A Box of Lunch

Amanda is still annoyed by Felix's actions against her, it's been 2 days since having dinner together made her wonder who Felix is. To Amanda's surprise, there appeared several articles about Felix

"Felix Leonidas started a securities company."

"Leonidas group grandson won the gold medal."

"Felix Leonidas graduated from the Master of Business Management at the University of Paris Pantheon-Sorbonne with the title Summa Cumlaude."

"Felix Leonidas dating Melissa?"

And there are many other articles about Felix, Amanda still doesn't believe that Felix is her cousin who is successful and famous in cyberspace, Amanda opens an article entitled "Felix Leonidas is dating Melissa." Amanda reads carefully the article and finds that Felix has a lover named Melissa Ardhyanara, the son of the owner of the largest food company in this world, reportedly broke up a year ago. The news made Amanda believe in one thing, maybe Felix was rude to her because she was still stressed or was upset because of Melissa. Amanda tries to find her name, she wonders if she is also the grandson of the famous group Leonidas? Inner Amanda. She typed "Amanda Leonidas Bramastsya Putri" in the Search field, but the results" no matching results were found for the search" made Amanda laugh to herself, how could she be famous like Felix, she entire social media is not her name, even when she was in high school when journalists reported on her. She admitted that she was not the grandson of the Leonidas Group, she did not want anyone but his family to know that he was the grandson of a large entrepreneur in Indonesia. For her, there is nothing to be proud of her, studying a Bachelor's degree at the University of Indonesia is not something to show off, even the great achievements she has ever achieved for Amanda is only luck and the will of Allah.

"Amanda .. dear? Open the door, mom wants to come in,” said Laras, tapping her daughter's room

"Yes Mom,

for a moment please," Amanda put down her cellphone and got up to open the door

"Come in Mom," said Amanda to Laras

“Amanda, the day before yesterday, Grandpa already offered to give capital for the restaurant you founded, how about it? Have you thought of the concept?" asked Laras

"Not yet, Amanda is still thinking about a social service project for June."

"Oh, I see ... it's okay, it's just that if your grandfather already knows your intention to build a restaurant or cafe, you will watch it," said Laras.

"Amanda has the concept, but Amanda wants it without anyone's help, if Amanda's money is enough, I will build the restaurant," explained Amanda.

"But unfortunately, if Grandpa is already rich, he will monitor the development of your restaurant."

"Yes Ma'am, Amanda quickly collected Amanda's money first, in the middle of the month, I can open a restaurant business," said Amanda.

"Yes, it's a shame if you have a plan like that, I am very happy to have a daughter like you," said Laras, stroking Amanda's hair lovingly.

" Felix is Om Rafa's son, it turns out to be famous, you know, he also graduated from a postgraduate degree in Paris, He’s got Summa Cumlaude! " said Amanda to Laras with eyes sparkling

"Wow, that's great ... it's just a shame he could start a securities company," said Laras

"Yes, it's cool, but he's a cool person, he's been so fierce again with me yesterday," said Amanda

"You can't think like that, Felix was probably tired yesterday, that's why he angry to you," said Laras, giving a positive response to her daughter.

"Yes, maybe, I have a lot of thoughts," said Amanda

"Yes, dear, then Mom goes down to the room first, don't you sleep at night, dear" said Laras

"Yes Ma"

Amanda lay down on the bed, her eyes still dreaming of Felix, she was very confused why Felix said "disgusted" to her, even though yesterday was the first day they met since 17 years ago, Amanda still remembers when they were child, Amanda loved playing with Felix, playing plot hide and seek, cooking, and other small children's games. She did not understand what was wrong with her. All Amanda wanted was to make peace with Felix, suddenly an idea occurred to Amanda's head to find Felix's office address.

"Wow, what are you cooking Amanda ?? Does it smell really good?" Bram asked Amanda

"Daddy, want to try it? This is Fettucini Alfredo, a typical Italian dish, please try it," said Amanda to Bram while tasting the fettucini.

"Mmm, Dad who has been to Italy tried the original fettucini lost to yours," said Bram praising Amanda.

