CHAPTER 22
Tumagal pa at dumating na ang buong Altavas, Zuri's eyes found mine, mourning, pained and shattered, she went to me. Hindi ako tumayo dahil wala akong lakas. Nakatayo siya sa harap ko at yumakap ako. My face was on her abdomen as my arms were wrapped in her waist.
She was caressing my hair and I remained completely lonely and pained.
"Hindi mo 'yon kasalanan," aniya sa marahang tono.
I swallowed the vile on my throat and fixed myself. Tumayo ako upang bumati sa mga Altavas. Nagmano ako kay Lolo Andres.
"This is my whole family, Lo and this is the home of our ancestors..."
Bumati rin sila sa buong pamilya ko at suminghap nang husto ang mga pinsang babae ni Zuri nang nakita ang dalawang Kuya ko.
"Mga Kuya ko po..." tinuro ko at tumango si Lolo Andres.
"Mga pinagpala pala sa mukha at katawan ang mga 'to, e," sabay tawa tawa ni Nadia.

We arrived in my unit right after we checked out the items as we started maximizing the pantry. She told me to do this and it's a pleasure."Anong susuotin mo?" tanong ko, "I'll be wearing a blue tuxedo," dagdag ko at lumingon.Binaba niya ang baso at napaisip. "Royal blue, I guess..."An brand will be open for tomorrow. It is a socialization for business parters and others. And I really need to be ready for us. Lalo na sa kanya."You can wear anithing, you're so beautiful..."She mocked while preparing for the vegetables we bought. Umupo na ako sa high chair ng counter at ginawa roon ang natitira kong trabaho, we're both silent in our tasks and I found it awkward that I even shouted when I smelled the bagoong on the veggies."Nagulat ako," she glared at me and spooned something on the casserole, pumunta siya sa akin at pinatikim."Can't wait to eat, damn," sabay tawa.She's a fast learner in cooki

Umalingangaw nang sobra ang boses ni Tito Eugene sa pagtawag niya kay Zuri. I sighed heavily and paid for it. Pinaakyat ko na sa kasambahay iyon at kasabay noon ang pag-alis ng delivery boy."It's my responsibility, Tito, don't mind it, it's okay...""This is not about your responsibility, it's about how they teach her to lessen her whims, she's too luxurious, hijo..."Ngumiti ako, "It's not about how you discipline her, Tito, nasa akin po ang problema at hindi ko iyon napipigilan. This is not about lessening her whims, it's about how I want to spoiled my life. Frankly speaking, Mommy, Tita Betty and Donya Ruanda, masakit po sa akin ang ginawa niyo sa kanya," I said shakily and I couldn't really help but a tear escaped in my eyes. "At ayaw ko pong pinagsasabihan niyo siya tungkol sa mga luho niya," I added."Hijo," tumayo si Tita Betty, "I talked to your Mom that she'll talk to her politely."Natawa ako, "She's sensitive. Yo

Doon ako natulog nang gabing iyon at tahimik na bumangon kinaumagahan. I sat down in the long dining table and ate the croissant with the coffee I made.I had my self time the whole day, wala akong sinayang na oras para lang magbasa at matulog, inayos ko rin ang kwarto pagdating ng hapon bago ako bumaba."Gago ka. Haunted house na 'yan kumbaga," bulalas ni Vanessa sa tawag matapos kong sabihin na umuwi ako ng Batangas."It's actually my comfort zone, paalis na nga ako sa destinasyon ko. Sunod kayo o daanan ko kayong tatlo?" sabay ayos ng bag sa likod."Ipangako mo sa akin na ililibre mo kami," aniya sabay hagalpak ng tawa."Hoy, hoy, ano 'yan?" it was the voice of Logan."Sinabi ko kasi na ilibre tayo sa Amanpulo pagkatapos sa States."Napangiti ako at hinawi ang buhok."Siya pa talaga, Van? We're helping our friend. 'Wag na, Vanessa, tayo na lang ang natitira para kay Ivo."Lumandas ang luh

