Harry Hemsworth POV
"You wanna know the hardest thing she's had to do this past few years? Learn how to be alone and not to care to anyone. She learn how to wake up in the morning without anyone in her side. She had to learn how to go throughout the day without talking to anyone. She'd had to learn how to depend on herself after depending to her family for so long. She had to learn not to get attached to anyone. She had to learn how to be cold. She'd had to learn how to get over in her miserable past and not to hope that everything will go back to the way it used to be. She's had to learn how to live without anyone beside her and continue to live alone."
I was dumfounded after what I heard about her.
I've been really bad since the first time we met and I kinda feel guilty about it.
"Maybe she act tough but she is not. Behind her smile there something that no one would dare to know. They think Clarrise is a bitch but no, they are wrong. She is the most kind and wonderful person I know. In her every action there's a reason behind it. No one knows kung ano ba talaga ang mga yon. Kung bakit naging ganyan sya. She doesn't trust everyone not even her own family."
"Do you know the reason why she is like that?"
Taylor convulse her head "No."
"Ang alam ko lang meron syang trust issues because of what happend to her family. Di kasi sya yung tipong tao na mag oopen ng ganong topic. Ayaw na ayaw nya ang kinakaawaan sya." She added
I can see sadness in her eyes. I can see na she really care about Althea.
"Ngingiti ngiti lang yan pero andami nyang pinagdadaanan. I feel guilty because it was my partly my brother fault."
"Erwan?" She nodded
"She has a bad trust issues. So she will not tell anyone what her problem is. What she feels. What she needs. I wan't to kill my brother for hurting my bestfriend. It was his fault bakit naging ganyan ka bato si Althea."
"By the way why did you ask?" Yea why? I dont know too. I was just curious.
Curious.
"Nothing" I take the last sip of my coffee before I go.
"Thank you for your time taylor."
She smile and wave her hand. "Please be good to my bestfriend!"
I nod.
I want to know more about her. I feel like there's something.
"Hey bro. Ang lalim ata ng iniisip mo ah? Don't tell me you're thinking about that girl? Althea Clarrise Knox"
I raised my fist "Shut up harold"
"Chill bro. Do you like her?"
Halos masamid ako dahil sa sinabi nya. "Are you making fun of me?"
Harold laugh "No. Im just asking you"
I look at the window and sigh "I don't know. I just want to know more about her. She look's mysterious"
Althea Clarrise Knox POV
"May incoming event na naman and you were given the chance to join it!" Masayang balita ni Maria sabay palakpak pa.
"Alam mo ba kung ilang artista ang dadalo doon?! My gosh! Kailangan mong mag handa ng todo todo bakla! Talbugan mo ang Keisha Ramirez na yan"
Natawa ako, galit na galit sya sa inggitera na yon pagkatapos nyang marinig ang tunay na nangyari noon sa naging banggayan namin.
Im happy dahil for the first time may naniwala saakin.
"Thank you maria" I blurted out. She looks surprise.
Because its her first time hearing me saying thank you?
"May nakain kaba? Ngayon lang kita narinig mag thank you ah! Halos mag iisang taon na tayong magkasama"
Yes. It's been a year since I enter this life and I must say na masaya ako at nag eenjoy sa ginagawa ko. Sunod sunod ang projects na natanggap ko kaya halos kilala na ako.
I got enough savings para mapahanap ang mommy ko. Ang nag hire na din ako ng detective.
Konting tiis nalang mommy
"Sir!" Gumuhit ang pamilyar na amoy sa aking ilong. Kahit naka talikod ako alam na alam ko kung sino ang dumating.
"Clarrise" pagtawag saakin ng kupal.
Humarap ako sakanya at ngumiti "Goodafternoon sir"
Sir my ass.
"I want you to come with me"
I raised my eyebrow.
"Where to?"
"Ay ang suplada ni madam" pagpaparinig ni Maria.
As usual. Blanko ang expression na ibinigay nito saakin
"Somewhere" sagot nya
"It's not a date dont worry"
I cursed him at the back of my head. This guy keep on irritating me for the past 1 year.
I heard Maria chuckle.
I just glared at him. He's making fun of me. This punk.
"I'll give you 5 minutes to prepare"
Just wow. Napaka bossy nya.
"Alam mo minsan nakaka halata na ako kay Harry. Gusto ka ata nun ah bakla"
"No way" natatawang sagot kopa.
Dahil sa inis ko sakanya hindi agad ako bumaba. Sinadya kong mag tambay ng matagal sa office ni Maria.
