Amelie the Keeper of the Soul

NOT WORTHY OF AN AMELIE

"Thank you, Leon. May you be happy" said Amelie before Leon finally put the food he bought on the nightstand and out of the room.

"I told you, I'll make you let go and she let you go" Lydia laughed while waving happily, leaving Amelie alone.

That night, Amelie passed by alone, before Abigail finally came with her.

"Mell!" abigail shouted as she entered the infirmary.

"Hows it? what did the doctor say?" without answering, Amelie hugged Abigail. Abigail was the only place to pour out all of her heart. He always told Abigail everything and she believed Abigail would never tell her family, especially her parents.

Amelie told her what happened, but she said nothing about Lydia and Leon. Amelie doesn't want to bring Lydia and Leon into her life anymore, so let her keep that thing close.

"Calm down, Mel. There's me. You got me. Doctors can say anything, but miracles can happen anytime, anywhere and to anyone, just as long as you always believe."

"You will always be my friend, my brother. My son will be your son too. If he calls me Mama, then he will call you Mami" Abigail continued.

"Bi ...," Amelie doesn't drift in her grief when Leon says break up with her. However, he felt the loss of someone who was always with him.

This morning, Leon came to the coffee shop with a face that has been bent to the maximum. No one dared to greet him, even since he entered the coffee shop.

He sat in his room and focused all his attention on his work. Alvin is currently going to Sebastian's company in the country. Larry asks him to help Bryan as there will be a big tender.

"What's with your face, Len?" ask David who is now sitting on the sofa, facing Leon's desk.

"Be quiet. If you can't, you can get out."

Finally David closed his mouth, but he kept his eyes on Leon. He let out a long sigh, "Alright, I'll just go. My message, you better cool your head before making any decisions. I don't know what your problem is, but calm yourself down for a moment and take a breath. I'll go first ... Hye!"

Leon put down the pen he was holding, then leaned his body into his work chair. He took a deep breath, turning back his memory while together with Amelie. Almost 6 months together and easily he made a decision.

"Am I wrong? I haven't listened to his explanation. He asked me my opinion on all of this and he did not argue or argue about it all" Leon muttered, then ruffled his hair.

*****

1 Week passed ....

Leon continued to concern himself with his work. He thought that it was the most appropriate way to cool his head, before he reunited with Amelie and talked about everything well.

Today, he will meet Amelie wherever he is. In the hospital, in kindergarten Park, or in the minimarket. He has to meet her!

The time has shown at 12 noon. He got out of his room and drove his car to the hospital. He entered Amelie's place in the care, but was occupied by another patient.

"The patient by the name of Amelie Kirania?" ask him in the administration.

"Ooo, Miss Amelie has been out since 3 days ago," replied the administration.

Already out? who picked him up? is it with Lydia? or Harlan? - Leon still thinks the photo is the truth. But he'll forgive Amelie if it's all true. He's going to ask Amelie to start over. Is he stupid for still wanting Amelie, even though Amelie had an affair behind him? Think of it that way.

Leon immediately went to Kindergarten where Amelie worked. He saw a clock on his wrist, almost 2 o'clock. That means classes will be over soon. He waited in the car, and his eyes kept watching as the students started to get out. He got out of his car and approached one of the teachers, who was going back inside after accompanying the children before the parents picked up their daughter.

"Excuse me, Miss," said Leon.

"Hmm, I'd like to meet Miss Amelie."

"Oo, Miss Amelie is no longer teaching. This morning he gave his resignation."

"Sign away?"

"Yes, he said his current state is not possible to teach. He was here also using a stick, he said he had just had a disaster," explained the teacher.

"All right then. Thank you." Thank you."

Leon immediately got back into his car and drove it towards the minimarket.

You fool, Leon! You should have accompanied him at a time like this. But you just left him. You idiot! stupid!- Leon hit the steering wheel several times.

He stopped his car in front of the minimarket, "Welcome!" greet Lilian and Harlan as usual. It looks like minimarket glass has been repaired and they are back on the move, like nothing happened.

"Hi Leon!" harlan. Leon looked at Harlan with a hard-to-understand look. Leon shook his head left and right, dispelling his bad thoughts. He recalled the photo when he saw Harlan.

"How's Amelie doing? I haven't had time to visit it because it's been busy at the minimarket since that incident" Harlan said.

"Thus ... Amelie hasn't been here?" ask Leon.

"Not yet, and Amelie won't be coming back here" Lilian replied.

"meaning?"

"He resigned, which is why we are looking for new staff to replace him. Do you have any acquaintances?" ask Harlan.

"Ahh, later I will tell my friend, who knows if anyone is interested," replied Leon.

"Yes, tell Amelie, we miss her. Often come here even though he no longer works here, we will always be his family" Harlan said and approved by Lilian with a nod.

"Hmmm .. May I speak with you?" ask Leon to Harlan. Harlan nodded and took Leon to the front of the minimarket.

"What's wrong?" harlan asked as he pulled a cigarette out of his box and started smoking it.

"What's your real relationship with Amelie?" harlan laughed, then turned to Leon.

"Do you doubt Amelie?" ask Harlan to the point.

"Shouldn't I doubt him when he's always with you?"

Harlan puffed the smoke upwards, "Amelie is already like a sister to me. He looked like my dead brother. His manner of speaking, his mannerisms, his cheerfulness, all things remind me of my sister."

"What's that all? Don't you have more feelings for her?"

Harlan laughed, "I wish he had feelings for me, but every moment he talks about is just you. I didn't want to ruin my relationship, just because I expressed my feelings for her. If he doesn't love me, at least he loves me as a brother."

"Then what about this?" Leon gave a photo to Harlan, suddenly Harlan immediately laughed out loud. Leon who saw it instantly felt astonished.

"I remember this. This is when Amelie is being chased by a man who is crazy about her. She was terrified and asked me to pretend to be her lover. Even under this counter was actually Lilian hiding and laughing at us, because of our very bad acting. Fortunately, the man left immediately. Do you doubt it because of this photo? In that case, you better not go near him anymore .. since a man like you is not worthy of an Amelie," Harlan patted Leon on the shoulder, and re-entered the minimarket.
