Hey Harry!

Chapter 10

Please leave

Hinatid ako ni Mark sa mansion, dala dala ang 3 karton ng pizza. Dapat daw akung magpakabait sa bahay ng ibang tao kung hindi ay baka palayasin kami ng kapatid ko nang wala sa oras.

He even paid for all of it because he's in a good mood daw.

"I'm going." He said then drove off.

Huminga muna ako ng malalim bago pumasok. 

Tita Leanne welcomed me, and she was intrigued with the boxes I had. She tried to tease, and even said that she won't tell my parents about anything. 

"Tita, these are actually for you, and I don't have a boyfriend." I smiled at her.

"I bet she does." Harry said while walking down their grand staircase.

Kinindatan niya ako tapos hinablot ang pizza sa kamay ko. I was taken aback by his actions. That was very rude. Very very rude. 

"I'm getting these because I'm hungry." He said as he started to untangle the tie. I looked at him with disbelief, but he seem unfazed by it.

"Harry! When did you started to loose your manners?" Tita Leanne looked stern.

Harry just lazily raised his two hands in the air while holding two slices of pizzas in it. She just shook her head in disappointment when he resumed eating the pizza. 

"So how was the date? You know, you deserve such break too. You're a very diligent student at kailangan mo rin minsan ng inspiration..."

Patuloy parin siya sa pagtatalak kung gaano ka okay lang ng 'ginawa' ko raw. Kung sila mommy at daddy ay sobrang restrictive, she's the total opposite. She's actually pushing me to have one, and she believes that I do have one!

"Tita, kaibigan ko lang po talaga yun." I said.

Isang padarag na pagbaba sa baso ang narinig naming dalawa ni tita, dahilan kung bakit kami napalingon roon. 

He looked serious as he apologized and went up to the staircase again. 

"Pagpasensyahan mo na si Harry Mia, I think he's having a lot of hard time right now." Her voice sounded sullen.

"Bakit po tita?" 

Curiousity was slowly building up inside of me. May problema parin pala ang mga tao na tulad niya kahit na mukhang perpekto naman ang buhay niya.

"I don't know if he got rejected, but I've seen dried flowers under his bed." 

Unti unting nanuyo ang lalamunan ko. My heart was slowly weighing me down. Bigla akong nawalan ng gana. So he did pursue Trixie?

"We all know how secretive he is. We can't fathom what he's thinking, and he's too mature for his age. Sometimes, we don't know if it's a good or bad thing." 

Halos hindi ko na marinig ang pinagsasabi ni tita Leanne at nagpaalam na lamang akong matutulog pagkatapos kong i check si Kiarah sa silid niya.

When I got to her room, she was already fast asleep. 

I looked into every detail of her room, and was fascinated with its interior decors. Namiss siguro ni tita Leanne na mag decorate ng kwarto para sa baby, lalo na sa babae. I think it was her dream to have a baby girl, pero pagkatapos niya kay Harry, sinabi ng doctor na hindi na siya pwede magkaanak pang muli. There were complications after her delivery.

I went outside her room after a couple of minutes, then headed to my room. I stopped along the way when I saw him leaning against the wall beside my room's door. With hands folded against his chest, his demeanor was so intimidating. 

"What are you doing?" I asked him.

"Can I go inside?" He asked.

"No." I said in a stern manner, and went straight inside my room, but he followed me immediately. 

"Hindi mo ba alam ang salitang privacy?! Alam kong pamamahay mo 'to, but please give me a break Harry!" Hindi ko napigilang tumaas ang boses ko.

He just stared at me blankly. 

Is he really brokenhearted? Bullshit. Anung gusto niyang makuha sakin? Comfort? Advice? Wow, just wow. 

I am really going to start to move on from him. Fuck these feelings. Fuck this life. Fuck everything that's going against what I truly like, including him!

"I'm not in the mood to hear some stories like you being brokenhearted or what as what tita Leanne said. Wala akong panahon sa ganyan." I tried to calm myself, but damn, mahirap.

"I don't know what mom told you, but no Mia, I'm not brokenhearted." He said.

"I don't give a ..."

"No Mia, I'm lost and shattered." He said as if he was tired and all used up.

I was so close to bursting. Did he just confessed in my face that he got rejected by another woman? Was it Trixie? Shit. 

Masyadong mabigat sa pakiramdam na nararamdaman ko na kung anung nararamdaman niya. Why am I inlove with a man who's inlove with another woman? How can cupid be so hard on me?

"Harry, I understand, but not now. Please leave." 

I pulled the sheets to my face, neverminding if he'd go out of the room or not.   

If he's lost and shattered, well, my insides are dying, but my heart is still hoping. Now, who's in a worse situation?
