The After One Night Mistake

The arrival of Antonio

Boril dragged his steps into El Barack's workroom. His face looked so pale and limp, like one who had no breakfast.

Realizing Boril's arrival, El turned his head for a while and then returned to focus on his laptop screen. "It's only the first day and you're too late. Today there will be an endorsement meeting of the CEO's office that I'm holding again."

Boril did not care what the boss said, he just took off his briefcase and rested in front of the desk. "Sir, it looks like I've made a big mistake."

Hearing that, El Barack turned to look at Boril. His forehead was confused. "Whatchu mean? Did you go to a nightclub last night and sleep with a random woman?"

Boril's head shook quickly. "Not that." He lifted his head, looking at El with a sad look. "Sir, we've spent a lot of time together. You're not gonna cut off my head just for making one mistake, are you?"

This time El began to look serious, he immediately stood up from his sitting position and approached Boril. "Stand." He helped Boril to stand up. "Now tell me, what mistake have you made?"

Before revealing what happened, Boril tried to regulate his breathing to be calmer. "I'm sorry before, very sorry. The great sir came to see me and asked me to speak. And .. and I didn't want to say but this brash mouth, ti-"

"So you told me everything?" el cut Boril's words. The eagle's eyes stared intently at the secretary. "You told me about Aina and Alvian?"

Boril nodded. "Yes, Sir." He lowered his head while clutching both hands tightly. "I'm really sorry, sir. I can't ignore the big Master's question, again sa ...." When Boril again straightened his head, El was no longer in front of him. "Master, where is he."

Aina, clutching tightly at the end of her clothes. Today his worry had reached its peak, but again he could not say anything.

He could only be speechless with a pale face, seeing his son chattering and laughing happily with a middle-aged man, who was carrying so many fantastic precious toys.

Al who had been playing since, stepped quickly to approach the mother. "Ma, look. Grandpa bought this for Al, keyen, right?" Al seemed so enthusiastic when showing the robot toy to the mother.

"Yes, what a great pity. Al likes it?" Aina could still ask with a smile. At least he did not want to show the matter to the son. He turned back to look at the middle-aged man who had been looking at him since earlier. "Thank you for being so considerate of Al, but this is overkill."

It had been four years, and Aina had suddenly become unfamiliar with the man. Antonio Alexander, the man he used to meet at Rich Group offices, while still working as El Barack's secretary.

The curvature of the smile was drawn so kindly on that wrinkled face. "Oh that's okay, secretary ... um, I mean Aina. I already know about your problem and El dimasalalu. And also I already know that this Al is a cu-"

"Sorry, Sir." Cut Aina. This time he tried to brave himself, looking into Antonio's eyes. "Whatever happens in the past between me and Mr. El. Those are just bad memories, please don't bother me and my son."

Antonio sighed softly while nodding slowly. "Hm, okay. I understand, but I want to hear Al's decision. She's my granddaughter, so she deserves a decent life." Antonio went to Al who was playing. "Al'll go with Grandpa, we'll buy all the toys you want."

"You want to!" Al jumped up and down in excitement. Yes, all this time the little boy never got a lot of good and expensive toys, because his life and the mother was very simple.

Antonio turned back to see Aina with a look full of victory. "You see, a child of his age is in desperate need of attention and a decent life. And he can get all that, he's Alvian Alexander."

Aina could not hold back her tears. He fell down and started crying. His heart was filled when he saw the son so happy with all the luxuries that Antonio offered. While he could what, there was no luxury he could give.

The three-year-old boy knew nothing. He could not understand what his mother was feeling right now. All he knows is pleasure, like children in general when offered fun.

Antonio immediately stood up from his position. "I'll take Al to town. I'll pay for the time I don't spend with my grandchildren."

Aina immediately wiped her tears, then walked over to the son. "Al, look at Mama, son. You really want to go with Grandpa on a city trip?"

Aina was completely helpless. The biggest thing he wanted in this world was to see his son happy. "Em, Al go first. Mama will follow. Al can't be naughty yeah, must be a good boy."

"Guys!" Al again jumped up and down in excitement and then rushed to hug the mother. "Maacih Ma's. Al deang Mama."

Aina's cry broke despite silence without a sound. He tightened his embrace, patting the back of the son softly. "Yes, Mama loves Al too."

After a while, Aina wiped her tears and immediately let go of the hug. He looked back at Antonio. "I'll pick up my son, next week. I believe you're not a cruel person who would separate a mother from her child."

Antonio smiled at her smile. "For that matter, you can discuss it with El Barack. My business is only about Alvian, the future successor to the Alexander family."

Aina clasped her hands tightly, looking at Antonio's eyes that seemed to hint at the same thing as El said yesterday.

***

An hour passed, El got out of the car shortly after arriving at Aina's courtyard. Her feelings were already bad, when she did not see the two people who yesterday she asked to be on guard so that Aina did not run away carrying Al.

Her steps came to a halt right in the doorway, when she saw Aina sitting dreamily on the living room sofa. Her feelings were getting mixed, but still desperate to get close to Aina. "Ai, where's Al?"

Slowly Aina nodded her head, looking at the tall man standing right before her. "Satisfied you." Tears that had dried up, now flowed back. "You're content, have you taken everything from me?"

El Barack was still trying to catch his breath, but seeing Aina like this, guilt began to appear. "Ai, sorry. I really didn't know that Papa would find out about Al so soon."

Aina stood up from her sitting position, approaching El with hateful eyes. "Actually I was wrong what, over the years I went through this on my own, humiliated for being pregnant without a husband, do you know what it's like to be me!"

"Ai, I know. I'm sorry." I don't know, El's kind of out of words. Right now in front of her eyes for the first time she saw Aina so devastated. Even he could see the deep hatred from the woman's eyes.

"Go from here!" Aina pushed El's body as hard as she could. "I don't want to see you anymore."

"Aina listen to me!" But unfortunately the sturdy body of El Barack did not waver in the slightest. Instead, he was pushed by El to lie on the sofa.

At this moment Aina could not move because Al was on top of her body. For a moment they stared at each other in silence, at such a close distance. Aina could feel a body scent that was so fixed in memory.

"Talk a little, I won't hesitate to-"

"For what? What are you going to do to me, you bren man ...."

Not finished Aina's words, her mouth was silenced by El Barack with one kiss. Their lips reunited for the first time after the events four years ago.

Aina's rebellious body was now slowly weakening, her eyes closed. As if bewitched with a soft and warm touch of an El Barack Alexander.

What happened to me. I should have rejected all this. But .. but why did I become helpless, this man still controlled me even after four years had passed, inner Aina.
