154 Freya’s Current Condition

Kalea was completely abandoned by Arthur again. The bed was only occupied by herself. However, this time Kalea was not going to look for Arthur like yesterday. And just like Arthur said, she would have fun spending that annoying man’s money.

Kalea was also getting ready. Today she would look very beautiful and elegant. As if not to be outdone, she might accidentally bump into Arthur, who was holding another woman. Kalea also spent quite a long time finishing bathing to make up.

And when everything was ready, Kalea’s cell phone rang. A name was listed there, and Kalea quickly picked it up. 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝙚ｗ𝚎𝐛𝙣𝐨𝙫𝘦𝗹.c૦m

“Hello?”

[Hello, good afternoon, Miss. Lovaata. We’re from Health Haven Psychiatric Hospital.]

“Yes, what is it? Is it about my mother?”

[Yes, Miss. We wanted to let you know that it is currently on probation for Mrs. Lovaata to meet with you. Are you available?”]

“Of course! When can I see my mother?”

[You are welcome to meet today or next week.]

.....

“Then today, I’ll be there today.”

After the conversation ended, Kalea quickly set off for the psychiatric hospital. She did not have much time because she had to adjust to the visiting hours that had become the rules of the place. She forgot what was previously planned, the most important thing right now was her meeting with her mother after the suicide attempt incident.

Kalea drove a little faster than usual, but she stayed focused on driving until she finally arrived at the mental hospital in fifteen minutes. Kalea got out of her car, and before that, she changed into a more modest outfit. Because Kalea could not possibly meet Freya looking too glamorous.

Her long legs strutted confidently towards the reception. “Good morning, I’m Kalea Orlin Lovaata, and I’m here to see a patient named Freya Lovaata.” fr𝚎e𝙬𝚎𝚋𝚗૦ν𝚎𝒍.c૦m

“Good afternoon, Miss. Lovaata. Nurse Aida is waiting for you. Please come this way,” the reception staff got up from the chair and led Kalea to one of the nurses’ desks. There were several nurses working there.

The nurse, whose name seemed to be Aida, approached Kalea and the staffer. The nurse smiled slightly before the female staff finally excused herself to go back to work.

“Miss Lovaata, right?” Aida asked again.

“That’s right. Did you call me earlier?”

“Yes, Miss. Then let’s go to the patient’s room,” nurse Aida invited. They walked hand in hand down the corridor, which was quite crowded with various people. There were patients passing by, people shouting, and so on.

This was the first time Kalea had set foot in a psychiatric hospital because when her mother was admitted to this hospital, Arthur had forbidden Kalea to come along. Kalea had a therapy consultation at a regular hospital that had the best psychiatrist in the city.

“Um, nurse Aida. Is my mother’s health condition much better than before?” Kalea asked to break the silence between them.

“Yes, she’s already better. We’re trying our best to get Mrs. Lovaata to accept everything that has happened,” Aida replied with a very friendly smile.

Kalea was relieved, this hospital must have treated her mother very well. “It must have been very difficult, huh.”

“That’s our job, Miss. We love doing it and take pride when the patients slowly recover.”

The closer she got to Freya’s whereabouts, the faster Kalea’s heartbeat. She wondered how her mother was doing now, hoping Freya had recovered and was as happy to see her as Kalea was happy to see her mother.

Aida began to open one of the rooms where Freya was being treated. As Kalea’s eyes heated up with tears, her hazel eyes saw her mother talking with a woman who looked to be around Freya’s age. Kalea is happy because Freya can finally mingle with others, and she can see her mother’s beautiful smile again. After all these years, Freya had never smiled so sincerely.

She misses her mother so much.

Kalea’s feet feel frozen; it is hard to walk into the room. She only watched as Aida began to greet the two women cordially. Until finally, the eyes of the child and the mother met.

“Miss. Lovaata, please come in. I’ll give you two some time,” Aida said in a soft, soothing tone of voice. Kalea, as if hypnotized, slowly walked over to her mother, who had become silent after realizing her presence.

Nurse Aida and Freya’s friend left the room, giving the mother-daughter duo time to communicate after a long absence.

Silence, the room was instantly quiet. Kalea smiles stiffly and sits beside Freya, who has not said a word yet, only watching Kalea until her daughter sits up.

