Happy reading....
Amanda was ready and Akmal was waiting for her in front. They immediately drove away from the boutique, without realizing if Ethan saw it.
The man deliberately came to Amanda's boutique to deliver lunch, because when he read a message from his future wife made Ethan worried. Amanda was busy and forgot about her health.
"So Amanda said a lot of work, but it turns out she went with Akmal? Why would he lie to me?" muttered Etan in an annoyed tone.
She felt Amanda had lied to her, and was dishonest. Though they're on approach, but Ethan doesn't want to speculate first, he wants to see why Amanda lied to him.
After arriving at the restaurant, Akmal invites Amanda to sit down. After that, they ordered food.
"What is it really you want to talk about? It seems so important?" ask Amanda curiously.
Because he was impatient with what Akmal was going to say.
"Later after eating I'll talk about it with you, we should have lunch first!" bring Akmal.
Amanda could only breathe. He could not resist, and before long the ordered food came, and they began to eat it.
While behind Amanda's body, just smothered by the barrier, there Ethan he was curious about what Akmal would say.
'What does the man want to say until Amanda has to cancel her lunch with me? Or do not.'Etan's mind guessed.
Somehow she felt that Akmal would express his feelings to Amanda. For he is a man, and knows the direction of purpose if he invites a woman to lunch.
After the food ran out, Amanda wiped her mouth with a tissue. Then he stared at Akmal while propping up his chin with one hand.
"So, what do you want to say? What's that important?" ask Amanda to the point.
Akmal could no longer dodge, then he took out a red rose, then gave it to Amanda.
The woman stared in surprise, then she received the flower. "Is this a flower for me?" ask Amanda.
"Who do you think you're for?" akmal's Kekeh.
Then the man ventured into holding Amanda's hand, making the woman's heart immediately race quickly, because somehow Amanda's feelings immediately became unpleasant.
while Ethan clenched his hands on the table, the look in his eyes was so sharp that his jaws hardened, as he saw Akmal holding Amanda's hand. And the feeling is right, it turns out that the man will definitely express his feelings to Amanda.
But Ethan undoes his intention to approach the two of them, because honestly he wants to hear the answer from Amanda. Whether the woman will accept Akmal or not.
"Amanda, I know it's probably very sudden. But honestly, I've been harboring this feeling when we were in college. However, I was the one who could never express it, plus the demands of the job. I could never replace you in my heart with another woman. No matter how hard I try, but no woman can shift your position in my heart-"
"Wait on! What does this mean, brother?" Amanda cut Akmal's speech.
"Amanda Dwi Hardiyanta, I love you so much. Even this feeling grew long before this moment so I wanted to ask, do you want to be my future wife? Yeah, I know you've been betrothed to Ethan, but I don't care. While the yellow stale hasn't curved."
Amanda manga upon hearing Akmal's remarks and confession. Her face looked so shocked, because she did not expect that the man in front of her all this time had a taste for Amanda.
He thought their closeness during college was only limited to sister and brother and best friend, but it turns out Amanda misinterpreted. He is not very sensitive to the feelings of others towards him.
Then Amanda pulled her hand from Akmal's grasp, making the man instantly stare at her heart.
"Sister, I've already considered you as my brother. We've been friends since college. Our closeness all this time, I think only as friends, no more. So I don't have any feelings for you either. I know it might hurt a lot, but .. sorry, I can't. I'm sorry, brother, if I only think of you as a friend and a sister. I don't want to because of this problem, our closeness is tenuous." Amanda feels bad for Akmal
He knew his refusal would definitely make the man's heart break. Amanda had no other choice. She must be firm as a woman, not wanting to play another man's heart.
Hearing this, of course Akmal was disappointed. Her heart broke for the umpteenth time, yet she tried to toughen up in front of Amanda and did not look so very pathetic. Who knows if Akmal wants to cry.
"Sorry Brother! I just don't want to play with other people's feelings. I don't want to give false hope. Brother also knows, if I've been betrothed to Etan, and-"
"And you already have the same feeling? Answer Amanda! If that's true, then I'd be so happy to let you go with her."
Amanda was speechless, but then she nodded her head, "Yes Kak, maybe not yet a feeling of love, just a feeling of liking. Because I'm still gradually loving her."
Akmal closed his eyes, one hand squeezing the pants he was wearing, as if his heart was currently being crushed into pieces. He knew this was a consequence to be accepted when Amanda rejected him.
"It's okay, if you're happy with her then I'll be happy. But at least I'm relieved to have expressed the feelings I've been harboring for years. I'm sorry, if it makes you very surprised by my statement. But I as a man also have to be gentle, right?"
Amanda clasped Akmal's hand. "Thank you, Brother, for your understanding. And Brother is the most gentle person, because he wants to express his feelings to me, when Brother finds out that I have been betrothed to another man. I am sure that God has prepared the best soul mate. And I hope, this doesn't make our relationship tenuous as a friend."
Akmal nodded, he also wished that way. Although he will get sick later to see Ethan together with Amanda, but he must explain everything.
Ethan, who hears that Amanda prefers herself, is happy. A smile continued to be etched wide on her lips, then she walked in a firm step where Amanda and Akmal were currently sitting.
"Echm!" A Deheman made the two instantly turn to the side.
And how surprised Amanda, when she saw that there was Etgan. She did not expect that the man was in the same restaurant.
"Ethan! Why are you here?" Shocked Amanda, because she was afraid that the man would be angry with her, because Amanda was lying.
Without answering, Ethan walked towards Akmal who was standing looking at him as well. And it made Amanda's heart beat fast, because she was afraid that the two would fight each other and make a scene in the restaurant.
'God! Is Ethan going to beat up Akmal? Nah! I have to get in the way. I don't want them to make a fuss here!' amanda was panicking.
SERIATE......
