My Son's Dad

FORTY-FIVE

“So true today Mama Claudia will pick up Cherryl?!” Cherryl asked with a series beaming face, Aaron nodding in response.

“Horee! Cherry so can't wait for the hour home!” cherryl exclaimed with a laugh, Aaron laughed even though his focus was still ahead. Driving to Cherryl school.

“Your study hours have not started yet but you have thought about home hours.”

“Cherryl missed Mama Claudia.” Initially Cherryl sounded sad but finally he again exclaimed his spirit. He can't wait to meet his Mama Claudia.

When Aaron arrived at his office, he found an envelope neatly located on his desk.

Aaron knew what the envelope was, the envelope must have been from his man last night, the guy's job was really fast. But Aaron didn't expect to get his results this fast. He thought it was the fastest today but not this morning, maybe afternoon or evening.

Aaron sat in his chair and opened the envelope, his brows furrowing as he looked at the contents of the envelope.

The contents of the envelope are the personal data of a patient, looking at a photo of the patient's self data Aaron knows that it is the sister of Claudia. Because previously Aaron had gone with Claudia to the hospital and Claudia showed a patient lying in the ward was his sister.

Then why does the person in this self-data have a different name to what Claudia told Aaron before? Claudia had previously said that her sister's name was Siska Theanine.

Then why is it that in this self data is actually called Cecilia Putri?

How could an older brother mispronounce his own sister's name, impossible and also absurd.

And in the patient data that Aaron saw, the woman that Claudia said was his sister still had a living parent, unlike what Claudia said. Claudia said that both her parents had long since died.

Why is everything so confusing like this?

Aaron's phone suddenly rang, a sign of the incoming phone from his man.

“Sorry to interrupt Sir, I just want to give you the information I just got. In accordance with the data I have given Mrs Claudia there is no blood relation with a woman named Cecilia Putri. And a patient named Cecilia Putri has been out of the hospital since a week ago.”

Aaron massaged his temples, he started to feel dizzy. If the woman was not Claudia Aaron's younger sister could have been thinking positively maybe she's a relative of the family that Claudia already considers as her own family, but if the woman had been out of the hospital a week ago then who had Claudia been visiting for a week? Even Claudia got home late at night.

Aaron turned off his phone, he got up from his sitting position about to return home to ask Claudia for clarity but the door of his room suddenly opened. His secretary appeared with furrowed brows, puzzled at Aaron who looked a bit chaotic.

“Bapak is fine? Soon the meeting will begin.”

Aaron clucked, he just remembered that he had an important meeting today.
