Amelie the Keeper of the Soul

GO, LEON!

Sunday arrived, as per the hours of their previous meeting, Leon was already waiting at the cafe. He saw the clock on his wrist several times, the time was past 5 minutes.

"Sorry I'm late" said Amelie when she arrived at the cafe. This morning, Amelie woke up late, because last night she had to keep working at the minimarket after finishing giving private lessons to a child. Actually his body was very tired, but he also did not want to make Leon wait for him.

"It's okay."

"Let's go. Where are you taking me this time?" ask Amelie.

"Follow it," without a cue, Leon immediately grabbed Amelie's hand and grabbed it. Amelie could only follow him without speaking anymore.

They traveled for 1 hour, Amelie had to fall asleep for a moment, and it did not escape Leon's attention.

"Lake Como?" amelie said when they got there.

"It's so beautiful!" he shouted again, "You should have told me first, so I can bring my painting tools here."

They sat on a park chair around the lake. The breeze was so cool, making Amelie feel calm. His fatigue was like he was lost in the wind.

He tilted his head to the left and to the right while closing his eyes, as if following a melody. It breathes a lot of air and then exhales slowly.

"Thank you" said Amelie.

"For?"

"Bringing me here. I love this place" Amelie smiled.

"I'm glad you like this place."

"In return, from now on I will consider you my best friend" Amelie stretched out her hand, wanting to shake Leon's hand.

A pal? Can't it be more? - Leon.

"Hmm, okay .. friends!" Leon welcomed Amelie's hand and smiled.

They spent the afternoon, "You know, Mel. Lake Como is very beautiful when viewed at night. Lamp lights from the surrounding settlements make a dim, romantic impression.

"That means this place is suitable to be a honeymoon place for married couples" said Amelie.

"Yes, Lake Como is one of the destinations for tourists who are on a honeymoon. Do you want to come here on honey moon?" ask Leon.

"I don't know. I haven't thought about it" said Amelie flatly.

Leon did not continue, he invited Amelie to return to Pisa Province, where they lived.

"One more time, thanks for today!" amelie. They split up at the station and took their way home. Leon wants to deliver Amelie, but as usual Amelie will reject him.

*****

The next day, Amelie woke up late and she immediately cleaned up and left for Kanak Kanak Park where she worked.

In a hurry, he crossed the road without looking left and right, not even seeing the street lights that had turned red for pedestrians.

Cittt .....

A car does the brakes suddenly because Amelie who arrived just in front of him.

Amel?

The driver of the car came down, "Amel?'

"Ly-Lydia?"

"You're okay?" ask Lydia.

"No, I'm fine. I was just in a hurry to not pay attention to the sign. Sorry, yes" said Amelie.

"Where are you going? I'll drive you, "Lydia took Amelie to get in her car.

Amelie put up the seatbelt and noticed Lydia's motion.

"Where should I take you?"

"Kanak Kanak Park St. Peterson," Lydia turned on the GPS and started pointing there.

"Thank you, Lyd," said Amelie as they arrived in front of Kanak Park.

"same. Can I have your phone number, Mel? When can we meet, "Lydia gave her phone to Amelie to get her friend to type in her phone number.

"It."

"All right, I'll go first" said Lydia.

Amelie immediately entered the school. He looked at the clock on his wrist, then stroked his chest.

Fortunately I was not late. - Amelie.

*****

📨 Okay, just let me know your departure schedule.

📩 Alright, I'll call you again tomorrow.

📨 Ready!! See you, bi*!

Amelie smiled when she found a message from Abigail.

"Is there anything interesting that makes you smile?" ask Leon.

"Ahhh, my best friend is coming tomorrow."

"Well then tomorrow I can't meet you," Leon scowled spoiledly.

"Hey, we've met every day. Are you not working?" ask Amelie.

"Of course I work. When to take your best friend to my workplace. I'll buy you a cup of coffee."

"Just a cup?" amelie Goda.

"What less?"

"Of course, you should buy 2 cups of coffee."

"2?"

"Yes, for me and my best friend. It's just me being free" Amelie laughed, as did Leon.

"Amel?"

"Lydia's? You here?"

"Yes, I was waiting for my friend at the cafe down the street, and I came here because I wanted to buy something. What the hell are you doing? You work in this place?" lydia asked Amelie, but her eyes were fixed on Leon.

"Yes, I work here."

"Didn't you work at Kanak Kanak Park?" ask Lydia again.

"Yes, I have some work. What do you want to buy, Lyd?"

Lydia leads to one of the shelves there and takes what she wants, "How much?"

"8 Euros."

"Is she your new boyfriend, Mel?" ask Lydia would like to

know.

"Ooo no, he's my best friend. Let's introduce this to Leon."

"Leon," said Leon flatly.

"Lydia," stretched out his hand, and was greeted only slightly by Leon.

"Is he your new customer, Mel?"

"Lyd!" Amelie tried to stop Lydia's speech.

"Oooo, doesn't she know what you used to be. He'd better know, or he'll regret it."

"This is the change, Lyd," said Amelie with great emphasis.

Amelie did not want people around her to know about her who was given the nickname as a matchmaker guard. He wants to live a normal life. Therefore, now he is trying to fortify his heart and feelings so that it is not easy to fall in love with anyone.

"How long have you been with Amelie?" lydia asked Leon, making Amelie clench her hand.

"About 2 months" Leon replied. Yes, he had only known Amelie closely for about 2 months.

"Then, you only need 1 more month. After that, find me. I'm sure I'm your soul mate and vice versa" Lydia put a business card in Leon's shirt pocket, then slightly touched Leon's chest. Lydia smiled at Amelie.

"I'll be waiting for him. Thank you for making him your customer. This accidental meeting of ours may be one sign that you are a match" Lydia said, waving her hand without looking.

"What does that mean, Mel?" ask Leon.

"nothing. You better leave now. I have to work, "Amelie starts walking towards the warehouse where Harlan is calculating the current stock.

"Mails?"

"Go, Leon!" expel Amelie. He did not pin Kak's call on Leon because Leon did not look much different age with him.

"alright. I'll come back later" said Leon before he left the minimarket.
