Contract With You
Chapter 15

"When you close your eyes. I always see the same shadow. I stood alone in the dark, in the rain, and lonely. Question after question I often ask. Will this rain stop raining on me? Will the light make this place bright? Where's the exit?

I used to have a harmonious family. A very loving mother and a very warm father. However, all of it is gone like a picture frame that falls and breaks. I know that you're married again. It made his disease recur again and made his condition more severe.

All that happiness was gone overnight. My father left me and my mother. He went with his new wife and had a daughter.

Not long ago. His new wife died in an accident. Dad didn't want to take care of his son, so he gave it to mom. At first I thought she would be treated cruelly for harassing our family. But even mom loves him. The affection that was even more than what was given to me.

It hurts, it hurts so much. It was like being stabbed by thousands of arrows. But there was nothing I could do at the time.

I can only support my mother and sister. When he was a teenager, he told him to go back home. Mother also quarreled with father to make the disease worse.

I don't know why everything is like a dream. I want to wake up from this dream. The truth is bitter. A lot of questions filled my head.

What was I looking for all this time? What does all this travel mean? What's at the end of the road I'm following?"

•••

Aiko woke up from her sleep. He woke up sitting and on the bed holding his head.

"My head feels like it's going around in circles" Aiko muttered.

"Where is this?" he continued while looking around.

Not long after Aiko said the word, the door of the room opened and gave rise to a girl holding a vegetable spoon.

"It turned out to be awake" he said as he walked towards Aiko, "How is your body?"

"Eitherway. It doesn't taste very good. By the way, how long have I been here?" ask Aiko back with her cute eyes.

*If I had turned it down at that time, maybe I would never have been caught up in this uncertainty. I want time to play back so I can fix the past. Haha, wouldn't I be greedy if it were like that.

Will the light be able to illuminate me again*?

"You fell asleep for two days. That's why there's an infusion in your hand" Mia replied and slightly surprised Aiko.

"Two days?! So what happened to Mika?! Is he here?" ask Aiko in a row and make Mia change the look on her face.

"The idiot tried to pick you up. But I scolded him,"

Mia started telling stories

"Open the door or I-..," Mika's remark was cut off. He was about to curse Mia for not being allowed in to pick up Aiko.

"Or what? You think I'd just hand it over. Wouldn't you be naive if you just wanted to have it?" mia said in front of the door while blocking Mika who wanted to break in.

"Aiko is mine, do you have the right to hide it like this?" mika replied coldly and made Mia slightly goosebumps. But he still did not want to give up Aiko just like that.

"Aiko is human. He has his own feelings and desires. Not a doll that you can take with you everywhere and move according to your orders. She never loved you" Mia's last words jolted Mika.

"He doesn't love me?"

"Did he ever say sincere love to you? Aiko is just caught in uncertainty. So now go" said Mia, closing the door.

What have I been doing all this time wrong? What did I do to him that was wrong? I think only with the wedding vows can she be mine.

Haha, he doesn't love me as it turns out. I am naive about myself.

•••

"So like that, I thought he'd give up after I said that. But" Mia stood up and pulled the curtain. Seen from the window of Mika's car is still parked in the yard of Mia's house.

"So, Mika stays there," Aiko's pupil trembled.

"Yes, even she seems-," before Mia was about to finish her sentence, Aiko had already run down and left Mia alone.

•••

"How could he survive two days there?"

Aiko ran in a hurry towards Mika's car.

Arriving there, Aiko unceremoniously opened the unlocked car door.

He saw Mika who was asleep while folding her hands.

"What's wrong is me, huh? Too greedy and selfish,"

Aiko stroked Mika's cheek gently and made her wake up.

"Why do you always come to my dreams? Can it ever come in the real world?"

"You think I'm not real, huh? Alright now go back to sleep," Aiko said as she forced herself to smile.

Mika realizes that Aiko who is now in front of her is not a dream. She hugged Aiko and didn't want her to leave again.

From above, behind the window. Mia looked at the two of them while smiling.

"Should I just apologize, huh?" he said as he folded his hands in front of his chest.

"When I thought he wouldn't believe it. But good, they can be together again. Do I have to find a boyfriend too, huh?" mia murmured in her heart while chuckling.

°°°

"Short story short, I went home with Mika again. If I think about it again, I was wrong. I'll apologize to Mika later.

Mia is also a good friend. Thank you all. Just having you in my life is enough,"

°°°

A Few Days Later

"So, Mika doesn't come home anymore?" aiko asked as she was about to devour the soup that was already on her spoon.

"Master is still very busy because that time he left his job just like that," replied Aunt Liya who was accompanying Aiko at the moment.

Aunt Liya was Mika's nanny as a child. Until now he is still serving Mika even though he is not young anymore.

"He is not very healthy. The house becomes deserted if there is no one," murmured Aiko.

"Hmm, what if Madam gets a baby soon?" aunt Liya said with a smile and made Aiko ashamed.

"Auntie, I'm young. Mika definitely doesn't like small children either" Aiko replied with flushed cheeks.

"Master will definitely like it,"

"Ukhhh, I'm not sure. Anyway I still can't do that with-brak!!! brak!!!

Aiko's words were cut off as a loud sound came from the main door.

"Get out now, Aiko!!!!" followed by a shout and made Aiko confused.
