Chapter 56 - Resolve

<PoV: Celesta>
Why? Why is it taking so long..?
How long do I have to wait for even this flight to depart?
I have already canceled my previous flight and went for the earlier one. And yet, they are still making me wait.
Carene... I want to be with you right away.
How long has it been since you and I have spent our days happily together?
Really... coming to this trip has certainly been a mistake.
I shouldn't have come here, Carene. So far away from you... it feels very empty.
Hah... I am really lucky that it would be all over now. Thank you, God. Thank you for helping me to get away from that lonely place.
Just eating, sleeping, wasting my time... and repeat. Day after day, almost like a robotic sequence. I hated it. I absolutely hated it!
And, what I hated the most was... you not being around me, Carene.
Although the trip would last for a few more weeks, now that I have nothing to do with it, I would now have so much time to be with my Carene. More and more...
How happy~~! How happy I am!!
And, I am going to get more and more happy.
Not only that, but I am going to get my Carene to be even happier!
After remembering the happy times we spent together, I also remembered the day that she left my side suddenly.
Along with the breaking of my heart upon finding Carene... like that.
I really don't know why she left back then without telling me.
I fear that there might have been some unspeakable burdens on her heart that made her do that. Otherwise, Carene wasn't one to do something like that needlessly.
Unfortunately... I was too occupied with my own stuff and couldn't be as close to her as needed at that time. That would be my biggest regret to this date.
There is still some distance left to cross between the two of us.
After having gone through this dreadful experience, I am now more sure than ever, that I want Carene to be by my side, next to me, hand in hand with me. Forever.
I now realize that it is actually me that needs Carene more than she needs me.
I must not keep being passive toward my feelings any longer.
I must take active steps in pursuing Carene's heart.
I don't want to stop myself from being greedy or selfish this time.
Oh~ Carene~~. My dearest Carene... I hope that I am able to speak up about my heart's true feelings to you this time.
Although I stupidly gave up the best chance of being together with you before, I won't repeat my mistake this time.
By the way. There is one more thing that I have to be thankful for.
Ever since Carene moved in to live with us, there has been a huge change in Mother's nature.
Before she had been so distant to all of us. Not being around us in sickness. Not having dinner with us due to her multiple jobs. Not supporting us or even attending our School's Festivals.
I often dreamed about something. Our family, living happily, with Mother being very close to all of us. To prevent my heart from breaking, I often assumed Mother to be trying very hard to hold back her own worries from spilling over to any of us. That way, at least I won't blame our Mother any longer.
Fortunately, I am not a child anymore. I am not foolish enough to not realize how much effort our mother has been putting to provide for our daily living expenses.
Which person would hate not going to work and spoiling their own kids? Mother must have wanted to do that too, however... for our sake, she didn't.
Still, no matter how much money we had or not, there was still an emptiness within our house.
The emptiness of not having our Mother around us.
That... is no longer the case, however.
Ever since Carene arrived home, Mother also began to smile much more often.
She has also started to casually joke around with the rest of us at dinner time.
I don't remember when was the last time when Mother called me to ask me about my studies before.
And today, she actually called me on her own initiative.
I can't express how happy I am now that Mother is so approachable nowadays!
I believe that it's all thanks to Carene's unspoken efforts that Mother was able to relax ... to finally let go of her worries and come to terms with herself.
It has become so fun to be around in the house nowadays!
Although Lara and Lanita are still the same, there have been tremendous changes in Jorah.
Before, she used to be so shy towards strangers and seemed afraid to speak up in front of her other sisters regarding her opinions.
She used to be comfortable only around me.
Truthfully, I was very worried about her whenever I wasn't around her, as I imagined how troubled and lonely Jorah might have been or if she would be bullied somewhere away from me.
However, now that I have Carene by my side, Jorah has opened up to her as well and has even started interacting with her other sisters much more as well.
I hope that my youngest little sister is able to attain much more courage and grow up to be a courageous girl in the future.
I have high expectations that Carene would have a huge positive influence on her upbringing. After all, no less could be expected from a girl I have chosen to pursue, right?
For now, if I have to speak of the two closest people to me within my family, then they would be Jorah and Carene.
Yes. Carene is already family to me. I just need to get into an active relationship with her, and later on get married to her. But, even now, I consider her to be an important family member.
Of course, there is now one more. Mother is now close to me as well.
Hopefully, Lana and Lalita would open up to me as well in the future.
As I heard the announcement for the passengers to board the plane, I left the waiting area and headed toward the elevator.
I am coming, everyone.
Finally, I am coming Home.
...
So boring...
I can't believe it can be so boring to just keep sitting and waiting on a plane.
God, I am already tired of this. Did the inventor of the Aeroplane ever consider how boring it might become for the riders to sit within a confined space like this? Does it look like a flight of freedom? More like a flight of captivity instead!
No good. I am turning very frustrated. Just when would I arrive home? This waiting time is absolutely torturous!
