Amelia's Paid Man

S2 - EPISODE 121

Lovely was at the dinner table, sitting on a chair and enjoying her mother's milk mango pudding. Alex sat down next to Lovely, and chatted with Lovely.

Alex: brother, what are you doing at Uncle Abed's house? Hmmm.what are you and brother Andrew. (word disconnected).

Lovely: no, me and Andrew are nothing. There will never be anything between us. Don't think like that. You know, we're all just gonna be brothers, right? If there is a relationship, not necessarily papa, mama, pamamam Abed and aunt Kim agree. Different from you and him. (smiling looking at Andrew).

Alex: him, who is he?

Lovely: who else is Alex, of course Stela.

Alex, I don't like it. Let him choose another man. I'll find my own woman one day.

Lovely: hmmmm. Well fine.I always lose to you if we argue. Eat your pudding, it's delicious.

Alex: why are your legs?

Lovely: when I turned my legs misplaced and sprained. It was my fault for not paying attention to my movements. Don't worry about me, I'm fine.

Alex, you know what I look like if you get hurt. Brother is an adult, should be able to take care of yourself. Don't bother anyone else. And yes, don't make papa and mama anxious.

Lovely: yes my most handsome brother. You will remember your message. Okay..

Alex: after this brother to England, I won't be able to see you again.

Lovely: go to England. We can meet you if you miss, brother will also come home occasionally. I will miss my mom and dad.

Alex: all right, I'll come visit brother. (Smiling) I'd be lonely if there wasn't a big brother. I usually scold you. Either I can stand it or I can't just be quiet.

Lovely: hahahaha. (little laugh) Why are you getting more and more similar to mama Lex. Very similar, mmmmmhh. deserves to be called a child mama.

Alex: you always have, I'm also a son. Not just my mom's son. (Issified)

Lovely: asataga, hey. Don't get upset like that. Okay, we're papa's son and mom. (Smiling)

Alex: agreed. (happy).

Alex devours her milk mango pudding. So did Lovely.

 

Andrew sat on the sofa, Andrew looking at Brian and Amelia who were talking, joking with laughter with the others. Andrew was envious, why couldn't he be like that. Gathering with his family.

\(In Andrew\'s heart)

If only mama were still there, I would definitely feel happiness like them. Come to think of it, I'm just a stranger here. I am not a member of their family or relatives. I'm just an outsider raised by Aunt Amelia's relatives. Hmmmmm..

Brian saw Andrew sitting alone. Andrew just played the phone in his hands expressionlessly. Brian stood up from his seat and carried the milk mango pudding on the plate with him. Brian walked up to Andrew, Brian thrusting a plate filled with milk mango pudding in front of Andrew. Andrew looked at the pudding in front of him and looked at Brian.

Andrew put his phone on the sofa and immediately received a plate containing pudding that Brian gave.

Andrew: thank you uncle..

Brian: yes, eat. It's tasty.

Brian sat beside Andrew, on Brian's side, there was also a plate of milk mango pudding. Brian ate the pudding casually. Andrew was silent, not knowing what to say. And have no desire to eat pudding.

Brian: what's wrong? Don't dream of Andrew often. That's not good.

Andrew: yes uncle. Excuse me..

Brian: Don't think about things you don't need to think about. Think about what is and what you are doing now. Do not think too hard, however hard you try to do something if God does not want so eat all will be in vain. Just get on with it, and enjoy it all with the process. Believe me, your earnestness and perseverance will not be in vain.

Andrew: uncle.. may I ask?

Brian: yes, ask. What you want to know.

Andrew: hmmm.pardon me in advance if my question offends uncle. But I just want to know, no other meaning.

Brian: yes yes yes I understand. Hmm.. tell me, what is it?

Andrew: what at the beginning of the meeting uncle and aunt, uncle already likes aunt or aunt who likes uncle?

Brian: ahhh about romance yes.\(smiling, looking at Andrew\) well, I will tell you my love story and Amelia. Listen well son..

\(Brian tells a story\)

At first I was just someone who had nothing, of course you know that. Before that I told you too. This may be called God's destiny.

When I lost my way, I met Amelia. And at the same time Amelia was in need of help. I helped him, and he plucked me a wage. Unexpectedly, Amelia offered me to come with her to America. He said he would pay me more than a big wage.

Because I was tired of my situation and was desperate, so I agreed to Amelia's invitation. You know, deep down I actually hate Amelia. I thought Amelia was a naughty woman who would only use us poor people with her money and power.

