I'm Not Juliet

part 1

Amanda was picking a special gift on her best friend's birthday. Last year Amanda gave a watch to Romi because Romi really likes to wear a watch. Amanda's hand-watches last year went missing as they swam in a public pool. Romi was very sad because the clock was given by his best friend Amanda. This time Amanda wants to give you another watch to replace the one lost last year.

" He sure likes this Armi clock" Amanda muttered while choosing one of Armi's colored clocks and models.

Amanda queues at the cashier, many come to buy gifts at the store because the store provides a lot of goods and varies to be made birthday gifts for the closest people. The most popular by people because the store wraps gifts for free and can choose the model. Amanda chose the leaf motif gift paper to be the same color as the gift to be given.

" I can't wait to give it to her" Amanda thought as she headed home.

Amanda had stopped by Romi's house which was 100 meters from his house. Romi's parents were close friends with Amanda's parents. Their parents have been friends since their parents were in High School. Since childhood Amanda and Romi have been friends and even look like brothers.

" Bi..what time does Romi arrive? " ask Amanda to her mother Romi who is buying vegetables on the brothers who pass by.

" Eh son Manda, soon to arrive" said Aunt with a smile.

Romi works in the City at a private bank. Romi also lived in boarding houses in the City, once a week Romi returned to the home of his master who was only 30 km away. While working in the City, Romi rarely met Amanda. They only connect through social media or just a phone. Romi is 3 years older than Amanda so Romi sometimes assume that Amanda is his sister.

" That's it" Amanda said, pointing to the car that was about to park in front of Aunt's house.

Romi's car was parked and Romi got out of his car. Romi shook his mother's hand and hugged her. Amanda who was there also shook hands with Romi.

" Where's manda from?" romi said as he pulled the nose of his best friend.

" There is no need to ask, not every day you come here" said Bibi with a smile and bring vegetables into their home.

" Come, Brother also wants to talk to you about something" Romi told his best friend.

Manda then said goodbye and went home, Romi just stared at his friend who passed from him. Romi then walked into his house and greeted his father who was sitting reading the newspaper. Romi's father was very happy to see his son coming home once a week. Father told Romi to take a bath and rest in his room while Mom prepared food for the newly arrived Romi.

Romi went into his room and threw himself in the room. The journey not too far away made him a little tired. Romi stared at his room which was very neat and clean.

" Thank you Mom for taking care of my room" Romi murmured.

Mother who was then entering Romi's room heard Romi muttering.

" Amanda is caring, not Mom" said the mother, putting warm tea for her child.

Mom then came out of Romi's room and left Romi alone in his room.

" It's very good Amanda" said Romi slowly.

Romi got up and picked up the towel on his room towel hanger. Romi rushed to take a shower to make his body feel fresher.
