The Woman Who Was Hurt
Part 30 | Hang on for love
..."If your heart is still closed to me, how can you love me?"...
...David Steven Lee's....
Lee POVs.
This afternoon I took Aisyah lunch at a Korean Restaurant which is quite close to the Studio. Aisyah had refused because she had an appointment with Avila, but I immediately decided to contact Robbie and ask the man to take Avila to lunch outside, so Aisyah can lunch with me. Brilliant idea, right?
And now finally Aisyah and I are sitting opposite to a dining table full of Korean menus that have been served to both of us.
There are kimchi, bibimbap, and super spicy samhyang that have all been confirmed to be fatal. Since deciding to become a Muslim, I was really careful about the halal food that I would consume.
I don't want food that's haram into my body anymore, just in the past I felt it.
"Everything has been verified as halal, sir." reported my bodyguard who I have ordered to check the ingredients and cooking process of the lunch menu that will be enjoyed by me and Aisyah.
"OK, now you can order lunch here too" I said.
"Seriously, sir?" ask my bodyguard with sparkling eyes.
"Seriously, you just have to order me to pay" I replied with a smile.
"Thank you very much, sir."
"Same," said I who then turned my eyes towards Aisha.
"I'm sorry Shah, it just seemed like ignoring you" I said, smiling back at Aisyah.
"I'm even cool every time you see you interact with your bodyguard" said Aisyah.
"Why reason?" I asked while looking at him.
"Hm, 'cause you seem familiar with him." Aisyah answered while taking me a pair of chopsticks.
"She I consider a friend, Shah. Because since High School I have always been taken care of him wherever I go," I explained as I grasped the chopsticks that Aisyah had brought me.
"Oh yes, your pantesan is familiar and the same attention to him," said Aisyah responded.
"But I'm still much more concerned with you, shah." The words suddenly came out of my mouth.
"I know, Lee. And. thank you, yes," said Aisyah while smiling at me.
"I should thank you, Shah. Because you still want to accept me as your friend after that statement" I said, bowing my head.
"Love is indeed unexpected Lee, he comes in someone's heart without being set and determined, besides that love can also change over time. Therefore, I can't end our friendship just because of an uncertain feeling."
"One thing you should know, Lee. Even if I can't love you, but I have a great love for you, and you know that love is more lasting than love?" said Aisyah who made me raise my head and then look at her face and smile that can calm my heart.
Suddenly the sound of Aisyah's phone messed up the atmosphere that made my heart comfortable.
"Wa'alaikum..."
"What's? Yes, yes, I will be there as soon as possible."
That was all I could hear before Aisyah finally said that she could not continue her lunch because she had to go to finish important matters.
"Do I need to take you?" my bargain was countered fast by Aisyah.
"No need Lee, I took a taxi anyway, after lunch you have a meeting with a client from Singapore right?"
"Yes, are you careful? If there's anything call me, okay?" I said a little worried about him.
"Okay, I must have called you, then I go first, Assalamualaikum..," said Aisyah as she waved her hand and smiled at me.
"Wa'alaikumsalam salam warahmatullah," said I, who smiled widely and waved my hand.
It had been three days that Devano had been transferred to the state benefits ward, and it had been four days that he was always waiting for Aisyah's arrival, hoping that his ex-wife would see him again like that time, but it seemed like he had to swallow that hope deep down because the tip was always disappointing. It seemed that Aisyah no longer wanted to visit him anymore.
Devano realizes that he is too much of a jerk to get the attention of Aisyah like he used to be. Devano now thinks that maybe Aisyah just wanted to help him wake up from the subconscious, nothing more because the woman just pity him not because she still loves him.
"I'm sorry, Ayesha." Devano muttered while looking at the door, still hoping that at any time the door would open and bring up the figure of Aisyah who missed him.
"When I was alone, you always came to me and said that you would always accompany me, now I need you to prove that word, Aisha. Although I realize that our relationship has broken down and can't be what it used to be. But I beg you to come, accompany this fragile man so that he does not feel alone" Devano said, hugging his knee as he often did when he was a teenager when he felt alone.
A few moments later the sound of the door opening made Devano look directly at the door, but apparently the one who came was a nurse who delivered medicine, not like his expedition who thought that it was Aisyah.
"Please take the medicine sir," said the Sister, offering the medicine and warm water in the tray she carried.
"I can not take the drug," rejected Devano who had always been very fond of the smell of the doctor's medicine.
"But you have to take this medicine to get well quickly." The nurse forced Devano to take the medicine she was carrying.
"If I say I can't it means I really can't!!" snapped Devano who had begun to nausea and dizziness due to the smell of the medicine that the Sister offered.
"But sir, this is an order from the doctor who handles the father, if you can't, I will help you take this medicine, how?" persuade the sister subtly.
"Stay I can't take that medicine, period! There's only one person who can help me take that medicine."
"Who sir? Just tell me who can help that guy?"
"Aisyah, my ex-wife," Devano answered, covering her nose with nausea and dizziness at the smell of the medicine.
"Alright, I'll call Ms. Aisyah's number. Lucky for that time, she wrote her number on our receptionist contact list," the nurse said before leaving Devano's ward to call Aisyah's number.
But a few minutes later that came was not Aisha, but Rifa. Disappointed Devano turned his back to Rifa and chose to close his eyes without caring if his attitude would offend Rifa.
"You're so spoiled, aren't you? Take drugs until you have to call your ex-wife? Why don't you call me try? I'm standing by twenty-four hours ahead just for you, Dev!" Rifa said it with a cynical tone.
"Well how many times have I told you, all I need is Ayesha, not you or anyone else! From now on don't come to this hospital again if your goal is me,"
"Devan, you can't say that to me! I'm minting...."
"OUT! I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR FACE ANYMORE!" Devano's patience runs out, the man yells to expel Rifa from her nursery.
Coinciding with that, Aisyah appeared in the doorway and saw what happened.
