Aria

"Have a nice day Sir." I bid goodbye to my customer.

I worked at this Cafe for 2 years already. I have loyal customer and sometimes they give me some tips.

I am a adopted daughter and my foster dad died because of the accident he caused and leaving me all his debts. All the people run after me that's why I am working smarter than harder. Double Jobs, Side lines, etc. I know I am strong enough to surpass these experiences. I paid the other completely, $500,000 is the last debt I need to pay. My salary is not enough to pay for it but like I said smarter than harder. I will work different jobs. Life is too short just to kill myself for the debts.

I live in a small apartment wherein their is one room  kitchen and bedroom are in there already and small bathroom. It is enough for me.

It's already 5pm and I am ready to tutor Lily in math. She is Mrs. Hermosa daughter, and asks me just for one day. She is my loyal customer in the cafe usually come here with her daughter. She is two years younger than me.

"I am going Brent. Bye and see tomorrow." I bid goodbye to Brent my friend here in the cafe.

"Bye, A" Brent said waving at me. He used to call me A because for him Aria is too long. Weird right.

I took a bus to go there and walked a little to reach my destination. Mrs. Hermosa didn't inform me about the details of the house but looking at my surrounding all the houses are mansions.

I started walking again but the guard blocked me. Making me frown.

"You are new here. Name?" The guard asks. I know what he meant asking for the owner name. I never knew Mrs. Hermosa is this rich. Just by looking at her you will see a goddess, simple, and beautiful girl--and yeah so down to earth.

"Mrs. Hermosa." I said politely.

"Wait a second." The guard pick up the telephone and dial something.

"Your name?" He said raising an eyebrow to me. Like I am going to steal some things here.

He looked at me up and down with a smirk on his face.

"A..Aria Bright" I stuttered. I really want to punch his face now but me controlling myself. I need to behave.

Honestly, I can't punch--slap is better.

After a minute the guard escort me to Mrs. Hermosa house. I thanked him. This mansion is really big. There is a swimming pool. I can see it from afar just by looking at the bar holes.

I pressed the doorbell and a maid greeted me. Me, being polite, I greet her back. She guide me to a beautiful and luxurious living room.

Wow.... I never seen and got into house like this. It's beautiful.

"Aria." Mrs. Hermosa squeal, running into me, giving me a tight hug.

"Mrs..er....ermmm Leticia." I said stuttering. I--I can't breath. I forgot she don't want me to called her Mrs. Hermosa.

She pulled out after a second. Catching my breath.

"Oops. Sorry." She chuckled.

"Lily is there" Leticia pointing to Lily with a baby boy at her side. "That's my 1 year old nephew. Luke" pointing to the baby.

I nod. The baby is so cute. I can see, he has a blue eyes.

"They are so cute" I said in a exciting voice.

"They are. You can hold Luke for a while I am just gonna asks some maid to prepare things." Leticia said.

I nod in response. She is so rich.

I walked to the couch where in there are carpets. Lily and Luke are here.

"Hi Lily girl." I said to her opening my arms.

"Auntie Aria!!!!!!!" She yelled and run towards me. She gave me a hug and kiss my cheek.

I pulled out "Auntie Aria, my cousin Luke." Lily said with her cute voice.

"Hi Baby Luke. You are so cute " I cooed him and put him in my arms.

"M..mo..mmy" Luke said catching me off guard. He is looking me intently into my eyes.

Mommy?

"Oh my....!!!" I heard Leticia screamed from the back.

"Luke called you mommy?" She asked not angrily. You can say, she just asked me normally and shocked visible on her face.

"Yes, I am sorry. I didn't know why he called me also. We just met." I said politely and give apologetic look at her.

I didn't mean that he called me mommy. I never knew that a baby can called random girls mommy.

I looked at Luke and said.

"I am not your mommy. Baby Luke." I cooed.

I heard Leticia sighed.

"No need to be sorry Aria, He never speaks even we tried and even to his dad. This is the first time he spoke." She said joyfully.

I smiled at her.

"Oh..wait...I am gonna call Lucas and inform him." She got up and get her phone.

After sometime, I taught Lily basic problem in math. Addition and Subtraction which she get it easily. She is very intelligent. I try to teach her some simple multiplication and division and she got it so easily.

This child is so smart.

After we clean and organize her things. Leticia called us for dinner.

I tried to resist it but she insist. I need to go home and take some rest---yeah, I will get free dinner but I feel like being shy in this situation. I don't know why.

"Thank again Aria for giving me some spare time." She said.

"No problem, Call or inform me anytime." I said while getting a spoonful of Avocado.

"Honey, I am home." I heard a very manly voice.

I wonder that he is Leticia's husband.

"My husband is here. Continue eating. I'll just meet him." Leticia stood up while holding Luke in her arms.

I am right.

"Can you hold Luke for me?" She asked me.

"Not a problem" I stood up and get Luke from her arms.

She asked one of the maid to prepare another plate for her husband.

Just in time. They entered in the dining .

"Honey meet Aria my best friend. Aria meet my one and only husband Mark." She said kissing his husband lips.

I smiled at her.

"Nice to meet you Mark." I said politely. I didn't stand up cause Luke is falling asleep. I don't want to wake him up.

"You too." He said nodding at me.

"Luke called her mommy earlier and I already told Lucas about it. Honey." She said happily.

I can't see what is written in Mark's face. Is he angry or is he happy?

"Yeah, Because that fucking girl ruined everything." Mark spat angrily.

I looked at them in shocked. My eyes widened.

Is that me?

"Not you Aria, Luke's real mother." She said softly giving me a tight smile.

I sighed in relief.

"Sorry Aria, I didn't meant to scare you." Mark said  apologeticly.

"Thank God." I laughed. Which cause them to laughed too.

Luke jolt in my arms. He looked at me.

"Mmm...mo...mmy" He said and I cooed him.

"Did you heard that honey tell Lucas now." Mark said abruptly.

" I know! I know" she giggled.

After we ate. Leticia put Luke in the bed. She gave me my tip and I thanked her. I reminded her to call me anytime if she need anything.
