Love Without Memory
Aelea Decree

After some time on the way, Aleea and Tika arrived at their shophouse.

Along the way until they arrived at the shophouse, Aleea was still thinking about what she should have done, whether to let Nathan help her or to reject her.

Arriving at the shophouse, Aleea and Tika split the task as usual, Aleea cleaned the shophouse and Tika prepared the dough.

As time passed, Aleea and Tika both arranged their cakes and bread in the storefront.

Biiiippp biiiipp biiiiippp

Tika's phone rang, a message came in from their cooking class group.

After Tika read it, Tika gave her phone to Aleea for Aleea to also read it.

"Don't forget, it's the last day to sign up for the bazaar, who's fast he got!"

Aleea and Tika instantly looked at each other after Aleea read the message.

"The decision is with you Aleea!" tika said with a smile.

Aleea let out a long sigh and then took herself to sit down, trying to think clearly before she made her decision.

"I need my phone because there's a lot of important stuff in there, but do I have to let Nathan help me?" inner Aleea asked inwardly.

Aleea then brought her gaze to Tika who was cleaning the table, she fell silent for a while and again let out a long sigh.

"Don't be too burdened by this Aleea, I'll agree to whatever decision you make, if indeed we can't keep up with the bazaar, there might be another bazaar that we can follow, whether it's that time!" said Tika who understood Aleea's unease back then.

"Why are you so good to me, Tika? you're making me feel so guilty if we can't keep up with Sunday's bazaar!"

"Hahaha..don't say that Aleea, this is our pastry shop, this is our business both of us, I can't be selfish with just being concerned with my own desires, so I understand your difficulties Aleea, I can't be selfish, don't worry!" said Tika.

"Agoist? Tika's right, I can't be selfish, this is the business that I'm in with Tika, just because of my personal problems and Nathan's, I can't take decisions personally" Aleea said in her heart.

"I know what I have to do now" Aleea said.

"really? what'sthat?" ask Tika.

"But first I have to make sure, do you really mind if Nathan helps us out at the bazaar?"

"Of course not, I'd be very grateful to anyone who would help us" Tika replied without hesitation.

"Well then, I'll let Nathan help us" Aleea said.

"really? are you serious?" tanya Tika was full of spirit.

"Why are you suddenly so excited?" reply Aleea asked.

"As far as you know Aleea, since yesterday I thought about this matter, I tried to contact all my friends here but no one could help me, I was really very stressed, I was really stressed, what's more when you hear the new announcement this morning!" obviously Tika.

"So I'm really happy if anyone wants to help us, whether it's Nathan or anyone else, I'd be really very grateful to him!" continued Tika.

"I'm sorry Tika, I can't help much for our business" Aleea said.

"It is precisely you who contributed a lot in this business Aleea, more than 50% of the capital for this business is from you, have you forgotten that?" reply Tika.

Aleea smiled then moved from her seat and hugged Tika who was standing nearby.

"I'm really lucky to be friends with you, Tika!" aelea.

"I'm also very lucky to be friends with you, Aleea," Tika replied.

"So, what are you gonna do now?" tika continued asking while releasing herself from Aleea's embrace.

"I have to go see Nathan, and I need my phone too!" answer Aelea.

"Don't you mind if I go see Nathan now?" aelea asked.

"No, go and bring your phone back!" tika replied with a full smile.

Aleea then asked Tika for help to book a taxi, after the taxi came, Aleeapun immediately left the shophouse, went to the office to meet Nathan.

Aleea deliberately met Nathan as soon as possible because he had to make sure that Nathan really wanted to help him so that he could immediately register his cake shop to follow the bazaar.

Arriving at the office, Aleea immediately brought her steps in. Having learned of Nathan's location, Aleea immediately entered the elevator that led him to Nathan's room.

TRIINGS

The elevator door opened, Aleea exited the elevator without taking the slightest look at Vina who was standing in front of the elevator.

Vina who saw Aleea coming, immediately took her steps following Aleea and held Aleea's hand.

"What are you doing here?" vina asked while holding Aleea's hand.

"Do I have to tell you?" reply Aleea while pulling her hand from Vina.

"You must want to influence Nathan, right? you must've....."

"It's in Vina's office, please take care of your manners, you know who I am?" aelea interrupted Vina's words and walked away from Vina.

While Vina was still standing in her place in annoyance.

"The longer he's getting cocky, so annoying!" vina said in her heart with a look of annoyed face.

On the other hand, Nathan who was busy with his work deliberately ignored the knock on the door he heard.

But when the door opened, Nathan was so surprised to see Aleea coming into his room.

"Finally you came too!" nathan said with a smile.

"No need to make small talk, give me back my phone!" aelea said firmly.

"Sit down Aleea, watch your emotions, you'll get old faster if you get angry too often!" nathan said as he shifted the chair for Aleea to sit down.

"I don't want to linger here Nathan, so....."

CRYIAL

Aleea stopped her speech as the phone on Nathan's desk rang.

"Just a second!" nathan said to Aleea and then received the call.

"Meeting in 5 minutes, don't be late just because your wife is here!" vina said with a ketus.

"Delaying after lunch, I can't leave my wife here" Nathan replied with a smile on Aleea, while Aleea who saw him instantly took his eyes off Nathan

"But Nathan....."

"It's an order!" nathan interrupted Vina's words and hung up.

"I postponed the meeting just to chat with Aleea, so don't waste the time I've given you!" nathan said to Aleea.

"You're so overrated Nathan, so childish and selfish!" reply Aleea.

"Whatever you say about me, now tell me what your decision is!" said Nathan.

Aleea let out a long sigh then brought her gaze to look into Nathan's eyes.

"Do you really want to help with Sunday's bazaar?" ask Aleea to make sure.

