In Heart With Alexander Kabanata 28
I gazed at the photo and let out a sigh. He's probably attending a party and someone captured a photo of them candidly. I deleted he photo and block the unknown number. Summer is quickly approaching, and my graduation is just around the corner. I've been extremely occupied with our final requirements, so I haven't been in touch with Alexander in the past few weeks. However, I do send him a morning message every day, although we don't communicate frequently. I heard that he's preparing his documents and requirements for studying at a university abroad, which is great news. Tita Alexandria mentioned this to me one evening. "Kiera! Are you done?" Dmitri asked. I was on my way to the faculty room to submit my revised research paper. "Yep." "Me too. I'm also going to submit mine," he replied, walking alongside me. I knocked on the door three times before pushing it open. I greeted the teachers as we made our way to our adviser's desk. "Good afternoon, sir," I greeted. Dmitri al

I hold Lola's arms softly. She looked at me and took my other hand and held it. I am wearing a graduation toga and we are inside the van which is heading to our school. Kasama namin si ate Mela at Rico ngayon na nasa likurang bahagi ng sasakyan. Kuya Isko is driving and he’s been saying that he is happy for us dahil sa wakas ay magko-kolehiyo na kami. Pagdating namin sa school ay dumiretso kami sa auditorium dahil doon gaganapin ang graduation rites. Dmitri saw us. Pumunta siya sa gawi namin at nagpakilala bilang kaibigan. Masaya namang binigay ni Lola ang kanyang kanang kamay nang hiningi ito ni Dmitri upang magmano. I noticed na wala siyang kasama o baka hindi ko lang namumukhaan.Hinatid ko si Lola sa designated na upuan para sa kanya, katabi ng sa upuan para sa magulang o guardian ni Dmitri. I saw Trixie sitting on her designated seats. Pumunta na rin ako sa nakalaang upuan para sa akin pagkatapos kong magpaalam kay Lola. Alas siete palang at alas otso magsisimula ang programa.

Masayang kumakaway si Lola sa akin habang tinitingnan ko siya mula sa loob ng sasakyan ni Dmitri. Trixie and Dmitri fetch Rico and me here on the ranch. Ngayong araw kami pupunta sa kanila upang bumisita. Ayaw pa sana ni Rico na sumama pero pinilit siya ni ate Mela. Kailangan niya rin daw na magliwaliw at huwag puro trabaho sa vegetable farm. He is still young and he needs to have fun sometimes. I agree with ate Mela kaya tinulungan ko siyang kumbinsihin si Rico at buti pumayag sa huli.Dmitri is using a black Wrangler.Halos isang oras bago namin narating ang bahay nina Trixie. It looks like an ancestral home. It’s huge and half of the house is made of hardwood. Dmitri park on the left side of the house.“Nice house.” Komento ni Dmitri.“Thanks!” Sagot ni Trixie.She led us inside their home. Sinalubong kami ng kanyang mga magulang sa pintuan ng kanilang bahay. Nagpakilala kami at masaya nila kaming pinatuloy.“Feel at home guys. Trix, ikaw na ang bahala sa kanila.” Nakangiting bilin

I stayed still for a minute, unable to move in shock. Worries spread across my face when I held her and tried to wake her up by softly shaking her shoulders and by calling her name and she didn't respond. I tried finding a pulse on her by using the things I learned in first aid, but I couldn't. I ran outside her room and called for help in my shaking voice. I saw ate Mela and two other house helpers. I immediately asked them. Natataranta silang naglakad ng mabilis papunta sa kwarto ni Lola. “Tawagin mo si, Isko, Rose!” Sigaw ni ate Mela sa isang kasamahan. Nagmamadaling lumabas ng kwarto si ate Rose at pinuntahan si kuya Isko. Napakalakas ng kabog ng puso ko habang dumating si Kuya Isko. Binuhat niya ang walang malay na si Lola palabas ng mansion. “What's happening? Hera?” Tita Alexandria asked in worry. I looked at her with tears starting to fall. “Tita, si Lola po…” Her eyes went to where Kuya Isko was. Bumaba siya sa portico ng mansion at tumawag pa ng isang tauhan upang um

