The Love Story of James and Angelica
Episode 44

"Alvaro, it turns out that our family business is the same. My parents are also hotel owners in Canada" Brandon said.

"Well, what a coincidence. What's the name of your hotel there?" asked Alvaro.

"CLS Hotel" replied Brandon.

"What stands for CLS?" asked Alvaro, frowning.

"Castello Louise Salvataro" Brandon replied.

"Is that your parents' name?" said Alvaro.

"Not , that's my grandfather's name. The hotel is a family business. Papa I and his two brothers run the hotel now" Brandon replied.

"Are you going to continue your parents' efforts later on?" asked Alvaro.

"I still don't know. I just want to make a house that suits my wishes" Brandon replied.

"Didn't your parents forbid you from doing the things you love?" asked Alvaro, who grew curious.

"From my parents, I never forced my children to do anything. We are always given the freedom to do what we like" Brandon replied.

"I'm so jealous of you" Alvaro said.

"Why are you jealous? Are you being asked to run your papa business?" asked Brandon while eating the food on the table.

"Yes, you're right" Alvaro replied as he picked up his sushi with chopsticks.

"Don't you go to this major, your parents chose it" said Brandon, who guessed.

"Yes, you are right" Alvaro replied, nodding his head.

Brandon immediately choked, because he did not think his guess was right.

"You drink first" said Alvaro, who saw his friend choke.

Brandon took a glass of water and drank it.

"I didn't expect to guess right" Brandon said as he placed the glass on the table.

"What you said is true. At first I really wanted to be a scientist, but not allowed by my papa. Papa asked me to be able to run his hotel later after I graduated from college. Though my twin brother already wanted to run his business, but I was still forced to run his business as well" said Alvaro.

"You have a twin brother? Girl or boy?" asked Brandon.

"Girl" replied Alvaro.

"Your twin brother must be very beautiful. Recognize me dong" said Brandon with a thin smile.

Alvaro immediately smiled at the words of his new friend.

"Why are you smiling?" asked Brandon.

"Yes, the problem is that I can't introduce my twin brother to you" Alvaro replied as he chewed on his sushi.

"Why can't you? I'm not so ugly" said Brandon.

"Yes, you are not ugly" Alvaro replied.

"Keep?" said Brandon.

"The problem is, my brother is married" Alvaro said with a smile.

"Is it not wrong? Now is not the time of young married people" said Brandon with a question mark.

"Yes right, brother I'm married" Alvaro replied to reassure his new friend.

"Is your brother pregnant first?" asked Brandon, who was curious.

"Not , not that problem. The problem is that they already love each other. Her husband is also 5 years older than her" Alvaro replied.

"But still very young" said Brandon who still did not believe it.

"Yes, he is very young. But it was already their decision. Our families already know each other" Alvaro said.

"Your brother's message is getting married quickly, because both families already know each other" said Brandon.

Alvaro nodded his head.

Alvaro and Brandon continued to chat until they did not feel the food they ordered had been eaten.

Arriving when paying for it, Alvaro and Brandon choose to pay for each of the food they eat.

"See you tomorrow at college" said Brandon.

"Yes, see you tomorrow" replied Alvaro.

Alvaro returns on foot to his apartment and Brandon walks to the MRT to return home to his aunt.

Alvaro Apartment has a very close distance from there, so it does not take long, Alvaro has arrived at his apartment.

Alvaro placed his bag on the sofa chair and immediately pulled his phone out of his pocket.

Alvaro touched the name of his mother on his phone screen.

Sandra who was working in an electronics store, immediately smiled as soon as she saw the name of her favorite child on the screen of her cellphone.

"Hello dear" answered Sandra.

"Hello mama, today I am very happy" said Alvaro.

"What makes your child happy like this?" asked Sandra who was starting to be curious.

"Today I made a new friend. The guy is really cool" said Alvaro.

"Good then, son. So you're not alone there anymore" Sandra replied with a smile.

"Yes ma" replied Alvaro.

"Have you eaten son?" asked Sandra.

"I went to eat with Brandon" replied Alvaro.

"So your friend's name is Brandon?" said Sandra.

"Yes ma" replied Alvaro.

"Is he Indonesian too?" asked Sandra.

"Not ma, he's Canadian. His parents also run a hotel business there ma" said Alvaro.

"Good dong nak, later who knows you can work with him" said Sandra.

"Not necessarily ma" replied Alvaro.

"Why is that?" asked Sandra.

"Because he doesn't want to run his parents' business" Alvaro replied.

"Oh so" said Sandra.

"Yes ma" replied Alvaro.

"Yes already, you're fine right there. Mama wants to work first" said Sandra.

"Yes ma, I love mama" said Alvaro.

"Yes, my mom loves you too" Sandra said, cutting her phone.

"Alvaro, son?" asked Surya, who was listening to Sandra on the phone.

"Yes pa , he is very happy because he has made friends" said Sandra while putting her phone on the desk.

"Good, the boy was spoiled, but actually he was very smart to carry himself" said papa Surya.

"Yes pa , I can also relax now leaving him alone in Singapore" Sandra said with a smile.

"Yes son, he is really like you" said Surya with a smile.

"Yes, too" Sandra replied, chuckling.

After that, Sandra began to continue her work again. Until it does not feel like the day is getting late. Sandra and Papa Surya start getting ready to go home.

"I went home first" Sandra said when she was outside the store.

"Yes son" replied Surya.

Sandra walked to the parking lot to her car which was carried by Mr. Maman and papa Surya walked to his car, they went home to each other.

"Sir, we go to the bakery store first yes" said Sandra.

"Well young lady" replied Maman while running the car.
