Since her meeting with Darren, young Celine began to think about what it would feel like to have a match and a husband. And ever since then Celine has been praying for the Almighty to give Darren to her. The young girl realized that she had fallen in love at first sight. From the feeling of comfort as well as the vibrations in her chest, that was the first time she felt a special meaning to herself. Even though she was honest in her thoughts, she would be very embarrassed to admit it out loud.
Saturday night, it was said that this was a very long night for young people. Previously, Celine only thought that a weekend's night was the night of freedom, where she could be free to sleep longer, and the most important thing was that she could wake up very late. There is no mandatory routine that she does on Sunday mornings, because she will be free from her two main daily activities, namely work and college.
Hemph enjoyment of the world felt real when Celine could sleep longer.
But today was different, today was the day she had been looking forward to since a few days ago, to be more precise since she had met Darren.
In fact, she had already prepared clothes, shoes and a bag that she would use later tonight. You could say she had been prepping as if it was her first date.
'Is it true, tonight is my first date?' Celine asked repeatedly in her heart.
But .... even when the night neared, there was no sign of the man in the question. Since this morning, he didn't send a single text, even though it was already 07 in the evening and Celine was already getting ready for everything.
Celine waited in hope, she didn't want to allow her mind to think negatively. "Maybe he's busy, maybe he's stuck in traffic, maybe he's on the road." That's what Celine was trying to think.
Until the time had passed 10 Pm, in other words, it was already 10 pm. But the one who she was waiting for didn't come to pick her up, he didn't even bothered to send a message. Celine was very disappointed, she poured out all her disappointment in the form of tears. The light make-up that wasn't too flashy was already very messy due to her crying. She accidentally missed a special dinner with her family for today's appointment.
"I should have known from the start, that he was never serious. Why should I get my hopes up?" said Celine, crying.
Feeling tired of crying, she fell asleep.
Kring .... Kring !!!
The sound of the incoming call woke Celine who was just about to fall asleep. Without seeing the name on his cellphone screen, she immediately answered the call.
On Phone Call-
Celine: "Hemph ... Hello?"
Darren: "Where are you now? What's with your voice? Are you crying?"
The voice was immediately recognized by Celine, with reflex she immediately sat down and saw the name who was calling her.
'Damn!!! If I had known that he was the one calling me, I wouldn't have answered,' Celine cursed.
Darren: "Why are you silent? You are fine, right?"
Celine: "Do you really hope that I am not in a good condition?"
Darren: "Nonsense!! Of course not. Why are you so sensitive? I was just asking!"
Celine: "Dear Mr. Darren, I am in very good condition! Since you already know my situation and since it is very late, it is better to end this call. I want to sleep."
'Instead of apologizing, he is asking about my condition! Does he really wish for me to suffer!!!' Celine thought.
Darren: "I-I want to apologize for not coming to pick you up today, I had a sudden business that I didn't have time to tell you. I hope you will forgive me."
"..." Celine fell silent.
It was not that she didn't want to understand the reason Darren said, but she felt deeply hurt that her first date failed before it even started.
Even if their appointment was canceled, at least Darren could tell her earlier, so that she didn't have to wait for so long and embarrass herself in front of her parents. They were the most important people in her life, and she didn't wish to let them down in her life.
Darren: "You are silent. That means you don't believe me?"
Celine: "Emph ... no, that's not it. I mean, I have no right to be angry at you."
Darren: "Why are you talking like that? You have complete rights over me. This incident is completely beyond my expectations. I'm really sorry."
Darren's voice sounded very regretful.
'Why does this guy like to talk so much nonsense, didn't he realize what he just said? What right do I have over him? Why can he speak so fluently when he says I have the rights over him. Why was my first love so bad,' Celine thought.
She really had no interest in retaliating against Darren's bullshit.
* tut * Celine hung up the call.
