"Mom, do you see my power bank?" asked Felix to Ajeng, his mother

"This? Is yours?" said Ajeng, lifting Felix's black power bank

"Well yes, then Felix will go to the office first," said Felix

"Honey, can't you just postpone, you have Amanda here," said Ajeng, Felix immediately sat down and stared at his mother.

"What? Amanda ??! What's she doing here? " said Felix in an angry tone

"Why are you so angry? You don't remember? You used to like you to play with her when you were in grade 1 elementary school, he was still in kindergarten, ”said Ajeng

"Felix will go first," said Felix

"What? Felix? Felix?” called Ajeng, but Felix ignored her and waved his hand and then stepped down quickly. Amanda, who heard that Felix had come down, breathed a sigh of relief, she immediately came out of the bathroom and sat back on the sofa and smiled at Ajeng.

"Sorry auntie, Amanda was really dying, we arrived ..." Amanda's words stopped when she heard Felix coming back up the stairs, for a moment their eyes met, Amanda immediately looked down in fear and chose to stare at a cup of tea in front of her, refusing to look at Felix.

"What are you doing here?" said Felix right beside Amanda looking at Amanda with an annoyed look. However, Amanda was unable to look at Felix, his body trembled with fear, unable to meet Felix's sharp gaze

"Unfortunately why are you like that with Amanda, come on sit here," said Ajeng patting the sofa beside him, gesturing Felix to sit down, but Felix did not obey Ajeng's orders and took his laptop which was left, and then came down without saying goodbye.

"Sorry, Amanda, Felix is a person like that, he is tough but actually he's a good boy," said Ajeng.

"Yes, auntie, it's fine," Amanda said, smiling awkwardly

"Okay, where was it? I give you a Bakery card, so you can immediately order, just call the production department, just tell if you're my niece, "said Ajeng.

"Oh I see, yes auntie thanks a lot, Amanda still wants to find a strategic place to build a cafe first," said Amanda.

"You're welcome, let's have lunch," said Ajeng

The two of them have lunch at Bon Ami restaurant and chat with each other about business. Amanda really likes the character Ajeng who cares about her business.

Amanda lay down on her bed, she closed her eyes, instantly the image of Felix's face filled Amanda's mind, his angry face, his harsh words made Amanda feel pain in her heart. She never knew what was wrong with Felix being rude to her, even though she really wanted to think of Felix as her older brother, she was very lonely alone without her siblings, her mother and father were busy with their company and business. Amanda opened her eyes wiping her tears that fell and opened her bag, she looked for her cellphone, touched the contents of her bag touched the name card and she picked it up with the name "Amar Al Fattah" then a row of phone numbers underneath, Amanda remembered the shadow of Amar's shady face and his words that wished he wanted to be close to Amanda made Amanda's face heated up to smile to himself. Amar, a young man who is very handsome and full of tenderness, is able to attract Amanda's heart. Amanda has entered Amar's phone number but hasn't started chatting with Amar yet. Amanda opened his laptop, looked for the design file for building his cafe, and started drafting the concept and budget. Before long, his cellphone rang, Amanda immediately picked it up

"Hello?" said Amanda

"WHY YOU MEET AJENG?" Felix snapped, which surprised Amanda, moving her phone away from her ear

"I just visited," said Amanda

“CLOSE AMOUNT, I DON'T WANT TO LOOK AT MY FAMILY CLOSE !! UNDERSTAND?" said Felix snapping at Amanda

"But, what was my fault? I don't know what I did wrong, why are you rude to your own siblings? " said Amanda

"Oh, we siblings? Realize! You and me, NO BLOOD relationship! " said Felix

"Yes, I know, I really know, but you and I are recognized as Leon's grandson, that means you are my siblings," said Amanda trying to stay calm in answering Felix's words.

"I NEVER DON'T GET LOOKED UP, DON'T APPEAR IN MY FAMILY!" shouted Felix angrily

"Felix .. I mean it ..." Amanda's words were interrupted, Felix disconnected the phone unilaterally, Amanda called the number again but Felix rejected it. Amanda just sighed, trying to be patient with Felix, as she gradually got used to Felix's rude nature. Amanda returned to focus on her laptop, took his mind off Felix's harsh remarks, and started planning her business.

While Felix in his large office room was annoyed with Amanda, his fists clenched and his face hardened with anger, he swore that his whole life hated Amanda Leonidas Bramastsya Putri because her bad past made him fall into black holes and revenge overtook him. Felix's cellphone rings, making Amanda's anger distracted, there is the name Amar, Felix's best friend since college.

"Yes?" said Felix

"How's your business? Amar asked

"Well, it's just that I'm a little emotional now," said Felix to Amar

"Shall we have dinner together? I know you are still in the office, right? I haven't seen your car out of the office, ”said Amar

"Wow, it seems you really care about me, hahaha, even if you know my car is out or not," said Felix.

"It's just because my single female employees are all crazy about you, they must be excited to see you enter or leave the office," said Amar.

"So I'm handsome, huh, more handsome than you?" said Felix laughing

"Of course, but I'm much more handsome," said Amar

"But you never dated, could it be that you love me all this time?" said Felix teasing Amar

"Ah never mind, I will confess my love later at the restaurant, let's eat together, today I want to eat chicken noodles," said Amar.

"I want Padang rice," said Felix

"Okay, today I obey you Padang rice," said Amar

"Ready for me to go now" Felix replied and then turned off the phone

Felix cleared his job and headed for the parking lot, riding his car to his favorite Padang restaurant. Apparently he came too fast, Amar still didn't come, he busied himself while waiting for Amar to open his cellphone there was Amanda's name written again, his former nickname, made him annoyed again, he threw his cellphone roughly on the table.

"Hey, you have come, sorry I'm late," said Amar to Felix

"Ah, relax, sit down, mar, order the food you like," said Felix

"Oh no, today let me treat you, I've found my soul mate," said Amar happily full of joy.

"Oh, yes? Who is the woman who can attract your attention Amar AL Fattah? ”said Felix teasing Amar

"Later, when I get it I will introduce you, she is very beautiful which is definitely not your typical," said Amar

"It must be a cute woman," Felix replied quickly

They enjoy eating without realizing that the person loved by Amar is someone Felix has hated all this time. Sometimes life leads us to a choice, a friend or a lover.
