It Was You, All Along

Chapter 1

These past few days, napapansin ni Alexa na parang naging cold si Ken sa kanya, Ken is her long time boyfriend for 5 years.

Matagal na neto gustong I level up ang relationship nila,
in short gusto nito na may mangyari na sa kanila, total eh matagal naman na sila at hindi na eto kontento sa pahalik, halik nalang.

Noong nakaraan araw ay nagkaroon kasi sila nag pagtatalo nung itangka netong ipasok sa loob ng shirt ni Alexa ang kamay neto, habang naghahalikan Sila.

Nagalit si Alexa, pero mas nagalit si Ken. "Ano ba Ken, alam mo naman na hindi pa ako handa Diba?" Si Alexa,

"Ganito nalang ba tayo palage, Alexa, lalaki ako! At may pangangailangan! Ano ba naman kung gawin naten yun, eh mag karelasyon naman tayo! Si Ken.

"Eh sa hindi ko pa kaya eh!" Si Alexa.

"Bahala ka sa buhay mo! Bwesit! Ka Arte!" Sagot ni Ken at umalis sa bahay ni Alexa sabay balibag ng pinto.

Naiwang mangiyak-ngiyak si Alexa sa nangyari.

After almost a week, walang paramdam si Ken, walang text, walang tawag. At dahil don, nag pasya si Alexa na suyuin na ang kasintahan, ganun naman kasi palagi. Pag nag away sila dahil hindi napag bigyan ni Alexa si Ken, ay hindi sya neto kikibuin ng ilang araw, at sya ang mag ieffort na para mag kaayos Sila.

At dahil off nmn sya ngayon, nag pasya syang puntahan eto sa bahay nila.

Pag dating nya sa bahay nila Ken ay nalasalubong nya ang kasambahay at para itong nagulat pagka kita sa kanya.

"Ay Ate Alex, nandito ka pala, ay wala dito si Kuya nasa taas, ay umalis pala" tarantang sabi neto.

Right there and then, alam nya something is wrong. Pero nagpaka cool pa din sya at biniro pa ang katulong, "Len relax, ako lang to, hahaha" sabay tawa. "Akyatin ko na si Ken ha" dagdag pa nya. "Ay Ate, wag po Kasi Kasi" pigil ni Len.

Mas lalo pang tumindi ang kaba no Alexa, kasi alam nya may something. Kaya walang sabi-sabi ay tinalikuran nya Ang katulong at umakyat sa kwarto ni Ken.

Nung papalapit na sya sa kwarto, alam nya may something off, kasi parang may nag lalandian sa loob.

"Ano ba Baby, wag dyan" Sabi nong boses babae.
"Shit! Ang sarap sarap mo talaga Babe" sagot naman ni Ken.

"Ahhh, sige pa Baby, ganyan nga Ang sarap mo talaga kumain, kaya nga mahal na mahal na mahal kita eh" Sabi pa nung babae sa malanding boses.

Ang ikinagulat ni Alexa dahil sumagot si Ken sa babae na "I love you too, Jasmin, Ikaw lang Babe, Ikaw lang"

Nag froze si Alexa sa narinig, Jasmin, si Jasmin na best friend nya? Simula pagkabata, at ang boyfriend Nya?

Hindi na naka pag pigil pa si Alexa, pabalibag nyang binuksan ang kwarto ni Ken at nakita nyang naka patong ang boyfriend nya sa best friend nya habang sumasayaw ng walang tugtug.

Hindi pa sya napansin nong una, pero nagulat si Ken ng paglingon nya nandon ang girlfriend nyang naka tayo sa harapan nila.

"Anong ginagawa mo dito?" Yan lang Ang tanging na sabi ni Ken Kay Alexa, at walang bahid Ng ano mang pasisi sa mukha ng dalawa.

"Kasalanan mo rin naman kung bat ako nag hanap ng iba, saka anong magagawa ko, nandito si Jasmin para pasayahin ako, Kaya nyang ibigay ang mga bagay na hindi mo kaya" mayabang pang sabi nito.

"By the way, Lex I'm pregnant, so you better back off" sagot pa ni Jasmin, na parang ibang-iba sa Jasmin na best friend nya.

"You deserve each other anyway" yun lang ang nasabi ni Alexa at umalis na eto sa kwarto at pabalibag na isinara ang pinto.

She hurriedly went inside her car and drove home. But one thing she noticed, she never cry even a single tear. But yes, nasakitan yung ego nya.

Pagkauwi sa bahay ay dumiretcho na sya sa kanyang kwarto at nag mukmuk buong araw, yun nga lang hindi sya umiyak.

She spent a few days just in her room, lalabas lang sya para kumain then babalik nanaman ulet sa kwarto Nya. She still do her usual routine which is working the whole day then after her shift ends, mag mumuk-mok nanaman ulet.
Either Jasmin her best friend or Ken his ex, don't even bother to explain or kahit puntahan man lamang sya.

Then, one day while she was browsing on her FB account, she saw a vlog about how beautiful Palawan Island is.

Nainganyo sya and right and then she decided to pack her things and book a ticket going to Palawan.

It was a quick decision, pero sabi nya, bahala na! "I need a break, I need time for myself"

She made sure that her house is lock before she drove her car to her cousin's house para iiwan ang sasakyan nya. She can bring her car with her kaya lang baka mawala pa sya lalo na at broken pa naman.

When she gets to her cousin's house, sinabi nya nalang na may work related kaya nya kailangan pumunta ng Palawan, though her cousin was not convinced with her alibi.

Kasi alam neto na Australian based naman ang trabaho nya. Paanong kailangan sa Palawan?

After a few minutes na kwentuhan, she asked his cousin to bring her to the airport para hindi na sya ma late sa flight.

The whole ride going to the airport was so quiet.

Alam nya, his cousin knows, pero chose to respect her privacy.

And when they get to the airport, and after his cousin took all her baggage at the back of the trank, he hug her "I know something is wrong, pero if you need me, you know I'm here for you, I love you cuz"
Ahe tried to contain her feelings, pero right there and then, her tears fell down.
His cousin hugged her tight. "Kaya mo yan, I hope you're ok when you get back, ingat" then they release their hug and his cousin kiss her on the chick and she left.

The whole time while she was waiting for her flight nasa gilid lang sya and trying not to catch anyone's attention while she was crying.

Para bang ngayon pa lang nag sink in lahat ng sakit sa panloloko Ng ex nya at ng best friend nya.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are now ready to begin boarding for Flight PR 375 with service to Puerto Prinsesa Palawan from Gate 137 Please have your boarding pass and ID ready.....

Nagulat nalang sya ng marinig ang boarding announcement.

She slowly get up and carried her back pack and go straight to the line.

I'll enjoy my stay in Palawan, when I get back, I'll be better. A lot better.
