Love Without Memory

Been busy

Aleea was still on the second floor of the shophouse that had just been rented by Aleea and Tika. Aleea who had been trying to hide her sadness in the morning had to finally let her tears fall in front of Evan.

Somehow, he always felt calmer and more comfortable when with Evan, making him able to be himself without having to pretend and hide his sadness.

"I don't know what kind of kindness Evan has to repay, but I'm certainly very lucky to know you" Aleea said, patting her hand gently.

Instantly Evan released his hand on Aleea, for some reason since yesterday Evan found it difficult to hold himself back from overdoing things on Aleea.

Seeing Aleea grieving always made Evan feel guilty and the guilt even more made Evan want to bring Aleea into his arms.

But Evan realizes that he must be able to maintain his attitude, because after all Aleea is the wife of his best friend.

"Have you ever had Evan's girlfriend?" aelea asked with her eyes on Evan.

"I never thought about that Aleea," Evan replied.

"Why? a man as good as you must be liked by many women, right?" ask Aelea.

"I don't hang out much with Aleea women, maybe in their eyes I'm not a nice guy either" Evan replied.

"No, no, you're a very nice guy, not only handsome but you can also treat women very well and any woman I would love a guy like you Evan," aelea.

"You're exaggerating Aleea, it's the women who approached Nathan a long time ago" Evan replied.

"Nathan then? cold guy like him? I can't believe it!"

"Is there no proof yet?" ask Evan.

"What evidence?" reply Aleea asked.

"You," Evan replied with a smile on Aleea.

Aleea sighed then shifted her gaze away from Evan.

"I don't understand at all why I could have a relationship with him and even decide to get married" Aleea said.

"There's no other reason than because you love Aleea, you love each other and decided to get married, there's nothing wrong with that" Evan replied.

"If we really love each other, why would there be such a ridiculous deal....."

Aleea paused, almost telling Evan about his marriage deal with Nathan that no one else should have known.

"Silly deal?" ask Evan.

"Forget it, now that I just need to focus on my new business, I won't care about Nathan anymore" Aleea replied.

"Have you prepared everything Aleea?" ask Evan.

"Still in the process, Tika and I will be very busy these few days" Aleea replied.

"I've Nathan will also be very busy Aleea, we have to prepare for an event that will be held in a few days, so maybe Nathan will often come home late for a few days" said Evan.

"I don't care about him Evan, so there's no need to tell me his busy life" Aleea replied.

"Okay, how about we have dinner before I take you home?" ask Evan.

"Good idea," Aleea replied with a nod of her head in agreement.

Aleea and Evan then leave the balcony and exit the shophouse. After locking the structure, Aleea and Evan leave the shophouse to go to one of the restaurants not far from the shophouse.

Arriving at the restaurant, they immediately looked for a seat and ordered food and drinks.

They chatted, talked about things until finally their food and drink orders came.

Just enjoying their meal, someone suddenly came by patting Evan on the shoulder.

"Sister Evan!" call Rania by patting Evan on the shoulder.

Not only Evan, Alee was surprised by Rania's sudden arrival.

"Rania, what are you doing here?" ask Evan to Rania.

"Of course dinner, can Rania join us?" rania replied while bringing her gaze to Evan and Aleea while asking.

Before Evan answered him, he brought his gaze to Aleea, as if asking Aleea for approval.

"Of course you can" Aleea said with a smile.

Evan then calls the waiters to have Rania order her food and drinks.

"Are you alone, Rania?" aelea asked Rania.

"Yes, brother, are Aleea and Evan's brother just here?" reply Rania.

"Yes," Aleea replied with a nod of her head.

"Waaahh if there is someone who does not know Aleea and Evan's brother, they will definitely think you are a lover or even a married couple" said Rania.

"Nathan is busy with Rania, so he asked me to accompany Aleea" Evan said.

"Like when you came home from your mom and dad's show?" rania asked who made Aleea and Evan instantly bring their gaze to Rania.

"Rania saw Aleea's brother get into Evan's car, it looks like Aleea was waiting for Evan's brother on the side of the road at that time" Rania continued.

"Don't misunderstand Rania, I didn't wait for Evan at all, I was standing by the side of the road because Nathan dropped me off there, he had to go somewhere else and couldn't take me home, so I stood there waiting for a taxi" Aleea said.

"But....."

"And Nathan called me to pick up Aleea, so I came to pick her up as per Nathan's orders, didn't you know that your brother always gave me orders even outside the office?" sahut Evan's.

"Yeah.. Rania understood," Rania said with a nod of her head.

Shortly after Rania's food arrives, they enjoy their dinner.

The atmosphere was a little awkward after Rania's arrival, especially after Rania said and asked some things that were quite disturbing for Aleea and Evan.

"Did Evan remember the doll he gave Rania before Rania went abroad?" ask Rania to Evan.

"Doraemon doll?" reply Evan guessed.

"Yes, my sister gave the doll so that Rania could get whatever Rania asked of Doraemon's magic bag" said Rania.

"Yes I remember it" replied Evan.

"Sister Evan should know, all this time Rania can never sleep without the doll, so Rania always takes him to sleep and hugs him" said Rania.

"You are a child who loves dolls" Evan replied with a smile.

"Rania is not a child anymore sister!" rania was upset.

"But only a child sleeps with a doll, Rania," Evan replied with a chuckle.

"Kakaaakk.." call Rania spoiled while gently hitting Evan's shoulder.

"It's been. finish your food before it gets cold, since you can never eat quietly, since long ago" said Evan.

"Rania can only eat quietly while Rania is with Evan," Rania replied with a smile.

"But...."

"I'm sorry to go to the toilet for a while" Aleea said, prompting Evan to stop.

