31. I'm Not a Substitute Womb



Calista blinked his eyes repeatedly. Something that was first seen was the ceiling of the inpatient room. Remember the last time it was on the balcony and it lay there and now it knows exactly where it is.


"Well," said Calista Lirih.


Papi Edzard got up swiftly and took a glass of water and sat down at the edge of the gurney, helping Calista sit down and handed him a glass of water and a straw.


Seeing Papi Edzard in the room, he made a glance towards Mami Ivy who was sitting on the sofa with a puffy face.


Calista understood, Papi Edzard knows everything.


Calista looked at Papi Edzard's flat face and did not say a word. "Pi," he said.


"Rest, after we get out of the new Hospital we talk."


Calista sighed and resigned. Especially when Papi Edzard came out of his inpatient room. He knew very well that Papi Edzard would now be angry, disappointed, and sad at the same time.


Calista spent the days in the hospital until returning to the main house just eating, sleeping, and watching television. Mami Ivy doesn't give her access to get in touch with Carlos anymore.


His relationship with Papi Edzard was also still cold.


Calista's stomach is starting to distend. This morning, Calista had woken up early. At the sight of Papi Edzard about to run off in the morning.


"Pi," call Calista down, make Papi Edzard turn his head.


Calista approached Papi Edzard with teary eyes. He was so sad to be ignored by his adopted Papi. After all, the baby is already living together.


"Don't ignore Calista anymore. Sorry I never told you the same story, Papi."


Papi Edzard let out a long sigh, then invited Calista to sit down. "Listen. Papi is not angry. Papi just wanted to let go of the guilt and anger at the man. From your little one, he's scared Papi and it turns out Papi's fear becomes real, the worse you're second!"


Calista hugged Papi Edzard. "Calista who asked Om Carlos to take responsibility, Pi."


"Without asking, he should be responsible. He's old shameless, why should you?"


Calista broke off the hug and rubbed Papi Edzard's arm so he wouldn't get emotional again. "But, remember the high blood."


Papi Edzard. "The fire is still strong and healthy, even still very able to beat the old man," growled Papi Edzard.


"Don't" Calista's great-grandson.


"Why?"


"Later lost the handsome," said Calista increasingly make Papi Edzard furious.


"It's old so it's called handsome," papi Edzard's murmur.


"Bapies are also old there are still flirtatious. Like Papi's new secretary,-" not yet Calista finished saying, Papi Edzard had already smothered his mouth to not continue talking.


"Don't tell me, Mommy. The danger!" whispered Papi Edzard dizzy looking at the various sides of the room.


Calista nodded then his mouth was not full again. "Just look at Papi if you're Mami's duain."


Papi Edzard shuddered at Calista's threat. How can it be double? glancing at the other woman alone, his wife was already punishing him inside the room.


"But want to run in the morning. Papi is still waiting for your husband to come here to show his seriousness," said Papi Edzard got up and left the house.


Calista could only sit in a doldrums. His heart was doubtful whether Carlos would come to pick him up or not.


...****...


Ever since Calista was taken away, Carlos has turned colder, less talkative, busying himself in work.


The gentle treatment of Nadia was no longer there. Now, the two did not talk much especially after seeing Nadia being alone with another man.


It could have been to find out what Nadia was doing outside the house. But, his mind was only focused on Calista and the abandoned work of late.


The effect of Calista's departure is very clear. Lucky Bimo can handle all the work. If not, then it's ruined Carlos's life.


Thinking about what he was going through, it made Carlos miss Calista even more.


"I'm like singing that song. I'm without you dust grains, Calt!"


A second later, Carlos got up and walked out of his study to meet Bimo.


"Tell me what you know, Bim!" carlos's jolt shocked Bimo.


Bimo cleared his throat and put together ten fingers staring at Carlos. He knows what it means to be about things outside of work.


"What do you want to know, sir."


"Don't be like you never know, Bim."


Bimo breathed. "Nadia's problem, you have to find out for yourself. If it's Calista, I've been trying to keep Nadia unsuspecting who your young wife is, Carl. Go pick up your wife. It's time your wife's family found out."


Carlos stared intensely at Bimo.


"If you don't want to, just think about your child. Hasn't the presence of a child been waiting for a long time, Carlos Martinez?"


Carlos nodded and sat down on the sofa. "Message me a beefy chicken rice, a mercon meatball, and seblak now!"


Bimo's eyes widened. "Why so much, sir?"


"I need food to fight my in-laws" Carlos said cynically making Bimo laugh.


Bimo immediately ordered the food that Carlos asked for. "A casanova has changed because of a two-year-old little girl and the woman who becomes the first wife becomes an impingement. And now, being a man who is easy to pussy," Carlos taunted but not at any protest.


As soon as the food had arrived, Carlos immediately ate it and finished it. Finished eating with lips that still feel hot due to the spicy of the three food menus, Carlos went to the main house of the Abraham family with Bimo as a driver.


"Biu.. Bim, stop first!" said Carlos surprised Bimo to have to brake suddenly. Lucky for the vehicle at the time.


Bimo stopped the car in front of the minimarket. "What's up, Mister?"


Carlos breathed. I don't know why the nervousness is. In fact, every time you meet with Edzard will certainly be insinuating to each other never feel nervous.


"Continue our journey, Bim!"


"Well," said Bimo knew that Carlos was nervous.


After the car was in front of the fence of Abraham's family home, Carlos asked Bimo to stop again.


"Damn, I'm nervous!" carlos made Bimo chuckle.


"Shut up, Bim. You've never felt face to face with in-laws" Carlos sissed.


Bimo only puts his shoulders because he married a woman who grew up in Orphanage so never felt what it was like to face in-laws.


"Would you go in, sir?"


"Is Ed home?" not answer but return questions.


"Where do I know sir. I was the same Mr."


"If the same Ed bonyok doang most, but if the same Ivy? I can die a tick," murmured Carlos recognized his two in-laws.


Long Carlos was silent to think about what would happen in the house if he entered without a plan.


"Build."


"Yes, Sir?"


"Why should my in-laws be Ed and Ivy?"
