Behind All Changes

Chapter 5

Lidya's father snorted annoyed at the mere speech of his child.

"Hanna, bring me a will from Leny" said Lidya's father.

"Well," replied Stepmom Lidya.

Lidya's stepmother went to pick up the inheritance letter. Then not for long, came stepmother Lidya.

"Read, son" Lidya's stepmother said, offering the letter.

Lidya almost spewed out her stomach, when the woman in front of her pretended to be sweet and said son.

Lidya's hand reached out to take the letter.

Read the details about the letter.

All earnings from the company that was supposed to belong to Leny Herdyan will be handed over to Lidya Lanita. I deserve the money in my account to swell.

Lidya uttered one of the points in the letter in her heart.

Lidya Lanita should also marry my best friend's son, Mrs Dirga and Mr. Dirga.

Lidya stared at the writing.

Moments later Lidya got up from her seat.

"I'm sorry, I have to leave for a moment" Lidya said as she walked to her room.

Arriving at the room, Lidya went straight to the balcony.

Lidya looked back at the writing that was very very outside of Lidya's mind.

"Why, Mom? Why did you write a will that was so hard for me to fulfill. I know I only love my Kelvin. But why did Mom tell me to marry someone I don't even know" Lidya said as she stared at the stars in the sky.

The old man said that a man who has not been will become a star. That's why Lidya said while looking at the star, as if the star was her mother.

"Why do you want to marry me to that guy named Kelvin. Do you think that two people who have one name can become one man? No, Madam. I love Kelvin, but it's not Kelvin downstairs" said Lidya.

Yes, the one who will be betrothed to Lidya is her senior Kelvin on campus.

"Although Kelvin is gone now, he will always be in my heart" said Lidya.

Lidya pondered while sitting on the cold balcony floor. He tried to rethink what caused his mother's death.

Lidya last saw her mother at Kelvin's house. At that time his mother will leave for a while. And until Mother Leny's funeral procession doesn't come. Even what came to Lidya was the news of his mother's death.

"Mom, I know. I know, surely this will is not your wish. I'm sure of it. Even if it was Mom who wrote it, I must have had a reason" said Lidya.

Lidya thought hard whether she would do her mother's will or even ignore the will.

After thinking hard enough, Lidya was finally able to think of something.

Lidya back down, precisely in the guest room.

"Alright, I accept this marriage. But with two conditions," said Lidya.

"Why use terms, son? Are you doing this insincerely?" Ask Lidya's Dad.

"If you don't agree, you don't need to do this marriage" said Lidya.

"I agree" said Kelvin.

"You sure?" Ask Lidya.

Kelvin nodded for sure.

"The first condition is that this marriage will take place after I finish my school" Lidya said.

"But son, it's too long. The sooner the better," said Lidya's father.

"This letter is not written when I should marry this man and it is my right to decide when I will marry" Lidya said.

"We agree" said Mr. Dirga.

"I agree" said Kelvin.

"All right, we had a deal. This marriage will take place after our daughter graduates" Lidya's father said.

A deal? What marriage is a covenant?

Lidya said in her heart. For Lidya marriage is something sacred and happens once in a lifetime.

"Okay sir, we go home first" said Mr. Dirga.

Lidya's father and stepmother escorted Mr and Mrs Dirga out. Kelvin was allowed to go to the toilet for a while.

I hope this is the best decision

Lidya muttered inwardly.

Lidya walks into the kitchen to pick up the teapot she had left earlier, due to the pull of her stepmother.

Lidya picked up the teapot and prepared to get out of the kitchen.

"Lidya" a whisper in Lidya's ear made Lidya's heart beat fast and the teapot in her hand almost fell.

Soon Lidya turned her back to see someone familiar to her, Kelvin.

"What are you here for?" Ask Lidya who is always to the point.

"Gosh," instead of answering the man in front of him said strangely.

"Couldn't talk to me for pleasantries first and why do you always call you me. That's too formal. Call me, you or you. What's the trouble anyway?" Kelvin asked.

"I'm sorry but you and I aren't that close" Lidya said.

"So we should be as close as any. I'm your fiancee" said Kelvin.

"Ralat your words, I'm still not your fiancee" said Lidya.

"Why do you dispute my words. Soon you will be my fiancee and my wife" Kelvin grunted.

"We don't know whether in the future we will get married or even separate" said Lidya.

"I'll make sure you fall in love with me. And in a second you won't want to get away from my side" Kelvin said with great confidence.

"Come," replied Lidya who passed away with a teapot in her hand.

Kelvin stared at Lidya's back with a pus. Seeing Lidya's attitude that is like building a wall between himself and the outside world makes Kelvin look at Lidya's departure sad.

"I hope I can make you fall in love with me" Kelvin said sadly.

After Kelvin could no longer stare at Lidya's figure, Kelvin moved from the kitchen towards the terrace.

Arriving after on the terrace, Kelvin said goodbye to Lidya's parents to go home.

After that Kelvin got into his parents' car and went back to his family home.

In the car.

"Kelvin," call Kelvin's mother.

"Yes" Mom said Kelvin.

"Mommy saw the girl's attitude was too cold and seemed indifferent. Even he seems to have no respect for his parents" said Mommy Kelvin.

"The mother was Lidya's stepmother, Mom. Maybe Lidya does not like and has not received his stepmother," Kelvin said as he looked out the window.

"But it's still the woman's mother" said Mommy Kelvin, who still does not accept Lidya's disrespect to her parents.

"Try me when Daddy gets married again. Does Mommy want Kelvin to take Daddy's new wife?" Ask Kelvin.

"Ih, amit amit" said Mommy.

"You never fuck me, Dad. You too, don't want to think of the woman your Daddy brought as your mother. Your mother is only one, Mommy," said Mommy Kelvin.
