Love Blocks the Past

CHAPTER 56 ~ Departure ~

The day of Yosi's departure arrived. Celine drove the teenager to the airport. Mikho often felt jealous of Celine's concern for the fifteen-year-old.

"Why rush to take care of his departure. You even spent a lot of time just taking care of that kid. I was so often neglected" Mikho said again sulking.

"Sorry Brother Mikho, uh Yayang Mikho but .. I have to do it. Yosi has to change schools soon. Yayang Mikho, have you ever felt, what was it like to enter school with everyone's gaze fixed on Mikho? Once inside the school gate, it felt like going to hell. Don't know what's going to happen but .. can never imagine a better day. Feeling so depressed that you might wish that day were dead? I–"

"Celine .. I'm sorry! At least I don't mean to remind you of the time in school first," said Mikho while cupping the face of the girl he loved.

"I know, it's not about me. It's about Yosi. News about his corrupt father, his mother who is a money laundry suspect or his brother who is a fraud, kidnapper, pem .. what can you do? According to Kak Mikho, can he go to school normally as usual with the news that has been spread about his family? Can his school friends treat him–"

"Alright .. well baby, I understand," said Mikho at last.

"Don't be jealous anymore? If he's gone, I'm all yours–"

"really? Why does it sound so tempting?" ask Mikho. 

Celine laughs. The girl immediately hugged the man. Celine is whatever happens. He has promised to be strong for his mother and father. It will not be easy to give up life even though it is bitter, although difficult. Celine will try to live it.

"You crying? What's up, Celine? Darling?" ask Mikho.

Can I hear words like this all my life? What if you can't accept my flaws? What if I'm stained? Are you still asking me that? Is that still how you ask me? Inner Celine, the longer she could not hold back her cries.

"Hey ... What's wrong? Do you remember the school days? I'm sorry, honey. I didn't mean to remember you about that. I ... was just asking that question. I know it's not your will to ignore me. I have no problem helping the boy either. Celine, I'm sorry, okay?" mikho asked while wiping away Celine's tears.

However, each time it was removed, the tears returned. Mikho was overwhelmed at removing it. Celine already wanted to ease her cries but still couldn't. Always imagined, the problems that haunt him now will make them completely separated. Remembering that her tears will come back.

"I suck it up if so, let it run out quickly," said Mikho directly pasted his lips into Celine's eyes. The girl directly pushed Mikho's body.

"Nothing tastes good, savory!" mikho.

Celine laughed, Mikho also smiled. The man pulled the girl's hand back. Take him into his arms. After Yosi's departure, Mikho wishes the girl would talk about their marriage.

That day came, not only did Celine deliver Yosi, Mikho also took the boy. The man promised never to be jealous of Yosi again. However, remaining vigilant, Celine knew because it was letting the man with her to the airport.

Celine, on the grounds of pity, came home alone from the airport. The man just wanted to accompany Celine who came home alone. The girl laughed at the reason the handsome man.

"I'm not lying. I'm not jealous, I just don't want to see you and Yosi alone" he said.

"That's why it's called jealousy" whispered Celine.

"No! Just don't want to see you two alone," Mikho replied.

Celine laughed, finally the three of them went to the airport. Waiting for Yosi's departure schedule. After checking in, Yosi returns to meet Celine and Mikho who escorted her. They wait until the time to leave.

"Anyone is thirsty? I want to buy a drink" asked Mikho to Celine and Yosi.

Both of them nodded. Mikho smiled then went to buy drinks and snacks. During the wait, the girl gave a lot of advice to Yosi. The man nodded then bowed, rubbing his eyes with his index finger and thumb.

"Why you?" ask Celine. Yosi.

"You don't want to go? You will not force me if you do not want to. We can cancel your departure, no problem. We go home se–"

"No Brother! I'm leaving. Really!" yosi said quickly.

"Why are you crying? Remember your parents? Your brother?" ask Celine. Yosi nodded still shedding tears.

"I'm sorry, you can't wait for your mother and sister's hearing" Celine said.

"It's not Brother. I don't remember them for not being able to attend the hearing. But ... I .. have a family that doesn't care about me all this time, at my will. They are busy thinking about themselves. I've never received the attention that Sister Celine gave me before. Sometimes I think my family is actually them or sister Celine. Why can other people pay more attention to me than my own family" Yosi said, sobbing.

