It's been two months. I decided to go home. I'm not really busy at the office.
I bought pizza for him.
When I arrived home,I saw him cooking in the kitchen.
"Ma!"
"Oh,Belle,you came home finally."
My mom said. I put all my things on the center table. Mom is wearing her apron. She was helping him cooking.
Harrison is almost fine. The mark on his forehead was the scar on his wounds. But other than that,he's totally fine.
"How are you?" I asked him. I was really worried about him for I don't know the reason.
He smiled at me.
"I'm great. " he said. His eyes brightened. Oh!he's happy!
My mom entered the kitchen.
"Get ready,Belle,we're about to eat our breakfast."
"Okay." I said.
I got all the things on the table.
"I got pizza for you."
"Really?" He said.
I gave it to him. He put it on the table. Then I went to my room. The room is really neat and clean. He's considered as neat freak too.
He went inside.
"You clean my room."
"Yeah!" He said.
"We'll go out today!"
After our breakfast,we went to the park. He's watching the people walking around.
"When can I have my memory back?"
"Don't stress yourself. You can get it at the right time."
"Don't you remember me before?"
He asked me. I was eating my nachos. I looked at him.
"I didn't." I said between munching the chips.
"Really? I feel I saw you already. I feel you are my favorite person."
I laughed what he said. I gave him a piece of chips.
He opened his mouth. I put the flakes in it.
"I'm your favorite person. You're kidding me. We just met. How could you feel that way?"
"I don't know. Do you know that I can hear a voice of a woman that sounds irritated at me. Seems like your voice."
I smiled.
"Don't think about it. You have family back there,Harrison. You're not even Harrison. "
"Okay,I guess,I'm hearing things."
He got up and walked around the park. I waited for him in the bench.
He was perspiring all over his face.
"Were you running?"I asked him.
" I'm tired. I can't remember."
I hit him on his arms.
"I told you. You should not force yourself to remember things. It will give you stress."
"I've been in this life for two months. I want to see my real life. Belle."
"Just wait okay?"
"Okay."
We went to the mall. He was holding my hand. We walked around and looked at some things. Some people were looking at us.
"Do you think they know me?" He asked.
"No,they were thinking that the woman you're with is pretty. You're lucky."
He laughed. The first time I heard his laugh. It reaches to his eyes. He was beautiful. I stared at him. Did I see this smile with Bettina?
"What?" I said.
"Why what?" He said that is still controlling his laughter to break out
"Why are you laughing? I'm not joking."
"Really? I thought you are."
"Ain't I pretty?"
"No."
"What?"
"No. You're not. How could you think like that."
I hit his stomach.
"I won't buy pizza for you again. I'm pissed off."
"Fine. "
"Fine what?"
"I try to consider that one again. You have brace that made you look university student." He said.
"I didn't say you have to give comments."
"Fine."
"Fine what?"
"Nothing. You don't like comments."
"What is it?"
"I said nothing. Miss Brace Lady!"
I was stunned when he said it. I shook my head. He's not the Harrison I met when I was in college. No. No.
We went to the Christmas decors section.
"I will be spending my Christmas in your house." He said.
"I don't have any choice."
"Terrible woman."
"Yeah,I hope I wish your wish will come true."
"Thanks. What are we going to do?"
"We are going to decorate our house."
"Is it necessary?"
"Yeah,you are Filipino. You are living in the Philippines. You are part of this celebration. You are Catholic. So you have the reason to do it and make it necessary."
"I know. You don't have to tell me that one."
"C'mon help me to choose what is best."
"How would I know? I don't have the idea how to put that?" He said. He sat down on the chair. The sales assistants were looking at him giddily. I rolled my eyes unintentionally.
"Miss,can I have this one?" He's not the customer. You should attend to me. My mind said.
The lady walked towards me.
"Is he your husband Ma'am?" She asked. She was smiling as if she was waiting for a good answer.
"Yeah. He is. "
I said. I was looking at it when the staff went to the other sales assistants and they acted normally. Now they behave!
I smiled secretly.
Harrison walked towards me.
"What did you say?" He asked me.
"What?"
"What did you say to them? They are swooning over me earlier."
He seems so proud of what happened.
"Are you proud?"
"A little."
"Terrible."I murmured. He chuckled.
" aren't we done yet? I'm tired already. "
"Almost."
After we bought some Christmas decors,we went to another shop. We tried some hats and caps.
"Let's take a picture!" I said.
He looks good on the black cap. He is like an actor. A handsome actor.
"You look good !"
"Yeah I know."
"Hey!"
"Okay okay!"
He gave up and put another cap on my head.
"Pretty!" He said.
"Tsk!"
He grabbed my phone and took a picture with me while my face is frowning. I surely look horrible in that picture.
"Don't you dare erase this one." He said.
"Whatever. Later I'll do it."
"No,"
"I hate you Harri--."
"Why don't you say my name? Your parents are comfortable calling me that name and I feel alright when I heard it. It's like it's my name. My real name."
"Because that name has a lot of meaning to me. I can remember two people. "
"Really? You're crushes?"
"Crushes? What do you think of me? Just into crush? I can't have a boyfriend?"
"I think so. You are definitely not into boyfriends."
"You underestimated me. They are my boyfriends. When I was in University,I met the first Harrison. He was rich and and handsome. I fell in love with him just by looking at him everyday then to my surprise, we have the same feeling."
"Really? Why did you break up?"
"I gave up University and shift to another course. He was very busy and then we broke up. Then I met another Harrison at work. He's the son of my boss. He's cold and serious one but I love his voice every morning. He called me. "
"Really? Did you break up?"
"Yeah,we did. I was very busy and so does he."
"Too bad. At the same names."
"Yeah." I almost laugh when I say it in his face. I made a remarkable lie. For the first time.
We took a lot of pictures.
"This is good! It's fun." He said.
"I'm happy that you are having fun."
"Don't you fall in love with me. I'm also Harrison."
I hit him.
"Not you. I can't."
"Why?"
"You have life behind this. "
"Okay."
"Let's go home."
We rode a taxi and we went home.
