Keira sighed for a moment after ending the video call with Celine. The anxiety he felt was still very concentrated in covering his heart. Celine is the only close friend who is already like a brother. He knew very well how difficult Celine's life had been. And how could Keira let Celine live with Muta who was already famous for being arrogant long ago?
“Ra? After talking to Celine, huh?” Danu, the man who was currently suffering from a heart wound was already visible before Keira. Actually, he had promised to have lunch with Keira. However, he is late for having to hold the job that Celine left behind. “Sorry, Ra, I'm late. Celine ... has resigned, so her job I held before there was a replacement.”
Keira smiled awkwardly, then shook her head slowly. “Nothing really, Nu. It's been a while, huh? How did you know I just talked to Celine?” he asked back.
“I've come since you said goodbye to Celine.” Danu sighed, then she gradually sat down right in front of Keira. “Mm, how's Celine, Ra?” doing
Keira felt concerned now, not only at Celine's bad luck, but also at Danu's figure. The man he knew through Celine looked sad. Keira knew about how Danu had always admired Celine all this time.
It's true, Danu never said anything about her feelings for Celine. However, because Keira's brain is too smart and sensitive, he immediately understands that Danu likes Celine. Every time he met Danu when he was about to pick up Celine, Keira continued to observe Danu's attitude and eye gaze which always implied a great love for Celine.
“By the way, why didn't you come to Celine's wedding, Nu?” search Keira.
Danu swallowed the salivary. There was an awkward smile pulling at one corner of his lips. “Nothing, Ra, a-I was busy at the time,” he replied lying, trying to cover up the fact that he was very hurt, back then, until reluctant to come to the wedding reception party Celine and Reksa.
“Already, Danu, no need to lie. Sorry, I was just talking about something. But, I know how you liked Celine a long time ago.”
Danu immediately choked on the drink she had just sipped, after a waitress placed her order. “Ka-you how to know, Ra?”
“Celine who is planless and careless just know, let alone me who is clearly smarter than him. You are the dumbest among us, Danurdara. You are too slow and do not want to express feelings. Celine will accept your feelings, if you're brave enough. But, being slow, Celine felt no need to give you a chance. Celine doesn't like guys who sneeze, you know! Because he was already too tough, that's why he was so brave to accept the famous proposal of Reksa haughty, rather than having to wait for certainty from you!”
Danu's heart was made. He did not expect that all this time his feelings were too obvious. In fact, not only Keira, Celine who is the woman of his clan already knows. Regretfully, it seems that it still applies to Danu's life. However, what to say, because of her own stupidity, Celine chose to go and marry another man.
Keira herself actually did not want to say the reality to Danu when the situation was getting runnin. However, there is a turbulent feeling that was difficult to control, after which Keira immediately slipped. Perhaps, he was too anxious and furious at the slow nature of Danu, until the man had to lose the woman.
“I'm sorry, Danu,” Keira said. “I know this is hard for you, seeing the woman you like marrying someone else. But, I also can't bear it anymore to make you realize at what point you are guilty.”
“Actually, I have another meaning why until now I have never said anything to Celine, Ra. He and including you are always enthusiastic when talking about traveling around the world. I don't want my existence to ruin the ideals of the two of you, as little as possible until you can achieve it, I can be patient first to acknowledge my feelings for Celine,” said Danu who has other reasons.
Keira. “I'm sorry, Danu, if it turns out you have such intentions. But, since long time ago between me and Celine, there are no rules about the prohibition of courtship. And now, things are getting worse. I feel sorry for him, Nu.”
“Mm .. pity? What happened to Celine, Ra?” search Danu. “And again, why did he suddenly get married, when all this time rarely seen to have a partner?”
“Danu, Celine is indeed often make trouble and make shame. A typical jutek girl who never cares what other people say. Moreover, he is very blunt when berating others. But, ... Celine is actually a good boy. The feeling of his mother was too big, he could not see others crying,” explained Keira.
“Yes, I know and that's why I love it, Keira.” Danu smiled smirk. “He sacrificed his time to help others. Arriving at the office, she was scolded all out by our boss.”
