Restore Your Smile

Celine is Silent

James approached Celine's seat with anxious expectation. He knew he was guilty of the girl. Celine had been ignored for two weeks. But on the other hand, the longing and freedom that has been shackled is too difficult to resist. Without much thought, James chose to follow his heart even though he did not know what to say or how to behave.

After being in front of Celine, he called out the girl's name. "Lin .." he said nervously while smiling foolishly.

Celine simply looked at James' face with a flat expression. Seeing Celine's response like that, James' guts grew shrill.

"Cin .... Sorry .... Bang James is wrong .." he said again.

But Celine remained silent looking at James with the same expression. Seeing the unpleasant auras, Mama Ratna decided to help her youngest child.

"Cin .... Maafin James yes .... She can't tell you directly, " said Mama Ratna.

Celine remained silent. But this time he got up from his seat and approached Mama Ratna.

Mama Ratna was confused. No longer know what to say. Just this time Celine was acting so hard to read.

Suddenly Alex yelled down the gloomy atmosphere. "By the way, Brother Lager! The original breakfast. Then eleven o'clock late, lunch soon. Eat together yuk! Celine Temenin Bang Alex ate first yeah .." take Alex.

"Yes, " replied Celine with a smile.

Seeing the situation that was starting to be conducive, Papa Heru spoke up, "Yes, Papa is also a laper! Let's go spout!"

With the decree from the commander-in-chief of the Wijaya family, the group disbanded and headed for their respective cars. Then they went to a family restaurant together.

They spent nearly an hour traveling, ordering food, and enjoying food at the restaurant. In the car, Celine spoke only a thousand languages. Same at the restaurant. Only Rico's chatter was a little cheerful.

Until finally everyone's stomach is full and food plates in front of them toilet. There was nothing more Alex could do to help her sister improve the atmosphere. James had to face Celine himself.

"Pa, Ma, James, Lin .... Bang Alex back first yeah .... Rico also started to get sleepy. I woke up a little early this morning, " Alex said, pointing to Rico, who had been nodding in Sherly's arms.

"Yes. Be careful .." said both his parents and Celine almost simultaneously.

"Yes, Bang. Thanks a lot yeah .." reply James.

"No prob's. Later Papa-Mama went straight home also yeah .... Don't crawl anymore. No, look at the lack of sleep all .." added Alex again.

Mama Ratna smiled wryly at the behavior of her pretentious eldest son. "Yes, understand. It's already! There's home! Pity Sherly and Rico wait for you!"

Alex smiled at her smile. Before actually leaving, he approached Celine and whispered to her. "Cin .... Don't be so fierce for James yeah ...."

Hearing that, Celine smiled wryly and looked at Alex. "Yes, Bang ...."

Seeing that, they were all curious about what Alex whispered so as to make Celine smile like that. But no one dared to ask. For Celine's entertaining part, they had to admit Alex was superior.

Alex leaves first with Sherly and Rico returns home. Not long after, the rest of the family came home.

Upon arrival at home, everyone was immediately busy cleaning themselves and changing clothes with comfortable home clothes. After everything was tidy, Mama Ratna said to Celine and James, "We rest well .... Papa also uda teler tuh. If you want to sleep too, the fence is locked."

"Yes. Celine also wants a break, Ma .." replied Celine.

"Yes. You must be tired too. Rest, Son .." Mama Ratna told Celine,

"Yes, Ma .... Celine first yeah .." said Celine.

"Yes. Please .." replied Mama Ratna.

Celine entered her room and closed the door. Mama Ratna and James are still standing in the living room.

"The boy avoided talking to you, James .." said Mama Ratna.

"Yes. James knows .." said James.

Mama Ratna sighed. "Yes .... It's natural he's like that after what he's been through. Try it, Son .." said Mama Ratna to encourage her youngest child.

"Sure!" james replied with a smile.

"Yes already. Mom entered yeah .... Do not forget to lock the fence if you also want to rest in the room!"

Mama Ratna smiled and left James in the living room. After locking the fence, James went into his room. He wanted to knock on Celine's room and wished he could talk to her. But the plan was cancelled. After his body touched the bed, a sense of fatigue immediately approached him.

For two weeks he was sleep deprived. There were many things he thought about and weighed down on him. All this time he tried to ignore it and did not want to feel it. He forced his body and soul to follow the storyline. Only now did all of that exhaustion feel to him, after it was all over and his soul got some relief.

I need a break too. Now, calm my soul .... Peace be in my mind .. he said in his heart before he fell asleep.

...****************...

Celine came out of her room at about four in the afternoon. The house was still quiet, it seemed like everyone was still asleep. He took a shower before there was a queue. After the shower, Mama Ratna was in the kitchen.

"You wanna cook for dinner, Ma?" tanyakanya.

"Yes, " replied Mama Ratna with a smile.

Celine also helped Mama Ratna prepare dinner.

James had just woken up when the time was already magrib. He slept like a dead man and no one woke him.

When he came out, everyone was already gathered at the dining table. They seemed to have prepared themselves to enjoy dinner in his absence.

"It looks like you slept well, so Mama didn't wake up. So now you want to go eat or shower first, son?" ask her mother as soon as she sees it.

James grinned. A little embarrassed by the looks of her still smelly pillow Celine saw. But he did not want to take a headache, after all Celine must have also seen it like this when they were home.

"Have a meal, Ma .." replied James.

Quickly, Mama Ratna immediately took a plate of rice for James. Without waiting for long, they prayed together led by Papa Heru. After that, in silence they ate the dishes available.

Finish the meal, as usual one by one the personnel left the dining table and sat in the family room. Papa Heru turned on the TV to eliminate the quiet atmosphere in the house.

Indeed, since James' confession to his parents at the time (eps 97 - Kuberjahan ), PKW has never been held again. Their time together was most just spent watching together like this.

The atmosphere of the house has not fully recovered. Although the problem seems to have been resolved, but the rest of the impact they still feel. Their souls were still tired of discussing the events that had just happened. Coupled with Celine in their midst, the reluctance to discuss it grew.

Until finally time just passed. The TV show is getting boring. Realizing that no one was actually watching TV, Papa Heru turned off the TV and tried to open the conversation lightly.

"Celine what's the plan tomorrow?" tanyakanya.

"There's no plan yet, Pa.." replied Celine.

"Hm .... What about you, James?" James was asked.

"Not yet, Pa .." replied James.

"Are there any ideas, maybe we want to go for a walk or do what?" Papa Heru asked as he spread his gaze to everyone in the room.

No one gave me an idea. Their souls are tired. There is no passion or interest in doing something or going somewhere.

"Yes if there is no. We'll think about tomorrow yeah ...." Papa Heru concluded. The listeners also agreed.

"Well, anyone want to tell or say anything before this meeting closes?" ask Papa Heru again.

The room was quiet again. No one answered.

Papa Heru sighed realizing the situation. "alright. Let's just end this meeting. Let's rest, "he said as he got up from his seat.

Mama Ratna and Celine stood up. Celine went straight back to her room waiting for the bathroom. While Papa Heru and Mama Ratna took turns cleaning before the two of them finally entered their room together.

James from earlier only paid attention to Celine's behavior. He waited for the right time to talk to her. But the girl didn't give him a chance.

Celine, who realized the bathroom was empty, entered the bathroom as soon as she left her room. On the contrary, after finishing cleaning, he again locked himself in the room.

James took a breath. It doesn't seem like it's going to be easy. He also stepped into the bathroom to clean as the person who had the last turn. After taking a shower, he'll try to talk to Celine.
