All Chapters of Bad Romance: Chapter 41 - Chapter 46

HARI YASIEL SIERRAI watched as Daniel and Cheska walked away, feeling a pang of sadness. Theo came up and patted my shoulder. “You should move on, Hari,” he said gently.I laughed bitterly. “How? Kung araw-araw, gabi-gabi ko siyang kasama?”Hindi ko na hinintay na sumagot si Theo nang lumangoy ako papunta sa kabilang dulo ng pool para maalis sa isip ko ang mukha ni Cheska. But every time I closed my eyes, siya laging lumalabas sa isip ko.I should have courted her first before Daniel could. Binalot lang ako ng takot dahil baka hindi ako sagutin ni Cheska dahil sa age gap namin.And so? I could be mature for her. It's just a two-year gap. Does it matter?Ilang beses niyang pinaramdam sa akin na parang kapatid lang ang turing niya sa akin. Damn. Ayokong hanggang doon nalang kami. I want to step the boundaries, but every time I do, lumalayo siya sa akin. And that's fucking hurt worse than being rejected.I used to be with her all the time, lalayo? Hindi ko kakayanin. OA? No, I just love

HARI YASIEL SIERRAI was nursing my drink, trying to drown out the chaos in my head, when suddenly someone yanked my hand, forcing me to spin around. Before I could react, a sharp sting exploded across my face as a slap landed squarely on my cheek.“Sai!” Gulat na sigaw nila Leo nang sampalin ako ni Sai.There she was, Saoirse, standing in front of me, her eyes blazing with anger. She looked like she had been holding it in for a while, and now it was all spilling out. I scoffed, wiping the side of my mouth with the back of my hand, more out of habit than actual need. The sting from her slap was nothing compared to the pain I’d been carrying inside.I wished it was Haven standing in front of me, her eyes burning with the same fire that had always drawn me in. I wished it was her voice, steady and strong, telling me to get my act together. I wished it was her hand, not Saoirse’s, reaching out to pull me back from the edge I’d been teetering on for so long.But it wasn’t Haven. No matter

“I get it, Cheska. I’ll never be a man for you. Just be happy; I don’t care about my happiness anymore. As long as you’re happy with Daniel, magiging masaya na rin ako. Pero kapag may ginawa siyang masama sa’yo at sinaktan ka, run to me, Ches; I will embrace you.”A-ano ba nangyari? Bakit ganito si Hari? M-may nangyari ba kagabi? May nasabi ba ako? Shit. Hindi ko maalala.I was wasted last night. Hindi ko alam kung may pinagsasabi ba ako sa kanila kagabi. I can't remember!“Forget it, Ches. Pero kapag talaga may ginawa si Daniel sa’yo, I won’t sit back and watch you suffer. Mahal kita e, inalagaan kita, tapos sasaktan ka lang ng iba?” He said softly.Kumirot ang puso ko sa sinabi niya. I couldn’t help but bit my lower lip as my puppy kept on licking my hands.“Gutom na si Kari, let me get food for him.”“Kari?” I asked, my brows furrowed as I looked at him intently before looking at my puppy. Napanguso ako, bakit niya pinangalanan kaagad?! Akala ko ba akin ‘to?Tumango naman siya. “Ka
