Months passed by so quickly. If Harman couldn’t visit Alodia or even see her because he was busy at work, he always called her up and talked to her, asking how she was doing.“I just want to hear your voice after my stressful day at work,” he said one night over the phone.“Oh, my boyfriend is so pity. What do you want? I’ll sing you a song?”He laughed and agreed. She then sang one of her favorite songs by Selena Gomez, which was called Love You Like a Love Song.Harman was so happy about it. She felt good when she heard him laugh. In the past few months, she gradually admitted to herself and accepted that she was truly falling for him. Yes, for real. But still, she wanted to hold back just as when she first realized her feelings. She was still afraid to be hurt in the end like Alyanna. She was just so afraid… and that was driving her insane.She almost finished her contract with her current empl

Because of what had happened on New Year’s Eve, Alodia and Harman had frequent fights. She knew she must have been unreasonable for him but she couldn’t help it. It always got under her skin whatsoever Laili would tell her. And she couldn’t even make herself distance from Harman in spite of everything.One time when she entered Harman’s condo, she met the other woman there. Again. The latter smiled at her before she bade Harman goodbye and left the two of them.Harman was sweet-talking to her that Laili was only there to give him some documents from his office. But she thought it was so nonsense that was why she was so mad at him. Meanwhile, the other woman seemed to always provoke her by doing all things possible for her to be jealous. If it wasn’t a sin to murder someone, maybe she already had done it a long time ago. The Gypsy woman just knew how to push her buttons.“Why does she have to bring that document over to your co

The table was ready when Laili came together with some women who were her cousins to “chaperone” her that Alodia wanted to puke. As if Laili didn’t go to the man’s condo in the middle of the night alone!Laili was surprised to see her there together with Harman. It appeared that Flavie “missed” to tell her that significant information. But then, the other woman was very fast at recovery. She kissed Harman’s cheeks like the usual greeting she does. It was months perhaps since they saw her last… after what happened in his condo that New Year’s Eve.And as usual, they ignored each other. But deep inside, she was affected by the other woman’s presence among Harman’s relatives. She seemed to be at home and was indeed very welcome there.Alodia was beside him at the table the whole time during dinner. But when the time for dancing came, she was left behind as he danced to a popular manele song

“You already took care of me and Nicu, Alodia. That was all I asked of you, right? Besides, you’ve done more than you ever know. You made me strong when my husband was gone. You came into my life and Nicu’s just in time! And believe it or not, I found the best friend in you. You never left me high and dry,” she said and laughed, quoting her. “And I want to do the same for you. I’ll be by your side to get you through this, Alodia. That’s a promise. So, you have to show me that you are strong, too. You’re not like Alyanna. You’re different from your sister. You can do this. You were able to get through this before. Why not again? Just think of it as a replay.” Her friend soothed her by rubbing her back gently.She tried to nod as she continued to cry. It still hurt especially that it was about Harman. She thought she was over him after all these years. But then, she had loved him still all these years. And nothing chan

Alodia didn’t know how she got home because of the memories and different thoughts that bothered her. She felt like a zombie walking after she off the bus. It was even a miracle for her to arrive home still in one piece. She was so damn tired! And she fell into the couch like a defeated soldier.She stirred from her disturbed nap because of the doorbell. It was like there was an emergency. She didn’t know she’d fallen asleep when her body hit the couch. When she glanced at her wrist watch, it was already past six in the evening.“Shit! Nicu!” She ran toward the door to open it.Then, she stepped back when she saw Harman with Nicu. The kid came in and looked at her desperately for a second or two.“You’re such a loser, Alodia!” he said gaily. “You forgot to pick me up at school!” he complained in his usual gay tone. There was no grudge in this boy, which amazed her.However, she frowned at
