Same as the Former
CHAPTER 60

That question was answered by Amanda. Kevin, Kenzo and Cheryl come back to their table.

"Ma, look at this. Daddy Kev bought me a toy." Chery said happily.

"Cheryl said what?" Amanda asked, reminding me.

"Ah, I forgot." Cheryl shut her mouth in shame. Cheryl looked at Kevin. "Thank you Daddy Kev." He said with a smile that showed his milk teeth.

Kevin just replied with a smile.

"Thank you to Mommy Ay, Cheryl." Kenzo taught it.

"Thank you too Mommy Ay." Cheryl.

Ayesha also gave her smile to Cheryl.

Kevin and Ayesha go home first because Ayesha feels very tired. Kevin also looks anxious because he saw Ayesha who arrived just suddenly his face became a little pale.

Meanwhile, Kenzo takes Amanda and Cheryl back to the apartment. Cheryl falls asleep and Kenzo puts her to bed in the room, then Kenzo goes out to chat with Amanda in the living room.

"What are you talking about Ayesha?" Ask Kenzo.

"Just talk normally." Answer Amanda. "I thought he was your girlfriend, so you called him Ay."

Kenzo laughed, "It's what they know, you're my lover." Kenzo said making Amanda look at him sharply for a moment.

"Lho, why?" Ask Kenzo. "We are not like lovers, but we are like a happy little family."

"We're just friends, Ken." Amanda quickly.

"No, I'm Cheryl's father. Means your husband too." Kenzo replied casually.

Amanda throws a couch cushion at Kenzo. "What the hell?"

Kenzo smiled faintly at Amanda, who looked wrong, "We're not teenagers, Amanda. We are adults and the declaration of love is not important. The most important thing is that you and I are just as comfortable let's go."

"You said we were friends and partners to Cheryl." Reply Amanda.

"But not forever, Amanda. I'm very comfortable with you and I plan to marry you soon."

"Married?"

Kenzo nodded. "We're gonna be real parents to Cheryl."

Amanda stood up from her seat and shook her head. "You're crazy!!"

Kenzo stood up and held Amanda's arm to leave her. "I'm serious, Amanda. I want to marry you."

"Married me to Cheryl? I don't need a man in my life. You came into my life and Cheryl alone made me uncomfortable, Ken. I'm gonna go get Cheryl and never bother us again." Amanda said with a sense of anger while trying to release Kenzo's hand checks.

But Kenzo keeps her firmly stuck, even Kenzo pulls Amanda's waist down so Amanda doesn't rebel against him anymore. "I can't let you go." Kenzo said with a serious look.

"Why?" Amanda looked Kenzo in the eye.

Kenzo looked into Amanda's eyes, the eyes she had seen five years ago, eyes that might have made Kenzo fall in love at first sight.

"I love you." Kenzo said with a loving look.

Amanda threw away her gaze but Kenzo turned back to gently pull her chin. "I Love You, Amanda."

"Lied."

Amanda was silent, but her eyes did not escape Kenzo's eyes.

"Tell me if you're uncomfortable with me?" Kenzo whispered.

"Say, Amanda." Kenzo said because Amanda was silent.

"Amanda....."

"Take me off, Ken."

Kenzo's frozen, though,

"Take me and Cheryl off." Amanda said again.

"Stop being responsible about Cheryl because Cheryl is not your responsibility, Cheryl is my son and will only be my responsibility. You have nothing to do with Cheryl." Press Amanda.

Amanda breaks away from Kenzo and goes into the room immediately. He packed his goods and also Cheryl's belongings, Amanda will move to her old apartment because the apartment rental is still a few months away.

Kenzo immediately followed Amanda into the room, "Amanda please don't leave. I'm sorry Amanda." Pinta Kenzo looks panicked.

"I was wrong because I followed your will to move here. Stop giving me help in any case, Ken."

"Amanda, don't go, let me go. Please stay here for Cheryl."

Amanda looked towards Kenzo who looked so worried.

"Don't go Amanda, stay here." Pinta Kenzo again.

"If I were here, I'd keep depending on you, Ken. Cheryl will continue to think of you as her father and I won't." Amanda shouted. Luckily Cheryl slept in another room so she didn't hear the debate between Kenzo and Amanda.

"Why? Why don't you let Cheryl think of me as her father?" Ask Kenzo in frustration.

"Because you're not his father. And my heart always hurts every time Cheryl calls you Papa, because that call makes Cheryl wish you were her Papa while out there, whether in which part of the country, or not, Cheryl's biological father is not responsible even the breng's man*sek doesn't know at all Cheryl's whereabouts, you understand that, Ken?" Amanda vented the tightness in her heart, the tightness that made Kenzo's heart look like a sharp object.

Amanda weeps covering her face with both hands, while Kenzo freezes hearing all of Amanda's heart.

"Sway us, Ken. We're not your responsibility. Let us be like we used to be, get used to it without you." Amanda said in between her sobs.

Kenzo knelt before Amanda, too cowardly to admit to what he had done. Kenzo just kept quiet and let out his tears. Amanda's wounds are deep and it's all Kenzo.

"Well if that's what you want." Kenzo said at last then stood back up.

Amanda opened her face and looked down not daring to look at Kenzo. "Stay here, I promise I won't bother you and Cheryl again. Don't leave this apartment no matter what." Pinta Kenzo really.

Kenzo turned his body and stepped out.

"Ken's.." Call Amanda and Kenzo hold her back without looking at Amanda. "Thank you." Say Amanda slowly.

As Kenzo steps back, he heads to the room bedded by Cheryl, Kenzo grabs Cheryl's tiny hand and kisses her. "I'm sorry Papa, Papa will still be watching you from afar. Live well, forgive me if Papa's too cowardly to admit you're Papa's biological daughter." Kenzo whispered and kissed Cheryl on the forehead lovingly.

Amanda was still in her room and could not see the breakup. Amanda doesn't want to fall too deep by Kenzo's kindness. Amanda also does not want Cheryl to continue to depend even until she continues to think Kenzo is her father. Amanda just wants to recover the situation to get used to both without Kenzo. Amanda wants if the big Cheryl will be able to understand and accept if she was born without a father figure. Amanda is convinced that Cheryl can be as firm as she is, able to accept the reality of being born without knowing who her father is.

"I'm sorry Mama, Cheryl... Forgive Mama." Ogre Amanda.
