Several hours had passed since Kumala landed a hard slap on Lisa's cheek and poured out all of her anger on her. The pregnant woman was still sitting cross-legged at the door, mustering up her courage and strength to stand up and apologize to her mother.
Her knees felt stiff and sore after kneeling at the door for too long. Her stomach also started to feel uncomfortable from sitting in a position that pregnant women were not supposed to do.
Like it or not, Lisa has to stay at her mother's house after not coming home for a long time because she works in another city. This is a risk that she must bear since she has no other option. Even though Rangga offers her a comfortable place to live with the best quality of life, she is not a shameless person. Lisa prefers to return to her mother's house, at least for a while, until she finally runs out of options.
