End of the Affair Reunion
Chapter 78 Trauma

"Calm down, I'm here."

I calmed Celine down by hugging her. She sobbed, crying in my arms. No longer do I think Celine will be mad at me. All I want is for her to calm down and not cry anymore.

I don't know how long I've held her until I forget there's still a kidnapper behind me. Maybe he's passed out, or maybe he's dead? I don't know because I still can't look back. Celine was still crying in my arms.

"Don't move!"

"Thank your hands!"

Just as Celine and I were shocked, we let go of our embrace. But before I got out of Celine's sight, I immediately took off my coat and I put it on Celine to cover her clothes that had been torn by the kidnapper.

I looked back, but unfortunately I did not see the kidnapper. My eyes were all over the room and I couldn't find them either.

"Damn!"

"Gio, motherfucker!!!"

I screamed emotion for losing that fucking kidnapper. I haven't punished him. And by God I'll teach him a lesson.

"Please come with us to the police station" one of the police officers told us.

I nodded and helped Celine to walk with me out of that cursed place.

Some of the police are splitting up to find Gio who kidnapped Celine. In our hearts we both prayed that Gio would be caught quickly and be punished accordingly.

"Al, is Gio going to get caught?" Celine asked me in a trembling voice.

I saw fear in both eyes and I hope he was not traumatized by the incident that kept him locked up for about two nights there.

We were taken to the police station to provide further details. And Celine's parents came along with Aunt Shela.

Celine's mother cried at Celine's miserable state. Celine's clothes, hair and face looked messy, and traces of tears that always dripped could still be seen by her mother.

Nothing beats the instinct of a mother. All he knows about his son. Whatever it is, it's no exception.

Celine's mother hugged her son's body. Celine's shoulders trembled up and down in her mother's arms. I'm sure Celine is crying in her mother's arms again.

"We're still looking for Gio's brother who kidnapped Father's son. For now you can bring sister Celine home. If we need testimony from Celine's sister, we'll come to Father's house."

The police who had given us some of those questions now explained to Celine's father to bring Celine home.

I drove them in my car because Celine's dad used Aunt Shela's car when he came to the police station. And Aunt Shela soon came home because she left her ten-year-old son awake from his sleep and contacted him to quickly return home.

Arriving at home, Celine immediately cleaned her body accompanied by her mother. And I'm still waiting for him in the living room to tell you all about it, it all started with Celine's dad.

"We, Father and Mother Celine, thank Alex for saving Celine in time."

A look of sadness appeared on Celine's father's face. He breathed heavily as he continued his words.

"We don't know what will happen if Alex doesn't find out, doesn't report to the police and doesn't come in time to help our son. We'll be very sorry."

"Celine... Here son, I want to talk," Celine's father calls Celine to come to the living room.

Celine who was receiving a bribe from her mother was forced to move to the living room with her mother who faithfully fed her child.

"You have to stay here again because Gio is still unaccounted for" Celine's father said in a low voice so that his son would not recollect the kidnapping.

Celine agreed to her father's request. Celine's mother smiled and gently rubbed Celine's hair after feeding her child.

After hearing that Celine was going to stay at her parents' house, I felt calm and left Celine's parents' house in relief.

I don't know what will happen if I don't find it. Can I just relax through my days? I will feel very guilty about myself.

My promise to protect her from afar was only a promise. And now I'm afraid, Gio that fucking jerk can kidnap Celine without anyone's knowledge.

Everyone thought that Gio would not be able to find Celine's residence. In fact he's been stalking Celine for a long time. And we as the closest people to Celine feel stupid and cheated because of this kidnapping.

The next day I came to see Celine at her parents' house. I wonder how Celine is doing right now.

Is it like yesterday or is it better? This question I want to answer by coming to his house directly.

It was a week after the kidnapping. Gio was still unaccounted for, and it made me and the Celine family even more anxious.

Celine still lives in her parents' house, but she wants to work again.

"I can't keep going like this Al. I have to do my routine back to what it used to be. And my cut will be over soon. Let me work and live my days back."

Celine's words are right. I knew that she was a great woman, and not weak even though she was just pretending to be strong and strong.

"Alright, but I hope you have someone to pick Cel up. If your father can't pick you up, call me. I'll always be ready for you."

"Thank you Al. You're so nice. Maybe I can't repay all your kindness" she said with a sweet smile at me.

"I'm sincere Cel. I know that the way we protect each other is different. You always protected me with your advice. While I am not good at advising others because my own life is like this. I can only protect. So I hope you don't feel uncomfortable if maybe I'm always around you" I said, chuckling and laughing at Celine.

Saru Moon has been around since the kidnapping happened. And Gio was still not found. As for me, I still can't see my children either.

My parents asked me to sue for custody of Dave and Laura, but I thought Dave and Laura should be questioned first. Because to be honest, even though I really wanted custody of Dave and Laura, I didn't want them to feel forced and fall back into the selfishness of their parents.

"Dad, can Celine move into Celine's own apartment?"

Celine asked her father as they were relaxing while watching television after dinner.

"Celine, I actually have a condition if you want to live outside this house. And I hope you can think about it. Mom and Dad just want the best for you. And also we don't want this to happen again because Gio hasn't been caught yet."

Celine's father paused her speech while looking at her son's face to reassure her.

"Condition? Is that Dad?"