"Of course, do you doubt me?" nathan's reply was full of confidence.

"I don't even trust you Nathan" Aleea said.

"Bazar's gonna be very important to my friend Nathan, he's trying so hard to build his little business, so I beg of you, don't play him!" aelea.

"I have absolutely no intention of playing around with anyone Aleea, I just want to help!" reply Nathan.

"Can you tell me why? there must be a reason why you're helping, right?" ask Aelea.

Nathan was silent for a while. The question Aleea asked made her ask herself.

"Reason? what reason? I also don't understand why I want to get involved with his business!" nathan in the heart.

"My idea hasn't come back yet, but the longer I understand you, Nathan, you can't help out all of a sudden for no good reason, right!"

Nathan was still silent, for a while he felt himself to be very stupid back then. He tried hard to give a reasonable excuse to Aleea.

"You're right, I do have a reason why I want to get involved in such an unimportant matter!" said Nathan.

"I'm guessing, so what's your excuse?" aelea asked before she decided to really let Nathan get involved.

Aleea does not want Nathan to be involved in giving a bad influence to his business with Tika because Nathan always has a reason for what he does.

"I don't think I told you yet if you saw me yesterday" Nathan said.

"Is mom angry because we're home early?" ask Aelea.

"Of course, mama even suspects us, mama thinks that if we really want to go home fast because our relationship is not okay and you know not who you will suspect if mama knows our relationship is not okay!"

"Evan?" terka Aleea who was only answered with a nod of the head by Nathan.

"What else did you know if Vina was also in Paris at the time, I couldn't have told you if you had made Vina come to me and I'm sure you're guessing that Evan told Vina" Nathan said.

"Then what did you say to Mom?" aelea asked curiously, worried about a misunderstanding between mama Nathan and Evan.

"I tried to convince my mom that our relationship was okay and Evan had nothing to do with Vina in Paris" Nathan replied.

"So, I deliberately wanted to get involved with your activities so that my mom would believe that our relationship was okay" Nathan continued.

"Aaahhh... So that's your excuse?"

"I couldn't have done anything in vain Aleea, so yaaa.

"Well then, you can help, as long as you give me back my phone!" aelea.

"Happy, "Nathan replied, taking Aleea's phone in her desk drawer and giving it to Aleea.

"I'm begging you, Nathan, don't create a problem that will affect my friend's business, even if it's not important to you, but it's a very important thing to my friend!" aelea.

"I wish I could trust you, just this time!" Aelea.

Nathan just nodded his head slowly without saying anything.

"You must trust me Aleea and I will make you trust me completely!" nathan said in his heart.

"Well, now I have to go!" aelea said, moving away from her seat, but Nathan immediately grabbed onto Aleea's shoulders, causing Aleea to sit back in place.

"What else?" aelea asked with her head up looking at Nathan who was still holding both shoulders.

On the other hand, Evan who was about to meet Nathan was instantly silent when he saw Nathan and Aleea from the front of Nathan's room which was only blocked by a glass wall.

Despite not hearing and knowing what was going on inside, but seeing Nathan and Aleea at such a close distance annoyed him.

Evanpun immediately took his steps away, entering his room by throwing a map on his desk.

"What is Aleea doing here?" Evan asked himself.

Evan let out a long sigh, trying to calm himself down who was being upset for no reason.

Elsewhere, Nathan deliberately kept Aleea in his room.

"I have to go Nathan!" Aleea said annoyedly.

"I'll drive you, "Nathan replied.

"No need, I'm used to going anywhere alone!" Aleea said as she pushed Nathan away from her.

"Then I'll book a taxi for you" Nathan said, taking his phone to book a taxi.

"No need Nathan, I'm not Vina, I can book a taxi myself!" Aleea said as she moved from her seat and walked out of Nathan's room.

Nathanpun immediately ran after Aleea and grabbed Aleea's hand and grabbed her.

"Is this necessary?" Aleea asked in a whisper.

"Of course" Nathan replied with a smile.

Aleea simply sighed and let Nathan clasp his hand.

"What's wrong with this cold guy?" Inner Aleea asked inwardly.

Nathan grasped Aleea until they passed through the lobby, not caring for the few pairs of eyes staring at them.

"You sure you don't want me to drop off?" Nathan asked Aleea.

"Yes, just get on with your work, I can go home by myself" Aleea replied.

"Well then, be careful on the road!" Nathan said as he carried Aleea into his arms.

Aleea who was surprised tried to struggle a little, but Nathan hugged her even tighter.

"Don't make anyone suspicious of Aleea!" Nathan whispered very slowly.

Alee was silent, waiting for Nathan to release himself from Nathan's embrace.

"Good wife" Nathan said softly as he patted Aleea on the head after she removed Aleea from his embrace.

Aleea only smiled faintly and then walked away. Just passing through the main door, suddenly someone deliberately bumped into Aleea, making Aleea take a few steps back until she almost fell down.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it" Vina said with a smile and walked away.

Aleea sighed in annoyance then continued her footsteps leaving Nathan's office.

On the other hand, Nathan had already taken his steps away, returning to his room, making him not see what Vina had done to Aleea.

Shortly after Nathan sat in his study chair, Evan walked into his room.

"Why was the meeting suddenly postponed?" ask Nathan.

"There are more important things that I have to finish" Nathan replied.

"More important than work?" ask Evan.

"Yes, you know I can't do something for nothing!" replied Nathan.

"Since when has Aleea been important to you?" ask Evan.

"Aahh you know it apparently, I'm working on my plan Evan and as you know, Aleea is part of my grand plan!" said Nathan.

"What exactly are you planning, Nathan? why didn't you tell me at all?" ask Evan.

"Because I know you've already involved your feelings in this," Nathan replied inwardly without saying anything to Evan.
