In cafe. Evan walked towards Rania who waved at him. With a smile Evan walked over with his gaze on Aleea who looked surprised by his arrival.
A few hours ago Rania did contact her, asking where Aleea was taking cooking classes and inviting Evan to have lunch with Aleea.
Evan then carried himself sitting beside Rania, right in front of Aleea.
"Hi Aleea!" greet Evan who was only met with a smile by Aleea.
"Have you ordered any food?" evan asked with his gaze on Aleea and Rania alternately.
"Already, Rania ordered her sister's favorite food and drinks" replied Rania.
Shortly after their order arrived, they enjoyed their lunch with occasional chats.
But Rania chatted more with Evan and only occasionally Evan chatted with Aleea.
"Rania to the toilet for a second, sister!" rania said, then got up from her seat and walked to the toilet.
"I thought you would reject Rania's invitation, Aleea!" evan told Rania.
"I did think about rejecting it, but I changed my mind," Aleea replied.
"Why? did he force you?" asked Evan who had only been slapped with a head by Aleea.
"I know her very well Aleea, she is not much different from Nathan who wants everything to go according to what he wants, only Rania always begs spoiled or even forced her wish to be fulfilled," said Evan.
"You know her very well apparently," Aleea replied with a smile as if confirming what Evan had said about Rania forcing her.
"There is no need to be burdened by all Aleea's words, you can reject it if you don't want it" said Evan.
"I've confirmed Evan, I can't possibly change my mind all of a sudden" Aleea replied.
"What about your activities at the shop? shouldn't you be in the shophouse right now?" ask Evan.
"That's the problem, I feel guilty for letting Tika be busy in the shophouse since morning" Aleea replied with a sigh.
"I'll take Rania home after this, so you can go to the shop immediately" Evan said.
"Thank you, Evan" said Aleea, who was only given a nod of his head by Evan.
"Well, what about Nathan? did he scold you for agreeing to Rania's invitation?" ask Evan.
"It looks like he's very upset, but I don't care" Aleea replied.
"But he didn't hurt you, did he?" ask Evan to worry.
"No, he's a little changed now, it looks like he's trying to control his emotions" Aleea said.
"Good then" said Evan, nodding his head.
Shortly afterwards Rania came and returned to her seat.
"We're leaving now Rania, I have to go back to the office because there's a little problem!" evan told Rania.
"But we just finished eating" protested Rania.
"I'll take you home if you want to go home now or I'll go first if you stay here!" said Evan.
"All right, we're going home now!" reply Rania without hesitation.
"Rania will ask Rania's driver to drive Aleea home" Rania told Aleea.
"No need for Rania, I've booked a taxi to go home" Aleea replied.
"Aaahh so, well," said Rania.
"I go first Aleea, take care of yourself!" said Evan who was only answered with a nod of the head and a smile by Aleea.
Evan then drives his car away from the cafe with Rania and Rania's driver follows behind Evan's car.
Aleea immediately ordered a taxi that would take her to the shophouse. Aleea deliberately lied to Rania so that Rania would not ask her driver to drive Aleea home.
After a long wait, the taxi Aleea was waiting for came. After some time on the way, Aleea arrived at the shophouse and immediately helped Tika to do their work.
"What about Aleea? has there been any progress?" ask Tika to Aleea.
"Already, after I posted our menus and some promotions, there were already over 300 followers" Aleea replied.
"Aleea's good start, after this will definitely be more new followers because just by following social media accounts and spreading them, they will get special prices" said Tika.
"You're right, Evan also helped promote it to his friends" Aleea replied.
"Waaah.... Evan has helped us a lot Aleea" said Tika.
"Yes, I owe him a lot, somehow I repay all his kindness to me" Aleea said.
After their new menu is finished, they start trying it out and then set up another property to take pictures that fit their cake shop's social media style.
"I've taken some pictures, after I edit them, I'll send them to you and you can upload them on social media" Tika said.
Aleea nodded her head excitedly. In addition to making their own cakes and breads, Aleea also acts as a social media admin of their cake shop, while Tika focuses on photos and editing to make their cake shop social media more interesting.
Although new to the new world, but Aleea and Tika can divide the task well. They support each other and learn from each other. No one of them felt envious or jealous, they actually did all their work well and vigorously.
"Well, who picked you up Aelea, your brother?" tika asked Aleea while they were resting.
"His name is Rania, she's a sister....."
Aleea paused, hesitating to say Nathan's name in front of Tika because from the time they were friends until it was as close as then, Aleea had never talked about Nathan to Tika at all.
"Nathan's sister" Aleea continued.
"Aaahhh sister-in-law apparently," Tika said with a nod of her head.
Aleea simply nodded her head softly without saying anything. During this time he felt comfortable being friends with Tika because Tika never touched on his personal problems at all, including about his marriage.
So, Aleea would feel very awkward if Tika suddenly talked about it and of course it would make Aleea uncomfortable.
"Tell me about your childhood, Aleea, I want to hear it!" tika said that made Aleea quite surprised.
How not, the memory-lost Aleea remembers absolutely nothing about her childhood, not even a single one she remembers before she regained consciousness in the hospital with Nathan accompanying her.
"There's nothing interesting about my childhood, Tika, how about you?" reply Aleea asked.
"My childhood was a lot of fun for Aleea, I had one good friend that I will never forget until now, I used to call her Tata" Tika replied.
"You must be very close" Aleea said.
"You're right, we're like brothers because we're so close, even though a lot of people call him by different names, but I always call her by the name of Tata and she always smiles happily when she hears that name" Tika said.
Unknowingly both of Tika's eyes glazed over as she recalled about her being together with her childhood friend.
