Vania screamed in pain. Dio's Mother grabbed and pulled her hair until Vania's head felt dizzy and painful.
Dio immediately intervened between the two. With all his might, Dio separated Vania from her mother.
Vania panted. She arranged her messy hair because of Dio's Mother's tug. There were a few strands of her hair that were pulled out by the tight tuft.
"Mom, why did Mama do this to Vania?" reviled Dio. He did not accept his mother's attitude. Her mother was bad for Vania. Dio was disappointed to see all this.
"Why do you say? I hate her!" Dio's Mother shouted back. She looked sharply and furiously at Vania. Dio's Mother index finger immediately pointed at Vania firmly. "You're a girl, aren't you? You don't realize that you have snatched someone's lover?"
Vania's heart was sliced in pain when she heard Mama Dio's words. Vania wanted to come to the hospital to establish a good relationship with Dio's Mother. In fact, Dio's mother even cursed him very badly. This is an embarrassing moment for Vania.
Vania's eyes heat up. She could feel her eyes starting to fill with tears. Vania held herself so that her tears wouldn't spill.
In the next second, Dio's Mother clutched his chest. The pale-faced old woman began to suffocate. Her eyes darted upwards until her eyes turned white. Not long after, Dio's Mama fainted.
"MOM! MOMMY!" shouted Dio panicked. He pressed the button to call the nurse.
Vania was taken aback by all of this. She felt that her arrival only caused chaos.
Not long after, the doctor and nurse came. They immediately checked the condition of Dio's mother. Then, they took Dio's Mother to the Emergency Room.
Vania accompanied Dio with mixed feelings. Dio turned to Vania and embraced her. The man whispered right in Vania's ear.
"I'm sorry, Vanya. Sorry," said Dio. He really felt guilty for what had happened just now.
Vania shook her head. She realized that from the start she was considered a rock nuisance.
Vania released herself from Dio's embrace. Vania's eyes glazed over at Dio.
"Dio, we have to break up," said Vania. "You've seen that your mother hates me. We cannot continue this relationship. Everything is a waste of time. Come back to Rosa."
"I only love you, Vania," explained Dio. He tried to grab Vania's body and hug her. However, Vania already got up from sitting and stood away from Dio.
"I'm not the girl your mother expected me to be. I will be hated forever by your mama. I don't like that," said Vania honestly. "I want to be accepted by the family of the man who will become my husband, Dio. I want to get married in an environment that loves me. I don't want to have to get scolded every day from your mother."
"I can persuade my mother again, Vania," said Dio. He tried hard to convince Vania.
Vania shook her head again. "Your mother only likes Rosa. You have to forget me and you have to marry Rosa. You will love each other later. Trust me. love will come one day," said Vania with tears in her eyes.
Vania's steps moved her back to Dio. She swung her legs and ran quickly away from Dio. Vania called a taxi. She got into a taxi and went home alone.
Along the way, Vania kept crying. She was still lamenting her bad luck. In fact, when Vania got home, she was still sobbing. Vania's crying stopped when her cell phone rang. She took out her cell phone and there was a call from her office news director. She was surprised to get a direct call from her office director. However, she picked it up anyway and hoped she wouldn't get any more bad news.
"Evening, Vania," said the news director. "Yes sir. What is it?"
"Do you have free time tomorrow?"
"I will continue to report tomorrow according to schedule, sir. What is it?"
"Tomorrow there will be a social assistance event at the orphanage. The one who did was Hayam. Please do an interview for him. Later I will send the location and time, "explained the director.
"Oh, ready, sir," said Vania.
Vania's heart was beating fast. Though, the conversation with the director was over. Vania didn't think that she would get the assignment to cover Hayam's activities again. However, she had indeed been hired by Hayam to cover all of Hayam's political activities during the campaign period. Vania could not escape. These are all jobs. She has to be professional.
Vania immediately fell asleep. She arranged the time after getting a schedule for reportation of a social assistance event held by Hayam at an orphanage.
The next day, around 1 pm, Vania arrived at the orphanage. She saw Hayam doing social assistance to orphanage children. The innocent faces of the orphanage children were so happy when they received pocket money from Hayam.
