I'm Not a Substitute Womb

05. I'm Not a Substitute Womb

"Why haven't you come down yet, baby?" tanya Nadia approached Carlos in front of the window of the driving car.

Carlos cleared his throat and opened the car door and got out. Bimo also just got out of the car with his wife.

Bimo and his wife were also on good terms with Edzard and Ivy because their son was one hostel with Malya and even their son was friendly.

After the wives met, the two couples entered Edzard's house and were greeted by Ivy.

...****...

Calista's eyes widened to see the guests of his parents who had just arrived. There was fear when his gaze with Carlos met.

Calista got up but his hands were held by Papi Edzard. "Finish your dinner, Calt. And we as hosts should welcome our guests, right?"

Calista just nodded. This is how Papi Edzard educated the three of them. Must be polite to others.

After the others shook hands, the rest of Calista had to shake hands. The first time Calista shook hands with Bimo's wife, then Bimo. I don't know why Bimo stroked his head like a father to his son.

"Your future is back" whispered Bimo to make Calista understand if the grown man in front of her already knows what happened to her.

Calista simply nodded and forced a smile. It was her turn to say hello to Nadia. A woman who had thought of her as her own child but with her husband's heart took something so precious to a woman.

"A long time no see, Calt. Aunty kangen," said Nadia hugging Calista.

Calista was silent without replying to words and hugs. But his gaze pointed at Carlos with a gaze as if a sword was drawing out the man's heart.

Carlos immediately lowered his head to put both hands in his pants pocket. I swear by anything, he's not ready if the events of the night disassembled Calista while being gathered all. There's Nadia here. He was afraid of hurting his wife.

Calista stood before Carlos. A slanted smile was clearly imprinted on his face. "Hi, Carlos Martinez!" press Calista and turn around without seeing Carlos react.

Dinner continued with small talk of the wives. Calista himself knew that Carlos kept watching him. But, with all her might held back from going berserk on the man who had desecrated her. A man who does not want to be responsible for his vile deeds.

If you really want to be responsible, why up to a week after the incident did not also come to him or his family?

Calista suddenly growled to the point of tightly grasping the spoon and fork in his hand. His gaze met with Carlos then he threw away his face. The disgust is back.

He closed his eyes for a moment and opened them after feeling calm.

"Calistas. Why are you quiet from now on?" ask Nadia.

"Yes, Tan."

"More upset thinking of a girlfriend, huh?" goda Nadia made Calista smile slanted and put the meat in her mouth.

"No, Tan. I thought of the husband again" Calista made everyone laugh but not Carlos stiffened at his words.

"Calista back, Pi."

Calista stepped into the kitchen where there was a bathroom. Closing the door a little rough. His chest up and down felt the air so crowded faced Carlos.

Apparently, he has not been strong against Carlos and Nadia. Calista inched a squat on the bathroom floor leaning against the door. He was back crying considering what happened that night.

His eyes closed as both hands moved to rub the part of the body where Carlos continued to touch him that night.

His eyes opened again, wiped the tears violently and then rose to step to turn on the water faucet. Wash her face wet with tears.

Just now, seeing Calista leave the dining room made Carlos want to follow soon. It was so bad that he apologized for the fatal mistake made to the young girl.

Finally, Carlos excuse me to leave for a moment on the grounds of receiving a call from one of his friends.

Their gazes met, Carlos' feet approaching Calista. "Sorry," he said sincerely but was responded by Calista with a slanted smile and then chuckled.

"What's with the apology you're going to restore my chastity, Carlos Martinez?" press Calista makes Carlos shut up.

Calista looked at Carlos. "Are you going to be responsible for your disgusting behavior?" ask Calista coldly. To be honest, he did not want to marry Carlos at all. Asking like that just wanted to test to what extent this man in front of her was doing for her.

"That's impossible, Calt. I've got a wife and we're not getting married because,-"

"Enough. I know now."

Calista's emotions were re-ignited. Even he spoke already pointed at Carlos's chest field.

"You'd say that we're more deserving of age like father and son, right? so how did you do when you did that? do you think I'm more deserving of being your son?" Calista tries to keep her voice down so no one knows if Carlos did that to her.

"So what am I supposed to do, Calt?"

"Whatever. The important thing is never to show yourself in front of me" Calista said, then returned to the dinner table.

Carlos went into the bathroom. Repeatedly sighing at him from the reflection of the mirror. He keeps thinking about how to be responsible to Calista without having to marry.

"Honey. You're okay, right?" mami Ivy whispered and answered a nod by Calista.

"Calista, have you seen Carlos?" nadia asked and Calista answered with a shoulder.

...*****...

Somewhere else. More precisely the city park. Leon just quietly enjoyed the crowded atmosphere around him but he was lonely.

The breath sounds so heavy. He knows life has to go on. However, anyone will feel sad if what is planned is not the right decision for God.

Leon shook his head when his dream disappeared within minutes. "When so many of our dreams, Calt."

As it was getting late, Leon decided to return home. He knew for sure both his parents would have known the end of their relationship.

When he got home, his parents were waiting to go home.

"Are you okay, Leon?" ask Mother Elena.

Leon has not answered, choosing to hug Mother Leon for a moment. "Leon's fine, Bun. No need to worry," said Leon made Mother Elena pat her back.

"Not to be sad. Now focus on your education and business, Leon. Five more years you're getting married to Malya," Aaron's father said, just coming to the living room, much to Leon's surprise.

"Can't dong, Dad."

"Why can't you?"

"yeah. I just split up with Calista. How can I be paired with that spoiled and dirty girl?"

Leon couldn't leave the living room. What happened to her parents? thought Leon.
