A few days later, Dante searches for Angel at Madam Sienna House. After pondering what he wanted, finally the man who owned some company in the Big City decided to look for Angel.
When he arrived at Madam Sienna's house, the man met Madam Sienna who always welcomed guests who came to his house.
"Madam, I want to meet Angel" Dante said without further ado.
Madam Sienna slammed her eyes together and looked at Dante with a cynical look. "Would you like to come here?"
"I know you're mad at me, madam. I'm here to explain what happened to Angel. Where is he? Let me meet him," replied Dante half-begging.
The woman, who was wearing a safari suit with her buttons open to her chest, let out a long sigh. "He's gone,"
Dante's eyebrows intertwined when Madam Sienna gave a statement that the girl he was looking for had left the house. "Go? Where to?"
"I don't know. If I knew, I wouldn't have told you. You're making my favorite kid act like crazy! How cruel you are!" madam Sienna replied again while chirping.
Dante tapped his finger on the reception desk. "Hmmm, do you know Carmen Brooke?"
"Carmen? Where did you hear that name? Did Angel ever tell you about Carmen?" ask Madam Sienna.
Dante told me where he knew Carmen Brooke's name from. Not only that, he also told me about what really happened on the eve of the tea banquet some time ago. "I want to apologize to him, madam. I don't know what I was thinking then, I don't know either. I was too afraid of what my friends thought of me. That's all I'm afraid of,"
What Dante said was true, because he only realized that he wanted Angel to be his life partner, not Evelyn or anyone else. Dante also deeply regretted his decision that night, unceasingly condemning the foolishness he had committed.
Especially when he imagined Frank and Angel spending time alone, it was very painful. He was jealous, he knew it!
Madam Sienna learned that Dante was sincerely sorry and wanted to apologize from the man's voice. However, the rice had already become porridge. Angel has stopped working at his place and at this time, Madam Sienna does not know where Angel is. "I know you're telling the truth, sir. But you're late, Angel's gone and I don't know where she is right now,"
"About Carmen. Did you know that Angel was a pseudonym?" ask Madam Sienna.
Dante shook his head and Madam Sienna continued her story. "Carmen Brooke is Angel's real name. Once upon a time, Carmen wasn't the Angel she is today. She cried a lot, she locked herself in her room, regretted her fate, considered herself bad, very different from Angel, anyway,"
"I gave Angel's name to him in the hope that he could rise and be more positive. I asked her to take me as her mother and she agreed. Until one day, there was a guest who was interested in him and he did not refuse. From then on, Carmen changed completely to Angel. She always said Carmen was dead and she buried her" Madam Sienna said.
Dante speechless. He could feel the sadness that Angel was experiencing back then. Dante's one hand clenched. "I've been so bad to her, madam,"
After his farewell, Dante returns to the city and returns home. Along the way, she thinks about where Angel is going and what she's doing with her new job. "Where are you, Angel? I miss you" said Dante.
Days, weeks, up to a month passed, Dante could not forget Angel. But he has returned to his usual activities while continuing to hope that he can meet the girl that he misses so much.
Her divorce status with Evelyn is still on hold. I don't know why, Dante doesn't know. Relationship with Frank? Because they are friendly, they quickly become familiar again. Sometimes the two men just talk about Angel.
"I fell in love with him" Frank said one day at a small restaurant that was new to the city. "What happens if it's real?"
Dante snorted as he sipped his black coffee. "Of course, you'll have to step over my corpse first, and then I'll let you fall in love with her,"
"Damn, you! I have a meeting, I'll see you later tonight" said Dante, and he immediately got out of his chair and walked away from the store.
Frank stays there until his coffee runs out. Lucky for the man, because at that time something did not happen.
After Dante's departure, a girl came to clean the table and where they were sitting. With her sweet smile, the girl asked permission kindly. "Good day, sir. Can I clean it?"
Frank, who was playing with his cell phone, knew a voice that sounded familiar to his sense of hearing. He also raised his face. The corner of his lips was drawn upwards carving out a smile. "Good day, beautiful. Please,"
"Oh!" knock the girl. "Mr Stanley!"
"It's good you still remember me, Angel," Frank said. He stood up to greet and hug the girl he had spent the night with.
Angel grinned widely. "Of course I remember you, sir. I'm sorry, because I didn't say goodbye to you when I left,"
"No problem. You work here now?" ask Frank.
Angel nodded. It felt like he was sitting in front of Frank and asked how Dante was doing, but someone's voice called out to him.
"Angel, table number 10!" the man's orders.
"I have to get back to work, sir. See you," said Angel as she waved her hand and ran over to the voice that called out to her.
Frank smiles at Angel's departure. "Finally, I found you, Angel,"
The news of his meeting with Angel did not tell Dante. The man had already decided to become his best friend's love rival in order to get Angel. After all, Dante has not officially divorced from Evelyn. The sign, his two friends still have the possibility to refer back.
After their meeting, Frank often visited Angel in the coffee shop. Sometimes he waits for Angel until the girl's working hours are over.
Usually, Frank would buy Angel coffee as well as a few pieces of cake. At that time, Frank only found out that Angel was very happy with cinnamon donuts, tiramisu, and black forest. The two of them also often spend time together until night and in the end, the store employees make Frank as their regular visitor.
One day, Angel was waiting for Frank's arrival because usually every afternoon, he would come and wait for him to finish.
"What is your lover's job?" ask one of Angel's friends who worked with him at the same store.
"He's not my girlfriend! If it's not wrong, he's a doctor" replied Angel firmly. It never crossed Angel's mind to make Frank her lover.
"Maybe he's having a sudden patient. Oh, there's a guest coming! Well, he's very handsome and his car is very luxurious" said the employee.
Angel turned. "Let me serve him" said Angel. The girl approached the charming guest and greeted him kindly. "Hello, good afternoon and welcome!"
The man's guest turned to look at Angel and he stood there. "You!"