On a side note, I have to say the flight attendants are all very well-mannered and beautiful-looking women.
Although the ring on their fingers shows that there at least engaged. Sucks for you, boys.
As I smirk to myself imagining how the men ogling the attendants would be devastated if they focused on their ring finger instead of their privates, I notice something ridiculous going on some distance ahead of me.
Hey, what is that old man doing?
Isn't he? yes, I think he is!
This Bastard! Pervert! Why can't he keep his hands under control?
Some distance ahead of me, an old man had put his hand underneath an attendant's skirt, groping about pervertedly.
Harassing and molesting a working woman, who is busy fulfilling her daily job duties like this... what an absolute beast!
Maybe that is why some women don't desire to work in the aviation industry at all.
It is because of perverse men like them who try to take advantage of the situations.
It can't be that I am the only one who has noticed this situation. Then, why isn't anyone standing up for her? Are they afraid to be involved? Or, do they wish to overlook this case of harassment?
Curse them! If no one else is ready to take a stand for her, then I will. I won't let this darn pervert go so easily at all!
I stood up from my seat and walked over to the troubled attendant, pulling her away from that old man's reach and began to scold him,
"Hey, Mr?! Keep your hands yourself alright?! At least behave like your age. Learn some courtesy already, you old bat!"
After giving the old man a proper scolding, I turned around to face the trembling attendant and spoke to her,
"And you, Miss... why are you tolerating his vile behavior so easily? You should give him a huge slap on his face! I am sure that no one here would complain about your retaliation at all."
Looking around at the onlooking passengers, I couldn't help but speak out,
"Actually, I am more surprised that no one else has stood up for you yet. However, you must speak up for yourself first. No one would bother to help if you yourself don't take the first action."
The molestated woman thanked me weepingly, as her companions swiftly brought her away to the waiting cabin to comfort her.
Meanwhile, the other passengers started to berate the molesting old man, who tried to hide away from all of their harsh stares, as he kept making his body appear smaller and smaller.
I hope that the flight staff reports this perverted old man's behavior to the law agencies.
These kinds of people deserve to receive their due punishment, otherwise... who knows how many poor women would they molest just like this.
It's because there were so many people around me taking action now against the old man and the flight attendant, that I tried hard to hold my flaring temper back.
Otherwise, I am sure that I would have surely beaten this old man up senselessly to a pulp.
But, since the woman's companions are already taking action, I think I don't have to involve myself in this matter any further.
Gosh! That is why I hate perverted old men so much! They are all vile, filthy, and perverted creatures...
Although... I cannot claim that all women are saints either. Especially the perverted women.
at least I can never forget that those who insulted and raped my dear Carene were all women.
Those bitches! Just remembering about them makes my blood boil in anger!!
They surely didn't care how much they were making my Carene suffer, Just because of their momentary urge to fulfill their own pleasures... darn them!
No more... I must keep close watch over Carene's surroundings, so that no one else, either man or woman is able to take advantage of her ever again.
...
At long last... I have arrived back in my hometown.
Carene, Mother... I hope you were waiting for me and have been missing me as well.
Still, here I am, trapped in these long queues to depart. Damn it! Why is it taking so long?!
These lengthy protocols... are all needlessly ridiculous!
Just why can't it be as simple as landing the plane and letting go of the passengers freely? It's not like it would become a flea market or something.
Ahhhh! Just wasting everyone's time stupidly! I want to go home, damn it!
Thank God. At least they have started to let us leave.
I was getting tired of being cramped in that awful plane seat.
Well... it's obvious that I wouldn't get my preferred kind of seat when booking in a rush.
No matter. Regretting it now won't do me any good. Rather, I must not have any regrets from now on. I must be in the pursuit of my own happiness.
After all, I am finally home
...
Now, let's push back all the sadness that I endured while being away.
From now onwards, I never want to be away from my home again. At the very least, not anytime soon.
Where is Mother? She called to inform me that she would arrive earlier to receive me.
Ah!! There she is! Mom, I am back!
As I shook my hands above my head to signal her, Mother began to walk m way... with someone else?
Eh? Carene?? Carene is here too?! Mom... I love you so much! Thanks!
Mom... Carene... they are really here.
Mom, Caene, thank you.
...
Mother was standing there, waiting for me with open arms, as she softly called out my name.
Unknowingly, tears started to flow down my face. Though, I couldn't tell if those were tears of sadness from feeling wronged so far, or the tears of joy after finally seeing my family again.
So happy. I feel so happy!
After a rush of emotions welled up within me, I quickly ran towards my family and tightly hugged... my Carene.
Sorry, Mom. But, I missed Carene too much!
Oh, don't look at me like that. I missed you too...
As I couldn't bear to see Mom pouting so sadly like that, I ended my long hang hug with Carene and switched over to Mom instead. Mom also hugged me back and patted my hair.
...
A/N: Had to take Mom to the Hospital. Sorry for the late update.
