Replying to salaam correctly

Q: A known person to me sometimes greet me as Assamualekum without la in it, clearly. Sometimes I reply to him in forgetfulness Walekum assalam, instead of Walekum. Then I realize that, and don't know what to read as a counteract to that. Could you please tell me what to do at that times?

A: Then reply with wa alaikum.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
