The Exchangeable Marriage

Love Me, Please

It was a very busy afternoon to the Oak residence. Journalists gathered in their homes more and more because they heard the news that the child conceived Charlotte Madison is the biological child of Andrew Oak.

"No way!" reject Andrew raw. He began to forget the reporters who were going to cover it.

The Madison family approached Mr and Andrew Oak and handed them the brown envelope. "Read this, Sir! You can't lie anymore, your blood is already flowing in my son's womb!" mister Madison said in a fire.

Andrew immediately took the brown envelope, opened it and took out a white piece of paper from it.

His world seemed to be turned upside down as soon as he read the results of the DNA test. He nodded in his chair and shook his head quickly. "It's wrong! This is impossible! It must be manipulation!" andrew said, and he kept repeating it.

Mr. Oak took the DNA test from Andrew's hand and read it. Unexpectedly, he smiled. "The smartest way to remember your back is William Scott" replied Mr. Oak staring intently at Mr. Madison.

The smile of victory on Mr. Madison's face vanished instantly. The reporters again demanded them with questions.

"Scott? William Scott is the son of Timothy Scott, who is involved in corruption and embezzlement?" ask a male reporter.

Mr. Oak laughed loudly. "Haha! Of course, who else! I've made up my mind, Martin. It just so happens that the reporters gathered here can be witnesses, I'll keep asking Andrew until your son gives birth. We'll see if the boy bears any resemblance to Andrew or not. You can manipulate a piece of paper, Martin, but you can't manipulate God's work" Mr Oak was greeted by Amin, from reporters.

Before long, the guards at Mr. Oak's residence dispersed the reporters after Mrs Oak supplied them with lunch boxes as well as some handmade sweet treats.

"You sure it's not your son?" Mr. Oak went back to make sure to Andrew.

Andrew nodded steadily. "I'm sure. Sure enough, pah. Have I ever been in contact with Charlie? Yeah, drunk and that was three months ago. After that, I was in Millo's apartment until today. Do you remember the time I ran away from home? I went there, pah," replied Andrew trying to convince his father and mother.

"But why do DNA tests say it's your son?" ask Mrs Oak. It could be said that the Oak Family was a respectable family that had no criminal record in the least.

Andrew shrugged both of his shoulders in despair. "I don't know either, but I can swear that it's not my son" Andrew said.

"Anyway you have to go back with Charlie until the boy is born. We believe in you, not because you are our son. But we are sure you are telling the truth, Andrew," Madison said, embracing Andrew's shoulder to encourage her.

That night Andrew called Millo. "Something's going on here and I can't go back. Give my regards to Camilla," said Andrew.

"I'll tell you, it looks like your problem is very heavy. I pray that your problems will be resolved soon" Millo replied.

After finishing talking to Andrew, Millo approached Camilla who was watching the news. Things he never did for the five years they lived together.

"What are you looking for?" ask Millo.

"Of course it's news about me" Camilla replied without taking her eyes off the television.

Millo held back his laughter. "Hmmph, how famous are you to wait for yourself on television?" ask Millo.

"Loh, I'm definitely on the television news, right? Because of the events throughout this day," Camilla said confidently. Camilla herself held back a laugh as she answered Millo's question.

"Yes, you are very famous Camilla Madison," said Millo this time his sweet smile plastered on the face of his look.

Just now Camilla was about to turn off the television, there was a press conference broadcast this afternoon held at the Oak residence.

How surprised Milla was, when her father brought the results of Charlie's DNA test and she saw the disappointed face of Andrew.

Millo turned off the television and pulled Camilla's hand out of the house that night. Not to forget he put a hat on Camilla so that it is not easy to recognize.

"Wear your jacket, I'll take you around" Millo said.

But Camilla did not flinch. Millo took Camilla's jacket and put it on the pensive woman's body.

Millo mounted Camilla on his big bike and he tightened Camilla's hand on her waist. "Hold the strong, if you want to cry, let out your tears, Milla" Millo said.

Milla did not answer. He was silent and still pensive. However, he hugged Millo tightly and spread his head against Millo's back.

Millo felt that, then he slowed the speed of the second wheeled vehicle.

***

They arrived at a plateau, from which they could see the glittering lights below them.

"Vaporize, Milla. If you want to scream, scream. No one will hear you" said Millo.

Millo cupped his hands together to form a funnel, then he took a deep breath. "Felix!" millo shouted, after which he grinned widely towards Milla who was looking at him in a daze.

"Felix is my father, hehehe," said Millo with a big smile.

Millo's reply made Milla laugh out loud. "Haha! You call your own father a jerk, a very ungodly you, Millo," said Camilla wiping her tears.

Millo extended his arm. "Please, that's a relief, '" Millo replied.

Camilla stood up, cupped her hands together like Millo's and she yelled, "My life is a jerk!" camilla exclaimed, after which she smiled happily.

"How's it?" ask Millo.

Camilla grinned. "It helps and make me feel better" replied Camilla.

They listened to the roar of vehicles passing under them. They also enjoy the breeze that gently rubs their faces and sometimes they listen to the sounds of the night animals indulging their sense of hearing that night.

"Milla, there's something I want to ask you. Do you still love Andrew?" ask Millo.

Camilla looked at the thick-jacketed man who was currently staring at her sharply. "Not to love just maybe the rest of the flavor. When Andrew proposed to me, I fell in love with him at the time. Then the feeling turned to disappointment as he couldn't tell me apart from Charlie. I mean, if you love someone at least you know that person well, right? How could Andrew not recognize me? Suddenly he came again, and the rest of the feeling colonized me" said Camilla.

"So that's love, right?" millo asked again because he still did not understand Camilla's answer.

"Maybe," Milla replied briefly.

"How about you turn the rest of that flavor into a whole love for me?" ask Millo.

Milla was silent for a moment, she looked into Millo's round eyes. Millo locked Milla's gaze. "I'm serious, I mean will you or can you just love me?" ask Millo again.
