Must Not Fall Inlove

Part 23
Alex's POV

Nagsalubong naman ang kilay ni Jax, he's disliking my idea lalo na the way I talk to him, but he's way too irritating. Parang tanga.

"Alex, stop being so immature." he calmly said, I kniw he's keeping his anger in.

"immature?" pag lilinaw ko.

"okay let's stop arguing, I'll just stay here and I'll check you from time to time then you can accompany your friend." he suggested, bakit ba kasi ayaw pa netong umalis?

I know sobrang busy niya sa buhay bakit sakin pa niya nilalaan yung free time niya.

"okay, Jax thank you, you know you can leave na to spend some time with your family, I'm good. Thanks to you." kalmado kong sabi.

I've realized what he was doing for me and siguro dapat nga'y di ko na siya binubungangaan.

"you're welcome, Alex. Don't worry about me, worry about yourself."

Tumango ako "okay." sabi ko then turned my back at him.

Trip seems to be uncomfortable with Jax being around pero kung titignan mo naman si Jax he seems cool with it.

"sorry for taking so long, I've already eaten lunch, ikaw ba? " I asked, he just told me he just woke up kaya for sure hindi pa siya kumakain.

"not yet, that's why I brought some food for us." mahina niyang sabi.

I suddenly felt my head aching.

"Alex I think you should just lay down." I heared Jax talking habang papalapit.

"nope, I've got this. Lex, I'll help you ha." sabi sakin ni Trip at tinulungan akong maka akyat sa taas.

Guminhawa naman yung pakiramdam ko nang makahiga na ko, I didn't knew sickness would be this worse.

"hopefully I'll get better the next day, sobrang hirap mag kasakit." sabi ko kay Trip whose sitting down on my vanity chair.

"you should get better baka araw araw nang nandito si Jax pag may sakit ka pa." sabi niya saakin.

Tumawa naman ako nang mahina, "Kuya couldn't make it kaya siya yung pinakiusapan na mag bantay saakin."

Tumango tango naman si Trip, "cool." mahina niyang sabi.

Kinabukasan

Jax just left a letter at my laptop saying that he has to go and he'll just check on me sooner.

Trip was there when I woke up pero tulog na siya sa may vanity table ko si I woke him up para makauwi na siya at makaligo dahil we still have classes later.

/school/

"can I see your works so that we can decide." sabi nang prof namin, they were deciding sinong students ang maipapadala nila sa Hongkong for some exhibits.

I dont know kung lucky ba talaga sila or just a pain in the ass. Specially kase kailangan mong mag cope up with school pag balik mo nang pinas.

"this one's nice Ms. Fernández, yours too Mr. Wagner" sabi nang Prof habang natango tango with the judges.

"seems like we're both having a vacation at Hongkong." pabulong na sabi ni Trip.

"sige,enjoy. I'm not interested tho. " sabi ko while fixing some stuffs.

"why? You have plans with Jax? " mapang asar niyang sabi

I looked at him, his eyes mean something pero he's just like practically joking.

"He's just a family friend, someone sounds so jealous." pang aasar ko sakaniya.

"I was just asking, hindi yon pagseselos." he said and nakangiti siya, parang nangaasar.

"I wasn't just interested, ayoko kasing maghabol sa lessons." pagliliwanag ko.

Our prof started to grab everyone's attention as they would announce their chosen winners.

"I just wanted to clarify that all the expenses here were coming from our school, so you don't have to worry about it."

I just used my phone, hindi talaga ako interesado sa kung ano pang sabihin ni Prof.

"Mr. Timothy Wagner." sabi nang prof namin.

"may kaapilido ka pala Trip." sabi ko sakaniya.

"silly." sabi niya at lumapit sa harap.

So he's Timothy? I didn't know that was his name, akal ko Trip lang.

"Ms. Alexis Fernández."

I suddenly felt eyes looking at me, I didn't even want this.

Lumapit na rin ako sa harap at tumabi kay Trip. We started to smile for some pictures.

"congratulations Mr. Wagner and Ms. Fernández. We'll just be informing your parents about this and probably send the airplane tickets through email."

"thankyou." sabi ko then headed back sa table namin.

After class, sinabayan ako ni Trip pumunta sa parking lot he was talking a lot about our carved wood exhibition in Hongkong.

He seemed so excited and happy.

"I didn't knew na pangalan mo pala Timothy." sabi ko sakaniya

He grinned, parang nandidiri sa pangalan niya.

"panget pakinggan, Trip na lang." sabi niya saken at inakbayan ako. "ikaw nga Alexis eh, di mo naman sinabe saken Alexis pala full name mo."

Tinawanan ko naman siya, "edi Alexis pangalan ko, napansin mo ba tatlo kaming Alex? " I asked.

"so Alex din yung ate mo? Pano pag tinawag kayo sa bahay like Alex!! Edi tatlo kayong tinatawag? " then he laughed

Umiling ako, "no one shouts there eh, they usually knock on our rooms kapag tawag kami, wag kang oa." sabi ko sakaniya

"you're rich, I forgot." sabi niya

Ramdam ko naman yung pag vibrate nang phone ko, I tookt it out from my pocket then immediately answered the call.

"Tristan? What made you call? "
[Alex, this is not Tristan, mama niya ito]
"yes, Tita? Where's Tristan po?"
[p-patay na siya, Alex. I just called to let you know about it]
"a-ah k-kelan po? A-anong po nangyari? "
[suicide iha... ]

The line went crappy and after the call I bursted out.

Tristan you stupid ass! Suicide isn't the answer.

I suddenly felt warm arms wrapped around me and I buried my face on Trip's chest. I couldn't help myself but to cry.

How could he just leave us here, hindi man lang niya naisip yung family niya with that thought.

"hush down, it's fine." Trip tried to calm me down while rubbing my back.
