Chapter twelve "Give me Love"

After that call, hindi matanggal tangal sa isip Ko si alex.

"Aph baby, are you okay?" Tatauhan Ako ng nagsalita si Abby.

"H-huh?" Sagot Ko. Eh kasi, gustong gusto konang puntahan si alex.

"I understand. You can go now baby aph." Sabi niya with a smile.

Eh? Pag puntahan Ko siya maging sad si abby. Pero.... Gustong gusto Ko talagang puntahan si Alex.

I looked at her and gave me a assuring smile. As if she had said "everything's gonna be okay."

Hala? Bakit alam niya ba kung anong nangyare kay Alex.

"Now go dear before I change my mind. I already called your manong driver." Sabi nya. This girl is getting weirder every minute.

Then, I went to the parking spot near the small restaurant and saw manong driver.

I went in the car and manong started the engine.

Urgh hindi parin ako mapakali. Anong Nangyare kay Alex. Sabi niya nandun Lang daw siya sa isawan. Tapos ngayon his mom said that his now miserably having a concert in his room?

"Miss Aphrodite? Okay kalang?"
Liningonan ako sa kay manong driver at Nakita siyang nakatingin sakin gamit ang front mirror ng kotse.

"P-po?" I said.

"Napansin Ko kasing kanina pa nakakunot ang nuo mo. Alam kong hindi dapat ako nangingialam baka makatulong po ako." He said and gave me a smile.

"A-ah.. Na stress lang po." Tanging sagot Ko.

"Ah okay po maam. Basta tandaan molang palagi maam na maaayos din ang lahat." He said while smiling.

Hindi na ako sumagot at nagaalala na lamang kay Alex.

"Maam andito na po tayo." Rinig kong Sabi ni manong at kumaripas na ako sa pagaalala papuntang front gate nila.

Napahinto muna ako habang tumititig sa front door nila.

"Everything's gonna be okay." I said whispering to myself and mag knock na Sana ako nung bumukas ang pinto at nakita Ko si Alex....

His perfectly calm outside but I can feel the wrath in his soul.

Now, I'm very curious.

Tumingin siya sakin and it was he was staring at my soul. And he turned his back while giving me his smile.

I just followed him as he went near the piano and sat down perfectly calm.

Wow. The control of this guy, im totally amused.

I just looked at him, still standing up.

He gently tapped the piano chair where he was sitting, as a sign na pinapaupo niya ako.

I just nodded and sat beside him.

"What happened-" I said and he cut me off.

"Shhh" he said while covering his index finger on top of my lips.

He started to play a familiar song.

~Give me love like her,
'Cause lately I've been waking up alone~

"Una, Ikaw ang kinuha niya sakin."
Sabi niya, still playing the piano.

"H-huh?" I said not knowing what he was talking about.

~And that I'll fight my corner,
Maybe tonight I'll call ya,
After my blood turns into alcohol,
No, I just wanna hold ya.~

"Yes. He liked you. When we were freshmens. And i kept him away from you." He said not looking in my eyes.

"I don't understand." I said not knowing what to say.

"Yes, Aphrodite Jane February. I have long loved you since the beginning. And even though we were still kids who were just playing around with our feelings, I have loved you and I guess this love of mine for you will have no end."

~Give a little time to me or burn this out,
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around~ I heard him sing with a crack in his voice.

"And then came blaire. I was captivated by her. Started to like her and ended up loving her. I got over you and just gave her my love. Showed her the things that men thought they couldn't do when loving a woman." He looked at me and saw his eyes full of tears that was about to fall.

"And then he came again. Out of the blue he liked her and got the love that I was wishing for her to give me." He said

I couldn't help myself. I hugged him. His tears were so painful to see for me. He stopped playing and just cried on my shoulders.
