Amelie the Keeper of the Soul
LIKE MYSELF
Leon continued to watch Amelie, he smiled.
"Follow that bus, sir," Leon asked.
The taxi followed the bus. As Amelie gets off the bus, "I get off here, sir. Thank you." Thank you."
Slowly and keeping his distance, Leon continued to follow Amelie. He saw Amelie go into a kindergarten that was not too big, but had a large garden.
Leon, who actually had an appointment with a friend, postponed the meeting. He sat in a cafe across the street, where he could still notice the kindergarten's outgoing activities.
Amelie also welcomed the arrival of children who were delivered on foot by their parents.
"Morning, Miss Amelie," that's how she used to be called every morning.
On the table, there are already a few glasses, be it coffee, tea and also a plate of snacks. Leon's eyes didn't stop looking. He was like a detective investigating someone who should be suspected.
I seem to be going crazy. Remember Leon, that woman was Mikael's ex-lover. In fact, he has often changed girlfriend - Leon.
Leon shook his head a few times like he was throwing away his bad thoughts. Mikael once told her that he had only been Amel's lover for 3 months. Surprisingly, Mikael looks so happy when telling the story of the breakup.
It's me who's crazy, or Mikael who's crazy.
Mikael told me many times that Amelie had dated another man again, broke up, and repeated like that. Matchkeeper, that's what Mikael always said. But until now, Leon still did not understand what Mikael meant.
At 2 pm, Leon's eyes caught Amelie's figure coming out of the kindergarten. He immediately paid the bill and ran out.
Still keeping his distance, Leon follows Amelie to a stop. Leon's eyes could not be separated from Amelie during the trip until he finally saw Amelie into a minimarket.
"Sore, Brother Lilian."
Lilian looked at the clock on her wrist, "Good afternoon, Amel."
"Ihhh, my brother always teases me. Where's Harlan?" ask Amelie.
"Ooo, Harlan is cleaning up the warehouse. There was a supply item coming so he had to tidy up and count it again" Lilian explained.
"Then I go in first, sister," Amelie went into the staff room and changed her clothes, becoming the uniform of the minimarket attendant.
Amelie served from 3 to 10 pm, while Lilian took the morning shift, which was 9 to 4 pm. Harlan served in the warehouse, sometimes he also helped Lilian or Amelie at the cashier. Harlan works from 12 to 8 p.m. He also manages financial reports.
For Saturdays and Sundays, both Amelie, Lilian, and Harlan, will take their holiday rations. They will be replaced by teenage children who are looking for extra money when they are off school.
"Amel! have you come?"
"Hmm, today there's no teacher meeting and I arrived at the stop just as the bus was coming."
"Are you not tired, mel?" ask Lilian.
"No, Brother. I'm just happy to do it. Than I'm staying in the apartment."
"Didn't you like to paint? Why don't you develop your talent?" Harlan.
"I like to go to the park on Saturdays and Sundays, that's enough for me."
"I really salute you, mel. You keep smiling even though your life is hard" Lilian said. Lilian is a married woman. He has 2 children, who are already quite large. Lilian's son was guarded by her husband who suffered from paralysis due to an accident.
"No, Brother. I am grateful for my life. I salute your struggle more. If I was in your position, I might not know what to do right now, "Amelie hugged Lilian.
"Saturday, may I visit Sunny and Elliot?"
"Of course, mel. They'd be happy if you came."
Leon looked at his wrist, he who was across the street, not knowing what Amelie was doing.
"Why is he so long? What did he buy?" muttered Leon while continuing to walk back and forth while continuing to pay attention to the minimarket.
Because of his curiosity is so great, Leon finally crossed and entered the minimarket.
"Welcome!" greet Amelie.
Ooo, so he works here? - where did Leon's mind go, because I didn't think that Amelie would get into the minimarket to work.
Wouldn't he be able to go to college in the same place as Leon, should his life be enough. Or did his family have problems until he had to work like this? - Leon.

"Sasthen Miranda!" call Larry with a raining gaze, making Miranda just smile.
"What's up, baby?" ask Miranda spoiledly.
"You were intentional?"
"Intentionally what do you mean?"
"You're deliberately causing trouble with Leon, aren't you?" Larry rubbed his face when he saw Miranda smiling.
"Are you going to keep him locked up in the company? If he is like that, when will he find his soul mate. You know, honey, working in an office is hard. Let him be out there, who knows he found a mooring of hearts" Miranda said as she opened her phone.
"You are right! I need Leon to help me."
"Help you? aren't you at home just teasing me. It would be better if you were in the company, dear .. and let Leon find his soul mate," Miranda laughed, saying, while Larry became upset because now he will be less time to tease his wife.
"Then, I'll have Mikael help me."
"Give up to you, the important thing is that Mikael has accepted his match with Daniela."
"Are you going to marry Mikael and Daniela?"
"Of course not. I want them to know each other. Therefore, you have to help me, baby," Miranda said as she approached Larry.
"What can I do for you, baby?" Larry was so lulled by Miranda's touch. Since long ago, Miranda's touch was opium to him. Even today, Larry will do anything as long as he can get a touch from his beloved wife.
Miranda whispered something to Larry that made her gape and rounded her eyes, "Are you crazy? Danu certainly wouldn't want her daughter to work like that."
"Yes, look for an excuse or you can say this to get them closer," Miranda began to caress Larry's chest and play her fingers there.
"Ahhh Mir, your hand ... I .. ahhh .. do it again, Mir," Larry asked with a sigh.
However, Miranda instead went away, leaving Larry in a very painful stage, "Go first to talk to Danu. If you succeed in convincing them, I will give you what you want. And remember, let Leon out there, he needs refreshing, too."
Like me, Miranda smiled
