I Want to Be Loved

Two Hundred Seventeen

The opening party of the new hotel attended by Felicia and Kenzo had already started a while ago. The party that coincides with the day of affection was dominated by heart-shaped balloons with red and pink look so beautiful, plus red roses that adorn every corner of the room add to the romantic atmosphere.

Everyone looked very happy and happy with the party, especially Felicia. According to Felicia the party brought good luck to her relationship with Kenzo.One word to describe the feeling when Felicia was happy.

How not to be happy? Her husband has already revealed the word love. Kenzo didn't tell her directly, but that was enough to make Felicia happy.

Not only Felicia, Kenzo is just as happy as Felicia. Although he was upset with Vera, but because of that he became aware and sure of his feelings for Felicia.

Throughout the party, their hands fused so tightly. Their fused hands filled every space between their fingers, there was not the slightest space let alone for the third person.

"Ehem."

Felicia and Kenzo turned to the origin of the voice. They saw Reza was near them. Felicia smiles at Reza's arrival, but not with Kenzo. A cold aura always comes to Kenzo when he sees Reza.

"Hi, Reza," said Felicia.

"Good, I've been looking for you and you're here. Make out with your husband" said Reza.

"Sorry —" Felicia's words were cut because Kenzo interrupted her.

"What are you looking for?" Kenzo asked in a tinge.

"That's because he just left. I'm just worried about him" replied Reza.

"There I am here. So I don't think you need to worry about him" Kenzo said.

Reza actually knew from the way Kenzo spoke it was clear that Kenzo did not like his existence.

"Yes that's right." Reza scratched his temple using his index finger.

"Then why are you here?" ask Kenzo.

"Kenzo, why are you acting like that to Reza?" Felicia shook her head.

"What indeed. Is your best friend happy to be the third person" Kenzo said.

"Kenzo!" Felicia opened her eyes hinting at Kenzo to be quiet.

Seeing the husband-wife debate makes Reza not feel good on her own. So Reza decided to leave.

"Okay, okay. I'm gonna go. You guys don't argue anymore" Reza said.

"Faster, better," said Kenzo.

Reza simply responded to Kenzo with a smile and a small laugh. He understood the attitude Kenzo showed him.

Reza's view leads to Felicia. Before leaving Reza first greeted his best friend from childhood.

"All right, I'll go first. See you soon." Reza waved his hand to Felicia.

"See you." Felicia also waved her hand to Reza.

Felicia watched Reza leave. When she remembered something Felicia called Reza who immediately made Reza stop stepping and turned back to her back.

"Kenzo, I want to talk to Reza for a minute" Felicia said.

"What do you want to talk to him about?" Kenzo prevents Felicia from leaving.

"It's nothing" Felicia replied.

Felicia saw her husband's face look fierce. She knew that her husband must be upset.

"Ck, Honey." Felicia rubbed the side of her husband's face to keep him from getting angry. "I only talked to him for a minute."

"All right, go ahead. It's free for me to ban you because you won't listen to me either" Kenzo said.

"You're so sweet when you're angry." After saying that line, Felicia stepped up to approach Reza.

"Reza." Felicia pulls Reza to get a little away from Kenzo.

"What's up, Feli?" ask Reza.

"I want to thank you" Felicia replied.

"Thank you for what?" Reza asked Felicia again.

"Thank you for coming all the way here. I'm sorry to bother you," said Felicia.

"Thank you for helping me to do that ridiculous thing" Felicia said.

"Felicia, I told you not to bother me. If I could I would do anything to make jamu happy" Reza said.

"But now we don't have to do that anymore" Felicia said.

"No, Reza. Because I've heard it myself, he says he loves me" Felicia explained.

"really?" ask Reza.

Felicia nods and tells Reza what happened between Kenzo and Vera.

"Wow, that's good, Feli!" exciting Reza.

Felicia breathed so much relief. "Yes, Reza. I'm so happy."

"Congratulations. May you always be happy." Reza rubbed the side of Felicia's shoulder.

Felicia and Reza chatted while occasionally laughing in between their chatter, but the two did not know if it was not far from where they were standing Kenzo was staring at them with sharp eyes. Kenzo looks so upset when he sees Felicia chatting with Reza. The anger grew when he saw Reza rubbing Felicia's shoulder. Unable to bear seeing that, Kenzo chose to approach Felicia.

"Feli," call Kenzo.

Felicia turned to the origin of the voice, as well as Reza.

"When you're with this friend of yours, you forget about your husband." Kenzo pulls Felicia to his side because he doesn't want his wife to be close to Reza any longer.

"Sorry" Felicia said.

"Are you feeling jealous of me, Kenzo?" reza Ledek.

Kenzo chose silence. He was too proud to say he was jealous.

"Seeing from the look on your face I can tell if you're jealous" Reza said.

Kenzo didn't say anything. He just snorted and felt annoyed.

"Don't forget, Kenzo. I am also a man. So I can tell you what you're feeling" Reza said.

"Have you finished talking? Can we go?" asked Kenzo in a cold tone.

"OK, okay, please. I won't bother you anymore" Reza said with a laugh.

"Come, Feli. I'd like to introduce you to my other co-workers" asked Kenzo, who Felicia immediately took in.

"Byeah, Reza." Felicia waved her hand at Reza and was replied by Reza.

Kenzo and Felicia were about to step up, but their steps came to a halt when they heard the shrill voices of a man and a woman. They were the hosts of the party.

"Good night all," exclaimed the two hosts.

Not only Kenzo and Felicia, everyone who was at the party turned to the origin of the voice. They all focused on the host standing on the stage not far away from them.

"How are you guys enjoying the party tonight?" ask the host of the show to everyone.

"Yes!" Everyone exclaimed in response to the question from the host.

"Alright, then we move on to the next event" said the host.

"Because this feast coincides with the day of affection. So we want to ask some of you to express your affection to your partner, friends, or both parents" said the host.

"But before that, we'd like to ask ...." The host at the party circulated his gaze to look for someone he would ask a question about.

"To Mr. Kenzo Pramuja." The host pointed to Kenzo.

Kenzo of course felt shocked and confused as the host mentioned his name.

"All right, Mr. Kenzo. I'd like to ask you. What does love mean to you?" ask the host.

Huh!

Kenzo gawked at the statement from the host. Damn it himself! Why did the host also ask about such a non-quality statement.

One of the hosts stepped off the stage to approach Kenzo.

"Come Mr Kenzo we want your opinion?" The host gave Kenzo a mic.

Kenzo hesitates to receive the mic given by the host. He felt like cursing and running away from the place that very second. However, Kenzo could not do that. Many of his business associates were present. What would they say if they did that. Forced Kenzo had to answer statements that sounded easy and silly, but it was undeniably difficult to answer by him.

"Come, Kenzo. I also want to hear your opinion," whispered Felicia.

Kenzo clucked first before bringing the mic closer to his mouth.

"Ar-ti cin-ta .. in my opinion ...." Kenzo hesitated and was confused to answer.

When everyone wanted to hear Kenzo's answer, suddenly the lights in the room dimmed. Not to lose their surprise at the lights that suddenly died, they were again surprised by the large screen that lit up. On the screen it clearly shows Kenzo's past photos with Vera.

Kenzo himself was very surprised by this. He held his wife's hand tightly. Kenzo hopes his wife's heart isn't hurt by seeing all the images of her past with Vera.
