Emelin on the other end of the phone was nervous when she heard Uncle Radit tell her Mama's story.
"This started after your mother decided to get engaged to Thomas Anderson, who was originally married to her father. It was then that the Great Lord finally gave up and chose to let his daughter marry the person she wanted."
Uncle Radit keeps telling stories, and Antony here is listening.
Emelin is feeling a little understood now, so her Mama and Antony's father were originally married off, but were canceled because her mother didn't love her Uncle Thomas?
"But that's just the beginning of the crazy chase story that Olivia Smith did. He loved Alvan William at first sight or something, and was amazed at his kindness at the time, but Alvan already had a Beloved at the time."
Emelin was shocked to hear this fact,
"So.... So my mom really took my dad from her boyfriend?"
Uncle Radit was seen sighing long.
"More or less yes. Your mother who knew that Alvan already had a Beloved, did not give up at that time especially after knowing that Alvan's Beloved was a poor girl, moreover, this poor girl also did not get the blessing of both of Alvan's parents. So your mom took this chance."
"Mama really...."
"Wait, don't jump to conclusions. Indeed, at that time the Great Lord who indulged Olivia obeyed Olivia's request about approaching the Alvan Family, and seduced Alvan's parents to match their Sons and Daughters. Mama Alvan who from the beginning was very dislikeful of Alvan's Lover at that time, loved Olivia very much, she defended Olivia and helped Olivia try to separate them."
"So it's not condoned love?" Ask Emelin again.
Antony just listened quietly.
"Yes, it's an unapproved love from the beginning. But Alvan was very stubborn and rejected this Marriage with your Mother, and still chose her Beloved.... And maybe from here all your grandfather's mistakes start, Emelin."
"What did my grandfather do?"
"Olivia loves Alvan so much, she threatens to kill herself if she does not get Alvan... I don't know why he's crazy about it either.... So your grandfather tried to do something to the Alvan Family Company, and pressured them to get Alvan to marry his daughter...."
"Grandfather did?"
"Yes, your grandfather almost made the Alvan Family Company Bankrupt at that time, until the news made Alvan's father to heart disease and in the hospital. I don't know how either, but it looks like Alvan's father, who still insists that Alvan would save the Company, seems like they had a big argument that caused his heart disease to recur and eventually die. And the thing about this almost bankrupt Company, let alone the death of Alvan's father, made Alvan's mother almost crazy, she became so hateful and turned on Alvan's Beloved, that, and it seems to hurt her or something Olivia helped with. About those things, after his father's death, Alvan finally accepted the Marriage with Olivia and left her Beloved, but it seems she still holds a grudge about what she experienced, and turns on your Mama, who is still alive, even until they were married, as a form of her pity on Olivia, Alvan had not touched her since their marriage..."
"Then what about me?" Emelin asked, if his father did not touch his mother, then how could he exist?
"I don't know for sure either, but it seems that according to your Grandfather's story, Olivia used some tricks until Alvan ended up sleeping with her... And that's the height of Alvan's hatred for your Mama continues."
"So... My mom's really mean?"
Radit let out a long breath, though,
"It can be said that way... But to be honest it might also be the influence of the people around him, he was partitioned with Mother Alvan at that time which affected him, but still your Mama was a lot wrong, indeed, he really became infatuated with Alvan....."
Emelin here does not understand, about why his mother can fall in love to all her?
Why use all means to get it?
"Why did Mama get to that?"
"Your mother was very talented in painting."
"How can you?"
"That was, when one day he had an accident, and the one who saved him back then seemed to be Alvan, but thanks to the accident he could not paint anymore because his hands were damaged he could no longer use to hold a brush and paint... Perhaps at the most devastating moment, he was far in love with his savior.... After all, painting was everything in his life then he lost it.... I also don't know exactly how Olivia fell in love with your father Alvan, just making an estimate...."
"Even so the way Mama's still wrong isn't it?" Ask Emelin again.
"Yes that's right. Your mom just realized it, too, after all these years of marrying your dad.... If his love never reached Alvan, even though he loved her very much... Actually a few days before your Mama died she had time to tell your Grandpa at that time, how she would finally give up on her love, she wanted to divorce Alvan... He also asked your Grandfather to give back the Alvan Family-owned Company as it was and give some material losses to him... Just wanted to see Alvan happy... And at least accept their daughter... But before the plan was told to Alvan, he was already dead... So your Grandfather decided not to say it, because your Grandfather also hated Alvan enough, seeing how Alvan was always cold to his Daughter and you,"
Emelin, who heard the story, finally rebuked.
"Mama... I didn't think he had such a sad story... Even though he had initially become evil like that.... She's...."
Antony tried to calm Emelin down,
"Emelin, it's not just your mama who's wrong, either, I don't know the real story either but look at the reason your father didn't like your Mama for so many years because he's still in a secret relationship somehow with his Ex-Love, Your father was also obviously a crafty man,"
"You're right...."
"Yes, what Antony said was absolutely right. I didn't think that Alvan could be such a jerk and such a cheating bastard, he dared to come into contact with another woman after marrying your Mama... Hah especially with the type of woman like Cornelia that..."
"On that Cornelia... Does Uncle know anything about him?"
"Didn't your grandfather not like that woman at first? But you persuaded him to marry her, you were so stubborn back then, that it made your grandfather dizzy. From the beginning we've been investigating Cornelia, how she got pregnant out of wedlock with no man, but I don't think it was your father's son. However, Cornelia did have a bad reputation, before becoming your Father's Beloved in the past, Cornelia had a history that she liked to approach Rich men, Kaya, you can guess from this direction what kind of woman Cornelia is...."
"So this Cornelia wasn't a good woman from the start?" Ask Emelin.
"Yes, she wasn't a good woman from the start. I don't know what made your father fooled, and can't tell who really loved him sincerely... Huh....."
"Yes, my father was really blind enough to not see the love of my mother."
"Love can be so complicated, Emelin. I'm also very sorry how your Mama and Thomas Anderson's engagement was canceled, I also clearly know how Thomas Anderson liked your Mama, though your mama might have a different ending if she made a different choice, she would definitely be happier with a man as good as Thomas Anderson was."
Antony started to sow,
"Thomas Anderson, he's not as good as you think."
Uncle Radit looked at Antony in surprise,
"You mean?"
"It's nothing."
Emelin was silent to Antony's comments about his father.
Yeah, I don't know what kind of story happened between Antony's father and Antony's mother, and Emelin doesn't think that's a good thing.
