They talked about various things, from Amanda's career, Lara's boutique to the company branch in Turkey which was held by Bram, joked with joyful laughter, like a harmonious family. Before long, a luxury car entered the mansion's yard, Rafa with his wife Ajeng, and their son Felix entered the mansion. Instantly the living room turned cold, full of awkwardness.
"Hello, Dad," said Ajeng kindly to Leon and extended his hand in greeting
"Yes Ajeng, please come in," said Leon to Ajeng
"How are you daddy?" asked Ajeng while still hugging Leon
“It's almost 7 years you've never been here, then only now are you asking how I'm doing? Where have you been, Ajeng? " Leon asked Ajeng
"Don't be like that Daddy, I also praying for you," replied Ajeng kindly, while Rafa and Felix were still standing without saying hello.
"Come on in, why are you standing there, sit down Rafa and my grandson Salix," said, Leon
"F-E-L-I-X," said Felix and came in to greet Leon, while Rafa was still standing near the door.
"What? You, right?" said Amanda, shocked to see Felix, but Felix only saw him ignorant and sat across from Amanda
"So you already know each other? The last time you met was when you were 4 years old, ”said Ajeng to the two of them, but they both just kept quiet
"Why are you still silent? Amanda, let's greet Felix, he is your older cousin, ”said Laras to his daughter, making Amanda relented and reached out, but was pushed over by Felix.
"What is this? Why are you like that Felix to your younger cousin? Did she do something wrong? Talk to grandfather, "said Leon
"No grandpa," said Felix briefly and grabbed Amanda's hand, forcing a handshake
“Rafa! Come on in, ”said Leon to Rafa
"Do I deserve to enter the house, where I am considered a murderer?" asked Rafa sarcastically
"Who said you were a murderer? Come in quickly!” Leon ordered
"Yes Pa," replied Rafa and he entered the living room to sit beside Felix
“Sis, can't you afford a watch? What time is it, it took you a long time to come, I'm already starving, ” said Bram, breaking the ice
"You don't know what traffic jams are like in Jakarta, huh?" Rafa asked Bram
"There are many reasons for you, I'm hungry, let's eat immediately," said Bramastya
"Yes, let's start dinner, Amanda please help Inaya in the kitchen to prepare dinner dishes, don't forget to serve the dishes you brought," Leon ordered to Amanda.
"Yes, Grandpa."
"And you're Felix, help Amanda," said Grandpa
"I'm a man grandpa, how come you help in the kitchen?" denied Felix, causing Rafa to step on his son's feet and Felix only grimaced
"I ... yes pa, yes Grandpa," said Felix standing up and then following Amanda
"I don't know if you are my cousin," said Amanda to Felix in the kitchen, but Felix was silent and did not answer Amanda.
"I apologize for my impoliteness this afternoon," said Amanda again, but Rafa looked away
“What's my fault for making you so ignorant? We are siblings, it's good that we have a good relationship, ”said Amanda, but Felix took a step forward to challenge Amanda
"First, you are noisy. Second, we are not blood cousins, my father is a stepchild, so you and I do not have any kind of sibling relationship. Third, I hate talking to strangers like you," Felix explained to Amanda, while Amanda was surprised at Felix's words, a second later Amanda ignored Felix and focused on preparing the food, while Felix sat quietly at the dining table.
"Man, try to eat my cake, it's really delicious" said Amanda kindly to Felix and gave him a piece of sponge cake.
"Unclean," Felix said harshly to Amanda
“This makes it hard for him to know, okay, if you don't want to, I'll just give Inayah, I can appreciate people's hard work more! " said Amanda, then gave a piece of sponge cake to Inayah, Inayah just smiled thanks and ate the cake.
"Whew is really good, it tastes really delicious, the sweetness is just right, the walnuts are really delicious, aunt likes non, tomorrow if you come here, make it again, okay," said Inayah
"Okay!" said Amanda to aunt full of enthusiasm
Felix looks at Amanda hatefully, for some reason but he hates her, the woman who seeks her grandfather's attention only for inheritance. Amanda is also not on the same level as her education, Amanda only has an undergraduate degree, while Felix has a postgraduate degree. Felix looked down on Amanda and glared at the girl.
