Last night, when Larisa fell asleep in bed tired of serving Demetrio, she woke up to call her mother.
"Hello, Ma. Congratulations (forwarding) morning."
"It's good you know it's still early in the morning at this place" Mama replied in a tone of restraining her overwhelming annoyance. "From all the time you could tell Mama, you're doing it now? And what's with your sister exactly? She said she wanted to live somewhere else and didn't want to tell Mama where it was!"
"Tell him that I'll make his feet his hands if he dares to run away." Demetrio wouldn't let Leadro off that easily, but now he had other business. "From that, can Mama do anything for me?"
"Demetrio," call Mama for a moment. "You know Mama gets upset every time Mama's sleep is interrupted, right?"
"I know." Demetrio answered plainly.
"good. Then who's that brash kid that's interrupting Mama's sleep?"
"Leadro, of course. A Demetrio Lawrence can't possibly make his Beloved Mama upset." Demetrio chuckled amusedly. "If you're done, can Mama help me?"
Across there, Demetrio could imagine what kind of expression Mama had. He was staring at his cell phone while thinking where he picked up a child like Demetrio.
"Alright," said Mama resigned. "Say what's up."
"I want to get married again."
"DEMETRIO LAWRENCE!" the woman shouted for a moment. "YOU THINK THE WORLD WAS CREATED FOR YOU?"
"Yes, Mama." Demetrio nodded for sure. "I was born of you and the world was created for me thanks to you. Then, can we continue?"
"Demetrio, stop joking and go back to sleep!"
"There's a note on the list of potential wives in my study, Ma. If you're done grumbling, please go in there and call anyone you think you deserve. As long as she's beautiful and her body is bigger than Larisa's, I accept."
"You're going crazy, huh?!"
"Because it sounds so stupid to be serious, Demetrio!" mom's screams are frustrating. "You think this is a joke?! Our family reputation will be questioned if you marry another woman less than a week after you marry Larisa!"
"What is in question? Is it about me being so powerful that I marry another woman for my hamili?"
"MAMA WILL MAKE YOUR HEAD AS A LEG IF IT COMES BACK LATER!" mama shouted again, seemingly starting to feel crazy.
Demetrio just chuckled, thinking it was a joke. "Then what if Larisa betrays you?"
Mom's screams turned into a rush of serious questions. "Whatis that? Whatchu mean? Is she pregnant from someone else? Is that why he asked for the wedding four days after you proposed to him? Or does he have a disease and he infects you?"
"Well, Larisa slept with another man so I'm very sad. Mama knows, I only touched it once because I was so disappointed," Demetrio said as if he was very frustrated.
"My son." Mom immediately called it with a loud tone. "Not know yourself! Mama will file a protest directly with her family!"
"That would make me sound like a spoiled prince who cares too much about the little things, Ma."
"That's no small thing! We obviously bought the woman's gender from her family too!"
"Well, but won't our family's reputation be damaged?" Demetrio smiled slightly. "Don't I tell you? I have to get married. That would make Larisa look very, very silly and pathetic. It would also embarrass his family."
Mom agreed and this is what happened.
Demetrio smiled at his new wife-to-be who looked very beautiful and could very, very much destroy the reputation of a woman who had become a wife.
I will not marry her if you kneel, Demetrio whispered in her heart as she looked at Larisa.
So bow to me or enjoy your new humiliation, my dear wife.
