BXBX NOVEL Chapter 103 - Moving Again
"Mother, don\'t listen to this woman!" Lisa said as she hurriedly pushed Clara out of the door.
Lisa didn\'t think that the demonic woman would approach her. For a moment, Lisa thought that running into Clara was a destiny she couldn\'t escape from as long as she was still alive.
The demonic woman pushed Lisa back until she staggered. She adjusted her white blazer and gave Lisa a condescending look. Clara leaned towards Kumala and said, "So you don\'t know that your daughter is divorced? My name is Clara Gunawan, I\'m Oscar\'s real fiancée!"
"What? Lisa is divorced?!" Kumala was stunned by Clara\'s words. The middle aged woman lowered her head and was unable to continue her sentence.
"Mom, don\'t listen to this woman. She is a demon with an angelic face!" Lisa exclaimed irritably.
Kumala looked at her daughter with a grim expression and disbelief. "Do you have the heart to lie to your old mother, Lisa?"
"It\'s not like that, mom please listen to me first. This is all because she barged into people\'s apartments! Clara you bastard!" Lisa pointed her index finger right in front of Clara\'s sharp nose.
The more Lisa stared at Clara\'s sly expression, the more annoyed she became.
"If you have a problem with me, we will solve it outside! You don\'t have to take my mother into this personal matter!"
"What for? Your mother should know anyway. I am here to take what should be mine. This is my apartment!" Clara answered with a triumphant smile.
"Lisa, is it true that you divorced Oscar?" Kumala asked behind Lisa. The face of the middle-aged woman looked troubled and sad, as if she had lost her eldest daughter\'s life.
Seeing her mother starting to worry made Lisa\'s heart unable to hide the truth any longer. She then spoke up, "Mom, I apologize for lying. Lisa and Oscar divorced two days ago."
"Sooner or later, your daughter would eventually divorce Oscar. Your daughter doesn\'t deserve to be a member of the Petersson family at all. Oscar Petersson is only using your daughter to satisfy his desires. From the beginning, Lisa\'s marriage to Oscar was never serious!" Clara added the heat.
She stepped forward to be level with Lisa. "I want to take this apartment back Lisa, you know this apartment is not completely yours, right?"
"You talk too much! Shut up! This apartment still belongs to me! Go away! If you don\'t go, I\'ll call security to drag you out of this building!" Lisa shouted. Her patience almost ran out.
"You think I am afraid of threats from a lowly woman like you?"
"Do you want to try it? Okay, I\'ll call the security now." Lisa took the cell phone from her pocket and called security downstairs.
Clara\'s heart seemed to be dislodged when Lisa actually made a call to security. She was a little scared.
"Okay, you win! But remember your promise. You guys have to move out of this apartment soon. If not, I\'ll report to Oscar and he will take care of the rest!"
"Don\'t be hasty. I want to move today! So get the hell out of here!" Lisa snapped.
"I hope you do move out tomorrow!" Clara turned and stepped outside with a bright red face. She did not think she would lose face in front of a lowly woman like Lisa. Her pride fell to the bottom of a cliff!
After that demonic woman left their place, Lisa and Kumala were seen sitting alone.
Silence began to fill the living room of the apartment.
Lisa exchanged glances with her mother. She lowered her head, feeling embarrassed. She had been speechless since the secret of her divorce was exposed.
Lisa planned to tell her mother about her divorce from Oscar, but not this soon. It\'s too early for Kumala to digest that information!
But what had happened, happened.
"Mom, I\'m sorry that I lied. It\'s not like I want to hide my divorce from Oscar. It\'s just that I don\'t want to burden your mind," she said softly. Her eyes started to water.
KumaLa said nothing, the middle-aged woman walked over to her eldest daughter and then slapped her.
The slap might not hurt, but the pain turned to Lisa\'s heart, which had been shattered. She touched her flushed cheek and stared blankly at her angry mother.
"Mother, why did you slap me!?"
"You...how dare you hide your big problem from me?! Don\'t you need me anymore, Lisa?" Kumala exclaimed, her eyes were getting teary.
"But mom, Lisa doesn\'t want to make you worry because your illness will recur!"
"What kind of daughter are you? When you get pregnant out of wedlock you don\'t immediately tell your mother. Now that you are divorced from Oscar, you don\'t even tell mom at all. I don\'t understand you Lisa! Mother has raised an immoral daughter! Mother really failed to educate you!"
A cry broke the silence between the two women. Kumala knelt down and sobbed her back to Lisa. Her heart broke at the bad news.
"Mom, listen to me. I didn\'t mean to lie to you!"
"Then why did you divorce!?" The elderly woman suddenly screamed while sobbing. "Are you actually the other person between Oscar and Clara and destroying their relationship!?" Kumala pointed right at Lisa\'s nose with burning anger.
Hearing her mother\'s words made Lisa feel even more hurt. She could not accept her mother\'s accusation that she was a homewrecker.
"Mother! Clara was the culprit! She snatched Oscar from me when I was still married to him. I saw it myself, Mom! Andien is an eye witness!"
"I don\'t care, divorce is already a very bad thing! And you have defiled your surname and your own name Lisa!" Kumala snapped with teary eyes.
"Mom, you are also divorced. Why do you look down on divorced women if you have done so? Don\'t insult each other!" Lisa replied. She was no less annoyed.
Kumala fell silent. She ran out of words to reply to her eldest daughter\'s argument. Deep inside, she just didn\'t want her eldest daughter to have the same fate as her. Becoming a helpless widow who still needed financial assistance from a man. If it weren\'t for Lisa, Kumala might have been looking for another man to marry.
"I\'ve failed to educate you to be a dignified and responsible woman, Lisa. Mother is tired of you. After all, you\'re an adult, aren\' you? You don\'t need a mother anymore, of course," Kumala said as she wiped her teary eyes.
Lisa fell silent. Her tongue was tied.
"Tell mom when it\'s time to move out. I want to prepare things to move,"
***
About two days later, everything from their apartment was finally moved.
During the moving process, Lisa and her mother didn\'t speak to each other at all. The two of them kept silent as if they were in a cold war.
Bella, who just came from campus, said hello to Lisa. She hugged her older sister tightly until tears flowed from her eyes.
Lisa left some money for Bella and her mother then said goodbye.
The woman then approached her mother, wanting to say goodbye.. But her mother ignored her.
