Chapter 3

"He wasn't embarrassed when he smiled at me, even though he knew the two of us knew each other and he was with another woman," Kiley explained.

"He's the only one who decides when they break up, but even if Dione didn't want to, she didn't do anything; she insisted on breaking up because she was afraid of responsibility," Ayesha explained.

Kiley's mouth opened wide in response to Ayesha's words.

"He has no respect for himself or Dione, and take note, Dione was still pregnant when he left her," Ayesha said.

"What? If that's the case, how are you now?" Kiley asked, her head bowed as she realized something.

Dione noticed Kiley take a deep breath.

"It's a good thing he decided to split you up early because he might have fooled you behind," Kiley said.

He's rational. When he deceives me with another woman while we're still together, it's difficult to accept.

"It's okay, Dionne; everything happens for a reason. Noah leaves your life, and your child is his replacement. You should go to the hospital frequently so that the doctor can check you out, and I recommend that you see a great doctor who I know check on your pregnancy," he says.

She nodded in response. Ayesha was extremely lucky to have him in her life. He was charming as well as a skilled surgeon.

Kiley stood up and stated.

"All right, sweetheart, prepare food for Dionne so she can eat well; I think she hasn't eaten a heavy meal in a month since she was thin," Kiley said to Ayesha. As he walks out of the living room.

"Dionne, feel at home, you can stay here forever," he said, smiling. I returned his smile. After Kiley left, the two of us remained in the living room.

"What do you want to eat now, Dionne?" Ayesha asked.

"It's as if I'm not in the mood to eat rice," I explained.

“You should eat, Dionne, so that you gain energy. Just let all your hatred and worries go. Accept the fact that Noah leaves you with another woman, and don't ask yourself what that woman has that Noah chose her over you." I exhaled deeply and smiled slightly.

Later, Ayesha and I walk into the kitchen together. I'll sit on the stainless tool and rest my right hand on the table. I noticed Ayesha preparing ingredients for her cooking sessions.

"Thank you. I will appreciate your love for me," I said later.

"You're welcome. What's the point of being your friend if I can't help you in times like this? Of course, I love you a lot, Dionne."

I'm touched by how much this woman adores me. I'm not sure what she was going to cook because I noticed she was slicing something that looked like vegetables.

"You're lucky to have Kiley in your life; I haven't heard you complain about his wrongdoings."

She paused slicing for a moment and turned to face me.

"There isn't a perfect relationship, Dionne, so it means we had some misunderstandings and flows, but we'll do our best to fix them right away so they don't affect our relationship and cause us to separate," she explained.

I give her a serious look.

"You're right when you say you can hear me complaining about him because I'll never experience Kiley doing something bad behind my back because I have something he can't find in another woman," she said, smiling.

I shook my head because what she said about Kiley's attitude hit me hard. Because Noah was the polar opposite of Kiley in terms of demeanor. My love for him has made me deafeningly deaf.

"Dionne, I'm not saying anything to bolster my boyfriend's ego; I'm just telling you what attitude he has." Ayesha continued, her eyes gleaming,

"And I'm not saying anything to compare their mindsets, but I just wanted to let you know that your Noah didn't have my Kiley's attitude. Don't lose hope, since you have many more years ahead of you, you'll be able to find your own Kiley soon."

I took a deep breath in and out. Ayesha had a positive outlook on life. I've never seen her sob in the face of adversity. We had only known each other for a year, yet I recall her warm grin always. It was like she hadn't undergone hardships in life. We used to work in a company before I resigned.

She started cooking in minutes, and I discovered she makes chicken soup. My saliva split in two when I smelled the essence of Ayesha's dish. Then I felt like I'd be able to eat until late at night. Maybe my baby was hungry as well. Half an hour had passed. Her food has already been prepared. She begins to assemble it on the table. Then I'll get a spoon, a dish, and some rice with chicken soup.

"Be careful, Dionne, the soup was still hot," she warned.

"I almost forgot you're pregnant," she joked, "which is why you're acting like a hungry dog."

"Damn you, Ayesha, I'm so hungry." Her brow furrowed again.

"Seriously? You're hungry and don't want to eat? If you're not pregnant, Dionne, maybe I'll smash your face," Ayesha said before beginning to eat.

"You had the strength to eat there but you didn't even call your boyfriend so that the three of us could eat together," he says.

Dionne said, "If he's going to his library, it indicates one thing: he doesn't want to be disturbed by anyone, including me," she explained.

I'm amazed at how understanding Ayesha is.

"It's difficult to love a doctor, Dionne," she explained, "because they love their patient more than their woman."
