CHAPTER 49: KENZO NOTICES THAT AMELIA STILL HAD FEELINGS FOR BLAIKE
KENZO SMITH'S POINT OF VIEW
"Renzo, " a voice called me. "So how are you and Amelia?" He immediately asked me.
I looked to see who was talking it was Blaike.
I can't believe that I could see him again...
It is been three years since the last time that I saw him. He was like a brother to me when we are still both working in the underground society. After the news that someone took him, we have no news about him.
"How long have you been in here? Why didn't you contact us? What happened to you?" I asked him one after another question.
I ignores the question he was asking me. I was more concerned about what happened to him.
I just care about him because back then he was like a brother to me.
"When was your wedding day?" He asked me.
How does he knows that I am getting married?
Why he is more concerned about that?
Is he still love Amelia?
I think I would just gonna brush off all his questions and keeps asking what happened to him. I am not comfortable talking about Amelia and especially our wedding.
"Your father said that I should look after you. I've been finding you all these years, but I failed. Where did you hide all these years?" I stated.
I keeps changing the topic as he asked me multiple questions about my upcoming wedding. I just didn't want to answer any of his questions. That is why I was ignoring all his questions and kept on changing the topic and keep asking him random questions.
I was not comfortable talking about our wedding or Amelia. Since I know that he had loved Amelia in the past, I don't know if he still loves amelia.
I can't blame Blaike since Amelia filed a case about him. Since Blaike is the victim of his father. Blaike was accused of killing Amelia's father, even Blaike didn't want to do it, he have to. Blaike was just a victim of the cruel world where we all grew up.
Back then, he loves Amelia very much. But he can't do anything about it. Because he was born different from Amelia's world. They have both differences that keep drifting them apart from each other.
If Blaike still loves Amelia, it is fine with me. Because I know that in the first place Amelia was never been, and would never be mine. We are just getting married because of an arranged marriage.
I didn't know if Amelia learns to love me after all these three years of being engaged. But all I know is that my feelings for Amelia were true and real. My feelings for her were so deep, that I loved her more than myself.
"Do you love her?" Blaike asked me.
I was stunt on what he asked me...
I didn't expect that he would be asked me that kind of question...
I just keep my mouth shut and keep quiet. I didn't respond for a minute and looked away. I avoid eye contact with him.
I looked away because I didn't want to answer that.
Because I don't want to be hurt by Blaike. By telling me he still loves Amelia.
"Do you love Amelia?" he asked me once again.
"Yes!" I answered and looked away.
I didn't expect myself to say that...
I looked at Blaike because he became quiet...
I could see the pain in his eyes. Pain that I also had when I was with Amelia. Pain that I had been feeling all these years knowing that my fiancee loved another man.
I didn't want to blame Amelia for loving Blaike while being engaged with me. Because in the first place we just both agreed to get engaged because of our parent's arrangements. Amelia didn't love me at all she just agreed because her dead parents promised it to my mother that is why.
I just took a deep breath and sighed...
When Blaike and Amelia were still in a relationship. I had some secret feelings towards Amelia, even though I know she was with Blaike. I just can not help falling in love with someone like her.
Amelia was a piece of diamond that should be taken care of. She was a diamond that should not be wasted.
I know that back then I loved the person that didn't belong to me. I admired the person that loved someone else. It was my fault for loving someone who already love someone else.
Amelia was such a nice and sweet woman. Every man would fall in love with her charm. That is why I also fall in love with her.
I loved Amelia so much, more than my life...
All these years I loved her secretly...
"I wanted you to take good care of her. Love her, more than you love yourself. Always court her even if you are both married. Treasure her like a gem, that you should never be lost. Make her the most valuable treasure that you could have in your life. Make her your world once you married her, " he happily told me.
I just stared at him as he said those words. Because from the looks in his eyes that it just was obvious, that he still loves Amelia.
I can sense the deep pain inside him. His eyes could never lie because just one look at his eyes I know it. That pain that I can see through his eyes, was also the same pain that I am feeling three years ago.
I can see that he still loves Amelia...
"Do you still love her?" I asked myself.
He stopped for a second and answered me. "Yes!"
His answer made my whole world shattered into a million pieces. It feels like sharp knives were pointing into my heart. I felt a heart ached arose inside of my chest.
His words added more pain than was feeling.
I know that Amelia must not love Blaike. Since it is been three years since they both saw each other. And also Amelia didn't want anything to do with Blaike, since Amelia believed that Blaike killed her parents. Even I know that Amelia must be loved by someone else. It still hurts me, knowing that I am here on Amelia's side for the whole three years, but she can not even love back.
I just felt myself suffer inside asking that dumb questions on Blaike.
Why did I even ask?
When it was obvious that Blaike was still in love with Amelia.
"I'm sorry!" I apologize.
Because at this moment we both know, that we both loved Amelia.
I am just sorry because I take Amelia away from him. But I would do everything to make Amelia mine no matter what.
"Don't be sorry! I wanted to entrust you with Amelia. I would be leaving again soon, and you would not see me again. I just wanted to make sure that Amelia would be okay and in good hands. I know that if she was with you, you would take good care of her. I am happy for the both of you for your upcoming wedding, " he happily stated and smiled at me.
I felt relief hearing those words from him.
I know that Amelia must have moved on from Blaike.
But I am still afraid that Amelia would leave me for Blaike. I am afraid that Amelia would leave me and abandon me.
I know myself that I can't fight against Blaike. Because Amelia once told me that Blaike was her first love, that she would never forget, no matter what.
"I promised that I would take good care of Amelia. I would never let anyone harm her. She would become my world, and treat her my queen. I would give her my world. I would treat her the way she deserves to be treated, " I replied to him.
He smiled at what I said to him...
He seems happy that he would see Amelia be taken care of...
I would make sure that Amelia would be happy by my side until my last breath...
"Could you do me one favor?" He asked me.
"What is that?" I asked him.
"Could I witness your wedding from afar?" He asked me.
"Of course! I would text you the address and email you the wedding invitation, " I said.
I am happy that he is happy for me and Amelia's upcoming wedding...
"Could I ask for one more favor?" I asked.
"Of course!" I stated.
"Could I see Amelia for the last time and talked to her?" He asked me.
His favor shocked me...
But I would make it happen since after this he would go far away again. And we could never see him again.
"Of course!" I replied and forced a smile.
"Okay! Same time, in here also. Thank you so much, Renzo!" He thanked me.
**************************************
When I got home I sat down on our black cozy sofa.
While I was driving on the way home. I was thinking if I still should let Amelia see Blaike.
I am still afraid that I would lose Amelia...
But since it is the last time they would see each other. I must let them see each other again.
Even I know that my heart would be shattered into a million pieces. I could not just stop everything that just happen.
"Amelia, " I softly called her name.
I took a deep breath and sighed.
I handed her a piece of paper written with the time and place where she should see Blaike.
"What is this?" She asked me as she raised her left eyebrow.
She seems confused...
"Blaike wanted to see you, " I stated.
"Really? Where is he?" She excitedly asked me.
I can see the excitement and happiness inside Amelia's eyes.
I can see from Amelia's eyes that she still loves Blaike...
Eyes never lie...
"Meet Blaike at that address.."
