67|Because Comfortable

“I have never felt such shame in my entire life,” Mama said sadly. “You invited us to dinner just to introduce the girl to us?”

Of course Mama will use her breakfast time with us to discuss it. I'm ready to tell you everything that's in my head. Although I was hoping we'd talk about it tonight, because I wanted to focus on working in Papa's office.

“If Mama doesn't invite the Winara Family, it won't happen,” I said, defending myself.

We lost our privacy ever since the family was always present at our family events. Papa who usually has business with his colleagues almost every night came home to eat with the family at our house. Or wherever you choose.

The meal that I planned should be attended by them? I just invited Papa, Mama, and Matt personally, not discussing it together like now, Mama instead invited others. He knows I don't like that family.

“We used to eat with them. What's wrong with me taking them along? Chika will be your wife, Theo,” mama's cheapskate, don't want to lose.

“She's a future wife of choice Papa and Mama, I'm not going to marry her. I seriously. I'm just getting married to Amaryllis. She is a good girl and I don't care about her status,”.

“Nak,” says Papa, divorce. He nodded slowly to Mama who still wanted to advise me. “Do you do this so that we sever your relationship with Chika?”

“No, Pa,” I replied without hesitation. “Gue dear Amarylis. Papa already knew I had never been interested in women before. But Amaryllis was different. I'm comfortable with him, Pa.”

“Comfortable is not enough to have a wedding, son. Why do we care so much about status, because your lifestyle is different. Amaryllis will find it difficult to enter your world. That one thing alone will make you fight every day,” said Papa, trying to explain.

Without it we fight every day. They won't understand, so I shut up. Let them tell you what. I made a choice, so I won't change my mind. What I said was the truth. She is the only woman who makes me comfortable.

Bringing her to Papa and Mama's wedding anniversary is a declaration I've prepared. Unlike the surprise they gave, I didn't need journalists to publicize our relationship. All the guests who took our photos must have uploaded them to social media and announced them to me for free.

My surprise for them went well, but I didn't like to see Nolan talk alone with Amarylis when I was with my family. From the girl's movements, I knew she was talking honestly about who she was. Because Nolan was more stunned himself.

I've never liked that man since I learned of his evil plans with his father. He's not someone I can trust. Moreover, I don't know what purpose they are still working well together when we won't have any relationship going forward.

“Lo jealous?” Matt Goda. He looked towards Amarilis and Nolan.

“Unfortunately you are not jealous if there are other men near your boyfriend?” my challenge.

“She won't be approachable by other men, so I won't be jealous,”. “Any. What's Nolan getting close to Amarilis? Do they know each other?”

I didn't answer that question. There's no need for me to do it either, because Mama distracts her by giving her a bite of cake. After the show ended, we were able to sit down again. Nolan had already returned to his seat so I didn't have to say hello.

After dropping off Amarylis, I found Mama waiting for me in the front room. He glanced at the seat that was nearby, signaling for me to sit there, but I chose to stand up. He took a long breath. The topic he was going to talk about was very heavy.

“What do you want?” He looked at me seriously.

“Restui my relationship with Amarylis,” I replied, understanding the direction of the question.

He took a deep breath, calming himself. “I will never condone your relationship with him,” Mama said firmly.

“Then why do you ask if you don't want to hear?” many wonder.

Mama's attitude of rejection became clearer when she ignored Amarylis' presence at a dinner to celebrate her birthday. At least, Aunt Winara doesn't insult my girlfriend anymore, so I don't care how they behave towards my future wife.

The family comes to dinner at home almost every night to make me not feel at home. So, I'd rather be in the library quibbling to prepare my proposal materials. I had more time with Amarilis by taking her home after teaching Matt.

My sister decided to spend her own money to pay for Amarylis services. Goody. That's more useful than him spending his money on buying out of nothing for the sake of his online game. He was also in charge of their dinner. So, Amaryllis still felt like she was working as usual.

When that fear repeated, I no longer had any trouble finding him. I'll just send a message to Daisy, then she'll tell me where the girl is. I originally thought he'd be in a park, turned out to the mall.

The person he met was beyond my expectations. Why did Mama ask her to meet so early? I purposely interrupted Amarylis by calling and texting, but she ignored me. The meeting didn't last long, he came out.

But before I could meet him, he rushed to the stop and boarded the newly arrived bus. Where is he going with such a happy face and in such a hurry? Looking at his destination, I frowned. After parking the car, I went to the cafe.

Nolans. I really don't like him, so I can't believe he has any sincere intentions towards Amarylis. Why do stupid women always wrongly trust people? It was enough that his three fake friends and Richo knew his true identity. Don't add to Nolan.

“She is my sister.”

Always the same reason. Though viewed from any side, they were no longer brothers and sisters. As far as I know, Katelya wasn't a naive girl. Was she affected by Amaryllis's true nature because it had been inside her body for a long time? Maybe that's what happened.

Since I know lately that he's been figuring out who's been helping him, then it's time for him to find out. I decided to confess, even letting her watch a tape of every evil thing Chika did.

All that evidence I'll use when the time comes.

“Kak Amarylis has arrived in his index?” ask Matt. He came to my room when I cleaned up and changed clothes.

“Iya.” I closed the door to my dress room.

“Thank you for today.” He sat on one of the sofas.

“Sama-sama.” I chose to sit on the edge of the bed. Feeling his gaze at me, I looked up. “What's up?”

“Lo sure want to marry him?” he asked, suddenly serious.

“Iya.”

“Although Papa and Mama will not approve of your relationship?” Eyes rounded. I nodded my head. “What makes you so sure?”

I actually don't have a good enough reason other than I don't like being away from him. I also don't like it whenever I imagine he's not with me or close to other men. I know his name is possessive, but he is not mine yet.

But I was also comfortable with him, no matter how often we fought. Maybe because he didn't demand much and let me actively approach him. She's also not obsessed with me or chasing me like other girls like me.

Everything feels ordinary, at the same time special. His attitude that likes to argue, but also wants to obey me is very adorable. I don't know, I can feel him loving me, even though his lips don't want to say it yet. Lips that make me addicted to feeling it.

“Gue love him. As long as we're far away, I can't live quietly. We're together again, then I can sleep soundly,” I.

He opened his mouth. “Ma-mean lo, you guys have been together a long time??”

“Iya. Since February last year. I asked for backstreet.” He already knows our relationship, then there is no point in keeping a secret about when our closeness begins.

“Crazy lo. So, all this time my guess was right. Lo like my teacher.” He flicked his fingers. “Gue agrees with her, but the wedding is not just a pity, Theo.”

Does he think what I did with Amarylis was just making out every time we met? We spent more time eating and studying together. To save him, I had to steal a chance. He is still shy about our physical closeness. I was ready to move on to a further stage.

Of course I know the limits. Papa and Mama educated us hard to value women and not take advantage of any kind. Therefore, I keep myself from being in a lonely place alone with him. I want to get married well.

“Gue knows. Just chill. All Papa's advice I won't forget.”

“No will you forget?” He's laughing a little. “The main requirement of a successful marriage is that you cannot fulfill. Are you sure you and Kak Amarylis can survive later?”
