Another Love Awaits 57. Gina's Arrival
When Celine was about to take the third fried banana into her mouth, she heard someone calling her name from outside. Celine knew precisely who the owner of that voice was. She and Grandma could only exchange glances. In Celine's heart, she cursed, wondering how the owner of that voice had managed to get here.Just as she was about to stand up and welcome the guest, another greeting was heard at the door. Grandma shook her head and smiled at Celine, signaling her to open the door."I don't know what else this person wants," Celine grumbled. She got up from her seat and hurried to open the door. As the door opened, her earlier guess was correct. Gina stood there with enthusiasm and a wide smile. On her back was a backpack containing, Celine guessed, Gina's clothes."What are you doing here?" Celine asked curiously."Oh, why? This is Grandma's house, right? It's not just you, who can come here. I can come too. Right, Grandma?" Gina replied casually while entering the house and shaking h

"Why are you standing there? Come join the conversation," Grandma suggested to Celine."No! I'm just thirsty and want to finish these fried bananas," Celine quickly replied.Of course, the beautiful girl was too proud to admit that she was trying to eavesdrop on the conversation between Zack, Gina, and Grandma. Hearing Grandma's and her sister's voices, Gina immediately turned and smiled mischievously."Look who's curious. She's eavesdropping," Gina teased."Eavesdropping on what? There's nothing like that," Celine replied, trying to act indifferent, and returned to finish the remaining fried bananas."Well, suit yourself, dear. But Grandma's suggestion is to try meeting Zack. It's a pity; he came all this way to see you," Grandma gently advised."Celine didn't ask him to come here, though.""Even so, at least meet him for a while. You both seem to need some time alone to talk," Grandma continued wisely."But, Grandma... Celine really doesn't feel like it," replied Celine."Celine, li

Gina then nudged Zack while whispering, "Hurry up, Mas, while she's here, quickly engage in conversation, or our efforts will be in vain."Zack immediately nodded and stood up. Grandma also nodded and smiled as if giving encouragement and support to Zack. Without much more talking, Zack promptly took Celine's hand and invited her forward."Hey, what's this? Let go, okay?!" Celine exclaimed irritably."We need to talk, Celine. There are many things I really want to discuss with you," Zack said firmly."If you want to talk, just talk. There's no need to pull me like this. It hurts!" Celine said, pulling her hand away."Sorry, how about we sit here and discuss everything about us," Zack continued."What else is there to talk about?" Celine asked, sitting in a chair."A lot. There's a lot I want to talk to you about. Especially, I want us to get back together," Zack said sincerely.Upon hearing Zack's words, Celine's heart raced again. She felt the familiar sensation that always made her
Last Updated : 2023-12-26Another Love Awaits 60. Returning Home
During her vacation at Grandma's house, Celine didn't feel comfortable and peaceful. Instead, she faced hostility from Gina, her younger sister. Gina seemed disappointed with Celine's attitude towards Zack yesterday. Gina thought her sister was too prideful and unwilling to give in even a bit to a man who loved her so much."You are so selfish, you know. Luckily, I'm not a home wrecker like Emma. If I were as flirtatious as her, I would have snatched Zack for myself," Gina passionately exclaimed after Zack bid farewell and chose to leave at that moment.Celine chose to remain silent and not argue with her sister because what Gina said was indeed partly true. After that, Gina adopted an unfriendly attitude and began wearing a hostile expression towards her sister. Gina seemed very disappointed; she knew very well how Zack felt about her sister. For Gina, no man deserved to be Celine's companion other than Zack.Gina's silence persisted. Not even two days into their stay in the village,

Gina, with enthusiasm, began to investigate the photos in her mobile gallery. In addition to zooming in on the images, she carefully examined each one."Pathetic! Pathetic, it doesn't show any of Zack's dignity. What is this?" Gina muttered to herself.She then started posting something on her F******k timeline. The sweet girl asked about all the trendy apps that could be used for photo editing. After that, Gina began checking each of the suspicious apps.While waiting for Zack's response regarding the intimate photos of him and Emma, Gina tried again to convince her sister to meet with Zack. However, Celine remained firm in her decision."I don't want to meet him right now. Please, respect my decision this time," Celine said firmly."Alright then, Sis. Please rest for now," Gina replied before Celine could lecture her again.After Celine returned to her room, Gina entered it. She had to catch Emma and Leo red-handed. Gina was very sure that Leo was also involved in this issue. Althoug

Gina has no specific goal; she wants to clear her mind by taking a stroll outside. Perhaps she'll find a solution to the problem her sister is facing. Gina is well aware of Celine's lingering feelings and hopes for Zack. So, as a good sister, she should be able to help Celine out of this predicament.Gina heads towards a café not far from their house. She wants to enjoy a warm cappuccino and a piece of bread.

Last Updated : 2023-12-27Another Love Awaits 63. Smart Plan
"Why do you have to interfere with your plan?" Celine asks irritably after Gina tells her about all her plans."Well, because only you can contact Leo. Besides, this is your problem with Zack," Gina replies confidently."But, you said that...""This is meeting Leo, not meeting Zack," Gina quickly interrupts Celine."What exactly are you planning?" Celine asks, a bit curious."You shouldn't ask too much, Sis. The important thing is for you to do what I told you. Anyway, all the troublemakers must be removed immediately this time," Gina firmly answers."Alright, if that's what you want. I'll follow all your plans, but be careful if this plan fails. Besides, consider tomorrow my last day off before returning to work," says Celine, smiling and patting Gina's cheek affectionately."In that case, have a restful sleep, my sister. I also want to go back to my room," Gina continues.Celine nods, and Gina quickly leaves her sister's room. Indeed, tonight, she can finally sleep peacefully and ha

She chose these colors to align with the soft concept of her wedding.The guests had arrived and were seated in their designated places. Celine's parents and Gina looked thrilled, welcoming this significant day for Celine. They never expected that their eldest daughter would be getting married today. On the other hand, Gina had been naughty and teasing her sister in her room since the morning."You look so beautiful. After getting married tomorrow, don't forget your one and only sister here, okay?" Gina said while poking Celine's arm."Stop bothering me, Gina," Celine replied irritably."Sis, don't be angry today, okay? You might lose your beauty," Gina teased again."That's enough, Gina. Don't bother Celine anymore. Please check whether the groom's entourage has arrived," Aunt Dianne, the makeup artist for Celine and her entire family, suggest

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
