Chapter 54
"Baby, enough. I am here.. for you." Kenzo told me and then he handed me a glass of water but I just shook my head and then looked at my feet.
"Alright, to take care of you. You've been crying a while now. Look at your little eyes." And then he wiped my tears. I immediately hugged him.
"Why is that.. why is that Kenzo? His simple words make me feel so much pain?" He cupped my face and then pressed our foreheads together.
"Baby, because we both know that you still love him very much." Kenzo said sadly.
"I'm tired of loving him, I'm tired of being hurt too."
"I'm here because you just love me." And then Kenzo's voice broke out. "I will never leave you and I will never marry anyone else, I will only marry you."
"If it's possible.. if it's possible, I would have loved you for a long time. Maybe I shouldn't just ask you for an engagement, but for marriage right away. In fact, Kenzo has already left me and taken everything, including my heart, with him. when he and Aria left."

I woke up with Kenzo in my arms, he was here too he slept Urgh! My head hurts, I'm going to cry. I stared at Kenzo who was sound asleep.
Yes, he's handsome and I also know that many women like him, so until now I've been asking myself why we're only fvck buddies? He always tells me that he loves me, yes I care for him and I like him but that's it.
He slowly removed his arm wrapped around my waist and then I went to bathroom, I looked at my face in the mirror and smiled bitterly.
I cried again to the man who didn't love me and would never be mine. Kent is married to Aria and they'll forever be together forever no space for me. No matter how dense I am.
I washed and looked at the wall clock its five-thirty AM and I was hungry. For sure, they slept at night, so no one is awake. I got down and went straight to the kitchen. I caught up with Manang Renee cutting meat, maybe for breakfast later.
"Good morning, Kylie. You woke up early today."
"Morning too, yes." And then Manang Renee offered me coffee, I nodded. Maybe my headache from crying last night will go away if I drink coffee.
I also know that Manang also knows what happened last night and his tongue is biting if he asks what happened after going up to my room with Kenzo.
"Manang.." I got his attention when I called him. After he asked me 'what's that', I didn't immediately answer. Because I don't know how to start my question to him.
She has been with us since I was a child and we treat her as a part of our family. As far as I remember, he used to serve Mommy's parents. I also know that he is worried about Daddy and Mommy, especially me that the change was so sudden after Kent and Aria get married.
Manang Renee left what she was cutting before she came to me and smiled. "I still remember your Mommy when she was your age, she was like that, you were like that when she was." I frowned while Manang Renee continued her story.
"Your mommy rebelled against her parents because they didn't like your daddy, but she was already pregnant with you. I thought that your mommy and daddy would never live together because he had another woman your Daddy even though he also knows that your Mommy is pregnant with you."
"Aria's mommy?" Manang Renee nodded to my question and then she continued to tell the story.
"I don't know the whole story, but one day your Mommy came home with your Daddy and your Grandparents didn't do anything when they said they were married to your Daddy, months passed and the Grandfather also accepted Your Grandmother is your Daddy. Everything is okay and you have been born until one day my a woman is looking for your Daddy." I seem to know what will happen next in Manang Renee's story.
"Aria came to our house, her Mommy left her with your Daddy. Your Daddy didn't know what to do with her, your Mommy even made her choose between you or Aria, of course your Daddy chose you and she was forced leave Aria with her parents and the rest is history."
"Why did Aria's mommy die?" Until now, I still don't really know why he diedhis mommy Once I asked Mommy before, before but she said she didn't want to talk about it so I didn't try to ask her again when it was Daddy I didn't know what her answer would be.
"I'm sick because Aria's mommy got sick because of her work." Manang Renee said sadly.
"So what does Aria's mommy do?" Manang Renee took a deep breath and then she smiled at me but did not escape her eyes I also see the sadness in his eyes. Is he sad for Aria's Mommy? But why?
--
"Baby, where do you want to go now?" Kenzo asked me. I was inside my walk in closet while he was sitting on my bed. last night, I forced him not to go to Aria's party, I didn't want to make a scene that was what was on my mind last night but after hearing Manang Renee's story, I don't know what to do.
Again if I glanced at myself in the large mirror of my walk in closet and then I went out. I called Kenzo and he frowned like that when he saw me wearing the cocktail we bought yesterday.
"I thought.." I didn't let him finish speaking. Just get dressed, I'll wait for you here. He just shrugged his shoulders and then he smiled at me and also entered my walk in closet. It wasn't long before we were on our way to the Clubhouse at Camp John Hay. I sigh. I won't make a scene and I won't fight with Aria even more. I will really try my best to be with him, but it's not in my mind to forgive him, though-
"That's why it's like taking pity on you Kylie, Hija.. I'm going to apologize to you for what Aria did to you in the past, it just takes a little time so you can forgive her." I immediately shook my head. No! This is not the time to worry about things, I need to focus on what I will do later, I need to be patient for later.
"Baby.." I looked at Kenzo. He held my hand so I smiled too.
"I am really happy that we'll go there and celebrate with them. Think of this as your first step, first step on how to move on from the past." Kenzo said as I nodded and then I looked back at the road.
Right. I need to move on. I really really need to move on. Time flies and time speeds up. I will not allow myself to be left in pain again so I really need to move on.
