Crushing Blow
Amelia wanted to be able to hear her voice live. Not hiding and letting other people acknowledge the voice. Even if it is her sister.
David smiled happily, this is what he wanted. He wanted to promote Amelia as soon as possible.
"Have we met before, Jasmine?" asked David.
"I don't think so, I've lived in Korea since high school and when I saw the competition yesterday I was only interested in joining and bringing the name Indonesia."
"Why?"
"Because, sometimes when we are in our own country we have difficulties to be able to advance, we need to go and prove ourselves in another country. Because when we bring the name of our country to another country, then we are respected. Yes, like today. If I participate in competitions in other countries. Indonesia does not necessarily mean that I can become a champion. But, because I am a champion in another country, I find it easier in my country. "
David chuckled, "It's because you just met me. I'm the type who appreciates other people's talents," said David.
Amelia's eyes were rounded and she was looking at David seriously.
"Then can I ask a question?"
"Yes, just ask."
"Why are you interested in working with me?" asked Amelia seriously.
David took a deep breath, he grabbed his drink and took a slow sip. After that, he looked at Amelia calmly.
"At first I saw your appearance on the show. Then, I was interested to hear your really beautiful voice. So I asked Patricia to go to Korea and see you," said David.
"Ah, you are interested because you heard my voice?"
"Of course, Jasmine. What else should a singer have besides having a beautiful voice? Yes, in choosing talents I am most fussy with vocal quality.
Amelia grinned and looked at David, "If I were fat, would you keep telling Patricia to find me and find me?" asked Amelia casually. Suddenly David immediately choked and coughed at Amelia's question. Patricia could only hold back her laughter at seeing David, who was so suffocated.
"Alas, you're choking. Is there something wrong with my question?" asked Amelia innocently as she put the chunks of meat into her mouth.
"It's okay, it just so happened that the cutlet was a little too big," David replied embarrassedly.
'Feel it! Amelia made you to death, 'thought Patricia, amused.
David just glared at her when he saw Patricia, who was trying so hard to hold back a laugh. He decided not to ask any more questions and continued eating.
After finishing eating, David immediately escorted Amelia and Nina back to the apartment without speaking anymore. He didn't want his words to backfire like that.
"My apartment is on the 10th floor if you need some ...."
"I'll call Patricia if I need anything, Mr. David. It feels more comfortable for me," Amelia said interrupting David.
"Well then Patricia and I should go back to the office, maybe you and Nina want to rest," said David.
"Yes, we are very tired and need rest, so we would be very grateful if you could leave us both."
Patricia giggled in stifled laughter, while David just nodded and said goodbye.
"That girl is crazy!" said David.
"Crazy? You don't see she's so pretty, her body, wow ... it feels like Karla's body wasn't that beautiful before. She's so cute and has a beautiful voice."
David glared at Patricia.
"Are you teasing me?"
Patricia rolled her two shades and tossed her hair.
"Where the hell am I teasing you, I'm just telling the truth."
"Huh, you've been just holding back laughing and looking so happy to see me suffer," said David. Patricia just giggled, "I'm holding back from laughing because you are so cute. Usually, you are the one who always snaps at girls. But, now you have to be patient with Jasmine."
David took a deep breath, "But, I seem to have known Jasmine for a long time. Her voice, the look in her eyes, she reminds me of someone," David said softly.
"Ah, you are hallucinations. All beautiful women you say you've met," said Patricia.
David shook his head, "No, I'm pretty sure I know her. Maybe I met her somewhere in the past. Because I'm pretty sure I've met her."
"Up to you."
"Can you help investigate?"
"Huh ?! Are you sane or not? Heh, my position is your representative, not the police who have to investigate other people."
"I saw she was quite close to you. I'm sure she would want to talk to you."
"Yes, but what should I know? It's obvious, right? She received a scholarship in high school in Korea. So, she lived there for a long time. Jasmine doesn't have parents, she used to live in an orphanage," said Patricia.
David sighed, "Ah, so she's an orphan? "
"Yes! It's clear what other orphans want to be investigated? You weird!"
"He ... ah, never mind. Tomorrow prepare the song she will choose," said David.
"You don't need to ask, I've prepared everything."
David gave a thumbs-up with a smile, he could count on Patricia.
"By the way, Pat, you have no intention of looking for a lover? I can see that you never want to be close to a man. You're still normal, right?"
"Hua! You are you, do you want my right hand or left hand to punch you? I'll report it to my mother later!"
"Hey ... Don't bring your mother, please. You whistleblower!"
"It can be crazy. I have a cousin who is insane as you. Listen carefully, David, I don't have a boyfriend yet because I want to have the good of the best. So, just wait for the date of the game," replied Patricia.
That girl had not thought about having a lover. She is still at home single because she wants to find the best man in her life.
Meanwhile, at the apartment, Amelia was tidying up her clothes. Slowly she stroked the wardrobe. Her room had not changed at all, Amelia opened her bedroom window. One thing he likes about this apartment unit is the balcony of her room. In the past, almost every night Amelia sat on the balcony enjoying the night air and counting the stars.
Amelia turned to the corner of the room, she was stunned when she saw her guitar. David didn't throw it away, and it wasn't even dusty at all. Amelia remembers that she bought the guitar from her first salary. But, when she left this apartment, she did leave it on purpose.
Slowly Amelia grabbed it, then played it with great feeling.
'Listen to the song here in my heart
A melody I start but can't complete
Listen to the sound from deep within
It's only beginning to find release
Oh, the time has come for my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside and turned
Into your own, all 'cause you won't
Listen
Listen, I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried to say what's in mind
You should have known '
"Ms. Jasmine's voice is melodious ... Sorry, I didn't knock on the door. After all, the door was also open."
Amelia turned around, Nina seemed to be standing at the door of her room carrying her make-up box.
"It's okay, Nin. Is that my make-up box?"
"Yes, Ms. Anyway, Tasya called earlier, she said she sent a message. But, you haven't replied yet."
Amelia patted her forehead, forgetting that she was going to make a video call when she was in the apartment.
"Thank you, Nin."
"You're welcome, Ms."