The orphanage children praised Hayam's good nature. In fact, they invited Hayam to eat together.
Vania continued to follow Hayam wherever he went. She took many photos and videos of Hayam with the video camera from the office. Even though Hayam was doing this for a political motive, Vania was still happy to see Hayam interacting with the children. Hayam did look like a grandfather playing with his grandchildren. However, Hayam's kindness had helped the orphans from financial difficulties. Moreover, Hayam announced that he would be a permanent donor at the orphanage so that all the orphans could receive education up to high school.
Vania interviewed Hayam for a video display on a television station. She asked many questions of human value. She also asked Hayam's opinion about the ideal social life.
Hayam answered all of them with short sentences but was straightforward and firm. The man looked professional and good at politics. Vania could see that Hayam had the potential to become a great politician in the future.
"Vania, you came home alone?" asked Hayam when the interview was over.
"Yes," answered Vania shortly. "I am happy to interview your activities today. You are extraordinary." Hayam commented with a small smile. His heart was happy to hear sweet compliments from Vania.
"I have to go home. If it's night, there will be no taxis here," said Vania.
"Oh, you don't have a car?" replied Hayam.
"Yes. My car is in the garage again. The car is old and must be diligently taken to the repair shop, "explained Vania.
"Let me take you home," said Hayam.
"Eh, but—"
"I don't mind. Come on," Hayam grabbed Vania's hand and held her tightly. He pulled Vania into his car.
Vania sat awkwardly in the back passenger seat along with Hayam. Hayam offered Vania the food that was in his car.
"You want to eat drive thru? Soon we will pass a fast food restaurant, "explained Hayam.
"Sir, this is too much trouble for you," said Vania politely. She really felt uncomfortable.
"It does not matter. I'm happy to treat you. If you want, we can stop at one of the cafes or restaurants. We eat while chatting casually, "explained Hayam.
This time Hayam urged Vania. Vania finally melted. Her stomach was growling and she needed to be filled immediately. Vania had an ulcer because of her busy job as a journalist. She always carried lunchboxes in a bag to prevent stomach acid from rising.
Hayam chose a Korean cuisine restaurant. He ordered a lot of meat for Vania.
"Eat. This place to eat is said to be popular among young people," joked Hayam.
He helped Vania cut the meat and grill it. Vania gave a small smile. She could see that Hayam was still trying to be nice to him.
"I like going to places like this," said Vania. "But, the price of food here is expensive. I can't be here all the time. I have to save and allocate funds so I can eat here."
"You sound really miserable," Hayam commented. "If you want to live with me, I can guarantee you can eat at this place three times a day."
Vania's laughter leaked out. She laughed to tears. "Unfortunately I'm not the old Vania anymore," said Vania. "I'm already working and I can't be your mistress, sir."
"You don't have to be my mistress, Vania," Hayam replied. "I'm a widower now. You can be my girlfriend. If you match, we can get married."
Vania was stunned for a moment listening to Hayam's offer. Everything was so tempting. Moreover, Vania's heart was very disappointed in Mama Dio. Vania was eager to accept Hayam's offer. Vania was sure Hayam will spoil her very much. She knew very well what Hayam's personality was like.
"I can't," said Vania. For some reason, she finally chose to refuse Hayam's beautiful offer. "My life is really difficult. I have to work hard every day. I don't get enough sleep and I'm hated by my friends at work. However, I am proud of myself. I can work and I've paid off the house. I have to finish all this with my hard work. I can't depend on you like when I was a teenager, sir." Vania's gaze looked sadly at Hayam. She felt sad that she had to reject Hayam again.
"Vania, I don't mind if you still want to work as a reporter," said Hayam.
He sighed for a moment. Hayam's gaze fixed on Vania's pair of brown eyes that were so beautiful. "Vania, I just want you to be near me in your free time. If you only have time for nights and holidays, I will accept all that. Please think again about my offer, Vania? You can think about it slowly. Don't be in a hurry to refuse. I sincerely want to have a relationship with you."
Vania's pensive. Hayam's sweet words made her heart waver again.
