'See...!! What did I say, nothing would be good if I meet this guy. Even though he was very handsome, still he always got me in trouble,' thought Celine.
"Ehhh .." - Celine bit her lip - "Can't we discuss it tomorrow, or some other time. It's very late," pleaded Celine.
"You can ... if you allow me to take you home. We can discuss our problem another time!!"
Celine widened her eyes. "Is there such a condition?"
"Of course there is, I made those. Because you have made me suffer of loss, so you must obey me as a form of accountability."
"But ... at first glance this condition sounds favorable to me. That is if you have no other intentions." Celine answered.
'Stupid! Of course it doesn't just benefit you, I also feel really at a disadvantage if you are unwilling to come home with me. Somehow, ever since I saw your smile, I feel like I have to know you deeply,' Darren thought.
"Hemph ... about other intentions, of course I have. I want to know where the house of the person who has brought me loss, and if she intends to run away, then it will be easier to catch up."
"What? Do you think I'm an irresponsible person?" cried Celine. "Wait a minute, it means that it was true that sir was stalking me on purpose!" Celine guessed.
"If you call me sir, your debt will increase even more!" Darren replied arrogantly.
"Uh, sorry."
Celine immediately apologized, even though she herself didn't know what kind of mistake she had made by calling him 'sir'.
"Come on, why are you still standing there? Didn't you say it was very late yourself?" said Darren, immediately walking away from her.
Celine started trailing behind him, without even realizing it herself.
"So is it true-" Celine quickly stopped her words. "Uh I mean Darren. Why are you following me to this extent?"
"I'm not stalking you, tonight's meeting is genuinely by chance."
"Then what were you doing here?"
"The one who should ask questions like that is me. What are you doing here so late at night?"
Celine stuck out her tongue. "Without me saying too, surely you already know why I was here."
"Didn't you say, you don't intend to continue school?"
"Hemph ... I lied at that time," Celine replied sullenly, she was very embarrassed to be caught lying.
"So after you are done with work, you go to school?" asked Darren.
Celine just nodded as an answer.
"Aren't you tired?" he asked again.
"Is that a question or statement?" Celine turned around asking.
"Uh, sorry, but to be honest, I'm really amazed to see you. You work at a very young age and also while in college,"
"This is nothing new, many of my friends do what I'm doing."
They both spent the entire ride talking and still felt that time flew very fast. Within no time, they are already in front of Celine's house.
"My house is here. You know where my house is, my place of work, my campus. So it's impossible for me to run away, right?" said Celine.
A hint of disappointment could be seen on Darren's face, to realize that his time with Caline would end up here tonight.
"Hemph ... it turns out that your house is very close," he said, wanting to show his disappointment.
"Close? We've driven for about 50 minutes from my campus to my house. Is it still close?" asked Celine innocently. The girl didn't understand what Darren meant at all.
"50 minutes? Really?" asked Darren, unaware that the elapsed time had been nearly an hour.
"It's natural because we've been talking, so time doesn't seem like it has passed," said Celine. "Thank you Darren, for taking me along. Good evening,"
"Good evening," Darren replied.
Just as Celine was about to step down, Darren called her back.
"Celine ...!"
"Yes?"
"Don't forget, Saturday night, you have to meet me. If you want, I can pick you up from your house, here!" He said.
"Fine, I'll text later," Celine replied before getting off.
When Celine wanted to close the car door, Darren called her again.
"Celine ...?"
"Yes, what else?"
"Hemmpphhh... nothing. Uh I mean, the spirit continues."
Celine just smiled sweetly as a reply to Darren's words.
"And ... good night," the man continued.
"Is there anything else? Let me know before I leave," Celine teased, she thought Darren's attitude was very strange but she liked it too.
Darren smiled as he played one eye. "Go on, I won't get in your way anymore."
Celine went home with a cheerful heart.
