"Dad doesn't mind you not staying here anymore, but I hope it doesn't happen again. So I want you to get married. That way someone will take care of you in our place" Celine's father said understandingly.
"But Dad, Celine didn't want to be forced to remarry like that. Celine Kapok Daddy's. And look at this now, Gio did this to me. And I don't want it to happen the second time" Celine replied in a slightly choked voice.
"Dad understood and Dad didn't want it to happen again. That's why I want you to stay here until there's a man who's really right for you and your husband" Celine's father said.
Outside Celine's house, there are now some cops who ask her neighbors for Celine's house. And the unlucky thing is that the neighbors who were questioned by the two policemen asked them back.
They say that Celine was a victim of sexual harassment and now they want to see Celine to bring her some very important news.
The neighbors were shocked to hear that Celine had been the victim of sexual harassment. And they are now gossiping about having the latest gossip after showing the two policemen where Celine's parents are.
I came to Celine's parents' house at the right time. At that time the police were already inside Celine's house. They reported that Gio had been found and that he was being processed at the police station.
Seemed a happy twinkle in both of Celine's eyes. The happy smile that had not been revealed after the abduction occurred, now the happy smile has returned.
Be happy? Of course I'm happy. Very happy even to see Celine who was free from her sadness.
After informing him, the two policemen resigned from Celine's house. And I'll take them to the car.
"So far, sir, the car" I said for trying to talk to the two policemen.
"Yes sir, we had to ask the people around here first" replied one of the policemen walking with me.
"Have you met Celine sir's family?"
"How, sir, has the culprit met?"
"Have you been arrested sir?"
"Will the culprit take responsibility for Celine sir?"
Neighbors who were making the gossip conference are now asking the two policemen a few questions.
It was really surprising that I heard it. The neighbor who had made Celine had to marry Gio because of their spicy mouth that was poisoned by Reni's mouth at that time.
Why would they know? I don't know what will happen. Oh God. Don't let Celine grieve back, my mind is upset at them.
"Already Mom. Excuse me," one of the policemen told the mothers who asked the two policemen.
After I drove the two policemen to his car, I went down the same road to get back to Celine's house.
"Eh mas.. mas... Is that Celine? Her boyfriend? mas this bego or how, Celine has been harassed by other men, Mas still want to be like him? There are still many other women who would want the same Mas."
"Yes right. Wong Mas is handsome. No one would refuse to be a wife to her."
"My son is Mas. Prettier, quieter and unlike Celine who always teases guys."
Enough's enough! It's already! Enough of what I heard. I don't want to hear them vilify Celine anymore.
I just left them with my quick and long footsteps to get to Celine's house.
"Sir, how is this? Poor Celine is back as their talk sir. What do we do?"
Celine's mother cried as she moved her husband's hand while talking to him.
He could not think clearly anymore because the same thing now happened back to his son.
Celine's mother had to return the plate belonging to her neighbor who yesterday gave her food on the grounds of sharing.
But when Celine's mother gave the plate to the house next to her, she heard things that hurt her heart.
Celine's father sighed like something was clogging up her chest.
"Excuse me."
For some reason, my mouth spoke subconsciously making Celine's father and mother turn towards me.
"Eh son Alex, please come in," said Celine's mother by wiping her tears.
I went in and sat down in the chair in front of them.
Is there something wrong with me? Or my appearance is wrong? Or maybe a mess?
I said in my heart while looking at myself from the bottom to my chest. There's nothing strange about me. And of course it's based on my vision.
"Alex, have you come to meet Celine?" ask Celine's dad to me.
But before I answered, Celine's mother first called Celine to come to the living room to gather with us.
"Celine!"
Celine's mother shouted from the living room to call Celine. And I heard the soft, melodious voice in both senses of my listener answering him.
"Yes Ma'am, for a moment," replied Celine who seemed to be walking towards the living room.
"What's wrong, ma'am? Anything important? Buruan Bu, I'm arranging my suitcase so that I can move to my apartment immediately, but there's Alex I can tell you to move my suitcase later."
Celine chuckled in saying it. I smiled at him when he looked at me.
"Why did Al make me a porters to put my suitcase into my apartment?"
Celine asked me. He still remembers that I was here. And it makes me feel happy and very flattered.
"Just relax Cel, like anyone," I replied to him and he replied with a big smile.
"What's wrong, ma'am? Why are you so quiet like this? Is Celine wrong, ma'am?"
Some of the questions were asked by Celine to ask her mother who had called her.
"Cel, the mother had returned the plates of Ms. Menik, and there were many mothers who gossiped as usual. They're..."
Celine Tidka's mother's words can be resolved. He did not want to add to his wounds that had just healed. She did not want to make her son sad again after a few minutes ago smiling and laughing without any burden.
"They're why Mom? Are they talking about Celine? Ah, you don't have to worry Mom, let them say anything, what matters is not true. Let's just Mom, they will also be tired for a long time and the gossip will disappear if there is a new rumor."
Celine said that with a smile like there was no burden at all.
Is it true that he didn't bother about it? Is it true that he is not hurt to hear it? Even I was very upset and angry when they talked about him.
"They found out about the kidnapping, and they said that no man would marry you if they knew you were a victim of sexual harassment."
The deg!
I was so shocked to hear that. And I'm sure that Celine is the same as me because I saw her facial expression that showed deep sadness and disappointment through her eyes and her ever-expanding smile, it's gone now with a moment.
"So, do you want to...."
"Dad!"
Celine cuts off her father's words that Celine knows will lead to where the conversation will go.
