The After One Night Mistake

The After One Night Mistake
Return of old wounds


Aina's eyes barely flickered, her body stiffened and her pink lips clenched mute. Seeing El Barack for the first time after four years, made his heart wound gaping again, the pain until the struggle in difficult times again imagined in Aina's mind.

Back to four years ago...


When Aina's gestational age had entered four months, the suffering reached its peak. Going away from family did not make him avoid problems.


"Go from here, I can't contract this house again to a woman like you!" A middle-aged woman threw all of Aina's belongings out of the terrace.


"That bet, this woman could have brought disgrace to our place. Pregnant but no husband? Really, you think we're stupid, you're pregnant with an illegitimate child, right?"


"Go, sana!" A man was inhuman, pushing Aina's back to get out of the house immediately. There was not the slightest bit of pity from the look on the faces of those people.


Aina's cry broke, yet she was helpless. Throwing himself into a corner of the city, he still received inappropriate treatment. Sometimes he thinks whether the universe doesn't want him anymore.


There was no defense that Aina could convey. He picked up all his belongings while continuing to cry silently. His frail feet retraced a step, going far and further.


I don't know where, he doesn't know. Savings from the results of working in the Rich Group began to thin out. His steps stopped when a stop was in front of the alley. He was sitting limp there staring at the night sky with a faint look.


"If I have no hope for happiness, I want to meet Mom and Dad. The world is cruel." He turned to look towards the highway. Look at all the vehicles passing by.


Slowly he stood up from his position, stepping straight ahead with a blank look and unceasing tears streaming down. Dad, Mum. I miss you, wait for me to come, her mind.


Aina's steps came to a halt right in the middle of the highway, she closed her eyes as she felt the glare from the truck lights speeding by not far from her. Forgive Mama dear, let's go, her inner.


The truck was getting closer, Aina as if she was ready to put an end to the suffering. However, the next second Aina's body felt pulled by someone, she immediately opened her eyes, staring at a woman who was looking at her in annoyance.


"You're crazy!" The expression on the woman's face immediately turned sour, she hugged Aina tightly. "Ai, why are you like this, I'm looking for you everywhere, what's going on?"


"I'm tired .. very tired, Yuna." Aina again sobbed in the arms **** friend. Yes, Ayuna Anandita, her best friend since High School. They also work at the same company.


Aina did not want to burden anyone, be it her family and also her best friend. But after four months had passed, the universe sent Yuna to help her through all of this.

"Don't, you have to hold me accountable!" Yuna who had been sitting before Aina immediately stood up from her sitting position. "I'm going to Alexander's house tonight."


Aina pulled the end of Yuna's shirt, leading her back to sit on the sofa. "Free, Yuna. Already I don't want to add to the problem, at the moment the family is in big trouble and Mr. El ... he went to Melbourne right?"


Yuna's breath sounded soft. "You're right too. You should have told me from the beginning, Ai. We can abort the boy, what's your future?" Yuna's voice rang out trembling, she covered her face with both hands.


"No way!" Cut Yuna. "You must rise, Ai. I'll never leave you, I'm sure there's a way out for all this trouble."


Aina tried to smile even though her chest felt so tight. He regretted thinking about ending his life. Amidst the people who continued to corner him, it turned out that there was still someone so good like Yuna.


"Hm, thank you. Then can you help me find a safe place to live? If it could be far from the city center."


From then on, Aina tried to build a dream on the pain she had bitterly swallowed. And from then on, he never again set foot in the center of the city. He secluded himself as a fringe person, looking for change for a dime by selling food.

Aina immediately shook her head as the mass memory continued to twist. He turned to look at the son who kept looking at El Barack. "Al, go in first, baby. Mama wants to talk to this o'm."


"Oce, Ma." Before entering, Al still had a sharp glance in the direction of the tall man. "Om, here's the hell, serem," he murmured and then stepped inside the house.


"Omm?" El Barack looked at Aina in disbelief. Of course he wanted to be introduced as a father, he was very sure that Alvian was his son. "Hey is that how you introduced me to her?"


Boril tried to hold back his laughter, he thought Aina would be frightened when she saw El Barack but it turned out that she was wrong. During these four years, Aina had already pretty much gone through the hard stuff to forge her into a woman who dared to face problems.


While holding hands, Aina looked back at El Barack. "Are you ready? Long time no see, sir. I don't know what it means to come here for but ...." Aina tried to stay strong even though her chest started to feel tight. "But I can't allow you to visit .. My husband is not home."


"Husband?" El Barack glanced at Boril. He was sure the assistant couldn't possibly be misinformed. Because Boril had been watching Aina for a long time. He looked back at the woman while squinting his eyes. "Do you have a husband?"


"Yes that's it. Sorry please go." Aina immediately turned around, stepped towards the door and immediately entered. But just as he was about to close the door, El Barack suddenly slipped in, pushing Aina's body into the wall.


Aina looked panicked as her body flanked and both her hands were tightly clutched by El Barack. "What are you doing, let go of me!"


El Barack's two hands pressed against Aina's wrists. "Four years passed and I knew nothing about what happened that night. Do you think it's that easy I'll let you go? No, Ai. That little boy is my son, isn't he?"


Aina pushed firmly, until she could finally break away. "What do you really want?! I demand nothing and will not bother you. Let me live a quiet life with my son, he's just my son, not our son!"


"Aina!" El Barack exclaimed, he again approached Aina, looking at the woman with his eagle eyes. "He's my son. I have a right to that. Pack your things and come with me back to town. We're getting married today."


"A-what ... You must have gone mad." Aina seemed inexhaustible with the words of El Barack.


While out there, precisely on the simple terrace of the residence, Boril massaged his forehead which suddenly felt dizzy. Why did Mr. El suddenly think of getting Miss Ai married. Basic br*nsek, not like it's a good way to propose, inner Boril.
