43. Aunty Anggun

"Oh really ? Sorry then. You also provoked my emotions." Calista replied while pursing her lips. Lewis smiled faintly at the look on Calista's face, which looked like a sulky child.

Lewis furrowed his brows at Calista's answer. But he was reluctant to reply because it would be an endless debate.

"What are you doing here? Are you on business?" Lewis asked as he continued to drive.

Calista was silent for a moment. Her eyes rolled, her lips pursed. She was looking for a valid excuse. It's impossible to say that Darren's mom invited him, right? Later suspected relationship status. Not even a job. Lewis would have known better because he was one of the bosses.

"On vacation. I'm on vacation." Calista replied.

Lewis grinned in disbelief.

"You've been caught lying, girl," Lewis thought to himself.

The sound of Calista's cell phone, which was a lyric from the initial song of an Indonesian female singer in her sling bag, made Calista uncomfortable.

"Don't want to pick up?" Lewis asked.

"No need. Not really important." Calista's faint smile was enough to make Lewis's heart flower a little. This fierce woman is also cute when she smiles.

"There is the hotel where I stay. Just stop in front of it. Thank you and sorry for bothering you." Calista unbuckled her seatbelt and opened the door after Lewis' car arrived in front of the lobby.

"May I have your phone number?" Lewis asked before Calista got out of the car.

"Hmm, at the next meeting if we meet again, I will give you my cellphone number. Be careful on the road." Calista smiled more kindly and got out and closed Lewis's car door.

"It was easy for me to get your cellphone number. But, I want you to hand it over to me yourself." Lewis said muttering while looking at Calista who was walking towards the hotel. The hotel where Darren was staying.

Calista's cell phone rings non-stop. She didn't even need to look at her phone screen, she already guessed who was calling. If answered, surely this man will be angry and speak in a high tone. So, Calista chose not to pick it up.

Incoming message beeps. Calista looked at the sender's name. If she opens the message, he will see the blue tick. However, from those four sentences, Calista doesn't need to open it but already knows the contents.

"Pick up my phone now, Calista!" Thus the contents of the written message. Calista snorted sarcastically.

"Still thinking about your wife even though you're with a girlfriend? Your husband wants to win himself! If you really love her, why don't you just marry her?" Calista said to herself while nagging at the inanimate object in her hand.

"Her husband is cheating on you, dear?" A middle-aged mother with an elegant appearance surprised herself who was both standing in front of the elevator door.

"Ahh, n-no ma'am. Hehehe..." Calista felt awkward. She forgot to swear in public.

"If your husband cheats on you, You have to show her that the mistress is far behind you. I see you are very beautiful and have a good body." Answer the fashionable lady.

"Hehehe, unfortunately... I lost by far." Calista replied with a resigned smile.

TING ...

The elevator doors opened and the two of them got in. The room in the elevator was empty so the lady continued her conversation.

"Don't tell your husband you lost too much. Husbands should be made to regret that they wasted diamonds at home for shards of glass on the streets." The mother seemed fierier to give encouragement.

Calista listened out of respect for elders. However, Calista felt a little happy that someone would encourage her among the people around who ignored her, except for Mama Sara.

"Yes mother, thank you for the motivation. Maybe it's because I'm not good enough or I can't win my husband's heart, so I lost to that woman." Answered Calista while looking at the elevator door which also reflected the image of himself and his mother next to him.

"Anyway, here's my business card. I'll be staying here for the next 5 days. If you want, we can chat often. I don't have a daughter, let alone a son-in-law. Do you want to be friends with this old lady?" A sincere smile appeared on the lips of a graceful woman who was the same age as her mother-in-law.

Calista laughed lightly when she heard the old words describe a woman who wears full make-up and clothes as well as bags and branded shoes.

"Alright, I accept the card. Thank you for comforting me." Calista answered while lowering her neck.

"Oh, we haven't known each other. My name is Anggun. You?" asked the woman, holding out her hand.

"My name is Calista. Auntie's name is in accordance with aunt's character. Graceful." Answer Calista honestly as it is.

The woman laughed crisply before finally separating and pressing the left and right cheeks to each other because Anggun came down first.

Calista looked at the business card in her finger with a smile. Then she put it in her sling bag. Calista had dialled the original floor number so she didn't know what she would find on that floor.

TING ...

The number 10th floor he had been pressing stopped. Calista walked out of the elevator hesitantly. This floor is still in the form of lodging rooms but there is an open garden on this floor.

Instantly Calista felt the euphoria of pleasure welling up in her chest. Finally, she could calm down in this garden. Calista looked around but there was no one. Yes, which guests want to spend the day in the hotel. They must go to the beach or take a walk to the market and other tourist attractions.

Calista took a sitting position on one of the long chairs made of very beautiful brown carved wood. Above the chair is made a small roof that is enough to provide an umbrella for people sitting under it to avoid the hot sun.

From the park on this floor, Calista can see the beach from a distance, vehicles back and forth on the highway, as well as tourists who are busy walking.

Calista took her cell phone but there were no more calls or messages from Darren. Maybe he's tired. Ah, I don't care. I want to be alone here first. The light breeze and a full stomach made Calista's eyes slowly close due to sleepiness.

Unknowingly, Calista fell asleep while sitting with her head leaning on the roof support pole that was connected to the chair.

Meanwhile elsewhere, after Calista's leaving, Darren left Britney alone in a restaurant. Her screams didn't stop Darren from leaving her. The impulsive man was driving his car in a hurry.

Calista has never been to Bali and she doesn't know anyone here. Darren was worried that innocent girls like her would meet bad guys and fall into his trap

"DAMN! Why doesn't she answer my calls and reply to my messages!" Darren hit the steering wheel spontaneously causing a sudden honking sound.

"Where's that girl?" Darren began to think hard. His memory points to his mother. Darren also called Sara to inquire about the whereabouts of his wife.
