Khiane Courtney's POV
I was stunned in my chair as the people around me started standing up and clapping to welcome Doctor slash Attorney Alyona Desteen Estrella after being gone for so many years.
I wanted to stand up and clap for her, too, but I couldn't...
Hindi ko alam kung bakit, nakita ko naman na siya kanina't narinig pa ang boses pero ngayong naglalakad na siya sa red carpet ay tila napako ako sa upuan ko!
Kinakabahan ako na hindi ko maintindihan!
I was excited to see her again... kasi ang tagal ng pitong taon, e. Pitong taong hanggang stalk na lang ako sa kaniya... pitong taon na hanggang tingin na lang ako sa estado ng buhay niya gamit ang internet at social media.
Pero ngayon... nandito na talaga siya.
My love's here. She came back.
My eyes followed her figure... until she's finally in front of everyone. She was standing there, looking so elegant.
How could she stand there and look effortlessly beautiful?
"Wow... you are very glowing tonight, Miss Estrella!" Ani emcee na ngayon ay nasa harap, masayang pinagmamasdan si Aly na kasalukuyang umaakyat sa stage.
Naka-hawak siya sa braso ng Daddy niya. Makikita ang resemblance nila sa isa't isa, but like what I noticed before, halo ang mukha nina Mr. and Mrs. Estrella kay Aly.
The moment Aly stood up in the middle of the stage, my brain suddenly stopped functioning when our eyes met.
I never expected that!
I saw how her eyes widened and sparkled. Her mouth also parted, like she wasn't expecting to see me here.
Hindi ako umiwas ng tingin sa kaniya at nakipag-laban pa ng titigin. The time was so damn fast that I didn't realize that she was already starting her speech while still holding our eye contact—no one wanted to break the eye contact.
It was overwhelming, alright, but I liked the feeling. Kung kanina ay kinakabahan dahil nasa paligid ko na siya, lalo pa akong kinabahan nang makita ko siyang papalapit sa table namin.
I unconsciously fixed myself and my chair, stepping back a little. Narinig ko pa ang mariing pag-tawa ni Addy, inaasar ako.
I wanted to smack her head but couldn't because I could feel her staring at me...
"Yna," my ears felt like it was blessed when I heard her now, calm voice, which was completely different from what I heard earlier.
She was probably pissed. I am amaze of how she could switch moods in just a few moments—which she couldn't do before.
Alyona Desteen has a thin string of patience. Kapag naiirita siya sa isang bagay ay pinapakita niya iyon. She was hard to read the first time I saw her but the moment that I was already used to her and her attitude, I realized that she was actually easy to read.
Kasi ipinapakita niya ang emosyon niya, malibang lang sa isang bagay... ang pag-iyak. Ang pagiging vulnerable sa isang bagay... and I am thankful because she let me see it. Ipinakita niya sa akin ang gano'ng side niya, sa gano'ng paraan ay nadadamayan ko siya.
Sabi nga ng mga kaibigan niya noon, they never saw Aly cry, which means I am the only person to see her in that state. Aly cries when she hates something I do. Katulad noong hindi ako nag-text sa kaniya.
She hates it when I forget to update her.
At ngayon... hindi ko alam kung pwede ko pa bang makita ang gano'ng estado niya... kasi hindi ko alam kung makakapasok o papapasukin niya pa ba ako sa buhay niya.
