Amelie the Keeper of the Soul

YOUR BRAIN IS WRONG

Leon put his groceries on the side table of the cashier. Without looking at the buyer, Amelie stuffed the item into a paper bag after scanning the price barcode.

"Everything's 3 euros, sir," Amelie gave Leon the bag. His forehead frowned slightly and muttered to itself in his heart.

His face was familiar, as if I had seen him. But ... Where? - Amelie.

"Amel?"

"Sorry, do I know you?"

Leon raised the camera hanging from his neck, then pointed it at Amelie.

"Ahhhh, you're the photographer. I'm sorry, I forgot what your name is" Amelie said honestly.

"Well, it hurts so much that you forgot my name," Leon pura held his chest, Amelie just a little smile looking at him.

"My name's Leon. L-E-O-N, remember Leon. Don't forget about me anymore, because we'll definitely meet often," Leon handed over the money to pay for his groceries, then walked out of the minimarket.

However, not all his body came out yet, he turned his head again towards Amelie, "Did you have time this weekend? I want to show you one good place."

"Sorry, but I have an appointment with my friend. Thank you" said Amelie honestly. He promised Lilian he'd visit Sunny and Elliot.

"Ahhh, what a pity. But it's okay, I'll wait for you" Leon smiled and waved his hand. He left the minimarket.

Leon walked down the sidewalk with a bright face. Meeting Amelie in a country that became a temporary escape makes her happy. Nor will he waste any chance of getting closer to Amelie.

"Vin, can you help me find out about someone?"

" .... "

"Well, I'll send you his name."

" .... "

"Yes, I have a picture of him. But remember, don't fall in love with her."

Leon disconnected his cell phone after hearing Alvin laugh as if mocking him. However, it does seem that he has been in love with Amelie since the first time he saw her.

*****

Almost every day Leon shows up at the minimarket where Amelie works, because that's where he can easily talk to her and get closer.

"You come here every day, don't you have another job?" ask Amelie who began to be careless with the arrival of Leon. It didn't matter if he just shopped and left, but he stood by the cashier watching Amelie serving the buyer.

"Did you kick me out?"

"It's not so, but I don't feel like you keep looking at me like that" said Amelie honestly. He does not like to talk and will say what is in his heart.

"I won't bother you, as long as you're going with me this weekend."

"I told you I made an appointment with my friend. I can't."

"How about Sunday?" ask Leon.

"You ... men who do not despair easily yes," said Amelie.

"Of course!"

I will never let you go when you have taken my heart. I will follow you wherever you go. - Leon.

Amelie seemed to think. Perhaps if he accepted Leon's invitation, the man could leave immediately and wouldn't bother him anymore.

"alright. Then you can leave now."

"Where do you want me to pick you up?" ask Leon.

"We met at the coffee shop just up front. No need to pick me up. After that we'll go together."

*****

"What do you get, Vin?" leon asked while tidying up the tie he was wearing. Today he plans to meet his best friend, David Anderson, to talk about business. His family-owned company in Italy is now owned by his cousin.

As his father, Larry Sebastian, said that when he stepped out, his Daddy would take him off the family list. Leon is convinced that Larry is only bullying him, but he will prove that he can do something too. He will build a business with his best friend, with the savings he has.

'Nothing too special about that woman, Len. Her name is Amelie Kirania. He studied at the same place as Mikael, an art major. What makes her sad is that she has been dating for 10 times, can you imagine? Is he a rotating trophy? I admit she has a pretty face, but if it's like that .. I'll also rethink falling in love with her.'

"It's good that you don't like it, so I don't have to be afraid that you're going to marry me" teased Leon.

'When have I ever cornered you, huh?!' - Alvin felt he could not take it when he said cornering his best friend.

"When we're racing cars, don't you often like to be in my arms?"

Alvin rubbed his face rough, 'That's Len's car, the car!! It has nothing to do with women. It seems like over time you are just like your Mommy, starting to be unclear.'

"What happened to Mommy?"

'You know, your Daddy's dizzy about having to go back to leading the company. Even now he was teaching Mikael to take his place. And there was a woman, her name was Daniela, she was made the private secretary of Mikael. Only 1 day they were together, there was already a world war.' - Alvin laughed again imagining what happened that day.

"Ooo Daniela's. She's the woman that Mommy made a match with Mikael."

'What? are you serious?'

"Yes, but if you hear what you're saying, it doesn't feel like it's going to work out. Mikael always said to me that no one would be his match because he was a heavy man."

'Heavy men? what other nickname was that?' - Alvin shook his head again. Seems like Sebastian's family is really a crazy family, and he's going crazy if he's always around them.

"Well, thank you for the information .. and enjoy the war" Leon said, laughing at Alvin's face on his phone screen that had been trying to strangle him. All the information that Alvin got, Leon had heard.

Why is he so mysterious? - Leon.

"Aren't you going to lead your company again, Len?" ask David.

"No, my cousin Brian has taken over the leadership" Leon replied.

"But it's your family's company, you're supposed to be."

"No, no. David's performance was excellent, which is why I chose him to replace me."

"Then the company in Jakarta?" ask David again.

"Micael will lead it."

"Is something going on?" David scrunched his forehead, as if asking Leon.

Leon smiled, "I'm leaving the house."

"Again?" David rubbed his face rough. Not believing his hearing, already 2 times this friend went from home, "What is this time for the same reason?"

Leon nodded, "I will never obey their request regarding it. This is my life, and I don't want anyone to manage it."

"Then, now what do you want to do?" ask David.

"Can you help me find a good location? I want to make a coffee shop."

"Coffee Shop?"

"Yes, is something wrong?" ask Leon.

"Ooo, no no, there's nothing wrong," David turned his face away.

Looks like your brain went wrong, Len. You choose to open a coffee shop instead of being a CEO. Looks like I need to talk to Alvin about this. - David.
