Restore Your Smile

Let's Talk !

"Where are you going home? To the hotel where you're staying or directly to your hometown?" tanya Mr. Adipratama confirms the words of James who permission to return home.

"The plan is to go straight home, Om. It was still late afternoon too. Still able to catch the plane, "James replied.

"Don't you wait for Celine to come home?"

"No, Om. Celine seems to be really busy. I don't want to disturb."

"All right then." Then Mr. Adipratama seemed to press a button like a small remote that he took out of his pocket.

Not for a minute, Mbok Yani and the servants re-entered the living room.

"What's up, Mister?" ask Mbok Yani.

"This young man is going home. Please deliver forward, Mbok, "said Mr. Adipratama.

"Okay, Big Master. Come on, son James." Mbok Yani invited James.

"Excuse me, Om, " said James before leaving the room.

"I'm waiting for your decision this month." Mr. Adipratama reminded James.

"Good, Om. I must have notified you. Excuse me first .." said James.

Mr. Adipratama simply nodded in response. James left the living room.

After driving James to the front of the fence, Mbok Yani opened his mouth, "Kok Nak James in a hurry?"

"Mumpung can still pursue the plane, Mbok," replied James repeated the reason he had given to Mr. Adipratama.

"Don't you wait for Miss to come home?" Same question as Mr. Adipratama.

"No, Mbok. Celine seems to be busy." James gave the same answer.

"Can be waited for, son James. Tomorrow is Sunday. It's still a holiday, right?" the Mbok Yani.

"But it's a working Monday, Mbok. So if I go home today, I can take a full break on Sunday, " replied James with a smile.

Mbok Yani could only sigh. He had run out of sense persuading the young man before him. He knew this young man was a bit difficult to change his decision if he had decided something.

But, if this young man returns to his city just like that without being reunited with his nonanya .... It feels a bit sad .... So thought Si Mbok.

Luckily, a car stopped right in front of the fence. Celine out of the passenger seat. Seeing that, Mbok Yani heaved a sigh of relief.

"Bang James! Where's Bang James going?" celine exclaimed straight after getting out of the car.

"You go to the airport. Want to chase the plane, "James replied with a smile holding back his true feelings.

He wanted to leave this house before Celine came home. Her heart was not ready to meet Celine especially after hearing Celine's matchmaking plan. He did not know how to behave in front of Celine. He just wanted to go home and calm himself down. That was all he had in mind at the moment.

"So fast that you can't wait for Celine to come home first?" celine asked with her head down. His face looks gloomy.

James is not feeling well. "Not so, Lin .... This afternoon at the airport, Celine heard her own plan to go home Bang James pas asked papa. Bang James also did not know Celine would be home at what time. Bang James thought, maybe Celine's busy. This is uda afternoon. So mending Bang James came home, mumpung plane is still there, "he said trying to give an explanation.

"But now will Celine uda go home .... Bang James can't talk to Celine? Since Celine came to Bang James' house, we haven't had a conversation .... Bang James was busy doing counseling, "celine argued.

James felt guilty. But he still tries to avoid. "Bang James uda was already saying goodbye to his father Celine. Uda says that, then meet again? Is it gonna be weird?"

Celine's eyes immediately sparkled. "Oh .... That's very easy. Where's papa, Mbok?" ask him to Mbok Yani.

"So the time Mbok ushered Nak James out, the big master was still in the living room, Non.." replied Mbok Yani.

"Well, let's talk in the backyard. Guaranteed to see papa. Papa rarely goes there. Or if Bang James is still uncomfortable, we can talk outside too. Go to a cafe, for example. Celine will transfer to the airport. How's it?" celine asked with hopeful eyes.

James took a breath. He can no longer avoid. He was afraid that he would disappoint Celine if she refused more than this.

"Yes already. Talk here, let's not waste time on the road. But not for long, Lin. Don't get to Bang James don't get a plane" James said.

"Safe is .." replied Celine grinningly.

"Mbok, please anterin drink the same instant-seger snack to the backyard well .." pinta Celine to Mbok Yani.

"Well, Non .." replied Mbok Yani with a smile.

Without delaying any longer, Celine immediately took James' hand back into the mansion. But this time they did not pass through the main door, but rather the side door.

The view in the backyard is no less beautiful than the front yard. Even there looks more comfortable and elegant with a gazebo that stands in the middle of the grassy yard.

Just as the side door opened, a barking greeted them. Within seconds, a small brown-haired creature sprinted towards them.

"Furri!" Celine immediately crouched down to welcome the creature. Little One immediately jumped into Celine's arms with her tail still swaying.