I kept thinking negatively of Amelia. I thought, is the woman in front of me who speaks sweet is a good woman? Or quite the opposite, he was just pretending to be good for the sake of his goal.

I even thought, am I going to be sold by Amelia? There is fear, there is a desire to live better. All flavors mixed into one. But I had no choice but to follow Amelia and survive.

I resigned to the circumstances. On the way I could only pray and continue to convince myself if I could. I can definitely! At least I get a place to stay, a meal and a wage. That's enough. Whatever I do, any job I'll do as long as I don't kill people or do illicit trafficking.

My fear was heightened when I arrived at Amelia's house. A big house with a few servants in it. Amelia immediately took me up to the second floor of her house, we stopped in a room. Clean and neat room. Amelia said it was my room. And will prepare all my needs.

Beyond my expectations, Amelia gave me everything. Nice clothes, comfortable rooms, luxurious facilities. And more surprisingly Amelia also gave me her shares. There I also thought about using it. But my intention was lost when Amelia told me the condition and circumstances of her family.

Behind its firmness and toughness, stored a deep wound. The wound of losing a parent even the loss of someone he loves. I started to understand the situation, I was doing my job as a "Payman" more precisely "Amelia Pay Man"

His awl only became a pawn to get rid of a man who was chasing after him. As well as being a bad person to her, Amelia molded me into a perfect man, Amelia believing that I would be able to get rid of them all. The drama for the sake of the play we run. We did things according to the script.

Because I'm used to being together, doing what I'm doing is getting scared if I have to lose Amelia. I was afraid I was thrown away, I was abandoned and forgotten. Because deep down there's only one man and it's not me. To him I was just a business partner. She kissed me hugging me, and slept with me just for fun.

As time went on, I got closer to Amelia. Our relationship is also like a couple in general. During that time I was finally sure of how I felt about her. I love him so much, not because he's rich and helps me. There are things I like about him, he always gives me a spirit of support. Always allowed me to fight to get up.

He was always open to me, accepting me for who I was. Never demanded I should be the man of his dreams. He just wanted to, I walked with him and protected him. Because I'm all he has. So did I, back then, only had Amelia. Just Amelia.

I tried to convince her heart if I truly loved her. And wanted to protect her my whole life. Amelia just smiled and asked me to be patient. I know it's hard for him to open his heart. Because there are so many circumstances that make him afraid to know foreign men.

My fight doesn't just end. I kept giving him attention, love, and affection. I protected her, I would even die for her. Because I don't want to see him sad and hurt.

I kept trying to explore his heart. Until I finally proposed to him, after we came home from Indonesia. I applied to her at the airport. I don't care if he finally accepts me or not, the most important thing is that I really want to express your heart to the woman I love. I asked people for help, even staff at the airport. My pilots and flight attendants also involved taxi drivers and waiters at home.

My heart was pounding, my feelings were confused between happy and sad. Glad that I can express my long-standing love. Sad, when I remember if it was his heart there was only his Sudsh lover who was gone. And I'm sad if I'm rejected. I kept praying, I really hoped Amelia would accept me and try to open my heart to me.

Cold sweat came out, my heart had jumped somewhere. My body feels weak, I can only wait for an answer. Until I heard the word "Yes" from Amelia's mouth. Answers I never imagined. I was so happy then, I promised myself. It would never hurt Amelia's heart and feelings. I will look after Amelia until the end of my life. I promise I won't make her cry.

I gave my whole heart and soul to the fullest when I said the wedding vows. My journey is not as easy as others think. Marry a rich woman and live a happy life. It all takes struggle, it takes effort. I have to stand alone even though Amelia supports me, I don't want to stand by just relying on her. I built my own company slowly. Until it can finally stand as strong as it is now.

Yes, that's how we thought, until we were blessed with a baby girl and blessed with a baby boy. They are Lovely and Alex, now they are our passion to stay and they are our happiness. Lovely and Alex are everything for me and Amelia.

(The story ends)

Andrew: wow.. I'm impressed! So long lived uncle until finally uncle got happiness.

Brian: listen good son. The key to happiness is

"Thankful" ,

"patience", though",

"clastic", please",

and "humble"..

Andrew: papa said that too. Did my dad learn from my uncle?

Brian: uncle is not an important person until your father has to learn from uncle. Uncle has many shortcomings.

Andrew: uncle Brian is too down.

Brian: of course, in front of the rising man. We have to go low. We are humble not because we are lowly people, but we avoid things that can harm ourselves. It's better to avoid if we can avoid it, while we can do it then do it. If you can't eat stop and rest for a while.
