Celine And Her Arrogant Husband
Episode 42 - I'm Disappointed, Ra

Last afternoon, precisely at five in the afternoon, Keira who was about to enter the meeting room got a call from Danu five times. At first he was reluctant to accept, because he was still in a working state. However, because Danu never gave up on contacting him, he was finally forced to accept a call from the man.

“Halo, Danu,” greet Keira at the time.

“Ra, is Celine there with you? Or maybe you saw her as her husband?” said Danu from a distance that Keira did not know where the place was.

“No, Nu, I have a meeting at once overtime and Reksa will take the lead. So, there's no way Celine's with him right now. Why?”

“Gosh ... Ra, I made a mistake. Celine came out of the study after meeting my boss, and she was in tears. He was angry with me, for he thought that I was interfering too much in his affairs. In addition, all my efforts for him turned out not to help him at all, but it made it even more sad.”

Keira heard it. “Ce-celine? How can??”

“It's my fault, Ra. I was too ambitious with regards to Celine. I'm worried, I've never seen Celine like that. He was disappointed, I was worried about him. And ... I also had time to say that I know about her marriage to Reksa.”

“A-what?!” Keira was shocked, because she did not think that Danu would bring up such a sensitive thing. “Why did you tell him, Danu?! Said you wanted to back off, ‘kan? And he said you have other plans, ‘kan?! Ouch! She must have known that I was the one spreading the reason behind the marriage. How's this, Danu? Celine must be very disappointed because I have betrayed her, because only I know about the condition of her household at once who knows you.”

“Ra, I'm sorry. I—“

Danu's voice was then cut off by Keira's attitude that immediately turned off the phone connection. Fretful and guilty struck Keira's heart, but what a force, he could not leave his office. There were overtime and important meetings this afternoon and Reksa stressed that he and his teammates could attend. Keira had no other choice, gradually contacting Celine. However, until nightfall, Celine did not give any response.

Now, Keira who had been agitated, was sitting in front of Celine, set in the shop of her best friend's parents. Through Mutual-lah, Keira knew that Celine was in the tavern. Just a moment ago, he ventured to ask Mutual, or ask permission for Mutual to meet him with Celine who still did not want to reply to messages from him, he said, because he himself did not know where Mutual and Celine lived post-marriage.

“Why did you come here, Ra? Did Mutual tell you that I was here? The two of you came together, although riding a different car,” said Celine who remembered the arrival of Reksa five minutes later followed by Keira. While he is with Keira, Muta is at another table and chatting with Rodian and Kenny.

Keira swallows saliva. Unlike usual, the atmosphere of togetherness with Celine this time felt awkward and stressful. If Celine had been sensitive, maybe Celine had known that she was the perpetrator of the marriage secret.

“Cel, I ... mm, why didn't you answer my call?” search Keira, mince words before expressing his apology.

Celine took a breath. There was no evil look on his face that was always as bright as the moonlight. He was upset, even though he considered himself the saddest because he only knew a few things. “I ... was again coffee with Kenny, Ra,” he replied afterwards.

“But, you can send a message to Reksa, ‘kan? And tell him that you're here?”

“And I'm your friend, Cel.”

“True, you're my best friend, Ra. Since a long time ago, since we were teenagers, we even had the same dream to surround the world. But, Ra, I .. was just someone so pathetic, who should not have to follow you all the time. You are smart, beautiful and well educated. Your attitude is very good, very different when compared to me who often make you embarrassed.”

Keira gradually grabbed Celine's fingers, then gave her a grip. “Why do you talk like that?”

“Because it's a reality. It's time you let me take care of my own problems, Keira. Moreover, I have become a wife. Even though I am Celine who is stupid and poor, .. you should know that I am not Celine to be pitied.” Celine shed her tears. “See, Ra, my stomach is distended. It shows that I can still eat well. I've been the wife of a super rich man. Which, has proven that I can surpass you, Ra. After all, my marriage wasn't that bad. Until you and Danu pitied me so much and planned to save me from Mutual.”

“Cel? I'm sorry, Cel. I am guilty.”

Celine shook her head slowly. “No, Keira. It is true that I was disappointed after hearing Danu's confession which turned out to know how my marriage with Reksa happened, he also knew if Mutual had a bad character. And what disappointed me the most was my own guess that said maybe Keira was the one who told him.”

“Celine, please ..?”

“I was wondering. Wh why? Why is Keira so brave? Wh-wh-what for? Why does Keira say privacy to others, who clearly do not need to know all that? Maybe Keira was really worried about me, maybe Danu was too. But Keira's attitude embarrassed me. I was ashamed of Danu, a man I had rejected outright, but he found out that my marriage was not happy. I'm ashamed, Keira.”

“I'm sorry, Cel, I'm really sorry.”

Keira could not stem the tears that had been urged to be issued. He who has known Celine for many years, only this time saw Celine as disappointed as this time. If Keira was in Celine's position, perhaps she would also be very angry and embarrassed. However, could Keira who was always praised as a smart woman actually act so stupid? Why did Keira who was so trusted even spread a secret? How is Keira different from Katty?

“Better,” says Celine took the vote again. “We don't see each other for some time, Ra. You are not guilty, it is I who thank you because maybe you are so worried about me. But, for now only, give me some time to get some more peace of heart. You believe, ‘kan, that Celine at most can not keep disappointed for too long? When I am relieved, I will come to see you again, talk to you about many things, especially about our travel plans later. Don't worry anymore, my married life with Reksa wasn't as bad as it was at the time. In fact, we've become really a husband-wife pair.”

“Cel? Uh ...” Keira clutched her head. It feels like he refused Celine's request, but he still must know that he is currently in a position as a guilty person. “Good. I hope you forgive me and see me soon. No, but call me if you're relieved, then I'll come for you, Celine.”

Celine nodded her head, then just kept quiet. He doesn't want to talk about anything anymore for now. And not long after, Keira got up from her seat, then decided to leave immediately. He paid tribute to Kenny, Rodian, and also Mutual. Unfortunately, Deswita was returning home, looking for an opportunity when her two children came.
