CHECKMATE

Amanda and Ella

"Hallo Ella, where are you? Can I just go in Ella's room for a second?" amanda said impatiently, with a radiant face. He is really happy at the moment. Since the ringing of the phone that brought the news of joy, a smile never escaped from her beautiful face.

"Hallo Manda, what's wrong. You're so shocking to know. You look so happy Manda, what's up, hem?" said Ella who was no less enthusiastic

" Hurry up Ella, don't make me wait. This is really good news you should hear. I'm really happy Ella" said Amanda half-calling for being too happy

"huh, okay-okay, I'll be here soon. I don't want to mess with your feelings, because it's waiting for me Manda. Whatever the news, I'm happy, too" Ella said sincerely

Ella is Amanda's best friend, as well as her personal assistant. Amanda already considers Ella her own brother. They are both orphans. They got nobody, Amanda for Ella, Ella for Amanda.

Maybe Ella's past is better than Amanda's. Ella used to have a family, her father and mother loved her very much. Until one day, his father and mother had a pretty bad accident. Both of Ella's parents died. Ella was completely devastated and devastated, she had no one in this world.

But life has its own way. In her worst days, a girl named Amanda Manuwella puts her hands together, helps Ella, lifts her from a slump. From then on they were together, having a day

"You don't have to repay my kindness Ella. There is no payment for a favor. You just have to do one thing, stay with me. When I laugh, cry, even when I'm down at once. Promise me Ella".

The words were still clearly heard in Ella's ears. Every time he remembered that, his heart warmed. He knew Amanda was sincere with him. From that day on, Amanda was a priority in her life.

Amanda's happiness, is Ella's happiness. This is how true friendship comes between the two. True friends will always put love at all times, even become brothers in difficulties.

The door of Amandapun's office opened, showing a young woman who was quite beautiful, elegant, with a proportional body shape. With a smile as bright as the sun, approached Amanda.

Amanda stood up, welcoming him with a smile that was no less bright. Even its brightness overcame the sunlight that afternoon. The two of them hugged each other, as if they had never met for a long time. That's how they usually are.

" What's the matter, Manda, how's the good news?" ella was impatient. Amanda just smiled, pulled Ella's hand, took her to sit on the sofa in her study.

"Please Ella, I will definitely tell you everything" he said with a smile

Ella then sat down next to Amanda, preparing her heart and mind, to hear the happy news from her best friend.

Amanda took a deep breath, neutralizing her heartbeat. He was silent for a moment and said,

" Geez Amanda, what do I think. Are you not often like that too. That news didn't interest Amanda. You're taking my time. This can also be told to me on the phone" Ella said slightly disappointedly

Hearing that Amanda became upset, she hit Ella's arm, quite tight

"Aduuuh, sick Manda. What's wrong with you, what's wrong with me?" ella said she did not lose her regret

"I'm happy, and you just respond like that. Huh, I'm disappointed," said Amanda with a pouty look impressed contrived.

"Ella, that makes me happy, it's not about dinner. But Def told me to go and get a beautiful one, when he'll see her later" Amanda said

"You're so innocent Manda, in saying it's like finding a treasure" Ella said in her heart.

"So, what do you want from me, Manda?" said Ella

"I have to how Ella is, what I'm gonna do. What clothes should I wear. I don't want to disappoint Def" Amanda said expectantly

"Manda, you're quite yourself, you don't have to change just to please others. If Def loves you, he'll accept you for who you are. No matter who you are, how you look" Ella said, smiling and stroking Amanda's shoulders.

"You know what I mean, right?" He said again

"He's Ella, I understand what you mean" Amanda said.

"But what if he's gonna express his feelings to me tonight? What I should do. You know he was my first love, and I don't have any experience with this either" she added

Ella understood the feelings of her best friend. Def is Amanda's first love. Ella herself does not know for sure, whether Def is a good man, as she has always seen. Amanda loves Def so much, Ella doesn't want to break the girl's heart. After all, when Amanda was happy she was also in it.

"Manda, if she loves you, you'll only return her love. There's nothing you need to do anymore. If you accept his love say yes, if you don't accept then say no. Youunderstand?" said Ella softly.

"Whatever it is, Manda, I must support you. Be happy" Ella said, hugging Amanda. It shows that she really loves Amanda. She supports Amanda. She is Amanda's place to go home, her place when she is tired, sharing her wounds on the journey of her life.
