Huft
Mr. Shane breathed a rough sigh after Camelia and Dion came out of the library.
"My husband, didn't you think it was too much?"asked Madame Shane, in a hoarse voice. Her heart was shaken at the look Camelia had just looked at.
"Our daughter looks so shaken. As a mother as well as a woman, I felt her feelings, my husband. It's heavy."
Mrs Shane splashed in Mr. Shane's arms. Mr. Shane rubbed his face rough then patted his wife's back gently to calm her down.
"I know .. but, that's the decision I have to make, Honey."
"For me, it's not easy either. Looking at the grim face of our daughter, my heart hurts so much. However, I also have to maintain this family."
Mr. Shane's eyes were reddened. It seems that the decision they took today was not difficult for Camelia but for both of them.
"We don't have any more offspring, Honey. I'm sorry if I was selfish, making you and our daughter sad." Mr. Shane kisses Mrs Shane's head gently.
"Mrs Shane did not answer. He drowned in sobs.

Bugh!
Camelia immediately sat down limp after arriving at her room. Her tears are melting. He could bear not to cry.
I'm just sad .. I don't want to cry. But, why won't my tears stop?!
Camelia's hand rested on the bed and her head hid between the two hands. His cry sounded soft, like being held back. However, it increasingly made his chest tight.
Camelia then looked up. Tears still dripping. Camelia squeezed her chest.
Tok
Tok
"Sir .. I'm in?" That's Dion. Camelia turned her head towards the door.
Camelia then got up, walked limp in to open the door. Before opening the door, Camelia wiped her tears. Adjust his breath so that his chest does not feel tight anymore.
But still, he was still trembling.
"Sister." Dion hugged his brother as soon as the door opened.
"D-Dion."
"Cry, Brother. Don't get arrested" said Dion, shrewdly.
"D-Dion .. huhuhu, I'm so sad. It's so heavy" cried Camelia. Yeah, all Camelia needs now is a shoulder to lean on.
"Cry, Brother. Get everything out." Dion patted Camelia's back lightly.
The young man, not sad. His eyes were red as he cried.
This situation is complicated. They are trapped in an endless charade, also caught in a debt of gratitude to the Shane family. Today is the impact of the decisions that have been taken.
Long enough, Camelia spilled her grief.
Once satisfied, Camelia and Dion head to the sofa. Dion got Camelia some drinking water. Pointing it out so that her brother was much calmer.
"Destiny is unpredictable, brother. What we plan is sometimes not the same as God's plan" Dion said, exhaling harshly.
For him it might not be too much of a problem. Moreover, it is not heavy. That woman must be in a dilemma.
"What do I do, Dion? I intend to get married so that my children do not lose the figure of a father. However, if I get married and they don't come with me, isn't my marriage worth nothing? Wouldn't it be better for me not to be in a new relationship let alone getting married?"camelia said after being quite calm.
Dion silent. Not directly answer. It was a very difficult question for her to answer because it concerned her brother's future.
"What to do, Dion?" Camelia shook Dion's arm.
"Sister…."
"I can't say anything, Brother," Dion replied, looking down.
"Because ..all decisions are in your hands. Brother wants to get married or not, it is the decision of brother himself. I have no right to interfere in it" continued Dion. Now staring at the brother who was looking at him was complicated.
Yeah, her brother must be getting into a dilemma. However, difficult and tough decisions like this were also not their first time taking.
"I'm sure you can deal with it. And brother, I will always support your decision, whatever it is" Dion said. His eyes radiate a million affections to his older brother. Smile so that the brother smiles too.
"Dion…." Camelia was very touched. His sister was always there for him. Always be supportive and be the place to lean.
"Thank you, Dion." Back, the sister and brother hugged.
"Don't be too burdened, brother. Destiny no one knows. But, we can paint our own destiny. Three more years, that's quite a long time. That year, Lucas and Liam will grow up. They will get used to it without a father present. They can be a consideration for your brother but do not make them a burden. Brother .. You deserve to be happy."
The reason for marrying Chris was Lucas and Liam. Dion hopes that if his brother marries again, he will not only think of Lucas and Liam's happiness but also his own.
"Sister .. don't be sad. We're going through together."
Camelia nodded slowly. Her feelings were much more relieved after crying and exchanging thoughts with Dion.
"Then, sister clean up. Dinner soon. You look so fucked up. Your eyeliner is a mess" Dion said with a serious face.
"really?" Camelia looked surprised. Hurry up, he's headed for the dresser.
"Dion you lied to me! Waterproof eyeliner!"camelia said in annoyance, looking back and finding Dion had run away.
"Dion!!!"cranky Camelia with an annoyed smile.
Outside the room, Dion smiled and shook his head slowly. "Basar woman, said make up mess immediately panic." Then step towards her room to clean up for dinner.

"I find the atmosphere strange." Lucas whispered to Liam who was sitting next to him. Right now, they are gathering for dinner.
Even though Camelia was displaying her usual facial features, as well as Mr and Mrs Shane, they still felt something different.
"Ehem." Mr. Shane cleared his throat slowly.
"Come, eat. Why stay quiet like this?"ask Mr. Shane.
"Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, are you guys in trouble? This atmosphere is a bit different ...," Lucas said.
"What's different, Lucas?" Dion answered.
"Are we not all sitting here together?"added with a smile.
"Come, Uncle." Lucas also doesn't know what's different.
"Maybe it's just my feeling, Uncle," Lucas replied with a smile showing his row of white teeth.
Camelia smiled, "nothing different, Lucas. There's not a bit of." Camelia looked gently at Lucas and Liam, alternating.
"Let's eat. Your stomach is all ringing, "attended Mrs Shane with a joke. Mr. Shane laughed, and so did Dion. Camelia just smiled.

"Hey, Liam," called Lucas as the two were in the room. Prepare to sleep.
"Hm." Liam called out the night. His eyes have been closed.
"You felt the same way, right?"lucas asked, changing positions to sit facing Liam.
"Hm." It was like muttering again.
"I feel like something happened during our sleep" Lucas said.
"You feel it, don't you? Besides, did you realize that Mom was crying" Lucas asked again.
"I'm not a child anymore, Lucas," Liam replied, gruntingly.
Both kids, sensitive kids.
"About what happened?"
Liam shakes. "You know, Mom is good at hiding her wounds and feelings" Liam replied. Understand the character of the mother.
"Should we find out?"
"Let's just. We'll know by ourselves" Liam replied again.
"But I'm very curious. Until Mom cried so."
"Sleep, Lucas. Tomorrow we'll be busy" said Liam.
"You're not cool!"annoyed Lucas.
Liam didn't bully him. He closed his eyes again.
Though upset, inevitably, Lucas is sleepy. In the end, the boy fell asleep.
After Lucas went to sleep, Liam opened his eyes. "If Mom wants to and is ready for sure she will tell her own story" muttered Liam, closing her eyes again and now completely asleep.
