Part 17
Alex's POV

"I'm sorry if I had some attitude problems the last time we met, just not a good day." he exclaimed

"apology accepted. It's good that you're aware of your own faults." I said.

"ofcourse, better be careful." he answered. "uhm, uuwi ka pa nang tagaytay? "

"nope, I live nearby. I decided to move here para mas convenient." I replied.

"that's nice, I'll visit some time."

After that conversation he began to cook carefully, I can see that he puts his heart into cooking.

"you're a good cook, napag desisyonan mo ba maging chef? "I asked.

He giggled then placed a plate infront of me, plating was nice, I was like in a 5 star restaurant.

"decided but didn't pursued." he said at tinanggal ang apron niya then sat infront of me. "I thought it'd made me cool so I pursued being an aircarft mechanic."

"but you can be more than that." I said, he's wealthy, kayang kaya naman niyang mag aral nang kahit ano.

"but that's what I wanted, Alex. You can't just tell someone to do something they don't like."

He's not mad, hindi rin siya galit magsalita. He looks so calm yet his words were defined.

"I guess so, it's just that I thought you want to be more than an air craft mechanic. You know maraming works." I said to lighten up the mood, I don't wanted to sound offended.

"business man, I hope that suits your concern. How about you? You wanted something else?" maybe he asked because he's sounding like an arrogant

"gusto ko maging business partner ka. Pwede naman yon siguro noh? " natatawa kong sabi.

He laughed at my thoughts "that sounds cool, you're already our business partner. Remember Smith's needs you for a photoshoot on saturday."

"yeah, good thing you reminded me. Where will be the-? " hindi ko pa tapos yung tanong ko he butted in

"wait, di mo alam? " natatawa niyang sabi.

Umiling ako "hinde, walang nabanggit."

"huh? Edi wag ka na pumunta?" mapangasar niyang sabi.

"sige, okay lang saken." sabi ko.

We both laughed.

"my sister wants to meet you, she'll be there at the photoshoot." he said.

"really?  What's her name? Oh I'm excited." I said then finished my meal, he cooks so good.

"Jaxmine. You can call her Jax too but don't forget me ha."he jokingly said.

"ofcourse who would forget your nasty attitude." pabiro ko ding sabi.

"edi wow." sambit niya his phone started ringing then it took awhile for him to finish his call. "sorry about that, your brother's coming over."

After he finished his sentence the door opened at nilabas nito si Kuya. Look so wasted.

"you looked shocked, you didn't know? " Jax said at nilapitan si Kuya.

"what are you doing here? " Kuya asked me. His eyes were damn swollen.

"long story but I ate dinner here." sabi ko.

"go home na. Jax and I have something to talk about." he strongly said, Kuya had been keeping something from me and hindi ko man lang alam kung ano.

"okay, if you say so. Jax thanks for the meal. I'll go now." sabi ko then left.

I know something's not right with Kuya, his eyes looks so sad. Badly, he wanted me to leave. I dont want to push him kasi baka masigawan ako non sa harap ni Jax.

I'm thinking of paying a visit to his house or maybe I should ask ate about what to do. Nakaka curios what happened to him.

I went home, I was lucky enough na walang traffic then I went straight to bed to get some sleep.

Kinabukasan

"his eyes looks so sad, Ate, do you know anything about this? " I asked. I was on a videocall with ate, sobrang nagagambala kasi ako kay Kuya.

"nope, sayo ko lang toh naririnig. What could've happened? " she asked herself. " Dad may know, you should ask him."

I agreed to what ate suggested so I added dad to the group video call.

"what's the matter ladies? What made you call? " Dad asked. He's in his office doing some paper works.

"I saw Kuya last night, parang kakaiyak lang and he looks so drained. You know what happened to him? " I asked.

"for sure kwekwentuhan ka non dad." sabi ni Ate.

We were both waiting for Dad's reply dahil busy pa siya sa pinipirmahan niyang papel.

"Alexander's fine, don't worry about him. He's just tired of work. I recommendended him to take a week off."

Dad sounded like he's lying but have to pretend that I believed so.

"oh-okay. That's good to hear. I have to go now. Bye Dad. Bye Alex." Ate said then left the group call.

"Alex, I mean it. I know you're doubting but trust me on this okay. Wag mo na guluhin si Kuya for awhile." Dad said.

I nodded and smiled "okay, love you." I said then turned off the computer.

It feels heavy being lied onto. Feels like I'm not trusted.

It was raining hard this morning and afternoon classes were suspended. Not happy at all.

"should I call someone? " I asked myself. Sobrang dami kong thoughts that I couldn't contain it to myself.

I was being so close on deciding na kulitin si Kuya but then I remembered what Dad said.

I tried calling ate Pau to seek for some answers pero hindi siya ma contact. She wasn't answering my calls.

*tuddd tuddd tuddd

"putcha naman, I'm damn scared. Come on leave me alone!!!" I shouted na parang lalabas na lahat nang laman loob ko

*tuddd tuddd tuddd

"BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT! " I shouted sobrang natatakot nako from the footsteps upstairs.

What the hell is happening in this fucking room!!! 

I ran outside then suddenly fell out of balance.

"damn! You're being loud again."
