Chapter 53

Chapter 53
Silence filled the whole dining room, maybe even our breathing was embarrassed by the silence so I couldn't even hear it. I looked back and forth between the engagement ring and... Kent. NO! What I mean is.. uhh.. to.. to Aria and my engagement ring. I sigh. And then returned to sitting again.
"So you're engaged?" Jiro was the first to recover from everyone's loss. I nodded.
"Is he?" Aria asked again and now her attention was on Kenzo. Annoyance immediately flooded my system. I feel that he also wants to snatch Kenzo from me. I tightened my grip on the spoon and fork I was holding and without thinking twice-
"Why? Do you also want to snatch him from me?" I asked nonchalantly. I also met his gaze and I could clearly see the surprise in his eyes. He also immediately avoided looking at me and turned away sight of his food.
"Kylie." Dad called me. Maybe he's trying to stop me from doing something else
"I am just asking.." He answered weakly.
"Kylie, son, why didn't your Daddy even tell us that you were engaged? Since when?" Mommy asked me happily and excitedly. He even smiled at Kenzo.
"Before anything else, Jiro, Aria.. uhhmmm K-Kent, this is Kenzo my fiancée." Jiro and Kenzo nodded while Aria smiled at Kenzo and said 'nice to meet you' I couldn't help but feel sad.
"And Mom about me getting engaged just last night." And I continued eating, but I couldn't help but be saddened by Aria's interview with Kenzo.
"So, Kenzo where did you and sissy meet?" Aria
"At Spade Club's parking lot." I saw Aria's smile widen that indicates she wants this topic to go on. "How?" He asked excitedly.
"Uhh.." And then Kenzo looked at me. I knew that look! He's asking me if he'll tell them how we met.
"Kenzo thought that Kylie stole his wallet that night. Kylie got jailed and we bailed her." Daddy said seriously. All eyes on him, I didn't know that he still remembers it. It's been two years, though. Aria nodded and continued asking questions.
"That's cool! It's like a scene from one of those teleserye's that I am dreaming to happen in real life. It's exciting and not cliché. If maybe Kent and I weren't married yet, I wanted to be in your shoes sissy, want I also went to jail and met someone like Kenzo. I saw you posted a photo before, on IG. Is that the time you got in jail? I really wanted to like it but I am shy, since you.. know, we' we're not in good terms at that time." Aria said continuously.
Violent if released spoon and fork in my hands. One fell on the table while the other was on the floor. And then I turned a bad look at Aria, I couldn't hide the annoyance I felt for her. She is so close!
He shows everyone that everything is fine! She's acting like everything is fine, especially between the two of us! I am not plastic like her, I can never pretend that everything is fine especially when it really isn't!
"First of all Aria, I don't need your freakin' like! I have a lot of likers and if I lose all my likers, I still won't accept your like! I rather delete my Instagram account. Second, you wanted to be in my shoes? Are you sure?! You want Dad's attention right? And you also want my Mommy to be a Mommy, right? You got Daddy's attention, that's enough! You don't have to be my Mommy anymore! He's only mine! Even when you really want to grab everything I have! Jiro first, Kent second! Then Daddy then Mommy and now you want Kenzo, too? Really? Aren't you tired of your grabbing? Kent is your husband!"
And then I stand up, I'm leaving! I'm not here anymore, this dinner with them is such a fvcking disaster! I saw in my peripheral vision Kenzo standing up and saying 'excuse me'. But before I could finally leave the dining room, I heard Aria speak again.
"I admit, I was childish before and I really wanted to take everything that you have before because I'm jealous of you. Everything I want is in you. Daddy, then you are my Mommy, I'm gone, I'm always with Grandma and Grandpa. I also wanted a complete family but I know if you don't want me, I can feel it because it's the first time we've seen each other. I am really jealous of you, you are also my friends who obviously love you and will never leave you unlike me, if I don't include them in my get aways and buy them Even if I have them, I will lose them. I want some real friends too, I envy you Kylie."
"And I loathe you Aria."
"I know. I know.." And I heard Aria's voice break, indicating that she's crying. But that was the shock I felt when he did the next thing, he hugged me very tightly.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry.. I'm really really sorry.. sorry Kylie." He kept telling me while hugging me. My shoulders are wet with her tears stop.
I didn't think twice, there's no room of forgiveness in me so I pushed her, I saw the speed of Kent's movement, so before Aria fell to the floor Kent caught her. I immediately felt the knife repeatedly stabbing my heart, the pain, so much pain.
All the pain I've felt for the past two years and up until now has returned to my entire system and I have no idea how to get rid of it.
"Kylie.." Kenzo called me and then he supported me, I also feel like I was about to fall if he didn't support me.
The pain of seeing the person you love since then until now is comforted by someone else.
I bit my lower lip, trying to stop myself from crying but I couldn't handle the pain I was feeling now so in the end I faced Kenzo completely and then I cried into his chest, I felt his hug mine. "You don't have to push her away, Kylie. You can tell her straight to her face that you can't forgive her not like this that you have to fvcking hurt her."
I stopped crying and met the man who owned the voice, he was hugging Aria while Aria was crying on his chest.
Cool. So, I'm the bad one here again and Aria is the damsel in distress. Fuck this life!
