"So this is your great-grandmother's house, Gonza?" ask Lara.
"Yes, Miss," replied Gonza nodding.
Lara smiled faintly and circulated her gaze at the old-fashioned house that still looked comfortable as it was well-maintained.
"Thank you, Gonza" said Lara.
Gonza is very loyal to Lara. Gonza is a former military special forces member whose half face was slightly damaged by a bomb.
Gonza thinks of Lara as her own sister. Gonza has a younger sister-in-law, Lara, who died after being hit by a car while Gonza was on duty in a conflict-ridden country.
From then on he decided to return to his homeland until finally meeting with Mr. Silas who gave him a job to look after Lara - a teenage girl with a cold and complicated attitude.
Gonza is still lucky to still have a family and knows her origins are different from Lara who since childhood was orphaned and always oppressed.
That was why he wanted to keep Lara despite having to oppose master Silas. Lara is alone and has no one.
At first she hoped that Phoenix would become Lara's protector, but it turned out that Phoenix still had not fully supported Lara.
Lara decides to stay temporarily at Gonza's grandmother's house until Phoenix agrees to her terms and her wedding schedule is set.
Gonza and Lara had already arranged everything very neatly. Gonza is confident that no one will be able to trace Lara's whereabouts at this time. Gonza will return to New Jersey.
Gonza had hired a servant to accompany Lara at her great-grandmother's house.
"Rest, Miss. I'm going straight back to New Jersey" Gonza said.
"Yes, be careful. Uncle and Robert's family will definitely be looking for me and interrogating you" Lara said.
"Yes, Miss. I go first," replied Gonza bowing respectfully and exiting the ancient house.
The house is located in a farm in a hilly area that is very far from residential residents.
Gonza has prepared all the needs of Lara for 1 week there.
"Hello, Miss. My name is Lorris and this is my daughter Mollis. We will accompany you during your vacation here" said Lorris - a woman in her mid-50s.
"Miss is so pretty" said Mollis - a curly red-billed girl with a lot of freckles on her nose.
"thank you. You're also very pretty. How old are you?" ask Lara.
"My age is 13" replied Mollis.
"You're not in school?" ask Lara.
"I'm at school but I'm off for a week to join my mom at work" Mollis replied.
Lara smiled.
"Miss, rest. Mr. Gonza told you to take a lot of rest because you're pregnant" Lorris said.
"Yes, I'll go to the room first" Lara replied.
"If you go to dinner, I'll call you, miss," said Lorris.
"Thank you kaish, Auntie," said Lara and turned to her room just a few steps away from the living room.

POSTER ...
"How did you lose Lara???!!" angry Silas at Gonza. Silas slapped Gonza's cheek very hard.
"Sorry, Sir. Miss Lara just told me she was going to buy bread across the apartment. I'm off guard, sorry," Gonza lowered her head.
Soon a message entered Silas' phone and Silas cursed because it was from Lara.
Lara just said she'd be gone for a while. And it will come back if Silas and Phoenix cancel their partnership with Davina.
