39|More Suitable

~Altheo~

I don't like to hear the word break from her. Although we hide our relationship from others, it does not mean that I am not serious with him. Moreover, the more days I like to be around him. Only he wasn't fussy when we were together and let me take the lead.

Even though he fought back, denied, defied everything I said, in the end, he was obedient as well. My time hasn't been fighting with him all day. After all, I like to know what's on his mind when he gives an opinion.

Chika is not a suitable girl to accompany me. He doesn't love me, but he's obsessed. I don't know when he feels something, but I never pay attention to him. We always fought when Katelia was alive.

“So, what do you think about Jessica?” ask Papa when we had breakfast together.

“If it's about their arrival last night, it's normal, Pa,” I answer accordingly.

“I think she's a good girl. I like to see her get close to a girl like Amarilis. Hearing her defend the girl in front of her mother made my heart peaceful. Theo and Jessica are going to be a very compatible couple! Theo who is indifferent will be covered by Jessica's patient and kind nature to everyone,” praise Mama.

I just found out my mom can misjudge people. Usually he is very sensitive to know the nature of the person is sincere or false from the way they talk and gestures. Patience and kindness are not Chika's traits. Obviously he was just pretending to be nice in front of all of us. Her mouth was sweet, but her eyes were staring hard. How did it escape my mother's attention?

“Mama don't fool someone's appearance for an hour or two together. Just look at the cold Theo turned out to be good to Kak Amarilis. When have you ever seen her drive a girl home other than Kak Amarilis?” ask Matt.

“Gue would rather see Theo with Kak Amarilis than Jessica. That woman, I don't know, I can't like her like I instantly fell for my teacher.” He shrugged both his shoulders. “We've been together a long time, so I know Kak Amarilis for who she is. He matches Theo.”

“Theo must marry the girl who will bring profit to our family, Matt. The shareholders will be calm if he marries a woman from a distinguished family as well,” Mama said firmly.

“Duh, Theo. Malang true fate lo,” taunted Matt.

“Why be afraid of matchmaking? Don't you see, we can be happy too. Don't worry too much. Not all marriages without love end badly. On the contrary, not all marriages are based on love ending happily. We determine our own happiness,” said Papa while holding Mama's hand.

I was accompanying Papa to meet his colleague when my phone shook. I opened and read the message that just came in. He had lunch with that model. This girl ... how many times do I have to tell her not to be alone with another man??

Because there was Papa and our acquaintances, I refrained from throwing the phone. Just watch. I'll reply to this defiant attitude later. Not once did he listen to my orders. I only asked one thing of her.

Lunch with his girlfriend is no problem. I just don't like him being alone with a man, no matter he's his brother. They were no longer brothers and sisters once he was in Amaryllis' body. How do I make this girl understand?

“Good morning, Theo!” greet Chika who was waiting for me in the motorcycle parking lot. Another problem I hate.

“Have you prepared the task for today?” He took my hand, but I brushed it off.

Without answering his question, I took a quick step towards the building where the lecture hall was located. There were many students walking in the same direction. Arriving near the destination building, I saw Amarylis walking in front of me.

Chika wrapped her hands around my arms, but this time I did not pull over. Goody. This was a way to avenge the naughty girl. Everyone we passed stopped or turned to see us walking together. I recognize that expression. They think me and Chika are very compatible.

I don't feel the same way. People who like to play are not my taste. In this case, I prefer Katelia who is honest with her opinion and attitude. He never pretended to be nice to anyone.

“Hai, Jessica,” greet Papa kindly see Om Winara coming with her daughter. He had a dinner appointment with the man, but did not know the girl was coming too. Because if Papa finds out, he won't look surprised.

“Hai, Om. Just call me Chika,” she said politely.

“Good. Please sit. I'm glad you want to come with your papa,” said Papa in pleasantries. He doesn't like it every time a business deal is mixed up with a personal issue.

“It is time he knew what his papa was doing to meet all his needs,” said Om Winara. “So, someday she will understand why her husband is often outside the house.”

“Excuse me,” I said standing up, so that he wouldn't keep bothering me.

“What's up, Son?” ask Papa confused. He looked at me and Chika in turn.

“There is a sudden affair, Pa,” I replied accordingly. “Sorry, I can't ignore this important thing.”

“Good. Careful.” Papa nodded, letting me go.

“I say goodbye, Om, Jessica,” I said politely. I didn't care about their response, straight out of the room.

Hearing footsteps following me from behind, I ignored them. It must be Chika who does not understand the meaning of my attitude towards her. He asked me to talk, held my hand to prevent me from leaving, but I kept getting close to my bike.

“Theo, this attitude of yours will only make me further accelerate our relationship inaugurated,” he said, challenging me.

I put on my helmet and started the engine. I deliberately made him roar loudly so that his voice was covered with the sound of the machine. Then I walked away from him to the parking lot. There was no place I wanted to go, so I just sat in my seat looking at the Amarylis residence.

He came home a few minutes later to be driven by our driver in his car. I don't allow anyone to drive my car, our driver is no exception. The girl directly entered the yard as soon as she got out of the vehicle.

Why would I do this? I knew our relationship would have no end but to break up. Chika has already come in for Katelia, so what do I expect from my relationship with Amarylis? She won't be able to marry me. Chika was my parents' choice.

But I smiled satisfied to see the opportunity to show Papa about him coming too. He confronted Amaryllis with his two great bodyguards. I just need a few seconds to prove he's full of falsehoods.

I was just about to end the tape when Amarylis successfully hit the woman. So I kept recording the incident and smiled satisfied to see my girl managed to bend the two people who were clearly not her match.

“Lo? You haven't left?” ask Mama who came down the stairs with me. He glanced at his watch. “The inauguration ceremony starts at ten.”

“Gue won't be late, Ma,” I said casually.

“The problem is, you will ride a car, not a motorcycle. Your father can be angry if you don't arrive on time there,” the protest.

I just waved my hand at him and rushed towards the garage. What use am I to know so many ways rats when traveling must be in a hurry? I arrived a few minutes before the show started, as did the girl.

Amaryllis is serious about her intentions of making her own money. If it wasn't for me seeing the incident in the hospital, I wouldn't believe she was Katelia. That spoiled girl being able to live independently was a miracle. Moreover slowly turning beautiful without undergoing any treatment.

This is the second time I have seen him perform in front of me, playing violin so well that it can wash away the emotions of everyone who hears him. But I don't like it. I hate to see everyone close their eyes enjoying the game or smiling looking at him on stage. Amaryllis is mine.

“This attitude of yours is very exaggerated. Why is your face so ugly just because I'm wearing Kak Jericho's dress?” protested as we were on our way to the boutique.

“Lo can only accept goods from me. I have been very tolerant of receiving clothes from Mama, but not with others,” I said firmly. “Gue has said that often.”

“We haven't dated on Christmas!” admonish, remind.

I paid no heed to her protests and took her to a boutique that I knew provided her with a size shirt. Unfortunately, I regret seeing that good clothes look good on her body. How could an ugly person look so beautiful?

My heart is slowly pounding harder. I clenched my hands, holding myself back from approaching him and kissing him as much as I could. Wait, whoa. What is this feeling? I've never been this way before, either against him or anyone else.

Don't-don't …. Ah, naw. That's not possible. We've only been together for a while, so it's impossible. She's just too pretty. If she wears any other kind of clothes, I won't be pounding anymore. Yes, it must be because of all those nice clothes.
