Today Celina wants to visit Mia at her house. She dressed in her dressy style, wearing a black hoodie top with shorts. I won't see Leo either, he thought.
As he walked down the stairs his phone rang. Celina saw who called. Kris, that's on the front screen.
"Hello?"
"Are you busy today?"
"Little, why?"
"I wanted to take you to lunch together."
"It seems that it can't. I promised I'd have lunch with my friend."
"Woman?"
"What?"
"Your friend. Is she a woman."
Celina chuckles.
"It's none of your business, she's a woman or a man." Then he decided on the call unilaterally. Making Kris over there smile with anxiety about Celina's behavior.
Celina continued her steps then went to the kitchen to pick up the mango pudding that her servant had prepared according to his orders. She heard Mia was often nauseous and had trouble eating, so she took the initiative to give Mia something fresh and sweet.
Celina drives her car at a moderate speed. His mood was pretty good today.
***
Leo drives his car to Devan's house, because again Devan does not enter the office and there is a document that Devan himself must sign. The reason is still the same, which is not the heart to leave Mia. Though at that time he saw Mia was fine, and Mia said that she was not that weak until she had to wait for Devan all day. Leo became suspicious, if it turns out that the one who experienced morning sickness is Devan himself.
Leo frowned when he saw a foreign car parked in front of Devan's house. Looks like it just stopped because the lights are still on.
The steering wheel of the car opened, looking like a short-haired woman came out from there. The sunglasses perched on his nose protected those beautiful eyes from the sunlight. The woman walked to the passenger door and picked up something she could see was a clear box. Maybe a cake, I don't know.
Celina is unaware of Leo's car. He stepped towards the door that had been opened by the servant.
Leo followed in Celina's footsteps with a pause of a few minutes to make it invisible that he had been there since.
"China!!" Mia who was waiting for Celina in the living room immediately welcomed Celina's arrival. He stepped closer to Celina.
"Be careful honey!" Devan reminded when he saw Mia walking fast.
"Mia, how are you?"
"I'm good. How's yours?"
"Can't be better."
"Thank God, I'm glad you're back."
"Me too's. Here, I hear you can't eat heavy food so I make mango pudding."
"Waahh, thanks. I'll eat it later." Mia handed the pudding box to the waiter.
"Made or made by a chef?" Cibir Devan's.
"Dev!" Mia glares at Devan.
"Of course it's made by the chef, if I make it then I can't guarantee the safety of your wife and child." Celina sarcasm replied.
"Here you go, let's sit." Mia pulled Celina's hand to sit down.
"You're gonna keep it here?" syndicate Celina.
"Why indeed?"
"No."
Mia could only smile at the small sighs of her husband and best friend.
"Dev!" Leo came in without warning.
Celina immediately turned her eyes away from Leo. He was determined to ignore Leo.
"What's wrong?" ask Devan.
"There's a document you need to sign."
"Come to my workroom." Devan breezed into his study, and Leo followed. As soon as it passed Mia and Celina she slightly glanced at Celina but the woman did not look at her at all. Inwardly she asked, how in a few days Celina was so changed. He never came to her again, nor did he contact her.
In the living room, Mia noticed the movements of Celina and Leo. Little did he know of Leo-Celina's relationship with Devan, but when she saw him immediately it was like not believing those who used to be so friendly beyond her affection with Devan was now so cold even to just greet each other.
"We talked upstairs?" bring Mia.
"All right come on."
Mia and Celina ascended the stairs towards the lounge on the second floor. The comfortable atmosphere immediately Celina felt as soon as she entered the room. The room is arguably like a mini version of a greenhouse, many plants lined up to fill almost the entire room.
Mia and Celina sat on a sofa in the corner of the room. The roof in this section is closed, not made of glass so it does not make glare or heat.
"Where is your relationship with Leo?"
"As you can see, we're like strangers."
"Why can?"
"I don't know. Before I went to America, we were fine. He even promised to see me there often, but even if he didn't see me."
Mia frowned hearing that.
"But Cel, the week before Devan and I got married, she went to see you."
"What did you say?"
"He went to America to see you. He said he wanted to take you to our wedding. But, two days later he came back and told me you couldn't attend."
"Whatchu mean? I've never met Leo at all in America."
Celina thought about what really happened.
"I want to ask Leo directly." Celina stood up then walked quickly down the stairs.
"Where's Leo?" celina asked Devan who looked out of a room.
"He's out."
Without another word, Celina immediately ran out of the house to chase after Leo. But outside Leo's car is almost out of the gate of Devan's house. With a breath of breath Celina stared at the departure of the disappointed Leo.
"What's really going on?" Devan asked Celina. He followed her because he wanted to know what was really going on.
"Is it true that Leo has been to America?"
"Yes. Why why?"
"Then what did he say when he came home?" He wants to confirm the truth again.
"She said you didn't want to attend our wedding." Just like Mia said.
"There's no way I won't come!" Celina raised her intonation.
"I know. But every time I ask her the real reason she's always dodging even anger."
Celina and Devan were both silent. We both think about what really happened. What truth is Leo hiding.
"I'd better go home. Say my apologies to Mia."
Devan nodded. "Okay, be careful."
"Speak to Leo when he's ready, don't force him" Devan said as Celina opened her car door.
"Yes, I know." Then Celina left the courtyard of Devan's house.
