3:00 PM, Monday.

I'm at the store while scrolling.

I'm hurt by what's happening.

Almost all at once.

They really don't love me, Mom and Dad.

They really don't care about me.

And there's that guy I really want to be with.

The guy I hope to spend the seven days with.

Even my friends didn't even think about me.

"Auntie, good afternoon!" Anna greeted Mom.

"Oh, afternoon. Flea? She's there." I heard Mom reply to Anna.

"Thank you po." Anna thanked Mom.

Anna entered the store.

"You really came without letting me know, huh?" I said jokingly to her.

"Flea." she said seriously to me, holding my hand.

"Flea, just a few more days. Do you really have no intention of telling the truth to them that you're not really okay? And that you only have a few days left?" Anna asked me.

To be honest, I told Anna na sabihin niya sa Bf ko na ayos na'ko.

Because I thought he would come to me and be happy.

Akala ko matutuwa siya, kapag sinabi kong ayos na ako.

But no, just when I said I was fine, he left me.

It hurts so much.

"Fool, don't be so loud." I slapped her a little and laughed.

"They might hear, Mom knows too that I'm fine." I added.

"HAAA?! HOWWW?!" he asked me in confusion.

"I said not to be noisy," I whispered to her and pinched her gently.

"Bu-but howww? Pa-paano? Flea, paano?!" magulong tanong pa rin niya sa'kin.

"I instructed Doc. I instructed him to tell Mom that they gave us the wrong result. Wish granted, right? Doc is so kind, it's only through him that I felt like I have a Father." I continued to say to her while smiling.

"Flea!! Do you even know what you're doing?!" she asked me in annoyance.

I'm just doing this to lessen their worries.

"Of course, ako pa? I make sure to thoroughly think through everything before actually doing it." I said.

"I'm getting annoyed with you! I'll visit you tomorrow, and we have somewhere to go." She said to me, and her annoyance was evident on her face.

I'm hurting with the things I do, but I have to pretend.

I've already said it.

The pain is doubled.

It feels like my heart is being pierced by multiple needles.

I don't even know what I should do anymore.

I just continue and wait for a few days.

Will they be happy?

I hope so, because I can't bear seeing Mom cry because of me.
