Another Love Awaits 14. The Arranged Meeting
"Five o'clock, Mom, two hours overtime. What's going on?" Celine asked, surprised when Ms. Maggie didn't usually call at this time of the day to ask what time she would be home."Oh, that means no more overtime until night, huh?" Her mother's voice from the other side asked back."No. I worked overtime until 8 o'clock yesterday because the materials were still piling up. Now it's just finishing, so the overtime is only until the afternoon," Celine replied, trying to explain."Alright, you continue eating, finish it! Drink more too, so you don't get back pain ...," "Okay, boss!" said Celine, interrupting her mother's sentence, which could be a long-time, wide-time high."Unch unch, mama's kiddo...," Kylie, who was eating next to Celine, commented."It's so strange! I don't know, my mom doesn't usually call me just to ask when I'm home.""Does she has planning to go with family, maybe?""But she haven’t said so."They continued to eat their lunches while chatting about everything.

"Well, this is our eldest daughter, the one I usually tell you about, Albert," said Mr. Felix, introducing Celine. Celine blushed while shaking hands with the man who seemed taller than her father in terms of age and establishment. It could be seen from the couple's suit with his wife, whose fabric looked classy and expensive."Hello, Celine. It's true what Mr. Felix said. His daughter is indeed beautiful and graceful. Isn't she, Mom?" Mr. Albert said kindly as he shook hands and then asked his wife's opinion, who was sitting casually next to him. The lady, who looked still beautiful at her age, probably around 55 years old, nodded with a smile and extended her hand to Celine. "I am Esmee. And this is our only son; his name is Alex.”Celine, who had been avoiding eye contact with the young man, began to tremble because, this time, she could not help but look at each other and even shake hands to introduce herself."Alex, and you are Celine? Hi!"Celine also welcomed the young man's

When Alex and his family finally said goodbye, Celine, who felt that she had to immediately convey the conversation on the terrace to her parents, was shocked by her mother's sentence,"Celine, Mr. Albert said he would come to propose next Saturday.""Excuse me, what?" unconsciously, Celine exclaimed in shock."Yes, proposed to you to be Alex's wife, why are you so shocked by that?" Mrs. Maggie answered quickly."Hold on, Mom, Dad. I think there's something that needs to be straightened out. Don't let this plan go ahead without knowing this one important thing."Celine said thoughtfully as she sat back down on the living room sofa. Mr. Felix and Mrs. Maggie looked at each other in surprise but then sat down again in front of their daughter."What's wrong?" her mother asked curiously."Mom and Dad should know. Earlier when we were talking outside, Alex confessed that he had lied to his parents about not having a girlfriend."Suddenly, both parents were wide-eyed in shock, "What?!" they

"Thank God...," Celine, Kylie, and Eva exclaimed hysterically together. "Oh wow, I'm so relieved that this pesky job is finally over, guys," Celine cheered happily.The three drowned in euphoria after completing the job according to the target. It was a source of pride for the employees, especially since there would certainly be a bonus from their superiors to appreciate their hard work for the company."Oh, Gosh. What an unspeakable two weeks, huh,""Yes, I swear, I will remember this job,""It's like being chased by a ghost, huuuft ...,""You truly must believed that I have nightmares every night, you know, wkwkwk, it's really scary,"The chatter in the material check room was interrupted when Mrs. Jane approached them. She appeared to be carrying a file. When she reached their table, she commented,"You all look so happy,"The three of them looked at each other, confused about what to answer,"Yeah, just so happy, Ma'am, the job was done on time," Celine said."Here, the new job

On the other side in Manhattan..."Hmm... okay, I'll follow what you say. Help me out, though!" The man nodded as he listened to the voice on the phone. After a while, he placed his phone down after the conversation."It's tough. Ah, I'm getting more curious." He mumbled softly while tousling his thick, crew-cut hair.He is Zack Howard, a 28-year-old successful young entrepreneur who ventured into the meatball soup culinary business. Since graduating from college with a degree in marketing at 22nd, he has successfully opened several Meatball Hitz outlets in his city. His specialty, named Meatball Hitz, has expanded to four branches in nearby cities such as The Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island.Zack initiated Meatball Hitz from a recipe from his beloved mother, an expert in cooking. His mother, Mrs Stacey, often cooked meatball soup for the family. She would prepare her signature meatball soup during family gatherings or events at her husband Mr. Danny's workplace.The initia

Unconsciously, Celine stared intensely at the man in front of her. Her eyes carefully observed every move of the man without blinking. No, it wasn't because she was fascinated or fell in love at first sight, because there was nothing extraordinary about the man's appearance. He was tall slim, with thick, crew-cut hair, a slightly flared nose, and thick lips that strengthened the impression that he was quiet.Oh my, Celine continued to watch him. It was as if she was searching for something special about the man that made her unable to look away. She was also intrigued by a strange feeling that seemed to seep into her since they were close."Here it is! Those people, make us wait until I approach them before they prepare our orders. Damn!" Kylie exclaimed suddenly, now standing next to Celine again. She brought a tray with their orders on it.Celine felt a bit embarrassed, realizing she had been so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't notice Kylie's efforts to save their stomachs

