That Other Woman, My Mother
THE WLIM 19
Leo could not dwell when Nayra agreed to marry him, on the morning of the next day. Even when she had to take care of some things for the purposes of getting married within a week, Nayra agreed. Isn't he still hurt by his ex-girlfriend?
"Nay ...." Leo had been wearing work clothes when he met Nayra in the room they both occupied last night. There was a hint of awkwardness that Leo was groggy as he stared at Nayra who was sitting on the edge of the bed. "Don't we have to talk now?"
The woman smiled, overcoming all the restless feelings mixed with shame, but the war had already begun. Although Nayra doubted the medicine was aimed at her. "I'm sorry to startle you, Leo .. but I do need help dealing with the parasites that continue to eat away at my life."
"Your love?!" guess Leo is Nayra.
"Not only that, but also my stepmother who has made me lose so much." Nayra stand. "The woman who was with my lover that night was my stepmother, who had made me squash all this time, but without it I had Papa's legacy in large numbers. He's profiting too much from me, so please help me, yes!"
Leo certainly doesn't believe it, but Nayra can't possibly lie, right? If Nayra was willing to profit from it, shouldn't it have been done long ago? They know and know each other for sure.
"I'll pay compensation for your losses later. Whatever origin you let me stay here." Nayra slightly begged with a clear face. "I want to avenge my stepmother who has the heart to lie to me and spend my inheritance money. Mama Ana is too mean to me."
Leo frowned. "It's not about compensation. I thought, that marriage was for one time, Nay. Especially just for revenge, I don't want the rich."
"Overnight's medicine was Mama Ana ... Didn't you see it? The last night that poured wine was Mama Ana, Leo. He's in this house, aren't you aware of that? She does wear thick makeup with a perfect disguise until you don't recognize her." Nayra's convinced.
Leo bought in disbelief. "If so, I'll have to throw him out! I've never memorized Papa's servants. They change people every day."
"No, Leo! I'll take care of him, 'cause I know what purpose he's working for here." Nayra then approached Leo. "He wants to ruin my life by taking away my girlfriends, and if I fail to get married, then he's in charge of Papa's wealth, even my share! He would take little by little my money, with reason for my living expenses. It happened and I just found out. Mama Ana is too good at covering up her crimes that everyone believes, including me."
Leo gaped, speechless, hearing that. "So much, yeah ... Seriously you, Nay?!"
"What am I lying to, right?" Nayra opened both her arms. "There's no point in me lying to you. Clearly, he wants you or Papa you to fall into his hands before me. He probably still thinks that the lawyer hasn't revealed his biggest secret to me."
"okay ...." Leo sighed, "but I don't want a divorce even if you don't have any feelings for me. I'm not getting married to get a divorce and I don't want anything to be called a deal or anything that seems to make this marriage playful."
Nayra was startled for a split second, but she soon gained control. He was sure that even if Leo was not a man who could love him, he would be a good man. It doesn't matter if you have to side by side with men as partners rather than having to worship love that ultimately only hurts. Nayra could soon accept.
Nayra nodded in understanding. "Ok, I'll take care of some things for the wedding preparations. A week is more than enough if it's just a simple event."
He smiled "and I'll stay here from today. No problem, right?"
Leo nodded. He already knows Papa's mode, so yeah, he can do anything. This is indeed part of his mature plan supported entirely by misunderstandings. Perhaps in a disaster there is a hidden wisdom of goodness.
In the kitchen, Ana is restless when assigned to prepare the needs for dinner later. Lips grumbling. He cut the meat very hard.
"Don't let it all be true, and Nayra will get bigger and bigger!"
"Unfortunately, it's all true, Mama Ana!" Nayra is behind Ana. "I'm Leo's future wife, the son of your employer, starting today officially."
Ana was surprised as she turned her head, nudging some cooking ingredients to scatter everywhere.
"Nayra—you?!"
"Yes, it's me .. who is now looking for you after you are sick to the point of being crushed. We can start a war from now on, Ana! Your life won't be quiet."
