End of the Affair Reunion
Chapter 45 The wedding invitation

The sound of knocking on the door of the room we were in stopped my words. Celine let in waitress who brought me the food and drink that Celine had ordered for me.

"Why so many Cel? I might not be able to finish it" I said as I looked at all the food that had been served on the table.

"It's not just you eating Al, I'm hungry, too" Celine's smile graced every word she said.

"So you haven't eaten Cel?" ask me with a surprised expression.

Celine shook her head and smiled widely, as her hands filled the food on my plate and her own plate.

"That's a pretentious talk to me, it turns out that he has not eaten himself, too" said I did not accept.

Celine laughed, she really became my painkiller. I don't know why I forgot all about my problems with him.

"Why Cel, is it because of that invitation?" ask me before I start my meal.

"No, I was so busy that I forgot to eat and when I was going to order food, uh I saw you coming to this place. It's pretty good that there's a friend eating," he replied with a smile and began to spoon his food.

I started eating while looking at Celine's face, which made me calm and happy. Feelings cannot be lied to. Even though I buried deeply my feelings for her, there was still a sense of uneasiness and happiness when I met her.

"You're saddened Cel by the invitation to the point that you don't have an appetite?" I'm trying to dig up information from Celine.

"Not Al. I'm really busy. And that invitation I just received a few minutes ago when I ordered food for us earlier," Celine's reply surprised me.

"Shoulder? Then, did you meet that guy?" I questioned the curiosity that had plagued my mind since.

Celine smiled bitterly, then she ate the food already in her spoon. After that he said,

"Even the women came here to give the invitation."

My eyes are perfect. How shocked I was to hear that Gio along with Reni went to Celine to give them their wedding invitation.

I was very curious how Gio's reaction was to meet Celine who is now, Celine who is more independent, Celine who is more confident and Celine who is certainly more beautiful after being a widow from him.

And Reni, I was also curious how her haughty attitude that had taken the husband away from Celine came to Celine to give them their wedding invitation.

I looked back at the wedding invitation which was listed as 'Giovani Mahendra and Reni Wijaya'.

"They.. Did they hurt you?" many doubt.

Celine stopped eating her, she looked at me, a few seconds later she smiled and said,

"I'm not that weak Al. I am stronger now than I was before. Because yes, as we know, wounds will teach us a lesson so that we do not fall into the same problem. With that experience I became more careful and more selective in choosing friends or partners."

I smiled at her, but I was still worried about her. After all she is a weak woman in my opinion compared to Reni who is an aggressive woman and must get what she wants.

"Of course Al, you are my best friend" he said, giving me a sweet smile.

"And I don't want you to hide your problems from me anymore Al. It's not fair if I always ask you to tell me, but you never want to tell me" Celine said this time as if to touch me, I doubt if he doesn't know I'm in a lot of trouble.

"Different Cel, I'm a man, embarrassed to share stories with anyone," I replied in self-defense.

"really? And I know now you have a lot of thoughts. Surely you are facing a lot of problems" he said, which made me choke on my food.

"Slow Al. I know it's true, so just relax don't have to choke like that" he said back while giving me a glass of water to drink.

I received the glass and I ate the drink in the glass.

"You're Cel's psychic? It felt like I was caught doing something" I said after I finished drinking.

"Hahaha, since we're close to Al, I know when you lie, you know, I know when you're thinking a lot and I also know if you forget to eat you mean you're in a lot of trouble. Isn't it Al?" celine replied with her laugh that really cornered me because what she said was true.

"Well, I admit defeat. You are indeed the best Cel," I said with a chuckle.

"So, what makes you forget to eat until the alarm on your stomach goes off Al?" Celine asked me back as if she was introgasin' me.

"All right, let me tell you after we finish eating" I said to buy some time.

We ate with our jokes and laughter. It is perfect if a meal with family can be as happy and comfortable as this. Unlike my dinner with Diana and Dave. I thought back to my problem with Diana. Had my family been this warm, I would not have been as frustrated and stressed as I am today.

"Come on Al, tell me that you think of me as your best friend" Celine asked me to tell her.

I told him about my return at the time. About my desire to bring my children and my wife to this city, about Diana's attitude and life changes and about the problems of my failure in bed that night. All I told him. No exception to the doctor's verdict on my illness.

"I'm worried Cel, should I do the doctor's advice? I'm not sure Cel," I said sluggishly and resignedly.

"Then what are you planning, Al?" Celine asked me.

"Hufffttt. I don't know Cel. From then on I thought about it until I forgot to eat and my stomach disease finally relapsed as well" I replied in frustration.

"Prophe Al, don't despair and just do your best. There will be happiness waiting for you" Celine gave me encouragement.

I smiled in relief, Celine is able to make the burden of my mind slightly decrease. This is exactly what I expected when I contacted Diana. She's my wife, I want to share my thoughts and problems with her. I want him to calm me down a bit even if he doesn't give me any solution. I want to get my wife's spirit and of course I want to get a prayer from her.

"Pray me Cel, so that I can recover quickly," I asked Celine to pray for me.

"I always pray for you Al so that everything you can go through well. I pray that you heal quickly and that you will find happiness with your family" Celine said.