"Never have such a thought. They love you, but in their own way. Your father was looking for a certain fortune for his children, not even caring about it in the right or wrong way. Your mother looks indifferent, but look, she conceived you, gave birth to you, kept you from being a baby to being the handsome young man you are today. Believe that! If your mother didn't care about you, when you were a baby, you might have starved to death because you weren't given breast milk. Not going to school until high school because it is not registered or everywhere not wearing clothes because it is not bought clothes," said Celine with a smile. Yosi laughing.

"Just be grateful for what there is. Compared to your mother, Brother Celine's concern for you is not much. It's just that you don't realize it" said Celine reminding the child to always be grateful to his parents.

Yosi nodded, before long Mikho came and directly distributed the drinks. The man sat back next to Celine. Sometimes looking back. Celine was astonished to see Mikho's behavior.

"What's wrong, Mikho?" ask Celine.

"Oh, that was me meeting with Erica" Mikho said.

"What?" celine asked in surprise.

"I wonder, why these days like to see Erica often? Before showing up at your party, it felt like she never looked–"

"Eye often? Where's where?" ask Celine astonished.

"I don't know if it was him, but it's like I saw him in court. Maybe it's just similar. You could say more than once I saw him in court. Because I'm far away so unsure. But I was sure it was true, because I greeted him. He's standing behind a pole" explained Mikho.

Remember when you are done buying snacks and drinks. Mikho was about to return to where Celine and Yosi were waiting. However, he suddenly saw a girl similar to Erica was peeking around behind a pole.

"Erica!" call Mikho.

Erica was startled and immediately turned to look at Mikho. Now the man was absolutely certain that it was Erica. Mikho immediately approached the confused-looking girl.

"What are you doing here?" ask Mikho.

"I ... I .. I was waiting for a friend to leave" Erica replied.

"Have you ever been to court?" mikho asked immediately to dispel his curiosity.

"I? Why am I going to court?" erica asked back.

"Who are you peeking at?" mikho asked and stood in the position where Erica was standing and stared into the girl's eyes.

"You're stalking Celine?" mikho asked with accusations.

"Celine .. I didn't know Celine was here? I just wanted to see my friend go, uh, actually my ex-boyfriend," Erica said, saying leave and leave. 

"Erica!"

Erica's footsteps stopped. However, not looking at all. Just a little quiet.

"Just look. If I find out you're bad for Celine again. I'll drag you to jail" Mikho threatened.

Then leave that place. Erica turned her body to look at the back of the man who was moving away. Stepping towards Celine and Yosi who were waiting.

"I want to take you to the police station. If there are not many people, if not you? I must have dragged him to the police station!" mikho said a little emotion.

"Why?" ask Yosi.

"He recorded a video of Tiara insulting Celine. Connected with Yodi, your brother, then spread the video footage. Makes Celine feel devastated even barely wanting to kill herself–"

"Sister!"

Celine stopped Mikho from continuing his words. For Celine, the story is not good to hear by Yosi because it could be a bad lesson for the child. Mikho stopped telling stories then, opened his can of drink and gulped it down.

The man could not forgive Erica's actions. It was because of the girl that Celine was re-shaken and Yodi appeared as a defender and then got rid of her. Hearing Mikho's story, Yosi was downcast and moody. Celine who saw the change in look on the child's face was immediately astonished and asked.

"You why Yosi?" ask Celine.

"It's okay, brother. I ... just didn't think. Tega once hurt people as well as Kak Celine," replied the teenage boy.

"That would hurt a good person would be a bad person" Mikho said.

Yosi was back down. Shortly thereafter a call for passengers on the plane that became Yosi's flight was announced. Celine immediately asked the teenager to come in. Yosi immediately hugged Celine and said goodbye with teary eyes.

"Don't worry, Big Brother will contact Papa's friend there soon. You will be picked up and stay with them. They're good people. Don't worry yeah. Brother will often contact you," said Celine encouraging the teenage boy.

Yosi nodded, after saying goodbye to Mikho and thanking them. Yosi stepped inside the airport. Celine waved her hand with a smile for Yosi to leave with a happy heart.

Yosi leaves, Mikho immediately holds the hand of the girl he loves. They stepped into the car park to return home. Just as Mikho drove his car out of the international departure terminal, Celine felt her phone shake.

The girl was shocked when she received a message from Yosi. Celine immediately read the boy's message.

~ Brother Celine, please forgive my sister, Erica ~

Celine was startled but tried to hold back her reaction. Trying to be as reasonable as possible, so that Mikho is not surprised, asked and became riled up. Yosi's face was shaded when he heard Mikho's story when he told his sister's actions.
