Karl's steps came to a halt as he was about to open the door of the room. His mind floated on the conversation between him and his mother while in the park. Just after Karl accompanied the mother to do treatment in the salon and also shop for some goods, the mother suddenly took him to go buy snacks on the side of the road. Although actually Karl was reluctant, but still he did because he could not resist the wishes of the mother. Then they sat down in the garden chair with the head of the mother leaning on her shoulder. For those who do not know they will definitely think that Karl and his mother are lovers who are enjoying their date time. And there one conversation made Karl ringing up until now.

Flashbacks

“Karl, do you know why Mom brought you here?” asked Elea while enjoying the snacks in her hands.

“Because I want to spend time with my most handsome son. Right no?” karl answered with confidence.

“Ya, right. That's one of the reasons. But Karl, there's something else I want to tell you. Do you want to hear it?”

Karl frowned, astonished at his mother's sudden attitude in a soft tone. It was like someone holding back a cry. Curious as to what was going on, Karl gently pulled his mother's head to look at him. After that Karl cupped his cheeks, looked at the mother carefully while hinting that he was willing to listen. Honestly, Karl was curious. She felt that her mother was covering something up from her.

“Since childhood I always wanted to have a brother. Mother's life is very lonely, difficult and happy you can only enjoy alone. And when I met your father, I never felt alone again. Your father and all his family always treated Mom so well even though she was just a poor girl with nothing. And after I gave birth to the three of you, I somehow felt sad. Do you know if one of you has been outlined as having a life destiny that is not too good? Here I just want to say whether it's you, your brother or your sister, I'll never leave you. I will always love you and will always love you regardless of any crime you will commit later!” said Elea in accompaniment with a grain of clear liquid dripping on the corner of her cheek. “Karl, if one day your brother or sister does something evil to you, I hope you will forgive them. You're the one who can understand Mom the most, you're also the one who's the most good at taking Dad and Mom's heart. Please understand them, right? Because no matter how bad your brother and sister are, they are your siblings. You're twins, so you're supposed to forgive and protect each other. I can expect this from you ‘kan?”

“Why did Mom suddenly say something like this to me? Don't you worry that that person is me?” karl asked a little to hear the words of his mother. Sounds sincere and suffering, to be able to hit the heart of Karl who had been overcome with revenge and hatred.

“Because you're the only one I trust. Your brother is so cold, sometimes even seem unwilling to respond. Then sister? You know for yourself, don't you think Flow is special? He doesn't know anything, Karl. Yang Flow knows that Father and Mother are his parents, while you and your brother are his brothers. Flow will not understand if Mother asks him to talk like this,” replied Elea before finally sobbing softly. Her heart was as in iris-iris looking at her son's eye bead. And the great desire of Elea if this request could awaken Charles from his anger. Elea was hoping for that.

“Karl, I can hope you for this?” asked Elea expectantly.

“Bu, I'm not as good as I thought. I was worried that I was the one who was born with that bad karma, ” said Karl was worried whether he should reject or agree with the wishes of the mother.

“Honey, didn't you just say that Mom will still love and love like you will later. If it's true that you're the one, then Mother's affection won't be possible to change. No matter how bad you are, you are still Mother's proudest son. So don't worry, huh? I will always be there for you. Okay?”

The Flashback

“Why, Mom? Why did you have to trap me in such a difficult situation? My steps have come so far, Mom. Please don't be a stumbling block for me to have everything and also get rid of Granny Liona. Because of that damn general, my life has become unsettled. Every night I had to receive torment from the souls of the innocent people he had killed. I don't want to just let go of this plan, Mom. I'm not willing!” karl shouted furiously.

Karl's two eyes seemed to flash with anger as his mind continued to churn at the thought of the mother's sad look. Unable to withstand the overflow of his emotions, Karl forcefully punched the wall many times. And his actions caused his fingers to hurt. Blood seemed to drip out of the wound, but the pain that appeared did not make Karl stop his actions. Karl kept screaming and hurting himself. His heart and feelings are hurt by resentment as well as guilt.

“No Karl, no. You can't weaken. Just a little more, Karl. After Amora dies, you just have to get Bern to be kicked out of the Ma family. And then you just need to eliminate Flowrence the same way you did before. And after all those plans have been carried out, you just have to enjoy the results by being the sole heir to the assets owned by the Ma family, especially those in the name of Grandma Liona and Gabrielle's father. Yeah, that's all. You can't lose, Karl. You are not weak!” karl said, beating his own head.

However, it is not denied that actually Karl is very sad considering the cruelty he will do to his two brothers. As a child born twins, Karl and his two younger siblings clearly have a very strong inner bond. But given his suffering, which is always haunted by the spirits of the barren, also with the fact that Flowrence who will inherit all the wealth of his family, and in his adoption Bern became CEO in the company, he said, it made Karl feel so unbearable. He feels neglected. His position as a second child seemed to have no meaning. So hurtful.

“Mother, what should I do now? If I could choose, I wouldn't have a destiny like this either. I love Bern and Flowrence, I love them. But the cruelty of Grandma Liona in the past has made me suffer for so many years. How do I repay this suffering? Please give me a way so that I no longer obey the wishes of the spirits. Help me, Mother. I'm tired of pretending. I want to be myself. Help me!”
