It seems like every girl in town has their eye on Harry Fortaleza. He is both extremely wealthy and strikingly good-looking. He reigned supreme over the entire world with undying grandeur. He was successful in all areas of his life, and the beautifu...
Liza was feeling frustrated after a disappointing encounter with Harry the night before. Despite his compliments, she was annoyed that he had rejected her advances, even though she knew he was just trying to be polite. Alam niyang nagpapaka-gentleman lang ito, pero naiinis pa rin siya.
Nakasimangot na pinagsasaksak niya ng tinidor ang pagkain sa plato,iniisip na si Harry iyon. Gigil na gigil siya kaya nga halos madurog ang kanyang bacon.
"What has that poor bacon ever done to you, bunny?" natatawang tanong ng mommy niya. Pagkuwa'y nakakunot noo na pinagmasdan ang suot niya na kwintas, singsing at hikaw. Kanina niya pa iyon napansin at naiintriga siya kung saan iyon galing. "I noticed your new jewelry set; who gave it to you?"
Liza let out a snort. "Oh, it's Harry's birthday present." inis niyang wika. "I hate him," she murmured.
Nagkatinginan ng makahulugan ang mag-asawa pagkatapos ay napailing. "An infinity knot jewelry set, I see..." tatango-tangong wika ng daddy niya.
"Darling, you gave me the same jewelry when we were just dating, remember?" nakangiting baling ni Karen sa asawang si Ronwel.
"Yeah, I remember, my love," natatawang wika naman ni Ronwel sa asawa. Tila kinilig sa naalala.

"Harry has good taste, huh? It suits you well and appears very expensive." patuloy ni Karen. She enjoys collecting jewelry at alam niya ang value ng mga iyon base lang sa unang tingin.
"Harry is a Fortaleza, darling; what do you expect?" wika ni Ronwel sa asawa. A Fortaleza can afford any extravagant and expensive jewelry in the world without worrying about its bank account. That's how wealthy they are.
Karen shrugged her shoulders. Her husband has a valid point.
May katulong na lumapit sa kanila "Sinyor Ronwel, may bisita po kayo sa sala."
Kunot noo na inilapag ni Ronwel ang tasa ng kape sa mesa at nilingon ang katulong.
"Are you expecting anyone, Darling?" Karen asked.
"No, but let me check," he said as he excused himself.
Naiwan ang mag-ina sa kumedor.
Nais matawa ni Karen sa ekspresyon ng mukha ng anak. She looked so annoyed. Nais niya tuloy tanungin kung kamusta ang date nila ni Harry kagabi. Karen asked jokingly, "So how was your date with Harry? Did he formally ask you to be his girlfriend?"
Natigil sa pagnguya si Liza.
Wait.
They actually did kiss. They are attracted to each other. They came close to having sex. But do they even have a relationship?
She was astounded to learn that they are label-free!
O M G.
Shaking her head, she sighed. "Mom, I don't want to talk about it," matamlay niyang wika. Ano ba 'yan. Bigla ako nawalan ng gana. She was about to excuse herself and leave the table when his Dad and Harry came over. Liza was stunned when she saw him. "H-Harry?! "
