Wounded Heart (Heart Series #1)

Chapter 28

Chapter 28

Today is not just like any normal day. I decided to start moving on from the past. I think it's time to embrace myself for a rollercoaster ride in which I will ride as a better version of myself. I'd be going to salon today to cut my hair. I never cut my hair ever since college.

"Kuya, are you going to come with me?" I asked while we're having lunch in my condo. He stayed here with me para daw may kasama ako.

"Yeah, sure. Then let's go to the mall. May titignan akong shoes."

"Oh, great! I'm gonna buy my first bag," I said excitedly.

His brows furrowed. "First bag? You have a lot, Trixie."

I giggled. "First bag that I am going to buy myself. From my hardwork! I deserve this kaya. Besides, hindi natuloy 'yong Boracay namin ni ano... kaya pang-shopping na lang or savings."

After eating our lunch ay nag-ready na agad ako. I am wearing a white halter top paired with denim shorts and black flip flops. "Good bye, long hair."

"Kuya, let's go na."

When we arrived at the mall, the staff looked stunned to see us. "M-Miss Dixon and Engineer Dixon?!"

I nodded and smiled at her. "Yeah. You know me?"

"Of course, ma'am! You are the new face of SD Beauty, right? The beauty brand in New York?"

"Yes, ako nga 'yon. Anyways, I want to get a haircut," I told her. I instructed her what kind of haircut I wanted and she made me sit on the swivel chair. Kuya just sat on the waiting area.

Mabilis lang naman ang haircut dahil wala na akong ibang pinagawa. I loved my natural hair. I looked at myself in the mirror and I could say that this new look suits me. From hips length hair, my hair was trimmed to shoulder length hair.

"Bagay sa 'yo, Trixie. Move on na, ha." He chuckled so I glared at him. "Just kidding. Let's go to the mall."

We went to the mall since Kuya wanted to check out for new shoes. I waited for him while he's trying on different designs. Lahat naman maganda so kahit anong piliin niya. While waiting, I unexpectedly saw Ate Jasmine holding a baby and a tote bag on her other hand. I was about to confront her but she walked out furiously the moment our eyes met.

"Trixie, which one is better?" Kuya called me suddenly and my hands automatically held my chest. "Are you okay? Para kang nakakita ng multo eh ang gwapo ko naman para maging multo."

I rolled my eyes. "Hmm, the white one is better for me. You can wear in anywhere."

Pagkatapos ni Kuya magbayad ay pumunta na kami sa bags section. I saw a classy Gucci handbag and it captured my attention. Its size is just right for me and it looks so classy. I looked for some other bags but this one is best. It's kinda pricey but this is the first one I'm gonna buy from my own money.

"That's a good bag, Trix."

"I know, Kuya!" My eyes widened while saying why I like this bag. "I'll buy it na, wait for me na lang."

After I paid for the bag, I went back to where I left Kuya. His expression changed and he seems like he has the urge to cry. "Kuya, is there anything wrong?"

"I saw Jasmine. Kakausapin ko sana siya but she's with a baby. Ang bilis naman niya maka-move one. She already had a child while I'm still holding on our past." He still gave me a small smile. I could see how much painful that smile is.

"You will heal someday, Kuya. Maybe you need to learn how to love yourself first in order for you to heal," I said.

"Tell that to yourself, Trixie. Halika na nga, may nga aasikasuhin pa 'ko."
