Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow

**Lisa’s POV**NôvelDrama.Org content.

Next day, I gathered all my courage going to school. I need to be brave to finish what I have started and to show him that I am not a bit affected by what he has done. I just don’t want to see him at all, not even a glimpse. As much as possible I avoided his team mate even in the cafeteria or in the school corridor. I just ate outside the campus all by myself. It was better this way than to get hurt all over again. He didn’t even look for me to explain his side of the story, I never thought that he was that coward to admit what he has done. I guess it is better that way to avoid further hurt in confrontation. I tried to concentrate on my studies and not mind what I have heard from my classmates gossiping about the women I saw at the gym with Leon. I gave a deaf ear to their conversation and continued what I did. I am just a robot doing things routinely. My friends in the department saw my suffering, they didn’t ask me what had happened because it was like opening a faucet, tears would just flow automatically. They comfort me in their own way, because they know how hurt I am.

Weeks and months passed by and no Leon was willing to explain his side. When I went home, I saw a familiar car in front of our house. My heart is beating so fast I can even faint. When I entered our house, I saw him seated in our living room. When he saw me, he ran to me to embrace but I slapped him with all my might.

“What are you doing here!? You must be mistaken to enter the wrong house. You may have got the wrong address. Get out of here!” I shouted.

“Please listen to my explanation first.” He pleaded.

“I have waited for a long time to explain your side of the story but you did not come. It is too late for me to listen now to your explanation. Get out!”

“Please listen first, you are the one that I love, not her.” He sobbed.

“Stop lying Leon! If you loved me, you would have told me everything when you arrived in the city. Maybe I would have believed you then. Why it takes too long for you to come forward and explain. Your explanation was not needed anymore. Whatever it is, just keep it to yourself, I don’t want to hear anymore. Get out! I don’t want to see your face anymore. Please, avoid the chances that we could meet at school, because from now on you are nothing to me. You have hurt me so much! Seeing you would make me hate you more! Get out before I throw you out of the house! Get Out!” I shouted and cried uncontrollably.

**Leon’s POV**

I left Lisa’s house crying. I can still hear her sobbing and crying. I can see that she was really hurt and devastated, I admit that it was all my fault. If only I had the courage to tell her the truth of the incident as soon as I arrived in the city, maybe we could patch up things. She was right, how could I say I love her when I cannot act like I am really in love. I don’t have the courage to face her because I know I really hurt her. If only I could turn back the hands of time, I would not be trapped by my childhood friend. I know she has had feelings for me since we were a child, but I only saw her as a sister. She gets me drunk and I don’t know what happened after that. She tells me that something intimately happens between us. I didn’t believe her, I really can’t remember anything about that night. Only GOD knows what really happened. But I am determined not to marry her because I really don’t love her. I will go against the odds, no matter what my parents and her parents insist on, I will not marry her. I only love Lisa and she is the only girl for me. I hope Lisa can forgive me.

**Lisa’s POV**

After Leon’s visit at home, I haven’t heard from him. I really don’t want to hear any. I promised to myself that I would concentrate more on my studies until I finished my course and graduate, and I would not get myself involved with any man during my studies. I never wanted to get hurt any more. That would not leave anything for me.
