"Why?" channing asked softly.
It is still hard to believe that the girl who is usually very sweet, is now severing the relationship unilaterally. What is the reason?
However, Laurent instead laughed crisply, as if what he said just now was not something painful.
"Lala!"
"You still have why? Isn't this all obvious?" Laurent raised a question that Channing had a bit of difficulty understanding.
"I still don't understand" Channing said.
Laurent let out a rough breath, then folded his hands on his chest while looking down at Channing.
"You're not Om Kendrick's real son. I don't know what your future will be. So, what's the reason I'm holding on to you?"
Channing jerked. Laurent, who he has known as a good girl who never looked at property, in fact.
"I'm not a hypocrite. In looking for a partner, I also looked at his status. All this time I've known you as an established man, the eldest son of a Demitry. That's why I agree to date you. Now, it has been revealed the facts that I believe. Sorry, I can't be with you anymore. I'm prioritizing my future more" Laurent continued.
Channing clenched tightly, "I'm not Papa's real son, but this matter will soon pass and will not change anything. I'm still Papa's eldest son. There will be no scenes of me getting kicked out of the house and stricken from the family register. So, my future is still bright. There will be no shortage of you living with me."
"That's what you think, Channing, isn't something your dad would have done. Remember yes, there is Axel's real son Om Kendrick and Aunt Athena. Do you think an infidelity child like you can still be compared to him?"
Channing's fist is getting stronger. He was both upset and disappointed, especially when he heard Laurent calling his name. In fact, usually always call it 'beb'.
"So this is your true nature?" channing replied, staring intently.
Laurent nodded, "I'm realistic. I am a girl, need a really strong backrest, both in terms of physical and material. And now, your material is below my minimum standard. So, sorry, I can't continue our relationship."
"You're outrageous, Lala!"
"As much as you want to say what, it's important we break up. I don't want to have a girlfriend like you, no status, pathetic," said Laurent, blatantly condescending.
"Okay, I accept your decision. We ... just got here." Channing got up from her seat. "But one thing you have to remember, Lala, it's you who chose. In the future, never expect to come back again. You beg like anything, I'll never melt" he continued.
"You calm down, I never beg. Because to me, you don't matter anymore" Laurent replied casually.
Channing chose to leave without leaving a word. His heart was disappointed. Laurent is the girl he loves so much, but so much heart to hurt him in unexpected ways.
Ahh, I don't know what dream he had last night, why today he was given such a test. From the fact that he is not Kendrick's biological son, and now faced with a lover who views the material. Complete already. The destruction that enveloped him was absolutely perfect.
Meanwhile, Laurent was glued to the spot for a while. After staring at Channing's body, which had now disappeared from view, Laurent bit his lip. Sad and hurt, that's what he felt.
"You deserve to be happy, Beb. No matter how difficult I am without you later, but as long as you are happy, I am also happy," Laurent's mind was accompanied by a bitter smile.

Time swirls, bringing the morning into the afternoon. The clock shows the number two. Unfortunately, the day seemed bleak. There was no sunlight like this morning. The entire sky that stretched was covered in black clouds. Nature will cry soon.
At the same time, Channing's heart was still gloomy as well. After chatting with Laurent— and even adding to the burden of heart, Channing drove his car not necessarily direction. Circling the streets with no clear purpose.
Intentions want to vent disappointment, but in fact the feeling is still there. The wind from along the road is not able to calm a heart that has been chaotic.
Eventually, Channing decided to go to the funeral. He wanted to visit the last place of his mother, then complained there. It will not get any answers, but the hope is, the burden is slightly reduced if it can vent freely.
Because Channing drove her car at such a high speed, it didn't take long for her to get there. In just a few minutes, a gravestone bearing the name of his mother was already visible in front.
"Mama," Channing muttered after sitting next to the gravestone.
He touched on the inscription 'Sicilia Amanda Raharjo Binti Pandu Raharjo' which is inscribed in the gravestone. Sicily was the name of her birth mother, the woman she had been perfectly flattering.
Channing often imagined a mother figure she had never seen in real life. He described the woman as beautiful, meek, patient, and noble-hearted. But now, the facts seem to contradict what he thought. Yes, where there are angels cheating until it produces children.
"Why did Mom do that? What's the lack of Papa Kendrick, Ma?" channing asked the inanimate object before her, as if the tombstone was a lifeless creature that could answer her question.
So far, Channing does not know the details of the problems that occurred in the past. The reason his mother cheated until there was her. However, Channing has one conclusion that is certainly accurate, namely the sincerity of Kendrick. The man took care of himself and recognized him as a child. That's clear evidence that Kendrick isn't a jerk.
"It hurts here, Ma. This reality is really bitter. If only I could choose. Maybe I'd rather never be born than be born in a gini-like state. I'm sorry if I'm a whiny and not like a real man. But honestly, Ma, this is painful." This time Channing's voice was only held in her heart.
Channing stayed there for a long time, pensive in daydreams about the past. Until he was not aware if nature now began to drip water droplets.
At first it was just a drizzle, but over time it became quite heavy rain. However, Channing had no intention of getting out of place.
Channing thought, even good if it rains hard. Because that way, he could melt his tears without feeling ashamed. Perhaps, tightness in the chest can be slightly reduced if he takes it out.
"Since childhood I have never felt warm embrace you, Ma, but now. On the one hand, I love my mom very much, but on the other hand I am also disappointed. I'm sorry, Ma," Channing said as she escaped tears, which were then faint with rainwater.
But it only happens in seconds. Channing's tears were warm on her cheeks. No more fusing with rain. Wh why? Isn't it still raining?
Channing was astonished and looked up. Then, his pair of eyes found a black umbrella protecting his body.
Seriate...
