more. Revon, I'm going to borrow Robert for 2 weeks to help me understand this book. Okay, I'll go first" Erica said.
Erica picked up the book on the table while holding a smile, Erica hurried away from Rose's room.
Silent for a few minutes, a word did not come out of their mouths. Rose just lowered her head, she also felt surprised by what she had just said. Rose also still felt Revon's reluctant gaze move away from her.
A second later, Revon suddenly sat down quietly before Rose. Rose tried to get the man to stand up and go back to sitting on the sofa with him. But Revon remained motionless at all.
Revon laughed but also cried. It made Rose laugh at him.
"I don't know what to say ... But obviously, I hope that what you said earlier is the truth" Revon said.
Rose rubbed Revon's hair and kissed the man's forehead. "Are you happy if I'm really pregnant?"
"Of course."
"What if I'm not pregnant?"
"We can still try again. Whatever happens I'll stay here, with you."
Rose pulled Revon into her arms, spilling all the weight of her mind. Revon tightened his embrace and let Rose cry to her satisfaction.
•••
After being satisfied crying to make both eyes slightly swollen, now Rose said that her stomach was hungry and wanted to eat outside.
"Then you take a shower. You'll need time–"
Cup.
Rose kissed Revon's lips and walked towards the bathroom. Revon looked at the woman without turning a single look. Rose started taking off her dress, giving Revon a nice view as Rose did not close the bathroom door.
Revon got off the sofa and walked towards the bathroom. By the time Revon got to the bathroom, Rose had gotten into the shower cabin and turned on the water faucet. Immediately Revon took off all his clothes and caught up with Rose. The man stood right behind Rose.
"Didn't you ask me to take a shower first?" mumbling Rose.
Revon slightly growled softly feeling the warm water that was slowly drenching his body. "I know what you're doing."
Rose turned around and looked at Revon. "I just took a shower."
"Hmhm," replied Revon.
Revon took the shampoo and started massaging Rose's head slowly. While Rose just stood still and stared at the athletic body that was plastered in front of him.
"When was your last sport?" ask Rose.
Revon was somewhat astonished by the question his wife asked. But he still answered. "It's been a while. I don't remember more exactly."
After finishing with the shampoo, Revon picked up the soap. Revon did everything gently and slowly.
"Why are you so handsome?" ask Rose again.
"You must be very hungry."
"That's not the answer" Rose protested.
Revon finished cleaning Rose. Revon led the woman out of the shower. "You get ready, the sooner the better. Okay?"
Rose was still standing outside the cabin staring at Revon. The man looked back at Rose. Unexpectedly, Revon pulled Rose's nape and devoured the woman's lips. Not soft but not rough anyway. Enough to make Rose realize and immediately do Revon's orders.
After seeing Rose disappear behind the bathroom door, Revon re-entered the shower cabin and turned the cold water faucet to calm his provoked passion.
Revon finished the ritual and came out of the bathroom. Entering the walk in closet, Rose was drying her hair with a hairdryer in front of the dressing table. Black sleeveless dress wrapped her slender body.
Within minutes, Revon was ready in a black shirt and black pants. His hair was still half wet a little he trimmed with fingers.
Revon approached Rose who was standing looking at her overall appearance in the mirror. Their views met with admiration for each other. Revon hugged Rose and kissed her neck gently.
"We're leaving now?" ask Revon.
"Come on!" reply Rose.
The woman pulled Revon's hand up to the porch. Revon does not see Robert who is usually always on standby. That made Revon call Robert.
"Revon, did you forget?" ask Rose.
"Forgot?"
"So before leaving Erica said that she would take Robert with her to help understand the contents of the book" Rose explained.
"Ah, but I haven't given permission, have I?"
Rose held back a smile looking at Revon who was somewhat annoyed by Erica's behavior. Inevitably Revon pulled out his own car from the garage. Rose and Revon leave the house.
