Love Blocks the Past

CHAPTER 79 ~ Blocked Back ~

Celine went home to rest. By dawn Mikho woke up. After undergoing treatment, the man found himself being treated in the inpatient room of his own health clinic.

Mikho recalled everything that happened before falling unconscious. Once he gets a phone call from Lola informing him of his wife's whereabouts, Mikho immediately leaves for the address Lola gave him. Without lunch, after missing breakfast. The guy didn't even touch dinner before.

There was nothing he liked most but pensively staring at the broken hairpin with the pearls that had been scattered inside the clear box. After Erica handed it to him, Mikho seemed to have something he could look up to. If all this time just staring blankly at anything in front of him now Mikho has something to look at.

However, shortly after that her tears would drip. Mikho regretted, for his cruel attitude towards the girl he had loved for a dozen years. Regretting his attitude of not accepting Celine for who she is.

If I love her I should accept her no matter what. Why is my attitude so selfish, demanding perfection from him? Why am I so arrogant? What are my advantages so Celine can't be deformed in the least? Celine I'm sorry. Forgive me for being this stupid and arrogant, inner Mikho.

Every day regretted his cruel attitude towards Celine. Always imagine how happy the girl when she saw it coming before their marriage. While Mikho had prepared with the letter he had just obtained. It was still clear how Celine's facial expression changed from cheerful to so sad as she read the letter. His tears flowed immediately.

~ Don't cry! I don't need your tears! I just need an explanation. What does that writing mean? The extent of your relationship. Whatever you did with him! ~

Mikho remembered the words he said to Celine. As the girl herself was shaken to read the contents of the letter. When his tears could not be held back until it flowed, Mikho just snapped at him. The girl even jumped upon hearing Mikho's voice so loud.

It was so cruel, how could I do that to him. His body even jumped, so loud was the sound, that he was shocked. Does a man who snaps like that deserve to be your husband? Are you capable of having a husband who is so rude to you? mikho's heart cried.

~ Have you done it with that man? Don't cry, just answer yes or no! What trouble? ~

~ You no longer need your answer! You purposely covered this up from me. I can't live with a woman who's always been secretive with me ~

Nah! Nah! That's not true! The truth is I can't live without you. Celine where are you? I can't live without you Mikho screamed.

~ I will still marry you, but we will part after three months ~ 

Why would I say that? Celine cried at those words. He was sobbing at the stupid decision. I said something I didn't want to do myself. I'm really stupid, I'm so stupid. I made a decision that I couldn't handle myself. Stupid me! Stupid me! I'm sorry Celine. I'm sorry for my stupidity. I'm sorry, Mikho screamed.

Every day weeps for his mistakes until his regrets come too late. The day she decided to accept Celine was precisely the limit to Celine's ability to endure her grief. His wife could no longer bear the sadness of being ignored by her husband.

"Mikho today Nayla–"

"Don't say that name again! Never mention that name again! I won't be betrothed to anyone! I'm married!" mikho snapped at his mother.

"Micho! Don't be like that! Don't be rude to your Mama!" gunawan said back to snarl.

Anisa's mother was even trembling at the sound of her son. Mikho never said rudely let alone snapped at him. It made Miss Anisa shaken. Mikho stood up from the dining table chair and placed the napkin on the dining table. With her tears, it was like begging her mother to no longer match her to another woman.

"I've married Ma. I love my wife. He left because of my mistake. I want him back to me. Now I know what it's like to be pushed around by something unwanted. Now I know what it's like to suffer for making a mistake. I had urged Celine to tell me something she herself might want to forget. I felt what Celine felt. Sorry for making a mistake. It was very painful, very painful! So please Ma, don't add to my suffering. I just want to be with Celine. Mama hates Celine which means Mama wants me to suffer" Mikho said, then stepped back into his room

Mikho did not want to answer Lola's phone call at all. The nurse just wanted her to be active again in the clinic. Until finally Mikho was fixated on staring at the incoming message notification from the nurse at the clinic. Mikho was not sure what he was reading.

'Celine is here' That's enough, the man directly contacted Lola. The doctor even threatened Lola if she lied. Of course wholeheartedly believed the nurse's words because it was the news she wanted so much.

Past the lunch he had been postponed since. Mikho still has the power to drive his car out of town. His great hope of meeting his wife, made the man have the backup power to travel out of the city.

However, what he saw, greatly shook his mind. The woman he loved was with another man. Seeing Celine who had opened her heart to another man, made Mikho forced to stay in his place. Can't blame the girl.

The deadline of the wedding, she herself determined it and Celine just went through as she said.

~ I will keep marrying you, but ... we will part after three months ~

Those three months had long passed and Celine deserved her happiness. Mikho can't do anything. Only deep regret deserved to be felt.

Mikho has absolutely no right to forbid Celine from finding her happiness because Mikho has set a deadline for their marriage. The man staggered backwards. Unable to stare any longer at Celine in the arms of another man. Stepping back to his car until finally feeling the world is getting darker.

Now the man has stepped out of the health clinic. Step by with empty eyes. Every second of his mind was just imagining Celine stepping further and further away from him.

"drs. Mikho's? Wanna go where? Is it better? Let me check first," said Lola directly blocking Mikho from leaving.

"I'm fine Lola," Mikho replied.

"Let me check first," said Lola still forced to check.

"I know my own body condition Lola!" mikho said with a slight snarl.

"Yes! Of course doctors know the health condition of doctors because doctors are experts, but now not only the condition of the doctor's body is sick but the inner doctor as well" said Lola with a worried look.

"How do you know my mind hurts?" ask Mikho.

"You guys just got married but I've been feeling weird about attending your wedding. There are no happy faces of couples who want to live together. Celine and dr. Mikho, you two are forced to run a marriage. I don't know what the problem is, but I know it's gonna make you suffer. Now I have the fact that Celine lives in this village, while the doctor doesn't know she's here. I'm not gonna interfere with the doctor. If the doctor wants to leave, I can't forbid but please don't make me worry about driving in this tired and inward condition" explained Lola at length.

Hearing that Mikho finally resigned, waiting for his body condition to improve until finally strong enough to leave the village. Mikho felt that he and Celine would never be able to unite again because there was now a new barrier. Their love is again stymied and this time Mikho resigns, trying to forget Celine.
