Chapter 5: His true identity

When Samira woke up she was still at the clinic, but the man who had taken her there was gone. She got up and sat on her bed for a while before deciding to leave as well. She was about to leave the room just as the young man holding a plastic bag entered.

"Wait, are you leaving again? We haven't even talked yet." Samira stopped walking and grabbed her stomach. Her stomach growled and the young man arrived just in time. The young man noticed her so he invited her to the table there. She just obeyed and never complained again. She looked for the clock in that room and realized it was already afternoon that was why she was feeling hungry.

"Why didn't you wake me up right away?" she asked the young man.

"Why would I wake you up, you have a deep sleep, and I know that I make you awake all night last night."

"Okay, don't say that, someone might hear you!" She sighed.

"And so, we really did it," the young man justified. Samira got annoyed and took the fried chicken in the bucket and put it in the young man's mouth.

"Just eat that first, then we'll talk about it when we're just the two of us." She is calm now and the anger towards the young man she feels seems to have subsided.

As the two ate, they couldn't help but glance at each other.

"I didn't know you were studying here," said the young man.

"Me too, I didn't know you were studying here," Samira replied. "I don't even know what your name is," she added.

"Lemar," the young man replied immediately.

"Lemar?" Samira repeated because she wanted to know the young man's full name.

"Lemar Monforte." Samira's mouth dropped open at what she heard. She was suddenly felt nervous.

"M-monforte?" She stammered. It occurred to her that her classmate Alves and his brother that were looking for her because their last name was also Monforte. In her mind, this man with her right now might also be one of the brothers of the two people she knew.

"Yes why?" the young man asked.

"Ahh ... nothing." After that Samira didn't ask any more questions and hurried to eat because she wanted to go home.

When they finished eating, they left the clinic. While walking down the hallway, Samira could do nothing but bow. Aside from the young man holding her hand, many students were looking at them. She tried to withdraw her hand but the young man held on tightly to it.

"Now that everyone has seen you with me, you should always be with me," the young man said softly. Although it was not clear to her what the young man said, she was certain that the outcome would not be good. She just looked at him badly.

"On the first day she was with Andrei, then followed by Alves and now she's with Lemar!" the girl in red uniform said unbelievably. Even though it was said softly, the two heard it. In fact, the two even turned their attention to the lady who said that.

"What does she have that we don't have?" the other lady said being disgusted. "Maybe that lady was a witch and used her powers to caught the brothers' attention!" the lady in red added.

The two just kept walking and didn't look at the students around them.

On the second floor of the CBA building where the eldest of the Monforte siblings was, he was quietly watching the two person walking together. He knew the lady with his twin brother right now was the lady he was set to marry. His palm was numb but a smirk drew on his lips.

"Isn't that the lady who followed you?" the young man said. Asher was with Andrei now, one of his cousins. Like Andrei he is also the son of a devil.

"Yes she is," Andrei replied.

"But why is she with Lemar, don't you already own that one?" still wondering what he says. Asher saw that Andrei kissed that lady on the forehead. And he knows one of the laws of their race they have is that the first kiss with a lady just means he should marry her.

"Because he doesn't know about that yet, but once he finds out he himself will voluntarily walk away from the lady who is destined for me," he said complacently. Because even if his twin still liked that lady, he could do nothing but let her go.

"You're right, but what about Elisa? Hasn't she been your girlfriend for a long time?" Andrei turned to his cousin.

"Didn't you like Elisa when you were young," he said with a smile. His cousin's expression was shocked at what he said. "Here's the chance you've been waiting for to stand up to the lady you want." He even tapped his on the shoulder. His cousin was silent and stunned. "You know when we were young you knew I didn't look at Elisa and until now my heart hadn't been taught to love her," he continued. "I just introduced her to father and mother so that they would not have to worry about finding my future wife."

"But Elisa loves you so much." The expression on Andrei's face became serious.

"The relationship won't be happy if only one feels the love and Elisa knows that. She knows I don't love her and she already knows about the lady I kissed." His cousin turned to him.

"Then that woman's life was in danger," his cousin said worriedly. He knew Elisa and knew what he could do, especially when someone dared to take her beloved.

"She can't just hurt that one," he said complacently. "Asher, you know me, in the twenty-three years I've lived in the world I've only just kissed a lady. That one is weird, she's not an ordinary creature, we're not like her but she's an immortal."

The two stopped at an area where there were many acacia trees. They sat on the bench that was there. This place is not new to Samira because this is where she stopped when she followed Alves' brother.

"So, you already met my two brothers?" Lemar asked. Samira turned her attention to the young man. She looks at him as if he has answered what she was thinking about his last name and the last names of two acquaintances. But first she had to act like she didn't know that.

"Brother?" Samira said in astonishment.

"I heard the students talk earlier, that you first met with Andrei and then Alves," Lemar explained.

"I remember, but I didn't know Andrei very well, I just followed him the other day," Samira replied.

"You'd better just forget about him, he has a girlfriend," Lemar said frankly. He doesn't want his twin to be his rival when it comes to Samira. Another was, Samira was already destined for him.

"I know, and I have no intention of flirting with your brother," Samira said reluctantly. "Why did you bring me here?"

"To be with you of course," Lemar replied.

"What happened in the bathroom, how did you get in there?" Samira immediately asked. She has long wondered and wondered about this man and now is her chance to be enlightened.

"Didn't I tell you, because I'm a devil, I have power," Lemar said one after another. He didn't want to mention about his identity because the lady might wouldn't accept him but he just wanted to be honest about it.

"Can you please stop joking?" Instead of believing, Samira raised an eyebrow at the young man. What he says is unbelievable. "I'm asking a good question so I hope you answer well," she added, adding that frustration was obvious in her voice. Lemar just laughed at this, because he thought that the girl's reaction would be that she would be scared and run away, but this one was different.

