Chapter 8

"So, how's Gilbert and Celeste?" Alia asked with a normal voice.

"Well, they're doing fine." Julia reply to her.

Alia show a curious expression.

"So? Why are you here?" Alia asked again.

"I'm here to persue my dream." Julia said with a smile.

"What kind of dream?" Alia asked again.

"I want to be a university student." Julia said with a warm smile.

Alia was surprised to hear that, and show a disappointed expression.

"That's your dream?!" Alia's voice is rising again.

Julia nod and smile at her, but Alia's expression is really disappointed.

"Julia! Why would you dream to be a university student? You're not 18, you're already 199 years old." Alia said.

"That's why i wanted to be a university student. You know, i grew up without even knowing what friends stand for? So, Auntie. Please, just support me." Julia beg.

Alia sigh and just show a normal expression.

"Fine, do whatever you want. But if you get in trouble, don't ask for my help." Alia clarify to her.

"Yes auntie." Julia nod.

"Do you have any place to stay?" Alia asked.

"No." Julia reply.

Alia sigh and stand up.

"Stay here as long as you want." Alia said.

Alia walk upstairs.

"Really?!" Julia said with a high voice.

Alia turn around and show a cold expression.

"Yeah, stay here." Alia said.

Julia was so happy to hear that, and Alia continue to walk upstairs to sleep.

Julia was overjoyed like she completely can't talk or shout her happiness.

And morning that time.

When Alia get downstairs, she saw that Julia is sleeping in the sofa.

"This kid is really dumb. She didn't even go to her room." Alia feel disappointed.

Marco get downstairs and also saw Julia sleeping in the sofa.

"Alia, who is she?" Marco asked.

"The daughter of my friend. She's Julia." Alia said to Marco.

"She's still young." Marco smiled.

"Yeah, she's already 199 years old." Alia said.

Marco was so shock after hearing that.

"That young looking kid, is older than me." The words that running to Marco's mind.

Alia walk towards Julia and wake her.

"Hey. Hey. Wake up." Alia said with a serious expression.

"Auntie, not now. It's too early in the morning." Julia said with a weak voice.

"Yes, early because we will get your papers for your school." Alia said with a normal voice.

Julia suddenly gain her energy after hearing that and stand up immediately.

"Let's go." Julia said.

Alia pull Julia.

"Go and take a shower first." Alia push her to go to the bathroom.

"Yeah, great idea." Julia said.

"Butler Jim, please take Julia to the bathroom." Alia order Butler Jim.

"This way ma'am." Butler Jim lead the way.

Marco get close to Alia.

"Alia, are you sure she's already old?" Marco asked.

"Why?" Alia also asked.

"Because she act like she's completely a teenager." Marco said.

"She's like that because she didn't enjoy her childhood. And age for us doesn't matter. And besides, she have the rights to be happy." Alia said with a cold expression.

"Yeah, you too." Marco said.

Alia look at Marco.

"Marco, please change your clothes. Yasmin and Estella invited us to come to their house." Alia said with a smirk.

"Why?" Marco was curious.

"Because the family wanted to meet me." Alia smile.

Alia walk away and keep smiling, but Marco is confused again.
