"I cooked that." She softly said before leaving the room. It felt awkward lalo na't andito si Psyche sa tabi ko. I acted normal dahil hindi ko naman alam na gagawin 'yon ni Kazumi. Sinundan ni Psyche si Kazumi sa labas at hindi ko na siya napigilan.


I stared at the lunch box andi t has a note. I smiled a bit while reading it and crumpled it after. Baka makita ni Psyche, kung ano ano na naman iisipin non. Hays. I know, I'm a jerk. Ayoko lang ng gulo at away.


Anong ginawa mo Kazumi? Bakit lapit ka nang lapit saakin? I know she still likes or loves me. But she knew I have Psyche. This will be chaos and I don't want them to fight each other. Napahilamos ako sa mukha ko dahil hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko. 



I'm sorry Kazumi, but I chose to stick on my principles now. I tried to be friendly dahil akala ko hanggang doon lang din ang tingin niya sa'kin. But I'm wrong. I don't want to be mean, so I hope tumigil na siya. Kazumi does not know how to cook so she really did an effort doing that. I tasted it before giving it to the other workers. I know she saw that and I hope she knew what I meant in doing that. Stop hurting yourself. Hays.


My assumption failed because everyday Kazumi always brings a cooked dish at work. Iba ibang pagkain everyday at wala akong ibang ginawa kung hindi ipamigay ito. I appreciate the effort, but I want her to stop hanggang maaga pa. Magkakasakitan lang kami one way or another. I don't want to cheat anymore. 



"Just tell me what's wrong so I can leave now." I can't hold back her tears and cried. I explained to her why I did that but I anticipated that it wasn't enough explanation for her.


"Suit yourself with your loyalty shit. You're not even faithful, Harrison."


Her words struck my heart like a dagger. She has a point. I believe in this son of a bitch loyalty. Am I really not faithful? Maybe, probably. Hays.


This is now my usual line since I'm an uncertain person: maybe probably. This pains me. Ang sakit nito para saaming dalawa. I hope I can turn back time.


I thought she was going to stop cooking for me, but I think I underestimated her. Kazumi, bakit mo pa 'to ginagawa kung nasasaktan ka lang din naman? She kept on hurting herself and I don't want to be mean also. My guilt is killing me, and I'm not doing anything about it. 



She waited for me until 5 PM and 11 AM raw siya nakarating sabi ng secretary ko. Masokista ka ba talaga, Kazumi?


"Just throw it." My mind is saying the opposite thing, but I think this is for the best– ang itaboy siya. She can find someone better than me. Napansin kong may band-aid siya sa daliri pero pinigilan ko ang sarili kong makiusisa. It will give her another false hope.



Kahit ang isip ko mismo ang kumokontra sa iniisip ko. I don't want her to find someone else, but at the same time, I want her to be distant. 



Tangina. Mababaliw na ako. How selfish, Harry!