Tika then moved away from her seat, dodging Aleea so that Aleea would not see her grieving at that moment.
"Aaahh yes, the weekend seems like I can not come to the shophouse, Rania invites me on vacation during the weekend later," Aleea told Tika.
"You really should take your time to vacation Aleea, too much work can stress you out" Tika replied.
Aleea simply nodded her head without saying anything. He does want to go on vacation, but not with Nathan and vacationing with Nathan will certainly make him more stressed because he has to play in front of Rania.
Time passed, the clock had already shown at 6pm as Aleea and Tika were getting ready to go home.
Aleea's phone rang, a call came in from Evan.
"Hello Aleea, are you still in the shop?" evan asked after Aleea received her call.
"Yes I'm in the shophouse but I'll be home soon" Aleea replied.
"Can you wait for me for a minute? I'll be there soon!"
"Alright," replied Aleea.
"Is Evan coming?" tika asked who was replied with a nod of the head by Aleea.
Sure enough, before long Evan's car appeared to be approaching the courtyard of the shophouse. Evan then gets out of his car, approaching Aleea and Tika.
"Because Evan's here, I'm home!" tika said to Aleea.
"Be careful on Tika street," said Aleea who was met with a nod of the head and a smile by Tika.
"Come, I'll take you!" evan said as he opened the car door.
Aleea then entered and Evanpun immediately drove his car away from the shophouse.
"I'm very grateful that you picked me up Evan, but there's no need to do it too often because I can go home in a taxi" Aleea told Evan.
"I picked you up on purpose because I also wanted to meet Nathan, Aleea," Evan said.
"Aaahhh so, alright," Aleea said with a nod of her head.
"But if you're having trouble getting a cab, you can call me Aleea, danger if you're too long alone in front of the shophouse at night, when the other shophouse next to you is closed, anyway," said Evan.
"Yes, I understand," Aleea replied.
After some time on the way, they reached Nathan's house. Aleea and Evan got out of the car at the same time.
"Can I come in to see Nathan?" ask Evan to Aleea.
"Of course" Aleea replied.
They took their steps into the house, climbing the stairs together until Aleea stopped her steps in front of her room.
Suddenly, Nathan had just come out of his room and saw Evan with Aleea in front of Aleea's room.
"Thank you for driving me to Evan" said Aleea, who was met with a nod of his head and a smile by Evan.
Aleea then walked into his room as if unaware of Nathan's whereabouts, while Nathan immediately took his steps towards his study followed by Evan walking behind him.
"Lately you've been with him!" nathan said as he opened one of the maps on his desk.
"Yes, do you mind?" reply Evan.
"No, I don't care" Nathan replied.
"really?" evan asks who deliberately teased Nathan.
"He always leaves the house early in the morning and comes home very late, I don't care about it as long as he doesn't do anything to my detriment" Nathan replied.
**
The days have changed. It was time for Aleea, Nathan, Evan and Rania to go on vacation.
They've agreed to leave in Nathan's car. After picking up Rania, Nathan then drives his car to pick up Evan with Aleea sitting next to him.
After picking up Evan, Nathan drives his car out of town. During the trip, they chatted a lot, especially Evan and Rania.
Before arriving at the destination, they buy snacks and drinks that are quite a lot because the villa they will occupy later is quite far from the minimarket.
After buying everything they wanted, they went back on their way.
Arriving at the villa, they were greeted by an aunt who was in charge of guarding the villa with her husband. So, as long as they're there, it's aunt who's going to get all their needs ready.
"Welcome Mr. Nathan, aunt has prepared food at the dinner table, please come in" the aunt told Nathan.
"Thank you Bi," Nathan replied and grabbed Aleea's hand, holding her inside the villa.
The awkward Aleea could only accept what Nathan had done to her so as not to make Rania suspicious of their relationship.
"Waaahhh there's plenty of food and fruits!" rania was happy.
Rania then took a piece of melon and fed it to Evan.
"How sis? sweetie?" ask Rania.
"Sweet," Evan replied with a nod of his head.
"Aaahhh huh, has Brother Aleea been here before?" ask Rania to Aleea.
Aleea immediately brought his gaze to Nathan as he definitely did not remember it.
"No, Aleea has never been here" Nathan said.
"Why? what's....."
"Have Rania, don't ask too many questions, we better eat before the food is cold" said Evan cut Rania speech.
"Alright," replied Rania.
They enjoyed their lunch there. Several times Aleea noticed, Rania looked extremely spoiled at Evan. Rania even several times feed Evan fruit or food in front of him.
"Where are we going after this?" ask Nathan.
"What if we go to the back garden?" rania gave advice.
"What's in the back garden?" ask Evan.
"There are strawberries ready to harvest, Rania is impatient to eat strawberries directly from the garden," explained Rania.
"You have to wash it before you eat Rania" Evan said.
"But if you only eat one or two fruits directly from the garden will not make Rania intoxicated right?"
"All right, it's up to you" replied Evan who made Rania chuckle.
After finishing their meal, they then exited the villa to walk towards the garden that was behind the villa.
Rania walked in front with Evan, while Aleea was behind with Nathan.
While walking on a rocky road, Aleea suddenly shouted because she slipped to make him fall down.
Evan who was in front of Aleea instantly stopped his steps and immediately approached Aleea.
"Are you hurt, Aleea?" ask Evan to worry.
"My leg hurts so much Evan, it looks like I can't move my leg" Aleea said, groaning as she held onto her ankle.
Without a second thought, Evan immediately raised Aleea's body, bringing Aleea back towards the villa.
Nathan and Rania were silent at what had just happened.
