"It isn't cook yet?" Aisha pout, she was bent over and stared eagerly at the oven.
Lucian sighs and pulls Aisha away from the hot oven, "You ask that for every minute."
"But it's too long!" Aisha whines and tug at Lucian's shirt. "Big brother, make it faster, please! I want to taste my cookies!" She look up to Lucian with her big, puppy, violet eyes that makes everybody wants to fulfill her every wishes.
Lucian isn't an exception.
Lucian hesitate for a bit, "We could make the heat a little higher." Lucian suggested but someone suddenly poke his head. "Aw!"
He turns around with a grumpy expression but when he saw his mother's "sweet smile but a very creepy smile" he swallows his complain and wince at his mother.
Aisha laughs at Lucian but she was hit by Luce too. "What did I do wrong!?" Aisha look up to her with tears threatening to fall from her eyes.
"You can't fool me with your aegyo[1], young girl. You have to be patient when you're baking."
Aisha pouts even more and in that moment, Lucian blush as he think how adorably cute Aisha is.
Luce saw her son blushing and let out a teasing chuckles. Her son is cute too when he's in love.
"Ciana, why don't you go and make wrappers with Lucian?" Luce decided to be her son's wingwoman and make them spend some time together.
"Okay! Call us when the cookies is ready!" Aisha agreed and take Lucian's hand with hers and leaves the kitchen.
Lucian's heart skip a beat as he stared at his and Aisha's hand. Aisha's hand is small and while both of their hands is covered with gloves, that didn't stop Lucian to feel Aisha's warmth.
"There's so many people."
"Yes, it was different from before." Lucian smiles as he look at the happy faces of people when they taste his mother's pastries and when they praise her.
Luce's bakery is small and far away from the Central so not many people went to her bakery to buy. But when Aisha appears a week ago, that's when all changes. Those men who keeps bothering them didn't appear anymore, and Aisha buys the whole land and have it sign under Luce's name, Aisha also promote her bakery and hired some professional patissières to help Luce.
Aisha really give her all but Luce couldn't accept such thing, especially since Aisha said it was her payment for Chocolate-Topped Strawberry Cheesecake. Luce still didn't accept it but Aisha told Luce to just teach her how to cook and bake, and both of them can call it quits.
And ever since then, Aisha would go here everyday and spend some time with her new friends.
Both Aisha and Lucian spend their whole day making DIYs wrappers and making lots and lots of sweets. Aisha was really having fun, it was her first time having friends other than her father's subordinates.
"Young Miss, the Lady Boss wants you to go home now." The mafia felt helpless at his Young Miss stubbornness and try his best to pursued the little girl.
Aisha pursed her lips. She don't want to go home yet! It wasn't even dark yet!
Luce also felt helpless at Aisha's bratty attitude. "Come on now, Ciana. It's Christmas eve later, and you baked some sweets to your mother. Don't you want her to taste it?"
"You can come again tomorrow and we'll play." Lucian was a bit upset that Aisha will go home now buy still pursued her to go home.
Aisha finally relented and give them a big smile, her hand is clutching the sweets she makes for her mother. "Then I'll come back again tomorrow! Lucian, don't back at your words! We'll play and play and play tomorrow!"
Lucian laughs and blush at Aisha smile. She really has a pretty smile, Lucian thought but he didn't realize that it will be the last time he will see Aisha's genuine smile.
"Is she not here yet?" Luce asked her son who is waiting eagerly outside of her bakery for Aisha's arrival.
Lucian shake his head in answer, he was starting to get anxious every second Aisha's not here. She's suppose to be here in this round of time.
"Maybe something happens to her?" Lucian turns to his mother, his eyes wide in alarm.
"Ciana has her bodyguards with her. She should be alright."
"But---"
"Maybe she was just caught in the traffic. Come inside, it's cold. Aisha won't want you to spoil her play because you caught a cold, alright?"
Lucian was reluctant to go inside but he knew his mother was right so he goes inside of the bakery and wait for Aisha.
But she didn't come.
He waited for her every day, hoping that she will come back again, but at the end of the day, his hope ended up being crushed and he was left disappointed again.
Luce felt sad for her son but she really couldn't do anything to ease his sadness. Even though she really likes Aisha, she knows that Lucian and Aisha can't be together.
Luce had a bit knowledge about the mafias and deduce that Aisha was probably a daughter of some powerful Boss. Aisha was from the mafia world, the world that Luce keeps avoiding for the sake of Lucian.
"Lucian, I'll help the others pack the remaining foods, wait for me here, okay?" Luce told her son but Lucian only nodded at her and keeps on waiting in front of the bakery.
Luce sighs and went to the storage room while Lucian was looking at every people roaming in the streets. He did this for an another minute when he caught a strange man in black suit coming towards him.
The man's get up is similar to the ones Aisha's bodyguards wore so Lucian felt a bit excited when he sees him but stop when the emblem in the man's suit is different from the ones Aisha's bodyguards has.
The man stop in front of Lucian and Lucian felt a sudden chill to his back. This man's aura screams danger so Lucian take a step back and swallow his fears and ask the man bravely.
"How may I help you, sir?"
The man smirk at Lucian and place his hand on top of Lucian's head. Lucian inspect the man and couldn't help but to notice that the man has some resemblance between him and the man.
"What is your name?" The man ask in his gruff, rough voice.
"I'm Lucian Lumière, sir."
The man frowned when he heard Lucian's name. "Your name means light, pathetically weak in my opinion."
Lucian frowns and he felt insulted by the strange man's remark.
"Hmm," the man thinks for a moment before he grins evilly at the child. "Aeron, yes, from now on you are Aeron Seth Cavelli."
Lucian's frowns deepens even more, he was about to tell the man that his current name is alright when he hears his mother's voice from behind.
"Lucian, let's go home now."
The man and Lucian look back to see Luce. Luce saw the man in front of Lucian and couldn't help but to feel shock and scared when she recognized the man's face.
No! What was he doing here!? I already leaved his place just like he wants! Don't tell me he wants to take Lucian away from me!? Luce's body trembles and with a shaky voice, she calls the man's name.
"Rafael Cavelli."
