Love Without Memory
Good Friend

Time passed, the clock had already shown at 7pm when Aleea was in her room.

On the other hand, Rania has just arrived at Nathan's house and Nathan's car has just entered the house.

"Rania, what are you doing here? are you looking for Aleea?" nathan asked Rania who was standing waiting for him.

"No, Rania does want to see her sister" replied Rania.

"Come in!" nathan said as he brought his steps in followed by Rania.

"Have you been home since noon?" ask Rania.

"Yes, there are some things you have to do" Nathan replied.

"What about Aleea? looks like brother isn't with Aleea?" ask Rania.

Nathan was silent for a while, there was no way he would have told Rania if he had deliberately asked Aleea to get out of his car before he left.

"Actually Rania is here to make sure of something" said Rania.

"Sure what you mean?" nathan didn't understand.

"Make sure that the relationship between brother and sister Aleea is fine" replied Rania.

"Why are you suddenly thinking about that, everything is fine Rania, you don't have to think about the relationship between sister and Aleea" Nathan said.

"Actually Rania had seen an older sister with a girl in front of the cafe and this afternoon Rania saw Aleea with Evan's sister," said Rania, which made Nathan immediately bring his gaze to Rania.

"It looks like you misunderstood Rania" Nathan said.

"That's why Rania is looking for an older sister because Rania wants to ask for clarity, Rania doesn't want to be so bad!" reply Rania.

"The woman you saw with that sister must be the personal assistant of the sister, she did go out with the sister and about Aleea...."

"But Rania saw it in the cafe in the early morning, sister, there's no way you two go to the cafe that early for work, right?" rania asked, cutting Nathan's words.

Nathan is silent for a while, trying to remember what Rania told him, until his memory finally catches him with Vina in the morning when Vina asks to pick him up.

"Aaaahhh that brother just remembered, sister accidentally met him on the street so sister volunteered to leave together, sister also did not mean to take him to the cafe, the sister also did not mean to take him to the cafe, brother went to the cafe just to buy coffee and bread after that brother immediately went to the office," explained Nathan with a little lie.

"Did Brother Aleea know?" ask Rania.

"Aleea also knew him, because he came at our wedding and about Aleea being with Evan, brother did ask Evan to pick up Aleea because brother had to go in a different direction to the direction of home" explained Nathan.

"But brother....."

"Rania, you shouldn't think too much about your sister's household, you know how you are, right? you always think about everything in detail and make everything go perfectly, so you don't have to worry about it, you make sure everything is going to be okay" Nathan said.

Nathan accidentally cuts off Rania's words because he is tired and does not want to find a reason to answer all of Rania's questions.

"You didn't say this to mom and dad, did you?" nathan asked to make sure.

"No," Rania replied by shaking her head.

"Don't ever say anything to mom and dad about Rania's sister's household, you don't want the little things that happen to cause misunderstandings and become big problems later" Nathan said.

"Rania understood sis," Rania replied with a nod of her head.

"Good sister," Nathan said as he patted Rania on the head, making Rania immediately shift her position away.

"Stop doing that sister and don't consider Rania a child anymore, Evan must have considered Rania a child because of this big sister's attitude!" rania grumbled with her lips.

"Hahaha...What's the problem? you are a little sister!"

"Rania is a grown man!" rania's reply was upset which made Nathan laugh even more.

"Aaahhhh yes, it seems that Brother Aleea is very close to Evan's brother, according to brother how?" rania asked.

"It doesn't matter, Evan is brother's best friend and Aleea is sister's wife, so big brother would be more happy if they were friends too!" reply Nathan.

"Isn't my sister jealous?" ask Rania.

"Hahaha... jealous? why is sister jealous of Rania? sis....."

Nathan stopped talking, almost saying something he couldn't tell anyone.

"Sir Aleea is sister's wife and she is very close to big brother's best friend, it's just weird if you don't feel jealous!" rania.

"Your thinking is one proof that if you were Rania's children, adults like sister Aleea and Evan wouldn't be able to think like that" Nathan said.

"Why?" ask Rania.

"Aleea and Evan are two very big brothers who believe, big brother is sure they will not do the wrong thing behind big brother, as close as they are only limited to friendship, it won't be more than that" Nathan explained.

"Why is my sister so sure?" ask Rania.

"Because Evan was a big sister's best friend for a long time and Aleea was a very big sister" Nathan replied.

"Aren't there supposed to be jealousy if you really love Aleea?" asked Rania did not understand the mindset of her sister.

"It's precisely because you love him so much that you trust him so much, he can't possibly do something that will disappoint you because you believe you love each other" Nathan explained.

Rania only let out a long sigh and rested her head on the back of the sofa.

"Go home, it's night!" said Nathan.

"Actually Rania wants to meet Evan's brother, but Evan refused because he reasoned that it was already night and now the sister also drove Rania away," said Rania with a sigh.

"Why'd you meet Evan nights like this?" ask Nathan.

"Just want to meet, it turns out that after Rania long abroad, Evan's brother remains handsome and even more handsome," replied Rania with a smile.

"From the beginning you always said that, even though everyone said that your brother was more handsome than him," Nathan said.

"They're lying, Evan's older brother is better-looking than his older brother" replied Rania.

"Alright, since you consider brother no more handsome than Evan, now you need to get out of here!" nathan said as he pulled Rania's hand.

"OK okay.... Rania will leave here" said Rania, pulling her hand from Nathan.

"Hurry home or you'll ask your mom to force you home!" nathan threatened.

"This big brother's attitude makes brother lose to Evan's brother!" rania said with a faint smile.

