The Charm of the Duda
Chapter 25

Celina looks relaxed walking alone with Dion in a public place. This was the first time they had both gone to a shopping mall. Although Dion has long been one of Mr. Adiguna's confidants, it does not necessarily make him free to go alone with Celina. In addition to Dion's busy busyness, Dion had not dared to take Celina both ways since long ago. He still knew the limits even though Mr. Adiguna trusted him very much and never forbade him to get close to Celina.

In Dion's view, the image of him and Celina was like the earth and sky. He felt unsure to achieve it only with the capital of intelligence that he had to make Mr. Adiguna give great confidence to him to develop the company.

"Son Dion doesn't have a girlfriend.?" Celina opened the chat after quite a long silence and just the road around the mall to go to the cinema.

Dion glanced flat with a frown.

"You think.?" Dion deliberately turned the question around so Celina could judge. With the matchmaking, Celina should already know the answer.

"Where do I know," His voice was indifferent as he shrugged both of his shoulders.

"Is someone who already has a boyfriend willing to accept matchmaking with others.?" Ask Dion in more detail. It felt outrageous that Celina still did not understand as well. Where there is a person who is willing to accept arranged marriages as long as he still has a relationship with others. Think Dion.

"Can. After all new arranged marriages, not marriages, so it can be canceled at any time if it does not match." Celina shines the horse.

"It's not that smart men hide a backup." Said Celina indifferently.

"So you think like that.?" Ask Dion. She takes Celina's words seriously saying she can call off the engagement if it doesn't fit. Dion thought that Celina would be like that, especially Celina did not look serious about accepting their matchmaking.

"That's what it is,,,,, that is,,,,

Celina hung up her words, she no longer looked at Dion. Instead of looking the other way.

Highlight his eyes stared exasperatedly at one of the restaurants he was about to pass by.

Fate did indeed lead him to feel heartache repeatedly. But this time it is not heartache because of staying, but because of jealousy to see the closeness of Vano and Naura with Intan. The three of them looked like a happy little family, walking side by side out of the restaurant.

Celina felt dejavu, seeing Intan was like seeing herself some time ago while going with Vano and Naura to the mall. Their position was the same as that time with Naura who was in the middle of them and joined hands.

There was no other reason that made Celina jealous other than her love for Vano and her affection for Naura.

As soft as that Celina's heart to think about feelings for people she had not known for a long time.

But the softness of his heart made him have to continue to feel pain repeatedly.

"Turn around,," Celina took Dion's hand, pulling him slowly to turn around.

"Aunty cantiikkk,,," Celina's steps instantly came to a halt as she just turned around. Celina closed her eyes before looking back, she tried to strengthen her heart to be able to smile at them.

Vano was the first person Celina saw as she turned around. The corner of her lips lifted, Celina smiled thinly with a sense of tightness that emanated from the look of her eyes.2 weeks of living days with Vano in fact left a deep impression on the heart.

"Haii Naura is beautiful,," Celina greeted bumblingly. He waved at Naura and was immediately greeted by a wide smile on Naura's lips. He let go of Vano and Intan's hands together, then ran over to Celina and hugged her.

"Naura kangen aunty is beautiful," she said as she looked up at Celina's face.

The sincere smile on Celina's lips puffed up perfectly. There was a sense of joy in hearing Naura's confession. At least even though Vano forgot about her, there was still Naura who remembered her.

"really.?" Celina Exclamation. Naura nodded enthusiastically.

"Aunty also misses Naura," Celina crouched down and hugged Naura.

Vano smiled wryly, he and Dion had a look at each other. There was a condescending smile imprinted on Vano upon seeing Celina and Dion.

"Let's go, baby, we're going to the playground now," Vano pulled Naura's hand. At that moment Celina immediately let go of her embrace and got back on her feet. Celina just stared disappointedly at Vano who seemed to not recognize her.

"Naura wants to be the same pretty aunty, Papa,," Naura whined. He still wanted to get close to Celina even though Vano had already taken her away.

Naura had rebelled and called Celina's name, but not long after she no longer called her and lost sight of Celina because Intan took her to the playground.

"Other times it is not necessary to turn your head even if Naura calls you, just assume you did not hear it." Vano said cynically. Celina laughed wryly without a sound.

"I have ears, how can I pretend not to hear." Celina was a little cynical in response to Vano's warning.

"Maybe next time you'll have to dodge when you see me."

"I don't want to hear any reason. Don't let this happen again. You're gonna make him remember you even more."

"I looked after Naura, trying hard to keep her away from negative things that might have a bad impact on her development."

"You understand what I mean, don't you.?" Tanya Vano.

Celina stayed silent for a moment to digest Vano's words. The words that arrived - just suddenly made his chest tight. If Vano thinks it's bad, then why go on a crazy date with him. Then what's the difference between Vano and him.?

"I understand very well the venerable Mr. Elvano.!" Celina emphasized her sentence. He did not think to prolong the conversation with Vano because he could no longer withstand the tightness in his chest. Vano had enough to insult and demean him repeatedly even though Vano still had time to enjoy*ti body.

"I make sure I won't see Naura or you again.!" Firmly Celina growled. Celina held the hand of Dion who had only listened to the chatter of the two.

"Come, sister," Take Celina. They passed from in front of Vano.

The departure of Celina and Dion gets a cynical look from Vano. Seeing that Celina already has a new prey, Dion becomes even more convinced that she has taken the right steps to quickly end the date with Celina and keep her away from Naura.

Although in the heart there is a little taste that makes him a little long for the warmth of Celina on the bed.

"You love her.?" After a long time of silence, now Dion made Celina aghast with her question.

"I mean.?" Celina pura - pura don't know.

Dion gave a thin smile.

"I know how far you've come. Then what made you end it.?"

Dion's confession further made Celina unable to wrinkle. She felt like she was caught doing something bad in front of Dion's eyes even though Celina had never known that Dion knew everything about her life.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be so presumptuous because I told people to keep an eye on you all this time." Dion's tone weakened. There was regret from the look in his eyes. Regrets he cannot fix.

It should have been a long time ago that she had prevented Celina from becoming a sugar baby. But at that time Dion felt he had no right to interfere and enter Celina's life.

"Son Dion knew all about my infamy, that's why I hesitated to accept this match." Said Celina. He felt unworthy of Dion, but changed his mind because Dion convinced him.

"I hope Brother Dion will meet the right person as time goes on, so there's no need to marry a woman as bad as me."

Celina said expectantly. Although she was grateful that Dion could accept it sincerely, Celina wanted Dion to get a better woman out of her.

"Everybody is the same in my eyes. There's nothing bad or good, we're just going through the process of life." Dion's sahut flat.

The two no longer spoke, focusing on walking even with a flailing mind.
