Celine And Her Arrogant Husband
Episode 93 - A Disappointment

Keira did not expect the father who had been ignoring her all this time, was now suddenly in front of her. There was nothing Keira could say, she just kept silent as she stared at the cup filled with warm coffee. Previously, he had planned not to eat a little caffeine, even he had rejected Danu's invitation to coffee together. However, he no longer knew where to take his father. His apartment? Of course not, Keira would not feel comfortable if only alone with her own father, then she also could not bring Danu into his residence just to accompany him. And at this time, he was forced to ask Danu to stay by his side.

“Keira? You how are you?” ask Keira's father, Anwar. There was an awkward smile that attracted both corners of her lips.

Keira's jaw hardened, while her fingers rubbed against each other. The question from Anwar had hurt him. How can a father question his own daughter? A princess who should often be preached or noticed. Nah! Keira hasn't even gotten that since her mother's gone. Indeed, he never contacted his father by phone, but every word with his father was only limited to greeting words with a very short duration.

Danu as Keira's current companion who is also an observer figure, realizes something is not right. He knew Keira had been living alone all this time. However, it seems that he does not really understand the relationship between Keira and the father.

“Good, Father.” Finally two words that had formed a short sentence rang out from Keira's pale lips. Then, he sighed, then went back to silence. Lowering his head was still the most appropriate choice for him at the moment. Perhaps, Danu or even others who pay attention will feel sad about the situation with the real father.

Anwar also sighed. His eyes blinked rapidly, and the jakun on his neck appeared to descend, proving that he often swallowed saliva. All gestures Anwar's body has shown that he is indeed being overwhelmed with unpleasant feelings as well as anxiety.

“Good morning by noon, Om!” danu said giving a greeting. Since walking to a nearby cafe with Keira and the woman's father, he has not taken the initiative to give a greeting or an introduction. “Umm .. I Danu, Danurdara Angkasa. Tem—“

“You're Keira's boyfriend?” cut Anwar with a sudden stabbing question.

Keira who gasped, until widened her eyes. “Not! Danu's not Keira's boyfriend, Dad! We are just friends!” it is loud, firm, and steady.

Danu looked at Keira and was stunned in a few moments. He tried to look at and digest Keira's words just now. Uh! It was like being stabbed by a machete, Danu's heart was in pain. He does not understand what happened to him, but certainly Keira seems to have long forgotten the feeling of liking for him. In fact, the woman seemed to give a crushing rejection.

“Areally like, mm, Nak Danurdara?” search Anwar.

Danu turned her gaze from Keira towards Anwar. “Yes, Om, we're just friends. Ordinary friend,” replied wryly.

“I think you guys are dating, because early in the morning like this is already a two way.” Anwar gave a pretty sarcastic word.

“Not, Father.” Keira sighed. And still looking down, he asked, “Lantas, what are you doing here? Tumben Dad come to this area?”

Anwar put on a sour face and full of restlessness back. “Dad ... missed you, Nak.”

“Oh yes?”

“Umm ... actually, ...” Doubtful, Anwar stopped his sentence and then looked at Danu with eyes glowing with hope.

Danu knew the meaning of the gaze from Keira's father. A gesture that Anwar wants his departure for a while. Danu had no other choice. The next moment, he got up from his seat. Saying a short word of farewell to Keira, then completely passed from that place.

After Danu left, Keira's heart raged. What he avoid—duaing with his father—it precisely happened this second. If possible, he wants to catch up with Danu and let his own father. Unfortunately, he also did not want to be a child who disobeyed his parents. As a result, the final decision said that Keira must indeed stay in front of his father.

“What's up, Dad? And where is Auntie Dwi with Rita?” asked Keira again, as well as questioning the existence of the new Dwi—wife of his father— and Rita—his second son from marriage with the woman named Dwi.

“Mm.” Still restless, it felt to get rid of that feeling was indeed the difficult for Anwar to do.

“Be-begini .. a-father came to ask you for help, Son.” Anwar was bitter and scared.

“Begging you about what, Dad? Any problems?” search Keira getting curious.

“I-it's about your mom, son.”

Keira's forehead frowned. “My mom? My mother is dead, ‘kan?”

“Tante Dwi means Father, Keira. How long were you like that to her? Isn't she your mother too?”

Keira sighed. “Not. Auntie Dwi is Rita's mother. And Keira's birth mother. Mother Keira is only one in this world.”

“Keira ... I'm sorry if you feel neglected after Auntie Dwi's arrival. Moreover, Auntie Dwi is sick. Auntie Dwi needs serious treatment and costs a lot, Keira. Please.”

“Oooh! So anyway? Dad came to see Keira, just for money?” Keira smiled wryly. “Alright, just relax. Keira will give it to you. No need to worry, just send your account number via message.”

There was nothing more disappointing than being disappointed by her own father. Keira was completely injured at once inexhaustible. Why did the old man he had come only for money? And the fatalities for the treatment of the new wife? Is that worth it?

Keira never forbade her father from remarrying. However, it was Anwar's attitude that had made him sick, until he decided to leave the house. Anwar ignores her too much, especially when it comes to having Rita. Anwar's affection for him is greatly reduced, just because Keira has grown up, then Anwar does not give similar attention to his new child.

And of course, Keira felt very upset. It feels very natural, doesn't it? He never cared about it, but the father who was honestly still very dear to him suddenly came with a request. Disillusioned.

Money is not difficult for Keira. He worked at an elite company. His salary is no joke. Therefore, he did not mind to give Anwar the amount of money he wanted. It's just .. he can't accept the reality that is happening now.

“Keira ... Father apologized,” softly Anwar used his tongue that is twisted, as well as his lips that tremble.

Keira sighed. “Send me Dad's account number. But, it looks like Keira has to leave right now.”

“Keira ..?”

Keira ignored the response given by Anwar on the word parting as well as his indifference. Then he got up from his seat. Keira walked away from Anwar without even looking back— towards his father. However, that doesn't mean he's completely ignorant. Honestly, he felt guilty for being cold. Unfortunately the disappointment that had been contained in his heart was already too big.

“Ra? Any problems?” asked Danu who had met Keira in the cafe courtyard.

“Not your business!” sahut Keira cold.

Danu sighed, did not take any action and remained silent on the spot, even though Keira had walked with quick steps. Danu's heart could only wonder, while she did not know what to do. What's more, it seems Keira needs some time to herself.
