I KNOW WHO I AM

Chapter 26 (Confrontation)

I walk to the living room and saw my mom were folding the cloth. I approach her and hug her while inhaling her scent. It's strange, my mom never wore any perfume but her scent is the sweetest scent in the world. It could makes me calm just by smelling her scent.

She stop folding the cloth and caress my head.

"Want to talk with me about something?"

Ahhhh, mom's intuition never get wrong. In one glance, she can tell that I'm having a problem. She is truly a superhero or I might say wonder woman?

"Hurmmm, I don't know where to start" I said as I put my head onto my mom's lap. I look at her face and I could saw a lot of wrinkles but her smile never fade away. Her smile is still warm and comforting.

"You got a lot of wrinkles here" I touch my mom's face.

"That's because you guys always makes me worried" She said jokingly. I laugh at her words.

"Mom" I called her.

"Humm?"

"I will break up with Harris." I wait for her respond and I expect to see her shock expression but the one that I received from her is the sigh of relieved.

"Finally" She said. I frowned at her words.

"Finally?" I repeat what she said.

"Yes, did you know whenever you were going out with him I could saw that you are the one who being overly excited? Except for the first two weeks when you starts to declare about your relationship with him. That is the only time when I saw him pampered you but after then it's only you" She explained to me

Is it true that all these time I'm the one that followed him like a lost puppy?

"But.."

I put my attention back to my mom.

"But?"

"It is a different story when you were with Oat. It's like he tried desperately to get your attention but all you gave to him is just a cold look." My mom teased me.

"Huh? Oat? No mom, we were just friend. Nothing more than that." I explained to her.

"Yeahh right. For you he is just a friend but I think he considered you as more than a friend"

"No, you guessed it wrong." I said to my mom. I got a lot of things lingered in my mind right now and I don't want to add anymore stressed into it.

"Okay, okay if you say so."

I move from my mom's lap and help her folding the cloth. After finish helping my mom, I walk to my room and decided to call Harris.

"Hello?" I greeted.

"Hey sweetheart, how are you? I'm really sorry honey, I'm so busy with the project until I don't have any spare time for you"

His word annoyed me but I choose to just follow his acting.

"It's okay, can we meet tomorrow? Please, I miss you" I pleaded to him. I felt like I want to throw up because I beg to him but I need to stay rationale so that he won't be suspicious to me or I won't get to meet him at all.

"Urmm, tomorrow I got a tight schedule honey." He replied.

I rolled my eyes and grip my phone tightly, if he is in front of me right now I might already punch him in the face. I cleared my throat before continue to persuade him.

"Please, just for one hour? Or maybe 30 minute? It's okay if I can only meet you for a short time. I just want to see your face" I tried again.

"Awww, you makes my heart soft. Okay, okay tomorrow I will pick you up okay?"
