Amelie the Keeper of the Soul

I LIKE YOU

Sitting alone in her bedroom, Amelie glared back when Lydia came accidentally to the minimarket where she worked. He took a deep breath, as if he was going to run out of oxygen.

A customer?

Amelie had no idea what Lydia was saying. He felt he had never hurt or vilified Lydia. Even their previous meeting, Lydia still looks ordinary, her attitude is still good.

No one knew who Amelie was. Abigail is the daughter of Axelle Williams, one of the Black Alpha leaders and entrepreneurs.

He lay his body on the bed, looking up at the sky of his room. Over time, Amelie finally fell asleep because of sleepiness.

"Mell!!" abigail shouted as she arrived and saw her best friend.

"I miss you, Bi," said Amelie, hugging Abigail.

"me too. I miss you so much."

"Looks, your face is getting more serialized. Has your relationship with Handy entered more stages?" Amelie raises her eyebrows, seduces Abigail.

"Mell!"

"Don't be ashamed of me, Bi. You deserve it. I'm even very happy if you get married soon" teased Amelie again.

"You are right. I just got to you until you're seduced."

Amelie chuckles, "Let's go to my apartment."

Amelie takes Abigail to her apartment. Today he has taken a leave of absence, and Harlan is ready to replace him. Fortunately tomorrow is Saturday, so Amelie does not have to think about her work time.

"I love this apartment of yours, Mel," Abigail said.

"Yes, me too. Don't bother cleaning it," Amelie and Abigail immediately laughed, because what Amelie said was exactly the same as what Abigail had in mind.

They joked and joked, "How's Mia, Bi?"

"Well, it's just that I feel like he's a little weird."

"Any? Weird how?" amelie asked propping up her chin.

"You know, Mia was cheerful, jolly, her speech was so plain and spoiled. But when I met him yesterday, he was completely different, his face always looked serious, even though he was always trying to smile. I saw his eyes say something else."

"Are you asking him?" Abigail nodded.

"But he always said nothing, no problem."

"Maybe he's just busy with college. You know that medicine is complicated, you have to deal with thick books. I think it's better to just faint" said Amelie chuckling.

"Yes, Bi. You remember Lydia, right?" continued Amelie.

"Lydia's? Of course I still remember. How could I forget someone who was angry and upset just because we asked about how he felt about Mikael. Why did you come asking about him?" ask Abigail.

"I met him."

"Meet? Over where? In here?" abigail asked in a slightly raised voice.

"Yes, here," Amelie sighed softly.

"Is there something, Mel? Your face says something's not okay."

"Is he still our best friend, Bi?"

"Why are you asking like that? Of course not!" abigail was upset. He did not like the attitude of Lydia that he considered too childish.

Amelie cries in front of Abigail. He never cried, whatever the problem. But this time his heart was so broken because someone he already considered a friend, could think of him as a bad woman.

Abigail immediately hugged Amelie, "What's up, Mel? Tell me. Did he do anything to hurt you? Say it! Did he hit you, where?" Abigail checked Amelie's hands and feet.

"Here, Bi," pointed Amelie to her chest.

"What did he say?"

Amelie told me everything without anything she added or reduced, "His mouth needs to be tainted. I really don't think my mouth is in school."

"Already, Bi. I just didn't think he could say something like that and it felt like my heart was hurting" Amelie said.

"But his words were rude, Mel. I who am not you can be angry like this, I'm sure your heart must hurt. So what did your friend say?" ask Abigail.

"I told him to leave. I don't want him asking too many questions. I don't know what he'll think of me. Cheap lady? Woman night? Janggg woman? or any other name?"

"It's been, Mel. Don't talk like that. Don't you care what people say?"

"I don't care if people say I changed my girlfriend, but I don't like the word 'customer' coming out of Lydia's mouth."

"Do I have to call Uncle Ax to get the woman cleaned up?" abigail was upset.

"Don't, Bi! Daddy never knew about this. I don't want to worry him, you know what my Daddy's going through. If this gets to Daddy's ears and it's bad, I'm sure I'll regret it."

Abigail hugged Amelie tightly. He felt that his arrival this time to Italy was appropriate, because it turned out Amelie was in need of it.

*****

The weekend was spent by Amelie and Abigail walking the streets together. They eat, watch, and play in the entertainment center of the city. Amelie was so happy that she could forget about Lydia.

Monday came, the time for Amelie to go back to work. Last night he had delivered Abigail to the airport as she was about to return to Indonesia. Pranata company can not be left too long.

"I'll definitely visit you again, Mel. Soon!" abigail said as they parted ways at the airport.

Amelie does her usual activities. He has returned to being an ordinary Amelie, Abigail's existence really helped him.

"Good morning, son," said Amelie as she entered the class. He teaches children to draw and also make crafts. Children are so happy when they make decorations that will be used as key chains.

"You can continue it at home yes, invite your Mommy and Daddy to come make it. Then you can hang it in your bag" said Amelie while exemplifying.

Amelie immediately continued her activities by going to the minimarket, "Hi, Sis!"

"Hi, Mel!" greet Lilian.

Amelie immediately changed clothes and helped Lilian at the cashier's table, "Mel, last Friday you permission? Is there a problem?"

"No, Brother. My best friend came, so I had to pick her up at the airport."

"Oalahhh, what's wrong. You don't usually ask for permission" Lilian said.

"Oyes, Brother. Is this weekend I can take Sunny and Elliot to leave?"

"of course! But, does that not bother you?"

"Of course not, brother. They are big and they are good kids. I want to take them to the city park and draw them there" replied Amelie.

"All right, I'll tell them later. They'll be happy."

The door of the minimarket opened, and there stood Leon.

"Hi, Mel!"

"Hi, Leon!" Leon smiled at Amelie.

"What's wrong?" amelie asked Leon, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Can't you?"

"No!" made Lilian who saw him chuckle.

Lilian went inside to help Harlan arrange the goods on the shelf.

"Do you want to come with me to dinner?"

"I can't" replied Amelie.

"Of course you can. Leave the minimarket for a while on your coworkers."

"No! I can't do that. I used to order online and eat here" said Amelie.

"Ahhh, fail again donk."

"What failed?"

"Take you to dinner" replied Leon.

"How about we just eat here together?" amelie asked, making Leon smile and nod.

More and more days, the relationship between Amelie and Leon is getting closer. Amelie already considers Leon as her best friend, like Mikael and Handy.

Once when Leon accompanied Amelie to minimarket closing hours, "Mel, I love you."

Amelie turned her gaze toward Leon. He did not believe Leon's words. Currently they are closing the rolling door, really not romantic at all.

"What are you saying, Leon?" ask Amelie again.

"I like you, Mel. Will you be my lover?"

In Amelie's heart, a turbulent return of feelings between accepting or not. Honestly, he felt comfortable with Leon. The attention Leon gave her always made her feel comfortable. The look in her eyes made Amelie's heart beat rapidly.

Do I like it too? - Amelie.

"I-i?"

"You don't have to answer now, Mel. I will faithfully wait," said Leon with a true gaze to make Amelie feel thumping.

Do I have to accept it? I'm just a match keeper. If I accept it, after we break up he will accept his happiness, his love. But if I refuse him, does he still want to be friends with me? the woman who rejects him .. and will it be bad for him? - Amelie.

Amelie doesn't want anything bad to happen to Leon. Especially since Leon has been so good to her. It doesn't seem to hurt if he accepts Leon to be his lover, who knows Leon can find his true love. Amelie smiled, as she now began to believe that she was really a matchkeeper, unworthy of love.
