Hello, Kenzo

Mishaps

My heart felt like it was going to burst with joy at the moment, all my worries just went away. I could feel my chest breathing and lighter.

I never hated kids; it was just that the time wasn't right, the moment wasn't right, and I couldn't bear to ruin Kenzo's life because he had to give up his studies and his chance to have a good life when he had responsibility.

"You are happy," said Nai, relief could be seen all over her face, her hand clutching her chest and panting while leaning against the door of the comfort room.

"Probably you should be happy too; you won't be a godmother yet."

I quickly came out of the bathroom and checked the ten kits lined up in the lavatory sink, and it was like a thorn was pulled out of my lungs when I saw that they were all negative.

“NEGATIVE! "I said in a shrill cry, I wanted to dance in so much happiness.

"Whatever Stella..." Nai exhaled.

"Shut up, Nai! Don't look at me as if you have never done it. Why do you always buy pregnancy tests?”

"It was for my sister, I'm always being ordered!"

An intense sense of shame enveloped my body when I heard that. "So, what..."

"Yes, I'm still a virgin! But my brain is already polluted, so it's okay. Soon, when I get married and find the one, I won't be stopped from enjoying all the pleasure, until then, I'll have to prepare for it!" Nai smiled.

"Just Nai, let's keep it a secret for now!"

"Yes, I know! You don't have to say it over and over again. Oh, I'm already late for school. As for you, rest, ok? See you at school again tomorrow, and please, as long as you can bear it, keep it once a week, or maybe twice for s****l activities with Kenzo if you are not ready yet. I cannot die due to a nervous attack yet, I cannot imagine the horrific scene you could end up in if the result was positive. Most likely, there will be a lot of trouble when his witch sister finds out, and the circle of friends who used to be your friends for life!" Nai begged me, almost pleading to remind me of the consequences of my choices in life.

We went out of the public comfort room and returned to my car, but instead of going straight to school, I decided to stop by a fast food restaurant and make a fast order.

"Here's my card; order whatever treats you want for you, the faculties, and the children," I said to Nai with a smile. "It was just snacks and those are not bribe!"

"Hey, this is too much, people at school might find this unusual, you're secret as a damn secret billionaire could be exposed!" Nai was persistent about her claims about me being a billionaire.

"Give it up, Nai. Look, I am not a secret billionaire, and I am not hiding anything; I just chose to be simple. Whatever I give now that is because I want to. So, go get your orders and have them deliver it at school.”

I watched Nai run inside the restaurant and I couldn't stop smiling. My chest felt so much joy, I wanted to rush to Kenzo's arms and make love to him but I had to be careful now. Soon, the time would come that I do not have to control anymore, or be afraid anymore. I could not wait for that time to come.

Nai didn't stay long inside the restaurant, and I saw her immediately running back to where my car was parked.

"All set, Madame!" Nai mocked me yet her eyes were filled with joy.

"Sop it Nai; where is my card?”

"O, here I thought you'd give me this one because you have more!" Nai kept kidding around before her smile turned into a serious face. "I'm sorry about everything!"

"Don't worry, I'm not mad at you," I said and drove off.

The trip only took a few minutes. We immediately arrived at the school, and Nai quickly said goodbye because it was around nine in the morning and second period was about to start.

“BYE! " Nai yelled, waving her hand happily before running inside.

I let out a deep sigh while thinking of something nice to buy and cook so I could make up for Kenzo.

But just as I was getting back into my car, a strong slap shook my face.

I let go of the car's door and straightened up again, and then Dani appeared in front of me, furious.

"Dani? Why?” I said, my voice shaking; all the joy I had earlier was like a bubble that disappeared in an instant.

But instead of answering, she forcefully put me in the car, and then she plopped in the passenger's seat. "To my apartment!" she shouted.

The events still shocked me that my brain didn't process what she said.

"I said! Let's go to my apartment!” she repeated, and that's when I seemed to come to my senses and quickly started the car and headed to Dani's apartment.

When I got there, I felt like a piece of trash when I was dragged out of the car and up to her apartment.

I could feel the strong emotions she was holding back while we were in the elevator, so even a single glance, she would not even dare. My heart sank in anticipation that she might have already known about my relationship with Kenzo.

When the signal sounded that we arrived on the floor of Dani's apartment, she dragged me out again of the elevator, I could not do anything about it. No one was to be blamed but me.

"What got into your head, Stella, and you had a relationship with a boy seven years younger than you?” Dani shrieked as she almost threw me into her room when the door opened.

She slammed the door shut behind her and aggressively threw her bag and keys on the sofa. Severe depression enveloped my body, even though I expected her rage about it.

