Amelie the Keeper of the Soul

CCTV

"Morning, pretty!" greet Amelie to a child.

"August, Miss!"

"Your face is so good, so many flowers."

"Mommy bought it for me" she smiled.

"Well, now you get into class is beautiful. Miss will soon follow," the 5-year-old girl ran small to meet her friend.

Amelie looked around, a not-so-big school building with a large courtyard. He smiles. She is now a kindergarten school teacher in Kota X, Italy.

The day was filled with smiles and laughter of children. The screams and cries he heard often. However, it was very happy for him. His life feels more colorful, not boring as it used to be, when he had to serve a man who only considered him a matchkeeper.

Finished from teaching, he will work in a minimarket not far from his rental apartment.

"Hello, baby."

"Mommy!!" amelie shouts as she receives a VC call from Vanessa.

"So you're so happy?"

"Of course, Mom. Here it is very fun, especially when meeting children at school," Amelie smiled with a smile.

"When are you coming back?"

"Geez, Mom. Amel has only been gone for half a year, time has to come back. Let Amel enjoy life like this first, Mom."

"All right, sweetheart. Mommy was just kidding. Seeing you happy like this, I don't think Mommy should regret Mommy's decision."

"Thank you, Mom. Amel loved Mommy."

"Thus ... Dear Mommy, Daddy's not?" Axelle who was there, suddenly raised his face with a frown on the phone screen.

"Of course Amel loved Daddy too, muah ... muah ...," they laughed together.

"How are you, Azka, Mom? I've never seen him call Mommy or Daddy."

"Oh, baby. Mommy is confused by Azka's attitude lately. After college, he went straight into his room and locked himself in. Did he tell you nothing?"

"No, Mom. But I'll try to contact him later."

"All right, sweetheart. Call Mommy always. I love you" said Vanessa who then disconnected the VC connection.

*****

As usual, Amelie had to take a bus to get to the school where she was teaching. He took the earphones and put them in the ear, then chose the song on his phone. The journey by bus takes about 20 minutes.

While listening to a song, he opens a chat application. Amelie smiles every time she opens her group chat with her members, Abigail, Handy, and Mikael. There was no Lydia there, no one, because she left the group after their last conversation in the cafeteria. Amelie sighed softly when she remembered that.

From inside a taxi, a man noticed Amelie playing her phone. He could see what Amelie was doing, as Amelie was sitting right next to the window.

* Flashback on *

"I told you, Mom! I don't want to!" Leon has started raising his voice.

"Darling, you are 28 years old. It's right to have a family."

"Stop, Mom!"

"Leon!" Larry yelled at Leon for yelling at Miranda.

"If Mommy wants me to get married, it's best to wait until I find the woman I love. Don't you ever force me!"

"But Leon."

"I told you before that I would never agree to any matchmaking that Mommy prepared."

Larry also could not force Leon, although he also wanted his eldest son to get married and have a family.

"But your sister, Mikael, is willing."

"Then marry Mikael. I don't care if Mikael gets married first. I'd better get out of here."

"Leon ...," Miranda tried to call Leon who went to her room.

*****

"Is there a problem there?"

"Just do! I don't want to argue!"

Leon turned off his cell phone connection and sighed deeply. She thought her mom would never force herself to get married again.

The next day, the,

"Where are you going, baby?" miranda asked as she saw Leon dragging his suitcase.

"I'm going to go."

"Leon!! Can't you just keep up with your Mommy's wishes?" larry asked when he came to the middle room. She loves Miranda so much that she does not want Miranda to be sad.

"I told you I can't. Does Daddy want to marry someone you don't love?" ask Leon.

"Daddy will do anything to make Grandma happy."

"Right now Daddy can say that, because from the beginning Daddy loved Mommy and Grandma agreed to it."

Leon pulls his suitcase back to get out of Sebastian's family residence.

"This time, if you keep deciding to leave, then Daddy will not consider you as Daddy's son anymore" Larry threatened.

"Well if Daddy says that. I don't think there's anything I need to say and I'm doing here again" Leon still chose to leave by pulling his suitcase. The sound of the roar of the car disappeared with Leon's departure from Sebastian's family home.

"Dad! how are you?!" Miranda hit Larry on the shoulder, though it wouldn't hurt.

"How's what?"

"Who told you to threaten him?"

"I just want him to follow you, baby," Larry walked over to Miranda and began teasing her.

"But you see, Leon is really leaving!"

"He will definitely be back. How could he possibly live out there without money."

"You mean?" Miranda looked at Larry as if asking.

"I'll block all his cards. He'll be back soon."

Platkk ....

"Ohhh, baby. Sakitt ...," said Larry spoiled.

"You want to make my son miserable out there?"

"N-not so. I just want him to know that following your wishes is not wrong. Doesn't every parent want the best for their child."

Miranda finally twisted her body, leaving Larry, "I was just kidding her. Now he's really gone. You slept outside today."

"Loh loh! How am I wrong, baby? Why are you joking around? Why is your acting getting so much more real, that I can't tell which acting isn't."

"I'm going to say it's nothing to lose, who knows when the betrothed arrived Leon agreed, isn't that the jackpot? So if he doesn't want to, yes."

"Then why didn't you get in the way when he wanted to go and say that it was all just a joke?"

"Because I wanted to see, you stood up to me or against my will," Miranda now chuckled at Larry who began to randomly shuffle her hair in annoyance.

"You really pranked me! Just look, I'll make you scream under me! I won't let you prank me anymore."

"Eh uh uh ... then how is my son?"

"That's business later. Now I have to make a calculation with Mommy the kid first," Larry immediately held Miranda in bridal style and took her to the room, then locked the door.

After laying Miranda down on the bed, she went back to the door and put a message on the door handle that said 'The one who bothers, sees, hears, gets a pay cut. Marked, CCTV.'
