”Yes?”

”If you're not really a man-hater… then why do you refuse ainst you and you become like this? Have been betrayed before?”

She shakes her head and looked away froaze on the calm dark sea ”The reason I pulled Lavender's hair before was because I was struck by her words”

”What did she say?”

It seems it's already tis she had been keeping to herself and had not been shared to others for so long

”I don't like ave her attention to theh she no longer gaveme whenever those boyfriends of her left her, I' as she's happy… But I always felt envious to men because my mom always have ti was alh!

”I feel angry whenever… they leaveI feel so mad to her boyfriends because they wasted my Mom's love and tis from my mother, and then they dared hurt her? T-this is why I don't like men, eh I'm envious of them since they are the only ones who can make my Mom happy yet they still always hurt her…” She sniffed If I were only given those time and love, I'll assure her I would never make her feel hurt But h to make her h-happy…”

That's her uarded secret Which she never planned to aduys… That the truth is, she can never otten from a man who didn't take responsibility for them
