99 Love for You
The Sins of the Past

A few days later

Radit searches for Cecil's whereabouts. In the office he could not find the figure of Cecil. Not even in the room. Usually every morning they always meet and chat at the cafe.

Radit started to panic. He was afraid something might happen to Cecil.

He asked her here and there, to everyone she met. But no one gave an answer.

And nadine!! Suddenly he remembered Nadine.

No way!!! Don't-don't Nadine do something to Cecil!! Shit man!!! I have to find Cecil before Nadine does anything reckless to him.

Radit raced through every room in Aj Foods' office.

...***...

Meanwhile, Nadine meets Cecil and invites him to talk together.

"Wait a minute, Nad!! Where are we going?" cecil asked with his wrist firmly gripped by Nadine's hand.

"You better not ask too many questions!!! Come with me!!!"

Nadine took Cecil to the balcony upstairs of the building. Nadine drags Cecil and pushes him. Luckily Cecil didn't fall.

But a little bit of pain.

"What's up, Nad? Why did you bring me here?"

"I should have asked you! Why do I have to see you again, huh? Why do you always take what I have? Why, Cil?"

"What do you mean, Nad?"

"You don't have to pretend you don't know anything. I've known since I first met you again. All this is gonna happen. Just like before. You never change, Cecil. You always took my happiness!" Nadine's eyes turned red, angry and also sad.

"What are you talking about? I don't get it. I knew I had something wrong with you, but I always tried to explain it to you. And you never want to hear from me."

"I don't need an explanation from you. Everything is clear! You took Ricky from me. And even now, you want to take Rangga from me!" Nadine yells.

"Captured Mr Rangga? That's impossible, Nad!"

"I ask you, stay away from Rangga!!! Never go near it! I know there's something strange between you and Rangga. I can feel that! Suddenly, a lot changed. And it must be because of you!!"

"Why can you say that? Mr. Rangga and I have always been professional at work. It never crossed my mind to do anything with him. I'm married, Nad. There's no way I'm betraying my husband."

"Enough, Cil. I don't want to hear anything from your mouth! I hate you, Cecilia!! I hate you!!!"

Cecilia just kept quiet hearing all of Nadine's anger. Nadine, whom he knew as his best friend, now considers him an enemy. For years they did not meet. But when they meet again, things don't improve.

After venting his frustration, Nadine fell silent. Empty look. Cecil. Cecil was eager to hug her, but reluctant to do so for fear of Nadine getting angry.

"Do you know how long I've been waiting for Rangga?" Suddenly Nadine spoke again.

"It's been a long time. I waited for him for twelve years. I waited for Rangga to twelve years!!!" Nadine screamed again. Then sit down.

Cecil followed Nadine who sat down. There were small grains flowing down his cheeks. Nadine crying.

And only then did Cecil see Nadine crying bitterly.

"Maybe you can call me insane. But I'll never back down, until I get what I want."

Cecil was confused as to what to say. For years without seeing each other, and then suddenly the Nadine he knew turned into an obsessive woman like this.

"I also learned to make cakes. Because I know he owns the food company. But do you know what he said? He said he didn't like my cake. And he threw it away." Nadine's crying became more and more.

Cecil stroked Nadine's shoulder.

And for a moment he remembered what happened a few years ago. When he was in college in New York.

At that time, he met Nadine. He met Nadine who was crying sitting down like this. And around him fell some chocolate cakes that are round in shape. Cecil approached her, but Nadine flinched. He just looked at the man who had gone behind him.

Cecil pick up one by one chocolate cake scattered. And give it back to Nadine. But Nadine left him.

"Your chocolate cake is so good, Nad."

Nadine looked at Cecil in surprise.

"And I don't think you should waste your cake just because of a man."

"What did you say? You even remember that embarrassing incident?" Nadine turned her face.

"Yes, I still remember it. So, the man who left you back then was-Pak Rangga?"

Nadine turned around and looked at Cecil intently.

"Nad, if that person is Mr. Rangga, you shouldn't be sad like this. You're a great woman. You shouldn't have waited for him for years. She-she doesn't deserve you to wait."

Cecil's sentence was able to strike Nadine's heart, and made her only speechless. Between shame and sadness, because it turns out Cecil still remembers the incident.

"Nad-Don't grieve. And-once again I'm sorry. I want us to be like we used to be."

"Shut up!!! You know nothing about me!!! It's none of your business I want to wait for Rangga or not. And one more thing, we're not going to be like we used to be. I won't forgive you if the past happens again. Remember that Cecilia!!!" Nadine stood up and hurried away leaving Cecil alone.

Radit who had been looking for the whereabouts of Cecilia finally managed to get to the roof of the building with the help of one of the office boys who said that he saw Cecil and Nadine go to the roof of the building.

Radit runs into Nadine as she heads to the roof of the building. Radit ignored Nadine and soon found Cecil who was still sitting.

"Cyl? are you okay??" radit panicked and immediately helped Cecil stand up. "Nadine didn't do anything to you, did she?"

Cecil just shook his head.

Radit helps Cecil walk by hugging his shoulder. "Let's get out of here, Cil! The wind here is very strong. You'll be sick if you stay here too long."
