Be Your Secret Wife
Engagement Day
That afternoon, a black cloudy sank in the sky of the Capital City. The color is dark and evenly distributed in all directions. It only took ten minutes for the sky to pour out all the tears contained in the belly of the clouds.
Same with Celina's eyes. It only took a few seconds to even flood her face with tears. His heart was the same as the sky that afternoon, filled with black wisps. His cry fused with the raindrops that so heavily invaded the earth.
Celina was so sorry for her fate. Had she listened to her brother's words that forbade her to date Dion, she would not have had this bitter day.
Yes, today is the bitterest day in Celina's life. The day she was abandoned by her lover on the day of her engagement. The day he realized just how rotten the lover he had been dating for ten years was.
It was still imagined how rough and easy it was for him to cancel their engagement at the last second.
“I can't continue our engagement. Just stop it all today!”
Dion loudly and proudly said that he had found someone else who could accept him and all his shortcomings.
The man said that Celina could never accept it even though she had been with him for ten years. Of course that was only Dion's reason, because Celina had found evidence of her affair with the woman.
What made Celina regret was her disbelief in her own brother's beliefs. His sister repeatedly reminded him to do a re-examination of his lover's life. Because in this already insane world, many actors or people-coupiers would proudly declare their victory.
But Celina ignored the message of her sister just because the phrase “I will always be with you”. Celina was too naive that she was easily lied to by the man.
The destruction of Celina's life didn't just stop there. As a result of the actions of his former fiancee, he had to deal with a loan shark who asked him to be responsible for the mistakes made by his former lover.
Celina had to incur a debt of one billion on the loan shark. Debts whose money he never even used a dime.
While still in a relationship with Dion, Celina trusted that person too much to even obey him to buy a house. The man managed to convince him, that the house will be occupied by the two of them after marriage later. But it turned out that the house he thought was purchased by spending all his savings, it turned out to be a house and land purchased using borrowed money from the loan shark.
It turns out that the savings money that Dion gave him, he used to date other girls and cheat on them. Dion did not use it to buy a house, but rather to make fun. Not feeling enough, he also added it with the remaining one billion money he borrowed to replace the purchase of the house.
That night, the loan shark came, shortly after he had cleaned up the rest of his engagement decorations. He kept asking Celina to return the money or give the house.
“Returned I have said, I will not give up this house, Dear Mr Adit!” exclaim Celina firmly.
He never felt indebted, but the loan shark said his guarantee was the house. Dion also says that Celina will pay the debt or they can take the house if Celina doesn't pay. What a jerk that Dion is, thought Celina.
“How many times do I also have to say this? You have to refund that money or give this house away!” yelled the man named Adit.
Both Celina and Adit showed evidence that they were the owners of the house. Adit provided evidence of land and building transfer that had been officially approved by a notary and signed by Dion. While Celina provides evidence of a certificate that she thinks is genuine, but is doubted by Adit.
Because in addition to the land transfer letter, Adit also has the exact same certificate as the certificate held by Celina. Just have to prove which certificate is genuine and which is fake.
And unfortunately again, there was one other piece of evidence that did not benefit Celina's position. He had no proof of payment for the purchase of the house.
And worse, Celina was given a difficult choice. He had to choose between paying a billion dollars or giving up the house. If he gives a billion dollars to the loan shark, he doesn't have to give up his house. A certificate will be given to him. But if he cannot return the money, he must give up the house.
Of course Celina doesn't have that kind of money. For all his money had been spent to buy the house and finance his failed engagement.
Even if the money has not run out, he still will not have the money of one billion.
“I'll give you three days to think about it, Miss Celina.”
“.. I hope you will take a wise decision” concluded Adit.
He left the house with his men who looked sad and scary like a debt collector.
Celina sat down. The older sister who had just been silent, slowly approached her and helped Celina stand up.
“What should we do, brother? Do we leave this house to them?” ask Celina lethargic.
He looked at the whole corner of the house that came into his view. One by one part of the house he looked at the nanar. The shadow of her getting married and occupying the house shattered like her heart.
Her older sister, Melani, was unable to help anything but support. He himself was just an ordinary office employee, whose salary was only enough for the living expenses of the two of them. Let alone a billion, ten million would be difficult for him.
“I'm going with how you are, Cel” replied Melani.
“So where do we want to stay, Brother?” asked Celina while sobbing.
“Yes how else, we have to find the cost-boss or small rent.”
Hearing her brother's reply who resignedly relented, made Celina's heart slip. Should she also give up like her brother? Should she give up her dream of getting married and having her own home with her husband?
Just thinking about it made his head turn dizzy. Celina felt she had to start her life again from scratch. All of his hard work during this time was wasted, just because of his stupidity that trusted the matre man.
Celina also never expected, her life would be ruined in just one day. Ironically, the culprit was a person he had trusted for ten years.
“Dion brengseekkkk!” shouted Celina loudly.
Celina cursed Dion. He even intends to take revenge on her if she meets him again.
“Lo see, Dion! If we meet again, I'll make you miserable all your life!”
