Bachelor's Quest

Quest 1

Athrun Zala, it was his name, a guy with navy blue hair, had a pair of emerald eyes, had a fair tall and athletic body, a guy, whom everyone said is kind of the perfect person in this world. He had all, money, appearance, charm that can make every girl fell for him except one, Cagalli Hibiki.

Cagalli Hibiki, an ordinary teenage girl with shoulder length blonde hair, pair of amber eyes, body that could make some girls envy. She was one who worked at Starbucks café as a waitress. It was one of her part-time jobs to help her to gain some money for settling her debts and loans.

So, what made this girl didn't fall for his charm? Simple, she hate him, in fact she REALLY, REALLY hate him that much that she wanted to throw him to the sea with many sharks so they could eat him. Why she hate him that much? Hmm…let's see…actually to tell the truth, Cagalli didn't really hate him in personal, but she really hate that kind of person, a person, who thought everything can be paid and bought by money. Well, though she needed much money to settle her debts and loans, but still, she didn't like that kind of person.

Now, that famous and extraordinary Athrun Zala was sitting and drinking his coffee at the café, where Cagalli was working. He did that in purpose indeed, he wanted to see Cagalli and saw if he could do something to make her fell for him.

"In your dreams, Zala. Now, if you have finished your latte, you can just go away and do another thing except annoying me!" shouted Cagalli to Athrun. Athrun smirked to her as he put his cup onto the table.

"I think, you know that you can shoo me away like your other customers, right? You should have known that, I have my own right whether to stay, to walk away, or to annoy you right?"

"Then you should have know, Mr. Zala, I have my own authority to shoo you away like other customers, cause you are no different with them. Now, get away, I need to clean this table. The other customers are waiting, don't you know that?"

"I ain't see any customers." He replied with a smirk as he was looking to her angry face.

"Well, they'll come here soon." She shouted back because she didn't want to lose and knew that Athrun's was right, there's no other customer except him and four others.

"Then, if they've come, you could just tell me to share place with them. I'll be glad to share it." Cagalli infuriated then walked away as she had lost to this debate, again. Athrun continued to drink his latte as he was watching her gone from his view.

"Cagalli, you are really interesting." A smirk crossed on his face as he swallowed his latte.

"Sir, there're Mister and Mistress Zala down here. They want to see you. Shall I let them in?"

A middle aged man with long purple hair, grey mustache, who was busy signing and checking some documents in the big office room, answered with a smile crossed on his face to the intercome, "Of course, you shall let them in, I'll be waiting them in my office room."

"Right away, Sir."

Then the old man continued his job until someone knocked his office's door. He let them in. from the door, appeared 3 people, one was a lady aged about 25 or more, holding some documents and two others, a middle aged woman with long blue hair and a middle aged man. The lady pleased the couple to come in and sat on the sofa right in front the owner's desk. Then the lady walked to her boss and said, "Sir, these are some documents you need to check once more and sign."

"Thank you, Ramius." With then the lady, Ramius walked away and closed the door, leaving the three of them.

"So, what makes you two come here? Sure, it's not about business, is it?" The old man opened the conversation.

"Well, Attha" answered the woman but interrupted by the old man.

"The name's Uzumi, Lenore."

"Well, Uzumi, it's about our son, Athrun." The woman said softly yet worry was in her tone.

"What about him?" asked Uzumi, confused.

"It's…well, you know him."

"Sure, he is surely an active guy, hmm…really active I mean, moreover he is smart, a socialize people. So, something's wrong with him? Don't tell me, he got sick or something." Uzumi said as he stood up from his chair and walked to the sofa and sat on it.

"No, it's not about he got sick or something, it's about…" Lenore hesitated to tell the rest, then it made Mr. Zala decided to take the place.

"He, like any other ordinary teenage guy, is finding his true love, well you can say like that. That's why he keeps dating with many different kind ladies. We don't have any problem with the lady's social status or how she looks like as long as our son, Athrun loves him. However, it turns out that Athrun doesn't want to continue the relationship into something more serious than dating."

"So, your point is?" asked Uzumi to make sure his guess was right.

"Our point is that we want to engage our son, Athrun, with your daughter. Well, sure, if they don't like each other, we can cancel the engagement, but I hope from this engagement he can learn something."

"Well, I can help you with the engagement. But the problem is… I don't have any daughter, I just have my son, Kira Yula Attha, as you know, he is Athrun's best friend."

"We heard that you have a daughter." Lenore said the statement. Suddenly, Uzumi's face turned into the sad one.

"I had indeed, however, it was before the accident, you remember?"

"Sorry." Lenore apologized as she didn't know that she reminded him of those bad memories.

"It's okay. So, if you need any help, come to me and tell me, alright?" said Uzumi to them, forcing to make a smile.

Lenore and Mr. Zala nodded, they permitted themselves to get out from the room. Uzumi pleased them, but before they went out from the room, he remembered something.

"Ah…I heard that Mr. Campbell has one daughter, Mia Campbell and also Mr. Hawke, he has two daughters, Lunamaria and Meyrin. Why don't give them a try?"

Lenore shook her head and said, "They were all Athrun's ex-girlfriend, so, I don't think if we engage Athrun with them, it can help him."

"I see…well, sure, if I have something that I can help both of you, I'll call you." Uzumi said as he gave his hand to be shaken. Both Lenore and Mr. Zala nodded then Mr. Zala took Uzumi's hand and shake it.

"See you soon, Uzumi." Said Mr. Zala.

"You too, Patrick."

It was 1 o'clock in the afternoon now and Athrun didn't show any move that told him that he wanted to leave the café. It had been 4 hours for him to stay in that café and Cagalli wondered why he could stay that long. He had come ever since the café was just opened and just ordered one latte for him and since then he didn't do anything anymore. However, the manager couldn't shoo him away like any other customers cause you know, he is Athrun Zala, son of Patrick and Lenore Zala, who was the 2nd rich people and that café was just one of his family's.

Then, exactly at half past one, Athrun called Cagalli.

"So, decided to go away and pay the bills?" mocked Cagalli.

"Nah, not yet, just wanted to order another latte and some snacks, the delicious one, please." He said, smiling to her softly. Cagalli answered with a smile although she was really angry. She got back to the kitchen and came back again with his order on her hands.

"Well, could you please make all these two?" asked Athrun politely that made Cagalli felt something's wrong. She got back to the kitchen and came back with the same order.

After she put all the orders on his table, suddenly Athrun grabbed her hand and said, "Sit down. You shall eat this too. It's nice like you said."

Cagalli dumbfounded, wanted to reject him, but couldn't since the manager was glaring at her and had a don't-you-dare-to-reject-his-command face to her. Cagalli had no choice but joining him for lunch and share the place together.

This scene made the other guests, especially girls wondered why and of course the girls were all glaring at her.
