#25. Cecilia

Hi, how are you guys today? Hope you all right. It was Friday, Happy weekend

 

Katherine still silenced Richard after the last time, when he should not have done that. There's no way that Richard and Liliana have any particular feelings, right? It seems so ridiculous. But, it all made Katherine jealous and silenced Richard. Let's just say this is a reply to the man, and yes, a small reason to run away from the man for a moment.

“You'll keep quieting me?” ask Richard. The man is in his room right now, they're discussing one of the financial statements that the finance manager has just issued.

Yes, of course they still work in the same room. How else do they have to work? Katherine had to be professional to deal with all that, otherwise it was a waste that she had been doing all this time by silencing the man.

“I found an awkwardness on the twenty-fifth, try to check, I'm not sure why it could be like that.”

Richard didn't like it if he didn't understand anything, and then put it like this. I don't know which part he's wrong, Katherine should have told him to fix it. Ah, he forgot, this woman doesn't like him very much either. It could, right, all happen because of accident.

“You intentionally did this?” ask Richard.

“You've found what's awkward?” ask Katherine.

Both looked. Nobody wants to give up. “Stop being childish and tell me what's wrong?” asked Richard coldly.

Katherine was unafraid to see that cold face. It is impossible to clearly say if jealous of the closeness of Richard and Liliana, can be big head surely Richard later. “That bet, I couldn't wait for him for six months,” Katherine said. He couldn't find a better word than this.

Richard raised both of his eyebrows questioningly, and looked at Katherine intently. “You are afraid of falling in love with me, or have you fallen in love with me?” ask Richard amusedly. There was a mischievous smile in her eyes as she began to know the matter that Katherine was talking about.

“Why are you so confident once?”

“Because that's what's going on. You don't want to admit it? Your body always gives a very clear reaction when it is around me. All of that just happened.” Richard raised his shoulders indifferently. He really enjoyed the woman's face that began to blush, this time he was childish, but it was all very interesting.

“So?” katherine lirih. There's no way that woman would just shut up, would she? Not really Katherine. “But I can't just love one man. You know, I can pick out jerks like you out there with no problem. I can't just love you.”

“What is this recognition?” ask Richard.

“Not you should know about your fiancee? This is what I am, and then you wish I could love you like the story of Romeo and Juliet?”

Richard didn't understand where this conversation was going, he also knew how hard Katherine was doing. He was very stubborn and never agreed to anything, that's why, he will conquer Katherine who already loves him. He just needs this woman's honesty.

“That's why I gave you six months. I know you love me, I just need your honesty,” Richard said. After that he focused again on the file in front of him.

Katherine was defeated again by this man, and all the words of that man were true. “Alright, I do love you and really like you. That's what you want to hear, right?” katherine flat said. There is absolutely no emotion in that sentence.

The two looked back at each other, there was no sense of arousing when Katherine said it all, even though that was what she wanted to hear. Are women that difficult? That's why he never approached the women, not because he did not want to, but indeed he did not want to deal with the complexity. His life is complicated, he doesn't want to add any more.

“If it wasn't for your Dad, then I wouldn't be here with you.”

Katherine flinched, the sentence she had heard in a different order. He didn't know what Richard was trying to say, he didn't want to know, what if it's bad? His eyes turned red and looked at Richard. Is it outrageous? If you think again, from the beginning Katherine never received this engagement even though she really liked Richard.

Yes, it's only natural that Richard said that. Indeed, he deliberately provoked the man's emotions so that this engagement was canceled. The trick worked this time.

“Then, just cancel this engagement,” said Katherine.

Richard did not reply to the sentence, he just passed from Katherine's room without saying anything. Making Katherine feel a little guilty, her eyes that had been heating up since earlier started to shed tears.

Dimitri finally decided to return to Indonesia, he had been in Germany long enough. He was afraid that if he stayed here too long, the desire to make Liliana appear again. After all, his love had not faded at all, he just did not know how to Liliana. This woman already has a lover, and she must accept it inevitably.

As long as this woman was happy, and also the Eagle was happy, then that was all enough. They can keep in touch well, restarting to be friends maybe, like they used to be. He will not impose his will, he will only be happy if Liliana and her son are happy. The proof after this divorce, the two can relate well, although a little awkward.

“Hopefully your flight is smooth,” said Liliana. He and Eagles delivered Dimitri to the airport that night, on Liliana's own initiative. The little thing that made Dimitri's heart warm again with empty hopes.

“Yes, you are also careful. Thanks also for bothering me.”

This was just Liliana's impulsive act of wanting to deliver Dimitri's return, nor did she understand why she was doing something like this. Initially because of the feeling of wanting to start a good relationship with her ex-husband, she did not want any awkwardness between them. Though a good way to forget the feeling of love that still exists, is to stay away from the source itself. But, what Liliana did was just the opposite. His heart said that, he just followed.

“Can I regularly visit here? To see the Eagle,” asked Dimitri. “Maybe every change of season, can be faster, depending on my work.”

Liliana looked at Dimitri, the idea sounded good. But what about Liliana's heart? Why is everything so fine after their breakup? This man became more gentle and considerate. They don't look like they just got divorced, they're like a happy little family. Is it no problem like this?

In the end, Liliana only gave a smile without acknowledging or rejecting, she was still unsure of her own heart. But, all this is now about the Eagle, there's no reason to refuse, right?

