Chapter 21

The dark story of the past makes Lalisa choose to hide everything from Rio. It's not that he wants to run away from reality, but he feels that it's not time for Rio to know all that.

"Mother!"

Rio called from behind the door. Lalisa turned around and saw her son who was there.

"Dear!" He ran anxiously at Rio.

A mother will not be able to see her baby hurt, let alone fainting from a small cut, a mother will be very worried about her child.

"Why are you here, honey? Why don't you just sleep in your room? If you need anything you can call Mom, and I'll come to your room soon, honey."

Lalisa helps Rio to walk. He led Rio to sit on the sofa that was provided there.

"It's okay, Mom. I'm feeling better than before."

Sitting slowly, with the help of his mother. Rio still looked very pale on his face, and his body also couldn't stand up straight.

"What are you doing here, honey?" asked Lalisa suspiciously.

He didn't mean to suspect Rio, but it was just that it would be better if Rio stayed on his bed.

"There is something I want to talk to, Mother," said Rio seriously.

"What is it, honey? It seems very serious?" asked back Lalisa.

There is a desire in Rio's heart to tell a story. Previously he wanted to say it to Lay while in the UKS room, but Rio thought the resulting moment was not right. So Rio decided to tell it to his mother.

"I was going to say it, but Mother promised to answer honestly. Can you?"

Before this conversation could go any further, Rio wanted the answer from his mother to be honest and not made up.

"I'll try. But what exactly do you want to talk to Mom about?"

Ranya can't just promise, because it will be a high risk if it involves Rio's past, which Lalisa has been hiding for hundreds of years.

"This morning a new student came to my school," said Rio, starting this conversation.

"Then what's the matter with the new student? Is he bothering you, honey? Did the new student make you uncomfortable?"

A mother will immediately feel anxious, when her child tells about her activities at school. She will definitely be afraid, in case her child is bullied or bullied. It would make a mother's heart cry.

"That's not what I meant, Mom. He doesn't bother me, and on the contrary I feel something strange about him?" Rio said similarly with that feeling.

"What's weird, honey? Try to say it clearly, I don't understand what you mean," said Lalisa.

The two of them sat and looked at each other. Rio, who looked serious, kept looking at the pendant in his mother's hand.

Looks like I just saw the Pendant? Rio thought in his mind.

"Honey," said Lalisa slowly.

It turned out that Rio was daydreaming, he was silent for a moment until he finally regained his senses.

"Yes, ma'am," he said.

"Are you daydreaming? What are you thinking, honey?" Lalisa touched Rio's wrist, and rubbed it gently and warmly.

"There's nothing that I'm thinking about. It's just that since I met the new kid, my mind doesn't want to stop thinking about it," said Rio looking confused.

"Thinking about it? What do you mean, honey? Tell me clearly, I won't know if you stutter like this," asked Lalisa.

Until this moment, he has not clearly stated what he wants to express, and this makes Lalisa as her mother curious.

"This morning he came to my school. His arrival was greeted so lively by everyone, that I myself was surprised by his figure," explained Rio with his words.

Lalisa can only listen to it, she will speak after Rio finishes telling the story later.

"Then, as usual, I asked Laras, it turned out that he knew about the new kid… Laras said he was an artist, who is currently being loved by everyone," continued Rio.

Lalisa was silent. He would let Rio finish his story first before he finally gave his opinion.

"Out of curiosity, Laras and Lay went to see it. At first I felt normal, but why when Laras said his name at the same time I felt something strange inside me," thought Rio while giving an explanation.

"What's so weird, honey? What's wrong with you?"

"At that moment I saw a dark ray of light coming out of the new child's body. Isn't it strange, Mother? How can someone give off a dark light, like he is being possessed by a supernatural being," said Rio in disbelief.

All Lalisa was normal when she listened to every word that Rio said, but why in the last sentence Lalisa's expression changed drastically.

He was suddenly nervous not playing. Both of his eyes opened wide as Rio said that he could see someone giving off a black aura.

"Then, what's the name of the new will?" He asked to be sure.

"I also forgot what his real name was… If I'm not mistaken Laras said his name was… Ludra. That's what I remember too."

The answer brought a big change for Lalisa, "Ludra!"

Her lips trembled, she stuttered. His hand was gone too.

Thek… The pendant slipped from his hand, and fell to the floor.

"Mother!"

This child is worried about the change in his mother's attitude. At first her mother was fine and there seemed nothing unusual about her, but now her demeanor had turned 190 degrees different.

"Sorry."

Lalisa immediately picked up the fallen pendant. Sitting alone was not calm, he covered his nervousness from Rio.

"What happened to you? Why are you suddenly so nervous?" asked Rio in surprise.

This 17-year-old young man is curious why his mother acted strangely when he heard the name Ludra? What is Ludra like that even his mother can feel nervous?

"Mom are you okay?"

Touch Rio to his Mother. He saw Lalisa who was holding her chest while turning her face in another direction.

"I'm okay… Mom suddenly felt dizzy, honey. You'd better go back to your room. I want to rest here first," said Lalisa while holding her head.

"Are you really all right? Should I call the doctor to check on you?" asked Rio worriedly.

From his vision Rio saw his mother's face which was starting to turn pale. Meanwhile, Lalisa closed her face so that Rio wouldn't see her.

"No need, honey. Mom is fine. I just need to lie down for a while on the bed, and after that you will definitely be healthy again... Trust me, you don't have to worry about Mother," Lalisa asked continuously.

He wanted to hide this from Rio, his shock was when he found out the name of the new student.

"Okay, Mom. I'll go back to my room. But can you walk?"

"Sure, you don't have to worry about that. You'd better go back to your room, honey. You should get plenty of rest too."

Even if it's hidden like anything, Lalisa's nervousness will show too.

"Okay, ma'am. I'm leaving."

Rio gave up, he left from there as his mother ordered. Rio left this room with his mother sick.

He didn't have the heart to actually leave his mother here, but because his mother asked him to do so, Rio had to go.

Hu… Lalisa exhaled so long. He grabbed the Pendant again.

"He's here! They're already here… How could they escape the Veil of Immortality? What should I do? Rio must be protected immediately."

Anxious to think about that. Lalisa kept stroking her chest. It was so tight there that it was hard for him to breathe.
