The Secret Heiress

Chapter 43: The Other Side

*Kent's POV*

I don't know the reason why she's here. I'm busy. Busy fixing the mess that they've made. One of the reasons why I couldn't see her  yet. I have to fixed this mess first.

"What do you want?"

I saw her smirked by my remark.

She step closer and stopped right in front of me.

"Um- let me think" she said while playing with her hair.

D*mn! She's pissing me off.

Kung hindi lang s'ya babae baka nasuntok ko na to.

"Well,I think I know what I want now."

Tinitignan ko s'yang mabuti habang hinihintay ang sasabihin n'ya.

"I.WANT.YOU. I want you Kent David." Sabay haplos ng braso .

I smiled. Ngiting binibigay ko sa mga fans ko.

If it's a game, then sorry, I can play better.

"I WANT YOU TOO."

Kitang-kita ang pagkabigla n'ya sa sinabi ko. Paniguradong hindi n'ya inaasahan na lalabas yun sa bibig ko. Nagliwanag ang mukha n'ya.

"K-Kent? Aren't you kidding?"

Hinawakan ko ang kamay n'ya na nasa braso ko.

"I want you too." I smiled. Then nakita ko na biglang sumigla ang aura n'ya.

"Yeah! Kent, I know that we have the same feelings, I know from the start that you really love m-"

Without a second thought I cut her off by removing her hands from my arm.

"Look Denise, 'I want you too'. I know that those were the words that you wanna hear, but I'm sorry I just can't."

Tapos bigla kong naisip si Dianne,and I smiled upon thinking about her.
Ano na kaya ang ginagawa n'ya ngayon?

'PAK! '

Isang malutong na sampal ang nakuha ko.

"H-How dare you! "
She said in a trembling voice.

"How can you do this to me?! "
Then tears starting to race down her face.

"I have it all Kent, beauty, intelligence, money.Name it all! But why can't you like me back, even with those possibilities?Huh?Tell me!"

Napabuntong hininga ako.
Ayokong nagpapa-iyak ng babae pero may mga pagkakataon pala talagang nagagawa mo ito ng hindi sinasadya. Dumukot ako ng panyo at inilahad sa kanya.

"That's right. You really are Denise. "

Tinabig n'ya ang kamay ko na may hawak na panyo.

"Stop it! " She yelled.

Humakbang ako palapit sa kanya at pinahid ang luha n'ya sabay lagay ng panyo sa kamay n'ya.

"You are beautiful. Intelligent. Rich. You deserve to love and to be loved."
I smiled. A comforting one.

"What you have for me wasn't love Denise. And trust me, it'll fade away very soon.I love someone and you know that. And when I love, I truly love. Someday, you'll understand me."

Alam ko na kaya ganito ang nararamdaman n'ya ngayon kasi hindi ako ang lalaking nakalaan para sa kanya. I belong to someone else and I know I belong to her---to Dianne.

"You're just saying that as an excuse! What a shame! " She said at the top of her lungs.

"Loving someone and saying you truly love them isn't an excuse. It's one way of proving that you really love them." 

She raised her brow.

Napabuntong hininga na naman ulit ako.

"I love her. " Then I gave her a genuine smile.

"And I know that you knew that. "

PAK

And I was slapped for the second time around and I know that she needs this and I deserve it. 

This time I can no longer see her tough side but instead, it's the fragile Denise that I'm seeing right now.

"You always do that."
She said in a small voice. More likely just talking to herself.

"Y-you people-- you always do that to me. "
And she burst in tears.

I'm about to catch her when I saw that she almost fell, but she was able to manage and punched me in the chest instead.

"Why do I always have to begged for love?---" she said in a hoarse voice.

"What I'm asking is just a little --a little appreciation and a little space in your lives. Why can't people do that? Is it too much? "

Her tears are flowing continuously as she said those words, and I don't know, but I can feel her pain as she look at me with those eyes.

"Even at the very beginning that's what I've been asking yet look at me now? Still asking--oh! I think the word begging suits it better. I'm still begging for it. Still begging for affection and love. Still begging for everything--for everyone. "

Out of my instincts, I hug her to make her feel a little at ease.

"You know what? You don't have to beg for it---"

This time she hugs me back.

"People loves you Denise, you just have to be open and feel it. Sometimes, we tend to overthink that's why instead of making people closer to us ,we choose to push them away."

She even cried while I'm saying those words.

"C'mon. Cheer-up Denise."

By hearing that, she quickly freed herself from my embrace.

"Ew! Why am I crying over you. You're not that handsome ya know?" She then flips her hair that made me  chuckle. 

She was able to change her mood easily and I think that's a good thing. Hopefully.

"You sure about that?"I asked teasingly.

She looked at me in disbelief, with her eyes wide open.

"Y-you're unbelievable Kent." She then slightly smacked my arms. And after that, we just burst into laughter.

Nakakatuwa lang isipin na sa kabila ng mga ginagawa at ipinapakitang ugali ni Denise ay meron pala s'yang ganitong side. 

Hindi ko tuloy magawang hindi malungkot sa sinabi n'ya. Aminado ako ng may ugali si Denise na minsan ay hindi madaling intindihin, umabot pa nga sa punto na nagawa n'yang makipagsabwatan para lang siraan si Dianne, pero sa kabila nun ay meron pa rin pala talaga s'yang tinatagong kabutihan.

"Hey."

Tumigil s'ya sa pagtawa at biglang tumingin sa akin ng seryoso.

"I have something to tell you."

Katahimikan ang pumalibot sa paligid nang sinabi n'ya ang mga salitang yun.

"Kent----"

This time, napa seryoso ako habang pinapakinggan ang mga sinasabi n'ya.

"--I'm going home."
