Ynoa's POV
"Are you really sure about this?" napatingin ako kay Harry nang matapos mag impake ng mga gamit namin ni Zeijan.
"Yes, Harry. Eto naman talaga kasi ang plano ko." I answered.
After what happened, articles and news spread like a wildfire. It was a total mess. I was called slut, liar, great pretender and all sorts of bad things. Hindi tumagal ang mga ganoong balita at agad na naglaho. Harry told me the de la Vega trimmed down all the articles circulated in the media. They dealt with it neatly. Hindi nagsalita ang chairman at maging ang ibang de la Vega. Kaya ang huling balita ang pinaniwalaan ng marami.
Kahit ako yung nasira, hinayaan ko na lang kaysa mahalughog nanaman ang nangyari noon. My mother is already dead, it's better if she's not dragged into any issues. Pinutol ko ng tuluyan ang komunikasyon sa mga de la Vega. Roemer never tried to reached out. I understand him. Hindi ko lang maiwasan ang hindi masaktan. Hindi niya ako binigyan ng pagkakataon na magpaliwanag.
"I'll visit you from time to time." Harry uttered. We are in our old apartment as I fixed everything.
"Thank you so much, Harry. Babayaran kita, pangako." I smiled. He smiled back.
"Hindi kita minamadali, Ynoa."
I owe him so much. Siya ang naglakad ng lahat ng kakailanganin namin. Be it passport and everything. He pulled some strings. He lend me money too. But of course I will pay after. Though I was able to save up much money while working with Roemer, I don't think we'll last long using it.
Harry will let me use his house in US. But I told him I'll pay for rent. Hindi ko siya tinigilan hanggang sa pumayag siya. Itinayo niya ang bahay niyang iyon dahil doon siya madalas mamalagi. But now that he have to work here in the Philippines. Walang tao ang nandoon. Wanting so bad to get away from everything, I accepted Harry's help.
After what happened, Zeijan never asked me about them. He never asked about Roemer. Maayos ang pakikitungo niya kay Harry at agad na nagkasundo ang dalawa.
One time when Harry showed him pictures. Halos manlaki ang mata ko nang ipinakita niya ang mga iyon. Zeijan was only one year old that time! Manghang mangha ang bata nang makita niya ang mga litrato.
"Is that really me? So you knew when I was young?" Zeijan asked with wide eyes.
"Yes, you're right." natatawang sambit ni Harry.
"Cool!" Zeijan exclaimed.
It's still different. Iba pa din ang tingin niya kay Roemer. Iba pa din. Iba ang ningning ng mata niya kapag si Roemer. My heart broke even more.
Harry had been so good and understanding. Sinabi ko naman ang totoo sa kanya ang tunay kong nararamdaman. I made it so clear that I don't feel anything towards him. Tinawanan lang ako at sinabing huwag kong bigyan ng malisya ang mga kabutihan niya.
