After what happened yesterday, I didn't want to see anybody nor would I want anyone to see me. I stayed in my room the whole day, skipping lunch and breakfast.
"Natalie? Natalie honey, you skipped lunch and breakfast. Is something wrong?" My mum asked from the otherside of my door.
"Mom, I felt so humiliated infront of papa and his business partner" I opened the door for her to come in and lead her to my bed. She sat down beside me."Humiliated? What happened honey?"
[Flashback]
"What was that?" Theo asked. "Oh nothing! I said H-hi" He just looked at me and passed by me, completely ignoring me.
While I was walking at Theo's back, I lost my balance and stumble down hitting him accidentally."Ouch! What's wrong with you?! After greeting me in that way, you hit me in the back?!"
"No, I'm sorry! It was an accident-"
"I need to go. I can't stay with someone so disrespectful!" He replied.
I looked up to see everybody's eyes on me. I looked directly into my papa's eyes and saw anger in them. I ran up to my room and cried.
[Flashback Over]"It's really nothing mom" The doorbell rang throughout the whole house. My mom stood up and went to get the door.
"Get some rest" she said.
"Okay, mom."
********************
"Knock, knock" A man's voice came from the door. "Who's there?""Theo"
"Theo who?"
"The guy who humiliated you"
What is he doing here? In this hour. Shouldn't he be doing something fancy or something important? I stood up and opened the door to find him with his hands in both of his pockets.
"Ugh, what do you want?" I asked a little to rudley.
"May i come in first?" He asked.
"Yah..sure." I made way for him to come inside. He looked around my room.
"What, you here to judge my room too?!" I snapped. "Okay, look, I'm sorry that I got mad yesterday and I humiliated you- ""You made my dad get angry at me!"
"Ya that's the reason why i came, i came to say sorry"
"You came to say sorry?""Yes i came to say sorry because of what happened yesterday i just really had a bad day,i broke up with my girlfriend that day , my pa made me feel that im useless and then the thing yesterday happened."
"Look i am really sorry about your break up and i am sorry too about the thing yesterday, friends?"
" we can call it that right?"
"Yeah we can call it that"Then we heard a ring tone that is kinda funny sound and i asked " is that yours?" And then i laughed
"Just wait a minute"
"Sure"
"Hello papa, pa?" Then he speaks in a different language that I couldn't understand.
After phonecall"Hey ahhmm natalie i have to go"
"Really?"
"Yes cause my pa needs me to arrange some papers at the office...bye""Your eyes are so blue!"
"Excuseme what?"
"What? I said bye"
"Oh okay then...bye!
