Love Lost and Returned
48 Eps. Apologise

The next day at school, Celine and Steven were together. Jacob and Mona who saw that were confused.

"Why are they together again?" asked Mona

"Where do I know, I'm here with you" Jacob replied

"What now?" asked Mona again

"Let me think about what plans to do next" Jacob said, leaving Mona for class.

in class Fanny is already sitting on her chair

"Cie cie is better" said Fanny

"What the heck are you Fan".", Celine replied while nudging Fanny's shoulder

*************

The break bell rang, the students scattering out of the classroom

"Cel, are we going to eat out again?" asked Fanny.

"I'm a fan, but Linda and Dion" said Celine

"It's better that we behave as usual with them, just that you keep a little distance from Jacob" Fanny said

"Okay, let's go to the cafeteria" said Celine

When he arrived at the cafeteria, Celine and Fanny immediately greeted his best friend. Linda and Dion behave as usual, but different from Jacob. He realizes like his Celine looks evasive of his.

does Celine know that I like her?

But because Celine wanted Jacob to be honest, the end opened his voice.

"Guys, we will go home from school to gather yuk.", said Celine

Fanny who heard Celine's words immediately looked at Celine with a confused and shocked look.

"There's something I want to talk to you about. I don't want any trouble between the five of us. We're best friends, we can't cover each other up and keep secrets" Celine said.

Dion and Linda agree to Celine's invitation after school, only Jacob is confused by Celine's words.

***************

After school, Steven was waiting for Celine in the parking lot

"Darling, I didn't come home today. I want to meet you first" said Celine

"Including Jacob?", asked Steven cynically.

"Yes, I don't want any secrets between the five of us" Celine said

"Are you sure, dear?" said Steven, holding Celine's hands

"I'm sure. Trust me," said Celine smiling

"Alright, call me if anything happens" Steven said.

"Yes dear. Be careful on the road" said Celine

"Look, you too, yeah. Later if you have finished calling me, I will pick you up", said Steven who was answered nod by Celine

Celine left Steven and passed towards her friends who had been waiting for her from earlier.

Steven immediately contacted his men to follow Celine in case anything happened.

**************

After ordering a drink, they sat in a corner of the room wide enough for the five of them.

"What are our cels talking about?" asked Dion

"What if you don't get together again?", asked Fanny

"It's not so, just tumben aja, because we have not been hanging out like this for a long time" said Dion

"What is a cel?" asked Linda

Celine smiled and explained

"We five have been in office for a long time, I just think we have a secret that is covered up" said Celine

"What are we hiding? Our feelings are not hiding anything deh cel.", said Linda

"You just ask Jacob", said Fanny to the point because Jacob was just silent.

Jacob who was shot so fixed his flat face. He doesn't want to look groggy. Jacob and Linda looked at Jacob

"What are you hiding?", asked Dion curiously

"Yes, are you hiding what Jacob is?", asked Linda who did not lose

Jacob remained silent, not answering

"Why are you quiet? Do you want to admit if you like Celine all this time??", said Fanny firmly

Linda and Jacob who heard Fanny's words were immediately dumbfounded.

"Are you serious??" asked Linda

"Heh, answer me, don't miss it. Is that really what Fanny said?", asked Dion

Jacob who was cornered finally opened his voice

"Yes I've loved Celine for a long time" Jacob said very clearly

"Jacob we are friends" Linda said

"Yes I know, but am I wrong to keep my feelings to my best friend?", asked Jacob again

"You're not wrong if Celine doesn't have a boyfriend yet, but now Celine has a boyfriend" Linda said

"And do you know? If Jacob who has been spreading photos of Celine circulating in sosmed.", said Fanny again because it is still very upset with Jacob

"What are you??" said Linda and Dion together

While their drink came, they instantly shut their mouths from being too noisy.

"Do you really have any heart? I didn't think you were so Jacob" said Linda, who was disappointed by Jacob's attitude

Celine was silent. His goal was to listen directly to Jacob's intentions

"I did it because I didn't want Celine to be close to another guy" said Jacob, whose voice began to rise

"But you shouldn't be ruining people's relationships especially Celine is our best friend Jacob" said Fanny

"Yes I know" said Jacob

"Cel, I'm sorry you made that mess. I'm totally blind 'cause I like you. I'm sorry cel.", said Jacob, now pleading with Celine.

Celine was silent.
