Since You Married Me
Al Missed Mama

Aaron entered his house in a hurry, and with half a run he climbed the stairs of the upper floor. Earlier during a meeting with a client, Aaron received a phone call from Albern's nanny if the boy was suddenly unconscious.

Soon Aaron left the meeting worth millions of dollars, then hurried home.

Albern's babysitter said that Albern had been treated by a family doctor. But still Aaron was worried before ascertaining the state of his son himself.

Albern is very rarely ill, which is why Aaron is so panicked right now.

Aaron opens the door to Albern's room with a hunting breath. The doctor had finished examining Albern. Asma and Farah, Albern's nanny, were standing by Albern's bedside.

"How is he doing?" asked Aaron to the doctor worriedly.

The doctor bowed slightly, then smiled faintly.

"Young Master it's okay, Mr. Aaron. Just a little tired. I've been giving the heat-lowering drugs, so now just rest for his health to recover quickly." The doctor explained.

Aaron looked relieved. She saw that Albern had also regained consciousness and opened his eyes. It was just that the boy's gaze looked a little faint, not sparkling as usual.

"Then excuse me, Mr. Aaron. I've also left the vitamins to the young master's nanny. Don't forget to give it to Young Master later." the Doctor's message. He bowed respectfully to Aaron before leaving the room.

Before long, Ms. Asma also resigned.

Now Farah was alone standing in front of Aaron with his face down. Farah seemed to feel scared because she accidentally made Albern sick. He felt he was neglecting to do his duty. I don't know if Aaron will fire him after this. Farah hoped that would not happen.

"What's going on?" ask Aaron later.

Farah raised her face.

"So when Young Master came home was still fine, Master. But then all of a sudden the Young Master complained of dizziness and unconsciousness." replied Farah in a fearful tone.

Aaron took a breath.

"alright. You can go." he said later.

Farah bowed respectfully, then left the place.

Aaron and Albern are there. Slowly Aaron approached Albern and sat down on the side of the boy's bed.

"Is it still dizzy?" ask her then in a soft tone.

Albern nodded weakly.

"Little." she replied slowly.

Aaron smiled as he rubbed the heads of Albern fondly.

"Sleep.... Later Papa will ask Grandma to reschedule your activities so as not to be too crowded. You must be tired of learning." said Aaron.

This time Albern just kept quiet and did not answer. His eyes were bright and then a little glaring.

"Don't you miss Mama?" asked Albern suddenly.

Aaron was stunned to hear the question from Albern. His body suddenly froze.

"Why ask such a question?" ask Aaron later. As much as possible, a strange feeling suddenly filled his chest cavity.

Albern did not answer. His eyes seemed to start to glaze over.

"Al misses Mama.." he muttered then in a soft voice. Very slow, until it sounds more like a whisper.

But Aaron's ears felt very sharp and could hear it clearly.

Aaron stared for a while, not knowing what to answer.

"Al miss Mama?" reassured. Albern agreed with a weak nod. Her innocent face at this moment really filled anyone who saw her.

"Then Al thought Mama would never leave here. Hence Al obeyed all Grandma's words. Al keeps learning to be smarter to make Mama proud."

"But it turns out Mama's gone.... Al can't see Mama anymore. If Al had known Mama wasn't here forever, Al wouldn't have been so obedient to Grandma. Al will play with Mama and not learn too much."

Aaron's stuck. He did not expect that behind his indifference to Zaya all this time, it turns out that this son harbors deep feelings for the mother.

Aaron thought that since Zaya was not directly involved in managing Albern, there was no emotional closeness between his ex-wife and Albern. It seems Aaron forgot the term blood is thicker than water.

He grossly underestimated the bond between Zaya and her son. Between mother and child, however, will definitely be bound to each other. And now he has become the most cruel person because he has separated a pair of mothers and children who love each other.

Aaron breathed in guiltily.

The more regret it gets now. Even his beloved son is now bearing the pain of the foolish decision he made. Somehow he had to fix all this.

Aaron's heart was really sliced knowing his son was sick not from fatigue as the doctor had said. But he was sick with the sadness of having to separate from the Mother and with all his might held back his longing.

Aaron really feels like the jerkiest guy right now. In addition to hurting Zaya a lot, now she has also hurt Albern. What else can he be proud of. The people closest to him suffer because of themselves.

"I'm sorry, Papa, honey." she said later.

"Rest. Later when Al is healed, Papa will invite Al to see Mama." he persuaded.

Albern nodded.

"Can Al sleep with Mama?" ask again.

Aaron paused for a moment, then nodded.

"Of course." she replied with a smile.

"Papa didn't lie, did he?" Albern was reassured.

Aaron knitted his eyebrows together.

"Does your son not believe in Papa anymore?" tanyanya pretended to be angry.

"Al believe. But it had to be a promise like this" Albern hooked his little finger on Aaron's little finger.

Aaron could only pay attention to what Albern was doing.

"Now his promise is locked. Papa can't deny it, yeah. Later can be cursed." said Albern again.

Aaron's eyes were slightly rounded. Never before had he heard this son say such strange things.

"Who said that?" asked Aaron curiously.

"Say Al himself." replied the boy.

Aaron is confused.

"Al promised to wear pinkie like this with Al's friend, but then Al forgot and couldn't keep it. And now Al is cursed.... Mama Al is gone." Albern said innocently.

Aaron felt overwhelmed again. Even Albern considers his current state to be a curse. If Albern had known Aaron himself had created this curse, would this little boy have hated himself?

Aaron smiled with irony.

"Makanya Papa can not break the promise yes, so as not to be cursed." added Albern again.

Aaron then nodded.

"alright. Papa will not break his promise. Now better get Papa's champ to rest. Get well soon, then we'll meet Mama."

Albern nodded excitedly. He closed his eyes and looked at a smile.

Aaron again rubbed the tip of Albern's head while looking at him softly.

'Forgive me, Son. It's all Papa's fault. Papa made your mother go away. Papa promised he would try to find a way to get us together again. But it doesn't seem like it's going to be easy.'

Seriate....
