Hearing the news and knowing Darren's identity, Sihar was immediately filled with anger and turned off the TV.
"So, again and again, he's the one who always makes my daughter cry? Why did he even come back in the first place?" shrieked Sihar.
"What's wrong, Papa? Why are you angry?" asked Ririn, Sihar's wife and Celine's mother.
"The man is back," said Sihar shortly.
"Man? Who?"
"Celine's first boyfriend, Darren." Sihar exhaled roughly. "And earlier Celine came home with swollen eyes. Papa is very sure that it must be because of that man!"
"Papa, don't get prejudiced first, that's not good. We better ask Celine to know what's actually wrong," said Ririn.
"It's been 3 years, why did he come back again and why our daughter can't be separated from his shadow? Even though Celine could forget him easily because several young men did chased after her, but why couldn't Celine accept any one of them and can't open her heart to other people?" Sihar voiced out his thoughts
Seeing his daughter suffer like that was a huge burden for him. All he ever wanted was the happiness of his children. Especially Celine, that innocent girl would never share her sadness with anyone and it made Sihar as a father feel very worried.
"Papa, Celine is no longer a child. Let her resolve her problems by herself," said Ririn.
"Then, should I just stay quiet when I see my daughter being hurt by another man?"
"..."
Ririn was silent, she really didn't want anyone to hurt her daughter, but won't you find things like that common in love? And as a parent, he just needed to wish his children the best.
"We don't have to be silent, but we also can't force everything, except if we share with each other and we will give directions and views to her," explained Ririn after being silent for a while.
"Waiting for Celine to open up herself is impossible."
Sihar rubbed his face, not knowing what to do to save Celine's feelings.
Celine went to work as usual, even though she felt that her steps were heavy, but she was someone who was persistent and very professional. Any feeling could never mix up with her working conditions. That was what made Celine Kuan's achievements soaring in the world of work.
"Celine ..." said Abdi, General manager of Celine.
"Uh ... Good morning sir," said Celine, looking up at her boss.
Abdi smiled, "Yes, good morning too," he replied. "I want to ask, what time did you go back to home last night? And why didn't you tell me? I looked for you around the party banquet, but you were not there," he continued.
"I'm sorry, sir. Suddenly I felt uneasy, and when I wanted permission to go home, I saw that you were very serious in talking to other clients, and I was afraid that I would disturb you," said Celine.
"Were you sick last night?" asked Abdi.
"Ah, just a little unwell."
"Why didn't you tell me, I could have taken you home."
"I told you already, you were hanging out with several clients. He he he ..."
"It's just a small talk and it wouldn't matter if you come and tell me your condition," replied Abdi.
"Oh, I don't know." Celine said like she was feeling pitiful.
"Okay, it's okay. Oh yes, the meeting with the client from the Bagus Group company in a few, what about the proposal?" asked Abdi.
"Everything is in order, sir. Now it's just waiting for the meeting hour."
"Good. You were always reliable," said Abdi. He went back to his seat after checking the meeting proposal.
"Hufff ... fortunately Mr. Abdi is not angry. If he gets angry because I just left without informing him, it will get complicated," muttered Celine.
Just when Celine thought of busying herself with work, her cell phone vibrated suddenly.
"Who would dare contact me during my office working hours?" cursed Celine.
She didn't want to rush to find out who was making her cell phone vibrate.
However, it seemed that the caller did not want to give up and keep on ringing Celine's cell phone up.
Annoyed, Celine whipped her cellphone out wanting to look at the screen, to see the name on it. She had planned to scold the caller who was bothering her while she was seriously working.
However, as soon as she saw the name on it, she became gloomy. She didn't want to continue her initial plan on scolding that person.
"Why did he call me? As a worker himself, he should know that now is working hours! Not that he used to be, working at work, and playing while playing," cried Celine.
