The Charm of the Duda
Chapter 48

"Think well dear, your content is getting bigger. He needs a father after he's born into the world."

Mama is trying to persuade Celina to get married. Either with Vano or Dion. Mama left all the decisions to her daughter as long as she stayed married.

As a mother, she knew how hard it was to be pregnant. Feelings are more sensitive and make it sensitive, really need attention and someone who is always beside him.

She could not bear to see her daughter go into pregnancy alone without the husband who should have been by her side to look after and protect her.

"Celina isn't ready to love Mah anymore." Celina's voice choked. Her tears even piled up in the corner of her eye.

He is not ready to love because of the trauma of disappointment and heartache.

When the heart is anchored, when hope is suspended, suddenly everything disappears, arriving - arriving to be let go, arriving - arriving at disappointment.

Celina realizes her weakness that it is easy to fall in love, that's why this time she is so hearty - hearted to love again. The past teaches it to be heart-hearted with feelings, so that it is not easy to love and expect someone.

Both Dion and Vano, both of them are the same - they no longer have room in Celina's heart which is still trying to get her to work.

In the future, maybe the life he lived would be harder. Celina is preparing her heart to face all the problems she will face.

She strives to be a stronger woman, not to love easily just because of small, meaningless things.

"It's not about love, baby. But about your son who needs a father figure."

"Being a parent is not easy, mama admits it because in fact Mama has failed to be a parent." Mama is sad. He had already realized his mistake of never noticing his daughter.

"Egoistic mom, it's more important what you think is good but it's not necessarily good for you."

"Mama's too after the material, which you think can make you live a decent life."

"Mama forgets one thing that is very important to a child, which is our affection and attention as parents."

Mama grabbed Celina's hand and held it. He gave a look to strengthen his daughter's heart.

"Parent's remorse for the child will be more painful than regret for the spouse."

"Mama does not tell you to rush to love, at least let your child feel the affection of a father. Love will grow as time goes on."

"What else do you know if Dion and Vano are equally sincere."

...*****...

Celina looked at the sky - the sky of the room. For almost 2 weeks he did not give Dion or Vano access to meet him.

Celina really enjoyed these 2 weeks to focus on healing wounds that no one else knew how deep she felt.

The words of the mother, now began to fly in his mind. He began to consider the advice for the sake of the child who was now growing in his stomach.

Getting out of bed, Celina went into the bathroom. This afternoon he will go with Ida to the shopping center. Maybe it is enough to stay silent for almost 2 weeks in the apartment without going out anywhere.

Celina chose to use a taxi, she no longer dared to drive.

"Who's mba.?".Celina asked Ida. The house assistant looked confused staring at the screen of his phone that kept ringing.

"Vano again.?" Celina said quickly. Ida nodded immediately.

Celina sighed before finally asking for Ida's phone.

Vano has always contacted Ida since 2 weeks ago because Celina's phone was deliberately turned off until now so that no one contacted her.

"Stop terrorizing him, is it not enough 1 call.? Why almost every hour I call, I'm fine." Celina said in an endless way.

"I'm worried, until when are you going to forbid me from coming.?" Vano's voice sounded desperate.

"Come on Celina, don't torture me like this. I miss you guys." Vano begged Celina to let him meet.

"I still need time to think, please understand." Pinta Celina with a soft look.

He turned off the phone and gave it to Ida.

"Mr Vano is very considerate, seems to love you very much." Ida reviewed the smile. Celina just glanced at me and smiled.

Not only did Ida feel that way, Celina began to be able to see how Vano felt to her.

Arriving at the shopping center, Celina invites Ida to go to the restaurant first. The past few days, Celina had been wanting to eat Japanese.

"Leo wanted it Papa,,," The voice of the cry of the little boy not far from there, attracted Celina to turn her head. He stopped in front of the restaurant, looking at Dion who was holding Leo and walking along with Keyla.

He walked to the ice cream shop.

Celina smiled faintly, she was happy to see their closeness, yet felt a little claustrophobic.

It turns out that being sincere to give up is not as easy as when saying.

Celina could see the happy look emanating from the faces of Leo and Keyla. They deserve to be with Dion better than he should be with Dion.

After eating and watching, Celina invites Ida to go to the supermarket.

"You sit down, let me shop." Ida prevents Celina from entering the supermarket. Ida could not bear to let Celina go around the supermarket to buy groceries.

"It's okay mba, I still have the energy to walk."

Celina refused and went inside.

The trolley pushed by Ida was already half filled with foodstuffs.

"I'll take the fruit, Mba Ida here." Celina let Ida choose meat. Ida nodded obediently.

"Don't run Leo, stop," Celina was silent as soon as she heard a voice coming from behind a high shelf. He knew exactly who the owner of the voice was.

But then, Celina stepped back on her feet.

"Leo watch out,,,!!!"

Celina was surprised to see Leo running fast towards her without paying attention to the streets.

"Revelation.!!" The strangulation of someone who arrived suddenly pulled Celina in her arms. He breathed a sigh of relief because it was not too late to pull Celina. If it was a second too late, Celina might have already fallen.

Celina opened her eyes slowly, she closed her eyes as soon as she saw Leo who was already in front of her.

Dion stared anxiously, he walked over to Leo who ended up bumping into someone else behind Celina.

"I'm sorry, forgive my son." Dion bowed politely to the person who had just been hit by Leo.

"You okay.?" Vano looks worried because Celina is just silent and looks confused.

Celina nodded slowly.

"I'm sorry Leo," Keyla suddenly approached Celina and apologized on behalf of her son.

Along with that, Dion also came while carrying Leo.

Vano clenched both hands, staring at Dion and Keyla with a sharp glare.

"You're not papa.?" Ask Dion worriedly.

"Your son almost made Celina wretched.! How can you let him run around here.!!" Vano's growls are full of anger.

"Good watch - good your child.! Don't be busy talking.!" It's full of emphasis. Vano sees Dion and Keyla talking before Leo runs.

"We're sorry," Keyla once again apologized to Celina regretfully.

"It's okay, I'm fine."

Celina smiled faintly.

"Let's go home," Vano grabbed Celina's shoulder and took her away from there.

"I'm glad I came on time." Vano lega said.

"Why didn't you say you were shopping.?"

"It was fortunate that Ida activated her jps. I came straight here knowing you were here."

Celina was just silent, Vano's words were as if it was just the wind then that she didn't listen to at all. His eyes looked distant.

"Why cancel a wedding if you love her." Vano released his hand embrace from Celina's shoulder.

Vano withstood the pain that arrived - suddenly burst. She noticed Celina's jealous eyes looking at Dion and Keyla's closeness.

"I won't force you to accept me again. You're free to decide who deserves to be a father to my son."

"As long as you don't forbid me from meeting her, I don't mind if you marry someone else."

Vano took a deep breath after saying a sentence that was actually very devastating to his own feelings.

Celina looked directly at Vano, long enough to stare at her handsome face which looked very disappointed.

"I don't want to talk about it right now,,"

"There's no need to drive me," declined Celina subtly. He commented on the thin and sharp smile to approach Ida.
