Butterfly In You
Chapter 11: Ugly And Shit

Happiness enveloped Shehan this afternoon. A bright smile continued to adorn the look of his face from earlier. Being able to enjoy a lunch with Sarah is like getting a gift for Shehan.

In fact, Sarah could see Shehan's happy expression clearly. Then in between their eating activities, she tried to tease her ex-husband with a mild joke. "From this moment I noticed that you were smiling. Must be because I'm getting married soon, huh?" Sarah's temper is a little spoiled.

Shehan was flabbergasted. "ah! No, Sarah." In a hurry he denied.

"Don't lie to me, Shehan. If it's true, it's okay too. I'm glad you have a new partner now. So I don't feel so guilty for leaving you alone."

"It's not really because of that, Sarah."

Shehan again denied Sarah's allegations. The woman was made really curious now.

"If it wasn't for that, what would it be for?"

Shehan flinched with a focused gaze towards his ex-wife. He not only sees with his eyes, but also with his heart.

'I'm glad to be with you, Sarah.' Shehan's honest expression in the deepest recesses of the heart and only Shehan can hear it.

"I'm glad that Nurbanu can see his mother again." That was the best answer Shehan could say, rather than having to admit his longing for Sarah. Sarah is already the wife of another man.

Sarah's sad look after Shehan's words. "Yes, Shehan. I also feel guilty for Nurbanu. In the future I will try to loosen my busy life so that I can stay with Nurbanu longer."

"Yes, that's better. Even though we're both separated, but I don't want Nurbanu to lose the affection of one of us. We are his parents. So we're the ones responsible for pleasing Nurbanu."

Shehan loved his daughter very much and always prioritized Nurbanu from anything.

"Ya Shehan .. oh yeah, by the way, what about your wedding plans. I wonder who that lucky lady is." This time Sarah to the point asked about the thing that made her most curious.

A hint of Shehan's smile expands, replying to Sarah's enthusiastic mood. Breathing in slowly and deeply. Shehan tried to calmly respond to Sarah's question, not wanting to rush to answer it. "Can we talk about it when we're done eating?" pinta Shehan is polite.

Sarah thieving spoiled. A little bit of pity because Shehan delayed giving an answer. However, he also does not want to force and prefers to be patient. "Alright, Shehan. It's up to you."

Shehan nodded a few times. He was relieved because the shadow figure of Lilis did not interfere with a special lunch time with Sarah.

**

Half an hour passed, Sarah in her graceful way sipped a straw that almost her entire pipe sank into strawberry juice. He finished his meal and was sitting sweetly looking at Shehan who was trying to finish the rest of his meal.

No need to wait long, the next minute Shehan has finished enjoying his lunch. The man took a glass of water and gulped it down to half a glass. Then take a sheet of tissue, wipe the area around the mouth to make it clean.

Both ends of Shehan's lips rose now, carving out a meaningful smile created just for Sarah. The ex-husband and wife looked at each other. In Shehan's heart, the flowers had already filled his fondness.

"Shehan ...," call Sarah softly.

"Yes, Sarah." Shehan slowly edged forward from his original sitting position. He was willing to do that in order to enjoy the beauty of Sarah from a closer distance.

"Tell me who your future wife is. I was really curious!"

Sarah whined like a child. In front of him, the flowery Shehan suddenly turned tangled by a thousand. He was confused to tell Sarah that Lilis was his future wife.

In Shehan's mind, there appeared a shadow of Lilis's figure now. The girl never wears makeup other than thin powder. Her long hair up to her back was always braided one behind. As a strap-on, Lilis only rely on rubber bands.

Moreover, Lilis was also always wearing simple clothes. Not a fancy dress or anything. Lilis really looks like a village for Shehan. While Sarah who is currently in front of him, is a very fashionable woman.

"Shehan, why daydream? You don't intend to tell me anymore, do you? Though I've been waiting since," Sarah scolded even though with a joke.

"No Sarah. That's not what I mean." Shehan's forehead frowned.

"If it wasn't, let's say, Shehan! Who is your future wife? I need to know because she's going to be a connecting mother for Nurbanu." Sarah urged again, impatient.

'I am ashamed because he is ugly and the village, Sarah, ' Inner Shehan, is concerned for himself who will marry women who are far below his standards.

Sarah demanded Shehan's answer through the look in her eyes. Shehan can't be kinked anymore. Inevitably the man had to tell Sarah who his future wife was.

"The woman ...." Shehan paused like he couldn't continue his sentence.

"Come, Shehan! Don't make me curious." Sarah's resentment is no doubt he displayed as a form of protest against Shehan's long-winded attitude since then.

"The woman is ...."

Shehan's lips couldn't talk. On one side Sarah across the focus is listening.

"The woman I'm going to marry is Lilis."

At once, Sarah's eyes were rounded almost as big as a ball of feet.

"What! The lyric? You said Lilis was your future wife?"

"Yes, Sarah." Shehan is embarrassed.

"Are you sure of what you said just now, Shehan? You're getting married to Lilis, our baby sitter-son?" Sarah was still staring with eyes of disbelief.

While sitting down, Shehan's feelings were mixed. Restless, restless, ashamed, everything becomes one. He had guessed that Sarah would not believe him.

"Why do you suddenly want to marry Lilis, Shehan? Isn't that girl just six months old working as our babysitter?"

"Yes, but I've known him long enough." Shehan tried to defend himself from appearing to be messing around.

"You mean, you've been close to that girl long enough?"

Shehan was silent and unable to answer. His view shifted to another place. Deliberately avoiding Sarah's constantly intimidating gaze.

"Shehan, to be honest I'm still not sure. Why did you suddenly marry Lilly? Is there something behind all this?"

Shehan's assertive attitude appeared to mediate this serious atmosphere. "No, not at all."

"Huh ...." Sarah's deep breaths puffed out, easing her puffed-up mind. "So there's really nothing behind it?"

"I've answered this question, Sarah. Yes, I am indeed going to marry Lilis in the near future and I have already told you. Please, respect my decision."

'I didn't expect Shehan's taste in women to be so different than it used to be. Is it because I left her, she turned into a simple female lover?' Sarah sat there while watching Shehan's assertive attitude.
