End of the Affair Reunion
Chapter 51 My Longing

My promise to myself will be kept. I promise to protect and protect Celine at any time, even if only from a distance. And now it's really happening. I could only see Celine from far away.

Ever since that luncheon at the Japanese restaurant, Celine's been avoiding me. He refused all my phone calls. My message is he ignored. Until I accidentally went to his office at lunchtime, but I wasn't as brave as everyone imagined. I was just waiting for him where I usually pick him up.

I'm really like a fool waiting for someone who's not necessarily in there. Celine didn't leave her office until lunch was over. And I was forced to return to my office without seeing Celine.

Can you imagine how I feel? I was really worried and feeling guilty about him. Because I'm Celine was slandered by Reni so she had to marry that damn guy. Because I'm Celine to be Reni's instrument of revenge. Because I'm Celine to be the subject of scorn, guys. And because I'm Celine feeling hurt and suffering.

"Stupid....dumb.." I yelled in the car by banging my wheel, and I felt like a complete fool.

I didn't give up so easily, I called her back a few times and also texted her a few times. Until I felt like I was terrorizing him.

Celine had avoided meeting me for a few days. Avoiding calls and messages from me. I was so frustrated that I felt like I wanted to shout to call her name so she would see me.

God....

May I ask? Why is it that when my relationship improves with my family at the same time that my friendship with Celine stretches? What does this mean? Do I have to choose? And if I have to choose, then I know the answer. Surely Celine told me not to get in touch with her so that my relationship with my family would improve. I'm pretty sure of that.

I drove my car somewhere I was sure Celine was always there. That place is very crowded, so there would be no way Celine would dare to kick me out, right? Ok, I decided to go to that place.

After my car was perfectly parked, I prepared my heart to go into the place in front of me. My eyes went around every corner in this place, and the result was nil, I did not find Celine there.

"Sir, did Celine come here?" I asked a waitress who was walking after delivering food.

"Several days, Miss Celine didn't come, sir. Is there anything I can help you with?" the answer from this waitress did not help me at all, the answer from her instead made me anxious.

"Is he sick? Why hasn't he come in a few days?" I can't wait to hear the answer from the waitress.

"We don't know sir. Ms. Celine did not give any news at all," he replied.

I was silent, my eyes were running through the place because I thought that Celine was just avoiding me and wouldn't want to see me.

"I'll excuse you sir" the waitress said goodbye to me.

I was forced to leave Celine's cafe. I don't know where else to look. Instantly I thought of Aunt Shela's restaurant. I wanted to go there and ask Aunt Shela, but my fear was bigger than my curiosity. I'm afraid that if Aunt Shela knows the truth, she will forbid Celine from meeting or relating to me forever. More scary, right?

My heart, mind and body are out of sync. I wanted to go to Aunt Shela's place, but at once my heart said no, but my mind always went to Celine and finally without me knowing, my car was in front of the restaurant owned by Aunt Shela.

And this is where I finally had to decide to leave this place, because Aunt Shela had already exited her restaurant and got into her car. Looks like he's coming home. It was highly unlikely that Celine would still be in there.

Damnit damnit!

I forgot that my stomach hasn't been filled at all since I got home from the office. As usual, my stomach disease was back. Stupid me, why didn't you just eat at Celine's cafe or at Aunt Shela's restaurant. Ckckck.

I had to stop my car at a cafe not far from the restaurant owned by Aunt Shela. The cafe became a gathering place for my Junior High School friends and Celine. I don't know when they're there, I don't know. Is it possible that by the time they make a deal, or even every day, I don't know about it either. Now all I think about is my stomach so I don't get sick from ignoring it.

May I not meet them here, my prayers are in my heart as I enter the cafe.

Immediately I ordered some food and sat down at a nearby place just so I could quickly leave after I finished eating. It feels so long when I wait for my food at this table.

I looked at my watch and I laughed in my heart. Just about five minutes I waited and I said it's been a long wait, very funny isn't it?

"Well, Lex, we're finally here, too" this voice, a voice I'm familiar with.

"It turns out you're still Alex our friend," and this one voice too, I know him.

"Why don't you call us Lex before you get here? Good thing we stopped by here earlier, if not, then we will not meet," and this voice is also, complete already, three familiar voices in my ears.

Anton grabbed my shoulder and sat down on the chair beside me. Andre and Dika were sitting in the chair in front of me.

I smiled with a forced. I hope they don't notice my forced smile. They're still just like they used to be, always making fun of each other, but it's entertainment for us.

But it was time for me to be exposed to their turn to make their joke target. But this one makes me emotional. They related to Celine in her joke. They did not change, even after Celine slapped and flushed it with Celine's juice at that time she kept looking down on Celine, calling her a seductress and a prostitute.

Brak!!!

Bukk!