"My god, Stella! You never learned! You are rich, you have a brain, but when it comes to love, you are very stupid! Fuckshit! Did you really think that Kenzo truly loves you? You're just being used! Wake up, Stella! I can't really imagine that you would end up this pathetic. Why? Was it because of Dein? You are worse than a w***e!” Dani was out of her anger and I could feel the bitterness in every word she said, but fuckshit! I'm not a saint just to ignore everything she said!

I rushed to her and sent her face a strong slap.

"Yes, Dani, you are my best friend! Yes, you have witnessed all my suffering. Yes, you were there during the times when I was devastated, but that's not enough to make you think you have the right to judge me with such hurtful words! I didn't ask you to support me here; that's why I didn't let you know; just respect me! f**k you too! For a long time, I longed to be happy, to feel loved without having to beg, and then you'd just criticize me like I'm a piece of dirt. f**k you! You don't know anything!" I pointed at her while my hands were shaking too much and my tears were flowing.

I never thought that Dani and I would reach this point—it was very painful!

"Shut up, Stella! Happiness? Why is Vri still lacking? Just admit it, you just can't last long without a man in your life! We were all worried last time when Vri got sick, your daughter almost ran out of breath calling you when we were in the hospital, but no one knew your whereabouts. Only for me to find out how you almost hauled the whole supermarket to bribe Kenzo's family in order to like you? f**k you! No matter how many thousands, millions, or billions you give, if you are loved, you will be loved!”

"How did you know?"

"How did I know? Gosh! Your friends who are also my friends; Gab and Nina told me everything."

The anger was overwhelming me now, I didn't expect them to team up and hurt me."

"It's easy to say and easy to judge because you're not in my position."

"Not in your position? What is your position? In love?”

“Yes! Have you ever experienced love or be loved?! " I gritted the words through my teeth, I felt like losing all my senses.

Good thing I'm not pregnant because if it happened, the child might have died from the intensity of my anger.

“Wow! You've got deep into Kenzo! "Dani lamented, then violently wiped the tears from her cheeks. "You know what, I'm getting married! You've been gone for so long that you don't have any news. I'm about to get married and I went to your apartment, a boy greeted me, saying you've already gone to school. I didn't even bother to ask what the relationship was with you because I might have ended up saying worse things. But instead of seeing you at school, I saw you with Nai in a public comfort room, I followed you, because I felt different, and I heard all your conversations! Only what a fate Stella, by chance Vri could have a sister or brother by now. I was so shocked, that I called Gab and yes, I know everything. What would have been my happy news, was replaced by extreme annoyance and disappointment! Your mother will find out!” Dani ended with words that shattered my heart.

"What?"

"They'll know everything about your stupidity. At least, I get to prepare them for taking care of another grandchild, because that is what you do best, get pregnant and leave behind the child!"

My body felt numb for a moment. How could they all be so horrible to me?

"You are not to say anything, Dani!" I threatened her

"Or else what? I'm not afraid, Stella! If I have to hurt you to save you, I'll do it!” Dani affirmed.

"I will make it happen, Dani, I am not joking!"

“Wow! You are crazy! You don't even feel sorry for those people you are hurting because you fell in love with someone out of the norm!"

"Hon!" a man interrupted us, entering the apartment, and making Dani stop talking.

I just gave Dani a bad look and walked away.

“WAIT! "Dani chased, but I didn't care anymore.

I quickly got out of the building and didn't even try to look at Dani. I was just walking straight to the taxi when suddenly I heard Dani's scream.

I slowly faced back at her, and the world seemed to stop at that time. Even though my breathing seemed to slow down and an intense silence enveloped the environment, I could only hear my heartbeat.

"D...Da...Dani," I tried to call her, but nothing seemed to come out of my mouth.

Only tears and weak sorrows washed over my body, and Dani's scream filled my ears.

"Go away! Go away! It's all your fault!” Dani exclaimed while hugging her fiancé, who was lying on the road and bathed in blood.

"I didn't mean it. I didn't. Sorry, Dani! Sorry!”

People started to swarm around, some were buzzing about how unfortunate the man got into an accident while following Dani.

My hands were shaking, and I quickly called an ambulance to rush Dani's husband to the hospital.

No matter how much Dani pushed me away I stayed by her side to support her because it was unlikely that she would be able to think properly in the wake of what had happened.

Because of my membership in the medical union, it was not difficult to find a doctor who responded immediately.

We were outside the operating room for more than three hours when the doctor finally came out and gave the sad news.

"He is stable, but he is in a coma."