James looked at furry. He was not too close to the dog. Furry was closer to his brother.

Low self-esteem is back on him. The same question repeated itself in his head, should he be with Celine? Or Celine will be happier if she gets a match? The same businessman from the top?

"Bang James! Come sit here!" Celine's voice broke her daydream. A waiter came to serve them food and drinks.

James immediately sat down in the gazebo, while Celine washed her hands in the small sink beside the gazebo. Furry was running back in the garden chasing a dragonfly that flew here and there.

"Don't James book the plane tickets?" ask Celine.

"Yet. The thought was going to buy directly at the airport, "James replied.

"Order and check in from now on, Bang James. Let's have a long chat and not rush, " suggested Celine.

"Hm .... Alright .." James said, taking his HP out of his pocket.

Shortly after, he was busy dancing his thumbs on the HP screen. His mind was already focused on considering what plane he wanted to ride, what time, and of course the ticket price.

Without realizing it, Celine was already behind him. Take a peek at the HP screen from behind James' back.

"This last plane, Bang James!" Suddenly Celine advanced herself towards James and pointed to one of the flight schedules of the plane that appeared on the HP screen.

So close was their current position, that Celine's face was right next to James's. Celine's left cheek almost touched James's right cheek. In addition, James could also feel Celine's long hair dangling from her shoulders and neck.

Getting such a shock, James' reflexes distanced his body from Celine. His face was red.

"Ce-Celine was just so shocked!" james exclaimed while holding his chest. His heart was already racing, pounding at a fairly high speed.

"Why is Bang James so surprised?! Celine Uda is here! Bang James thinks Celine's what? Kuntilanak?" celine asked with a plain face of astonishment.

"Once again. Kan uda mau magrib, " replied James ngasal. His mind was only focused on his heart thump which at this time could not be compromised.

"Eeiii, haphazardly .... Kuntilanak mah bau jasmine. The perfume that Celine wore was the smell of peach, lotus and vanilla, "celine refuted.

"Masa? The power that was kissed the smell of dodol duren deh!" james sniffed from afar.

"Ga's polite!" celine said while punching James lightly on the shoulder, then returned to her seat.

James laughed at Celine who was a maniac. His heart was beginning to calm down and his feelings were in control. He was happy to be back to joking as usual with Celine.

"So, Bang James has finished booking the ticket?" ask Celine to make sure. His hands thrust food and a glass of drink at James, allowing James to enjoy the meal.

"Here, " answered James short. James then took his drink and said, "Bang James drinks well ...."

"Yes. Go ahead, Bang. The cake was also tasted. Don't be shy .." replied Celine to James.

"okay .... It must be mah .." said James and immediately sipped his drink.

"So, what was the same papa saying?" celine took a creamy macaroni from a food dish and bit it.

"As Celine Uda said at home, om wanted to say thank you. He continued to tell stories about the events when he was sick. Yeah .... Almost similar to what Celine uda told me earlier anyway." James took a macaron and put it in his mouth.

"Well, did anyone else talk?" ask Celine again.

"Ngg .. most stories about Celine's struggles over the years. Keep ... story is also about the advantages and disadvantages of Celine as a director in his view. That is so-so .." said James still trying to cover the topic he wanted to avoid.

"When about Celine's match?" shoot Celine with a full glare.

Hearing that question, James' heart started racing again. His hands began to sweat. He did not expect Celine to ask him that.

"Oh, it was also mentioned anyway .... But, Bang James can answer what? That's Celine's right, right?" James tried to set his expression and replied in a relaxed tone.

"So, Bang James told papa to hand over the decision to Celine?" ask Celine.

"Yes that. Determining that life partner should be Celine deciding for herself. Marriage is a lifetime contract ...."

"Hm ...." Celine was silent and seemed to think. While James could only hope anxiously waiting for Celine's response. The ball he threw. The decision is now in Celine's hands.

"Bang James ... Celine can ask?" Celine looked back at James with a serious look.

James' heart was beating faster. To be honest he was afraid to hear Celine's question. He was confused as to what if Celine consulted about how she should address the marriage proposal.

Does he have to lead Celine to reject the match? Or ... can he be as professional and neutral as a counselor, when at the same time he has to deny his own feelings?

"Can. If Bang James can answer well .." said James tried to be professional.

"Yes. Gapapas. Likely. But according to Celine, Bang James should be able to answer. The one Celine wanted to ask, when did Bang James want to talk directly to Celine, who Bang James was talking about when Bang James was drunk?" celine asked with a flat face.

Eh? James gawking.
