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

A year has passed and I'm now in my second year in my course. Alexander didn't send me a message even a single hello. He didn't even greet me on my birthday. The family celebrated with me with an intimate dinner. Sofia gave me a huge teddy bear na katabi ko palagi sa pagtulog. It's so fluffy and nice since it's human size.I have missed Alexander so much and it made me sad knowing that we are not on good terms.I saw Sofia laughing as I walked into the living room. She has an iPad and an earphone is plugged in her ear. “I think she likes it! When I gave it to her, she smiled and said thanks!” I heard Sofia say. “Hi, Hera!” Bati niya ng makita akong dumaan. She smirked at the iPad she's been holding. She tilted the iPad and the back camera is facing me now. Okay?“Hi! Papunta ako sa Centro, gusto mong sumama?” Yaya ko sa kanya. May bibilhin lang ako sa bookstore. “Tinatamad ako.” Sagot niya and glanced at her iPad.“Alright. Pupunta rin sana ako sa D&D.” Sabi ko. It's Diane's milksha

I glared at my phone when morning came and I didn’t receive any more messages from him yet. Fine. Sige, ipagpatuloy mo yan, Alexander. Akala mo naman mami-miss kita palagi. Malilimutan rin kita pagkatapos ng taon na to! I will try my best to at least not think of you almost everyday. Ugh! I ruffled my hair in annoyance. Alexander, the orangutan is so annoying!Nang biglang tumunog ang aking cellphone. Mabilis ko itong kinuha mula sa aking bedside table at sinagot ang tumawag.“Hello?”“Hi, Kiera!”I rolled my eyes when I heard Dmitri’s voice. Bakit, Hera? Sino ba ang inaasahan mong tumawag maliban sa tatlo mong kaibigan? Huh? I sighed in defeat.“Hi, Dmitri. What’s up?” sagot ko habang nagbibihis. Ni-loudspeaker ko ang aking cellphone.“Trixie and I are going to fetch you and Rico.” masaya nitong sabi. Okay. Anong meron ngayon? It’s not my birthday at walang may birthday sa kanilang tatlo. It’s just a regular Saturday.“We’re going on a beach, Kiera. Finals are done so we deserve th
