“Of course you. You're David's mother,” Amelia replied.
“I am David's mother, but I am not your mother. So call me madam, miss Arya,” reply her mother David cynical.
“Bu-didn't you know that me and your son .. me and your son ...”
“Pair of lovers?” David's mother smiled cynically. “It was yesterday, not now.”
Amelia did not understand what her mother David said. “What do you mean?”
“I kicked you out of my son's life!”
“Ta-but why?”
“It shouldn't be what you said, but the amount of money you want.”
Amelia woke up. “I don't understand what you mean. I'd better go.”
Actually Amelia little understood the meaning of the words of her mother David. However, he was not sure about that. After all, he did not want his life to be more complicated because of that understanding.
“I want to get some land under the rule of Ni Hao Group. So I'm going to marry David to their only daughter,” her mother David said to hold Amelia away. “So tell me how much money you need to get out of this country.”
“Do you kick me out?”
“Are you deaf or senile? I said it clearly earlier.”
“Don't you already know that I'm going to marry your son? How could you marry your son to another woman?”
“I know that my son is going to marry you, but I never said that I have already approved of you. Besides, the other woman here isn't my son's future wife, but you. Just because you've been living with my son, don't misunderstand and consider yourself the main character. You're not the main character, but a parasite.”
“Did you also say that to David?”
“Of course not. He didn't even tell me anything about you.”
“But how do you know so much about my relationship with David?”
“Then David won't know that you kicked me out.”
“It's better for him not to know that. Because if she knows, it means she's already a bum with you.”
“What do you mean?”
“While he is my son, he is still nothing if he does not become the heir of the Aryan family. And if he does not fulfill his responsibilities as part of the Aryan family, how can he be the heir?”
“What is an inappropriate marriage that can be called responsibility?”
“Of course not. Because David's responsibility is to marry an equal woman. If he did not do that responsibility, then he would lose everything, including his wealth. That's why I offered you money before I left my son's life or you won't get anything. Didn't you come into my son's life for money?”
Thas right. Amelia did come into David's life because of wealth and power. He came because his pride had been hurt by Alex and Levina. However, the words of his mother David greatly insulted him. The words sound more like Amelia was living life with David because of David's wealth. If David loses his fortune, then Amelia will just walk away. If that's what David's mother meant, then that's not true. Amelia had promised David not to leave the man forever.
“It's true. I did come to David because he was rich. But I've been through my whole life with a lack of money. So I wouldn't worry if David would lose his fortune. Humans are not that weak. We will not be destroyed easily. We will keep trying. Including David. When he really lost his fortune, I was sure he would be fine. That is why all this time he has accustomed himself to living in simplicity, not luxury.”
“Hey, young man. Life is not as easy as drama. Live in the drama for only a few months, but real life can be up to seventy years. Nothing can change a person's identity. Although David had gotten used to living away from the luxury of the Aryan family, it did not mean that the blood of the Aryan family stopped flowing in his body. He can live a simple life, but not live a real life. You yourself have experienced life with a lack of money. You must know the weight of it. Are you sure a David Anggara Arya will be able to live like you? After all, he had already lived a luxurious life for more than half of his life. Besides I won't let anyone live a simple life after fighting me.”
Ah, how stupid Amelia is! He didn't even think he was getting there. Amelia had only recently watched a drama. I could not even afford a television. How did Amelia get so high in imagination?
“Are you sure you love David?” ask David's mother again.
“Oh.” Amelia didn't know what to answer. He's not sure about that. Amelia never thought of that again. He only considers his friendship with David all this time only as a responsibility.
“If you really love David, it will be better for you. But if you don't really love her, you'll regret your decision to stay with her. You're not gonna get anything. Your life will be complicated even more. Aren't you tired of living like that?”
Again, David's mother said the truth. Although David's mother humiliates Amelia, Amelia cannot be angry with him. In fact, Amelia is very low when compared to her mother David. The woman was so tall that she could master anything, including the helpless Amelia. Never mind to fight, just master yourself Amelia can not afford. All this time Amelia couldn't even do anything she wanted. He did not even dare to make a wish.
“Good.” Amelia convinced herself of her decision. “I'll be gone from David's life.” That was Amelia's decision. After all he came to David to get a better life, not to ruin his life, plus David's. “But let me come back tonight to say goodbye to David,” said Amelia giving conditions.
