Part 01

A bright morning in the city of Bandung, after all night the city of flowers was showered with rain. You can still hear the sound of frogs shouting to each other, making the house look even more beautiful.

“Axelina, why are you daydreaming in the morning?” asked the mother who sat next to Axelina. Axelina looked at her mother's face, which looked pale. This week her mother should be in control at the hospital. But Axelina still can't bring her mother to the hospital, because she will have payday the day after tomorrow.

“Why did you come out wearing a coat, it's too cold. Mom's condition will get worse. I'm sorry, I can't take Mom to the hospital yet,” said Axelina guiltily. She felt that she failed to be a child because she could not provide the best treatment for her mother. The only family she had, after her father had the heart to leave them for his mistress.

“I'm fine, don't think about me too much. It's time you thought about your own happiness,” said the mother in very soft words.

“My only happiness is that I want Mom to be healthy again,” said Axelina while kissing the hand of the woman she loved so much.

“Mom, I'm going to go to work first. Mom, take care of yourself at home. If there is anything, immediately call me,” said Axelina before she left for work.

Axelina Pearl, a hardworking woman who is never shy about her job as a bartender at a nightclub in Bandung. Axelina works from morning to night with two jobs. In the morning she worked as a waiter at a fast food place and after returning from her first job, she headed straight to the night club as a bartender. Even though many people sneer at her job, Axelina doesn't really care. Because for Axelina, her mother's health is the most important.

“What information did you get today?” said Amar Trixeon in a flat voice. Amar sat in his oversized chair staring at one of his men who he told to find out about Axelina. A woman who looks normal when she looks at him. Amar feels challenged to get her, especially when he saw Axelina's very seductive body. He wanted to enjoy her, making Axelina satisfy his lust. Just imagining it made Amar Trixeon's junior harden.

“She is now trying to raise money for the cost of treating her mother who developed stage four blood cancer. You may know that the cost of cancer treatment is not cheap, for that reason Axelina works hard from morning to night,” said Martin firmly. Amar Trixeon smiled, there was a cunning plan lodged in his brain to trap Axelina.

“Prepare the car, I want to go to where Axelina works now,” Amar orders. Martin nodded his head and left Amar's room.

“You should be mine no matter what,” inner Amar. Amar walks out of his room, he wants to do his own plan, without any interference of his people. Amar enters the lift which has opened, pushes the button downstairs where the car park. Not long after the elevator door closed, the elevator door opened again. Amar steps towards the car that Martin has prepared. Martin opens the door for Amar, Amar sits in the steering seat and starts the car. Martin closes Amar's car door, and the car starts to drive away from the company parking lot.

Flashback

The sound of DJ music can be heard in every corner of the room. Axelina, with her distinctive style when serving drinks to visitors, has made Axelina known to cafe visitors. What's more, the VIP guests who always want to mix special drinks by Axelina. The bartender is a dazzling beauty.

“Axe, we will soon have a special guest, make the best drink to entertain him,” said Rio, the owner of the night club.

“Who wants to come, boss?” Axelina asked curiously.

“He's my best friend who just came back from Aussie,” said Rio looking happy. Not long after, Rio's lover named Jonathan arrived.

“Hey, Baby!” said Jonathan while kissing Rio's cheek.

“Hey, Honey. You just came, huh? Where have you been?” said Rio interrogating his lover who came late. Axelina, who saw the gay couple in front of her, could only shake her head. Because it was a common sight that she had seen since the first time she worked at the club tonight. Axelina doesn't want to interfere in the cafe owner's business, even though Rio often confides in her. Axelina really appreciates the differences that exist in Rio who is different like men in general.

Rio and Jonathan's arguments stop when Amar arrives. Rio was very happy when he saw his little friend in front of him at this time.

“My sweety boy!” shouted Rio while hugging Amar. Amar, who looks uncomfortable being hugged by Rio, immediately releases Rio's hug on his body.

“Hey, what the hell are you doing, Rio? What an imitation guy,” said Amar sarcastically.

“How bad you are. Just arrived already told me an imitation guy. Even if it's true, you don't have to be either, Mar,” said Rio with his exaggerated style. Axelina, who saw the scene in front of her at the moment, couldn't help but laugh.

“Axe, give our best drink to this motherfucker,” said Rio.

“OK, boss!” said Axelina while giving a drink in front of Amar. Amar immediately took the drink in front of him and drank it. Amar chuckled in awe of the drink Axelina made, it was delicious and warm on the body.

“How's my cafe's best tasting drink? Does it make you want to try again?” said Rio arrogantly.

“I want to taste your bartender's seductive body,” said Amar quietly in Rio's ear. Rio who heard Amar's words suddenly became angry.

“Don't you dare mess with Axelina, she's a good woman,” said Rio coldly. Rio considered Axelina like his own sister. The life story of Axelina made Rio very sympathetic to Axelina. The hardworking woman Rio met for the first time.

“She's so hot and seductive, I wanna have her, make her my bedmate,” said Amar without the slightest sense of guilt. Rio, who heard Amar's words, was getting furious. He did not think that his friend had really changed.

“You dare to touch her, I will not hesitate to kill you with my own hands,” said Rio full of emphasis in every word.

“Don't you hate girls? Why are you even angry with me now?” said Amar, curious about Rio's sudden change.

“I really respect Axelina, I already consider her like my own sister, so don't you ever bother her and dare touch her,” said Rio firmly.

“You are really strange, you consider a servant as a sister. You will even consider a parking attendant as your father,” said Amar casually while still looking at Axelina who was making drinks for cafe customers.

Amar is increasingly curious about Axelina, why her best friend is willing to defend her? Moreover, Axelina was as usual when she looked at him. Even though many women are crazy because of the good looks he has. Who is willing to give up their body for free to be his sleeping companion.
