Besides, Elise is young and beautiful. Even though she will have the status of a widow, Diana is sure there are still many young men who are attracted to Elise.
"Thanks Diana. You're Brian's friend, but I'm glad you wanted to be friends with me too." Elise's eyes radiated a sense of sincerity and joy. She is grateful to have a friend like Diana.
"Of course, I'm happy to be friends with you. If you need help don't hesitate to contact me."
"Yes, thank you." Elise smiled at Diana.
"So when are you going to divorce Brian?" asked Diana curiously.
"Tonight I'm going to talk to Brian."
"Yes, I hope you can divorce Brian as soon as possible."
"What do you mean?" Elise asked with a frown.
"In two months I will go to country A to continue my studies. And I plan to invite you to go together. You can start your new life in country A. You can also continue your fashion design studies."
Elise fell silent. She couldn't believe Diana would say that. The woman intends to invite her to go abroad to start a new life.
"What do you think? You want to come with me?" Take Diana.
Elise thought about it. She has decided to divorce Brian. So she had to start a new life. And stay away from Brian so she can forget her feelings for him. Looks like Diana's offer is very good. By going abroad, Elise can start a new life, continue her studies and forget her feelings for Brian.
"Yes, I'll come with you."
"If so, you need to speed up your divorce process from Brian." Said Diana enthusiastically. She was glad that Elise wanted to go abroad with her. That way she has friends when she is in country A later.
"Yes, I'll be right away. And remember to book my plane tickets."
"Yes, of course." answered Diana with a big smile.
Suddenly a ring tone was heard to stop their chat. The cellphone ring that came from Elise's bag. The young woman immediately took out her cellphone and saw Brian's number as a caller.
"Hello," answered Elise.
"Where are you?" Brian's voice came faintly over Elise's speakerphone.
"I'm out buying something." Elise glanced at Diana. She did hide her meeting with Diana from Brian. And it just so happened that she went out to buy Dean's diapers too.
"Go home right now. There are people from the police coming to see you."
Brian's words made Elise frown deeply. The police are looking for her. What do they need? Why did the police come to a mansion to meet her? Is it possible .....
"Elise," Called Brian because he didn't get Elise's answer.
"Yes, I'm home right now." After that Elise hung up Brian's call.
"What is wrong?" Diana asked anxiously at Elise. She also hears Brian's voice telling police people.
"I'm not sure either. I have to go home soon. I'll call you back later." After saying that, Elise got up, took her groceries containing Dean's diapers and left the cafe.
.....
When Elise arrived at the mansion, there were already two men sitting in the living room with Brian. Elise greeted Brian and the two of them before taking a seat next to Brian.
"Good afternoon madam, we are from the police. My name is Erick and my partner David. We are in charge of investigating the accident case of Mrs. Rena." Said the man named Erick. A tall man with a slight mustache on his masculine face. And Elise also looks at his partner named David, a man with black skin who is much thinner than Erick.
"Yes." Elise nodded. Hearing Erick's words, Elise thought back to the fateful incident.
"We have come to ask for information from Mrs. Elise as a witness and victim who was at the scene when the accident occurred." Elise nodded in understanding at Erick's words.
"So Madame, can you tell me how it happened?" Asked David who was ready with a voice recorder on his cellphone and a small notebook in his hand.
Elise glanced at Brian for a moment before starting to speak.
"That day, Mommy and I went shopping for Dean's clothes and necessities. During the day, we had lunch at the restaurant in front of the mall. And after eating we planned to go home." Elise was silent for a moment. She seemed difficult to say the details of the incident. Because the image of Rena's body lying covered in blood really made her guilty and sad.
"At that time, I was waiting for Mommy who was going to the toilet on the side of the road. I was thinking about something and did not realize the car was speeding towards me. When I realized it, the car was close to me, and in an instant Mommy pushed my body, until I fell out of the way of the car. But Mommy was late in avoiding, she ended up being hit by the car. " Elise's voice trembled at the end of her words as she remembered all the events.
"Mommy was injured quite badly, and I approached her. At that time, Mommy was conscious for a while before losing consciousness. Then an ambulance came to take me and Mommy to the hospital." Elise fell silent after finishing her explanation. She stared at the two policemen in front of her.
"Did you see the car that hit the perpetrator?" asked Erick.
Elise frowned slightly, she tried to think back to that time.
"Van Car is black."
"Did you see the license plate of the car?"
"No, I didn't see it then."
"Did you see the perpetrator?" David asked the question.
"No, the van's glass is very dark. So I can't see the face of the culprit behind the wheel."
David glanced at Erick. It seems that this case is quite difficult to find the perpetrator.
"Was the mistress at that time crossing the road or standing on the side of the road?"
