"City, Kei. How are you," the voice from inside the phone. Celica, Kei's friend called.
"Good.. I'm fine" Kei replied. The woman's voice was so hoarse that Celica looked strange.
"Trip–why with your voice. Why is Kei raspy? You just cried?" Celica was so anxious behind the phone.
"Ah, no-no. I'm fine."
"Your voice?"
"I just peeled an onion, Cel."
"Oh, I guess you're grieving," Celica at her place looked relieved. "Oh yeah, the reason I called you.." Celica remembered the reason for contacting Kei. "Because I got news from one of the websites about your fame. Congratulations to Kei. Already an actor. Said your novel was turned into a movie, right?"
"Ha, yes. Thank you." Thank you."
"Sorry yes, I've missed a lot of news," ended Celica's crisp laughter.
"Yes. It's okay," said Kei.
"Because I live in a country of people. That's why you don't see all your achievements. Keep me busy watching my other two twins."
Kei smiled. Before finally frowning. "Twin boy? Not that yesterday's news was that you only gave birth to one child, not twins huh, Cel?"
"Haha, yeah. One of them became a baby again. She's grown up but wants to be served like a baby."
"Who is he?" Kei's getting curious.
"Whoever is none other than the father of my four children is Kei. He wants to keep spoiled. Already old but keep on–Hem, sorry. I overdone," Celica seemed to start self-correcting. He forgot that the woman he called was Kei–the woman he had known all his life Celica was the most unfortunate woman and Celica really appreciated all her stubbornness. Raped, pregnant, experiencing symptoms of pregnancy, giving birth to three children without a husband, reviled irresponsible people, and now all know it.
"Yes. It's okay, ha ha ha ha," at the end of the sentence Kei laughed crisply and looked original.
"Sorry," Celica said it again for the second time.
"It's okay" again said. While the heart was very sad with the situation.. Having a husband is good. Always a spoiled tool. At least, can feel happiness touched in love and not just coercion. Without awkwardness. Maybe that's Kei's fate line. How shiny.
"We're Cel's friends. Just tell me what's awkward in your heart."
"You.. He said that kind of a bad woman, huh?"
Kei was momentarily silent.
"Look? … Kei kamu–" Celica in her guilt mentioned Kei's name for the second time. Kei must be getting hurt more and more by the fact.
"I just took a sip of water earlier," again lied.
Celica over there felt relieved for the umpteenth time. "Sorry alluding. I'm just asking.
"Yes. I know it. Continue on."
"I read it from the website. It was accidentally seen. I'm curious. He said you were an actor. And the movie you play is also an adaptation of your own novel. I was initially happy. But after reading all the news..I, I'm sure you didn't prophesy like that right?" Celica.
"Just think. I'm good or not" Kei tempted their friendship.
"You're good. I know you. I'm sure you're good."
Kei nodded in silence.
"But your situation is not good. That's why I want you here. We're gonna start a new life with your three kids. I've got people who can make new identity cards if you feel like you're going to be stalked constantly. Because after I investigated all because of that guy named Jeremy, right? He made you like this. I am sad to hear it too. Auntie Gin, we'll try to get her to move after healing."
"But how do you know all that, Cel?"
Celica fell silent.
However, without Kei realizing it, Celica continued to watch him from afar. He was just trying to get back to his familiarity with the woman because he had already misspoken.
The horror that Celica felt when she found all the evidence that was not true at all, made by Merly. He who can't do anything actually cries seeing everyone, evil to Kei for no reason quite clear and reasonable.
Seriate…
