200|Biggest Secrets

These two women were truly balanced opponents. One cannot be denied, the other does not want to lose. Someone has to do something or they'll keep answering until midnight. Amaryllis cannot sleep late.

But Dad and Papa just act calm and relaxed with their cut fruit. No one intends to do anything. If I am the one who broke up, I might be the one who got grabbed. If you're angry, don't know your son anymore. Everything is his enemy.

“Simple only. The news will only open his disgrace. People will not care about their academic performance. They will focus on his zero ethics,” Mama replied fiercely.

“The girl you despised arbitrarily in front of me is Katelia, my biological daughter,” replied Mother.

“What?” ask Mama.

“You asked why I could sit by his side without the slightest anger.” Mother holds Amaryllis' hand. “That's because she's my real daughter. He exchanged bodies with Amaryllis at the time they drowned in the lake. So, what you see is Amaryllis, but her soul is Katelia.”

The room became quiet until everyone's breath could be heard clearly. Only Papa and Mama in this room don't know anything about Katelia. I was not surprised when their faces paled, unable to speak.

Mom stood up from her seat. He looked at Amaryllis and Mommy in turn with increasingly white faces. Then suddenly he closed his eyes and his body collapsed. The three of us got closer, but Papa was faster. He hugged and helped Mom to sit down.

“This, Pa.” Matt gave me a small fragrance bottle he took from Mama's bag.

Papa put the bottle under Mama's nostril to help her sober up. Everyone seemed worried about his situation. Though it is not necessary. Mama was so if the news she heard shook her soul too much.

After all, anyone who heard of anyone exchanging bodies with others would definitely be shaken to the point of losing consciousness. Papa must have been surprised, but Mama's condition helped to divert his shock. What do they think of Amaryllis?

Since Mama was not allowed to talk, we decided to meet again the next day. Although the purpose of today's meeting was not achieved, we were not disappointed. We had expected it wouldn't be easy to unlock this great secret to my parents.

I smiled as Amarylis fell asleep in bed as soon as she lay down. Entering the fifteenth week, his nausea in the morning reduced. Instead, he fell asleep easily. I'm not worried as long as he's still working and his appetite is good.

Our problem must be solved as soon as possible so that nothing disturbs his mind anymore. Even though he didn't say, I know he was thinking about our marriage that wasn't even sanctioned. Moreover, the problem did not stop appearing because of that one fact.

I want my parents to be present in the growth process before she is born. So, when he came to this world, he had already gained the love of everyone close to him. Other problems from the outside are waiting, so I need to strengthen the bond in my family.

“I understand Azarya and Ruth were betrothed by their two grandfathers. Then what makes Ruth so sick day with Amarylis?” ask Dad wonder.

We had breakfast together in the morning. Although we start the day in our own way, we always eat together before starting activities. I'm not used to the crowded atmosphere. But seeing Amarilis happy for the past two days, I was happy.

“Azarya was targeted by many women in his youth. Not much different from what Theo is experiencing today. So, those who are jealous spread a lot of gossip to bring down Ruth.”'s reputation Mother sighed softly.

“I remember her mother was sick and her health continued to decline because it was not strong with people's gossip when Ruth was a child. The poor woman. He was innocent of being born as a child of an ordinary man. Ruth grew up without a mother and her father chose to be a widower.

“The most painful incident of his life that people used to insult him and accuse his mother of suicide. Although it sounds the same, it's two different things.” We all agreed to hear it. “But people don't stop insulting him.

“I heard, Theo's grandmother did not approve of their marriage because the status was not pure. His father was from above, but his mother was not. Azarya convinces him and they get married. I didn't know what happened so Aunt Husada then changed attitude towards Ruth.” Mother shrugged her shoulders.

No one really knows. We are family only and limited to certain people. Our family doesn't know about it. If it leaks out, I don't know what's gonna happen to all of us. Maybe my status as heir will continue to be questioned by people.

“So, I understand why he's heavy Theo stays with Amarylis. People will not stop thinking of my daughter as a poor person who does not deserve to be with her husband.” Mother stroked Amarylis' head. We just quietly listened.

The door of my room was knocked, and then the door opened. She nodded her head and smiled at both of us. “I brought lunch.” He opened the door wider so that our servant who came with him could enter.

“We don't eat in Papa's workspace?” many wonder.

“She accompanied Nathan and Nolan to lunch at our restaurant.” Mama sat down and began to divide the food box she brought to us.

“Mama is fine?” I sat down on the couch and saw how she was doing.

“I feel like I'm dreaming, but, yes, I'm good.” He looked towards Matt. “Prime prayer.”

We ate our food after praying together. Matt kicked my leg, but I ignored him. If he wants to talk, he'll open his mouth. Why did he tell me to look for a topic? I prefer silence.

“Do you guys hate me?” ask Mom suddenly.

We exchanged looks. “No, Ma,” answered me and Matt compact.

Mama smiled sadly. “You know about Katelia. Therefore, you are not surprised to hear Delilah's confession last night.” My mom looked at me in turn.

“Gue won't marry an ordinary woman, Ma. The miracle that Amaryllis experienced I am grateful for. Because she's not the one who has a lot of problems at school. As Amarylis, she was simply lacking in terms of status. But he had no scandal in his past,” I said, explaining.

Mama nodded. “True. I wonder why Delilah and Nathan let their daughter do that. Are they not worried about their reputation being ruined? Then God willed another. Katelia's dead. I didn't know that he—”

Mama looked at me. “It is only fitting that you do not want to let go of Amaryllis no matter what. There was another soul in his body. You've been obsessed with Katelia.”

“Gue isn't obsessed with Katelia,” I argue.

“Oh, yes? Which guy gets to the same school as the girl who doesn't know he's her soul mate? Which man does not stop stalking and following what his soul mate does? Only you.” My mother smiled meaningfully.

“Do you think as a mother, I know nothing about my children? You don't realize you like him, Theo. Because you don't understand your own feelings. I know the characteristics of people who fall in love very deeply know it.”

Whahuh? That's not true. I've been obsessed with Katelia since we were SMU? I studied at the same school as him to find out about him, not because I had a certain feeling. “I'm not obsessed with Katelia,” I argue again.

“Saying it repeatedly will not change reality, dear.” Mama raised both her eyebrows high, teasing me. Matt laughed amusedly. “We forgot for a moment about that. There's something important I need to say to both of you.”
