Paying Karma Love

62 Temporary Farewell

Almost the entire night Audrey could not close her eyes. He only slept for a while and woke up early in the morning. Audrey was always thinking about what happened to Reiner. There was such a strong urge from her to accompany Reiner in the hospital. His heart was like having a connection with Reiner's heart. I don't know why he felt that Reiner needed him so much right now.

Should I go quietly to the hospital?

But what if Mama sees me? I promised him.

audrey thought worried.

The sound of a knock on the door made Audrey wake up from her daydream.

"Audrey, it's me" Tristan's familiar voice sounded.

Why is Tristan here so early?

thought Audrey saw a new clock showing at seven in the morning.

"Audrey, I'll take you home now. Or do you want to go to the hospital with Reiner? After this I have to go to the office, so we better leave as soon as possible," Tristan said, looking into Audrey's eyes.

"Master, I can go home by myself. Sir don't need to deliver me."

"Why are you always so stubborn? I'll still take you home. Have you had breakfast?"

Audrey shook her head.

"If you don't think about your health, at least think about your baby" Tristan said, drawing Audrey's hand.

Tristan takes Audrey to the restaurant on the ground floor.

"Eat breakfast provided for hotel guests. I'll wait for you in the lobby."

Audrey only ate for a while because she didn't want Tristan to wait for her any longer.

Where am I supposed to go? If I go home to Mama's house, Nicko will find me easily. Would I rather ask Jonathan for help?

I can't owe Tristan too much.

"Sir, please take me to my Om's house," Audrey said hesitantly.

Tristan looked at Audrey with suspicion.

"Why don't you go home to Reiner or go to the hospital? Didn't you love Reiner so much, you should be accompanying him now. What's going on between you and Reiner?"

Audrey silently did not answer. He did not want to tell his family to another man.

"Audrey, you're always quiet when I ask you something. How long have you been acting like this? I sincerely help you as a friend. Are you still suspicious of my intentions? I'm not a lowly man who likes to take advantage of the situation, especially from a woman who is pregnant," Tristan said.

"Master, forgive me. I know Master was very good to me. I. I could not see Reiner, because I was the cause of the accident. I should have been hit, but Rein saved me."

Tristan scrunched his forehead.

"Didn't every husband have to protect his wife? That's a natural thing. I can't believe that's your only reason. There must be another problem keeping you away from Reiner. Does it have anything to do with your past?"

"Master, there's no need to talk about this matter anymore. I just want my husband and his family to be happy. They would be better off without me" Audrey said sadly.

Is it possible that the Reiner family is putting pressure on Audrey?

tristan thought he was trying to guess.

Seeing Audrey's apprehensive condition, Tristan decided to stop asking questions and take Audrey where she wanted to be.

Along the way, Audrey and Tristan did not talk to each other. Until they finally arrived at Mr. Jonathan's house.

Mr. Jonathan, who was in the garage of his house, looked surprised to see Audrey and Tristan.

"Audrey? What was? Om was just about to go to Bratawijaya's house to ask about Reiner's condition. Om saw the news on an online site that Reiner had a hit-and-run accident. Is that true?"

"Yes, Om Reiner had an accident yesterday. Reiner is now in Victory hospital."

"Then why aren't you at the hospital accompanying Reiner, Audrey?" ask Mr. Jonathan in astonishment.

"Sorry, sir, Audrey's condition is weak. She's pregnant. You better tell him to go inside first" Tristan explained.

Who is this young man with Audrey? He seems very attentive to Audrey.

inner Lord Jonathan watched Tristan.

"Mind me Tristan, Audrey's office mate."

"Oh, yes please come in" said Mr. Jonathan.

After letting Audrey and Tristan in, Mr. Jonathan asked Audrey about Reiner's accident. While holding back tears, Audrey recounted the incident that befell her and Reiner.

"Om, can Audrey ask Om to monitor Reiner's health?"

"Of course, Audrey. But Om doesn't understand why you decided to stay away from Reiner. You're pregnant and Reiner is sick. Under these circumstances, you and Reiner need each other. You guys should stay together."

"Sorry, Om, Audrey did this for Reiner. Audrey won't risk Reiner's life again."

"Audrey, did Alexander or Valeria tell you to leave Reiner? They were very protective of their son. If that's true, Om will talk to them."

"Don't, Om. Papa and Mama are sad, don't add to their burden. Audrey wants one more favor to tell Mama that Audrey's going out of town for a while. Audrey's gonna tell Mama in person."

Mr. Jonathan was surprised to hear Audrey's words.

