Gara and Wina didn't expect that Satyo had planned everything in just one night. The man was cunning and dangerous.
As soon as they arrived, Wina went straight to her room, changed clothes, and grabbed her cloth satchel.
"I'm going to town to speak with the village chief," she said, her expression resolute.
This time, Gara didn't insist on coming. It was far too risky for him to stay outside for too long outside. Besides, Wina's expression wasn't one that could be swayed.
"Be careful, Mom. If the village chief isn't at the clinic, just come straight home. It's not just my safety at risk anymore, it's yours too."
Wina nodded. Her serious expression softened slightly as she looked at her son's face. Her gaze dropped to his belly. "I'll be fine. I still have to see my grandchild born."
With those words, Wina stepped out, her stride fearless and determined.
But Gara's heart clenched. A sense of dread twisted in his chest.
And he wasn't wrong to feel it.
