Not being able to connect with his beloved sister had sunk Calvino into an overriding fear. He couldn't wait any longer until the next day. Tonight, he gave orders to Aiden to arrange flights to Indonesia.
This sudden departure has left a question in Dreena's mind. She then rushed to her beloved son. "Wait, Vin!"
The one who was called immediately stopped his steps and turned his body to look directly at his mother's beauty, which no longer implied the shade.
The beautiful face that had begun to be overgrown with wrinkles was also covered in excessive worry. Calvino got closer, looking at his mother with a deep and long gaze.
"I'm leaving now, Mom."
"Did something bad happen to your sister?" Dreena's voice was trembling with a mixture of anxiety and worry.
Calvino smiled and, at the same time, grabbed his mother's fingers in a gentle stroke.
"Earl is fine, Mom."
"Then, why are you leaving for Indonesia tonight? Why don't you wait until tomorrow morning? What's the weird thing that you have to leave so late at night, huh? Listen, Vin. I won't let you go tonight either."
"Even if you forbid me, I will still go, Mom."
"Vin!" Dreena growled, mixed with a sharp glare.
Calvino smiled. Again, he held his mother's fingers combined with a gentle look.
"I'm sorry. I have to go to Indonesia tonight. So, please, Mom. Don't stop me. I don't want to be a disobedient son by going against your orders, Mom."
Dreena flinched and gasped even more at her son's unusual behavior. "Then tell me! What kind of weird thing has happened that I have to let you go tonight?!"
"Office problems, Mom. The problems there need my help urgently."
"Don't lie to me," Dreena replied, combined with a searching gaze looking for honest answers on his son's handsome face. If it was like this, Calvino couldn't dodge anymore.
Luckily, Bramantara immediately intervened so that Dreena's focus was divided, and Calvino used this opportunity to walk away from his mother quickly.
"Wait, Vin!" However, Calvino didn't hear, so he walked away from his parents.
"I knew something bad had happened." Said Dreena while looking at her husband.
"Never mind, honey. We'd better go to our room. Come on!" Said Bramantara while grabbing his wife's waist, but it was brushed off violently.
Now, Dreena's gaze sharpened. "You should have stopped my son from leaving. But, you... you supported him instead." Dreena snapped.
"What support, honey?" Bramantara asked in a flat voice as if he didn't really know what was going on.
Dreena gave a sinister smile. "What big secret are you two hiding from me, huh?"
"There are no secrets, honey. We are one family, so why are there secrets? Haven't we been open to each other in everything?"
"NONSENSE! Don't think I forgot what happened a few years ago."
"Honey, it happened a long time ago. Please, don't bring it up again."
Her husband's words had squeezed her into a sea of emotions so that she immediately showered him with deadly glares.
"You're asking me not to bring that up again, huh? While you're hiding the harsh truth about my daughter..." Dreena paused. She regulated her emotions to not get out of control.
"My daughter suffered for many years, and even now, my daughter still has to live apart from me."
"Please, honey. Don't ever bring up that bitterness again. Right now, our daughter is happy."
Dreena smiled sarcastically. "Happy? How do you know that our daughter is happy while living in a very far country, huh?"
"At least our daughter is free from a cruel man like Jozh."
Dreena's lips returned to a sinister smile. "Yes, that's true. My daughter has indeed been separated from Jozh, but her safety is still in danger. Don't you have the slightest worry, huh? Right now, Earl lives alone in a faraway country without any assistance." Dreena's tone of frustration tickled Bramantara's ears.
"Calista is not alone. Beni and Mira accompany her. Besides that, Sean and Kenan also tighten our daughter's guard. Isn't that enough, honey?"
"Not yet, because what I want is Earl to be by my side and always with me. NOTE THAT! I want my daughter to always be with me." At the same time, Dreena immediately stepped into the room by slamming the door behind her.
Bramantara rubbed his face roughly and then sat down on the long sofa. His wife's anger and no news from Calista had drowned him into a sense of restlessness, anxiety mixed with deep worry. Not wanting to be sunk into an increasingly torturous feeling, he immediately contacted Kenan to get information about his beloved daughter.
"Yes, sir," Kenan answered, chiming with his typical waking voice.
"How is Calista?"
"Miss is not reachable yet, sir."
Bramantara was furious. "Find her and tighten the guard!"
"Alright, sir."
"Jozh, how's that guy?"
"Currently, Mr. Jozh joined the strongest mafia network in Germany."
"Say that again, Kenan!" Said Bramantara with a furrowed brow.
"Yes, sir. Mr. Jozh Mandoze joined the mafia network in Germany under Mr. Antonio's orders."
Kenan's words made Bramantara's body limp until his heart beat a thousand times faster than usual.
'This is impossible. Kenan must have been misinformed.' Bramantara muttered in his heart.
Unfortunately, the information Kenan has provided was not wrong. Jozh was indeed part of the most dangerous mafia network.
Not wanting anything bad to happen, he immediately told his favorite son always to be careful. However, Calvino still looked calm.
"Take it easy, Dad. Leave it all to me. Let me take care of this, Dad." After that, he immediately turned off the phone with his beloved father.
Even though Calvino looked calm in front of his father, however, the worry could never be ignored. After all, his strength would not be comparable if he dealt with Antonio.
"Strengthen the guard for Miss Earl!" He ordered Kenan.
"Alright, sir," Kenan answered from the other side of the phone. After that, he immediately turned off the phone with his master.
Calvino then leaned his head on the back of the sofa with his eyes closed. However, he never really closed his eyes because his mind was still drifting away, thinking about the safety of his beloved sister.
The brown silhouette opened again, and at the same time, he straightened his seat combined with a hardened jaw, a sharp glare, and both hands clenched tightly. "Speed up!" He ordered Khair.
"Alright, sir," Khair replied and, at the same time, drove the car at high speed through the city of Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
