Aleea did not immediately reply to a message from Nathan, he was still a little surprised because it was not usual for Nathan to send such a message to him.

"We better get home now!" evan said after Aleea gave Nathan a message.

"Alright," replied Aleea.

Aleea then typed a message on her phone to reply to Nathan's message.

"No need to pick me up, I'm already on my way home!"

"Did Nathan tell you that often, Aleea?" ask Evan to Aleea.

"No, normally he never cares when I go and go home" Aleea replied.

Biiiippp biiiipp biiiiippp

Aleea's phone rang again, this time a call came in from Tika.

"Hello Tika" Aleea said after she received Tika's call.

"I really feel very desperate Aelea, I can't get a single friend who can help us in the bazaar later" said Tika.

"Aahhhh, should we follow him in the morning until noon?" asked Aleea to give her advice.

"It's a pity if we can't keep up until night, because this is one of the most influential ways of promotion for our cake shop" Tika replied.

"You're right, but we can't follow him from morning until night if we're just Tika, there should be at least one or two people who can help us" Aleea said.

"What if you ask Evan for help?" tika asked who made Aleea instantly bring her eyes to Evan.

"I've been a lot of trouble Tika, we better find another way out, we discuss it in the shop tomorrow morning!" aelea.

"Okay, bye!"

"Bye!"

Aleea put her phone back in her bag after she ended Tika's call.

"What's Aleea? is there a problem?" ask Evan to Aleea.

"Nothing" replied Aleea.

"Don't lie to Aleea, just tell me if you need my help!" said Evan who seemed to understand Aleea's problem.

"You've helped me a lot Evan, this time I'll try to solve it myself with Tika" Aleea replied.

"Are you sure?" evan asked making sure that only a nod of the head and a smile were answered by Aleea.

"If you need my help, don't hesitate to tell me Aleea, I would feel very guilty if I let you have trouble!" said Evan.

"I will definitely come to you if I have no other way out, but for now I will work on it myself with Tika," Aleea replied.

"Alright, hopefully you and Tika can solve your problems," said Evan who was returned with a nod of his head by Aleea.

After some time on the way, Evanpun arrived at Nathan's house.

As Aleea and Evan had just gotten out of the car, they saw Nathan sitting on the porch seat with the laptop and book in front of him.

"It looks like he's waiting for you" Evan told Aleea.

"No way," replied Aleea who also whispered.

"Thank you for taking me home, Evan, I'm coming in!" said Aleea who was answered with a nod of the head by Evan.

Aleea went inside the house, ignoring the real Nathan was indeed waiting for Aleea's return.

While Evan, he carries himself sitting in front of Nathan who looks busy with his laptop.

Without Aleea and Evan knowing, there was actually nothing important that Nathan did back then. He deliberately made himself look busy so that Aleea and Evan did not think that he was waiting for Aleea.

"Not intentionally met again?" nathan asked without taking his eyes off the laptop.

"You mean me and Aleea?" evan replies, but Nathan just keeps quiet without saying anything.

"I did pick him up, he always came home late at night and I was worried about him" Evan explained.

"Go home, I'm sleepy!" nathan said then closed his laptop and then moved from his seat.

"All right!" reply Evan then moved from his seat and walked into his car.

Nathan, taking his steps into the house, climbed the stairs and entered his room.

"Willfully picked her up out of worry? wh why? why are you worrying so much about him, Evan?" nathan asked and dropped himself on his bed in annoyance.

Inexplicably hearing Evan's reply upset him, there was something in him that made him want to be angry.

The day has changed. That morning Aleea woke up from her sleep as usual. After preparing himself, he went to the kitchen to make juice as his breakfast.

Aleea enjoyed her homemade juice while replying to Tika's message. After finishing her juice, Aleea grabbed her sling bag and walked out of the house as her booked taxi was already waiting in front.

On the other hand, the aunt who had just finished cooking, brought her cooking to the dinner table as usual and found Aleea's phone left on the dining table.

Aunty then ran out with Aleea's phone, but a taxi had already taken Aleea away.

Auntie went back in and put Aleea's phone on the dinner table like before.

Soon Nathan came down the stairs and took his steps towards the dining table.

"Hasn't Aleea left yet?" nathan asked his aunt after Nathan saw Aleea's phone at the dinner table.

"Just leaving sir, it seems that non Aleea doesn't know if her phone is left behind," replied the aunt.

"Basic sloppy," Nathan said slowly and took himself to sit down to enjoy his breakfast.

Biiiippp biiiipp biiiiippp

Aleea's phone rang, causing Nathan to immediately take his gaze toward Aleea's phone and see Tika's name there.

At first Nathan ignores him, but Aleea's phone keeps ringing which makes Nathan finally receive Tika's call.

"Hello Aleea, it looks like we're in trouble, the registries that follow the bazaar are very numerous so there are several selections so that we can take part in the bazaar, one of which is willing to take part in activities from morning to night," said Tika.

Nathan who heard what Tika said was silent, though he did not understand what Tika was saying at the time.

"We can't miss Aleea's bazaar, but we have to get one more member or we won't be able to follow Sunday's bazaar tomorrow!" said Tika.

"Bazars? what bazar?" nathan asked in his heart.

"Hello Aleea, do you hear me?" tika asked who had heard nothing from Aleea.

"Hello Aleea....."

Suddenly the sound of running steps entered the house, Nathan immediately brought his gaze towards the source of the sound and saw Aleea running towards him.

Nathan ends Tika's call and shows off Aleea's phone.

"Are you running to get this?" ask Nathan.

"Give me my phone!" said Aleea who tried to snatch his phone from Nathan's hand, but Nathan actually raised his hand so that Aleea could not take it.

