Lahat ng Kabanata ng In Heart With Alexander : Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

“Finally!” Tiling sigaw ni Trixie pagkatapos naming mag-file ng application for graduation. “Congratulations to us!” I smiled at her as we jumped in joy outside the registrar's office. We both achieved Latin honor with her Business Management course and me in my BS Accountancy.Naglalakad kami papunta sa school's cafeteria kung saan naghihintay ang dalawang unggoy. I saw Dmitri and Rico sitting on a four seater table. “Hi Helena!” Bati sa akin ng ibang estudyante. When I got the crown last year for the Miss Intramurals, I became popular on the whole campus. There's this one scout agent who tried to talk to me and offered me to be the talent of his agency. He gave me a calling card and showed me his company card. Trixie and I tried to search if it's legit or a fraud and we found that it's legit. But I declined it politely, dahil hindi naman ako interesado sa ganoong industriya at ayaw kung tumigil sa pag-aaral. He said that the offer won't expire as long as I decide to accept it, th

I looked at my phone in my hand, still processing the conversation I had with Alexander even if it was just brief. Tinanong niya na lang kung nasaan ako at kung sino ang kasama ko. Pagkatapos ko siyang sagutin ay kaagad siyang nagpaalam. For some, it may be a nonsense conversation but for me, it’s a lot. It means a lot to me. Because of that call, I can say that he still cares for me. And just like that, my worries for him that he might have forgotten about me vanished in thin air. Sa simpleng tawag niya ay naging panatag ang aking kalooban.Bumalik ako sa aming mesa na may kakaibang sigla. Trixie looked at me weirdly. I only smiled at her and put brocolli on her mouth.“Hey!” angal niya. I laughed at her. Napilitan siyang kainin ang gulay na nilagay ko sa kanyang bibig. Rico and Dmitri laughed at her reaction. She doesn’t like vegetables in general.Kinagabihan ay nagpasya kaming sumali sa mga nagka-campfire sa dalampasigan. Halos mga ka-edad lang din naman ang kadalasan sa mga ito.

I slowly turned around my heart pounding like crazy with anticipation. This can’t be him, right? He’s in Canada! Hindi ako makapaniwala na tumitig sa mukha ni Alexander na nasa harapan ko na ngayon. He’s holding a huge bouquet. I pinched my arm and I could feel the sharp pain. He’s real! Without thinking more, I went to him and hugged him as tight as I could. I missed him so much! No words could explain how I am feeling right now. “Congratulations, baby,” he whispered and hugged me using his left hand. His other hand is holding the bouquet.Tumingala ako sa kanya. He cleaned his stubbles and he looked so handsome with his new haircut. I noticed how his broad shoulders have become more defined now. He is wearing a white dress shirt and black pants. He looked amazing. Para siyang bituin na nagniningning sa mata ko ngayon. I may be exaggerating things but this is how I feel right at this moment. He looked at me and smiled. I can’t believe how I miss his gorgeous smile too. Ngumiti ako

Gabi na ng makauwi kami ni Alexander sa mansion dahil tumambay pa kami sa bookstore ng ilang oras. He paid for all the books I chose. Wala rin naman akong dalang pera at siya ang nagyaya kaya siya ang nagbayad. Talaga ba, Hera? Ginusto mo naman di ba?Nagulat ang nagbukas ng pintuan ng makitang kasama kong umuwi si Alexander sa mansion. Ako nga rin po ay nagulat din ng makita ko siya kanina.“Magandang gabi po, Sir.” bati nito bago umalis at sinarado ang malaking pintuan ng mansion. Hinatid ako ni Alexander sa aking kwarto. I didn’t invite him in para makapagpahinga na rin siya sa kanyang kwarto pero pumasok pa rin siya. He sat comfortably on my bed while I got my satin pajamas to go to my bathroom. He looked around in my room and stopped to the photo frame. Sinabihan ko siyang maghintay dahil saglit lang naman ko. I took a quick shower dahil feel ko ang dungis dungis ko na. Mula pa kaninang umaga hanggang sa gumabi na lang. Sa loob na rin ako nagbihis.Paglabas ko ay hawak-hawak na

Mahigpit na niyakap ako ni Meg pagkatapos naman ay si Elle. Kakarating lang nila mula sa Manila ngayong umaga gamit ang kanilang private helicopter. Kahapon pa abala ang lahat ng tao sa mansion dahil sa paghahanda para sa gagawing celebration mamayang gabi. It's Alexander's homecoming and the graduation celebration all in one. “I have missed you, Helena!” sabi ni Elle.“Na-miss ko rin kayong dalawa.” nakangiti kong sabi.“You look so gorgeous even more!” namamanghang sabi ni Meg. I smiled shyly dahil parang ganun pa rin naman ang hitsura ko.“Siguro naman nagka-boyfriend ka sa college!” Excited na sabi ni Meg. We were now heading inside the mansion. Alexander is walking behind us along with their parents.“Right! I saw your pictures in social media, you've been so close with Dmitri. Wow! He's hot! And in fairness, you looked good together!” sabi ni Elle. Tumango naman si Meg bilang pagsang-ayon.Alexander faked a cough kaya sabay kaming napalingon sa kanya. He's staring darkly at Ell
