Alex's POV

"who's he? " Kuya immediately asked nang pag kasakay ko palang nang kotse niya.

"oh just an irritated classmate of mine." I answered, I don't wanted to make his introduction sweet, baka mas marami pang itanong ito si kuya.

"irritated? Baka gusto ka." he said at nag maneho na. "you had a long day, haven't you? "

Tinignan ko naman yung sarili ko sa phone ko, I look tired at masyado nang magulo yung buhok ko. "Yup, hopefully makakatulog ako sa kotse mo." I answered.

Kuya kept quiet at finally nakatulog na ako bago pa kami makarating sa bahay.

When I woke up nasa cavite palang kami pero buti malapit lapit na.

"Pau, alam mo naman na I picked up Alex from school bat ka ba nagagalit? " rinig kong usap ni Kuya while on phone.

"no, you have to understand that I also have my own obligations lalo nat nasa pinas tayo."

"yes, I'm on my way home."

Pinilit ko na lang ipikit yung mata ko para di niya mahalatang nakikinig ako sa usapan nilang dalawa, ngayon ko lang kasi narinig silang mag karoon nang argument.

Buti nakabalik ako sa tulog at pag gising ko nasa tapat na kami nang bahay.

"you go ahead, uuwi nako sa bahay ko." alam kong pagod na si Kuya, sa tono pa lang nang pananalita niya mapapansin mo nang napapagod na siya.

I smiled at him "ingat ka, thanks for your time." I said at bumaba na sa kotse niya

Dumiretso na agad ako sa kwarto, matutulog na ako dahil papasok nanaman ako bukas.

Kinabukasan

Mamayang hapon pa ang class ko pero maaga akong umalis sa bahay kasama si Dad.

Nabanggit ko kasi sakaniyang medyo nahihirapan na akong pabalik balik sa Tagaytay papuntang Parañaque, madalas ay traffic pa kaya nakaka drain masyado nang energy.

"you really sure mag ste stay ka sa penthouse? " Dad asked, I know naman na maiiwan si Dad mag isa sa bahay dahil nga dun din natutulog si Kuya sa bahay niya.

"mas better dad, tsaka isang sem na lang naman tong papasukan ko, I'll work na after this." I told him, I was thankful to know that may ganoon palang course, I have graduated this year lang tas nag mamasters lang naman ako.

"okay, as long as you're comfortable with it, it's fine with me." he said at patuloy na nag drive "anyways, you have classes on saturday? Sa sabado na kasi yung shoot mo for the billboard."

Napaawang naman ang labi ko, halos nakalimutan ko na kasi yon sa dami kong ginawa the past few weeks.

"I'll check, for sure pupunta ako don." I said then looked away.

Dad owned this penthouse na malapit lang din sa Parañaque, hindi nga lang siya nag ste stay dito dahil mas pinipili niya nang umuwi sa Tagaytay kesa dito.

"this is huge." I said nang pagakyat ko nang mga maleta ko.

"I know, linisin mo toh ha." mapang asar na sabi ni Dad saakin. "wish I could stay longer unfortunately may meeting ako."

I smiled at Dad at niyakap siya "take care, Dad. Take for driving me here."

"yup, I'll just send your car here ah. Someone will deliver your keys." he said and then left.

I jumped out of excitement dahil first time ko living alone, feel ko adult nako.

"damn, this place is huge." I said at umakyat para humiga sa kama.

I have planned to cook a meal for myself since nag grocery naman sila at hinatid dito ang mga pinamili.

I simply cooked some pesto dahil in an hour kailangan ko na rin pumasok at I want something that I can preheat kung magutom man ako mamaya.

How's everything going?

I was waiting for the water to boil kaya sinagot ko na agad yung chat saakin ni Ate.

To: Alexandra Fernández
Fineee, just moved out of the house para mas madali, how are you?

From: Alexandra Fernández
really? God you're an adult now. Hectic classes had been with me for the past week. Wish I could come to your place and talk more.

To: Alexandra Fernández
Oh same, my morning classes kills me. We could talk more. Please come home na I miss you.

From: Alexandra Fernández
How I wish I could take an eaely break through this school works, I'm not even sure if I can make it to Christmas eve.

Ate's last chat left me with sadness, it's probably my first Christmas without her kung hindi man talaga siya makakapunta, she shouldn't have gone far para nakakasama parin sana namin siya ngayon.

I know I should've prepared for this, sinabi niya na kasi saakin na sobrang magiging busy siya kung sa ibang bansa siya mag aaral.

Ate was almost like a Mom for me, sobrang nag pakatatag si ate para saamin, stronger than Kuya. Kuya went on a huge depression after mom's death. While Ate kept on encouraging us and telling that someday we'll be able to accept our loss.

It still hits me hard how God took his angel back to his kingdom, Mom meant everything specially saamin.

I took my time on realizing that I'll be able to live on my own at I just kept the sadness away from me. I just appreciate things that were happening to me.

I decided to play some music to celebrate my happiness all over the place.

"SHAKE IT OH SHAKE IT!!!"

i sang at the top of my lungs.

*knock knock

I was startled with a knock, napatigil yung pag sasaya ko dahil doon.

I was so hesitant to open the door, baka kasi kung sino ito. Or baka ito yung mga kakatok tas bigla akong patayin.

I did the sign of the cross at pikit mata kong binuksan yung pinto.

"can you turn down your music, miss? " the boy asked.

His voice sound so irritated at parang nabubulabog ko nga siya sa pinapatugtog ko.

I slowly opened my eyes to see who's talking.

"hala? Ikaw? "
