“Don’t go … please …”


    He turned to the young man. He stared at Alexendris for a few seconds. He rubbed its face. He smiled lightly then tapped her shoulder.


    “It’s like I’m noting back. It’s your OA. Maybe I’ll know papa for a while.” he grinned. “If you want to fetch me.”


    There is something wrong. He felt that immediately because of Alexendris’ heavy aura. It’s not reallyughing but the emotion in its eyes isn’t that heavy.


    “I’ll be back.”


    Alexendris’s grip on him loosened. Its eyes dropped to the floor.


    “I’m afraid you won’t.”


    Nameywang sya. “What’s the problem? Why do you seem so scared? When I’m your girlfriend then you’re paranoid. You know I’m just a dad.”


    Alexendris stared at him for a few seconds before he spoke. He frowned as the young man grinned.


    “Why would I be afraid anyway?” Alexendris’s face dropped and he reached for his lips.


    “If you don’te back to me, I’lle back to you.”


    CELESTINE had a strange feeling as she walked home to her parents’ house. It seems so weird today. Kind of something he didn’t expect to know. It’s just that he doesn’t know if it’s good or bad.


    He arrived home at noon. He was straight inside. He saw his mother in another living room. Busy reading thick books. He approached it and tapped it on the shoulder. Her mother was surprised. It lowered the book it was holding.


    “Maa!”


    “What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be in the office ?!” sermon immediately of it


    Her eyes widened in shock. That resulted in her frowning. Her mom didn”t know her dad was calling her? What are the two of them going to talk about? He was more curious. He wanted to go to his dad right away. She nced up the stairs.


    “Celestine! Are you listening?” her mother asked earnestly


    He turned back to his mother who frowned.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    “Dad called me. We have something important to talk about. I thought you knew.” sagot nya


    Her mother’s eyes narrowed at her. “Did you do something silly Celestine?”


    He shook quickly. “Nothing.”


    Her mother calmed down. The wrinkle of its forehead disappeared. He picked up the book again and read.


    “If your dad is waiting for you. Go up there. So maybe he came home early.”


    He nodded. He hurriedly walked up the stairs to the second floor. Her dad’s office is here in their house. He knocked twice before entering.


    Her dad was in the swivel chair while reading a paper. He lowered it as soon as he saw it. Celestine closed the door behind before she walked closer.


    “Why else? Is there a problem?” he asked immediately


    The nervousness in his chest is rising again because his dad is so serious.


    “Where did you sleepst night Celestine?” his dad’s authoritative question


    He was swallowed. It’s like going back to the time when he was in high school. Every time they have an overnight, he says goodbye to a group project but he just does a movie marathon with his friends.


    “A-ah …” he scratched his head


    “Don’t lie to your father, Celestine.”


    He bowed. “Kay Alexendris, pa.” he replied


    A few seconds of silence passed before her dad spoke. He immediately looked up. Her eyes widened.


    “I know you have a reason and I know that young man can bring you back to life but I don’t want him for you.”


    Her body stiffened. “P-pa …”


    “Stay away from Alexander Courner’s heir, Celestine. He’ll just ruin you.”


    Her heart ached. How will he do that? Alexendris was important to him. The young man was important to her. They just started after he left Alexendris? He promised earlier


    He promised …


    “Alexendris isn’t a bad person, Pa. You saw that when he came here. He was just rude and sometimes rude but I know him. He won’t hurt me. He won’t hurt me.” his exnation


    “I know him and their whole family better than you son. You don’t know what’s going on inside that family. Listen to me.”


    She was already in tears. He feels he can do nothing. What is there in Alexendris’ family? He talked to his dad. He is still supported.


    “But still. Alexendris’ dad is kind. I’ve talked to him. He even supports us!”


    Her dad closes his eyes tightly. It stood up then approached him. It grabbed both of his arms.


    “Son … Listen to me. Please. You’ll only get hurt.”


    Tears welled up in her eyes. She saw the agony in her dad’s eyes.


    “But still. I love Alexendris. We’re just getting started. I promised him.” he wept at the promise


    “You’ll understand too son. For now, follow me first Celestine. You’ll know too. You’ll know.”


    He also did nothing but nod. Her dad hugged her. He just cried in his father’s chest.


    How is his promise now?


    HE WAS LOOKING at his cellphone. Earlier it rang because Alexendris had been calling earlier. He hugged the pillow tightly to gain strength.