"Explain to me what the bazaar means that you're going to do on Sunday!" nathan said that made Aleea so surprised.

"Did you open my phone?" aelea asked with an emotional look on her face.

"No" replied Nathan.

"Where did you find out about the bazaar?" ask Aelea.

"Your friend said everything" Nathan replied.

"Nathan, you have absolutely no right to open the contents of my phone to receive the call of my friend, you....."

"Just explain Aleea!" nathan cut Aleea's words.

"You're absolutely outrageous Nathan, you not only took my life but also took away my privacy!" aelea said reluctantly to answer Nathan's question.

"I won't return this phone if you don't explain it to me!" nathan said, taking his steps away with Aleea's phone.

"What should I explain? haven't you heard everything?" aelea asked with a small run after Nathan.

"I have to make sure first, how far he knows," Aleea said in his heart.

"Your friend just said that if you're short on members to help you at the bazaar held on Sunday, what bazaar does he mean and why did you get involved with the bazaar?" ask Nathan.

"Give me my phone first, I'll explain everything to you" Aleea said.

"No, explain first then I'll give it back!" reply Nathan.

Aleea let out a long sigh, lowered her head for a while then brought her gaze to Nathan who was standing before her.

"My cooking class is having a Sunday bazaar tomorrow, because my friend owns a cake shop, so he's following the bazaar and I'm helping him, but as you can hear, we're short of people to help us," aelea.

"That's all?" ask Nathan.

"Yes, since we're just the two of us, it's likely that we'll only follow the bazaar from morning until noon" Aleea replied, trying to get Nathan to believe her.

"Do you really want to help your friend?" ask Nathan.

"Of course, he was a good friend I first met in cooking class" Aleea replied.

"But it looks like you won't be able to follow the bazaar" Nathan said.

"Why?" ask Aelea.

"You can ask your friends yourself, but I can help if you want!" nathan said without answering Aleea's question.

"I don't need your help!" reply Aleea without hesitation.

"Alright, listen to me carefully Aleea, I will help your friend at the bazaar, if you agree I will return your phone, if you disagree then I will not return it!" nathan said that made Aleea round her eyes irritated.

"You promised to give it back after I told you everything, Nathan!" said Aleea who began to get emotional because Nathan reneged on his promise.

"I've changed my mind, so what's your decision?"

"My friend and I don't need your help at all, we can do it ourselves even if we just follow it from morning until noon, so give me back my phone right now!" aelea said firmly while trying to snatch her phone from Nathan's hands.

"It's not that easy for Aleea, this phone will come back to you if I can participate in that bazaar!" nathan replied and then took his steps away.

"Nathaaannn!!!!"

"Don't worry, I won't open your phone, I'll deactivate it because I brought it just in case you might change your mind!" nathan said with a faint smile.

"I won't change my mind so it's useless to take him, you....."

"You remember my office address, don't you? you can come over there to get your phone!" nathan cut Aleea off and got in the car and drove her away.

Nathan laughed with satisfaction in his car, while Aleea was silent with a face full of emotion.

"What does he really want? so sucks!" aelea grumbled as she carried her steps out of the house.

Just past the gate, a car stopped right in front of the gate and a woman got out of the car.

"Aleea, are you okay?" tika asked who brought her steps towards Aleea with worry.

"I'm fine, but why are you suddenly here?" reply Aleea.

"I called you earlier but you were silent, I tried to call again but didn't connect, I was worried something happened to you!" obviously Tika.

"Aaahh he completely disabled it apparently," Aleea said with a sigh.

"Him? who do you mean Aelea?" tanya Tika did not understand.

"I'll explain it on the way, we're going to the shophouse now" Aleea said.

They then get into the car and Tikapun immediately drive his car towards the shophouse.

"What happened to Aleea? are you really okay?" tika asked who was still worried about Aleea.

"Actually it's not entirely okay because the one who received your call this morning was Nathan" Aleea replied.

"Nathan then? why can?" tika was surprised.

"I accidentally left my phone at the dinner table, when I came back home, I saw Nathan carrying my phone and it looked like he had just received your call" Aleea explained.

"Aaahh deserved that I didn't hear your voice at all" Tika said.

"What were you talking about, Tika?" ask Aelea.

Tika then explained to Aleea about what she had said when she contacted Aleea, about the conditions to be able to follow the bazaar required to follow her from morning until night.

"Did I say something wrong Aleea? did Nathan scold you for what I said?" ask Tika at the end of her explanation.

"There's nothing wrong with Tika and most importantly Nathan not knowing about our cake shop, I'm just saying if the cake shop is yours" Aleea replied.

"Thank God then" said Tika relieved.

"But there is one more problem Tika," Aleea said.

"What's Aleea doing?" ask Tika.

"Nathan has my phone with him, he won't return my phone if I don't allow him to help at Sunday's bazaar" Aleea said.

"Where is the problem Aleea? don't we really need help? we get help, your phone is returned and all the problems are over!" reply Tika.

"Are you sure you'll let Nathan help us?" ask Aelea.

"Can't I just let it go?" tika asked back.

Aleea let out a long sigh then turned her gaze away from Tika.

"He couldn't possibly be willing to deal with my affairs, if he suddenly wanted to get involved with my affairs, there must be something he had planned and I don't know what he was really planning!" aelea said in her heart.

"I'm not going to force you to accept Nathan's help, but you should also remember Aleea, this bazaar is only done once and we won't be able to follow it if we can't get a friend who can help us!" said Tika.

"The two of us won't be able to handle it alone Aleea, we need help" Tika continued.

Aleea brought her gaze to Tika with a pushy look. What Tika said was true, but she hesitated to accept Nathan's help.
