I Want to Be Loved

Two Hundred and Thirteen

Felicia held Kenzo's arm in love. They walked to the hotel restaurant. The place was right on the roof of the hotel building where they were staying.

Kenzo uses an alternative elevator to get to where they are going. Arriving at Kenzo's restaurant takes Felicia out of the restaurant. The man deliberately ordered a table in an open space.

Kenzo pulls out one of the chairs for Felicia and invites Felicia to sit down.

"Sit down" said Kenzo.

"Thank you." Felicia landed her ass on the chair.

Kenzo stepped into his own chair right in front of Felicia.

"The place is very comfortable" Felicia said.

"I've also ordered your favorite meal" Kenzo said.

"All right?" felicia was greeted with a nod of the head by Kenzo.

"For a while, yes" said Kenzo.

Kenzo raised his hand to call a servant. Not long after a male servant came to the table that Kenzo sat at.

"Can I help you, sir?" ask the waiter.

"I've ordered a couple of meals here. Is everything ready?" ask Kenzo.

"What's the name?" ask the waiter again.

"Kenzo" replied Kenzo.

"Wait a minute, sir. I'll check it out" said the waiter.

"All right," said Kenzo.

Silence took over the atmosphere between Kenzo and Felicia. They just look at each other and smile.

Felicia first cut off that view. He turned away from Kenzo to look around. Felicia saw

restaurant in crowded condition. There was hardly an empty table there.

The night view Felicia could see clearly. Beside him was a vast sea and above him was a dark-colored sky decorated by a sprinkling of stars.

"Do you like the place?" ask Kenzo.

Felicia turned to Kenzo. "Yes, I really like it."

"Here the place is very beautiful and the wind is also very strong. It's worth asking me to wear a jacket" Felicia said, followed by a small laugh.

"I just don't want you to get sick later" Kenzo said.

"Thank you for your concern" Felicia said.

Kenzo responded to Felicia with a smile.

Their conversation was interrupted when some servants came with food. A waiter helps arrange different foods onto the table along with Felicia's favorite drink.

"Please enjoy" said one of the butlers at the restaurant.

"Thank you." Kenzo and Felicia spoke together.

"I'm sorry." Some of the maids bowed before leaving Kenzo's desk.

Felicia looked at the food and drink in front of her. It's true that it's all his favorite food and drink. Felicia looked at Kenzo with a frowning forehead.

"What is this?" ask Felicia.

"Yes, is there anything you want again?" ask Kenzo.

Felicia shook her head. "Nothing is more than enough."

"Then, let's eat" said Kenzo who was immediately embraced by Felicia.

Felicia didn't touch the food right away. Felicia thought of something.

"Kenzo," call Felicia.

"Hmm, what's wrong?" ask Kenzo.

"I'm going to go to the toilet for a second" Felicia said.

"Do you want me to be with you?" bargain Kenzo.

"No need. I can do it myself" Felicia refused.

"alright. Don't take too long" said Kenzo who was immediately embraced by Felicia.

Felicia got out of her chair and left Kenzo. Felicia approached a waiter to ask where the toilet was.

Meanwhile Kenzo was still watching Felicia from her seat. He watched Felicia until Felicia's shadow vanished from his sight.

Kenzo chooses to check his work through his cell phone while waiting for Felicia. However, suddenly the sound of someone disturbing his calm.

"Kenzo."

Kenzo turned to the origin of the voice. His mood was bad after seeing who had just called him.

Kenzo immediately threw away his gaze from the woman who was his ex-lover. He decided to refocus on his cell phone.

"Hi." Vera greeted Kenzo with a smile on her lips.

"It just so happens that we meet here" said Vera.

"You and I stayed at the same hotel. It's possible that you and I met." Kenzo spoke without looking at Vera.

"Yes I know. I'm glad we could meet again" said Vera.

"But not with me" said Kenzo.

Vera was sad, her heart was hurt by Kenzo's words, but she tried to force herself to smile.

Vera can't lie to herself if she still wants Kenzo. Although Kenzo always refused, Vera still tried to get close to Kenzo.

"Kenzo —" Vera wants to sit near Kenzo, but Kenzo forbids it.

