Chapter 5

Clock shows 8 o'clock in the morning. Harry reached his cell phone and typed something on his phone.

[Message]

Harry: Good morning! I'm waiting you front of your house, okay?

Harry sent the message with a smile. Sandra who at that time was tying her hair was shocked when her phone rang there is an incoming message. Sandra looked at her phone from a distance and felt strange. Who would sent a message to her in the morning like that. Ignore...

[Heart's voice (Sandra)]: Definitely Steve .. Hmm

After tying her hair, Sandra grabbed her bag and headed to her study desk to pick up her phone. How surprised when she saw the name on the screen of her phone. She reached for her phone and read the message.

[Heart's voice (Sandra)]: Why only today?

Sandra did not reply to the message. As she stepped out of the fence of her house, she saw Harry standing next to the fence of her house. Harry smiled at Sandra and took the book in Sandra's hand and continued walking leaving Sandra behind. Today is not like any other day, while walking to the school they both just kept quiet.

"Why are you silent today?" Harry's voice broke the silence between them. Sandra looked at Harry.

"No story. Btw why did you message this morning? Usually not." Sandra said with a cynical smile to Harry. Harry laughed.

"Am I wrong to message you? Or do you want me to message you all the time?" said Harry, winking. Sandra shook her head.

"Crazy ..." Sandra said as she took the book in Harry's hand and ran towards the school fence. Before Harry could respond to Sandra's words, she had already run to the school gate. And Harry was only able to reply by himself.

"Yeah. Crazy because of you." Harry said with a smile. Suddenly...

"Because of whom?" A voice was heard behind Harry. Harry stopped. He immediately looked back. And the reprimanding voice behind he was Trisha. Harry was shocked. Trisha laughed when she saw Harry's shocked face.

"Hello .. Do you hear me?" Trisha asked as she waved her hand in front of Harry's face.

"Ahh yeahh. Since when are you behind?" Harry said.

"Since then." Trisha said with a smile. Harry just nodded and gave a signal for them to continue their walking all the way to school. Trisha walks together with Harry.

"You don't answer me anymore. Because of who?" Trisha asked again with a smile. Harry scratched his head. He did not know whether to answer the question or not.

"Nothing." Harry said slowly. He took a safe step by giving a short answer. However, Trisha smiled at Harry. A smile that Harry could hardly interpret.

"Don't hold back your feelings. Just say if you really like it." Trisha said while winking at Harry. Harry just looked at Trisha without blinking. Trisha waved her hand signaling she wanted to leave Harry and enter the school grounds. Harry was shocked. He himself found it difficult to process the words spoken by Trisha.

[Heart's voice (Harry)]: Impossible she knows ..

The alarm clock rang to signal that class for that day was over. Students can go home. As usual, Harry and Sandra would walk together to go home. As they passed a convinient store near their home, a voice greeted them.

"Sandraa .." Reprimanded a male voice. Sandra was surprised her name was called and saw the face that called her. Harry who was already in front stopped and looked towards the voice. Harry just saw the man's face and suddenly there was a feeling of anger in him and he immediately headed towards Sandra.

"Why?" Sandra asked in a voice that sounded annoying. The man came and approached Sandra.

"I miss you." Said the man named Steve. Harry who heard that turned in the other direction. He feels angry but he manages to control his anger because he is not anyone for Sandra.

"I dont miss you. Dont disturb me again." Sandra said and left Steve. However, Steve pulled Sandra's hand and Sandra stopped. Sounds like Sandra screaming in pain. Harry immediately held Sandra's hand.

"Hey look. Just say no need touching. Could you?" Harry said to Steve. The fire of anger could be seen in Harry's eyes. Steve let go of Sandra's hand.

"I just want to talk to my girlfriend. You who have nothing to do can not interfere?" Steve said with a cynical smile looking at Harry. Sandra wanted to speak but she had not yet had time to utter the words Harry had already spoken before.

"She's not your girlfriend anymore. You're just her ex." Harry said awakening Steve about the status of Sandra and Steve's relationship.

"Oh I see. So you are her new boyfriend?" Steve said with a laugh. Harry who saw Steve as despising him almost wanted to punch Steve in the face. But Sandra immediately held Harry's hand.

"I'm more than a boyfriend." Harry said, pointing his finger at himself. Steve who heard Harry's words become angry but keep silent.

"But you have to give me and Sandra a chance to talk. This involves me and her." Steve said and then looked at Sandra. He expects Sandra to support him this time and give them space to talk. But Sandra just lowered her head.

"I dont think so." Short but clear enough that she did not want to talk to Steve. Harry looked at Sandra with a satisfied look.

"Anything?" Harry asked again. Steve just looked at Harry. He just wanted to punch Harry in the face.

"I guess there is nothing anymore. Then bye!" Harry said to Steve. He pulled Sandra's hand away and they walked away. They continued their walking but did not go home but went to the park.

"Ice cream?" Harry said. Sandra just nodded weakly.

[Ice cream shop]

Harry ordered two Vanilla Chocolate ice cream for the two of them. They continue their walking and eat their ice cream. They walked to find a place where they could sit.

They both sat in a hut near the children's playground while enjoying the ice cream they had just bought.

"Dont you dare to speak with him again." Harry said firmly. Sandra looked at Harry.

"Yeah. I don't want to see him again too." Sandra said while enjoying her ice cream. Harry was silent. The atmosphere between them is quiet and only the voices of children are playing.

"Why are you so different today?" Sandra asked. Harry who almost choked just acted sluggishly. Harry did not answer Sandra's question and let Sandra wonder about her own question. But deep down in Harry's heart, he wanted to confess his long-hidden feelings for Sandra.

"Hey! Answer me. Why are you weird today? Did something happen?" Sandra asked again. Harry gasped at Sandra's question and looked at Sandra.

"Oh nothing." Harry answered briefly. But Sandra was still not satisfied with Harry's answer. She knew there must be something Harry was keeping secret but she was not sure what it was.

"Is there anyone confess their feelings for you today? That's why you have become super protective of women?" Sandra said with a smile. Harry just laughed listening to Sandra's words.

"No no no. No one make a confession to me. But I guess, hmmm I will confess my feelings to someone today." Harry said with a smile.

"Really? Who is she?" Sandra asked curiously. He was very eager to find out who that person was. Is that girl Catherine? Or Trisha? Hmmm.. But Harry just kept quiet.

"Who is that person?" Sandra asked impatiently. Harry just laughed when looking at Sandra's face who couldn't wait to hear his answer.

"WHO!? You tell me or I left you here and dont want to talk to you 100 daysss !!" Sandra said sullenly. He was already standing and wanted to leave Harry. But Harry immediately reached Sandra's hand before Sandra could step away...

"You .." Short, clear and gives a very deep meaning. Harry managed to confess his feelings. That time Harry heart's beat so fast. He blushing. And Sandra was speechless hearing Harry's answer....
