I was busy cleaning my room nang tumunog ang cp ko. It's a message from Melka.
From: Melka
Happy legality, Kyrie-rapunzell!🥳🥳
I smiled. Birthday ko nga pala ngayon. But for some reason, my smile faded. I remember what Ally told me, that he would marry me if I turn 18.
I shook my head, I shouldn't be thinking of those things. May anak na s'ya at alam kong one of this days they would get married already, and ofcourse because of the child. And who knows? Maybe he still love ma'am hail.
I sighed. I looked at my phone when it vibrates again.
From: Melka
Punta ako dyan, Kyrieee. Makiki-kain lang hehe.
Napatawa ako dahil don. I typed a reply to her message.
To: Melka
Sure.
Sent.
Nag patuloy na lamang ako sa pag linis ng di na s'ya nag reply. Matapos kong maglinis ay bumaba na ako sa may Sala. Don ko nakita na tulog si Kuya Alvix.
"Kuya.." pag tawag ko sakanya at mahinang inalog ang balikat nya.
"Hmm.." aniya at unti-unting binuksan ang mga mata.
"Don ka na sa kwarto, Kuya. Baka nahihirapan ka matulog dyan." Aniko. Walang ano-ano naman syang tumayo at naglakad papunta sa taas.
"Hey." Napatingin ako kay Kuya Ariesee na kakadating palang.
"Where's Jae?" Tanong nya.
"Nasa taas po, Kuya." Sagot ko naman. He nodded. Sinundan ko s'ya ng tingin ng maglakad ito papuntang kusina.
It was Saturday today. Sumunod ako kay Kuya Ariesee. I saw him lighting a candle in a cake. It was a black forest cake. I looked at him when he lifted his head.
He smiled. "Happy birthday, Kyrie." Aniya. I smiled back. "Thank you, Kuya." I said and hugged him. He hugs me too.
"I'll just gonna call, Jae. Wait us here." Aniya. I nodded. I was about to sit on the chair na malapit roon sa cake ng biglang tumunog ang door bell.
I creased my forehead. Si Melka na na 'yon? Agad akong tumayo at lumabas mula sa kitchen at binuksan ang pinto.
"Happy birthday, Kyrie-rapunzell!!" Si Melka nga. Naka-ngiti s'ya habang may hawak-hawak na box.
"Thank you, pasok ka." Aniko at ngumiti. Saktong pag dating namin sa may sala ay ang pagbaba naman nina Kuya Jae.
"Hala may igop." Dinig kong bulong ni Melka.
Napapigil naman ako ng tawa. "Oh, didn't told us that you have a visitor?" Ani Kuya Reisee.
"Halaaa, Kyrieee! Diba s'ya yung nag hatid sayo sa room?! Yung ano-ano nga ulit pangalan?" Ani pa ni Melka.
"He's Kuya Reisee." Aniko at tinuro si Kuya. Ngumiti naman si Kuya Reisee.
"Ariesee, Aldrin's Brother." Aniya. Napatingin sa'kin si Melka na may kahulugan.
"Hi, hehe. Melshia Katherine Arranzo po, Melka in short." Pag papakilala naman ni Melka rito.
"Ikaw po?" Aniya at tinuro si Kuya Alvix.
"Alvix." Anito ng inaantok pa.
"Ano pala yang dala mo?" Tanong ko.
"Let her sit first, ky." Ani Kuya Reisee.
Napatawa naman ako. "upo ka." Umupo naman si Melka.
"'yan gusto ko, yung gentleman." ani Melka at ngumiti. Natawa naman ako.
Kahit kailan talaga.
"So, ano nga yan?" Turo ko sa dala nyag cake na inilapag nya sa table. Sina Kuya Alvix ay nasa kusina na. Kinukuha ata yung dala ni Kuya Reisee na cake at ang niluto daw ni Kuya Alvix kanina.
"Cake, hehe." Aniya.
"Nag-abala ka pa bumili." Aniko.
Ngumiti s'ya sa'kin. "Oo, nag-abala pa s'ya." Bulong nya na hindi ko narinig.
"Ha?" Taka kong tanong.
"Wala, sabi ko gutom na ako hehe." Aniya. Ngumiti naman ako.
"Bye, bye, kyrieeee. Balik ako here bukasss." Aniya. Ngumiti ako.
Celebrating my birthday with my two kuya's and my friend make my day complete. But, I know in myself it's more complete if he was here. I admit that I waited for him to come home or even just for him to greet me through call or text, but I failed.
He didn't come or even texted me. I just want a greet from him.
Kuya Alvix was already upstairs. Already sleeping, while Kuya Reisee was already gone from his office. Back to work agad so Kuya Reisee. He's the one who's handling their company e.
It was 12 midnight when I heard the door opens. Naka limutan ko pala I-lock. I was sleepy, that's why. I walk sleepy but before I reach the door someone pulled me into a hug and whispered.
"Happy birthday, Kyrie." Aniya. I froze when I heard a familiar voice. Dahan-dahan kong iminulat ang mga mata ko na sya ring pag bitaw nya sa yakap.
There, I saw Ally.
"A-ally?" Takang tanong ko. Why is he here? Nananaginip ba ako?
"Hope you're happy at your day, baby." Aniya at akmang matutumba ng mahawakan ko s'ya.
He's drunk!
Naamoy ko kaagad ang alcohol sakanya.
"Y-you're drunk, Ally!" Pilit kong hininaan ang boses ko.
Oh, no. What am I going to do now?!
He hugs me. "I miss you so much." Bulong nya. I bit my lower lip. I thought he forget about me.
I tried to pushed him but he holds my hand. "Let me stay like this for awhile, please." Bulong nya ulit.
Minsan napapaisip ako. Did he really got ma'am hail pregnant? How? I mean. It's just that.... He told me he loves me then.... I'm confused. Their are some theory in my mind, some of it's saying it's true but sometimes it feels like unreal....
I miss him. When I felt my eyes getting warm agad akong bumitaw sa yakap at mahina syang itinulak.
"Go home, Ally." Aniko at tinalikuran s'ya. I was about to walk upstairs when he holds my hand.
"I'll be back here, soon. Baby..." Aniya bago ako bitawan. Natulala ako. Bakit? Babalik s'ya?
I looked at him as he opens the door and until he's already gone from my sight. Bumalik ako sa may pinto at ni-lock iyon bago sumandal doon.
I'll be back here, soon. Baby
What does he mean by that?
I put my hand at my chest just to feel my heartbeat.
Gosh.
