Finished cleaning the stain Lara returned to the park bench where Miranda was waiting for her.
"It's clean?" Mira.
"Where are we going now?" Ask Lara.
"How about we just go home?"
"Um— if you want it so yasudah," said Lara who actually does not want to return. Because for Lara if she comes back home she will definitely be lonely at home.
"Try you to call your husband to ask him to pick you up."
Instantly Lara was instantly made stunned to hear Mira suddenly speak so.
"Why do you shut up, you usually like to call your husband the most. Let's call him quickly, " urged Miranda.
"That— "Lara's lips feel muddled, as if unable to say anything at this time.
"If you ask Vander to come pick you up, he'll come, won't he?"
"Miranda—" Lara who was bowed bitterly, she bit her lips while clenching her hands on her lap to hold back her cries that began unstoppable.
While Mira even continues to shower Lara with all the words related to her husband who until now is not clear where her whereabouts. Lara herself is afraid to say that Vander has left, she cannot hear anyone else say that she has been abandoned by her husband. Lara did not want to be considered a poor woman who was shown.
"Well!" Mira squealed in annoyance. "Lara you really why the hell? Answer me don't shut up, what's going on between you and Vander!?" Mira's emotions run high, and Lara's cries break in front of Mira.
"Lara there really is?" Mira said with a soft tone.
While sobbing Lara hugged Miranda and said, "Mira Vander-Vander is gone hu..." Lara's sobbing peaked after saying this, as if the heavy burden she had endured all this time could finally be spilled.
Miranda still does not understand Lara's intentions but she does not want to force him to talk and instead chooses to let her cry until relieved.
After being satisfied crying hard, Lara who already felt stable enough emotions in the end told Miranda that in fact, Vander had not come home for two weeks and no contact at all.
"That jerk!" Mira clenched her hands feeling furious. "Why didn't you tell me from yesterday!"
Lara just smiled in the words "I'm afraid of Mira, I'm afraid that if anyone finds out, you'll think that Vander has shown me, I don't want that to happen Mira, I don't want that to happen, I don't want people to see me that way..." Lara's tears are back.
"But the truth is he did leave you, didn't he?"
"I don't know why he left either. Is it because I'm a bad wife that's why she's gone? Mira, what exactly was my fault? If I'm wrong I'll fix it, but I don't know what's wrong with me to make him leave me? Tell me Mira..." Lara was crying blaming herself.
Hearing Lara blaming herself made Mira's mind angry. "No Lara, it's not your fault! You're completely innocent, that baj¡ngan is to blame. You're a good woman even you're almost perfect as a woman, that's the only man who doesn't know himself!" Miranda was really furious at this moment on Vander. He really did not expect Vander who he thought could take care of Lara, in fact even did this much. Miranda feels guilty for supporting her relationship with that jerk Vander. How can a husband leave his wife who is pregnant with his child. That's not appropriate for Lara.
"If I had realized my pregnancy was faster, maybe Vander wouldn't have left, he would have been here with me. Heh, I'm a stupid wife indeed," said Lara blames herself again.
"Once, please stop blaming yourself and what happened. It's not your fault, it's not your fault Lara. Baj¡ngan that in fact does not deserve a woman as good as you." Mira hugs Lara who is now crying.

Day after day, it had been over a month since Lara accepted the fact that her husband had indeed left her. Although heavy, Lara must still live her life as well as possible, because no matter what time there is another life that she carries in her womb.
"Halo Gavin, you can pick me up at the hospital later, please" Lara said by phone.
...
Lara turned off her phone and walked back through the hospital corridor. Dressed in a knee-length dress whose waist was slightly loose, the woman walked towards the room of Dr. Ilana for control of the womb.
Upon arrival in the waiting room Lara immediately sat down and waited for her turn to be checked. While waiting for her to be called in, Lara also busied herself by reading a book about the health of mother and baby.
While busy reading, suddenly there was a woman who was also a big pregnant sitting next to Lara accompanied by her partner. Instantly Lara immediately saw the situation around her, her beautiful face immediately turned sad to see the women who came to check the womb were all accompanied by their partner, while she was the only one who came alone. Honest in the depths of her heart, Lara felt envious, sad, and also disappointed to see her current state. It was like giving up on the situation, but it was impossible, because somehow he wanted to stay strong for the sake of the child in his stomach.
"Miss Lara Hazel, please come in!" The nurse called his name. Lara rushed into the doctor's office for control.
Inside he did a USG check because the content of Lara has entered the 13th week where the 2nd trimester phase of her child's shape has grown. Lara looks smiling looking at the growth and development of her baby on the monitor screen, the doctor said Lara's baby is very healthy and the development is very good.
"You seem to be keeping your diet very well" the doctor said.
Yes, since Lara decided to focus on maintaining her pregnancy she was very concerned about the intake and nutrients she consumed.
After doing various examination procedures, the doctor only advises Lara to continue to maintain health and not be too stressed.
While waiting for the examiner's record to be signed, doctor Ilana suddenly asked, "Son, if I may I know where the father of your baby is? I'm sorry if I'm so presumptuous, but I've noticed that you're always alone here a few times."
"Um— my husband.., he-he's out of town business so can't take me," explained Lara forced to lie because she doesn't want people to think that her son doesn't have a father.
"Oh so. Yasudah, I'm sorry for my straight question."
"Yes, doctor, if you'll excuse me."
After finishing the examination of the womb, Lara immediately headed out of the hospital was there where Gavin came to pick her up.
"Sister is done? How did the doctor say," asked Gavin curiously.
"Later on the road I explain."
While driving Gavin asked again about the condition of baby Lara. Lara then explains that the baby is healthy and growing well.
"Oh yes Gavin can you take me to my family's meal? All of a sudden I want to make a pilgrimage to their tomb."
"Good,"
Upon arrival at the funeral, Lara immediately buys flowers to take to eat both her parents and grandparents. While Lara is on a pilgrimage, Gavin waits in the car.
Upon her family's arrival, Lara cleaned the tombs and placed the flowers on the tomb, and then prayed for her family.
"Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Grandma, today I've seen my future son grow up. I'm here to let you know that your grandchildren and great-grandchildren are perfectly healthy."
After finishing the pilgrimage Lara left the tomb, but when she was about to walk away suddenly there was a male voice heard calling her name from behind.
"Without?"
The woman stopped and immediately turned her body back to make sure who the man who just called her was.
