TRAUMA LOVE
#16
Rhys slept so well. After he had a fight with Celine in the restroom she was in, Rhys left her and returned to his own room. He immediately spread his body and fell asleep easily.
While Celine, she could not close her eyes at all. His heart felt very agitated. He turned from left to right and back to left, but still his eyes were difficult to shut.
Until finally he fell asleep when the time has shown at 4 am. At 5 a.m., he had to get up and work again.

Celine, who was now standing behind a pillar, felt pain and bitterness simultaneously. Several police officers came to the Alban Family residence and said that Dad Harry had an accident.
The police came there because there was no one in Matteo's house. All they can know is that Dad Harry works for the Alban Company. Since the company was closed due to the year-end holiday, the police came to the Alban Family Residence.
“Dad!!” shout Celine.
He held the hand of one of the policemen and shook it.
“Tell me it's all not true. Where is Dad? I want to meet him! Quickly tell me where's Daddy?!” Celine seemed to lose her mind. His cheeks were already crying and he could not hide his sadness.
“Ahhhh!!! Quickly tell me!!” Celine screamed again and approached the other police.
Rhys who woke up to Celine's voice came down to ask what happened.
“What is this?” ask Rhys.
“We came here to inform you that there has been an accident involving one of the employees in Alban Company named Harry Matteo. He we found on the edge of the city with a state of lifelessness,” explained the police.
“Takkk!!! Dad is not dead! Tell me it's a lie!!!” celine shouted and she shook the body of the policeman who had just given Rhys an explanation.
“Celine!” shout Rhys. Rhys's voice made Celine speechless, now only a sobbing sound was heard and Celine's body fell to the floor.
“Dad ..”

Eventually Celine goes along with Rhys to the police station to make sure that the victim of the accident is Harry Matteo.
The cold air made Celine wear a very thick jacket. His body was thinner than before, making the jacket look so big on his body.
They passed through several police desks and down the corridor until they finally arrived in front of a room.
The policeman opened the door and accompanied the two inside. A gurney with a body bag on it, made Celine's body shake. He wanted to meet Dad Harry, but not in this situation.
Celine walked forward, daring to stand right next to the gurney. Slowly Celine's hand held the zipper. The vibration of his body even to the hands, making it a little difficult to open the body bag zipper.
Rhys' heart suddenly became heartless. He walked over to Celine and helped her open it.
Srettts
Seeing Dad Harry's face in the body bag, Celine was no longer able to hold back her tears. He immediately hugged Dad Harry and spread his head over the middle-aged man's chest.
“Dad ... hiks .. why did Dad leave Celine? Return Dad. Celine promised not to ask for anything more. Celine will obey whatever Dad asks. Build Dad!”
Rhys who saw Celine crying, immediately brought the woman into his arms, “don't cry again, there I.”
Rhys stroked Celine's back, calming the woman down.
Rhys held onto Celine's shoulder and took her out. They signed the report and will soon bring Dad Harry home for burial.

The coldness of Helsinki City added to the chill of Celine's current feeling. Wearing a black suit and a white coat, he stood in front of Dad Harry's grave.
His face, which was now looking straight at the tomb, looked so cold and flat. No more tears to wet his cheeks. He was tired, he lost his first love.
When the others came back, but not with him. He stood there, doing nothing. From a distance, Rhys looked at him from inside the car.
His head hurt again because he recalled the death of Mom Diana and Dad Dave. At a glance inside her head appeared the shadow of Celine who was running around with such a beautiful smile.
He shook his head to eliminate everything on his mind. He also called his personal assistant.
“Finn, call him. Take her home.”
“Alright,” says Finn.
Finn walked up to Celine, “Celine, Rhys called you. He took you home.”
Celine shut up, then turned slowly to Finn, “go home first. I still want to be here with Dad and Mom.”
“Cannot. Rhys asked you to get in the car and go home. You can come back here later. The sky is getting dark and it looks like snow is coming back down.”
Celine crouched down and held the ground where Dad Harry was, “Dad, I came home. I promise to come here often.”
Celine eventually follows Finn to the car where Rhys is. Finn opened the back door and Celine came in.
On the way home, no sound came out of Celine's lips. She kept looking out the window and was busy with her own world. Rhys who was next to her, occasionally turned his head, he knew very well how Celine was feeling at the moment, because he had felt it.

“It's done.”
Celine receives a map from Alice, the night after she returns home from Dad Harry's funeral. Celine accepted it and thanked Alice for the help she gave.
“Thank you very much for your help.”
“Sama-sama. But ... You still need Rhys' signature to validate it,” Alice said.
“Yes, I know. I'll ask for it later. Once again thank you.”
“I go back to the room first. If there's anything else you need, come to my room.”
“Ya,” says Celine with a thin smile.
After Alice leaves, Celine opens the map and smiles, “I'll set you free. And I will also give you all that you desire. I don't want anything anymore right now.”
Celine took the ballpoint pen and put her signature on the letter. Then he kept the letter in the closet in his room. He will give it at the right time.