"Felix, let's eat," Amanda asked. Amanda watched Felix's face asleep on the swing, indeed his face was handsome, his nose was sharp, his skin was white, his eyebrows were thick and his chin formed a cleft line.
However, unlike his cold and cool nature, even Amanda did not understand what was wrong with him so that Felix did not want to befriend or talk to her.
"Felix .. let's eat .." Amanda called again, but Felix still closed his eyes
"Felix, let's eat," said Amanda while shaking Felix's hand slowly, making Felix wake up from his sleep, and surprised to see Amanda in front of him.
"It's not easy to get close," said Felix, encouraging Amanda to be annoyed
"What am I wrong? Until you are so rich with me? "Asked Amanda
"I am disgusted," Felix replied ignorantly leaving Amanda, Amanda did not have time to confront Felix's words and was annoyed to stomp his feet
The atmosphere of the dinner was so solemn, especially Laras and Ajeng who were very close to cover up the dispute between Bram and Rafa, but Amanda still looked at Felix's annoyance, he couldn't stop thinking about Felix who was rude with him. Amanda looks at Felix who is busy with his food, Felix is enjoying his food slowly, he actually knows that Amanda has been paying attention to him, but Felix really understands Amanda, a woman who is familiar with Leon's grandfather, smart to win over his grandfather with his cooking, only for his grandfather's property. a material woman, cunning, like a snake thought Felix. Even Felix also knows Amanda's physical appearance which looks hypocritical to Felix. Everything that is in Amanda for Felix is nothing but fake to win grandfather's heart.
"So, Felix has passed his postgraduate?" asked Leon's grandfather to Felix
"Yes, Grandpa," answered Felix casually
"Then what are your plans next?"
Building a securities business, Grandpa, ”said Felix
"Good, you are handsome, smart, why not think about getting married?" asked the grandfather
"Isn't it that when it is established, women will come naturally Grandpa?" Felix asked in an arrogant tone and glanced at Amanda in front of him
"Hahahahah, you are indeed a man who is ambitious," said León's grandfather bolted Felix
"Then you Amanda? What is your plan? Will you continue to be a social volunteer?" asked the grandfather to Amanda
"Yes Grandpa, at least until the illiteracy rate in Jakarta has decreased," said Amanda
"You don't agree to business?" asked Mr. Leon
"Maybe I'll build a restaurant business, Amanda wants to make a restaurant and cafe," said Amanda
"Ah, that's good, hurry up and make your business plan, so Grandpa can prepare funds for the construction of the restaurant," said Grandpa Leon.
"Ah, you don't need to be grandpa, Amanda you can find your own capital, Amanda will be more satisfied if all of Amanda's hard work is the result of her hard work," Amanda replied.
“I see, you are indeed an independent, beautiful, strong girl, how about marriage? Do you have a boyfriend? Or do you want to introduce your grandchildren to your grandfather's relatives?" asked Leon's grandfather who made Amanda choke and took a drink
"Not yet, let Amanda start a career first," said Amanda
"Wow, these two grandchildren are all smart and clever, I am very proud of you, I hope you will become the next successful generation," said Grandpa Leon.