"You......."

"Haha......."

Nathan immediately takes his steps into the room after making sure Rania leaves his house.

For some reason, Nathan stopped his steps as he passed through Aleea's closed room without a sound in it.

"Is he still with Evan?" nathan asked in his heart.

But suddenly Aleea's room door opened, leaving Nathan so shocked and immediately taking his steps away to enter his room.

Meanwhile, Aleea, continued her steps towards the kitchen regardless of Nathan who had stood in front of her room.

Aleea went into the kitchen to pick up fruits and knives and went back into her room without the slightest thought of what Nathan had just done in front of her room.

**

The days have passed and the months have changed. That night Aleea and Tika meet up with Evan at a cafe. They signed a contract that Evan had prepared after Aleea and Tika agreed to accept Evan's help.

"Have you found the right place?" evan asked with his eyes on Aleea and Tika.

"There are already a few places that we survey and the results are two places that we worry about because they are both in line with what we want" Aleea replied.

"You have to consider everything exactly before you decide, not only in terms of location but also the distance of your competitors" Evan said.

"You're right, me and Aleea will really find the best for our efforts" Tika replied.

"But.... based on this contract isn't the profit you get very little, Evan?" tika asked.

"I don't think you're just starting this business and we don't know how it will go, so I think this is the right number" Evan replied.

"Thank you so much for your help Evan, me and Aleea really owe you a lot" Tika said.

"No Tika, this is all I can do to help you guys" Evan replied.

"I'm sorry to go to the toilet for a while" Aleea said as she moved from her seat and went to the toilet.

Tika carried her gaze following Aleea until Aleea was already out of sight.

"There's something I want to ask you about Evan" Tika whispered to Evan.

"What's wrong?"

"Have you known Aleea for a long time?" ask Tika.

"Mmmm....just long enough, why?" reply Evan.

"I know you're a good guy Evan, I don't know how Aleea and her husband are, but it looks like their relationship isn't going well, as his friend, as his, there's not much I can do about Evan, but I expect a lot from you" Tika said.

"What do you mean Tika? his relationship with Nathan is fine, they....."

"Maybe it looks fine, but I'm sure it's not, I can only go through this business for a while with Aleea, because next year I have to go back to my parents' house off the island to continue their business there" Tika said, cutting off Evan's remarks.

"If the business goes well, I'll take back the capital I spent on the business before I left, it would have been my agreement with Aleea if one of us had left the business and let the others manage it on their own a hundred percent" Tika continued.

"What about the papers related to your business? isn't that all in your name? are you going to betray Aleea? or tricked him?" evan asked surprised by all of Tika's words.

"No Evan, please don't misunderstand me, I've discussed it with Aleea, he will still use my name even though he manages the whole thing himself, but I was not involved at all and did not get any benefit if I had left the business" Tika replied.

"I'm telling you this so you can pay more attention to Aleea later, she's smart and can learn quickly, but she needs Evan's friend and you're her best friend," tika continued to explain.

Evan just fell silent, trying to listen carefully to everything Tika told him.

"I don't know how you two are, but all I know is that you're so good to her, Evan, I'm sure you can take better care of her than her husband, that's why I'm telling you this" Tika said.

"Did Aleea know about your departure?" ask Evan.

"No, he doesn't know it yet, we did discuss it on our contract, but I haven't told him if I'm going to leave, I hope you didn't tell him either" Tika replied.

"Why?" ask Evan.

"Aleea needs Evan's friend, a friend who really understands her without having to ask her a lot of questions, so for a while I'll be a friend who's always been around her, if she can really stand on her own, I will tell her about my plan" Tika explained.

Evan was silent again until Aleea returned from the toilet.

"Have you two been quiet since I went to the toilet?" aelea asked with a smile.

"Of course not" Tika replied.

They then talked about a few other things and left the cafe after many things they had talked about.

"I'll drop you off Aleea" Evan told Aleea.

"Thank you, Evan, but I'm going home with Tika" Aleea replied.

"Alright, take good care of Aleea Tika," Evan told Tika.

"Sure," Tika replied by showing her thumb.

Aleea and Tika then entered the same car that immediately left the cafe. While Evan, still in his place standing until Tika's car is not visible from his eyes.

After some time on the way, Alee reached his home. Tika stopped her car in Aleea's yard because there were some files that Aleea had to give Tika.

Aleea then went inside the house and gave her file to Tika. At the same time, Nathan's car just entered the house.

Nathan, who saw someone with Aleea, immediately walked over to Aleea and grabbed Aleea by the shoulder.

"Are we having a guest, baby?" nathan asked Aleea with a smile.

"He's my friend, Tika," Aleea replied with a slight sigh, but Nathan grew stronger and stronger gripping Aleea's shoulder.

"Hi Tika, Nathan," Nathan said, introducing himself as he extended his hand.

"Tika," Tika replied by receiving Nathan's hand.

"I'll go first Aleea, see you in cooking class tomorrow!" tika said as she waved her hand at Aleea and got into her car.

Aleea simply smiled as she returned a wave of Tika's hand, while Nathan still grabbed Aleea's shoulder until Tika drove her car out of Nathan's gate.

Aleea instantly thrashed and immediately walked away after making sure Tika was gone. Nathanpun immediately sprinted a little following Aleea.

"Who is he?" nathan asked Aleea.

"My friend" Aleea replied briefly.

"I don't like you bringing your friend here, because I have to do something sickening like that if you have a friend here!" said Nathan.

"Nobody asked you to do that Nathan!" aelea responded by continuing her footsteps, no matter Nathan who walked behind her.