"I'm telling the truth, don't you believe me?" The young man even frowned. "I have powers because I am a child of the devil," he added proudly. But inwardly he preferred to be an ordinary man because he did not like the activities of his people.

Samira was silent, she didn't want to reveal that she believed what Lemar was saying. Yes, at first she was immediately confident in what the young man said about his personality and his power. Because she herself also has power.

"All right, if you're really the son of a devil, why don't you have a horn?" Samira said jokingly.

"Would you like to see?" Lemar said seriously. "If you want come with me to our kingdom," he added.

"Why should I come with you?" Samira asked.

"For you to meet my parents and for you to believe what I say," Lemar replied. Lemar then took Samira's hand and put a black bracelet on it. Samira withdrew her hand from him.

"What is this?" Samira asked.

"Amulet," Lemar replied. "You need that, especially since they've already seen you with me," he said seriously. "Beware of students in red uniforms because they are also children of the devil." Samira was surprised to find out. She doesn't want to believe what Lemar is saying but half of her mind agrees with that. "While you're wearing that, they can't get close to you." Lemar turned to Samira and smiled at her. "Remember, no one will hurt you when you're with me."

The two stayed in that place until the afternoon came. It was already dark when the two left the school. Even though Samira didn't want to, she just agreed to Lemar's request to take her to their house. Samira was sure that her mother would scold her if she saw a man with her. Even though Samira's house was nearby, Lemar took her in his car. They got there quickly and now they are in front of their house.

Inside Samira's house where her whole family was, they had been waiting for her arrival. If Samira's father is worried about her, her mother is not. Samira was the cook there but her mother switched to cooking because she wasn't there yet. But when Samira's mother saw that the man who had brought her home was in the car, a wide smile flashed on her mother's lips and her eyes seemed to be shining gold. Her mother immediately came out of their house.

When Samira noticed her Mother, she just rubbed her forehead. It will surely scold her again because she came home late at night and she has not been able to cook for them.

"Samira, my precious daughter." Samira's mother spoke those words gently and tenderly. Samira felt unbelievably shock and mixed joy when she heard that. She also wonders what she did now because she was never called by her mother being her precious daughter and neither did her mother treat her in this way when she spoke to her. "Looks like you spent the night studying." Her mother continued with a very obvious smile on her lips.

"I'm sorry Mom," Samira said. "By the way, Lemar brought me." Samira said ntroducing the young man with her.

"Good evening Ma'am," said Lemar. "I'll leave then, I just convey her," he added.

"Just a moment!" Samira's Mother stopped Lemar to go. "Why don't you go inside first and join us for dinner?" Samira's mouth fell open at what she heard and turned in Lemar's direction.

"Mom, it's kind of embarrassing, and maybe his parents are looking for him." Samira still couldn't believe what her mother was doing. But she only had one thing on her mind, she was ashamed that Lemar might not be used to what they ate especially since she knew the young man came from a wealthy family.

"Samira, it's more embarrassing if we don't invite the one who brought you home," her mother reasoned. "And I guess you forgot it's your birthday today, I cooked a lot." Samira frowned at what her mother said. It's not even her birthday today, and if it's her birthday, her mother doesn't have anything to prepare and cook for.

While Samira was worried about that situation, something entered in Lemar's brain to accept Samira's mother's offer. One more thing is that the favor of Samira's mother was in favor of him.

"It's okay, my parents won't scold me." At Lemar's words, Samira's mother smiled even more and even helped him enters the house.

Once inside, the food was already served on the table. Samira was even more shocked because her mother really cooked a lot.

"Why don't you sit down and let's eat," Samira's mother said happily.

"Dad, he was Lemar who brought me here." Samira said introducing the young man to her father.

"Good evening Sir," Lemar said politely.

When everyone sat down, Samira began to pray while Lemar just watched Samira and her family bow and close their eyes. As a devil, they don't do that thing and that's against their law. When they finished praying, they started eating. Samira couldn't help but glance at Lemar as he took the food. She wonders if it's true that Lemar likes the foods he's getting or maybe he's just being forced.

"By the way hijo, are you courting Samira?" Samira's mother said directly. Samira seemed to choke on what she heard so she immediately drank the water next to her, while Lemar stopped eating and looked in the direction of Samira's mother.

"Mom, he's not courting me," Samira replied. She predicted that Lemar might have something else to say.

"Samira is right, I'm not courting her." Samira's mother's expression suddenly changed. She seemed disappointed to hear. "But can I court her?" Lemar added. Samira's eyes widened and fell silent. Her mother's happy reaction returned.

"Of course, Samira doesn't have a boyfriend yet," Samira's mother replied immediately.

"Not yet," Samira's father replied. Samira was reassured by what her father did. "You're young and haven't finished school yet," Samira's father continued.

"What are you honey, our daughter is old enough and they have minds, they already know what they're doing." Samira's mother insisted. Samira's siblings, on the other hand, didn't have a word and just continued eating.

"It's okay if it's not possible yet, so I'll wait," Lemar said politely. Samira turned to Lemar's direction. Part of her heart was happy but she remembered what happened to the two of them last night. She was a little annoyed because it didn't seem true what Lemar was saying now that he could wait for her because he couldn't wait and he immediately claimed her all night. Lemar was also her first kiss. Actually she was still innocent of those things, but when Lemar came into her life she realized the world with him would bring her into happiness.

Time passed and they finished eating as well. In fact, Samira's mother was very happy with what she learned about Lemar. The young man was asked many questions, but all of them were about how rich the young man's family was.

After Lemar said goodbye to Samira's family, he left. He reluctantly got into his car and then turned it on. He just smiled the whole time he drove down the road and until he got home to their kingdom his smile is still there.
