Restore Your Smile

I Know

After finishing the bath and re-drying the towel, James stood in front of Celine's room. The regulation of his breath, the rounding of his determination, then the door of the room was knocked.

"Cin .... Uda sleeping?" tanyakanya.

Not long after, the door of the room was opened by Celine.

"Can Bang James come in?" ask James carefully.

Without speaking, Celine withdrew from the door and sat down on her bed, leaving the door open. That means James has an entry permit.

He entered the room and left the door open to keep Celine comfortable. After all, it is not good for a man and a woman who are not husband and wife to be in a closed room, is it?

James sat on the bed. He was confused as to how to start the conversation.

"Cin .... Sorry yeah .... Bang James silenced Celine for two weeks." That's all he had in his head. But Celine kept quiet and kept looking at him.

"As Mama said, Bang James couldn't tell this directly to Celine. But Bang James knows that's no excuse. Bang James must admit that Bang James is quite a coward in this regard.

Either Mama Uda the story to the same extent Celine, which obviously Bang James himself is not confident if Bang James is not guilty. Bang James can't prove anything. The problem is that Bang James doesn't remember anything. That's what makes Bang James not able to talk to Celine. No way Bang James asked Celine to believe in Bang James, if she wasn't sure of her innocence, right?" continued James.

"Celine knows Bang James isn't guilty." Suddenly a sentence came out of Celine's mouth that left James stunned.

Then James saw Celine take her HP, push a few buttons, and put the HP in front of James.

"So in the end you decided to continue this lie ?" There was a female voice from the recording that Celine played on her HP.

James surprised. Is that Wendy's voice? Seems like. James is not sure yet.

"What else do you want? All preparations have been made. The catechism is complete, the date has been set, the bride's kebaya and the wedding ring have been purchased. It's too late to cancel." This time there was a voice that seemed to be Cindy's.

"It's never too late to correct a mistake, Cin ...."

Allegedly right. It's a recording of Cindy and Wendy's conversation. James listened to the tape with his chest pounding. The words spoken, he listened carefully.

"As you know, I was also overwhelmed with guilt for silencing this when I knew the truth. I feel guilty for James and his family. I hope you understand my feelings too."

"Go home." The tape closes with the last sentence Cindy said.

James remained silent. The facts in front of him made him aghast. What he can infer in the meantime based on the content of the tape is that Wendy already knew Cindy's lies, and when the tape was made, she was persuading him to abandon his plans.

Ja-so ... Celine knew from the beginning? Did you even get the evidence? Since when ? How is it ? Question after question sprang up in James' brain, until he could no longer hold back his curiosity.

"S-when did Celine know? When was this tape made?" he asked with a confused face.

"This recording was made Wednesday three days ago. Later that night, this friend of his sent it to Celine, " replied Celine still with a flat face.

"We-Wendy's? Celine knows Wendy?"

Celine shook her head. "Initially not familiar. Celine only found out about the boy after Celine asked a detective to investigate the Wijaya family."

James gawking. "Me-investigating us?"

"Yes. Celine felt strange about her attitude when Celine asked why Bang James had not picked up the phone or contacted Celine. Unlike usual, my mother answered in circles.

Even more strangely, my mother even forbade Celine to come here on her Sabbath day under the pretext of having business. That's not my mom's style. Even if there is business, mama must explain what business. So Celine was sure, this family must be in trouble again and mama tried to hide it, " explains Celine.

James breathed in his mouth to control his feelings. He really did not expect his girlfriend to be able to spy on his family until he hired a detective, like those in the movies.

"Then?" tanyanya.

"A few days later, the detective report arrived at Celine's desk. That's where Celine knew the incident that happened to Bang James at the camping event, following the solution that Bang James had chosen as a form of accountability.

The report is quite detailed. There is a chronology of events in the mountains and also related parties who are sources of reference and witnesses. That's where Celine got the data on this kid named Wendy.

No one really saw it happen. The charges are based solely on the victim's story. All the witnesses only explained the condition of Bang James when it was found that morning, which supports the victim's testimony. Therefore, Celine decided to approach the victim's best friend. Celine came to her house last Sunday."

"So last week, Celine actually came to this town?" james asked to confirm Celine's testimony.

"Yes. Especially to meet this boy named Wendy, " replied Celine.

James was really surprised by Celine's lunge. It is not suspected that Celine like this can ignore the advice of her mother, even doing the opposite behind the Mother.

"Then? What's going on?" tanyanya asks Celine to continue her story.

"It was unexpected that the boy still recognized Celine as the speaker who came to his school at that time. Surprisingly again, not only was the confusion seen on his face, but also fear, anxiety, and anxiety. It was as if he was hiding a mistake and was almost caught. This increased Celine's suspicion.

And sure enough, just with the encouragement of a few questions, the boy confessed to the actions of his friend. He swore that he was not involved in planning to frame Bang James and that he himself did not approve of his friend's actions.

By sticking to that nonsense, Celine offers cooperation. Celine asks him to come back to persuade her friend and provoke the chat in the direction of the deception, while recording the conversation secretly.

I don't know what the boy named Wendy was thinking so he agreed to betray his own friend. Maybe he was afraid of being involved so as to save himself, or maybe he did not want his friend more lost and harmed others. Clearly, he agreed to do Celine's proposal and here's the result, " said Celine as she pointed at her HP.

"If Celine had gotten this evidence from three days ago, why would Celine still be silent?" james did not understand.

