Johan Baroto did not not not know, Vania began to love him sincerely. Many times he brushed it off, but he himself did not deny, he was also already affectionate with the woman who deserved to be his son. Only, Johan Baroto was more able to suppress his feelings. For him, making Vania happy was more important.
Vania's attitude when they were alone like this made Johan Baroto waver.
“Daddy, is Vania not pretty enough for Daddy?”
“Vania, what the fuck are you? Of course you are a beautiful woman, not just for Daddy, everyone admires your beauty.”
“Why doesn't Daddy love Vania like a girl?” sulking, heading,
“Vania, don't get me wrong about this. Daddy only ...”
“Just think of Vania like the others. Secretary, personal assistant, clerk? Vania doesn't deserve that.”
Slowly Vania removed her hand from Johan Baroto's neck. Vania's words made Johan Baroto feel guilty.
“Vania, that's not what Daddy.” means
Vania moved away, she walked into the kitchen, wiping away her tears. I don't think he deserves to behave like this. Daddy's been so nice to her. This feeling must be strongly suppressed.
“Daddy what do you want to eat tonight? We eat at home or out?”
“There is a chef who will prepare our dinner, Vania.”
“Alright, Vania to room first.”
Vania turned towards her room. All outside of his plan, he really misses Daddy a lot. The feeling that had been growing along with the man's patience was guiding him. Turns out he was wrong. Daddy only considered him an employee, as did Barli who considered him nothing more than a secretary.
But there is one thing that matters. Vania is more trustworthy guarding all her possessions and assets. Johan Baroto has other plans. He'll give it all to Vania. Treasure, trust, love. Vania deserves it.
“Vania, we can have fun after all the work affairs are in order. Tomorrow we will meet an important person, you have to sign all the necessary documents. Earlier Daddy wanted to ask, can Daddy trust you more than Barli and Liana?”
Vania scrunched her forehead. Actually, he did not want to discuss the problem that made him think. Vania just wants to relax and have fun. But apparently, Daddy wants to talk about something more important. Vania knew when Daddy could be rebutted as a debating friend, and when he should obey like a subordinate. Now Daddy's talking to him like a boss to the boys.
Wait, that's not it. Vania felt more Daddy was in need of someone who could be trusted. Soul mates, like wives where secrets are kept. There was a finely combing denyar on the side of his heart that suddenly warmed up. All right, be whatever Daddy wants, no problem.
“Tomorrow you will sign important files as shareholders of all Daddy.” companies
Vania was in disbelief. The shareholders? For Vania this was too shocking. How could everything go so fast. Not the treasure he had been looking for. His closeness to Daddy caused another feeling. A different taste than he had ever felt to Avan, Dino, or Barli.
The signing of the transfer of shares went as Daddy planned. Vania was happy, though clearly confused on her face. What if Barli or Liana find out. Does this not add to their hatred for him.
“All haters will see friends as opponents. Conversely, a lover always sees the opponent, is a friend who has not been approached.” As if understanding what Vania was thinking, Daddy calmed down.
That night they spent time in Kozue, enjoying food and drinks while looking at the view overlooking Tokyo. A romantic dinner was given by Daddy for Vania's achievement. Shabu-shabu with premium meat wagyu became the mainstay of the restaurant with a setting view can see Mount Fuji in the distance.
If that night could be continued with warmth in bed, complete is the happiness of Vania. No doubt he needs a man's caress. This time it was the right guy. It was as if Daddy was taking him flying high, then throwing him to earth. The next day Daddy returned to Jakarta, and Vania returned to Melbourne.
***
The work in the office one by one successfully completed Vania. As Daddy promised, Bangkok is the next city he will visit. Manage all projects and supervise several work partners. Vania becomes deft and sharper in her business intuition. Daddy was right to give him more chances. Not just to succeed. Many of Vania's jobs are not as hopeful. If so, Vania will sulk and ask to return to Jakarta. However, Daddy had a thousand and one reasons to revive Vania's spirit.
One afternoon, as the rain was pouring down on Bangkok, Vania had a video call with her mother.
“Some days it's not too good, Nak.”
“Why, Ma. Mama used to carry Aileen to wash her blood, right?”
“Iya, Mama follow all Aileen schedules. He is now very passionate about painting. Last week he entered a painting competition, ushered in by Avan. Chances are she's exhausted, even though Mama has reminded.”
“Aileen should not be too tired. I'll talk to Avan later, so he doesn't take Aileen out too often, Ma.
“This is even Aileen who asked, Vania. Avan just complied with his son's request. If only you had seen his eyes sparkle when he entered the competition, Nak.”
“Stay, Avan must be warned, Ma. Aileen is different from kids her age.”
“Vania, until when will you keep Aileen's true condition a secret to Avan?”
“Come, Ma. Vania's not ready to say all this. Vania doesn't want Avan to worry too much, then has a plan to bring Aileen.”
“Darling, for the sake of Aileen, you should tell her immediately.”
“Good, Ma. Later Vania will try to talk to Avan. Actually later if next week go home, Vania will talk directly.”
“What? You're coming home next week, son? Alhamdulillahot. Mama is happy to hear it.”
“Yey, Mama wants to go home, Aileen asked for a gift from Barbie doll to her house, yes, Ma.” His little daughter suddenly nodded in front of the camera, making Vania laugh. Aileen's face looked beautiful, though it did not look cheerful.
“Iya, Darling. Mama will bring Barbie doll and her house. Wait for Mama to come. Aileen should listen to grandma. Eat and sleep regularly, also take medicine according to time.”
“Aileen bored taking medicine keep!” The tiny face moved away from the camera while nagging indistinctly. Vania smiled and cried. His hand shuts his mouth, almost crying. She didn't want her mother to be sad to see her cry.
“Yes first, Ma. Nitip Aileen.” Vania turned off the video call. His heart was burning to hear Aileen's words just now.
Since the age of three, Aileen has been familiar with various drugs. Until now Aileen has entered the stage of dialysis due to Leukemia he suffered. Vania had promised herself to make Aileen recover, no matter what the cost. That was the reason Vania wanted to get close to Barli and accepted Avan's crazy plan.
Vania's eyes looked at her flickering phone screen. One message from Daddy made his eyes widen.
[Daddy has our romantic night at the five-star hotel ready for your return next week. Single bed, for both of us]
Does this mean Daddy can accept his presence as a woman who loves with his heart?
