Love Lost and Returned
105 Eps. Fair-minded

The clock is at half-time three in the afternoon. Celine finished her class that day. Because he wanted to wait for Fanny to come home, he also wanted to go to cafe A close to campus.

But before going to the cafe, he also stopped by the library for a while to borrow some books as a reference for his assignment.

He entered the library and immediately headed for the closet where the business book was located. He looked for the book he meant. After meeting, he immediately went to the admin to borrow the book.

When he was about to get out of the library, not far from there he saw a man who looked very much like Steven. It's been the third time he's seen a guy like Steven.

This time he was very curious, is it true that the man is just a person who looks like his girlfriend or is it true that he is Steven his girlfriend who disappeared all this time.

Celine walked down the hallway following in the footsteps of the man. But after arriving at the end of the hallway, he lost track of the man. He looked to the right and to the left but did not see the man.

He was about to turn around to go to his car because he felt it was just a hallucination. He also decided to forget about it.

Upon reaching the parking lot, he sees Danny and Rico chatting. Celine also took the initiative to approach them.

"Ka Danny, ka Rico", call Celine from a distance while approaching Danny and Rico

"Hai cel.", said Danny and Rico together

"Ka, may I ask?", asked Celine when she arrived before the two men.

"What do you want to ask Cel?", asked Danny

"Did you find Steven's whereabouts?", asked Celine softly

For a moment the two men were silent

"We haven't found Steven cel. We are still looking for it" said Rico

"Ohh.", said Celine nodding.

"I'm sorry we still haven't found it. But we'll keep looking for Cel" Rico said again

"Yes gapapa ka" said Celine smiling bitterly

maybe the guy I saw was just a Steven-like guy or maybe just a hallucination of mine.

"Well you've got it, then I'll go first" Celine said, leaving after Danny and Rico agreed.

Celine got into her car and immediately drove her car towards Cafe A.

After arriving, he went into the cafe and ordered a drink for himself and a cake as his snack. Celine paid the bill and immediately found an empty seat in the cafe.

After getting a seat, Celine waited for her drinks and cookies while reading the book she had borrowed in the library.

Not long after, the drinks and cakes arrived. He immediately drank and took turns to eat the cake.

Celine opened her phone and sent a message to Fanny that she was in Cafe A to wait for her and told Fanny to go straight there after her class.

After how long he saw the clock in his hand had shown at half-four in the afternoon. Thirty minutes left until Fanny dropped out of class.

But that time his mind was disturbed by the man who looked very similar to Steven, his girlfriend. He opened his cell phone and looked at his photo gallery.

So many photos of her with Steven. He misses that man so much.

Want his taste he approached the man to convince whether it was Steven or just a person similar to Steven or even just his hallucinations because he missed his girlfriend so much.

He also intends to look for the man tomorrow while on campus, if it is true there are people similar to Steven maybe he will find it, if it is true, he will find it, but if it's just a hallucination maybe tomorrow he won't see anyone

Before long Fanny came to Cafe A and looked for where Celine was. After finding her he immediately approached Celine

"Cel, have you been waiting for me for a long time?", asked Fanny as she sat herself in a chair across from Celine

However Celine did not respond as it was still in her daydream.

Fanny was confused to see Celine who was daydreaming. I don't know what his best friend was thinking. But Fanny can guess for sure because Steven it can also be proven because Celine is holding her cellphone which displays photos of Celine and Steven while in Bali.

"Cel.", call Fanny again while holding Celine's hand

Celine whose hands were touched was finally awakened from her daydream.

"Eh Fanny, you've arrived" said Celine

"I'm sorry Fan"." said Celine

"Actually what are you daydreaming cel? Dong.'s story", said Fanny

"I was just missing Steven, Fan", said Celine softly and lowered her face

Fanny was silent for a moment and exhaled a long breath and then held Celine's hands together

"I know you must miss Steven. But I don't want you to be sad anymore either" said Fanny trying to cheer up

"I understand that you are very lost, but you must also learn to let go and make amends. It's hard but we have to go through all of those things sincerely so that your situation becomes better. I am not in your position, nor do I feel what you are feeling right now" Fanny said at length

"I also once felt lost like you before her", Fanny's words stopped for a moment

"I also lost a father. I can still see it, but it's very hard for me to reach. Even since my mother and father divorced, I never saw my father again. I don't know how many years I haven't seen my dad. And during that time I missed my father a lot" said Fanny Lirih

Celine took turns holding Fanny's hand which looked like she wanted to shed tears

"I'm sorry Fan, I didn't mean to offend your past" Celine said

"It's okay, Cel, I've let go and mengikhlasannya anyway.", said Fanny smiled bitterly

"I'm sorry Fan is making you sad again" said Celine

"What matters now is that you must be strong, do not be sad for too long. You have to get up" said Fanny

"Thank you Fan, you are indeed my best friend" Celine smiled

After the two of them strengthen each other, at the end they go home to Celine because they will go with Mama Gladys and Sally.

Once at home, Celine and Fanny head straight for Celine's room. Celine decided to clean her body for a while because her body felt sticky.

After finishing the bath and preparing, he and Fanny approached Sally who was in the backyard.

"Ka Fanny, are you here?", asked Sally with a happy face and immediately hugged Fanny

"Yes Sally, I was invited by Celine to join" said Fanny

"It cools us so go the race.", said Sally happy

Even Sally looks happier on appeal with Celine

Not long before Mama Gladys approached the three girls.

"Hallo boy girl beautiful mom. Are you ready?", asked Mama Gladys with a smile that soothes anyone's heart

"It's ma" said Sally smiling

Yep... Sally has been calling Gladys mama since Sally lived there. Because mama Gladys felt sorry for Sally who thought she no longer had a mother. Celine thinks of her as her own sister.

"Well let's go now so we don't go home" said mama Gladys

The four women headed to the outside yard and got into the car that was provided and immediately headed to the mall.

Along the way they chatted with each other, no one even hesitated or felt uneasy about the existence of mama Gladys because mama Gladys was so close to her son, Celine , so there is no secret between them. And so did Mama Gladys to Sally. Mama Gladys was fair and equal to them.
