Chapter 27

"Why are you grinning like that?" 

"Because you praised my cooking, so I feel happy." 

Seeing Nina, for some reason Aiden remembered his promise to Cindy, where he was supposed to pick Cindy up at the airport. However, due to circumstances like this. He had forgotten to contact her and apologize to her. 

After eating, Aiden immediately got up from his place, took his phone that was lying on the table and called Cindy. 

"Yes Aiden, how are you? I'm already in New York City!" 

"Cindy, about my promise at the time, I'm really sorry that I couldn't pick you up." 

"Why are you apologizing? It's okay, you don't need to worry. I've found a nice apartment here," 

"Is that true?" 

"That's right, it's comfortable here and the rent isn't too expensive. How are you?" 

"Actually on the day I was supposed to pick you up, I had a bit of an accident!" 

"An accident? Oh my God, are you okay?" Cindy said worriedly. 

"I'm fine, just a minor injury. I should have called you right away, but I completely forgot. I'm sorry!" 

"Aiden, you don't need to apologize. Thank goodness you're okay, I'm glad to hear that. Maybe we can meet some other time, I really want to see you!" 

"Me too, have you started work yet?" 

"Tomorrow I start work, even though it's still in the same company, but because it's a different country, I feel a little awkward." 

"Everything will be fine, you don't need to worry. If you need help, you can contact me anytime!" 

"Really? I feel bad, what if your gitkfriend gets mad?" 

"I don't have a girlfriend," Aiden replied with an awkward laugh. 

"Forgive me!" 

"No need to apologize, okay, see you later?" 

"See you later Aiden, get well soon!" 

"Thank you." He said ending the conversation. 

After talking and apologizing directly to Cindy, he felt a lot better. However, the relief was replaced by another tightness. 

Aiden stepped into the toilet to relieve himself. Seeing that, Nina immediately approached Aiden who was going to enter the toilet. 

"Wanna poop, huh?" 

"Stupid! No need to mention!" 

"So what? I just want to ask, do you need help or not?" 

"What kind of help?" 

"Your left hand is injured, do you want me to help you clean the-" 

"Stop! Don't say that! You are so crazy, aren't you? Ah... never mind, my stomach hurts, don't bother me!" 

Bruuuk.... 

Aiden mmediately went into the toilet and closed the door roughly. 

"I just want to help, why is he angry?" Nina muttered. 

Knock...knock...knock... 

Nina knocked on the toilet door, making Aiden feel uneasy. 

"What do you want? Want to peek at me?" 

"If you have trouble, just call me. I will help you!" She called from behind the door. 

"No need, go there!" He shouted. He feel ashamed and annoyed. He didn't understand how to deal with this one woman. 

"Stupid! How could she say embarrassing things like that? Is she used to cleaning other people's buttocks?" He thought. Because he was so embarrassed by Nina's ridiculous level that was careless, his face turned red because he couldn't bear this kind of mental burden. 

Somehow, the banana girl's words are almost always right. Because he could only use one hand, it took Aiden a little longer to clean himself because he had to be careful, not to mention enduring the pain whenever his injured hand accidentally touched a wall or other hard object. 

After 20 tiring minutes, he finally came out feeling relieved because he managed to go through a long struggle only to expel the leftovers in his stomach. 

"Just finished?? Must be hard, right?" Nina asked who was cleaning the dining table. 

"What are you talking about? What's loud?" 

"Ah...wait, I have something for you!" She said as she took something out of her bag and handed it to Aiden. 

"Here, drink this!" After drinking this, tomorrow will definitely be smooth and smooth!" 

"What's this?" 

"Constipation Medicine," 

"Who's constipated? You're really overreacting, aren't you?" 

"I just want to help you, why are you so angry?" 

"I don't need your help!" 

"Aiden, your hand is bleeding. Have you changed the bandage yet?" 

"Not yet!" 

"Want me to help?" 

"Could you?" 

"Just changing the bandages, what's so difficult?" Having no choice, Aiden is forced to accept her offer to help him. 

Nina prepared bandages, plaster, scissors and other tools needed. After everything was ready, Aiden and Nina sat on the sofa. Nina who can be said to be quite an expert in this matter, impressed Aiden. 

"I salute you can do it!" 

"Because I'm used to it," She said, wrapping Aiden's arm with a fresh bandage. 

"It is common?" 

"Yeah, you want me to make lunch too?" 

"No need, you've helped me a lot today." 

"It can't be helped, you got hurt like this because of me. So, like it or not, I have to take responsibility, at least until your condition recovers as usual." 

"You don't care about me because you want it, do you?" 

"What do you want? What are you talking about? I didn't think about anything." 

"So, why are you holding back a smile like that? Come on, I already know your cunning mind. You don't want to lose at all!" 

"I just want, uhm...you don't charge for damage to your car, that's all!" 

"Haha... as I thought, your cunning brain always works when it's urgent, right? Do you know how much it costs to repair my car?" 

"How much?" She asked. Her face suddenly pale. 

"Eight thousand dollars," 

"E-eight thousand? Are you- are you kidding me?" 

"You still say I'm kidding? My car is broken like that, you can still say I'm kidding? What about my hand? You didn't think about that? I should have asked you for compensation, but because you're poor, I feel sorry for you. But you still have to pay for my car repairs! 

"Where do I have that much money?" 

"That's not my problem! Anyway you have to pay for it. Until the end of next month at the most!" 

"Aiden, please don't be so mean! Just give me a little more time to pay it off, will you? please!" 

"No! My life has been so unlucky since I met you. So, I don't want to know your problem anymore!" 

"Ouch... I'm going to die, how is this?" Nina muttered in frustration. She immediately got up from her place and went to the kitchen. 

Seeing her look frustrated made Aiden feel sorry for her. However, considering all the hardships Aideb had endured since meeting her, it seemed she deserved it. 

He took the medicine the doctor gave him to reduce the pain in his hand. For some reason, every time he took the drug, he always felt sleepy. Unable to resist sleepiness, Aideb lay down on the couch and within two minutes, he was asleep. 

Nina took a deep breath, she didn't know how to persuade Aiden to give her more time to pay off her debts and she could only give up. 

Four hours passed, Aidenwoke up from his sleep. It was already three o'clock, he was actually fast asleep. When he got up from the sofa, there was no sign of Nin in the house. 

He stepped into the kitchen, everything was clean. In fact, his clothes were neatly folded in the laundry room. The living room and family room were clean and dustless, to the extent that the window glass was shiny like it had just been cleaned. 

He was stunned, he didn't know what happened when he slept for 4 hours. He opened his phone, there was an incoming message from Nina that was sent 20 minutes ago, saying. 

"Aiden, I'll go home, okay? I've washed and ironed your clothes, you just need to arrange them in your wardrobe, actually I want to organize them, but I can't possibly get into your room, right? So, I put them on the table. I made them macaroni schotel for lunch. Before eating, heat it in the microwave first. Get well soon okay? I promise I will pay off all my debts to you, you don't need to worry, I won't run away." 

"What a long message?" He thought with a small smile. 

He stepped into the kitchen, on the table, Mr. Banana's macaroni schotel was already served. 

"This idiot, how did she know my favorite food?"
