24|Because of Sister

~Amarily~

What do you want this guy? I'm happy to be friends with him, especially when he helps me escape from Chika and her two friends. But being her boyfriend was clearly not in my plans. Why do we have a relationship if it is kept secret and there are no plans to get married?

I was only nineteen. My future is still long and I never thought of getting into a relationship. Too much drama. My classmates used to be a lot of whose studies were threatened by heart.

But I can't fight it anymore. He doesn't demand anything from me just occasionally having lunch together. I don't get it. What does she want from me by doing all this? Does she have any other reason behind this call to date?

“Sit here,” said, giving orders.

“I'm comfortable sitting here,” reject me.

He took my hand, then pulled me up to his request. So obnoxious. I had to stand up, then sit by his side. Since my food is up, then I just need to finish my drink. He brought a plate of steamed dimsum closer to me.

“I'm full, thank you,” reject me.

“Only two pieces. Unfortunately if taken home,” persuaded, half forced.

I sighed softly, then spent both pieces on the marrow. He took out the red banknotes when the waiter came to bring our bills. As soon as the waiter returned, he asked her to tidy up our table.

Brother Jericho came with a confused face. He looked at me and Theo in turn. I just glared for him to be cautious in front of this young man. I don't want my secret to be discovered. He rolled his eyes, as if to say my fear was ridiculous.

“Well, he's here. I can go,” Theo said casually. “See later.”

Me and Brother Jericho just kept quiet watching him go to the door. Brother sat in the chair in front of me, and quietly waited until Theo was far away on his motorcycle. Then he looked up and looked at me with annoyance.

“Don't be mad at me. This is all Brother.”'s fault I stood up and walked towards the door.

“I'm wrong?” protest while following me.

“Kakak from anywhere? We promise twelve o'clock, Brother is not in place.” I looked around me, looking for his motorcycle.

Because of Brother Jericho, all this happened. If only he had come on time, me and Theo might not have met at the gate and the conversation wouldn't have happened. So obnoxious. I don't want to be the boyfriend of that arrogant guy.

“My lecturer is still briefing, I cannot leave the room before he, Ris,” he said, defending himself. “You who forgot me, even eat well here.”

“How can I tell Brother? We forgot to exchange phone numbers and I just memorized Papa and Mama.” numbers I stopped near his motorcycle. “Come, let's go somewhere else. There are a lot of campus spies here. I'm not comfortable.”

“Aren't you in college any minute?” tanyanya's confused.

“So I don't want to eat?” I asked back.

He gave me his helmet, then we got out of the place. While walking around, he entered the parking lot of a cafe. I just ordered water in a bottle, could not eat even the lightest snack.

“What is your relationship with Theo?” ask Brother wonder.

“Academia boy? He's my classmate at SMU,” I replied, half mocking.

Since Theo said our relationship was a secret, I didn't want to tell Big Brother. After all, if he finds out, he'll tell us to break up. He knows best that an unequal relationship will be of no use to fight for.

“You are both sworn enemies, Ris,” he said. Then he was stunned for a moment to realize the meaning of my gaze. “Oh. I forget. You're not Katelia anymore.”

“I told you, don't mention that name again. The wall also has ears, Brother,” scolded me while putting my index finger in front of my lips.

“Then, stop acting like Kat,” reply.

“I am with Brother, what is it to be Amaryllis,” I said, not to lose.

“I am Amarylis, Kak.”

“No. Amaryllis does not like to oppose the speech of her interlocutors. He would also not be able to look into the eyes of the person in front of him. He was always nervous and not confident. You are the opposite of all that. Careful, Ris,” said Big Brother, surprising me.

Did ya? Is that what I'm doing? I was determined to become Amaryllis, but I still carried all of Katelia's habits. Well, difficult. How can I act to be someone I am not? I hate everything that's on this girl.

“Until any academic grades, can't you pretend a little?” said Brother does not believe. He put a hand on his forehead, then shook his head slowly.

“I want to graduate with perfect grades, sister. Otherwise, I would have trouble getting a job in a good company,” I said, defending myself.

“Which good company?” ask Brother to know.

I told him everything, about my college target, the company I would apply for, as well as the final position I was looking for. He just nodded, either because he agreed or just listened. This topic I'd rather discuss with Nolan, but he's not here.

“Your plan is good, but you don't have to go to college anymore. The bachelor is enough. Why take a master's degree abroad? The company will only assess you next from your work experience,” he said, telling.

“I still need to improve my abilities, Brother. Papa himself said so,”.

“Papa said that to Brother Nolan, not you. Women like you will end up being housewives, whether you are married to a commoner or rich. Unfortunately, you spend your time studying. Mending you approach the son of a rich man,” his proposal.

“Sister is crazy, huh? No rich man would ever allow his son to marry a poor man like me,”.

“True. Therefore, you focus on young CEOs only. Do not have a family company that has been led from generation to generation. Many drama. You can't work, you have to give a boy, keep the reputation of the family. Your life will not be free.”

I leaned back and crossed my hands in front of my chest. “Sister doesn't think this way about me and my fiancee.” I squinted my eyes at him.

“Because Katelia's been prepared from childhood to go through all that. Are you thinking of taking a master's degree? No, ‘kan? That's what you plan to do after becoming Amarilis.” He put his hand on the table.

“Take it easy. I have a lot of acquaintances. If the time has come, I will introduce you to rich and loyal men.” His face turned serious. “But first of all, you have to learn acting better to be Amaryllis. At least, during this year or two.”

I sighed softly. “Good. I'll try, but Brother also has to keep a distance with me.”

“For what?” he said casually. “I can act perfectly. Three dwarves Kat alone to the point of being speechless with my flagship sentence.”

Aunt Ruth greeted me kindly at her home. Matt was already waiting in the room, so I went straight to him and started our study. I remembered all of Brother's words and was careful when communicating using English with him.

When we had dinner, I realized a big mistake. I choose the right cutlery whenever dish after dish is served. That's not Amaryllis's custom. I look around me. No one noticed, so I changed my strategy.

I waited for them to pick up their cutlery, just imitate and start eating. So stupid. How could something so big forget? If they realize it, then they will ask and I cannot answer.

“Well, so, dong. If someone takes you home, I can be more calm,” said Aunt Ruth when I did not refuse to be escorted by Theo.

“Iya, Auntie,” I said with my head down. If only he had known, I would have done this.

“Handle,” says Theo.

But before I could do it, he was running his motorcycle. I got a little pushed back because I wasn't ready. I immediately hugged her body tightly. As a result, my heart was pounding so hard, afraid of falling.

Given that Amaryllis would not dare to be angry or oppose anyone, then I refrained from scolding her. Because of Big Brother, I cannot live quietly like before. One and a half years in this body, I don't seem to have learned anything about the owner.

I'm sure the Amaryllis family knew I wasn't the one they knew. Cooking cakes and bread is not good, suddenly want to bother college and collect his own money, dare to express an opinion. The more I think about it, the more I realize I've done a lot of stupidity. I exposed my secrets myself.

Arriving in front of my residence, Theo helped me down. I opened the helmet and intended to return it to him, but he wrapped his hands around my waist. He brought his face so I froze. Is he going to do a scene like that in the movie?
