I'm Not a Substitute Womb

01. I'm Not a Substitute Womb

Calista smiled when he saw the combination of twilight and icon of Jakarta City looks so beautiful. The bench he sat on was his favorite place when his heart was not okay.

Calista Abraham was the eldest son of Edzard Zeon Abraham and Pricilla Ivy Alexander. But he is not the son of them. He was just an adopted child bestowed with endless amounts of affection.

The biological parents?

Calista smiled bitterly considering who her parents were. His mother died by suicide. Not only as a Mental Hospital patient, but his mother was also an inmate.

Really, Calista does not want to talk about her birth mother especially the biological father who knows who because both of her adoptive parents also do not know who her biological father is.

He just hope, his biological father is a good man even though he was not given the opportunity to meet.

Calista sighed, got up and had to go back home because he was going to attend a School Farewell event at one of the star hotels in Jakarta.

"Yes, Pi. I've been on my way home!" calista received a call from his adoptive Papi, Edzard Zeon Abraham.

Arriving home, Calista went straight into the room and prepared. She looks beautiful at her age blooming.

"Mii. Where's papi?" calista asked as she walked down the stairs, seeing Mami Ivy carrying a few pieces of brownies and a cup of coffee on the tray.

Mami Ivy looked up because Calista was still in the middle of the stairs. "There's on the back porch. Pamit used to be on your possessive Papi," joked Mami Ivy made Calista laugh.

Calista takes over the tray from Mami Ivy's hand. "Where are my two sisters, Mi?" calista asked as she walked towards the back porch with Mami Ivy.

"Obviously, they watch!"

Arriving on the back porch, Calista placed a cup of coffee and a plate of brownies on the table in front of Papi Edzard.

"Pi. Calista's gone, yeah."

Papi Edzard took off his glasses, put them on the table with the newspaper he had read.

"Be careful. Or you're just gonna walk Leon"

Calista. "No need, Pi. Brother Leon must be busy."

Papi Edzard sighed. "Hurry up and get married so I can feel calmer. Leon is also established!"

"Pi. Your oldest son just graduated High School. Do not be asked to marry directly. Do you think marriage is easy? we still fight a lot, let alone them?" cerca Mami Ivy.

"But they're both different, Mi. Leon and Calista have been in contact since then without us getting a match," elak Papi Edzard made Calista turn the ball lazily.

That's how Papi Edzard is. Always told Leon to propose and marry Calista so as not to be related by any man. Papi Edzard believed in Leon.

"Calista is eighteen, Pi."

"It's possible to get married, right?" tanya Papi Edzard makes Calista leave immediately. If not then it will be a long affair and he may not go.

Calista took an online taxi to one of the star hotels in Jakarta. Arriving at the Lobby Hotel, he approached Anita, his best friend since First High School.

"Anita," Calista exclaimed making the girl turn her head and stare.

"Calista," Anita immediately excited and hugged Calista like she had not met for many years. For two days they did not meet. Last met two days ago when she received her graduation.

Anita dreary looking for someone behind Calista. "But you're not coming?"

Calista.

"Sister Leon?"

"No, Anita. Tonight I am free" said Calista.

Anita takes Calista to the Rooftop Hotel. There, there is a cafe that has been booked by Calista and Anita.

Calista holds his breath when inhaled the pungent smell of alcoholic beverages. Actually this perlsta celebration is outside the responsibility of the School so the forbidden drink is in this party.

...****...

In Bali.

Carlos and Nadia are preparing to return to Jakarta because Carlos has work to do.

"Sorry, it's already made a mess for our vacation this time!" carlos said sincerely.

Nadia smiling. "We can take a vacation at any time. Your work needs to be done, right?"

Carlos hugged Nadia. "I'm happy to have you. Thank you so much for loving me" Carlos said.

All this time. Carlos has really dropped his heart for Nadia. He realized, household life is not just a child problem. Most importantly, both partners can accept and be happy living with us.

"When you get home, rest. Don't wait for me to come home. Maybe it will be too late" said Carlos immediately took Nadia and pulled a suitcase, out of the hotel room.

The mature man who loved his wife so much was Carlos Martinez. At the age of his marriage with Nadia stepped on 14 years it did not also have children.

Not that I don't want to, but Carlos is more accepting of what it is. I have tried many different ways but have not been able to produce results. Nadia forced to find a surrogate uterus. However, Carlos did not want to share his body with other women besides Nadia.

Nightfall. Nadia immediately returned home among the drivers while Carlos took a taxi to one of the star hotels where his client was waiting.

"Sorry I'm late!" carlos said upon arrival at the restaurant where the appointment met.

"It's okay, Carl. We also just arrived because it was fun to sit in the Lobby to see young girls roaming around," said William who is famous casanova and does not want to undergo marriage.

Carlos chuckles. "Remember age. Get married, "reprove Carlos.

William clucking. "Come, Carl. Having a wife is not free. My wealth problem? I can rent a uterus to carry my child and take care of a nanny. I don't want to be like you. You used to be the same as me, but why end up with your wife who can't love children?"

Carlos just kept quiet as he clenched his hands under the table. If alluded to the problem of wife and child, of course, very sensitive to him.

Their conversation stopped when the waiter came to bring their order. After dinner, we discussed work.

Until William excuses the toilet, not how long it's coming. The waiter came with two glasses of fruit juice for Carlos and William.

Carlos was not suspicious at all. He took it and drank it. When he felt something strange on his body, he became suspicious of William.

"Need women?" asked William grinning.

"Braven you, Will."

Carlos began to sweat and even took off three buttons of his shirt.

William presented an access card to one of the President's suite rooms to Carlos.

"Don't call a woman, Will!" the door got up before stepping into the room.

"alright. You seem to have truly repented."

Carlos walked quickly while enduring the turmoil. He even avoided touching the people walking around him.

If I go home, it's impossible.

In the elevator, Carlos doesn't realize there's a girl he knows. Yeah, he's Calista and he realizes Carlos isn't okay.

"Om Carlos why?" tanya Calista touched Carlos arm that looked flushed.

Carlos nodded and looked to the side. "Don't touch Om, Calista."

Calista frowned let alone Carlos moving away from his body. He approached Carlos again. At the touch of Carlos' sweaty forehead coincides with the open elevator.

"Of... Put me down" Calista screeched.