Kaya naka receive ako ng death threat.
From: Kupal
IM GOING TO COUNT 1 TO 5 ALTHEA CLARRISE KNOX!
Anong akala nya saakin? Di ako matatakot sa mga pa ganyan ganyan nya.
"What took you so long?" Irritation is written all over his face.
I smirked. "Nag make up ako. Can't you see?"
"Whatever" bulong nito at sumakay na sa sasakyan nya. Nanatili lang akong naka tayo.
"Get in!" Inis na sigaw nya.
"Why don't you open the door for me?"
Di maka paniwalang tumingin ito saakin na para bang may mali saaking sinabi.
"You're asking your boss to open the door for you? Wow"
"Ang dami mong arte kupal" inis na bulong ko.
"Stop calling me KUPAL! For pete's sake clarrise!"
Pulang pula ang mukha nya sa galit. Gusto kong matawa.
"Eh mukha ka naman talagang kupal e" dagdag ko pa bago padabog na sumakay sa sasakyan nya.
"Bakit? Nakakita kana ba ng sinasabi mong KUPAL na yan?!"
Isinalpak ko ang aking earphone sa mag kabilang tenga ko at napairap sa kawalan.
"Daming satsat. Tara na. Saan ba tayo pupunta?"
Wala na akong narinig na sagot sakanya kaya ipinikit ko nalang ang aking mga mata.
Ang dami ng araw, linggo, at taon na nasayang mommy. Hinding hindi ako titigil hangga't hindi kita nahahanap. Kahit ano gagawin ko makita lang kita.
"Althea" nagising ako dahil sa mahinang pagtapik ni Harry sa aking pisngi.
Pagbukas ko ang aking mata sobrang lapit ng mukha nya saakin.
"Ilayo mo nga yang mukha mo!"
"TCH"
Luminga linga ako para tignan kung nasaan kami at ganun nalang ang gulat ko dahil nasa isang masyon kami.
"Saan to?"
"Bahay namin" maikling sagot nya.
"What the? At anong gagawin ko dito?"
"Kakain"
Ang lakas talaga maka gago ng isang to.
"Ginagago mo ba ako?" This time humarap na sya saakin.
"Stop cursing"
"Why do you care? Magmumura ako kung gusto ko. Pwedi ba! Iuwi mo na ako wala akong oras maki pag lokohan sayo"
"Kuya harry!"
A 12 year old boy run toward us. He looked at me
"You're probably ate clarrise right?"
I just nod.
"Hello! I am Hunter Hemsworth! Kuya harry's brother"
Ngumiti ako sakanya "Hello. I am Althea Clarrise you can call me ate thea"
Nagulat ako ng bigla itong kumapit sa braso ko. "Let's go ate thea! Mommy is waiting to you!"
Wala na akong ibang nagawa kundi ang mag patangay sakanya.
Pagpasok ko sa loob sumalubong saakin ang napaka raming pagkain.
Fiesta ba dito?
"Mommy! Daddy! Kuya! Ate!" Sunod sunod na sigaw ni Hunter.
A middle age woman smile to us. She really looks beautiful.
"Mommy! This is ate thea!"
"Hunter can you please shut up?" Inis na wika ni Harry bago kami lagpasan.
Aba. Sinama sama nya ako dito tapos iiwan nya ako.
Dmn it. Kupal ka talaga.
"Goodevening po."
"Maupo ka iha" napaka lumanay nyang magsalita. Bigla kong namiss lalo si mommy.
"Daddy! Kuya! Ate!" Hunter let go of my hand and went straight to the dinning.
My eyes widened when I saw someone who looks like Kupal.
"Hi there! Im harold, harry's twin brother! And this is my sister Jackylyn! My dad Jack!"
Ate jack waved her hand to me and gave me a sweet smile. Even her father smile. Ang gwapo.
Asan na ba ang kupal na yon. Naiilang na talaga ako.
"Hello po" I bow down my head.
"You must be Clarrise" naka ngiting wika ng daddy nila.
"Yes po"
"Take a sit" kung hindi lang ako hinatak ng ni ate Jackylyn hindi ako uupo.
"Harry come down" sigaw ng kambal nya.
Ilang minuto lang ay bumaba na ito at naka pag bihis na rin. I glared at him.
"Kuya harry your girlfriend really looks beautiful!"
My eyes widened. "What the fck. NO WAY!" gulat na sigaw ko dahilan para mapa tingin lahat sila saakin.
