Lisa was enjoying her dinner in peace. She started stuffing one dish after another into her mouth as she wiggled her head in pleasure. Ah, how delicious!
"Hi, Lis," the man called, smiling with authority.
Lisa was momentarily transfixed. Why was that man coming to her again? Lisa had told him she was busy. Lisa's necklace had also been returned. Because of her shock, she didn't even chew the sushi that had entered Lisa's mouth.
"Wow, it turns out you're really busy. You're so busy that you can eat while daydreaming," Fattan quipped, causing Lisa to clench her teeth.
How annoying! How could he tease her like that? Lisa was indeed busy. Can't a busy person eat? She could die later. But it was a bit embarrassing because she was caught gawking at Fattan's sudden appearance.
After the woman chewed quickly, she protested, "What the hell? Just disturbing people's lunch!"
Forgive Lisa's barbaric behavior. After all, Lisa was very tired of dealing with the behavior of crocodile men like this. So, Lisa hoped Fattan would understand and get away from her. Unfortunately, her expectations were wrong. Instead, the man laughed happily.
"Hahaha. So what should I do to keep you from eating? Should I bribe you to help you?" Fattan teased later.
Lisa sniffed her breath in annoyance. How could the man joke about her tantrum. But Lisa was also grateful that the man in front of her was not easily offended. So, Lisa also did not feel too guilty about her sassy way of speaking.
"Wow. What the hell! I still have two whole hands that are healthy, yes. So don't underestimate my eating ability," said the woman proudly.
Never mind having to be fed, she could even finish all the food on the table by herself. So, what's the lack of independence?
"Hahaha. That's fine. What day am I an amateur like this?" asked the man sadly.
Lisa squinted irritably. I don't know what that man will do, it's like he has nothing to do.
"Ah, never mind. Just tell me what you're coming to me for. I know you won't waste time after hearing from people that you're a workaholic."
There was no answer. Lisa immediately felt something was wrong and it turned out that Fattan was grinning. Was there something wrong with Lisa's words that made him look happy?
"Wow, so you also secretly found out about me?"
Fattan's youthful excitement was rekindled when he heard that the person he was admiring also knew a little about him. Meanwhile, Lisa herself felt sorry for saying so. So big-headed, right? Forced deh, Lisa had to change the subject again so that she would not be too embarrassed.
"Ishh, it's widening everywhere. Let's just answer, what is your purpose here?" Lisa asked once again.
Fattan let go of his laughter for a moment and then refocused on answering after being satisfied, "hahaha. Yes, I admit it. So, my purpose for coming here is because I want to hook up with you. I'm not going to cover up the fact about me. So, I'll tell you honestly that I'm already quite old; 40 years old."
The man's words instantly made Lisa's eyes widen. Her hands that were all focused on picking up the pasta instantly stopped. How could a man as handsome as him be 40 years old? In fact, Lisa often met men who were younger than Fattan but looked even older and more boring. And then he shamelessly told her that he wanted to approach her again! Lisa became confused.
"So why do you want to approach me when you know I'm rude like this?" she asked.
If Fattan really wanted to approach her, Lisa wouldn't have tried to run away. After all, Lisa used to be able to change partners in just a few days. She was also used to meeting many men. So, Lisa doesn't need to feel anxious. Regarding her desire to find a man who is really serious, she can still try.
Fattan shook his head in disagreement. "I don't think so. You are a sweet woman who is adorable and challenging. I'm curious. But I'm not going to lie that I'm a widower. I'm a widower who got divorced after one year of marriage because my wife cheated on me. Probably, because I wasn't the perfect man for her."
When he said this, Fattan's face looked a little sad. He became a bit insecure when he realized that the woman in front of him was a virgin who was not married at all. He felt that he didn't deserve to be with Lisa. Lisa herself could also feel Fattan's anxiety.
"Actually, I don't really care about status. It's just that I'm too tired of playing around with men as well as being played by men. So, I'm afraid you or anyone else will do the same," Lisa replied equally sad.
It turns out that no human being is perfect. All have their own shortcomings. Even Lisa, who is often narcissistic, realizes that her romantic fate is no better than Fattan's.
"If you give me a chance, I will prove that I am not a man who likes to play with women's hearts," said Fattan, which Lisa could not immediately agree to. She still needed time to think and digest the whole situation.

Hearing Fattan's sincere request made Lisa feel uneasy. So, in between teaching hours, Lisa decided to go to Dali's office to tell him everything she had experienced. There, Dali's new figure switched roles as a friend who was ready to hear all Lisa's complaints wisely.
"Um, is that so, Mom? So far, Mom has lived a love life with many young men but always ran aground in the middle of the road, right? Even Bubun's longest relationship with many men was only 3 weeks. That means, maybe Bubun is not suitable to be in a relationship with a younger man. So, in my opinion, Bubun should try having a relationship with a more mature man this time. Perhaps you are the opposite of me who failed to find a mature man but instead succeeded in a relationship with a younger man. Right?"
Come to think of it, Dali's words also have a point. Lisa had always failed to have a relationship with a younger man because they both had high egos and their unemployment made Lisa the one who had to bear their living expenses.
Fattan, on the other hand, was a well-established man who had everything. So, from a financial point of view, Fattan would certainly not depend on her. Regarding attitude and maturity, perhaps Fattan is more experienced so that he can compensate for his childish attitude. Didn't Fattan always seem to be relaxed about Lisa's mood swings? However, to be honest Lisa was still burdened by one thing.
"But he's a widower, Dal. He said he got divorced after a year of marriage because his wife cheated on him," said Lisa feeling her hopes were a little dashed.
Dali herself was also silent for a moment. It seemed that the woman knew about her anxiety.
"Hmm. What else can I do, Bund? The problem is we don't know what could make them choose to divorce like that. Besides, we don't feel in their shoes either. So, if Fattan is sincere and won't hurt you, I agree," Dali broke off.
Lisa was silent. She was still unsure of her own decision. However, Dali's words could also be considered. As a result, Lisa was only silent while thinking about Fattan who could not help but be recognized as very dashing and charming.