Danu gasped. “Gosh .. so, I mean you Celine—”
“Yes, Celine betrothed, Danu. You must have been familiar with the name of Reksa and Wirya Utama. Rarely did the Celine family know enough about the Wirya family, even Om Rodian was once saved by Wirya Utama. Om Rodian chose a simple life and continued his regional business, he was also reluctant to accept any more help from Wirya Utama, because he felt the sacrifice of Wirya Utama at that time was very large.”
“But, why should there be a matchmaking? For what?”
“Because Mutual. Reksa Wirya Pandega, 35, does not want to get married, but rumors say she does not like the opposite sex. But, actually, it's not. As I said just now, the Mutual is very fond of perfection. Not just a job, but maybe a woman. He is a typical man who is picky, does not care about the age that is mature enough. According to my speculations, Wirya Utama wants to put down bad rumors about Reksa, by way of betrothed the son to his best friend's daughter.”
Danu didn't think it out. It turned out that the problem faced by Celine was so complicated. She recalls Celine once saying about problems at home, but she never thought that Celine's problems were related to forced marriage. Even more remarkable is the degree of Wirya Utama who as a large conglomerate actually betrothed the son with Celine who came from an ordinary family. Why not just the daughter of a conglomerate? Danu really doesn't understand.
After listening to all the stories of Celine from Keira, Danu immediately felt guilty. After Celine gave the wedding invitation, she was immediately shocked to even tend to avoid Celine. He behaves like the most suffering human being, and decides not to attend Celine and Reksa's wedding. But think now! Celine is the one who has the most trouble.
“Why should Celine, Keira?” said Danu asked. The voice is soft and loud.
Keira sighed, concerned. “Maybe because of the bad rumors about Muta, so the upper class people are not willing to sacrifice their daughter to cover up the bad rumors. Even though the benefits obtained from the Mutual family are quite large, still which parents can let their daughters live with strange tumorous men like Reksa? If only, Om Rodian did not have a life debt to Wirya Utama, I am sure he would not accept the matchmaking.”
“Celine .. how unfortunate he is. Though, he was a figure who was good at making others laugh, but, why did he end up like this?”
“Therefore, Danu, I want you to be his savior hero. Please ... persuade Celine to part with Mutual, however. For God's sake, Nu! I can't let Celine's life be restrained and suffer if she continues with Mutual. Celine didn't want to listen to my words, because she had her own plan. Very dangerous absurd plan!”
Danu was stunned after hearing a plea from Keira. However, a few seconds later, he began to realize how much anxiety Keira had towards Celine's fate. If it's true, Reksa—CEO and the owners of the next generation of Gold Pandega Innovation— company are so arrogant and cruel, then Danu will agree to Keira's request. No matter what, he could have saved Celine's life.

The night came back in Moscow, Russia. Exhausted mutual, seen sleeping on his bed. However, several bottles of whiskey appeared lined up on the nightstand. He was frustrated and confused himself. How can he who often looks perfect, elegant, and charismatic, even interested in playing with lowly women like Celine? How can he show a light laugh, a sweet smile, and time to accompany Celine around the Moscow Kremlin, and even he willingly volunteered as the woman's photographer?
“I'm crazy, totally insane!” Mutual said furiously. In the next second, he changed the position that had previously spread, now gradually sitting while leaning on the headboard of the bed.
One of Reksa's fingers was busy reaching for a bottle of whiskey that was still sealed neatly. The only way to quell resentment, it is true, is only with a special and strong-scented drink. He doesn't want to care about any problems tonight. Regarding the work he needs to handle, even though he is on vacation, he will also ignore it first.
“Look at it, I'll torture that woman even more cruelly. Never expect happiness when you still dare to show your nose in front of me! That is the luck and price he needs to receive after he sassy to receive matchmaking between us!” said Reksa firmly and focused on the figure of his own wife. Then, he again took a sip of the whiskey until it ran out unresponsive, while he began to be unconscious.
