After Nico left, Harris and Hana also left the room, leaving Aiden and Anya to eat together. Tomorrow Aiden would be out of the country for a week, so there was nothing wrong with giving them some time to enjoy their time.
Anya just realized that she was sitting very close to Aiden. Her hands were still tightly around Aiden's arms and her head rested slightly on the man's shoulders. Meanwhile, Aiden's eyes were still on her, completely ignoring Nico who left with a frown.
Anya was very surprised when she realized what her current position was. She immediately let go of Aiden's arm. Her hands tucked her hair over her ears, trying to cover up her nervousness. She wanted to pull her chair back to its original place, but Aiden's hand moved faster.
Aiden hugged the woman's waist and kept her in his current position, near him. It erased the physical distance between them, making Anya stiffen and feel even more nervous. She said haltingly, "Come on… Let's go back to eat. The food will get cold."
However, Aiden would not just let Anya go. His hands still hugged Anya's waist and said, "Hmm...Am I really yours?"
"Eh?" Anya's face turned red when she heard Aiden teasing her. She immediately fled from Aiden's arms and returned to her place.
Aiden could only chuckle when he saw Anya running away from him, "Are you making Osmanthus cake for me tonight?" He asked with a smile. Before he went abroad tomorrow, he wanted to eat Anya's cake first. He wanted his first date with Anya to be successful.
"Huh?" It seemed like Anya's brain was not working normally anymore so it was too late to understand what Aiden was saying.
"No? Do you want to be at home with me?" Aiden teased one more time.
"Ah! No, no! I'll make a cake for you!" Said Anya, her face getting flushed red.
Suddenly, Anya's cell phone rang, breaking the atmosphere of the dining room which had already melted away. An unknown number appeared on the screen. Even though Anya didn't save the number, with just one look she knew that it was Raka's number.
She didn't know where Raka got her number.
The phone kept ringing, no matter how many times it was ignored. From Anya's reaction, Aiden could already guess who was calling her. His face was grim again.
"Why isn't it picked up?" Asked Aiden. His lips were thinning as if holding back anger and his voice sounded cold.
Anya's heart skipped a beat when she heard that question. She didn't know what to answer. If she told Aiden that Raka called her, would he get even angrier?
"I don't know the number. Maybe it's just a wrong number." Anya decided to lie. She didn't want to make Aiden angry. It was better to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
"Is it true?" Asked Aiden, looking closely at Anya's face.
"Hmm ... Let's just eat." Said Anya.
"I don't like your ringtone." Aiden said expressionlessly. Anya knew what Aiden meant. It wasn't the song that she used as ringtone Aiden didn't like, but the lyrics of the song. It was her favorite song with Raka, a song that was their hope to be together forever.
Together until the world separates us…
Anya still used that song. At first, she couldn't change the song because it was her memory with Raka. But after many years had passed, she continued to use the song because she was used to hearing it.
"I will change it with your favorite song. What song do you like?" Asked Anya. Her hand was gripping Aiden's, trying to calm him down so he wouldn't get angry again.
Aiden just snorted, but he didn't take his hand away. He let Anya's hand continue to hold him.
Anya immediately opened the internet and looked for a song that suited them both. A song appeared on the internet page and Anya really liked the lyrics.
I want to grow old with you, stay in your arms ...
I want to grow old with you, look into your eyes until a deep sleep envelops me...
I want to be with you, share everything with you ...
Forever with you ...
This song was suitable for both of them. They were a husband and wife who lived together forever until death did them part. Anya didn't know what the tone of the song was, but she felt that the lyrics were a perfect fit for her and Aiden.
"How about this?" She asked, turning on the song. She studied Aiden's face carefully. A tone played softly. Like the lyrics of a very romantic song, the tone of the song was like a confession of love.
The expression on Aiden's face was calmer than before, but he still frowned. "Whatever, that's your cell phone."
It's not easy to persuade Aiden not to get angry.
"I will use this song especially for you. With that, I know that you called me." Said Anya, continuing to persuade Aiden, "How about we use the same song?"
Aiden didn't say anything, but he gave his cell phone to Anya so Anya could arrange the song for him. Anya received the cell phone happily. Although Aiden didn't say anything, it seemed that the man liked the song she chose.
When opening the cellphone, a photo on the main screen was visible. It was a photo of Anya standing in the garden of the house looking at the sea of irises. Sunlight seemed to be shining on her, but Anya didn't care at all. Her gaze was still fixed on the surrounding flowers, amazed by their beauty.
She stood tall, facing the sea of irises. Her eyes sparkled as she witnessed the beauty before her. Her modest dress did not make her any less beautiful among the flowers. For Aiden, Anya was the most beautiful flower among the sea of flowers.
The photo was taken when Anya first came to Aiden's house, a photo that was taken secretly.
Anya was shocked to see him. Aiden made her photo his cell phone's wallpaper!
Meanwhile, Aiden lifted his spoon and went back to eating as if nothing had happened. He ate casually while Anya still looked confused beside him.
Anya didn't know how she felt now. She was pretty shocked. She then decided to ask Aiden directly, "Aiden, why did you put my photo on your cell phone? Are you…" Anya hesitated to ask him. She didn't want to sound overly confident.
Did Aiden like her?
Meanwhile, Aiden didn't answer as if he didn't hear Anya's question. Anya saw Aiden continued to eat calmly, neither confirming nor denying her question.
He was silent and immediately moved the song she got to Aiden's cellphone. Then she put the song as Aiden's ringtone especially for him.
"Aiden, did we really know each other before?" Anya asked while adjusting Aiden's cellphone.
The question caught Aiden's attention. He put down his spoon and stared at it for a moment.
However, no answer came out of his mouth and then the man resumed his lunch.
Seeing Aiden who was silent, Anya decided not to ask anymore. She continued eating while hoping Aiden would answer her question.
When they were eating, Aiden suddenly said, "You used to save me."
'Save him? What does he mean?'
"When did that happen?" Anya asked.
"In our previous life." Aiden said casually. He said it as if it was a normal thing.
'Previous life? How can we remember our previous lives?'
"Can you remember your past life? No wonder I can't remember you!" Anya said in surprise.
Aiden just sighed when he heard Anya's answer. This woman was really naive. It was at that time that Anya realized that Aiden was teasing her, but because Aiden said it, Anya just believed him. How could someone remember memories in a previous life.
"But why can't I remember you? When have we met and why don't I remember it at all?" Anya asked while holding her head, "Did I lose my memory because I studied too much on the college entrance test?" She added.
Why couldn't Anya remember Aiden at all?
