The Charm of the Duda
Chapter 30

That afternoon Celina invited Dion to go to the beach to see the sunset. After a long day of silence inside the resort and just swimming there, Celina decided to go to the beach to breathe the air that was definitely soothing due to the pounding waves.

"Are you ready.?" Dion stood in front of Celina's room door. The beautiful teenager came out with her long hair that was allowed to unravel. Sleeveless dress paired with a knit cardigan, making Celina look like a young boy her age. Celina's sweet smile had made Dion stupefied. Maybe it would drive him crazy if he kept staring at her. Dion turned his eyes.

"Come," Celina grabbed Dion's arm and took him down. Dion continued to stare at her arms that Celina was holding. There was something strange, Celina's body temperature felt abnormal.

"You have a fever.?" Dion stopped, forcing Celina to stop.

"Feeds.?" Celina repeated Dion's words, after a moment she shook her head immediately because she did not feel feverish.

"I'm fine," Celina assured.

"Your hands are hot," Dion made sure by touching Celina's hands. Clearly Celina's body temperature was hotter than her.

"It's not me who's hot, but Brother Dion's cold hand," Celina still denies that she's okay even though in reality her body temperature is high.

"Don't force it out if you're sick. I'll call the doctor, and there's still time to go to the beach tomorrow." Dion chooses to cancel a trip to the beach for Celina's health, which seems to be getting worse. Obviously her body was hot, her face was also pale, but Celina insisted on denying it.

"Geez, Brother Dion is too much. I'm fine, just less refreshing because over time in brackets at the resort. Intentions want a vacation, even diem all day here." Celina even pulled out a dork - a dork.

"Let's hunt brother, bosen here continues," Again Celina pulled Dion's hand and held him while inviting him to walk.

Dion looks resigned to the wishes of Celina. If not obeyed, maybe his ears will be hot because of the endless babbling of Celina.

The air on the beach feels cooler when nature begins to darken. Suana on the beach is getting dimmer as the sun starts to set.

Celina stared at the expanse of the sea as far as the eyes could see. The sound of the waves crashing into a soothing groove when his heart and mind were troubled.

Celina thought about her relationship with Dion who was still walking in place. There has been no bold decision he has taken to date just to consider his feelings for Vano.

But if he wasted a man as sincere as Dion would only make him regret for the umpteenth time.

At this time there may be no love that Celina has for Dion, but it does not rule out the love that will grow by itself. Considering Celina is a woman who easily falls in love.

"Sister Dion sure he's gonna marry me.?" Celina asked doubtfully. Dion who was sitting next to him immediately reacted. Her sharp eyes stared fixedly at the beautiful face of Celina who was partially covered in hair because of being blown by the wind.

"You asked a sure thing." Answer Dion.

"I wouldn't have accepted that matchmaking in the first place if I wasn't sure." Definitely serious.

"It seems that question is more appropriate for you." The corner of Dion's lips lifted. He smiled at me. It is clear who is not sure. Dion can guess that Celina has a love for another man, making it difficult to accept the match in the near future. Even impressed to buy time with the reason of wanting to know each other further.

"I might be able to shake off my doubts with Dion's kindness to me, but I'm not sure Dion's sister will accept my mass," Celina looked down lethargic. He was afraid that Dion would be disappointed with his bad past. Although Dion has repeatedly convinced himself that he will not judge and look at someone from his past, Celina still has excessive concerns about it.

"Everybody has a past, and so do I."

"I'm not going to question your past even if I know everything."

"Stop thinking of yourself as bad, because what you think is good also has a past."

Dion's soft heavy voice, capable of winning hearts. Celina was silent at once, her bead could not escape from Dion's handsome face.

Regrets always come too late. Celina regretted her stupidity that had given her chastity to her lover first. Until in the end he was disappointed by him and his parents were always busy, so Celina chose to plunge herself further in the black valley.

Of course Dion was stunned to hear that. After a long wait for the words to come out of Celina's mouth, she could finally hear them after 1 month of approaching.

"Thank you," Dion smiled shadyly, his eyes glowing from the reflection of the sun's disappearing rays.

You can imagine how Dion feels right now. His face immediately sparkled because Celina wanted to marry him in the near future.

Celina chuckles little. The supposed romantic moment even seems funny and stiff because of the formal Dion language.

"Why laugh.?" Dion stared in wonder. His forehead is even wrinkled. I don't know what made Celina giggle amusedly looking at him.

"It's cool, the atmosphere is supportive too. It should be a romantic moment, at least a hug or a rich kiss in the movies. This is instead,," Celina again chuckled.

"Sir Dion's face is already serious, plus speaking formal language, so don't get the fell." The laughter on Celina's lips was still expanding. Dion was too focused on working with Celina's parents until she caught her leg.

"You are.!" Dion rubbed Celina's face.

"Don't make it a habit to pervert in public."

"But they are," Celina pointed to some lovers kissing on the beach without caring about the people around her.

"Let's eat.!" Dion hurried to his feet from his seat. After that pull Celina's hand to go from there. The scene before him began to be unhealthy, just making his brain wander everywhere.

Celina stood up without rejection. He could see the look on Dion's face that held in shame all at once,,,

I don't know, only Celina knows.

...*****...

3 Days since returning from Bali. Celina just felt her body start to limp and lazy to move. Although trying to be indifferent and not care about his circumstances, still what he felt never lost.

Already at 9am, Celina even still chose to roll in the blanket. The class schedule is 30 minutes away. It has been confirmed he will be late if until now has not moved from bed.

"Geez, what's wrong.?" Celina asked herself. He felt something was wrong with his body but I don't know what.

"Am I crazy for thinking about it.?" Mumbled again. This time Celina brushed her face repeatedly, hoping that Vano's shadow would disappear from memory. But unfortunately, the more trying to forget, the greater the sense of longing for Vano to make him want to meet.

"Don't be crazy Celina.! Forget that arrogant widower, Brother Dion is much better than him." Celina tried to break her mind towards Vano. She had already started opening up to Dion because she promised to marry him in 1 month.

This week they will even give the happy news to both parents Celina.

Celina rushed down from the bed. He did not want to hinder his lecture just because he thought about Vano who did not necessarily think about it.

"Wait," Celina took a few steps back and stopped in front of the nightstand she had just passed. A calendar made him remember something.

"I haven't marked the calendar last month, haven't even had time to flip it," he murmured while taking a calendar that still shows last month when it has changed months. Usually every month he will give a sign on the arrival of monthly guests. As a former sugar baby, of course Celina is always diligent in giving a sign on every first and last date of menstruation.

Celina stared at the calendar fixedly. His eyes made perfect when bad thoughts flashed through his mind.

"Oh my God,,,!" Pekik Celina was shocked. The calendar in his hand just fell to the floor. His body felt increasingly limp, even his legs were no longer able to support his body. Celina squashed on the floor with tears that started to wet her cheeks.
