Genius Son My name is Aji

Genius Son My name is Aji
Mommy Diyah


Mami Rossa walked to her shop in the Mall which was always crowded with visitors. He did not like to call his shop a boutique because he did not accept orders for clothes or the like for customers. Whereas boutiques, identical to the clothes orders with complicated details and different from each other so as not to be the same or twin when used by the customer.


Mami Rossa's store only sells branded clothes with high quality and also affordable prices for the upper class. But people also know if there is one more store that he has, and sells expensive clothes but still affordable for all people. The shop is in the Mall downstairs. There are employees who take care of him but he rarely stopped by and looked at him. There are staff who usually take care of and report all sales and purchase activities of the goods they sell. Mami Rossa only knew from their reports, just like the store entrusted to mbak Diyah.


"Siang," said Mami Rossa as soon as she walked into the store.


"Siang Mami" replied the employees.


"Where's he?" mami Rossa asked because she didn't see Diyah.


"After mami. Just finished eating his kayak" replied one of them.


"Yes, my mom went straight back Please take good care of ya!" mami Rossa gave a message to her employees.


All are obedient. Mami Rossa again stepped towards the back, where the rest room and bathroom were located.


"Eh, Mami Rossa!" diyah was shocked when she just came out of the bathroom.


"Yes. Mami wants there to be a little need with you this," replied mami Rossa saying her intention.


Mbak Diyah frowned confusedly. He felt he had done nothing wrong or was late in reporting the store opening. Mbak Diyah looked a little worried if there was something he did not intentionally, then it became a mistake that he did without him noticing.


"Don't be confused. It's not a shop business" Mami Rossa explained.


Mbak Diyah even more confused with the words mami Rossa. "If it's not the store's business, then what?" mbak Diyah wondered.


"We're talking in the break room!" Mami Rossa invited Mbak Diyah to go into the room and talk there.


"You know Cilla to what extent?" mami Rossa asked after the two sat down on the chair in the rest room.


"Cilla. What happened to Cilla Mi? Why did you suddenly ask about Cilla?" ask me Diyah was shocked. She instead answered Mom Rossa's question but asked back.


"Jawab only Diyah," said mami Rossa.


"Eh sorry Mi. Diyah was just shocked, why did Mami suddenly ask about Cilla. Whereas in the past, when Cilla was still working in this store, my mother never wondered this kind of thing. Mami never interfere in the personal affairs of the employees, it's asau Diyah Mi."


Mami Rossa let out a long sigh and closed her eyes. He remembers saying that to all his employees. Prayer is a person who does not like to interfere in the affairs of others. But this concerns his son, Gilang. Cilla is the one whom I will marry later. There is also Aji. Mami Rossa just wants to know, who Cilla really is, not intend to investigate with the aim to reject it. That's not the right reason. He just wanted to know, why the incident that night could happen just like that and Cilla had no intention to sue Gilang. Especially after the incident that night, Cilla was pregnant. But why did she choose to shut up and raise Aji herself. What is it with the Cilla family?


*****


POVs of Diyah.


I knew Cilla when she applied for a job at the store where I worked. I've been his senior for over a year. I was assigned to help Cilla, getting to know some of the usual work done in the store. I also taught her to memorize the types of clothes and the price as well.


Cilla who is too young in my opinion, although when applying for a job he admitted if he was twenty years old, including a girl who was quick to respond. He easily accepted everything I taught him. He is also quick to adjust, easily familiar with the other employees as well.


I often heard Cilla ask the boss for overtime at that time. He needed money to treat his sick and paralyzed father. I often accompany him at lunch and rest. But he did not believe too much just with new people and told the problem.


A few months later, Cilla collapsed when the store was not open and was still cleaning. Me and some friends took him to the clinic at the Mall. From the doctor, I know if Cilla's pregnant. Of course I'm surprised. I think she's pregnant with her boyfriend. But when I asked, she said that she didn't have a boyfriend. Cilla also did not want to tell who the father of the baby he was carrying at that time.


Every day Cilla became a warm conversation and gossip material among friends, even employees outside the store also talked about it a lot. Whether the pregnancy was in the month to what, Cilla's father died when he found out if Cilla was pregnant and it is not known who impregnated her. A few days after her father died, Cilla was evicted by the residents and her mother. His mother was a stepmother, and managed to incite the citizens to hate Cilla.


Cilla came to the store in a mess. He just brought a bag with some clothes and asked me for help to find a boarding room.


I felt sorry for her and invited her to sleep at home. But for comfort and to stay away from the neighbor's rumors about Cilla, I helped her find a cheap rented house.


Finally I found a pretty good rental house although not big but the price can be affordable if Cilla still works in the store owned by Mami Rossa.


For a few months before she gave birth, I helped her pay for the rented house until she gave birth. I think she would need a lot of money for the cost of giving birth later.


Cilla actually refused, but I said if the money was considered debt only. So he can return when he already has the money later. End Cilla agreed and asked to stop in the meantime when the age of the womb is almost the time. She came back to work when her son was four months old and I was raised by Rossa's mom to be an SPV at the store. SPV was previously asked to manage the store on the bottom floor of this Mall as well.


I certainly received Cilla back. Moreover, he is indeed a diligent and flexible employee when serving customers.


So I don't know much about Cilla and her personal life. I was just helping him as a friend.