I lived and loved as much as I could and this really a life worth living. I will be happier if I'll die happily. I could finally rest and finally find a way to recover my failing heart. Heaven is what people wants the most, no matter how hard it takes to fight, people could understand the heaven's call.Kung ito man ang gusto ng langit, pwede bang maging malaya ako sa lalong madaling panahon? If the will of the wind decides to hold my heartbeat, I will stand for its majority.Nagulat ako sa rotor na dumagundong sa kalangitan habang natutulog ako dahil nang matapos akong kumain ng tanghalian, natulog ako. My heart pounded a bit and I remained sitting. It was my chopper and probably Logan used it, bumaba iyon sa wide area at lumabas si Logan kasama si Arthur."Resigned na 'ko. Tang ina!" sigaw ni Logan.Humalakhak ako at halos batuin ng nurse ang nagpapatawang Logan."Ang mga sasak

Inalu siya ni Cormac at tinulak lang niya ito. I wiped my silent tears and they looked so devastated while looking at me but I cut my gaze off. I held my Mom's hand tightly to stop her, umiling ako at sa isang iglap, nawala ang bumubuhos niyang luha na siyang dahilan kung bakit siya ang pumunas sa luha ko.Niyakap ko siya. Kung ito ang huling pagkakataon para mayakap ko siya, ayaw ko nang kumalas pa, pero marahan niya akong hinagkan at nanatili si Daddy na pinanood akong hinihingal. Hindi ako tumingin kahit kanino dahil hindi ko gustong makita kung paano napalitan ng awa ang galit nila sa akin.Dad recovered from his sudden shock as he went to me and hugged me backwardly, I bowed down and he's too precise and careful that he might break my lifeline."If you are bothered by our presence, please we'll let you sleep where you were staying but can we visit you when you're sleeping?" he said and I felt her large hand gently touched the wire on my chest.

But if she couldn't find her home, if she couldn't recognize my love for her as a light to her path coming back to me, then I will guide her, and if she doesn't feel my presence, I won't do anything but to wait.I had to be checked the next week so I had to fly back to America, hindi na ako nagpasama sa kahit sino sa mga magulang ko dahil abala sila sa kampanya, I only told them that we are going somewhere but this is the reason why... the battery went weak and it had to change to the newest one.Ayoko na silang pag-alalahin, maayos lang ako dahil nakikita ko naman na sila palagi, pero ngayong linggong ito, abala sila."Ewan ko lang kung fake news 'to, pero sabi rito sa magazine, the heiress of the Altavas Corp is dating with an Airline Pilot," sumungaw si Vanessa sa upuan niya, nakaboard na kami pauwi ng Pilipinas at unti-unti akong lumingon sa pagkakahilig sa seat ko."Good for her..." tanging nasabi ko."Talag

I almost forgot about the medicines that I will be taking. I recieved a text from Roy that Chris will be coming in here, naghintay ako at pinanatili ko ang pag-aakbay kay Zuri nang makaupo ako."Sorry if I scolded at you awhile ago," nag-iwas ako ng tingin."It's okay," she said.Chris has an umbrella as he folded and when he arrived, I drank the medicines and the juice. I wiped my lips after I drank the last drop and put down the glass."Lunch na, Ma'am, si Architect Lava Zallega, naghihintay sa hapag," ani Chris.Zuri couldn't stop caressing my forearm and shook her head. "Hindi pa ako gutom at... thank you for taking care of him while I am away," ngumiti siya."It's not just my work to take care of him as a patient, Ma'am but a friend, let us do our job and it will be a pleasure to see him happy again," Chris was gathering those remaining things on the bed."Pwede niyo ba akong turuan para alagaan siya?"Umiling si Chris, "M

Hindi ko sinabing sa Alabang ako ideretso dahil alam kong naroon ang bahay nila kaya sa Nasugbu ako inuwi, limang taon ding hindi ko nakita ang Nasugbu at gusto kong doon muna. My friends already settled down, Vanessa was on her parents house, and she's already a mother of a girl, even Jayden and Logan.I was still in medication for good. May ICD pa rin ako at kailangan. Tumigil ang sasakyan sa driveway ng mansyon at agad akong bumaba."Oh, young man, I missed you," sabay yakap ni Daddy at binuka, at pang-aalalay na wheelchair dahil ang ICD ay bago pa at hindi ako masyadong lumakas."Ang kwarto niya, nasa baba, pero inaayos pa ng mga Ate niya..." sabi ng isang kasambahay na sumalubong kay Roy.Sa may daybed ako nagpunta nang marahan at nakita alak ni Daddy sa isang bilugan na lamesa. Unti-unti ang pagtaas ng sulok ng labi ko pero agaran ang pagtakbo ni Kuya at sumigaw, he cleared the table with all force as the glasses and bottle shattered."Gusto
