Loving My Husband's Son
It was Sarah

PoV Nilam

After spending a few moments doing what I wanted in the office and following what Alex did at the company as well, I still couldn't feel much better than I do now.

Soon this day was over and I had to leave Alex because as my senior and best friend, he decided to do some of my work. I was on my way out of the company when my phone rang right when I was in the lobby. I quickly answered the phone call without hesitation.

"Hello dear." My words to Alex are sweet and perhaps too sweet because other people must think that I am talking to someone I love. But I don't care about that.

"So you're gone?" Ask Alex.

"Yet. I'm still in the lobby. Is there something you need my help with?" My toot.

"No, actually I just want to check your safety and no one's bothering you." Reply Alex.

"Of course there's nothing. I'm fine, so you can stop worrying about me." I said to Alex.

"Well, come home safely and we'll meet tomorrow as we've scheduled." Alex's Speech.

"All right." Reply me.

"I'm counting on you. We'll meet tomorrow and there's no way for you to back off."

I laughed and replied with a smile.

"Alright Alex. See you tomorrow." I said and ended the phone call.

But I was so surprised when I ended the phone call and my eyes saw the figure of Aldi who was hugging the woman named Sarah.

Once again my heart felt so hurt and I could not turn my eyes towards the loving couple before me.

"I miss you so much Aldi. How're you? Don't you miss me."

I was hoping she could tell Sarah to get away from him. But I felt a wound run through my chest when I heard the reply and the behavior Aldi showed Sarah.

"Of course I miss you so much."

"That's great. How about you buy me lunch." Said Sarah.

"Sure, as you wish." Reply Aldi.

I can't hold it anymore. I couldn't stand there to see Aldi making out with his first love in front of me. He was Aldi's first love, and I was just a love that was just a one-semester experience for Aldi and it ended quickly like how fast our relationship started and at that moment I could only hold back my anger and hold back my feelings my pain.

I walked out of the company and went straight back home. I was so upset about Aldi that I didn't eat dinner and locked myself in my room until late at night and now I regret it because I can't see my son Leon, and whisper good night to him

But I can't punish my son just because of that big bad wolf (Aldi).

In the morning, I went to Leon's room and he seemed to be asleep with a book in his hand. I think that Mr. Erfandi made her study hard again and I was an evil mother because I was more concerned with my career than the happiness of my own son.

"Mama, I'm sorry, dear." I said and rubbed her hair gently.

I looked at her face that looked so adorable while asleep. But I felt that I also woke her up because she blinked her eyes three times then opened them and looked at me.

"Mama....." He said and immediately woke up then rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand.

"Sorry baby, Mama woke you up." My speech.

"Mama...." Say again.

I didn't expect that he jumped straight into my arms and hugged me so tightly.

"Darling what's wrong? Did someone bully you?" Ask him.

"No Mama, I just miss Mama." The reply.

He just misses me and I understand why. I really didn't have time for her all day and I didn't even realize her way of speaking and her mention of words became so good. As a mother, I can't even figure out how my own child is progressing.

"Sorry baby, mama had a bad day." My speech.

"No, Mama is always the best. Mama just needs help..."

"What do you mean help?" Ask him.

He had really started to refine his vocabulary by now. But I still feel like my son is a little baby after all.

"Dear Mama is a good boy now. What if you make the most delicious dessert today?" Saying to him.

Creamy cake was his favorite and I remember that it was also a favorite of Aldi.

It took me at least 30 minutes to clean Leon and hold his little hand as we walked towards the kitchen to prepare breakfast for him, and guess who we met in the kitchen.

"Bro!!"

To Leon, Aldi was his best friend. But to me and in my heart, she is nothing more than a friend and someone who lives with me. There is something else, there is a story between us that I will never forget and even though we are still bound to each other by something uncertain, we're just being strangers now.

"Hi bro! Did you sleep well?" Aldi asked crouched down before Leon and started chatting with him.

"Yes, I fell asleep like a baby." Leon Said.

Leon looks like he's having so much fun with Aldi. So I let them and made breakfast for both of us. They still seemed to be chatting like two good friends until Leon was finally called by his teacher to do his morning duties.

I was comforted to see my son having fun with Aldi and now I have to adapt to Mr. Erfandi's attitude of giving Leon a task. Even though I still think that Leon is too young and he should be playing and having fun like any other kid his age. At the same time, perhaps Mr. Erfandi is not wrong. Aldi probably followed the same rules first and now it's Leon's turn.

"Huh look who I saw blocking my way."

A familiar and annoying voice ripped me out of my mind. I don't even know when he came into the living room. But just by hearing his voice, it felt really annoying. Since I was already unhappy, I ignored her and walked away from my seat. But he pulled me back.

"Where do you think you're going ******?" Said to me.

"I don't want to talk to shitty people like you. So please find someone else who can play with you." My speech.

"Don't you dare ignore me stupid waitress." Her speech.

He aggressively pulled me and I almost fell on the floor. Luckily I didn't fall, but I felt pain in my elbow from falling on the wall.

"Hiss... What's your problem?" My scream.

"What's my problem? Don't you know what's going on with all this?"

How do I know what's wrong with him? The first time I met him, we started arguing and I argued with him out of jealousy over his relationship with Aldi. However, today everything is different because no matter what, I will try to avoid the quarrel between us because he keeps making trouble between me and him.

"Listen to me Miss Trouble-seeker. I don't want to fight you or even make trouble with you. But if you keep causing me trouble, then don't blame me for being a bad wolf." My speech.

"Hey lady ******! How dare you talk to me like that." Her speech.

I ignored his words and walked towards the stairs. But he followed me and made more and more trouble by holding my hand and pulling me down.

"Remove your hands from me Sarah." My speech.

"What if I don't want to? What are you gonna do? Now you're gonna make a mistake for harming me." Her speech.

"What?" I started to understand what was going on.

Sarah let go of my hand and everything happened so fast. But the first sight if someone sees this is that they can blame me for him falling.

Now I understand what he means. But I understand much better what he's doing right when Aldi arrives.

"What direction is going on? Are you hurt?" Said Aldi sounded so worried about Sarah's condition.

"I'm just asking him about you. But he. he pushed me without any reason." Said Sarah.

My eyes widened as I heard what Sarah said. She really caused me trouble and blamed me for her falling. At that moment, I didn't care if others believed his words. I just hope Aldi won't believe it.

"That's all a lie. I didn't push him." I was trying to explain myself.

But all of that seems useless.

"Aldi is sick." Sarah said in a voice that sounded like she was dying.

But I was afraid of the expression on Aldi's face. He didn't say anything, but I can guess that he believed in Sarah and not me. I should have known about it since. Aldi could never believe me.

Aldi then asked Aunt Ana to call the doctor and she took Sarah upstairs and let me guess, she must have taken her to her room.

'Why can't he trust me? Why would he believe that I pushed that woman?'

I felt my tears I could not stand anymore and I could do nothing but cry.

Seriate....
