Home For My Soul

69|Tak Invited

The seminar went very slow. Time seemed to stop so that being in that room was the longest time I had ever lived in my life. They seemed to have asked hundreds of questions that did not end. I answered everything as best and shortest as possible.

Once everything is done, then I can breathe very easily. Something that initially made my chest tight at that moment also disappeared. The proposal seminar is like this, how will it be when I undergo a thesis hearing?

The proudest thing is that they gave me an A for the seminar. The lecturers congratulated me, as well as my old friends who advanced the seminar together with me. Chika is one of them.

I shook their hands quickly, impatient to be near Amarylis again. He's still waiting at his place. I immediately approached and hugged her tightly. He congratulated me while rubbing my back.

Since people were clapping and tweeting seductively at us, I took her away from that place. Unfortunately, I couldn't get him to spend the whole day with me. Mama held a small thanksgiving at home, but Amaryllis was not invited.

“Ironis, yes. On your happy day, it is precisely the girl of your choice who cannot be present here.” Chika sat by my side as soon as Matt went to pick up her extra snack.

I just kept quiet, not responding to his taunts. After the past few months she had only kept her mouth shut, it seemed like she could no longer bear pretending to be a tormented fiancee. Usually he would not talk to me, but near his mother and put on a sad face.

Matt diligently showed people posts on social media about me and Amarylis. So, I knew they were insulting and praying bad things against us because I cheated on them. Sillier. On the other hand, they support Chika's relentless attitude and do not look for a fuss. If they knew.

“Like it or not, I'll be your wife, Theo. You accept that fact sooner, better. Because your attempt to marry Amarilis will never happen,”.

“Gue and Amarylis are definitely getting married. Lo just look.” I stood up, intending to change seats. But he held my hand.

“Do you never think, what is the impact of the miracle he experienced? Katelia died at a very young age, do you think Amarylis will live a long life?” tusky. He let go of my hand, then stood up and left first.

What does that say? Does he intend to end Amaryllis' life? Ah, naw. He only talked about the age of Amaryllis is not long because of the exchange of souls. It's nonsense. Amaryllis is healthy and she will survive until we become grandparents.

Even though I don't want to be affected by Chika's words, I am still worried about Amaryllis' condition. What he said has a point. I'm sure Amarylis hasn't checked herself out since. I'll calm down after I know he's okay.

My plan to ask him out on a date for my success in the proposal seminar should I postpone. I decided to prevent rather than treat. Though confused, he followed me to fast that night.

“What's up, Theo? Why are you asking me to do a health check of everything?” he asked who still wanted to know.

“Lo will be my wife, naturally, dong, if I want to know you are healthy or sick,” I replied accordingly. We waited for the call after I registered the two of us.

“Yang is right. I'm healthy. Especially if I exercise. If I get sick, it's because you keep stuffing me with unhealthy food.”

“Lo can be silent, can't it? You are not alone, I also check health.”

She pouted, but she obeyed every instruction from the nurse in charge of us. There were a lot of checks that we had to go through, but we were able to eat after they took blood. Seeing her eat so well, I felt a little calm.

Looks like he's healthy. There's nothing I need to worry about. Chika just scares me. But there is no harm in being on guard. Our relationship is close, I can't imagine if I live without Amaryllis anymore.

Oh, geez. His influence over me is this deep?

I can't sleep at night. We can find out the results of the new examination the next day, because there is one section that has just been completed after one day. I didn't want to see the doctor twice, so I decided to listen to the whole result.

“You both are healthy. There's nothing to worry about. Nor do I have any special record to convey to the two of you,” said the doctor, relieving me.

“He likes to feed me a lot. Please, tell him to stop it, Doctor,” Amarilis said, complaining.

The man laughed a little. “You're scared because you're fat easily, huh?” Amaryllis nodded quickly. “Fat is not a problem, but obesity is dangerous. To avoid obesity done Amarylis is good. He's keeping his food. It's best that Theo doesn't ruin his healthy diet.”

“Good, Doctor,” I said, according, do not want to look for problems.

I drove her home after dinner together. As the final semester exams were close, we studied together at the library. The scholarship came on time. He no longer needs to work because his living expenses are also fully borne.

On that day, we were both waiting for news from Matt about his graduation. A message from him came in at lunchtime, so we could make a video call to congratulate him. Just like the time of my success, Mama held a small thanksgiving at night. Amaryllis was not invited.

“Kakak was not invited, yes, we made our own show,” said Matt jahil.

That Sunday we went to the playground. They were both so happy to ride all the rides available. Matt and I have tried everything, including the extreme. So, we're not surprised anymore.

Turns out Amarilis also likes all those rides. She was truly the fearless Katelia. I can't believe I ever saw her scared when I was going to introduce her to my family as my chosen wife-to-be.

Even though I couldn't hold her hand as we walked together, didn't sit by her side when we ate and rested, or didn't talk to her much, I wasn't angry. Today is a day for teachers and students. I was just accompanying.

“College entrance is not difficult, ‘kan?” ask Matt to worry.

“No, if you have well prepared and concentrated,” Amaryllis replied casually.

“Passing grade your majors are not small, so I have to work hard in order to graduate,” he lamented.

“Please talk, Matt. Say frankly if you want to ask Amarylis to be your teacher again,” I said impatiently. Surprised, he doesn't usually talk that way.

“Got patient. I'm the one who wants to persuade, why are you cynical, anyway?” scolding Matt.

I laughed a little at it. Seeing him who had always been confident was suddenly pessimistic was a rare sight. Though he is not stupid, only need to concentrate while studying. Like when he focused on playing games online. Time he can make a lot of money and have some community through the game, but can not achieve through study?

After studying with Amarilis, it turns out that he can also get a ranking in his class. He even graduated SMU with very satisfactory grades. Missing him during first grade could be pursued well in the last two years. That evidence does not seem to be enough to arouse his confidence in academic matters. He was very nervous about facing the college entrance selection.

“Bby. It just so happens that I will often be in the library on this semester break. I want to find a suitable problem for my research next year,” said Amarylis.

“Lo? Why so fast, Brother?” ask Matt surprised. “Do not pass too fast. Let there be friends I know on campus.”

“No way to pay for college?” sindirku.

“Ah, yes too. Graduating longer means paying tuition again.” He scratched his head, then looked at Amarilis curiously. “What is Brother's plan after graduating from college later?”

“Continue to master,” replied Amarylis without hesitation.

They talk about the future, I just listen. I already know everything that Amarylis and Matt want to do someday. So, I didn't interfere, nor did I share my future plans. Because everyone already knows.

On that Wednesday, I accompanied Amarilis who wanted to support Richo. His friend will be following the thesis. I salute him for graduating on time despite taking a semester off. She is a popular model, no matter what she goes to college for.

From that job alone, he could live luxurious to old. That is also if he is wise to use his income and choose a suitable job in the not young anymore. I noticed, there are still brands that want to use adult models for certain products.

“You will definitely be as busy as Big Brother in next semester,” Amarylis said.

“I will always make time with you,” my promise.

“Kakak also said so, but look. He is busy himself with his research.”

“I'm not Richo,”. Things I later regretted. I made too easy a promise without finding out what Richo was going through so he rarely met Amarylis during his thesis.
