Pauwi na ako pero I see Harvey with his blopckmates. Lumapit siya sakin na nakangiti.

"Pauwi ka na?" Tanong niya.

I nodded.

"Sabay na tayo?" He smiled again, gosh! I'm blushing, stop it! "I have a car, wait for me here." Umalis agad siya. Nakatulong pa na gentleman!

Naghintay ako ng konting oras at nakita na siya sakay sa kanyang kotse. He open the front seat door for me.

"Are you okay? I heard what happened."

"I'm okay, Harvey. Can we go to Eiffel tower?" I asked.

He chuckled. "Broken hearts go home and lock themselves to their room. Kakaiba ka talaga."

"Pagod na akong umiyak noh. Wala rin namang magagawa pag umiyak ako, hindi naman niya ako babalikan kahit isang balde pa ang iluha ko, I just hope it was worth of leaving. Sana masaya siya ngayon." Isang butil ng luha ang pumatak galing saking mga mata.

"You may be able to fool the rest of the world, but you can't fool me, I know na nasasaktan ka and you can't accept the fact that he's getting married by now with your bestfriend. God, that's really hurt, if I were you I can't handle this such of situation, you're so brave, Xena and I adore you for that." He said. Nakatingin sa kalasada pero nakikita ko ang sincerity niya.

"Thank you for the advice, Doc Harvey." I smiled.

"Ohhh? How did you know?" He's freaking shocked. The hell? Famous siya sa buong batangas at nagtataka siya kung bakit ko alam?

"Well, my friend Nia, stalked you always. In your social media accounts." I blurted.

He nodded.

"I change my mind, Harvey. Can we go home?"

"What a sudden change of hearts?" He smirked.

"Tsaka na pagkasama ko na yung tamang tao."

"No way! Don't tell me may balak ka maging kabit ni Lavin?" Inihinto niya ang sasakyan.

I laughed so hard." What the fuck Harvey?! That's not it! I'm pertaining to someone else."

"And who's that?"

"I don't know yet, Harvey. Wala pa akong balak, siguro pag abogado na ako, Malay mo ikaw di ba?" I laughed

"You don't even get move on, tapos babanat ka ng ganyan? My gosh Xena." He sighed.

Natahimik ako. Joke lang naman yon, pero bakit parang naalala ko si Lavin? The way he speaks, kung pano niya ako icomfort, bakit?

Don't fall for another Lavin!

That's my motto, pero bakit ganon kay Harvey? Lahat ng ginagawa niya si Lavin ang nakikita ko. 

"Did you already get your schedule?" He suddenly asked.

"Yup." I nodded. My phone vibrated. May isang mensahe iyon at tiningnan, baka urgent or si Dad.

Happy Birthday Xena! I love you!

Pinigilan ko. Pinigilan ko ang sarili ko. Pano niya nalaman ang phone number ko? Paanong nakalimutan ko ang birthday ko?

"May problema?" Harvey asked. Nakatigil na pala ang sasakyan at nasa harapan na kami ng bahay ni Auntie. "You're quite for a while, what's wrong?" He unbuckled he's seat belt and I did the same.

"Nothing, Harvey. Normal lang bang makalimutan mo ang birthday mo?" I curiously asked.

"What? Birthday mo? Ohhh, I don't have gift for you–" nagpapanic niyang sabi.
