“Ring.. Ring..”
I looked down at my phone in my hand and saw that it was Rai’s mom calling me.
“Hi, Mom,” I answered.
“Katarina, dear. Where are you? Are you with Damian?” she asked me.
“No, I’m at the airport with Cole. I’m going back to Jakarta tonight,” I told her.
“Did you have a fight with Damian?” she asked again. There was something in her tone.
“Did he tell you?” I was kind of irritated that Damian had told her.
“Kat, dear. Would it be alright if I ask you to go back to Damian?” Her tone was not the usual soothing tone.
“But..” I decided to tell her what happened, at least a summary of it, but she cut me off before I could tell her about it.
“I’m sorry, dear. If this is not urgent, I wouldn’t ask you. He needs you. At least for tonight. If you decide to come back here tomorrow, then it’s okay. But tonight, he needs you,” she said.. No.. she was begging me to go back. She had never cut me mid-sentence before.
