Celine looked at me with a sad look. He was waiting for me to tell him. He hasn't opened his voice since I came to this restaurant.
This morning I texted her, we were meeting at lunchtime at a Japanese restaurant, Celine's favorite food. I purposely invited her to meet here because I always remember Celine being very fond of Japanese food.
"Cel, I'll tell you everything. But I'm sorry, I didn't tell you last night because I didn't want to worry you. And. and I don't want to bring up your wounds."
"What do you mean by my wound Al?" it seems like Celine is getting interested in my story.
"Huff... Reni came to my house last night Cel," I let out a heavy sigh, I closed my eyes retelling the events of last night that made me feel attracted by the magnet that pulled me back to last night's events.
Celine was stunned to hear Reni's name. He opened his eyes wide and tucked his hair behind his ears to listen for the continuation of my story.
"The night I came home from work, he was in my house chatting with my wife. After that...," I hung my words because it felt tight in my chest remembering last night's incident.
I sighed deeply and exhaled slowly, after which I went back to telling Celine everything that happened last night when Reni came home until Reni left my house.
"Is that Al's pain?" celine's eyes glazed over the mark of Diana's scratch on my hand.
I smiled and shook my head, I didn't want to show Celine my pain. It was so fun to be worried about him. It felt like my pain was just gone. She's my painkiller, my Celine, the woman who's always been in my heart.
"What about that on your back Al? It must have hurt a lot. Is it treated?" his voice sounded very anxious.
"I'm fine Cel, you don't have to worry. I'm sorry if I can't be there if you need me here, I don't want to make my wife think anything that's not about us. I-"
"You're okay, Cel here. If there's anything, just call me. I'll definitely come, 'cause I don't want anything to happen to you."
"Al... Al. I should be the one worried about you. Now you better go home Al, and don't come home late to get your wife's trust back. And also make him realize your seriousness."
Celine's advice really got inside my brain. She's a really good woman. A wise woman who can always be a place for me to be calm.
"I'll take it with me," I tried to offer her because I was really worried about such a beautiful woman in the capital that she had just stopped by this time.
"No need Al, I took a taxi, yes" she completely rejected me, it seemed she didn't want any misunderstanding with my wife.
I nodded in agreement and accompanied him to wait for his order taxi to arrive. I looked at the taxi he was riding with a feeling that I don't know.
I got in my car and ran it to my office. At home, I immediately went home according to what Celine talked about. I will also try to restore Diana's trust in me, because as Celine wants, I also want my family to calm down and live happily with my son and wife.
Three months have passed. Last night Celine said goodbye to me over the phone. Celine's back in town today. And I'm still with my daily life, with my work, and with a mission to regain Diana's trust.
"Good bye Celine, may we meet again" I said with a farewell smile she gave me as I took a moment to meet Celine last time here.
"Good bye Al, may your troubles be solved quickly and you may live happily with your family" Celine said goodbye to me before she walked into the airport.
