Contract With You
Chapter 7

"Sorry, who are you?"

The surprised Mika instantly turned around and looked at a woman behind her. A woman with brown hair stood in front of her. Lips as red as the blood of the skimpy clothes she was wearing as well as the pungent smell of the perfume that made Mika cover her nose.

"I'm dropping someone off" Mika replied quickly.

"Oh. Why don't you just go in?"

The girl suddenly smiled cunningly. He grabbed Mika and invited her in.

Door opens. Mika saw Aiko who was chatting with her mother.

"Mother, I brought someone,"

Aiko who was surprised immediately turned her attention to Mika who was in the embrace of her mother's different sister with her.

"President Mika! What are you doing here?" ask Aiko's surprised mother.

"Mica?"

Aiko stood up and approached Mika.

"Sorry, she pulled me here" Mika explained, shaking her hand.

Aiko's mother was stunned. He took a breath.

"Yuki, who are you carrying that with you?" ask him with a heavy tone.

"Ah, that's yes, Mom. I met him up ahead. And it looks like he's close to Aiko" Yuki said. He approached his mother and whispered in her ear. I don't know what she whispered, but it made Aiko's mother surprised and her face changed.

"He who?"

Mika asked suddenly and made Aiko surprised.

"What?! Oh, he, his name is Yuki. You could say he's my brother,"

"Say you?"

"Yes, because we're one father but different mothers. My mother thought of her as a child after Yuki's mother died in a car accident when Yuki was 4 years old" Aiko explained. Aiko's eyes implied a deep sadness.

"You going home now? Mom's waiting for you to try on the new dress she made,"

invite Mika who can't stand to see Aiko's sad face.

Aiko simply replied with a smile.

"Mom, I have to go home. I'm going to tomorrow..."

"You don't have to come here anymore!"

Before she finished speaking, I yelled at Aiko with a face full of hatred.

"What does Mom mean?" the tears that Aiko had been holding back from before slowly flowed down her cheeks.

"******* like you don't deserve to be my son" Mother said. Yuki grinned at seeing Aiko being surprised instead of playing.

"What does mother mean? What did you do to make Mom like this?" ask Aiko to Yuki.

"Don't bring Yuki! The proof is in plain sight, you are tempting President Mika to want to finance your needs right?!"

"Huh?! Sorry to interrupt, I'm not doing this because I was teased by Aiko. But this is my choice" replied Mika. She hugged Aiko tightly in tears.

"Mr President Mika, this is our family matter. It seems you don't deserve to interfere" Yuki said.

Yuki approached Aiko and was about to touch her hair.

"Plack!!"

"You better not mess with my wife, Miss Yuki, either,"

Mika quickly slaps Yuki's hand that was about to touch Aiko.

"Wife what do you mean?" aiko's mother asked in surprise.

"Like that I haven't talked about it. Let me tell you, Auntie. Me and..." Mika stopped her speech because Aiko shook her head.

"Why?"

"Let me go," Aiko turned her back, "Mother, I belong to someone else. Don't worry about your hospital payment, Mika has already paid for it. And Yuki as my sister, take care of Mom for me," Aiko stepped slowly out of her mother's room with tears flooding her face.

"I'm sorry. Sorry for taking your daughter who wasn't considered that. But don't worry, because I won't bother your family anymore. Ah, and also. If you still have a sense of humanity, I want to tell you that the person who has been financing you is Aiko,"

Mika said as she stepped out following Aiko.

"Actually, does the world still accept me or not? First my father left us, my mother was sick, and I had to leave everything I liked. I stopped enjoying my youth and started looking for money to support my mother. But, actually now. I'm not even considered his son anymore just for bringing a man in front of him. My sister Yuki, what does she whisper to mom to the point that mom calls me *******? My heart's hurting,"

"Almost you kiss the floor,"

said Mika.

"My head hurts, Mika. Come on, go home..," murmured Aiko.

"Alright, don't think about anything else," Mika lifted up Aiko's already weakly drooping body. He walked towards the car and looked out which turned out the sun had sunk.

Mika lays Aiko in the back seat of her car. Slowly the car drove towards Mika's new home.

Cuit....

"Emmm.."

Aiko opened her eyes slowly. The morning arrived so quickly, Aiko sat on the bed and looked at the large window beside her. The wind blew the curtains and the fragrant rain began to feel. The still messy hair was blown by the cold rain.

"Cold. It's still autumn, though,"

Clamps...

The door to the room is open.

"It turns out it's awake. What do you want to eat this morning?" Mika went into the room. It seemed like she had just finished her bath because her hair was still wet and only wore shorts.

"Please condition your sixpack in front of a girl" said Aiko who returned to lie down and pulled her blanket. Mika sighed and sat down beside Aiko who was still lying down.

"When do you cry?" Mika stroked Aiko's head slowly.

"Where is this? This is not the room we used to wear" asked Aiko.

"I just bought this house. I hope it matches what you want. Because Mother is too chatty if we stay there,"

Aiko glanced at Mika who was sitting beside her.

"She bought a house this good just for the two of you? What was he thinking all along? However, his hair was still wet... Argh, what am I thinking? Keep such dirty thoughts away. But still,"

Mika looked at Aiko who was looking at her and made Aiko surprised.

"What are you looking at?"

"Huh, it's nothing. It's just, you look handsome," murmured Aiko.

"Aahaha,"

"Don't laugh!" aiko said with shame. He sat down and pulled out his blanket.

Mika throws her towel towards Aiko.

"Just kidding. Please dry my hair" she asked.

Aiko dries Mika's hair with a towel.

Two hours later

At the dinner table

At the dining table, there were only two benches that Aiko and Mika had occupied. The food was arranged by the waiter. While drinking a cup of coffee, Mika glanced at Aiko who was just staring at the food on the table without words.

"His eyes are swollen like goldfish. She seemed to cry all her sleep,"

"Don't just shut up. Fill your stomach with a little food," said Mika while offering a spoon filled with soup.

"I can eat by myself" Aiko said as she picked up the spoon held by Mika. Aiko ate the soup.

After finishing eating

"Hahhhhhhhhh,"

Aiko took a long breath. He sat on the front bench because Mika told him to come out.

"Go out and get some fresh air. I want to take you away after this," that's what Mika said just finished breakfast.

"Rain spots are getting heavier. The cold also felt more bone-chilling. Come to think of it, I used to dislike the rain because it always bothered me to work. But now I seem to like the rain. It smelled fragrant, and there was Mika now," Aiko muttered in her heart.

"Where will he take me?" Aiko muttered.
