Ondama, a chic district of the city of Evodoula, is particularly popular with members of high society. Those who are able to spend lavishly do not deprive themselves of the moments of relaxation that every moment spent in these places brings them. On this day, three young women meet on the terrace of a café that stands out for its extravagance.

"I'll never get tired of this tea." Says a young woman in the prime of her life.

''This coffee is really excellent... We should get together more often to enjoy these moments between girls." Says another young woman identical to the first.

"That's right, Ama, you've been giving us less and less time since you've been hanging out with this guy." Said the first young woman.

"What's his name? I remember it was hmmm ... Enama. Yes, that's right." Said the second.

"For once, Ama is interested in something other than her family business... The most surprising thing is that she's interested in a guy." The young woman adds.

"This one must really be special." Comments the other.

"I can assure you that he is... He is a man full of surprises... I can't even understand what's in the back of his mind." Said Ama, who didn't seem to be happy about it.

"This story looks really serious. You can tell us more if you don't mind." Says the young woman.

"Girls, it's not what you imagine. Do you remember Grandma Emana who came to the house from time to time?" Ama Asks

"Yes, it's been a few years since I've heard from her." Said the other young woman.

"Me neither. What is she becoming? What does she have to do with your suitor?'' The young woman asks, sipping her coffee.

"Suitor? As I just told you, I'm not interested in Énama. At least not in this way... And I think it's mutual." Ama comments, "At best, he's trying to use me or recruit me."

"And what is the relationship between this nice lady and him?" asks the young woman who is trying to unravel this story.

"A few years ago, she asked me to keep an eye on her grandson if she was no longer around to do so... Since his childhood, he has been kept away from family business." Ama said.

"A master raised like a human, it happens every day, but it still doesn't tell us why you hang out with Enama, who supposedly doesn't interest you." Comments the young woman.

Ama, who doesn't appreciate her friend's impatience, picks up a cookie from the table and eats it. She takes a sip of coffee and puts her cup on the table.

"Enama was the best friend of the one I had to watch over. It was easier to get closer to his friend since he had been trying to curry favor with me for a while. In the end it didn't work out and everything got complicated. The different lineages could even be in danger." Ama said.

''I was hoping for a girls' outing far from all these stories...'' Says the young woman who dropped the subject as soon as she understood the serious nature of this conversation. "We'll talk about that another time. For now, let's enjoy these cupcakes."

At the same time, the waiter arrives and places a multi-tiered tray containing cupcakes. The three young women rush to it, forgetting the conversation that occupied them just a few seconds before the waiter arrived. They give the impression of really appreciating the place where they are.

"It's true that I said I didn't want to talk about it anymore, but tell me the famous grandson, how is he? What's going on between you?" The young woman asks.

"Bella, you don't even give me time to put one on." Ama said

"Come on, tell us." Said the other young woman.
