HE/HEROINE AND MY VILLAINESS

(SEE YOU)

-MARQUIS RESIDENCE-

*Vendia Guest room*

"Sir Aloit!" Vendia calls at Sir Aloit. She went over to him, then hug him as Sir Aloit hugs her back. They let go of each other after a second, and they both sit down on a separate couch.

"You look wonderful at your dress?" Sir Aloit compliment her,

"Thank you, Je Je Je, is there something wrong?" She asks, upon seeing Sir Aloit's bothered expression.

"Nothing is wrong," Sir Aloit reply, as he looks straight at Vendia,

"Are you sure? Your expression shows the other way around," She responds, not convince of Sir Aloit's response.

"Your father," Sir Aloit open up the conversation,

"Yes?"

"He told me everything that happened to you while I was away," He mentions, and Vendia got taken back and went speechless for a minute.

"Uh… then," Vendia can't gather a perfect response yet,

"I'm sorry," Sir Aloit apologies, as he looks at her full of guilt.

"What?" Vendia reply, confused.

"I'm sorry that I wasn't here to protect you and, thank you for coming back to them. Your father told me you were no longer breathing when he brings you back home at the mansion," he confesses,

'True, in the original story, Vendia supposed to be dead already. Then Cathlen and Prince Adam will get married, have children, then the end. But because of me, her body becomes my savior, and everyone thinks she's still around with them. But the truth that she is no longer around this world anymore. And the person who here now with them is me, Yerre, but I can't tell them that, do I?' She thought, felt sad.

"Uh, wait, Sir Aloit," She doesn't know what to reply,

"They didn't tell you base on your reaction," he responds,

"I…" She looks at him, speechless.

'Wait, Prince Adam said the other day that, Cathlen is already engaged to him. Then that means. I can live life here without worrying about tomorrow, and I can find Alda without interruption. YAS! Oh, right? I almost forgot we are having an emotional moment right now,' She thought,

"Looking at you today, I can't help but cry…" Sir Aloit speak out his feelings towards Vendia as tears go out to his eyes like a flowing river.

"Sir Aloit…" She looks at Sir Aloit with pity feels sad, for she is not Vendia. The real Vendia already passed away.

'I wish you could hear their apologies for you, Vendia,' She thought,

"Ahh… I'm sorry *sobs* HA HA HA, sorry *sniff*" Sir Aloit apologies covering his face with both hands, looking down as he continues crying out all his emotions.

"Sir Aloit…" Vendia doesn't know what to say.

"*sniff* Sorry, did I make you uncomfortable? Sorry… *sniff* I can't stop myself from crying seeing you well now," He mentioned, as Vendia smiled at him. Then a sudden voice of a woman crying interrupts their moment. Vendia looks to where the sound leads to, and she saw Mary on the right side crying.

"Mary?" She calls out, surprised.

"I'm sorry, young miss. Sir Aloit is crying for you. I can't help it, miss," Mary apologies, and she smiled.

'Vendia… can you hear them right now? They're the people who love you and miss you so much. I'm sorry for taking your place. I'm sorry that you die without experiencing and receiving the love. That your parents and these people have for you. I hope you're happy in heaven now, Vendia,' She thought, wishing for Vendia's well as she felt sorrow and unfair treatment for the real Vendia.

"*sobs* *sniff* Young miss," Mary went over to her, then hug her.

"Mary…" She hugs her back, feeling warm but sorry because she is not the real Vendia.

"Thank you," She responds. After one hour, everything went calm.

"Sorry for being so emotional today," Sir Aloit mention and apologies.

"Me too, miss," Mary inserts, and Vendia smiled.

"No is fine, I understand. And I am thankful for all your care and love to me. But let us not mingle into the past for long, okay? We must let go to the past now and make a fresh memory to our present, which is now," Vendia advice,

"Your right, miss," Mary answer, wiping her tears away.

"Okay, let's not be sad anymore. Let's all forget the painful past and be happy from now on, okay? Now, let's go to the festival. Let's all have fun and make recent memories!" Venida mentions, excited.

"OKAY!" Mary cheered up, and Vendia laughs at her cute reaction together with Sir Aloit.

"Wait, Mary, go change your clothes," Vendia respond,

"What? Why, miss?" Mary ask,

"You can't go to the festival wearing your maid clothes," She responds,

"Ah, is fine. I don't care," Mary reply,

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, now let's go have fun!" Mary cheered up, and Vendia giggled because of her.

"Come let us go," Sir Aloit stands up to the couch, and so does Vendia. They then leave with the carriage for the festival.

'Time will heal all those had broken, and a new beginning will be born again,' She thought as they are now at the town enjoying their time together, having fun with the different games at the funfair.
