Complex Romance - 25 A Shoulder To Cry On

After reading the idea that Teresa suggested, Harry immediately replied her by saying,

“I think that’s a good idea. However, you need to tell him that you are giving him the gifts to return his favor. If you don’t tell him that he might misunderstand and think that you still like him.”

“Wow, I never thought of that, do you boys usually think so much? I thought only girls think like that.”

“Not all boys, it’s just him. Yup, girls do think a lot, but why didn’t you think about this? Are you not a girl? [cunning emoji]”

“I’m a girl! I just don’t think so much that’s all. But you thought of it, so does that mean you are a girl? [nosepick emoji] Oh, I forgot you are a girl cause you are my sister” Said Teresa in a teasing way.

“You win, you win. I really can’t beat you in this. You are too good in talking back.[roll eyes]” Replied Harry.

Actually, Harry was relieved as Teresa was not as upset as she was in school. Knowing her personality, she would have just kept everything to herself as she did not want to bother anyone, she did not want anyone to think that she was annoying. That was why he was worried about her.

“Of course, I’m the boss.” Said Teresa cheeckly as she continued, “Thank you Harry.”

“Why are you suddenly thanking me? Did you hit your head or something?”

“You are the one who hit your head. [roll eyes]. I just want to thank you for the gift and the surprise you gave me last night. I appreciate it, thank you.”

“You are welcome, stop saying thank you. If you really want to thank me then cheer up and be happy, don’t thank me when you are sad, I gave you the surprise to make you happy, not to see you sad.”

“I know, I’m happy. You don’t need to worry, I’m not upset anymore.” Teresa replied.

“That’s good to know. Remember to tell me if you are upset, don’t pile everything in your heart and suffer alone. You are not alone, you have us, your friends. If you need a shoulder to cry on, I’m available at any time.”

After reading Harry’s text message, Teresa was so touched. Thinking back, she felt that she was extremely blessed, not only did she have an amazing and supportive family, she also had a group of wonderful and trustworthy friends who are always by her side. So what, if her first love betrayed her? She still has her family, brothers, and friends who are always caring about her. She then remembered what she read before in a book, “it’s not always about how hurted you felt in your past relationship, it’s about what lesson you have learned and what experience you have gained. To be happy or sad is your choice. You could think about all the negative stuff and sulk and feel miserable all you want, or you could think about the happy moments and feel happy and appreciate it, the choice to be happy or sad is yours.”

With this in thought, Teresa was motivated and she decided to look at things from the bright side. Then she said to Harry, “Okay. Next time, if I want to lend your shoulder to cry on, I hope that you won’t reject me and think that I’m annoying though!”

“I won’t, I will always be here whenever you need me.” He replied.