"Thank you," said Amanda
"Later when you are married, I hope you two will get closer and closer," said Grandpa Leon
“Why Grandpa?” asked Felix
"Because you will not know what will happen in the future," said Grandfather Leon laughing enigmatically
Amanda is still annoyed by Felix's actions against her, it's been 2 days since having dinner together made her wonder who Felix is. To Amanda's surprise, there appeared several articles about Felix"Felix Leonidas started a securities company.""Leonidas group grandson won the gold medal.""Felix Leonidas graduated from the Master of Business Management at the University of Paris Pantheon-Sorbonne with the title Summa Cumlaude.""Felix Leonidas d
"Amanda .. dear?" called Bram knocking on Amanda's door"Yes Dad?" replied Amanda hoarsely"Open the door, daddy wants to come in," said Bram to Amanda"Later daddy, Amanda's face is still ugly," replied Amanda still embarrassed with her swollen eyes"Daddy's child is beautiful, there is no way to look ugly," said Bram"Dad, Amanda just wanted to be alone first," replied Amanda"But why are you dear who mad
"Mom, do you see my power bank?" asked Felix to Ajeng, his mother"This? Is yours?" said Ajeng, lifting Felix's black power bank"Well yes, then Felix will go to the office first," said Felix"Honey, can't you just postpone, you have Amanda here," said Ajeng, Felix immediately sat down and stared at his mother."What? Amanda ??! What's she doing here? " said Felix in an angry tone"Why are you so angry? You don't remember? You used to like you to play with her when you were in grade 1 elementary school, he was still in kindergarten, ”said Ajeng"Felix w
"Good morning, children .." Amar said to the caregivers who were playing"Morning," answered some of the orphanage children"Do you know Ms. Amanda?" asked Amar"Ohh, Amanda?" pointed out a boy at the black car that had just entered the orphanage's parking lot, a group of children ran towards the car and led Amanda to enter the reading room, while Amar only watched Amanda with a sweet smile sharing stories and storytelling children. -the orphanage, her heart was beating wildly at Amanda's beauty and kindness"What are you doing here, come on in," said a girl and pulled Amar in, and immediately the children's attention turned to the handsome, tall, and charming Amar."Dadd
"Well, I won't take long, listen carefully, this will was written by Mr. Leonidas, and it was agreed to be read after he died. This letter reads' All my inheritance will I will testify to my son's great-grandson," said Dahlia reading the letter. that loudly, making Rafa and Bram frown in confusion"Wait, great-grandson? Does it mean? Son of Felix or Amanda? " said Rafa confused"Yes, that's right," said Dahlia, while Amanda and Felix stared at each other, they didn't understand the meaning of the will."But, neither Amanda nor Felix is married," said Bram"Then, let's just wait until they have children," said Dahlia"CANNOT, THIS IS NOT FAIR, HOW CAN THERE BE A TREAT LIKE
Amanda looked at the screen of her cellphone, a notification from Amar, she opened the message quickly, “Ms. Amanda, I want to talk about the introduction of our family, what about ya? When can I visit Ms. Amanda's house, and give me your address? ”Amanda could not hold back her tears reading a message from Amar, she recently fell in love with this young man, but her marriage was arranged, not with Amar or any other man, but with Felix. Now she can no longer prioritize her love, she has already agreed in front of a large family, like being cut by a dagger, her wounded heart will heal over time, Amanda always resigns and believes God's plan will be better than anything.
Amanda enters Felix's big office, magnificent and luxurious, this is the second time he has come here, this time as an employee he doesn't know what his position will be, he walks up the stairs, he doesn't know what floor he should go to, he takes his cellphone and intends to call Felix , but a receptionist clerk approached him"Sorry, are you Amanda Leonidas Bramastsya Putri?" asked a receptionist to Amanda"Ah yes, I am Amanda," said Amanda
Amanda wore a long red dress, gracefully, the make up on her face made her even more beautiful, soon she would become Felix's legal wife, Amanda looked elegant, as well as Felix who looked handsome in his gray suit, they looked like a good match. But in truth Amanda's heart so hurt, how could she not? Her marriage is only on the day of her family and certain business partners, not a big wedding spread in the media, Felix asked for a marriage without media, he didn't want the public or his employees to know he had Amanda being his wife, the two pairs of eyes that Amanda had been paying attention to, belonged to Amar. Her heart was hurt when she caught Amar's figure there, she loved him. Amanda did not understand why her heart loved Amar even stronger than Felix."How? The bride and groom are ready?""Yeah," said Amanda"Yes sir," said Felix, even though his heart was full of anxiety