Gina observed the change in her sister's expression. She now understood that Celine always got emotional whenever discussing marriage or partners arose.She became very careful about her attitude and words. Poor sister, there seemed to be a series of sad stories in her love life, making it difficult for her to open her heart to another man. Ironically, Gina learned this from a heart-to-heart conversation with Kylie, Celine's colleague.On that occasion, Kylie accompanied Celine home after work and then went out somewhere together. When Celine left her to shower, Kylie deliberately engaged Gina in a private conversation. She shared all of her sister's grievances. Kylie felt Gina needed to know the truth so that she wouldn't misunderstand and think that Celine deliberately played with her exes by breaking up with them just as the relationships were progressing to a higher level. In reality, Celine was the one whose heart was played with. She was the victim.She also blamed her sister fo

"Hahaha, so you're really in love with that Meatball, huh?" Kylie Mrs. first laughed, delighted to hear Celine talk about her and Gina planning to go to Meatball Hitz again with the family. Eva also confirmed that Meatball Hitz had become her regular spot since the first time she tried it."Why didn't you guys tell me about this before?" Celine protested, feeling like she was the only one who just found out about the Meatball Hitz craze."You're too Mrs. Sy working and working that you forget to be happy, hahaha. Finding delicious food is also a form of happiness, you know," Eva added, commenting on Celine, who usually seemed too serious at work."Our group also went there together, you know, that time. You're the only one who never joined our outings," Kylie chimed in."Really? Ugh, okay, next time, if you guys want to eat out or go on a picnic, I'll join. I don't know why, Mrs. T I find it hard to get close to people if I haven't known them for a long time. That's why there's still

