Exchanging Bride

The Wiji Sasongko Family Home

Mike asks what Novia is lacking compared to Adelia. Damien could not possibly tell all the shortcomings of Novia in front of Mike who was sad because Adelia killed her mother. Damien can only tell how his relationship with Adelia used to be good and fun.

"Adelia understood very well what papa needed and also what papa wanted. He can do whatever papa wants. That's why my dad was always happy to be with him. If Adelia hadn't betrayed her by having a relationship with a lot of other men outside, papa would probably still be with her, Mike."

"So you've known for a long time that you didn't kill yourself, but you killed her?"

"Papa has a suspicion that your mother didn't kill herself. Papa read your mom's autopsy. Papa is sure you can imagine what it is." Damien calmly answered Mike's question

"Mama has been deprived of nutrition for the past three months, but papa thinks she's depressed because she's separated from me and papa. There were signs of rape on the day you died, but I assume you did it voluntarily with another man before killing yourself. Is that what you think about when you read your autopsy?" Mike's getting emotional. But still trying to hold it.

"More or less like that." Damien answered briefly.

"Papa did not at all expect that mama was killed or tortured by that woman?"

"So, I was sure your mom was guilty. Papa still thinks it was your mom who pushed Adelia to the point of losing our baby and not being able to have any more children forever."

This slanderous sentence against his mother was the most painful one for Mike. Moreover, Mike used to also witness the incident but considered lying.

"So if you knew that you were killed by that woman, you would still be protecting your young wife?"

"Yes." Yeah." Damien answered briefly.

This one word left Mike unable to contain his emotions. Mike pulled Damien's front shirt. Mike looked at him with anger.

"That's how much papa's love for that woman is! Papa loves the baby more than the dead woman does than the living child!" Mike was hysterical. And now I can no longer hold back the crying.

"Papa is guilty of you and your mother. Papa can only apologize to you." Damien looked down with the condition of the front shirt that was still in Mike's grasp.

"Sorry papa is too late. It's been 25 years, Dad! A quarter of a century has gone and papa just apologized now! Papa felt that you deserved to kill yourself for killing the baby girl, right!It's you who always cry when staring at a photo of mama?Papa's not crying for mom, but your baby's dead, is he?Answer pa!" Mike shakes Damien's body.

"Papa's crying about your mama, Mike. If it wasn't for the bloody incident on grandpa's birthday, your mama might still be papa's wife. He will also be able to live with you and papa until now."

"So all this time papa still blames mama for pushing the woman to miscarriage! Papa is heartless!"

"Your mom didn't just hurt Adelia once, Mike. Your mother had money and power. While Adelia is weak and only has love from papa. He did all sorts of terror to get Adelia to leave papa. Also for Adelia to lose her child." There was a look of disbelief on Mike's face hearing this.

"Everything starts from the terror created by your mama that makes papa heartless like your mama!" Damien Exciting.

"Papa believe the woman's words about the terror that mama created?"

"Papa believed in Adelia. But after finding out who Adelia is now, you don't know anymore, Mike." Damien.

Mike yelled hysterically. Damien simply stayed beside the child and said nothing more. Damien accompanies Mike in his grief and pain in silence. Hope Mike doesn't feel alone through this pain.

"So this is why you told me to mentally flirt when you heard Mike's conversation with his papa?" Kiara finally commented after a long time sitting quietly listening to Mike's conversation.

"Hmm" replied Aldi briefly.

"You knew Damien's mind from the beginning?"

"Of course."

"Tell me more, Al." Kiara was acting a little spoiled. Making Aldi surprised, it turns out this woman can do spoiled like this.

"When I met Damien for the first time, the weapon I was carrying was the betrayal of Aunt Adelia. After finding out that his wife was betraying him, he seemed to have lost his reason for living. Om Damien loves Aunt Adelia. His love for Aunt Adelia is greater than his love for Mike, his own son." Aldi told me by looking at Kiara. Trying to catch his wife's surprised expression.

"But didn't Damien and Aunt Novia get married for love? How could Damien love Aunt Adelia more?"

"You forgot that Aunt Novia has been found guilty of Aunt Adelia and her dead baby? From 25 years ago to the present, he loved his young wife. His love for his first wife has been eroded and replaced since 25 years ago. Om Damien loved his young wife much longer than his first wife. He's used to loving Aunt Adelia." Aldi patiently explained to Kiara.

"I wonder why so many men love Aunt Adelia so deeply. Would a man rather look at a woman's beauty than her heart?"

"I love you for both."

Kiara was surprised to hear the word love from Aldi. He said it so naturally as if he was used to saying that. Though Kiara immediately sport heart hear it.

"Basic likes to seduce."

"Wife's own wife may. It's even highly recommended."

"Who's philosophy is that?"

"That philosophy is me!" Aldi laughing.

Kiara was happy to see Aldi's laughter.