“Send my regards to Mama and Papa,” Liliana said.

Dimitri smiled bitterly. “Since one year ago, when I told our divorce, they hate me a little. Our relationship hasn't been good since then, but I'll tell you.” Dimitri gave his best smile, he did not want to look okay in front of Liliana when talking about his parents.

Liliana did not know the story, if Liliana's parents hated Dimitri, she knew it. Of course, which parent wants their child to separate. “Sorry, I don't know about that,” Liliana said.

“I go.” After kissing the Eagle, and saying goodbye to his little hero, Dimitri walked away from the two people he loved so much.

After the man was no longer visible at her distance, Liliana also stepped out. Right now, his mind was already better, he did not think about many more things after the divorce. She never thought she would be on good terms with her ex-husband after all that happened. His heart was a little shaky, especially since yesterday, when Enzo proposed to him.

“Why?” ask Liliana.

“You knew from the beginning that I liked you, maybe the time wasn't right, but I was serious this time. I want to marry you, I want you to be my wife and always be by my side,” Enzo replied.

That night, all the words that Enzo said, and also his eyes were very serious. Just like their first meeting. Liliana knew the man's feelings, she didn't mean to give him hope, she just wanted to be good friends. Was his actions exaggerated this time too?

“I...I...”.

“I'm in no hurry, take your time to think, I'll wait for your answer.”

Enzo got up from his seat, intending to get out.

“Enzo, I. can't yet. I'm sorry if my attitude has made you misunderstand, I just want to be friends with you. There has never been more feeling involved here,” Liliana said nervously.

“Do you still love that man?”

Liliana silent. Does he still love that guy? Dimitrie? Yeah, that feeling is not easy to lose. Nor does he know how to begin to erase these feelings, or does he just not want to erase them?

“I will keep waiting for you.” Enzo gave her smile to Liliana before walking out of Liliana's apartment.

Enzo is a very nice guy, Liliana is aware of that. But he can't just accept it, can't when his feelings are still like this. He wants to enjoy his solitude first, and enjoy his companionship with the Eagle. That was all that was being thought of in his heart.

Enzo knew it would be like this eventually. Liliana's eyes can't lie to her, she still loves her ex-husband. Enzo only expressed the feelings that were surrounding his heart, he also did not know the story behind the divorce of the two. There was not much he could know about Liliana, except for the fact that she was divorced.

From the beginning, Liliana was very closed and always limited Enzo to pass through the wall that had been built solidly. But, it doesn't hurt to try, does it? He should also try to win the heart of the woman, slowly, he will perform slowly.

“Enzo.”

The call makes Enzo look up, and find someone he does not want to see again. The source of all his guilt, which had already made his life turn three hundred and sixty degrees. The cecilia. This woman showed up when she didn't want to see each other again, she didn't show up when Enzo expected her to explain everything seven years ago.

The two were silent, staring at each other. Enzo was very surprised, but he tried to control himself, he put on his cold face.

“I think we don't have an appointment,” said Enzo coldly.

The woman named Cecilia looked agitated at the place where she was standing, she should not have appeared after all this time in front of this man. After all the mistakes he made, and after everything that happened, he should have just disappeared. But, the guilt in him increasingly gnawed at him, and he did not calm down to face all that.

“I...Can I talk to you?” cecilia asked nervously.

This woman was very different from seven years ago. His body was much thinner, his long hair was only tied to one, his white skin was still the same, only paler. There was no bright look on his face like seven years ago. Enzo still had time to hope that everything this woman did was not related at all, but the woman never showed up.

“Is there anything we need to talk about again? That opportunity was lost seven years ago.”

Yes, Cecilia was well aware of that. Although very late, at least he can apologize for all the mistakes he made. He didn't want to do all that to Enzo, although Enzo probably wouldn't believe all of his words, at least he tried.

“Give me ten minutes to explain everything, after which I will disappear from before you,” Pinta Cecilia.

“What about all your explanations, being able to bring back my dead sister? What by explaining everything now, being able to restore my already broken heart?!” enzo Benthic.

Luckily it was still morning, visitors only saw one and two people. Enzo also doesn't care, maybe this could also be the right place to humiliate this woman. He has not had time to take revenge against the Cho family that has eliminated happiness in the Enzo family. Even to the extent

now, this woman's father has not been caught, and has not been punished for all of her actions. They seemed to disappear without a trace.

This time, the boy handed himself over to the lion's den. I don't know what Enzo will do when his mood turns grim again like this.

“Go from before me, before I change my mind!”

Cecilia dropped her body, resting on her knees on the floor. “I know this won't change anything. You can scold me, hit me, do whatever you want to make amends for my father's mistakes. I'll turn myself in to the police after this, I deserve it.”

Enzo stared in disbelief at this woman, he smiled horribly. All his thoughts about this woman as well as all his regrets had almost vanished, but when he saw this woman willingly coming to him, his emotions re-emerged. He got up from his seat.

“Do you hope like this I will forgive you? All your words have left me untouchable. If you really want to make amends for all your mistakes, turn yourself over to the police station with your father. Even the prison still looks better than you.”

Tears down Cecilia's pale face, she was very quick on all those harsh sentences. At any moment, the man will not accept his forgiveness. It's okay, he'll bear it all, it's his fault. In a moment, he would be able to make up for his past mistakes.