"Audrey, where are you going? Going alone is very dangerous for women who are pregnant. If you want to calm down, you can stay in villa Om. You will be safe in the villa. But it's a long way, about five hours from here. Om will ask the driver to take you there. Om didn't dare drive himself out of town."

"I'll take Audrey there, sir. Just give me the address" Tristan said, offering help.

"Well, I'll give you the full address, Tristan."

"Master, but you have to go to the office. There was no need to drive me" Audrey said, trying to turn down Tristan's offer.

Does Tristan like Audrey? She looked at Audrey just like Reiner. I can't let them go alone.

mind Mr. Jonathan was-was.

"Audrey, we'd better invite your Mama and Mr. Hendri to accompany you at the villa. Om will invite them to go with you. You can take your things first to Reiner's house."

Tristan handed her phone to Audrey.

"Use my phone to call Reiner's house. Have your maid prepare all your things. Ryan will take it."

"Yes, Sir."

Audrey calls her home and tells Bi Mila to prepare all her clothes in the suitcase.

Bi Mila's voice sounded worried.

"Madam, are you going abroad to accompany Mr. Reiner for treatment? I'm worried because you didn't come home last night."

"Auntie doesn't have to worry. Please get my clothes ready, Bi. A guy named Ryan will take it. I have to go for a while."

"Okay, Madam."

...****************...

Audrey was crying in her mother's arms.

"Darling, are you sure of your decision?Having a pregnancy without a husband is hard. Then what if you give birth?"

"Yes, Ma. Audrey was sure. Audrey promised Reiner we'd give birth safely. Audrey must be strong."

Mrs. Olin stroked Audrey's hair.

"Audrey, Mama will always be by your side. Mama's gonna help you get through this."

Tristan drove his car carefully so as not to wake Audrey and Opa who were asleep in the car. Ny at a Glance. Olin notices Tristan's actions which seem to have special feelings for her daughter.

After traveling for a long time, they finally arrived at the villa owned by Mr. Jonathan.

"Are you Miss Audrey? Please enter. Mr. Jonathan told me to prepare your room. I am Usman, the guardian of this villa," said a forty-year-old man who welcomed Audrey's arrival.

"Yes, sir, thank you."

Mr. Usman brought in Audrey and Ms.'s suitcase. Olin into the villa.

"Tante, Opa, I'm going home" Tristan said farewell to Mrs. Olin and Opa.

"Thank you, Tristan has delivered us. Don't you want to stop by for a break?" ask Ny. Olin.

"No Aunt, I have to go back to the office. This is my phone number, if you need help don't hesitate to call me," Tristan said handing over his card.

"Thank you yes. Be careful on the road."

Tristan turned her eyes to Audrey.

"Audrey, take care of your health. I'll go first" Tristan said goodbye.

"Thank you, sir."

Mrs. Olin looked at Tristan who was walking away from Audrey from a distance.

"Olin, why did her husband Audrey leave? Is he not staying with us?" ask Opa confused.

"Pa, it's Tristan, Audrey's boss, not her husband. Audrey's husband is Reiner. Papa Khan has met Reiner."

"Oh, why is that? Papa forgot her husband Audrey's face. Papa just remembered he was tall and handsome like the man before."

"Already, Pa, let's go in. Papa must rest first after the trip out of town," said Mrs. Olin brought Opa into the villa.

...****************...

Mrs. Diana and Karin prepare to leave the hotel.

"Today, we're leaving now for the airport."

"Yes, Aunt."

Karin carried her bag and prepared to open the door, when she heard a very loud knock in their room.

"Yes, wait," said Karin opening the door.

"Good morning, Miss."

Karin and Ms. Diana was surprised to see Nicko standing at the door with a cold face. Next to Nicko were several police officers who came with him.

Mrs. Diana trembled when one of the policemen came to her.

"Mrs Diana, we're from the police carrying a warrant for your arrest. You become a suspect in a hit-and-run case and a premeditated assassination attempt on Mr. Reiner Bratawijaya. You can contact the Attorney General to help you."

"Sir, I'm just being slandered. I don't know anything. Nicko, please tell the police that I'm innocent. Since yesterday I've been on vacation here with Karin, my niece. I couldn't have done a hit-and-run, let alone wanted to kill Reiner."

Nicko replied in a flat voice.

"Sorry, Madam, your lies are known to the police. The car you used to hit Mr. Reiner has also been found as evidence. Now you have to spend the rest of your life in jail."

"Don't let go of me. I'm innocent, I'm just being slandered" she screamed. Diana's hysterical.

"Miss, please come with us as witnesses" police told Karin.

Karin just accepted her fate. Maybe it's time, him and Miss. Diana bore the consequences for all their sins.
