CHECKMATE

She who?

"W-yes I met someone here, that's what I said. I handed him some office papers, "Amanda answered just like that

"Ah you yourself why are here. Oh yes I just remembered, you want to go with your friend yes," said Amanda again with a smile as much as possible.

He was really nervous this time. Mumbles a prayer in the heart, hoping Bastian doesn't see Def there. He's not ready to face anything until it happens.

Bastian looked at Amanda fixedly, looking for honesty in the woman's eyes.

"You're not covering something up, are you?" ask Bastian then.

"No Bas, why am I lying" Amanda replied with a smile

"Where are your friends? Not yet come, is it?"

"Em then, I'll just go home first, Bas. I don't want to interrupt your time and your friends. Have fun, Bas," he said again

I was really nervous this time. I beg Bastian, don't ask again. If I die, I just want to disappear, how is this.

"Hey what's up. Why are you suddenly so weird?" ask Bastian full of questions

"No bus, I'm just----"

He had not finished his speech, when Def was near them and called his name.

"Do you know him?" ask Def.

It turned out that the man had noticed the interaction of the two people. Amanda's nervous expression when talking to Bastian, quite caught his attention.

Hearing Def call out his name, the instant Amanda's body froze, her tongue felt stiff. His heart felt so tight that he had trouble breathing

What should I say to these two men. I wasn't ready for what might happen next. It's not time Bastian found out about this. Oh my God, please, not now

"You know this guy Amanda?" ask Def again

Amanda forced her brain to think fast. At any rate he should be able to get out of this stifling situation.

"Eh Mr. Def," said Amanda smiling and bowing salute

"Em, I'm calm that the file will be revised again soon," he said again while grinning stiffly

The two men, looked at Amanda with puzzled looks. Trying to digest every word Amanda said.

Moreover Def, he really did not understand what Amanda meant. Why all of a sudden the girl called him Father. And what is he talking about? The file? Since when did Amanda work with her company?

Realizing there was no response from the two, Amanda immediately took over the conversation

"Bas, this is Mr. Def who I told you about at the time" he told Bastian

"Sir Def, introduce this to my husband Bastian" he said again staring at Def

Again the two men became more confused. Then accidentally, the two of them looked at each other for a few seconds. And in the next second, the two stared at Amanda simultaneously.

"Em, Bas, I'm going home first. Enjoy your time with your friends,"

"Oh yes, Mr. Def, I'm first sir. Thanks for the cooperation,"

After saying so Amanda immediately left the two men who were confused. Amanda left, without waiting for an answer from the two.

Not long after, Bastian ran after him. Then as soon as possible hold the girl's body.

"Amanda wait. I'll take you home" Bastian said

"No bus, I can take a taxi. Enjoy your time with your friends. I don't want to bother you, "Anne replied

Bastian rattled his eyes, trying to figure out what was going on with his wife. From the beginning of their meeting at the restaurant, clearly visible from the look on Amanda's face, she was hiding something.

"You're hiding something from me, aren't you?" ask Bastian then

"No Bus, I'm just-----,"

"Let's go home, there's something you need to explain to me,"
