If I Ain't Got You

34 - What happened next

"Mommy Chienna" and Czarina ran to me with Jerome. "Ang kulit!" He said. Hinihingal pa sya at natatawa "Mommy. How are you? Are you okay now? Dada told me you were sick and so I nagged him and visited you. Luckily my charm worked on him he brought me here. He's just seating at home naman e. " sabi nya tapos nag peace sign kay Jerome. Is she really only 2 yrs old? turning 3 actually. So it's been 2 yrs talaga. "Im okay baby Cza. Go to Ate Ching and ask for merienda okay?" She nodded and ran to the kitchen. "Thanks Jerome. Buti naman nadala mo sya dito. I really missed her" "wala yon. Ang kulit e. Kelan ka babalik sa taping mo? Ang dami na nakakamiss sayo. Philippine's Top Model host." I smiled lang. Dumating naman si Cza may dalang pagkain nya. tumabi sya sakin kaya pinakain ko sya.

Few minutes later
"Sige una nako Chie. May puntahan pako e. Bye. Cza. Wag ka makulit dito sa Mommy Chienna mo. Tita Janell will fetch you later." "Okay" cza said and continued playing. "Salamat jerome" and he left.

"Mommy Chienna. Tito Alex is here in the Philippines. He said say hi to your mommy for me." I did not mind Cza. i do not have anything to say to him anyways. Since he left I never heard anything anymore.

And after we hAd dinner, Janell came. Jerome's fiancee. She fetched Cza and brought her home.

Calling ... Kathryn Padilla

"Hello Kath?"

"Chie. Dinner ka dito sa bahay tomorrow. Okay ka na naman di ba? Ilang araw kana kaya nalalabas ng hospitaaal."

"Sure thing Kat Kat. But wait. Will Alex be there?"

"Uhmmm. Yah. But please go. I miss you."

"I miss you too. Tagal nyo sa ibang bansa e. International actress naman talaga."

"K chienna. K! Hahah. Sige na. Nandito na si Elle mangungulit na to."

"Sige bye.. tomorrow na lang"

After Khia's episode everything turned around. Kath and DJ became Internatiol actors. I became a model and host. Alex left for the Canada and became a known online personality. I stalked him for some months. Si Nadine ung nagsabing online personality si Alex. I was so weak for quite a long period but jerome was there but we didnt worked for long. We remained friends tho.

....

Janell came with Czarina sa dinner.

"Mommy Chienna. Look at this dress.Tita Janell bought this. Do i look like a prinsesa?" She asked then make a turn "you are truly a princess."

"Chienna. Pangit mo! Bakit ka ba nadengue?" "Ay nako DJ. Kinaibigan ko ung lamok. Kamusta? Kelan premier ng movie nyo dito?"
"Next week na. Punta ka red carpet. O yan nandyan na si Kath. BTW. Si patricia ang nag organize nito with Eunice. Kaaath. Dito!" Kath loooked at us "baby let's go get ice cream!!" He left me and Kath came "namiss kita." We hugged and she was in tears "oa mo kath. Ano? Ganda mo lalo"

"Kath san ko to dada - oh. Hi! Kamusta ka?" Alex. Yaaah. Him "im fine. Ikaw ba?" Awkward "im okay. Good to see you" i smiled and he walked out. "Uhmm Chie? Okay ka lang?" "Shocked." I answered. Nagpunta kami sa may living room nila and then James and Nadine came. We chat for a while and when dinner's ready we went to where the dinner is served, the garden.

"Okay wait. Picture first" Nadine you never changed. "KathNiel. JaDine LizQuen and Chie...lex" natigilan kaming lahat "sorry guys. I just missed us. Change caption to forever!" Bumulong sakin si James ng Sorry and I said okay lang.

Imissed us too.

Nag kwentuhan lang kami ng konti tsaka naghiwalay. Dahil nanggaling din si Jerome sa dinner, hinatid nya ako, si Janell dun naman yun nakatira. Kapatid ni DJ un e.

"Okay lang ba kayo ni Alex?" Tanong nya sakin. Hindi ko alam ang isasagot ko sa kanya kaya ngumiti na lang ako "ay nako chienna. Paalala ko lang. First bday ng anak ni Patricia at Jon in 3 days. We'll go. Kasama si Cza."

Natahimik na kami pareho kaya nagsalita na sya muli "i remember that day. Those days actually. We waited for Alex to return but he did not. You were so broken. You almost died when we saw him driving in Tagaytay and you na di naman bihasang mag drive, raced to follow him and your car crashed. Swerte mo nabuhay ka."
"Ang OA. Nabangga lang ako sa poste." That's the truth. "Aalis na ulit sina Kath bukas. May aayusin sa LA di ba?" I nodded. Few days lang naman wala sina Kath. "Hey. Sayo muna si Cza? Sabi rin ni Janell. May tour kasi ako sa Davao. Sama ko sana si Cza. Kaso sabi ni Janell baka daw gusto mo sayo muna. Ayaw din kasi bumyahe ni Cza. DJ suggested that too" nag smile at nod lang ako.

Pag uwi ko tsaka ko lang nakita fone ko 'Im here in the Philippines. I heard di kayo nagkaayos ni Alex. Sorry -Khia' i replied to her 'it's okay. What happened, happened already. '

Calling ... Nadine Stanford

"Chie. Punta ka dito bahay namin ni James. Alex is so drunk"

"Nadz. Im resting na. Kaya nya sarili nya. Text Mae if you want."

"He's shouting your name. Crying."

"I've been there Nadine and you know that. Im going to sleep now"

"But"

"Nadz."

"Okay" there she ended the call.

Everyone knows the situation i've been for him.
