Bab 8. Don't brother my mommy!

"Yes, that's my name. Why? Do you remember anything, Vania?" Aryan asked hopefully. His eyes looked excited, waiting for a response from Vania.

"How do you know my name?" Vania looked at Aryan warily, his mind was wandering here and there. Various bad thoughts began to come, he was afraid that this Aryan was a stalker who tried to harm him.

It's not that Vania wants to be suspicious, but the incident when she was intercepted by three robed people who recognized herself as a vampire was enough to make Vania put on a wary attitude. Even though Vania hasn't introduced herself yet, how did this Aryan know his name?

Aryan scratched the back of his neck awkwardly, a bit embarrassed because he missed saying Vania's name. He forced a smile, looking at Vania confused. "Em, you... You're a worker in my brother's office."

Aryan must have met Vania when he visited his uncle, Prawira's office. Maybe Vania didn't see it, but Aryan clearly saw. So far, his office and the office currently headed by Tara have worked together for a long time.

"Oh I see." Vanya nodded in understanding.

"Yes, I remember who you are." Vania answered a little less sure after being silent for a while, answering Aryan's question earlier. He bit the inside of his cheek, then slowly took a step back. His eyes looked wary at Aryan, remembering Gia's words that he had to stay away from and keep his distance from the three people he had mentioned.

Aryan's eyes sparkled when he heard Vania say she remembered him. A burst of joy filled his heart. Aryan never thought that Vania would remember him, while according to the information he got after investigating, Vania forgot all the times when she was in the Immortal world.

I don't know if it's luck or not, but what is certain is that Aryan is a little happy that Vania doesn't remember what he used to do to her. However, considering that Vania had also forgotten the good times when he was with her, there was a pinched feeling in her heart. After all, only Vania can understand herself all this time. Finding Vania remembering herself while not remembering Tara, there was a special pleasure in her heart.

"I thought you forgot about me," Aryan said happily.

Vanya smiled awkwardly. Why does everyone seem to say that he has lost his memory? What actually happened? If maybe one or two people say that they have lost their memories, maybe Vania will feel that that person is lying. However, this time there were already people who said he had lost his memory again, what was really going on with all this?

Vanya exhaled slowly. "Yes, I remember you. You must be Mr. Aryan, Mr. Tara's brother.

Aryan's bright smile slowly faded, replaced by a faint smile and an understanding look. Arya nodded. "Yes, you are right. I am that Aryan. By the way, what are you doing here?"

"Buy the ingredients for making pudding, Mr. Aryan. Then, I'll excuse myself." Vania nodded briefly, then walked away from Aryan.

"Wait!" Aryan followed Vania's steps.

Vania gasped when Aryan followed her. He held the plastic tightly in his hands, to be honest a bit afraid to come into contact with the big man beside him. No matter what Gia said that he had to stay away from Aryan, it was very clear that Aryan was a palyboy.

"Mr Aryan, why are you following me?" Vania stopped walking, looked at Aryan with an uncomfortable look.

Every now and then Vania looks at the clock on her cellphone, afraid that she's been gone too long and Jo wakes up in a hurry. Before going to bed, Jo had told him not to leave her alone. If he wakes up and doesn't find himself by his side, he could end up getting scolded by Daddy Jo, who is sometimes cold and sometimes seems to be turning into a man who really loves him.

"You want to make pudding, but you don't offer me to taste it. Even though you know that I like your dizzy the most, don't you want to share?" Aryan said with a slightly pleading tone, showing his puppy eyes.

"When did I know that Pak Aryan likes pudding?" Vania asked surprised.

Aryan closed his eyes because he was released again in speaking. Even though he already knew that Vania still lost her memory, but instead spoke as if Vania had come back to remember who she was.

Aryan scratched the back of his neck, looking at Vania awry. "No, I'm just talking nonsense. I really like pudding, can you let me follow you to taste your pudding?"

Vania wanted to refuse, but she was afraid to offend the person beside her. In the end, Vania was forced to nod, allowing Aryan to come along. Shouldn't this Aryan Vania stay away because of his behavior that likes to change partners, so maybe Vania just needs to thicken her heart so as not to fall in love with him. Yes, like that. Vania said in her heart.

Aryan cheered because Vania had just agreed to his wish. Honestly, it's not because of the problem that he wants to taste the pudding made by Vania, but Aryan misses Vania. He wanted to be close to her, of course before Tara came.

As soon as she arrived at the rented house, Vania was immediately presented with a sight that broke her heart. At the door, Jo was crying while rubbing her eyes. Vania hastily squatted down, carrying Jo's body in her arms.

"I thought Mommy left again," Jo said with a sob.

"No, Jo. I'm just going ahead for a bit, buying ingredients for the pudding blind. Jo want?" Vania said softly as she opened her arms, wiping the tears that rolled down Jo's white cheeks.

"I want, but don't give Aryan uncle!" Jo said while pointing at Aryan who was still dumbfounded behind Vania's body. There was a cynical glint in Jo's eyes when he looked at Aryan, Vania didn't know what that meant. What is clear at this time is that the air between the two is not friendly, or maybe Jo is just looking at Aryan unfriendly.

"You have always disliked uncle, even though uncle liked you very much. Come on, when will we reconcile?" Aryan crouched beside Vania, looking at Jo with amused gleam.

Jo wanted to point at Aryan's face, but his image as a good boy was afraid of being looked down upon by Vania. In the end, Jo just snorted, looking away as a sign that he didn't want to respond to Aryan's words.

Vania stood up, pulled Jo's hand to follow her into the house. He turned to Aryan, nodded as a sign that he was also participating in inviting Aryan to enter his house.

Aryan happily entered, following Vania and Jo from behind. Every now and then Jo would turn around, giving Aryan a death glare. Seeing Jo's hostile behavior, Aryan just laughed softly.

"You two wait in that chair," Vania pointed at the chair. "I'm the only one who makes pudding, once it's cold I'll bring it here."

Jo and Aryan just nodded obediently, then the two sat down side by side. No conversation came out, even Jo was still wearing a cynical face.

Feeling the atmosphere getting more and more uncomfortable, in the end Aryan couldn't stand it anymore to remain silent. "Vania hasn't remembered everything yet, so I suggest that you don't force her to remember immediately. It would be dangerous, especially if the pearl is in Vania's body."

Jo snorted sarcastically. For a little boy, Jo is very rude for daring to squeak in front of adults. "You don't need to remind me, I already know. Besides, isn't it time for uncle to look for Mangasa? Why are you even here? Don't bother my Mommy, just look for the woman who is uncle's target now. You vampire!"

"Vampire?" Vania, who had just arrived, glared in surprise, making the two people who were previously arguing immediately turn their heads in surprise at Vania. "What do you mean Jo? why call Mr. Aryan a vampire?"