"Don't you dare sit in that place." Kenzo stops Vera from sitting in the chair previously occupied by Felicia.

"The seat belongs to my wife. He deserves to sit there" said Kenzo.

Felicia returned from the toilet. Clearly visible on his face was a sense of annoyance when he saw Vera.

"Mrs Wibowo, what is your business here?" ask Felicia.

"You know what I mean by being here." Vera looked at Felicia sharply.

Felicia looked back at Vera with annoyance. During the day the woman was already interrupting her time and now she was trying to disturb her husband.

"Heh, I won't let it go" Felicia said.

"Excuse me." Felicia sat in her chair and did not care about Vera's whereabouts.

Vera's anger had already begun to rise to the crown, but Vera tried to hold him back. He couldn't lose to Felicia. He was looking for a way to humiliate Felicia in front of Kenzo.

"Daddy, Felicia. Didn't you know that Kenzo doesn't like meat steaks?" ask Vera.

Felicia's eyes narrowed sharply towards Vera. Felicia knew clearly if Vera wanted to humble herself in front of Kenzo, but Felicia would not let that happen.

"Excuse me."

Felicia, Kenzo, and Vera turned to the origin of the voice. Two maids came with food that Felicia had previously ordered.

"This is the order, ma'am." One waiter who came put food in the form of grilled shrimp and mustard chives on the table.

"Feli, did you order this?" Kenzo asked Felicia when he saw her favorite food.

"Yes, of course I ordered it. I don't think this is fair. You ordered my favorite food, but none of your favorite food. So I ordered it" Felicia replied.

Felicia smiled sinisterly as she looked at Vera's sour face. He knew clearly the reason why Vera was like that.

"Sorry Mrs Wibowo. You're right my husband doesn't like meat steaks. I know he likes seafood the most. So I ordered the food he liked. Grilled shrimp and mustard," said Felicia.

Vera stands sculpting. Vera's palm was clasped to hold back the anger that was preparing to come out.

"I am his wife. So I know what foods Kenzo likes and what Kenzo doesn't like" Felicia said.

"You!" Vera wants to reply to Felicia, but unfortunately Wibowo's voice is heard first and prevents Vera from talking to Felicia.

"Vera," call Wibowo.

Vera turned her head towards Wibowo along with Felicia and Kenzo of course.

"Mas" said Vera.

"What are you doing here?" Wibowo is unaware of Felicia and Kenzo.

"I ...." Vera seemed confused to answer the reason for her existence in that place.

"Good night, Mr. Wibowo," said Felicia.

Wibowo turned to the origin of the voice. He saw Felicia and Kenzo in front of him.

"Oh, guys. Good night Mr and Mrs Kenzo." It was Wibowo's turn to greet Kenzo and Felicia.

"Good night." Kenzo and Felicia return Wibowo's greeting.

"So you're here too. Well, this is a coincidence" said Wibowo. "Mr Kenzo —"

"I'm sorry if I interrupt your words, Mr. Wibowo," Kenzo said. "I'm much younger than you. My age is the same as your child. So I don't think it's appropriate for you to call me 'master'. Just call me by name."

"Alright, Kenzo," said Wibowo.

"I know the past between you and Vera. But it's all over so can we forget about this?" Wibowo.

"Done? What's done? Don't know 'are you if Vera still wants my husband, '" Inner Felicia.

"Just calm down, Mr. Wibowo. I've buried my past, too" Kenzo said. "I feel happy with my new life. And I think Vera is too."

"Goodoo. Then .... What if we had dinner together," said Wibowo.

"I'm sorry I can't." Kenzo immediately rejected Wibowo's offer without thinking about it first.

Kenzo reached out his hand and grabbed Felicia's hand that was on the table. "Tonight I just want to spend time with my wife. I'm guessing you should also spend a lot of time on your wife."

"Yes I think you're right, Kenzo." Wibowo embraces Vera's waist. "I will definitely spend a lot of time on Vera. Moreover, the content of Vera has started to grow."

"Pour a lot of time for your wife, Mr. Wibowo. Fill your days with your love. Don't let your wife have time to think of anyone else but you." Felicia said as she continued to look at Vera.

Felicia felt very satisfied, and wanted to laugh at Wibowo and Vera's reaction after hearing her words.