"This kid asked Celine to give this friend a chance until the last moment. Maybe he was still trying to trust his friend. Or, he still wanted to save their friendship until the very last moment. Because of course if this tape gets played and raised as evidence, their friendship must be ruined by the betrayal it did."

"So .. if for example until the last second Cindy did not confess ...." James hung up his words.

"Celine herself will stand up, object, and drag him to prison with this tape evidence" Celine said.

"It looks like Celine is more and more similar to Mr. Adipratama well ...." That was all James could deduce after hearing what Celine had said.

"Celine takes that as a compliment, " replied Celine short.

James took his breath. The room was quiet for a while.

"So ... What will Celine do with this tape now?" ask James again.

"none. Just keep it for a while just in case until the situation is really safe. The boy admitted his own actions. Why would we destroy their friendship by opening up the existence of this tape? Consider this Celine's tribute to their friendship, "Celine replied casually.

"Now .. because Celine uda knows Bang James is innocent, what ... Celine's still mad at Bang James?" james asked cautiously with a stupid smile.

Celine was silent. His casual attitude that had appeared, slowly disappeared. Instead, his eyes looked at James more and more sharply.

James nodded, realizing he seemed to be asking the wrong question. "What did James say wrong?" tanyakanya.

"According to Bang James, Celine was angry with Bang James because Bang James was slandered so?" Celine asked back. James stunned.

"Even if Celine doesn't get proof of this recording, according to Bang James, Celine doesn't believe Bang James?" ask again.

James remained silent. He never thought about that. Perhaps he did not dare to find out the answer for fear of Celine's answer. In other words, if thought more deeply, it could be that what Celine said was true.

"Because of that, isn't Bang James afraid to speak directly to Celine? Celine Uda never nemenin Bang James fit drunk you know ... It was Bang James and macem! So from the beginning Celine Uda suspected this was just a trap. The thing is, why doesn't Bang James tell? Bang James celine sepicik what?!" Celine's tone started to rise. Unknowingly, tears were already welling up in her eyes.

"Bu-no, Lin .." James began to panic at Celine crying. He extended his hand to hug the girl, but Celine instead rewinded her body.

Apparently Celine hasn't finished taking out her teeth. His anxiety for 2 weeks due to being ignored by James, spilled him out.

"Honestly, Celine wants to see how far Bang James will continue to hide this matter as Celine! The extent to which Bang James attempted to solve it himself. Turned out to the end! Until pelaminan! If Celine hadn't prepared for this plan to derail Bang James' marriage, I don't know what it would have been!" celine slapped James in the chest. Tears were flowing down her cheeks.

James training. He did not think about Celine's feelings. Feelings of being ignored, feelings of not being considered, feelings of unreliability by the person who becomes her lover.

"Sorry yeah, Lin .... Sorry .." said James holding the girl in his arms. He didn't care about Celine's hand that still hit her chest sometimes. He knew the pain in his chest was nothing compared to the pain this girl had already experienced.

"You know what sucks even more?! Bang James could be a hero by being the girl's shield when slapped by his father!" Celine still continued her complaints despite being in James' arms.

For this part, James grinned. Somehow he felt a jealous tone in Celine's words. And that makes him happy.

"Yes .... By kasian, Lin .... Count the thanks because he finally wants to be honest .." said James.

"What canian?! He reaped what he sowed! Bang Jamesnya who want to be pretentious look cool!" grouse Celine.

"Bang James is cool, "so good James.

"Amit!" celine said while a manyun.

"Uda ah .... Don't get angry and cry anymore .... It will be ugly!" persuade James while letting go of his embrace and looking at the girl's face.

"Wild! Later if Celine gets ugly and Bang James uda don't like it, Celine change another guy!" answer Celine.

"Ow .. ow .... That can't happen, dear .... Because for Bang James, Celine is always beautiful! So you may not like .." debunk James with a knotty smile.

"Buck!" cetus Celine with flushed cheeks.

James laughing. "Gombal, dreadlocks, but like it, right?" her god while wiping away the tears on Celine's cheeks.

Celine did not answer. He looked at James. Their eyes meet. Longing drifted on the beads of both eyes.

James brought his face closer to Celine's cheeks that were still wet with tears. Celine closed her eyes and accepted what James was doing.

James continued to peek at Celine's cheek and her kiss slowly shifted towards the middle. The second breath is increasingly hunting to withstand the increasing desire. Until finally the kiss James has arrived at the corner of Celine's lips and ....

"Ecci .... Ehemm ...." The sound of people beating stopped them and made them immediately turn to the origin of the sound.

At the door stood Mama Ratna. "Sorry to interrupt, Mama just wanted to ask, tomorrow we want to go to church?" tanyakanya.

"Oh .... Want, would .... Must be .." said James wrongly. While Celine can only look down with a red face like a tomato.

"Then let's go to sleep! Wake up tomorrow morning, right?" bring Mama Ratna.

"Oh yes .... It's night .... Yes, Bang James turned back well, Lin .." said James immediately rushed into his room without waiting for Celine's answer.

"Celine also sleeps well .... Good night .." Mama Ratna told Celine.

"Good night, Mama .." replied Celine.

Celine's room light was extinguished by Mama Ratna, and then Celine's room door was closed. Mama Ratna returned to her room.

He came out because he heard the noise from Celine's room. He knew James and Celine must have been discussing the matter between them. But out of worry, he finally decided to go out to monitor what was happening.

"Basic, young man!" smile, then lie down again.

After the death of Mama Ratna, Celine has not been able to sleep. His cheeks were still hot and his heart was still pounding at the thought of what had almost happened. James was in the next room.

Akkkhhc .... My first kiss failedlll.
