Amelie the Keeper of the Soul

COME BACK, BABY

Amelie had her own monologue in her heart. He should not be angry or upset with Leon for hiding that he is Sebastian and the older brother of Mikael, his former lover.

He also knew that he was hiding his identity. This was indeed not his personal wish, but for his safety. Amelie looked back at Mikael, whose eyes were currently asking 'are u okay?'

"Amelie, uh,"

"Yes, Aunty," Amelie kindly and gently replied to Miranda's greeting.

"How long have you been dating?"

"5 months, Mom," Leon replaced Amelie to answer that question.

"Do you want to marry Leon?" miranda's question arrived, making Leon and Amelie simultaneously look towards Miranda in shock.

"Mom!"

"What's? You've been dating for 5 months, and Mommy thinks it's been a while. You'd better get married soon and Mommy's gonna have a grandchild soon. 1 ... 2 ... 3. Yes 3 grandchildren. If Mommy has 2 children, then Mommy will have 6 grandchildren who are funny and adorable."

"Mom!" leon shouted back a little because he was afraid Amelie was uncomfortable.

"What the hell are you, Leon! Amelie's not a problem, isn't it, baby" Miranda flicked her mouth, then turned her head and held Amelie's hand.

"Sorry, Aunty. I think it's too soon. It would be better if we could get to know each other further" Amelie replied.

Alvin's guess is wrong. If he is indeed eyeing the treasure, then he will immediately accept Mommy's request. Or is he just trying to pull over to look good? What's wrong with me, why do I doubt it? - Leon just hit his head slowly.

"What's wrong with you, Leon?" ask Miranda.

"Ahhh it's okay, Mom. I just feel bad."

"Are you sick?"

"Ahh no, Mom. I'm okay. Mommy ordered food?" ask Leon to divert.

"Not yet, Mommy's waiting for you. Mommy was so happy to see you two" Miranda turned to Amelie with a smile.

They eat together while talking. Miranda asked about Amelie's family, and as much as possible Amelie did not mention her last name. It's nothing, but his Daddy, Axelle, has told him that he can't just use the name Williams because he is far away. Axelle doesn't want Amelie to get hurt just by bearing Williams's name.

"You should get married soon. It's not good to linger long courtship like this. After all, Aunty likes you a lot and Aunty sees that you two are a great fit" Miranda smiled.

"Leon! Move fast or another man will come before you" Miranda continued.

"Mom!" no matter how many times Leon called his Mommy so as not to be too pushy. He didn't want Amelie to feel uncomfortable.

They split up, Miranda returns to Leon's apartment. While he drove Amelie home. On the way, Amelie just kept quiet and looked out the window. He should have realized that something was different today. Leon picked her up using a car that could be said to be luxurious.

"Mel ...," call Leon.

"Hm."

"Are you angry?"

"Because I lied to you. I didn't say who I was" Leon said.

"That's your right. You must have had a reason to cover it up and I don't think I should be upset about it."

"Are you not angry?"

"Yes," immediately Leon's feeling became relieved.

"I'm sorry Mommy spoke like that. Take it easy, I won't talk about your current marriage with you. We'll get to know each other first."

"Thank you" When they arrived, Amelie got off Leon's car. He said goodbye and went straight into the apartment building.

*****

Amelie's eyes rounded when she saw the condition of her apartment. Things are messy and scattered. The sofa is also in reverse condition. He ran towards his bedroom, the same condition as the front room was visible. In fact, the front door is not damaged at all, what is this?

The bed linen was messy and there was a large scribble in the shape of the letter 'X' written with bloodstains. He moved towards his wardrobe, all the clothes were messy and in a state of broken and torn. He walked up to the nightstand by his bedside, his little closet open and he got his money lost. No problem with the money, but his letter and passport were also damaged.

"It's crazy, it's crazy! Who did this?" amelie muttered.

He sat by his bed, still holding the box where he kept his letter. He tried to think to find out who might do it, but just as soon as he did not get it.

"I don't feel like I'm doing anything bad and I don't think I have any enemies. But ..., no! nay! no way! He has no idea where I live. Besides, what's he doing this for?" amelie says she has her own monologue.

Amelie doesn't want to keep quiet. He immediately got up, then cleaned up all the mess that happened. He picked up the broken items as well as the damaged clothes, stuffing them into a large black plastic bag.

It was late afternoon and he was not finished. He changed his bed linen, swept and mopped the floor. He also cleaned the kitchen and bathroom were really dirty and messy. Oil spills and eggs are intentionally broken.

The time showed at 9 pm, he sat on a broken sofa because the top was slashed with a knife until some bus came out. Sweat wet his forehead, he was really tired, until finally he fell asleep on the sofa.

The next morning, the sun was shining. His eyes blinked because the sunlight easily entered because the curtain of doors and windows facing the balcony he did not close at all last night. However, Amelie felt very lazy to open her eyes. He closed his eyes and curled up on the sofa.

His phone has been ringing, even since yesterday. Amelie finally woke up because the sound of the phone was like an alarm that reminded her that there was activity that she had to do. Walking closer to the phone, he noticed there were 20 calls and several messages from Leon, Abigail, and from his parents.

He put his phone back down without even opening a message. He cleaned himself, then put on clothes that were still worth wearing. He opened his phone and ordered some clothes for him to wear tomorrow at work.

While waiting for the food delivery, he called his mommy. Amelie will return cheerful when talking to Vanessa. He not only considers Vanessa as his Mommy, but also his best friend.

"Amel missed Mommy" he said.

"Back, baby. Mommy misses you too. Mommy wants to go there, but Daddy's blocking Mommy."

"Mommy should accompany Daddy, Amel is fine. Amel has many friends, Mom. Let alone Amel's student children, they were so cute and adorable!" said Amelie ceria.

"You're adorable too, baby. Then later Mommy will ask Azka who went there yes, to see your situation."

"okay, Mom. I Love you .. muah," kissed Amelie from afar.

Amelie put her cell phone back down because of the bell on her apartment door, the food has come.