After Aleea left, Rania shifted her seat to get closer to Aleea.

"It looks like Evan's brother is very close to Aleea's, is that right?" rania asked half a whisper.

"Me and Aleea are close because she's Nathan's wife, just like you, I'm close to you because you're Nathan's sister, in essence, I'm close to everyone who comes into contact with Nathan," continued Evan.

"Didn't that make Nathan's brother jealous?" ask Rania.

"You can ask Nathan, Rania, yourself" Evan replied.

Shortly after, Aleea returned, after finishing dinner, and they left the restaurant.

"Can Evan's sister take Rania home?" rania asked with Evan's hand.

"Are you not with the driver?" evan asked back.

"Rania is with the driver, but Rania wants to go home with her sister" Rania said.

"I have to drive Aleea, you can go home with your driver, Rania!" said Evan.

"What if Aleea's sister comes home with Rania's driver? does Brother Aleea mind?" ask Rania to Aleea.

"No, I can even go home by taxi" Aleea replied.

"Don't sister, it's better for Aleea to go home with Rania and Rania will come home with Evan's brother, how? fair right?"

"But....."

"Okay, agreed!" aleea smiled, before Evan could say his disapproval.

"Alright then, take good care of yourself Aleea" Evan told Aleea.

Aleea simply smiled with a nod of her head.

"Sister wait here for a moment, Rania will tell the driver Rania to take her sister" said Rania, who was only answered with a nod of the head by Aleea.

"Bye brother!" rania said as she waved her hand at Aleea while her other hand clasped her hand tightly.

Aleea simply returned Rania's hand with a smile without saying anything.

"They were very close" Aleea said inwardly.

Shortly after Rania's driver arrived, Aleeapun got into the car and was immediately driven home by Rania's driver.

After a while on the way, Alee reached his home, and Nathan had just arrived home.

"Thank you sir" Aleea told Rania's driver and walked into the house, followed by Nathan running after him.

"Why are you with driver Rania?" nathan asked Aleea.

"I met Rania at the restaurant," Aleea replied briefly without stopping her scarcity.

"What about Rania? I didn't see him!" nathan asked who was still following Aleea's footsteps.

"He came home with Evan" replied Aleea who continued walking up the stairs.

"Evans? did the three of you just have dinner together?" nathan asked who was only replied with a nod of the head by Aleea.

"Did Rania say something to you?" nathan asked who had been slapped in the head by Aleea.

"You didn't say anything to her, did you?" ask Nathan.

"No, don't worry, it's just me and Evan that keep all your rot!" aelea answered and went into her room.

"You....."

BRAAAAKKKKKK

Aleea closed the door of her room very tightly, making Nathan instantly stop her speech.

Nathanpun could only sigh in annoyance and then enter his room.

"He thinks how good he is? she even sleeps in the place of other men when she already has a husband, a cheap base woman does not know herself!" nathan grumbled annoyed while throwing his briefcase in any direction.

**

The days have changed. Aleea was getting busy with the preparation of her new business with Tika. So is Nathan and Evan who are busy with events that will soon be held.

Every day Aleea leaves the house early in the morning to go to the shophouse and take cooking classes and return to the shop with Tika.

Aleea and Tika were really trying to prepare everything as best they could because they did not want to miss the opportunity they had already gotten.

That day Aleea and Tika had just finished arranging the first floor of their shophouse. Two long storefronts, a cooler, several chairs and tables are in place.

While at the back, there is already a large oven with several large baking pans and several small pans with different shapes.

Several shelves lined up in place with a refrigerator and a large table that filled the back of the shophouse's first floor.

On the second floor, Aleea and Tika used the room to rest while relaxing and enjoying the view of the highway from the balcony.

They both designed the entire shophouse according to the design they had agreed on before.

They try to make their workplace as comfortable as possible so that they can do their work with a happy heart.

After a few days passed, the two-story shophouse managed them to magic into a comfortable working place for the two of them.

That day, Aleea and Tika had just bought the production raw materials they needed and started storing and arranging them in the shophouse.

Aleea and Tika also started trying to make cakes and some types of bread they had learned in cooking classes.

They make the cake and bread to be a little different, in accordance with their respective creativity while still bringing together the taste and quality.

At exactly 7 pm Aleea and Tika had already finished everything, including distributing the cakes and bread they made for the tester as well as the initial steps of their promotion.

"Today was really very tiring Aleea, but it was also very pleasant" Tika said.

"I agree, I also feel it, tired and happy, I can't wait to have an opening in a few days" Aleea replied.

"Have you told Evan about the opening date?" ask Tika.

"No, I'm going to tell her and give her this cake and bread tester" Aleea replied.

"Well then, let's go home, I'll take you!" tika said as she moved from her seat.

"Mmmm... Can you take me to Evan's apartment, Tika?" aelea asked doubtfully.

"Of course, come on!" reply Tika with a full smile.

Aleeapun left for Evan's apartment with escorted by Tika. Arriving there, Tika immediately drove her car away, while Aleea immediately took her steps in and walked towards the elevator that led her to the apartment unit Evan was in.

Arriving in front of Evan's room, Aleea rang the bell and knocked on the door several times, but the door did not open either.

"Hasn't he gone home yet?" aelea asked herself.

Shortly afterwards Aleea saw Evan who had just stepped out of the elevator. I waited for Evan with a smile.

But instantly his smile faded when he saw Evan who looked pale and limp at that moment.

"Aleea, since when are you here?" ask Evan to Aleea.

"Just now, are you okay?" reply Aleea.

Evan just smiled without saying anything. But when he was pressing the password to open the door, Evan suddenly lost his balance and almost fell.

But Aleea swiftly restrained Evan's body and at that moment Aleea realized that Evan was having a fever.
