End of the Affair Reunion
Chapter 66 Surprise

The music that plays beautifully in my car is not as beautiful as the music in my chest. This smile that does not fade from my lips signifies my happy heart.

How unhappy would it be if both of Celine's parents expected me to be her daughter-in-law. Unfortunately, that hope is gone, but I am not discouraged to remain his friend.

Both of Celine's parents did not know my family status. And it seems like Celine did not intend to tell them about my status.

When my eyes closed in my sleep, I remembered my conversation with Celine's parents.

"This time Celine brought her boyfriend to the house. So it's not wrong if we as Celine's parents consider Alex's son as Celine's close friend? How close we don't know either. And special or not we don't know either" Celine's mother chuckled.

"Mother, don't tell me it's like Mom," Celine doesn't seem to like her mom saying that.

I knew that Celine was actually reluctant to hear it all because I had a family, and it felt impossible that we were together.

But Celine also did not say my true status was probably so that I would be comfortable in the midst of her family. And so that his parents did not forbid us to be close friends because of my status, you can know, I am a family man, I am a family man, he has a wife and two children.

My mind thinks so. Is there any other reason that Celine didn't tell her her parents my true status? I don't know, I haven't been able to ask him, now I can only guess.

"Here you go, Father and Mother are not going to press you anymore Cel, we just want the best for you. So we can only pray and we are waiting for your own choice. Now we believe in your choice because you chose for yourself" Celine's father explained to Celine.

It was true what Celine's father said. In my heart I agree. This life Celine and Celine are entitled to choose who will be her husband, her life partner for good.

If only Celine's father's mind had been conscious, there would have been no way Celine would have married Gio.

Ah.. remembering the name Gio my anger became peaked again. I was wondering, why does she not seem to want to let go of Celine, is it possible that she still loves her? But why was she blatantly having an affair in front of Celine with Reni back then? And when Celine caught him, why didn't she chase after Celine at that very instant? I don't think it's because she loves Celine.

Or maybe because he's obsessed with Celine? Obsessed because of what? Wasn't she ever her husband?

Aaargghhh.. shit! Because of all those thoughts, now my eyes refuse to shut. Celine's face was even reflected in my eyes, so how can I sleep?

I took my phone lying on the nightstand. I saw all the photos in my gallery. This is one remedy to relieve my longing at all times.

The funny pictures of Dave and Laura that I always take when I'm with them. My happy moments with them became a complete father to them. Their very cheerful laughter, their innocent faces that I long for, and their funny manners that make me always want to go home.

Don't think that if I always think of Celine then I see her picture. Don't think if I miss Celine then I call her, I'm not that low. I know where I am.

And this is how I get rid of all that feeling, by looking at pictures of Dave and Laura, or by contacting them via video call.

I am a jerk because I was once trapped by a Reni Wijaya. And I admit that Celine's name is still in my heart.

But I am now trying my hardest not to get out of my way. I want my family to stay intact and live happily with them. Can that happen?

...****************...

Diana, my wife, she still remains the same as back then, still a hobby of shopping and coursing with her social friends.

And there's still the same thing, the bill of all the credit cards I gave Diana. The installments of luxury items purchased by Diana every day increased, even the number increased rapidly. So that there is no breakup, after pay off there is a new bill, and so on.

As for Dave and Laura, they're really my great kids. They get smarter and they get adorable.

Actually Dave really wanted to come with me to the city where I work now, but again Diana always refused and reasoned that Dave's current school is the best.

Ever wanted to ask him, Dave's best school or your friends who are the mama-mama of Dave's best friends? But that question I hold in my heart, because I don't want Diana to go on a rampage and bring up my guilt, my affair with Reni. I've been avoiding it a lot, and I don't want it to happen again.

I was still monitoring Celine. In between my work, sometimes we meet. Not for any other reason, I just wanted to make sure that she was okay and was no longer bullied or stalked by Gio.

I think Gio has given up on approaching or following Celine's activities, because I haven't found her lately. I don't know, maybe because he's busy? Going out of town? Or maybe he was trapped by Reni's cage? I don't know, I'm definitely relieved that she's no longer troubling and bothering Celine.

And it's time for me to go home to my family, my wife and my children. Although this morning was very cloudy, it didn't stop me from going home to see them.

Initially my flight was delayed due to the very unsettling weather, but a few minutes after that the plane was able to start flying back.

"The cave... Laura... Papa came home." I shouted like a tarzan calling to his friends in the vast forest.

"Yeeee.... Papa's home....!" Dave was soaring in joy.

I carried and hugged Dave to let go of my longing. I kissed her whole face until she chuckled.

"Aduuuh... geli Papa..," he said with a chuckle and his body shrieked in joy in my sling.

"Laura where's Dave?" I asked Dave who was still in my arms.

"Just like Mama" she answered.

"Where's mom?" I went back to Dave.

"There is in the back garden," he replied as he pointed at the garden behind our house

I walked into the back garden with Dave still in my arms. My footsteps were so light and spirited considering my longing for Laura who could already speak even more and had already started walking.

Suddenly my steps stopped at the door that was going to lead to the back garden. I can't believe I saw it.

"What's this?"
