Same as the Former
CHAPTER 40

weekend holidays arrive, and during weekdays, Ayesha always gets flower deliveries in the morning and lunch deliveries at work break hours. Who else would have done it if not Kevin. Ayesha was a little tired by not giving the flower to the office boy again and chose to keep the flower in a vase in his room.

Today, Ayesha plans to walk the street enjoying the fruits of her labor. He would shop in the largest shopping center in the city center. Since the divorce, Ayesha has been more than happy to entertain herself by shopping and indulging herself, something she never did during her five-year marriage to Rama.

Ayesha passed by the baby and child supplies store, and she saw an adorable cot. Ayesha's hand rubbed her own stomach, she remembered the baby who had stopped in her womb even though it was only a matter of weeks.

"If you can survive, surely your age is now two years old and live with Mama well." Ayesha.

Ayesha continued her activities, Ayesha did not want to remember her sad past for too long. Ayesha has lived happily and let go of her past, now her goal is just to live happily, that's all.

Ayesha headed to a Korean food restaurant. He wanted to eat some Korean special menu served in the restaurant. But Ayesha was surprised when suddenly someone sat beside her while Ayesha was looking at the restaurant menu book.

"Kev, what are you doing here?" Ask Ayesha in surprise.

"Lunch with my girlfriend." Answer it casually.

Ayesha circulated her gaze, but she did not find the whereabouts of the person she was in.

"Who's looking?" Kevin asked who saw Ayesha was confused.

"Lady, your lover."

Kevin laughed, "He's not my girlfriend."

Ayesha sneered, "Whose other lover are you with?"

Kevin looked into Ayesha's eyes gently, a slight gaze that lulled Ayesha.

"Of course this one week woman I sent flowers and lunch." He spoke softly while holding Ayesha's hand.

Ayesha gasped and tried to pull her hand but Kevin held her back.

"Don't joke, Kev. That's not funny." Annoyed Ayesha.

"I'm not kidding, Ay. I seriously. I want you to be my lover and let's get married." Kevin really did.

Ayesha simply threw away her face and went back to reading the menu book. Kevin does not force her to make Ayesha comfortable first, Kevin believes Ayesha's slow plan will accept it and open her heart to Kevin.

"What's his favorite food here, Ay?" Kevin asked to switch the conversation.

"All the food here is good." Answer Ayesha as necessary.

"Then order me the same food you ordered, I don't understand the menu here."

Ayesha tempak thought. "We eat different things, so we can share, I want other foods, too, but I'm afraid of satiety." Ayesha said with a glowing face. Ayesha seemed to forget the statement of Kevin who stated that he was her lover.

"Can." Reply Kevin who has seen Ayesha's attitude towards her melt.

Ayesha ordered the food she wanted to eat, until their table was quite full of various foods.

"It's delicious." Kevin said as he took the food and tried it.

Unknowingly Ayesha seemed to open up to Kevin, they shared the food in front of him, also talking and changing their minds about work. Kevin who is accustomed to his business affairs gives positive input to Ayesha so that Ayesha is better in leading her company despite Andrew as the highest leader.

For some reason near Kevin, Ayesha like re-inventing herself who had long dimmed, Ayesha like looking for a backrest where she let out her fatigue all along.

Ayesha also felt her burden lifted after sharing the work problem with Kevin. Even Ayesha revealed that she was saving from her own income, Ayesha wanted to open her business and explore her own potential, namely having a special store for baby and child supplies. The shop that may not be as big as Ayesha holds her own father's company, but the store is able to treat Ayesha's sadness about the past loss of her future baby first.

Hearing that Kevin just realized, Ayesha's wounds have not been fully healed, Ayesha is still injured because of the loss of her baby first. The baby he had been waiting for five years and just died because of Rama and his family.

Kevin smiled warmly at Ayesha, and Kevin's smile was like hypnotizing Ayesha. Even Ayesha did not realize that her hand was always held by Kevin.

Kevin paid for all the food Ayesha had ordered despite Ayesha's ban. But as a man, of course Kevin insisted on paying for it. Kevin also brought all Ayesha's groceries, Kevin already looks like a perfect lover for Ayesha.

Kevin drove Ayesha to her parents' house. Ayesha also allowed Kevin to enter, of course it was agreed directly by Kevin.

"Ay, it's Sunday night. We're out yuk." Take Kevin.

"You didn't go back to the apartment? Your apartment is far away."

"There's also my parents' house, Ay. Tomorrow is Sunday, I can go home tomorrow or Monday morning." Answer Kevin.

Ayesha was silent as if thinking. "Wouldn't you say hello to your lover?" Ask Ayesha again.

"Don't I tell you, if you were my lover now, even my last lover, I'd marry you if you agreed."

"How about Lady?" Ask Ayesha.

"Yes, listen to me." Kevin said with a serious look. "First, from the beginning I had no relationship with the Lady, my relationship was due to peddling alone and had not yet reached the stage of courtship, and if planning any engagement it was because of Lady's parents who asked for it, she said, not because of my wishes. But last week I told my parents I wanted to cancel the engagement because I couldn't accept it, I also said that if I was chasing a woman and my mom understood that and accepted it." Obviously Kevin. "Both I'm a single man and seriously want to marry you." Another imbibing.

Ayesha was silent, in her heart she was so happy to hear that, but Ayesha still kept her heart limited for fear of falling back. Moreover, Kevin's parents do not know what woman is being pursued by his son.

"Married to me, Ay." Kevin said really.

"I'm a widow, not worthy of you." Ayesha replied with disbelief.

"I don't care, I still love you and want to marry you. I'm not a perfect man, either, Ay."

"But your parents didn't know about me, I was afraid of being rejected and humbled by your parents. I don't want to have toxic in-laws back, Kev."

"Let's make sure my parents are the same. I'm sure they'll take you." Persuade Kevin.

Ayesha shook her head, "Don't go against your parents, Kev. I don't want to be accused of brainwashing you and opposing your parents."

"My parents weren't that bad, Ay. Come with me now. I'll introduce you to them."