Nagising ako ng maramdaman kong may pumipisil sa aking kamay. Nagmulat ako ng mata at nakitang katabi ko na si Alexander. His eyes are full of jealousy but then he gives me a warm smile. I realize that I am still leaning on Dmitri's shoulder. I guess he never moved even a bit dahil hindi ko naramdaman man lang. Umayos ako ng upo at bumaling kay Alexander. “You can sleep more, Kiera.” Sabi ni Dmitri. I glanced at him and smiled. “Okay na ako. Thank you, Dmitri. I'm sorry, baka nangangawit na ang balikat mo.” Hinging paumanhin ko. “You're welcome and no worries.” sagot niya. “I'll just get coffee.” I nodded in response to him. Then, he asked Trixie and Rico if they wanted too. Sumama ang dalawa sa kanya. I looked at my wrist watch and it's two in the morning. “Good morning, Alexander.” Bati ko sa kanya. He looked at my face and pulls me for a warm embrace. “I've missed you, my Hera.” He said. I hugged him back tightly. I have missed you too, Alexander. I am always m

It's been three days since my Lola's burial. And Alexander is still here making sure that I am still functioning. Parang sira. Okay na naman ako. I know that death is inevitable. It's just that some deaths are untimely like my parents. Kaya sobrang nasaktan ako noon. Hindi pa rin naman akong handa na maiwan ng aking Lola but I can't do anything about it. I am a mere human. And I need to accept things in order for me to move on in life.Tita Alexandria has talked to me saying that nothing will change during my stay here in the mansion. She offered assistance with my studies. Okay lang naman dahil sisiguraduhin kong makakuha ng scholarship program sa university na plano kong pasukan and I still have money. Lola made a savings account for me. Ngayon nga ay pupunta ako sa University upang mag-take ng scholarship qualifying exam. Alexander offered to accompany me.Mahigit isang oras ang biyahe namin bago narating ang University. He parked his car at the designated parking area for the vis

Alexander remained silent over our dinner. He didn't say even a single word after that. He was cold as ice. I tried to hold his hand but he avoided it. I pouted and ate silently.“Alexander, please..” Nasa sasakyan na niya kami at pauwi na. He didn't start the engine yet so I tried to talk to him.“It is not what you think.” Sabi ko.“Bakit? Alam mo ba ang iniisip ko?” Tanong niya.I looked at him and shook my head. I am not sure if he was jealous though that is his usual reaction. Dmitri is only a friend. And he's just being a friend. For months I have been friends with both Trixie and him; they were kind and thoughtful. Dmitri knows that I have lost my Lola recently, so I guess he wants me to have some fun.Alexander snorted and started the engine. We are now going home.Matulin ang kanyang patakbo sa sasakyan kung kaya’t wala pang isang oras ay nasa bukana na kami ng ranch. Hininto niya ang sasakyan at hinampas ang manibela. Napaigtad ako sa gulat. “If that's what you want. Then,

Ang bukas na sinasabi kong kakausapin si Alexander ay hindi dumating. I woke up very late the next day and that’s the thing I regret the most. If I had known that would be the last time I was going to talk to him before he decided to leave, I should have just endured my sprained foot and followed him. “Good afternoon, ate Mela! Thank you po kahapon sa pagtulong sa akin.” I said when I saw Ate Mela cleaning the figurines of the mansion.“Walang anuman, Helena.” sagot niya na bahagyang huminto muna sa pagpupunas upang makaharap at makasuap ako.“Napansin niyo po ba si Alexander na lumabas sa kanyang kwarto?” tanong ko sa kanya. I’ve been waiting for him for almost an hour outside of my room. Pero hindi ko pa siya nakikitang bumaba sa hagdan.“Sir Alexander? Umalis na siya kaninang alas cinco ng umaga. Bumalik na siya sa Canada.”Para akong nabingi sa sinabi ni Ate Mela. Anong umalis? Bumalik? Hindi pa kami tapos na mag-usap at galit pa siya sa akin kahapon. Paanong umalis na siya? Hindi
