Genius Son My name is Aji
Want to Know More

Gilang looked at Cilla with a keen eye, probing. But Cilla pretended not to know and did not know who Gilang was.

"Sorry Mami. This is Cilla's son. He was with Cilla at work, because we both came home from seeing a new house. Cilla thought, if you want to go home first, Cilla could be late to work. Finally Cilla brought him here, and asked him to stay in the rest room."

Cilla explained in a trembling voice. He must have been afraid and also anxious about his fate. 'Am I going to be fired?' ask Cilla in heart.

"Oh... Your child likes to play marbles yes, red again. Just like the children of Mami, Gilang as a child also likes red marbles."

My mother told me about her adult son. Gilang looked at Cilla without blinking. He remembered Cilla from the fragrant perfume she wore. Not expensive perfume like most of the classy girls wear but the distinctive aroma makes Gilang can not forget it.

Cilla who was aware if noticed by Gilang pretended not to know. She smiled at my mom's story. 'So he's mami's son. And I work here, in the business of her mother!' Cilla complained in her heart. He became anxious and also afraid that everything would be revealed.

"Mama why?" ask Aji. He saw the pale look on his mother's face, as if she was in pain.

"It's okay, dear" replied Cilla with an awkward smile.

"You already have a child? Meaning, when you stopped for a while for giving birth to Aji?" mami asked to know.

Cilla simply nodded in response. He could not easily make his voice. He was like a person who was suffocating and could not speak freely.

Gilang continued to pay attention to everything that was on Cilla. He closed his eyes for a moment while inhaling the scent of Cilla's perfume. The scent she had once been looking for some time later, after the incident that night.

'I'm sure of my smell. It smells the same as that night!'

"Deliver. Mom wants to try on a dress first. Mami hasn't finished trying, yow you first, whither!" pamit mami Rossa to her son, Gilang, then stepped out of the rest room of the store.

Gilang did not answer his mother. He just nodded without taking his eyes off Cilla.

Cilla who is aware if he is noticed, so not tasty and wrong. She wants to get out of the room to catch up with Mami Rossa. But instead his son, Aji calls himself.

"Ma. Aji hungry. Can you come out and find a burger?" ask Aji for permission.

"Ep... But my mom still works, baby. Soon, the shop will be closed. We'll find each other later!"

"Let's be with me, Yuk Aji! We're looking for a big burger!" take Gilang to Aji. He seemed excited once he got a chance to get close to Aji. He wanted to ask and wanted to know more about the two of them, Cilla and also Aji.

"Ma," call Aji to her mother. He asked for permission whether he was allowed to come with Gilang or not with his eye gesture.

Cilla was confused as to what to answer. He hesitated to make his voice.

"It's okay. Om not a bad guy. If Om's a bad guy, your mama must have called the police earlier, right?"

Gilang stood up from his seat and walked towards Cilla. He re-sucked the scent of Cilla perfume. "The perfume hasn't changed, it's still the same. Garden aroma, Lilac."

Cilla was stunned for a moment to hear Gilang's words. He did not expect that Gilang recognized him so quickly, just because of the perfume and not from Cilla's face. And about calling the police, what does Gilang mean?

"Ma," called Aji again while shaking her mother's hand.

"Eh, yes, yes, you can!" cilla replied nervously. He felt uncomfortable with Gilang's current existence.

After the two, Gilang and also Aji, go to look for the burger, according to Aji's wishes, Cilla took a deep breath several times. He did not expect that all this time, he had been in the environment of people that he did not want to meet again for the rest of his life. She is not aware that this shop, Mami Rossa is part of that man, Gilang Aji Saka. Owner of GAS!

"She likes burgers?" ask Gilang while looking at Aji who is enjoying the typical German food.

"Lho, it's Germany. Not America, is it?" tanya Gilang was confused.

"not Om. Burger from Germany is not American. You know, you don't like to read the Internet, do you?"

She was shocked by Aji's response. He did not expect that this little boy he had just met was smart and unlike children in general.

"Do you like to play games if you are holding a mobile phone?" tanya Gilang wanted to know.

"Yes read, yeah play. Learn yes, play yes."

Aji answered Gilang's question in an unusual way. Gilang shakes his head to hear Aji's reply, who is like a politician, when he asks for the support of the citizens.

"Aji's father what's his name?" tanya Gilang probing.

"Aji," replied Aji shortly.

"Kok Aji?" tanya Gilang felt strange.

"Yes is Aji. That's what mom said."

"Where's the job?" tanya Gilang was getting curious.

"Don't know. Said mama far away.." replied Aji imitating her mother's speech.

"Distant? Did Aji ever meet?" Gilang was sure, there was something that Cilla had hidden in this child.

"No," Aji replied without any suspicion.

"Have you ever seen a picture of Papa Aji?" tanya Gilang was getting more convinced.

Aji nodded slowly. He never knew and never saw his father. He did not dare to ask his mother. Aji did not want her mother to be sad if she asked about her papa.

"Oh that's it..." Glad nodded his head understanding. She was more and more convinced by what she was thinking when she saw Aji and Cilla today.

"Huh..why now I'm coming with Mami to the store. Try it a long time ago, I must have known from a long time ago too right!" Gilang grumbled to himself with a soft voice.

"Eh, but what's her name taken from my middle name? She knows where my name is?" Gilang kept thinking about all things related to Cilla and also aji.

"I have to ask Cilla. If my guess is correct, I don't care about anything anymore. I should be able to get both!"

"Oms. By the way, what?" asked Aji who could not hear Gilang's voice indistinctly.

"Oh, it's okay. Are you done eating? Do you want a pack to take home?" tanya Gilang offered.

"Gak Om. This is enough. Aji's full!" Aji replied with a radiant and glowing face. He was comfortable with this man who was nearby. Aji also did not know why, but she felt a different feeling towards this person she just met.

"Yes already then. Come back to the store. Maybe it's closed now!" Gilang invites Aji to return to the store again.

After a while, the shop was almost closed. Mami Rossa immediately said to go home first to all her employees, "Mommy goes home first, everyone..."

Gilang who walked deliberately past the place where Cilla was was immediately whispered softly, "You can't run away from me!"
