99 Love for You
99CU(S2): Redeeming Sin (3)

...💟💟💟...

A few days later, Cecil gets a message from Jimmy. An invitation to come to the shop. Cecil was hesitant whether to come or not. He asked Ishmael for his opinion.

"I'll accompany you. We will come there" replied Ismail seriously.

Cecilia could only reply with a smile. Ishmael is a good man. A good friend. Think Cecilia.

That night was a surprise for Cecil. Because it turns out that Jimmy's boutique has been turned into Ivana's boutique.

The front view of the store has changed. There's no Jimmy Choo anymore. The one on the board is Ivana Lee Boutique.

Cecilia looked around as she was about to enter the boutique. All the officers are still the same. Even Lollypun was there.

Cecil meets the eyes of Ivana's mother, Nia's mother, who immediately comes to Cecil.

"Congratulations, Mom..." Cecil extended his hand to shake hands.

"Thank you very much. Ivana's wish was finally realized." Nia's mother shed tears.

"No, Ma. It all belongs to Ivana. He should have owned this shop."

Then Cecilia said goodbye. He didn't want to stay there for long. The memory of Ivana still lingers in his mind.

As he was leaving the store, he got a message on his phone. From Jimmy.

"I'm sorry, Cil. All this time I betrayed you. Now, everyone has returned to their rightful place. So I hope you can be happier too. Don't blame yourself anymore. I'm saying goodbye, Cil. I'm going to go where I belong. This is all I can do to atone for my sin on Ivana. I'll learn about life and how to appreciate life. Thank you for making me realize my mistake all along. See you on another occasion if God still reunites us. Take good care of yourself. Jimmy Choo."

Cecilia's already dry tears are now breaking down rapidly again. His body staggered and almost fell. Ishmael caught him immediately. Her chest is getting tighter.

There were footsteps of someone approaching. Cecilia raised her head to see who was approaching her.

It was Alvian. His face was sad. There was a tinge of regret in his dense eyeballs.

"So you're back..." Alvian said slowly.

This was their first meeting after everything happened between them and their friends.

"Act ... I'm sorry..." Alvian's approaching. But Cecil stepped back.

"What other lies are you hiding, Mom?" cecilia's tears were breaking.

"I'm sorry if it ends up being like this ..." Alvian came closer. And Cecil avoided it.

Ishmael tells Alvian not to step near Cecilia.

"Let's go home, Cil.." take Ismail. Cecilia nodded. And Alvian just looked at Cecil's departure.

In the car, Cecil was crying. He hit his chest. Ismail was confused as to what to say.

"What do you feel now, Cil?" ask Ishmael carefully.

Cecilia did not answer, and continued to cry.

"Are you disappointed?"

Cecilia nodded.

"You're saddened to be let down by Jimmy, or by Alvian?"

Instantly Cecilia fell silent and stopped her crying.

Ismail did not need an answer. Because from the look in his eyes, he knew what Cecil was feeling. Cecilia feels betrayed by Alvian.

"I know even if you don't answer. In your heart, there's about a few percent of the place for Alvian. Then a few percent of it belongs to Rangga. I know that from the look in your eyes. And me? How many percent of me in your heart?"

Say Ismail in your heart while continuing to drive a car to the house.

...***...

The next day, Cecilia visits Ivana's grave. It turns out that it was preceded by someone.

"Mas Alvian?" The owner of the name turned to the voice that called out to him.

This time Cecil did not avoid Alvian.

"Little? You came here too?"

Cecilia nodded.

"Now he's calm, Mommy. He has achieved his dream. Then, what did you come here for?"

"I just want to visit him. All this time, I've been guilty of her. And I want to apologize. Although it's too late..."

The regretful face laid a wreath on Ivana's grave.

"You guys here?"

A voice shocked Alvian and Cecil. That was Nia's mother.

"thank you. You have fulfilled my daughter's wish. From now on, you don't have to blame yourself anymore. I hope you can fix each of your lives. I've forgiven you..."

Cecilia hugged Nia's mother, and thanked her.

Cecilia headed to her mother's bakery after Ivana's grave. His footsteps came to a halt when he saw someone waiting for him in front of the store.

"Hendi? What are you doing here?" Yanya Cecil ketus.

He knew Hendi was a confidant of Pak Adi Jaya. His arrival here, must have something to do with Mr. President.

"Can I talk to you for a second, Cil?"

"alright. But I decide the place" replied Cecil firmly.

Cecilia headed to a cafe a bit away from her mother's shop. He did not want his mother to worry because he met the confidant of Mr. President.

They sit facing each other. Actually Cecil was very curious whether Hendi came to Indonesia with Pak Adi or not.

But he kept the question in his heart. Sooner or later Mr. Adi will definitely find out about his return to this city.

"What's it gonna take to find me?" Ask Cecil without a stale ado.

"There's something I want to tell you. Message from the President." Hendi replied no less cold.

"What message?"

"Didn't you promise not to come back? Why did you break your promise?"

It's predictable. Hendi would definitely say about that. Inner Cecilia.

"I never promised if I wouldn't come back here. I just said that I was leaving Rangga. And I've kept that promise" replied Cecil coldly.

"But you can meet again if you're still in town."

"You just calm down. That's not gonna happen. I won't see Rangga, or vice versa. Although Rangga was looking for me, I will not meet him. Please tell Mr. President, that I have kept my promise to leave Rangga. So then... I hope Mr. President also keeps his promise not to touch the people I care about. I will not stay silent if Mr. President does something to the people closest to me. Do you understand?!"

After gathering great courage to say what she wanted to say, Cecilia left Hendi still stunned at her courage.

"Well, where'd he get the courage to talk like that?" muttered Hendi with his cynical smile.

Cecilia stepped out of the cafe with trembling legs. He himself did not know what made him so bold to say such a thing to Hendi.

"Yes Allah... What did I tell you? I did not expect that I would be that brave." muttered Cecil by squeezing his ice-cold hand against Hendi.
