Another Love Awaits 18. The Stranger
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

The family continued to chat lively while waiting for their orders when a foreign voice greeted them,"Excuse me, sorry to interrupt. There's a delivery for someone here."Immediately, they turned towards the voice and found a waitress in the same uniform as the male waiter holding a bouquet of orange roses in decorative plastic wrap in her right hand."For someone named Miss Celine..." she continued in response to the puzzled looks from Celine's family members.Celine was surprised and gazed in amazement. Who could have sent her flowers in a public place like this? Especially orange roses, huh? Celine thought silently. Her mind was busy contemplating all possibilities until she forgot to accept the flowers that the waitress had extended. Gina quickly nudged her, bringing Celine's consciousness back from her reverie."Uh, from whom is it, Miss?" Celine asked, investigating. She suspected it might be Kylie. After all, only Kylie and Grace knew her favorite flowers."Sorry, I was asked

"Yeah, Kylie. Isn't it strange, in your opinion?""Ciyyeeee, the one who just got flowers, ah...." Instead of answering Celine's question, Kylie was busy teasing her friend. This annoyed Celine, and she pinched Kylie's arm with irritation."Aww, Celine, that hurts, you know!" Kylie complained while rubbing the slightly reddened mark left by Celine's pinch.Ignoring her, Celine pouted and stared at Kylie intently."Hurry up and confess! Have you told anyone about the orange rose yesterday?"Kylie didn't immediately respond. She seemed confused, either because she didn't understand Celine's accusation or because she was hiding something. Celine couldn't figure it out for sure, making her even more frustrated."Why am I the one accused of leaking?""Well, who else? You're the only one who knows about it. You know I'm not close to anyone else."Kylie looked bewildered as she answered, "Maybe he just picked according to his feelings or something. It's not necessarily because I told him.”C

~ Thank you for the impression you left. Since I saw you, my usually dull days have become beautiful. As colorful as the orange in the sky when evening greets ~From: ZCeline once again found the same greeting card, but this time at her home. It was lying at the gate when she opened it for a Sunday morning jog with Gina, as they did every Sunday morning.Gina snatched it from Celine's hand and exclaimed in excitement, "Oh my God, Celine! This is so cool, seriously, who is Z? I'm a fan, the romance is so sweet...." Her eyes sparkled with emotion, imagining how lucky her sister was.Celine, who wanted to grab the greeting card back, was thwarted by Gina to keep it. She was still curious to know who the person was that sent flowers and these romantic greeting cards to her sister.“Come on, Celine, aren't you suspicious of anyone? Maybe a coworker or an ex who can't move on?""No. If it's an ex, none of them wrote as neatly as this.""A coworker?""I don't know. Honestly, I don't have an

"So was my initial guess that this was all Kylie's fabrication?"Zack seemed to flinch,"It's not a fabrication, Celine. This is serious." I felt his piercing gaze pierce into Celine's nether regions. It washed over her for a few seconds until realization hit her again."But from the beginning, I thought this had something to do with Kylie. But she didn't admit it. Instead, she made up excuses like this and that. What's that supposed to mean?" Celine unconsciously ranted. Her emotions ignited her because she felt a little betrayed by her only friend.She had fully trusted Kylie. But how could she lie for such an important thing?Zack, who did not expect Celine's reaction to be that angry, was confused about how else to answer to explain the situation. Kylie was only asked to help bring him closer to Celine. "What's wrong with being honest, if you don't have to use all the lying shows, you can't, huh?""Okay sorry, it's all my fault. I forced Kylie to help. So don't be angry with her

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
