His Eternal Love

Veinte Nueve

Missing him

"Here's your delivery, Ma'am!" The delivery guy said,

I smiled and handed him the payment, "Thank you." I said and closed my door.

I walked into my room and placed the pizza on my mini table. I am about to open it but I was interrupted by my ringing phone.

I Accepted Patrice's Call.

"Hello?" I greeted.

"Finally, You answered me! How are you there?" His voice were flat, bored.

I rolled my eyes. This guy! I'mma slap his ass off when we meet again. "I'm fine, why did you call, Kuya?" I asked as I opened the pizza box and started to eat for my hungry stomach.

"It's Mom..." He paused,

I raised my brows. "What about her? How is she?" I asked.

It's been a two years when I left Philippines. And now, I'm here at New York, Alone, bored and sad.

I want to go back there but I can't.

Since I am HIV positive and because of the scandals. And I feel guilty for not telling to Adrien about it.

If he is mad, I will totally understand it and I know, Galit siya sa akin.

Baka isumpa pa ako nun kapag nagkita kami.

Anyways, I am not positive anymore kaya sobrang saya ko.

I remembered those sleepless night thinking, I became depressed, It was very hard to accept that I have HIV but I can't do anything but to accept it.

With the help of Doctor Jaxon, He is my doctor. I'm thankful to him, for helping me during the hard times of my life.

"She's fine but your Mom, I mean si Tita Matha. She wants you to be here bago daw manganak."

"Hmm, why?" I asked, confused. "Ako ba ang magpapa-anak sa kanya?" I laughed, A genuinely laughs.

I heard she is seven months pregnant now with their second child. Balita ko din ay nagka-ayos na sila nila Dad(Mayor).

Good for them.

He chuckled. "No but we want you to be here, ngayon buwan sana-(Is that Vanya? Can I talk to her, Please?) Fine, Here."

"Hi, Vanya!" She shouted, Then giggles. "How are you there? How's New York? Did you find me a New boyfriend who is not grumpy? (What the hell are you saying, my Woman?)" Offended n'yang tanong,

Napailing ako. Seloso.

I smirked in my thought. "What do you mean, Alora? Didn't you and Axe are dating na?" Tudyo ko.

Of course it's not true, I just made up name and I don't know who is Axe. I just want to tease my brother.

Alora is a modern version of Maria Clara so I didn't know that she have this makulit side. She and Patrice are absolutely for each other.

"(Alora! What is she saying? Give me the phone!) Are you shouting at me?! (N-no, Love, Anong ba'ng sinasabi ni Vanya?)" Mahinanong wika nito.

Napailing na lang ako at patuloy sa pagkain. "Break up with Patrice, You deserve better Alora." I added, Smirking. "Sabi mo sa'kin, Hindi mo 'yan papatulan." Pigil ko ang aking tawa.

I heard him curse.

Natahimik sila. "H-huy, Ba't ka g-ganyan tumingin? P-Patrice, Oy! Pansinin mo 'ko...Mahal.(Don't touch me, Alora. I said, D-don't.)"
