Loving My Husband's Son

Nilam looked towards the window with his mind so empty. He keeps remembering his past. A past he kept in mind for the past 3 years. But he couldn't let go of his past.

After breaking up from Aldi which is not his desire, he thought that avoiding Aldi would help him to move on. But it all turned around than he wanted, because fate was still playing with him.

The man she was trying to forget and ran away from her, was now instead her stepson. Was it an accident or was it fate for Nilam? He can't say anything because everything looks the same to him.

Aldi is his love and now he is his stepson and there is nothing he can do to change that, not now or later. Nilam's destiny is locked and he is bound to not be able to live happily in his life, because for a very long time he has accepted his destiny which always lives sad. She is not the Cinderella type.

Nilam looked towards a ring that was so beautiful with a blue diamond as his eyes. It was the ring given to him by Aldi 3 years ago. But Nilam felt so sad that the request Aldi gave him that day could not come true.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

Nilam woke up from his daydream after hearing a knock on the door. So he quickly hid the ring and wiped the tears that had fallen onto his face. If it wasn't for that knock on the door, he probably wouldn't have realized that he'd been crying all along.

"Yes, please come in." Nilam finally said.

A woman with brown hair tied into Nilam's room.

"Mrs Young..." Said the woman.

"Yes Bi Ani? Is there a problem?" Ask Nilam.

"Eat dinner in a minute. Are we going to start setting up the table?" Ask Aunt Ani.

"Oh yeah, I'll come to help." Reply Nilam.

"Oh no Young Madam. Madam should have let us do it. The Madam had been working all day to prepare everything for the arrival of the Young Master. So the madam has to let us do it. Besides, Madam also just recovered from her illness. It would be best if Madam rested and let us do everything." Said Aunt Ani.

"It's okay Aunt Ani. I want to keep myself busy. Leon's still asleep so I..."

"Mrs should stay on rest. I came just to say that to Madam. That's all." Said the woman.

"I'd really like to help. Aunt Ani, let's do it all together. It'll be more fun." Nilam smiled as he held Aunt Ani's hand.

Since the day Nilam set foot in the house of the Erfandi family, Aunt Ani has become like a mother to Nilam. Of course Nilam was also very friendly with the other servants. But he also knew that he could not be loved by everyone.

...****************...

At the same time, Aldi was staring at a picture of Nilam that he took 3 years ago. There are a lot of photos that Aldi wants to delete. But it all felt very difficult for him. At a time like this, he could not realize how he felt for Nilam. Whether it's hate, love disgust, or any other feeling he can't explain.

"I will never leave you. I love you Aldi..."

Aldi's brows seemed to shrivel as he again heard that voice in his mind that sounded like a song. Then he got angry and threw the photo in his hand.

"Liar...." Shouted Aldi to himself and tried to erase all the painful memories that seemed to be hunting him down.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

"Who's there?" Shouted Aldi angrily to the person who was knocking on the door of his room.

It made the person behind the door look surprised at the screams from him.

"This is. This is my Young Master. Papa's... Your papa and Young Madam are waiting for your arrival in the dining room for dinner together." Said the waiter to Aldi.

"But Young Master, you...."

"I said go." Shouted Aldi once again which made the waiter immediately run after he was snapped by Aldi.

The waiter immediately reported everything to Papa Aldi who was sitting at the dining table with Nilam. Nilam was relieved then because he was still sad about Aldi. Aldi took a long journey to get home and it is possible that he was starving. But because of his unwanted presence, Aldi had to skip his dinner.

Papa Aldi looked to sigh.

"This is my son." Papa Aldi said to Nilam.

"I'm sorry Mr. Erfandi, it's my fault." Nilam.

"You don't have to apologize. I should have realized this. It's okay if Aldi doesn't like you now. I believe that you two will be able to get better later." Papa Aldi smiled at Nilam.

Nilam could not help himself not to return Papa Aldi's smile.

Nilam never had any feelings for the man he was married to. But because Papa Aldi always appreciates and takes care of himself more than a family, Nilam also gives respect to Papa Aldi.

Nilam could not have told Papa Aldi that Aldi and himself had a relationship 3 years ago even Aldi himself could not dare to admit it. Not because he values the memory of their past or appreciates his Papa but because Aldi must be disgusted with it. Everything feels very sad, but Nilam must realize the reality now that Aldi really hates him.

"You should have eaten more. You lost your weight these few days. Of course it won't be good if you get sick again." Said Papa Aldi to Nilam.

"Yes certainly Mr. Erfandi." Reply Nilam.

But Nilam has no appetite today. Even so in honor of Papa Aldi, Nilam tried to eat more even though his stomach actually refused to do so.

"Nilam, you need to bring something to Aldi's room. He hasn't eaten and I don't want him to sleep on an empty stomach." Papa Aldi.

"Isn't it better to send someone else. You know that your son doesn't like me." Say it sadly.

"I know, but that's a good chance for you to start getting close to him. It may take some time, but you should start trying at any time. Please be a good girl and do my wish." Papa Aldi.

"Sure Mr. Erfandi." Reply Nilam.

"Good, I'll be in my room if you need anything." Papa Aldi said again.

Papa Aldi then left Nilam with a heavy duty. But anyway, Nilam had to do just that. He went to the kitchen and made pudding for Aldi.

Nilam realized that the clock had shown at 10:00 p.m. So Aldi won't eat anything else. So pudding will always be better for Aldi. Nilam made the same pudding that Aldi had always liked in the past and Nilam served it in a small bowl. Then he put it on a tray with a glass of water.

It took enough courage for Nilam to knock on Aldi's door. But after knocking on the door for a while, there was still no reply from within. So Nilam just went into Aldi's room.

"Al's.... Aldi, your Papa asked me to bring you dinner. I'm gonna put it on this table." Nilam.

Actually he looked around, but he was so lucky that Aldi was not there for a while because he was heard in the bathroom because Nilam could hear the sound of the shower. So Nilam quickly put the pudding on the table and he held the doorknob to get out of Aldi's room.

"What are you doing here?"

Nilam widened and immediately froze in his position for a while after hearing Aldi's voice talking from behind him.

'How now?' think Nilam.

Seriate....
