The Shackles of Love Papa Lift Me
Chapter 21. Bittersweet again

...🍀🍀🍀...

"You're always telling me that love doesn't see who we're going to fall in love with. What he looks like, what age he is, or what kind of person he's in love with."

"Yes that's right, Ai." Cleo confirmed her own words the other day to Aileen about love. Although he himself is not sure he loves his lover.

"Then is my love for Papa wrong, Cleo?" aileen asked as she stared at Cleo softly.

"No! Love is never wrong and love never knows where our hearts will be anchored. I'm sorry Ai, I was angry with you.I was just shocked and did not expect that you would fall in love with your Papa." said Cleo explained about his attitude that had been emotional on Aileen.

"Yes, it's okay.I get it, it's just... Papa always rejected me, papa loves that witch very much." Aileen hugged Cleo as if the hug was her mother's embrace. Cleo patted Aileen on the back and tried to calm her down. "So, how do you want? Want to go back to Singapore?"

"Yes, after my apprenticeship is finished in papa's office. Maybe this week, I will return to Singapore and work there, maybe I will stay there" said Aileen confident in her decision.

While he was calming down, suddenly Aileen's phone rang. He thinks Leon contacted him but his guess is wrong. "Om Bram?"

Aileen picked up the phone from her father's confidant. "Hello om,"

"Hello Aileen, where are you?" ask Bram in a hurry.

"I'm at a friend's house, why?" aileen asked in surprise, Bram doesn't usually call her.

"Papa nanyain you, he drunk heavily.please come here yes. If you don't come here maybe your Papa will hurt himself." explained Bram from behind the phone.

"Yes Ai, have Frans pick you up at Cleo's apartment. You're ready to go home, you're the only one who can calm this stubborn papa!" bram said it was like being uncomfortable with something. Yes, he was uncomfortable with Leon who kept rummaging and random shuffling things in his house.

Without the consent of both parties, Aileen turned off her phone first. Then she put on her sweater jacket and prepared to go out of Cleo's apartment. "Are you sure you want to go? Didn't you say you wanted to give up?" asked Cleo worriedly.

"Nyerah does not mean I do not care.I still care for Papa, regardless of my love for him. Papa was the one who took care of me from childhood, Cle."

"Okay well, be careful." Cleo could do nothing but support Aileen. But he also knew the consequences if his best friend was named by his Papa. There will be a lot of controversy and people's opinions will also be questioned later.

Aileen returned home with Frans, the girl was very worried about Leon's situation. Never had Leon been drunk like this, he was afraid that Alcohol would assume Leon's health. He even asked Frans to speed home to quickly arrive.

A few minutes later, Aileen arrived at her house and saw a pink car parked there. He glanced at her and thought whose car it was. But he did not heed it, more important his father used to be for now.

Aileen walked up the stairs to her papa's room. He saw the door of his father's room open wide. With an anxious and pounding heart, he stepped inside the room. But his steps stopped when he saw and heard things he should not have heard.

"Akhc...Honey stop, you're drunk honey... Aakhh.." the sighing voice of a woman so hurt Aileen.

Her tears also shed when she saw Celia on top of her papa's body and Leon with the position of Celia's clothes that had sagged showing her twin assets.
