The impatient Jozh continued to press his mother.
"Don't be silent, Mom. Say something! Why can't I divorce Calista?"
--
Calista locked herself in her room for two days. Did Calista regret her pregnancy? Of course not.
However, one thing that made her a dilemma was why this pregnancy had to come at the wrong time.
With no other choice, she finally asked Lenata to pick her up this afternoon.
"What happened?" Lenata asked from across the phone.
"Hey, what's going on? Why are you crying? Calista, answer me!"
"It's nothing, Len. I'll tell you after we meet." Shortly after, Calista immediately disconnected the phone.
Not long after, Lenata had arrived at Laurent's mansion because the distance was not that far. But, her arrival wasn't welcomed by Laurent at all.
Still, Lenata paid no heed to the middle-aged woman's attitude.
Finding Calista coming down the stairs, Laurent immediately rushed over. But Calista didn't care at all.
"Come on, Len!"
"Wait, Calista!" Laurent immediately stopped Calista's departure as she was wondering where she would go? Why not bring anything but clothes she was wearing.
"Are you going to stay at Lenata's apartment?"
"No."
"Then?"
"I wanna go back to Indonesia."
Laurent was shocked by what had just disturbed her hearing. She felt like being hit by lightning in broad daylight.
She never thought that her daughter-in-law would take such a stand. One thing that she thought about was how to deal with Calista's father, Bramantara Kafeel.
"If you care about me, please let me go for my happiness with my future baby and never look for or come to see me for any reason," said Calista without looking at Laurent.
After that, Calista walked straight out from the mansion.
"Calista, wait!"
Without looking, Calista knew that Laurent was currently crying. But what was it for? It was too late.
Calista's life has been ruined since she came to this mansion.
Laurent's fingers reached out to grab Calista's shoulders and slowly turned her around.
"Calista... I ..." Lauren was unable to continue her sentence. What she did was hug and then kiss the top of Calista's head for the first time.
Even though Laurent wanted this, somehow, Calista's departure left a deep sadness, especially for the baby in the womb.
"Go, Calista! I won't hinder you. I'm sorry, I had been poisoning Jozh's mind to hate you and chose to be with Lana all this time."
"I never wanted you, but things changed after knowing that Lana was only after Jozh's property as the sole heir to all of Mandoze's wealth." Lauren added.
As if knowing what Laurent was thinking, Calista's fingers reached out to touch her shoulder.
"It's too late, Mom. No matter what the situation is. Just accept Lana, and don't ever repeat the same mistakes." Calista replied.
"Good bye, Mom"
Not wanting to be involved in conversations with the evil-old woman who had managed to destroy her life, Calista chose to leave the mansion, leaving bitter memories.
Along the way to Lenata's apartment, tears kept flowing down Calista's cheeks. Meanwhile, Lenata just glanced at her while continuing to drive the car at high speed.
Calista's current appearance was awful. She, who used to be famous for being fashionable, was no longer seen that way.
Her hair wasn't neatly arranged, dark circles under her eyes could be seen, her face was dull, and the most terrible thing was the look in her eyes that no longer shine beautifully, as she was full of heavy burdens and deep wounds.
"Wipe your tears! I don't want people to see you and accuse me of..."
"Does anyone in your apartment?" Calista cut the conversation.
"Of course I'm alone. Who do you think I live with, huh?" Lenata replied.
"With friends, maybe."
"Listen, Calista! Even though I've lived in London for a long time, eastern customs are still firmly attached. How can you think like that about me?" Lenata growled.
"I mean, who knows if you live with your friends who are from Indonesia. I don't think that you live with a man tho."
Embarrassed, that was what Lenata felt. She then immediately changed the conversation topic and handed the flight ticket into Calista's hands straightly.
"Get some rest, and don't cry anymore. Listen to me, Calista, a pregnant woman, must be happy! Take care of your baby in your womb." Lenata gave advice.
After that, Lenata left Calista alone in the room. She then immediately contacted her family in Indonesia to pick them up at the airport.

Bandung, Indonesia
After arriving in Bandung city, Lenata immediately asked her private driver to pull over the car.
"Where's the car key?" Lenata asked.
"No, lady." Lenata's private driver replied.
"Give me the key." Said Lenata while handing over some money for the driver to take a taxi to go home.
Lenata wanted to drive her own car to Kafeel's residence.
Throughout the journey, Calista remained silent by looking away from the road, trying to enjoy every sight along the way. Even so, it couldn't take her away from the sadness.
Tears kept rolling down Calista's cheeks. Not wanting to add to the wound in her best friend's heart, Lenata kept quiet, focusing on the road in front of her.
After travelling for an hour, they finally arrived in front of a super-luxury house combined with a classic Moroccan building.
The building was equipped with an elevator. At the back, there was a garden and an artificial waterfall. The garden was stunning and spacious as if it was in the tropics.
Calista, drowning in sadness, didn't realise that the car had stopped in front of a high fence.
'I can finally set my feet again in this house full of sweet memories after three years.' Calista thought while wiping her tears roughly.
"Welcome, lady," said the security guard as he opened the car door.
"Come on! Your mom and dad must be waiting." Lenata asked Calista to hurry.
Calista gasped as she heard the sentence that had just disturbed her hearing. She didn't even think that Lenata would dare to be so bold.
"Sorry, Calista, I told your parents without your permission. I just don't want them to be shocked to see you come." Lenata explained.
Noticing the change in Calista's expression, Lenata immediately gripped, occasionally squeezing her tightly, trying to give her strength.
"I'll stay here for a few days," Said Lenata reassuringly.
Calista's eyes seemed full of questions, so Lenata immediately explained that she didn't say anything about the problems that happened to Calista's marriage life.
"Don't keep Uncle and Aunty waiting. Come in!" Lenata invited.
