Contrast between You and Me
Crying (Chapter 6)
(Harry’s P.O.V)
I did overhead the conversation earlier between Bai and my mum. I wonder what happen to Bai’s mother. Is she dead? Or did her parents get divorced and she is left with her father?
I could hear singing coming from Anna’s room as I walked past it to go to my own room. I decided to eardrop to hear the song properly and know who is singing this song behind this think door.
Seen that ray of light
And it's shining on my destiny
Shining all the time
And I won’t be afraid
To follow everywhere it's taking me
All I know is yesterday is gone
And right now I belong
To this moment to my dreams
Wow she has such a beautiful voice, but I have never heard this song before. Did she write this? The lyrics are really sad and it reminded me of those words that she told me earlier today.
So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me
She must have written this song! It sounded very original and the lyrics sounded like it held a very powerful meaning behind it. I can’t help myself but to keep listening to this captivating voice of hers.
“She has a beautiful voice doesn’t she?” my mum stated, “shit! Mum you cared the crap out of me,” I told her, “watch your language young man... Harry I hope you keep your words…if she gets hurt again…I will make your life a lot harder and I mean it...she has a lot on her plate,” my mum warned me.
We didn’t even realized the door was open, “umm did I interrupt anything?” Bai asked awkwardly, “no you didn’t love…get some rest and if you don’t want to go to tomorrow that’s fine…you can take the day off,” my mum told her.
“Mum you don’t make the decision for her,” I reminded her, “she is practically my daughter Harry whether you will marry her one day or not,” Bai and I both chocked on our own spit from my mother’s statement. My mum left the room laughing at our reaction, “g-good n-night,” I shattered and walk to my room. That was so awkward…let my mum be the one to make the situation more awkward then it already is.
For some unknown reason I couldn’t sleep, I tossed and turn on my bed. I looked over at the night stand it says 1 am but I am not tired at all. My stomach grumbled and I decided to go downstairs to find something to eat.
I sneak out of my room and went downstairs to the kitchen. I walked past the hallway that leads to the front door and what shocked me was the fact that it was wide open. Did someone break in? How come I didn’t hear it? I could hear a soft sniffling from the outside, am I hearing things? Am I seeing things?
I decided to go and check the sniffling sound anyway, but as I got closer to my porch outside the crying got louder. “Mum…what did I do in my last life to deserve such life like this one? Was I born to feel the pain from other? Just endure them and pretend it never happened? I have done that for seven years now mum…I don’t know how many more I can take…now since moving to a new country…it won’t be only dad that will abuse me…people hate me mum…I don’t know if you saw what happened today but…there is no safe place for me anymore,” I stared at Bai through the dark, the only light source was from the street light and the stars seemed to clearly show tonight.
Her mum must have passed away for seven years now and her dad abused her? What kind of father is it? I am not getting furious from what I have heard.
“There is,” I blurted out without realizing it, “Harry… (she breathed out)…you almost gave me a heart attack,” she said holding her hand on her chest while her other hand quickly wiping her tears. “What are you doing out here?” I asked her, “I-I c-could sleep,” she said nervously, “why are you up?” she asked back.
“I couldn’t sleep either and I was hungry so I decided to come get some food,” I explained to her, “then have you finished eating?” she questioned once more, “no! I saw the front door open…I thought someone tried to broke into my house,” I clarified and she mumbled sorry in replied.
“Do you want to grab something to eat too?” he offered her, “Are you trying to fatten me up? You mum feed me so much at dinner,” she smiled and I also chuckled at her statement. “I think a couple of pound won’t hurt,” I told her, it was true, Bai is nowhere near fat and she does actually eat a lot at dinner.
“Hey…might as well, I might able to fall a sleep with a full stomach,” she chirped heading towards inside of the house. We are acting as if we’ve known each other in ages, but in reality we are everything but that.
“Oh my goodness…put some clothes on,” Bai covered her face when I turned the kitchen lights on because I am only wearing my boxers. I knew from the first day I met her in the hallway that she was innocent and still is. “Relax Bai…I still have pants on you know,” I pointed out, “but you are not wearing any shirt,” she stated still covering her face. Gosh she is funny but I put on a t-shirt or else we would be here all night.
“I wish I was like a pig,” Bai said out of the blue after we finished eating, “why is that?” I chuckled, “well when pig stomachs are full, well they generally fall asleep,” she explained, well she is surely the first girl that said she wanted to be like a pig. “I am guessing you are not tired?” I asked with one of my eyebrows rising.
“Not even close…I am wide awake,” she exclaimed, “do you want to watch something?” I asked and she nodded in response. We are sitting on the couch now and Bai is sitting about a meter away from me. I know I have only spent a small amount of time with her but as I get to know her better I am starting to feel guilty for treating her the way I did.
“I am sorry Bai,” I apologized, “what for?” she asked, I know she is playing dumb, “for everything,” I sighed. “Don’t be, that is the way it is supposed to be…our fates are all different,” she explained, “does your dad abuse you?” I blurted out without thinking, I know it is way too early to ask her about this and I know for a fact that she already hates my gut.
Her body froze from my words, “how much did you heard from what I said outside?” she questioned in a flat tone not meeting my gaze.
“Enough to know that you’re dad has been abusing you for seven years,” I told her.
I did overhead the conversation earlier between Bai and my mum. I wonder what happen to Bai’s mother. Is she dead? Or did her parents get divorced and she is left with her father?