Another Love Awaits Extra Part: Happy Family
About 5 years later ...."Don't run around, Dear. You might fall."Celine tried to catch Eve, who was happily running around in the yard, though she struggled a bit due to her bulging belly. Despite the difficulty, Celine continued to chase after her princess. Witnessing this from inside the house, Zack quickly walked over to them."Sweetheart, don't make Mama worried," Zack said, catching and holding Eve in his arms."Papa, why haven't the others come yet? It's taking so long," Eve said amusingly.At the age of five, Eve was already very smart. Celine and Zack never expected their firstborn to be chatty like her mother but wise like her father."They'll be here soon, don't worry. That's why Eve has to be a good girl. No mischief, no running around, be kind to Mama," Zack continued, pointing towards Celine.Celine smiled while gently rubbing her growing belly. She was truly grateful that, in this second pregnancy, she didn't experience the same difficulties as her first. Even the docto
Another Love Awaits 100. Ending
Not hearing Joe's response to her question convinced Kylie that it was true. That the real reason was Joe being tempted by the charm of the karaoke hostess. "Oh God...," Kylie moaned. She was still accompanied by sobs that seemed endless from her red lips. "You're so heartless!" she protested angrily. Honestly, Kylie never expected that her husband, who in her mind was always gentle and deeply in love with her, would have intentions to betray their sacred love! Her mind refused to accept it. "I can't believe that you have such rotten behaviour. At home, I pretend to be gentle and full of love for myself, but outside, I shower the same love to another woman. Even a karaoke hostess gets a share of your affection!" Kylie continued to curse while seeking forgiveness repeatedly. Her heart was in pain. Very painful, indeed; she couldn't describe how hurtful it was when the fleeting temptation of a karaoke hostess overshadowed her pure love and dedication! For a wife, there is no more s
Another Love Awaits 99. The Rejection
After fully understanding her husband's intentions, Kylie's body automatically rose. Even the table in front of her shifted due to her movements. With an unconsciously gasping breath, Kylie looked towards Joe with a poignant and sharp gaze."You want to get married again? Hahaha! Don't joke!"Kylie tried to laugh, although it felt like the laughter coming from her mouth was very bitter. She tried to think positively, assuming that Joe was joking or trying to surprise her with some emotional twist. Unfortunately, Joe still looked very serious.The man stood up. His eyes glanced anxiously at Kylie as if afraid that the woman before him would explode."Kylie, please listen to me first. I am not joking at all. There is a woman who needs my guidance, so I want to marry her to ensure that our closeness doesn't turn into a sin."Kylie blinked her eyes several times; a thousand pains seemed to pierce her heart. Yet, what Joe revealed might not even be true. She gazed at the face of the man wh
Another Love Awaits 98. Controversial Statement
Spontaneously, Monica covered her mouth, unintentionally shocked by what had just been said by the man who had been filling her days recently—the man whom she had targeted to be her life support."Did I hear it correctly? Do you want to marry me?" That was the only question her tongue could muster, suddenly feeling stiff.Joe stared into Monica's eyes intensely,"Listen first. I mean, I want to ask permission from Kylie first, whether she allows me to marry you—""But of course, she has to agree. You have the right to make choices. Besides, religion doesn't prohibit it, right?" Monica interrupted with great joy.She almost couldn't contain herself from jumping with happiness.However, in front of her, Joe shook his head, making Monica pout because she didn't understand what the man meant by being so elaborate. Wasn't it the man's right as the husband to make decisions in his household?"That's not the correct concept, Monica. I am indeed the husband and have the right to decide the di
Another Love Awaits 97. The Decision
"Darling, where were you? I've been looking for you!"Kylie asked as she met her husband in front of the office building. Surprisingly, this made Joe, who had just returned from Monica's place, panic.With a tense expression, Joe immediately embraced Kylie's shoulders and said, "Darling, I had lunch outside. Lately, you've been so busy and always eating in your room. So, I thought you didn't want to eat with me!"It was okay if they didn't eat together because of Kylie's recent busyness. However, knowing that her husband had eaten elsewhere, Kylie felt confused.The woman, who always appeared in public wearing a hijab, asked, "Where did you eat? I had prepared your lunch as usual. Why didn't you eat that?"Joe grimaced, just remembering the packed lunch. When he went for lunch at Monica's place, Joe would usually ask his colleague to eat the packed lunch prepared by Kylie. But yesterday, Joe forgot to do so, and Kylie must have noticed the untouched lunchbox.Guiding his wife back int
Another Love Awaits 96. Entrapped
On that afternoon during lunchtime, Joe was startled by the noticeable transformation in Monica's appearance. He spontaneously stared at the beauty of God's creation embodied in Monica's figure, now adorned in a soft salmon-coloured modern gown with a simple design that perfectly complemented her body.Her beautiful face was covered with a matching ssawl, styled how Kylie usually wore her pashmina. Instantly, Joe felt as if he were seeing Kylie's twin but in a more attractive package, as Monica's curves were still entirely exposed.For a moment, the time he seemed to stand still. Joe's desires, which he had been trying to suppress, ignited passionately. The sight presented by Vioan tempted his faith to its core. It seemed as though he was genuinely captivated by Monica's undeniable charm."Joe? Do you think I look good in this outfit?" Monica asked with an uncertain gaze. She intentionally displayed a shy smile to appear like a maiden seeking approval from her beloved. My goodness! Mo
Another Love Awaits 95. Idea
"Hello, Honey. Have you finished your overtime?" Joe spoke into the phone as Kylie called him. Remembering, he told Monica to be silent. He couldn't let Monica make any noise that Kylie might hear.On the other end, Kylie replied, "Darling, it seems like I'm going to work overtime until 09:00. Is it okay if I add an hour? Because my work is not finished yet, and if I pile it up for tomorrow, I'll be overwhelmed."Joe took a long breath, but he felt a bit happy. If Kylie extended her overtime, Joe could spend more time with Monica. Finally, he replied, "Yes, that's okay. When you're done, call me, Honey!"After that, their phone conversation ended. Joe put his phone back in his pocket. Kylie was busy; even coming home had to be postponed. But it didn't matter for now because Joe was at Monica's inn."What's your wife's position in the company, Mas? Why does it seem like she's so busy, working overtime almost daily like this?"That was a question posed by Monica as she took her seat nex
Another Love Awaits 94. The Cruel Affairs
Joe firmly emphasized to Monica that he did not want to betray Kylie. A sense of guilt immediately overwhelmed him. After returning from the mall, Joe promptly dropped Monica off at her accommodation. For now, that place was the safest for Monica.Joe then prohibited Monica from going back to the karaoke place. Instead, he always gave her money and had already bought her a phone for everyday use. Joe didn't want to label what he and Monica were doing as an affair, but he realized that what he had done couldn't be justified.A shiver ran down his spine as he thought about the possibility of Kylie finding out about his actions. Indeed, she would be deeply disappointed."Aren't you coming in? Although it's an inn, I'm free to bring guests inside! Because people staying here often bring their friends in freely, the owner never minds!" Monica offered before getting out of Joe's car.The invitation Monica gave sounded very tempting, and there was a strong desire in Joe's heart to nod his he
Another Love Awaits 93. Deadly Persuasion
"Oh my God! You're so absurd!" Joe retorted, refocusing on driving. They were on a quiet road, so he had pulled over easily to recover from the shock of Monica's statement."How am I absurd? I do want to be your wife. I believe I can live a better life under your guidance. I'm sure because I see, Joe, you're so good as a husband," Monica elaborated, emphasizing her words. Joe, in turn, shook his head in disbelief, wondering about the basis of her thoughts."But there are still many single men out there who would want you, Monica!" Joe, once again, expressed his disapproval. He believed Monica should not dare to speak like that to a married man. Yet... why did he feel a sense of pride and joy when he first heard it? Oh God! Something was wrong with his heart, Joe pondered."I've met many men. Most of them only wanted my body," Monica lamented with a bitter tone. "They didn't care about my job. I want a life like other women, sheltered by their husbands, feeling safe and guided to becom