“Mom, hi. Long time no see,” Kalea greeted very stiffly. As if she was talking to a stranger, all the words she wanted to say to Freya were instantly lost somewhere.

Kalea’s vision rounded perfectly when she saw her mother’s eyes glaze over, and she could not hold back the tears. Freya burst into tears and hugged her daughter’s body.

“I’m sorry for everything I’ve done so far. I’m sorry, Kalea. You’ve suffered so much because of me,” she said, between sobs that sounded even sadder.

Kalea, who had been holding back tears of joy, now burst into tears. She returned her mother’s hug tightly, channeling the longing that had been difficult to express because her relationship with Freya was not good. Freya continued to apologize, and Kalea’s chest ached even more because of Freya’s attitude. She did not even expect their meeting to be so touching.

“Mom, it’s okay. I’m so happy that you’re better than before. I’m okay, Mom. Don’t keep apologizing, okay?” Kalea replied, slowly releasing the hug and wiping Freya’s tears that had not stopped. In fact, her face was now a mess, red eyes with tear-soaked cheeks.

“I’m sorry,” Freya said softly, cupping Kalea’s cheeks and looking at the child she had always despised because of her ex-husband’s disgrace.

She realized that everything she did to her child was a fatal mistake.

Kalea was not wrong, Kalea was just a child who lost the love of her parents in an instant. She has to support herself and a mother who has drastically changed how she treats her very harshly.

Freya’s guilt intensified, she hugged her only child who was still standing up to her. She is very grateful that the child she has is Kalea.

Until finally, the sobs subsided and the two of them could calm down and talk casually. Kalea asked how her mother’s daily life was, and Freya answered enthusiastically. The happiness in Kalea’s heart was even more overwhelming, seeing her mother’s condition had completely changed. Kalea seemed to see her mother when the catastrophe had not yet come.

“Mom, you still want to live with me, right? Let’s live together again, I’ll cook a lot of your favorite food!” Kalea exclaimed, smiling broadly with excitement.

Kalea was a little confused when Freya looked reluctant and shook her head. “Live together in that house?”

“Um, you don’t want to live in that house anymore?” Kalea asked.

“No! I don’t want to! I want to stay here with my friends. It’s okay if you leave me here, Lea,” Freya said, flatly rejecting her daughter’s invitation.

Kalea was dumbfounded. Of course, something like that could not happen. “Mom, there’s no way you can stay here forever, right? This is a hospital, Mom ....,” Kalea softly pleaded with Freya not to be stubborn.

“Then send me to the nursing home. I don’t want to trouble you anymore. You’ve suffered because of me for so many years, it would be shameless of me to still live with you.”

“Mom... I never thought of it that way at all! Don’t talk like that, Mom. Come live with me again. I only have you in this world...,” Kalea pleaded pleadingly as she took her mother’s hand and kissed it lovingly.

Freya, however, kept shaking her head. Unwilling to return to that house again and trouble her only child, Kalea once said she would sell the house and look for a home that was farther away and more comfortable than the first.

Until finally, the visiting hours were over. Nurse Aida came back and asked permission to take Kalea away. The mother and daughter hugged again as a farewell for the day. Kalea was still very homesick, there was still a lot she wanted to talk to Freya about.

As Kalea watched her mother’s interaction with the nurse, she was grateful that, thanks to all the people in this hospital, her mother seemed to have been reborn into a better person.

“Come, Miss. Lovaata,” Aida invited after finishing talking to Freya. Kalea just nodded and waved goodbye to her mother before leaving.

“Miss, everything went well, right?” asked Aida a little anxiously.

“Hm? Yeah, I didn’t expect to be able to talk to Mom. She’s really changed. I’m very grateful for all your hard work,” Kalea replied politely and sincerely from the heart.

Nurse Aida only smiled faintly, and slowly the smile faded. The look on her face was difficult to interpret, leaving Kalea wondering. “What’s wrong? Did something happen earlier to my mother?”

“We were all very relieved to be able to see Mrs. Lovaata’s condition slowly improve. Because before, your mother’s mental state was really bad. She had even harmed herself several times. That’s why it took longer than other patients.”
