Sweetest Scandal
The arrival of Sika

Aileen tried to act ordinary, although her heart still rumbled because of the curious reason Sika came to the apartment.

An hour later, she returned and Sika was in the apartment, but she remained silent. Even Aileen's arrival only got a glance.

"Ma!"

Aileen stopped Sika who was about to go to the kitchen. The middle-aged woman turned her head and looked at him fixedly. A look that never changed long ago and not until when.

"Mom want something?" asked Aileen who was feeling awkward. Sika did not reply and chose to ignore Aileen just like that.

Aileen sighed softly and then moved back to the room. However, Sika's call made her turn around and approach.

"Mom need something?" ask Aileen spirit.

"Make me an omelette!" answer Sika ketus. "Why? Mind it? You asked me, right?"

Aileen shook her head weakly. He then went to Sika's request. "I'll make Mama omelette. As usual, right?"

Sika looked at Aileen's sanctions and cleared her throat. He left Aileen in the kitchen.

"Neng, let Auntie do it!"

"Don't, Bi, I'll just. In any case, just make omelets easy!" aileen said excitedly.

"But, Mas Randu asked Auntie to let Neng Aileen not do hard work!"

Aileen chuckled softly hearing it. He's already heating teflon. "I just stood here for ten minutes. There's no Randu, either, so Auntie don't worry!"

After saying that Aileen chose to focus on making omelets for Sika. A long time ago when they were still living together, Aileen once saw a housekeeper make an omelette for Sika and she tried it. Even Sika ate and praised her homemade omelet. However, after knowing who made the woman immediately vomited it out.

Although Aileen was not good at cooking, but specifically for the food Sika wanted she would try to cook it. All he did was for Sika to accept him as a child.

No more than ten minutes Aileen had finished with all her activities in the kitchen. Not wanting to make Sika wait too long he directly brought the omelet made to Sika who was busy watching.

"I hope you like my cooking!"

Sika just cleared her throat. He seemed to enjoy it, even so he did not say anything.

"I'll go to the room first. If you need anything, you can call me or your aunt!"

"I'm here because I have business with you!" Sika looked at Aileen who looked confused then smiled awkwardly.

Aileen nodded slowly. "Sit down, don't make me look up!"

Aileen complied and sat down across Sika. "You should know about the problem I'm having. I need the money and have to sell the house on your behalf!"

"What to sell, Ma?" Sika snorted annoyedly. "Sorry, but that's papa's last relic!"

"Do you want to see me in trouble for keeping the house?"

"It's not so, Ma. Only I think Ms. Amee would mind. The house in the name of Ma'am Amee and Mama has been sold, we should have retained the remaining property. If the house is sold Mama will live with Ms Amee?"

"Who do you think I'll live with? He's my son, of course he's the one who has to accept me to stay at his house! Who else?" Sika was visibly offended by Aileen's words. "It should be until whenever you have no right to have anything from my husband. Your mother is forced to marry because she is pregnant with you. She's a seductive girl. Just like you are!"

Sika watched Aileen with her sharp gaze.

"You think?"

"But I love Mama. All this time I never for a second could hate Mama who never cared about me, Mama who was rude to me, and always said bad things about me!" Aileen lowered her head trying to hide her teary eyes.

"Don't make me such a bad guy, Aileen! Enough of you and your mama that made my life and Amee ruined, because up to any time I never thought you were a child and you deserved all that!" Sika said in a loud voice.

Aileen still did not dare to look at him. Sika continued her words. "You think you're the only one who's sick here? You're wrong! My son and I suffered the most from this woman's behavior. He came just to snatch my husband and die with your burden on me! Shit!" maki Sika frustrated.

Jemari Aileen was tightly intertwined with each other. Her crying could no longer be hidden. She quickly wiped her tears and looked at Sika who turned out to be turning her face away.

"Sorry, Ma. I shouldn't have mentioned such a thing that makes your wounds never heal. I should have been self-aware of my mother's faults that even her face I don't remember what it looks like!" Sika did not care about what Aileen said.

"Mom can sell the house, I won't stop. I hope with the money from the sale can help Mama."

Sika looked at him deeply. His eyes also look red. "Don't regret it. You should also be able to convince Amee!" Aileen nodded.

Sika stood up and scanned Aileen's body. "Go after giving birth. Don't make Amee continue to suffer because of your presence!" Again Aileen was only able to nod and let Sika go after saying so.

Aileen just sat quietly while watching the unfinished omelet. She came back crying.

Sika's words were right. He should not have felt the most pain because he never got his affection. Sika and Amee suffered the most from him.

Even thanks to Seto, he knew that Amee was depressed.

***

Aileen could not sleep at all. No Randu would also help her to fall asleep so she decided to go for a short walk around the apartment.

Aileen was only wearing a cardigan to protect her body from getting too cold from the night breeze and just carrying her phone.

Without the woman realizing her steps were too far from the apartment. Even he felt his legs feel so sore and swollen. Aileen then chose to sit on the bench not far from her for a short break.

"I used to be this way, right? If you're angry with me and you still don't care, I usually run away from home and into the park!"

Aileen smiled blandly. His smile was not a joy, but a painful feeling.

"Huh, must have been my mother had suffered so much because she always looked at me!" Aileen let out a rough breath while looking at the night sky. He chose to continue his journey.

Just a few meters away he walked, two drunk men came to him. The two did not let Aileen go and continued teasing her.

"Don't be afraid, honey. Come with us!" The two men each held Aileen's hand to pull her over while laughing.

Aileen insisted on defending herself by constantly asking for help, for fear that anyone would hear one of them smothering Aileen's mouth.

Aileen kept trying to rebel until she felt weak and dizzy. "We're gonna have fun, honey!" said the man who still had him.

Aileen shakes. The rough gust of his breath on his nape made Aileen even more frightened. However, not long ago the man who had smothered him fell down.

Aileen could not see clearly, but all she knew was a bunch of little kids beating up the two drunk men and one of them Aileen knew.

Before his consciousness disappeared, Aileen called out her name softly, "Faiz!"
