"Rainbow comes after the storm."
***
Tahimik ko lang na sinundan nang tingin ang bawat galaw ni Alexander, from putting me down to bed, pulling out my shoes unto giving me a glass of water. I wanted to thank him, yet my lips were too exhausted to utter anything.
Hindi ko pa alam ang gagawin o iisipin, ang alam ko lang ay gusto kong manahimik. Not only because the incident disrupted my sanity, for it makes me dreadful in the hereafter as well.
"You have to take a shower before you sleep." Paalala niya.
Makalipas ang ilang minuto ay hindi ko na tiis na hindi magsalita,
"Will you be waiting for me here hanggang sa matapos ako?"
"I'll tell your maid to do that." Tumango lang ako tsaka ito naglakad palabas.
...
Kinabukasan matapos kong gawin ang mga dapat gawin ay lumabas na ako agad to confront Alexander, about his plan behind the play he put on around Henry yesterday night.
"Do you need anything?"
"I want to talk to Alexander." Tugon ko sa maid ko.
"He isn't here yet."
"What? You mean, he wasn't here the whole night?" Nagkibit balikat ito at nanatili sa kinatatayuan.
Bumuntong hininga ako ng malalim habang nag-iisip,
"I guess, I'll wait for him at the living room instead." Then I started to drag myself downstairs.
"How about a breakfast while waiting?" I just nodded at her offer ng hindi lumilingon.
After hours of waiting, sa wakas ay narinig ko na rin ang tunog nang sasakyan niya. Agad akong napatayo bago paman bumukas ang pinto.
"Where were you?" I asked him as he stepped in. He looked taken aback by my sudden question but was quick to get on his toes.
His infamous lazy eyes scrutinized me before he preceded. And so I followed him but his goon was quick to block me. He's the same guard who tails Alexander wherever we go, so I gues, this bulky man who unnaturally glaring at me with those intimidating eyes of his is Alexander's trustee c
"Let me pass." Nakataas ang kilay kong sinita ito.
"I only take orders from my master." He just said it blandly. Nahawa na yata 'to sa master niya.
"But, Alex I wanted to talk to you!" I holler after him. Napatigil naman ito at agad tumugon,
"Let her." Right after that, I smirk smugly at his ever-loyal guard.
Few seconds later, ay nasa office na kami. Matapos nitong hubarin ang suit at maka-upo sa recliner ay tinapunan na niya ako ng tingin,
"Spill it." He said in a seemingly uninterested tone.
Nagkusa ako na maupo bago pa niya ako alukin.
I've been thinking this for the zillionth times and it keeps me restless.
"Are you planning to marry me?" The question flews from my mouth without delay. The muscle in his jaw made a flicked, gathering his thoughts immediately he leaned his back on his recliner. His eyes answer me instead.