"Ah, really??" said Amanda smiling shyly

"If that's the case, please take it for lunch, daddy and mama," asked Bram

"Are you coming today, Mom, Dad?" asked Amanda as she prepared lunch boxes for the two of them

"Yes dear, your mother accompanying dad at the office, if you have any activities today, let me know," said Bram

"Yes, maybe Amanda will stop by at Park, tell the children and prepare for the next event, then stop by at a friend's office in the afternoon," said Amanda.

"Hey, what friends are you?" asked Bram teasing his son

"Friends are real," said Amanda, lying, even though she wanted to visit Felix's office

"Well, dad never forbid you to want to be friends with anyone. Please

remember dear, take care of yourself, if there is anything, just call daddy and you can leave if it's accompanied by Mr Dirga," said Bram

"Yes daddy this is lunch for mom and dad." Amanda gave 2 boxes of lunch

"Thank you, dear, daddy is leaving, mom is like waiting outside, you hurriedly showered, smelled of onions," said Bram.

"Yes Dad!" replied Amanda, she immediately went up to her room and did a morning shower ritual, today she wore a matching dress, a little formal but kept her elegant and beautiful, not forgetting she put lipstick and powder on her face. She is very excited today to teach the orphanage children with other social care teams, even none of her friends realize that she is the son of Bramastya, a wealthy businessman. His humble nature and demeanor, full of affection and tenderness make her look like the perfect angel in this world.

"Sir, please take me home first, then later to the Arya Sekuritas office, sir," said Amanda to Mr. Dirga, the driver.

"Yes, Don't you want to register to be an investor?" asked Mr. Dirga

"Eh? No sir, I just want to visit a friend,” said Amanda

Mr. Dirga just smiled and nodded at Amanda, during the trip Amanda was still busy observing Felix's photo, she was still curious, what was wrong with Felix. Arriving at Amanda's house, she immediately heated the remaining fettuccini and prepared it in a lunch box. She was also happy to decorate the fettuccini to be beautiful with mint leaves on top. Of course, she prepared all this for Felix.

"Good morning, miss, can I meet Mr. Felix Arya Leonidas?" Amanda asked a woman at the receptionist table

"Oh sorry, did you make an appointment beforehand?" asked the woman

"Oh, I haven't come directly yet so I didn't have time to tell him," said Amanda

"Then what purpose do you have?"

"I only came to bring lunch," said Amanda

"I'm sorry miss, but there is already a catering company filling in," said the woman thought Amanda sales catering who came to offer their wares

"Oh that's not it, I am Amanda, his cousin," said Amanda with a laugh

"Wow, I'm sorry miss, I misunderstood. Then I'll call Mr. Felix's office first,” said the woman

Shortly after the receptionist called Felix, she invited Amanda to Felix's room

The magnificent and neatly arranged office building spoiled Amanda's eyes, making Amanda amazed to return to the hardworking figure of Felix, she stepped towards the main door of Felix's room there was his secretary Tifani, and she invited Amanda to come in, seen Felix busy with paper that Amanda didn't know what was in.

"Hello," said Amanda quietly afraid to disturb Felix, Felix immediately stopped his activities and saw Amanda

“WHO DOES THIS WOMEN ENTER ?? !! TIFFANI !!" shouted Felix which shocked Amanda

"Yes, sir? I allowed it, she said, your father's cousin?” asked Tifani

“FROM NOW DON'T LET HER ENTER !! LISTEN TO ME CAREFULLY I DON'T HAVE SIBLINGS! " Felix ordered in a harsh tone

"Alright sir, come on the miss, please leave the room." Tifani asked Amanda

"Wait, I want to give this, this is my creation," said Amanda putting down the lunchbox he had prepared for Felix.

"I do not know what my fault was, but I hope you will keep your relationship with me," said Amanda

"I DO NOT NEED WASTE LIKE THIS, TIFFANI, TAKE THIS!" said Felix harshly and Tifani immediately took the provisions. Felix looked back at the file, he was holding

"I'm sorry if I bothered you, then I'll go home," said Amanda in a trembling voice holding back tears then turned around out of the room.

Amanda's tears broke immediately, she could not hold back the pain in her heart, she still remembers how she used to be close to Felix, but now she is very different, Felix is rude, angry and doesn't even want to try his cooking, Amanda has no chance to think of Felix as his brother. Mr. Dirga, who watched Amanda who was crying, only gave a tissue without asking Amanda anything, Mr. Dirga had never seen Amanda who was crying like this, just silent without sobbing.
