I Want to Be Loved

Two Hundred Sixteen

Felicia sat in agitation beside Reza. His eyes did not stop to continue staring at Kenzo who was chatting with his business partner. Felicia was also wary of Vera. The debate inside the bathroom earlier with Vera made Felicia anxious. What's Vera's plan?

"Feli what's up? Can't you just sit quietly?" ask Reza.

"How can I calm down. If there's an actor between me and Kenzo" Felicia replied.

"Egglers?" Reza scratched the side of his head with his index finger as Reza was perplexed. "You mean .. There are other women who want Kenzo?"

"Ck, yeah. And the pregnant woman is the one." Felicia pointed at Vera using her chin.

"Huh? Is she married?" Reza has a stupid face.

"of course! Don't you see if she's pregnant" Felicia said.

"Don't tell me she's pregnant with Kenzo's child" Reza said.

"Don't just talk!" One punch landed on Reza's arm, but Reza giggled.

"Hahahahaha, I'm just kidding, '" joked Reza.

"But how is it possible? She is pregnant and also married. Why would he want Kenzo." Reza took a chocolate strawberry snack and put it in her mouth.

"She's an ex-boyfriend and Kenzo's first love." Felicia spoke without stopping looking at Kenzo.

"Well, your position seems to be very threatened," led by Reza.

"Reza, stop joking! I'm serious now." Felicia was upset that Reza kept joking.

"Okay, okay. Pregnant women should not be angry is not good for your fetus," ledek Reza again.

"Re-za!" Felicia looked hard at Reza.

"Sorry, sorry." Reza put on a serious face again.

"Then what does the woman want to do?" ask Reza.

"He wants to get back to Kenzo. She's a woman who's lost her mind. You know what, Reza? He even said that the child in the womb was Kenzo's child" Felicia said. "And even worse, her husband once said it was Kenzo's son."

"Do you believe?" ask Reza.

"Of course I don't trust them. I have more faith in my husband" Felicia replied.

"Then it's good" Reza said casually.

"But I still feel anxious that Vera says she's going to take Kenzo back" Felicia said.

"Then just report the woman to her husband" Reza said.

"I've been intending to tell her husband about this. But Vera always got in her way" Felicia replied.

"Do you think Kenzo still has feelings for that woman?" ask Reza.

"I don't know either" said Felicia. "But from what I've noticed Kenzo never hugs Vera."

"Then what are you worried about?" ask Reza. "Don't you say Kenzo is kind to you, considerate, and also cares about you? You are also sure that he has the same feelings. Then what do you want again?"

"I just want to hear from Kenzo's own mouth if he loves me" Felicia replied.

"What is speech is more important than action" asked Reza. "With all the attitude and attention Kenzo showed you I think that's enough."

"Not all men can lightly express their feelings, Feli. Because men always act with reason, not like women who always act with feelings" explained Reza.

"Ck, I forgot you're a man too. You'll definitely defend Kenzo." Felicia patted her own forehead.

"I want to be with my husband." Felicia got out of the chair. As she was about to step up, Reza prevented her.

"Where are you going?" Reza holds Felicia's wrist preventing her best friend from leaving.

"I want to be with my husband" Felicia replied.

"Youyou want to make her jealous of where I am here. Then why are you leaving now?" ask Felicia.

Felicia clucked as Reza reminded her of her mission. Felicia landed her ass back on the chair. However, upon seeing Kenzo leave, Felicia again got up from the chair and stepped away following Kenzo. Felicia kept going regardless of Reza's call.

"Felicia, where are you going?" ask Reza.

Felicia continued to step up while watching Kenzo. He was surprised when Kenzo walked out of the party.

"Where's Kenzo going?" inner Felicia.

Felicia's steps stopped when she reached the hallway near the ballroom. His eyes widened when he saw Kenzo talking to Vera. Felicia was very upset to see that. There is a fear in Felicia of Kenzo and Felicia's relationship, but Felicia tries to strengthen herself.

Felicia stepped her feet closer to hear what the two were talking about. Felicia hid her body behind one of the pillars so that Kenzo and Vera would not see her.

"I know you still love me, Kenzo. I know that?" said Vera.

Felicia sees Vera shaking Kenzo's body. His palms clenched to hold back his anger.

"How dare he touch my husband!" grouse Felicia.

"Kenzo's airshow!" pinta Vera's.

Felicia refocused on Vera and Kenzo. He was very curious about Kenzo's answer.

"Tell Kenzo if you still love me" urged Vera.

"Yes! I still love you" replied Kenzo.

Felicia shut her mouth when she heard Kenzo's words. He was very hopeful if his ears were troubled, but Kenzo repeated his words, making Felicia sure if he did not hear it wrong.

Drops upon drops of tears fell on Felicia's cheeks. His heart broke into many pieces. So all this time Kenzo was being nice to her just for the impingement.

"You are evil Kenzo" Felicia said softly.

Felicia decided to leave the place because she could not bear to see the heart-wrenching sight. However, Kenzo's voice again sounded and made Felicia's steps come to a halt.

"I still love you, Vera. But that was before I met and married Felicia" Kenzo said.

"I love Felicia so much, right now and for the rest of my life. I hope you understand. Don't ever expect me to come back to you. Because when you decide to marry another man, our relationship is over for good" Kenzo said.

Hearing the sentence Kenzo said made the pieces of Felicia's heart reunite. His grim face again blossomed, his smile dimming back, adorning his lips.

Felicia turned around with a sparkling face staring at Kenzo. Her tears of sadness turned into tears of happiness.

Meanwhile Kenzo was still staring at Vera with pity. He had no idea why the woman he knew so well had gone out of control.

Kenzo took a heavy breath and turned his head in the other direction. However, it was precisely his eyes catching Felicia's whereabouts not far from her place.

"Felicia" Kenzo muttered.

Kenzo kept staring at his wife until she was right in front of him. Kenzo was shocked to see Felicia crying.

"Felicia .. What's wrong? Why crying?" Kenzo wiped the tears that fell on Felicia's cheek.

Felicia shook her head with a downcast face.

"Mazo ...." Kenzo cupped both sides of Felicia's face and raised his face.

Kenzo's eyes met Felicia's wet eyes.

"I heard everything and I was moved." Felicia wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes followed by her laughter.

Kenzo smiled too. Without caring for Vera, Kenzo landed a kiss on Felicia's forehead and pulled the woman into her arms.

For a moment Felicia forgot about Vera and enjoyed her happiness that night required Kenzo. As Felicia recalled something she turned her eyes towards Vera.

"I don't know what you're up to tonight to get Kenzo. But you said that tonight I would know who Kenzo loved between us and now I know Vera's answer" Felica said.

"He loves me and I hope you've realized that Kenzo doesn't want to be with you anymore" Felicia said.

"That's a lie!" Vera did not accept what Felicia said.

"Kenzo! Don't lie about your own feelings." Vera urges Kenzo to love her again.

"I lied to myself by hiding my feelings for Felicia. But now I will no longer hide my feelings for Felicia, whether it's for myself, for you, or for everyone in the world" Felicia said.

"Kenzo —"

"Enough, Vera!" Kenzo stops Vera from speaking. "That's enough, Vera! We're over."

"Kenzo .. please .. I can't live without you" Vera said as she sobbed her sobs.

"Then learn to live without me. Like I learned to live without you" Kenzo said.

"Cenzo ...." Vera sobbed louder.

"Let's Feli, let's go," asked Kenzo who was immediately embraced by Felicia.

Kenzo wrapped his hands around Felicia's waist and took her away from the place, leaving Vera just like that.
