Chapter 67
Jexter removed his sun glasses and wiped his eyes with the back of his hand. Standing beside him as we watched how Tito Joven's coffin slowly gets lowered by the metal bars around, I held his trembling hands.
From my periphery, I saw my mother and Kuya Cyrel standing beside Tita Seira who's hugging the picture frame of Tito Joven's picture.
At gaya ng hiniling ni Tito Joven, sa tabi ng puntod ni Papa siya inilibing.
"Tito Steve diretso po kayo sa bahay nila Jexter. May inihanda pong pag kain sa bahay nila" Nang tuluyan nang mailibing ang kabaong ni Tito ay abala kami nila Lauren sa pag iimbita sa mga nakidalo "Estelle, Jexter's looking for you." Agad naman akong tumango at nag paalam kay Travis nang tapikin niya ang balikat ko.
Walking towards the tent, I headed to his direction.
His eyes are staring into nothingness as you can clearly see its redness. "Love?"
Jexter's eyes met mine, he reached for my hand as he pulled me closer to him.
I slightly reached for his hair and brushed it.
Nang muling mag tama ang mga paningin namin ay nanlumo ako. I brushed his cheek as another tear made it out of his weary eyes "I'm always here, Jex. I love you, okay?" Naluluhang sabi ko kasabay ng pag tango niya.
Kami kami nalang ang naiwan dito sa sementeryo,
kaya naman tuluyan nang naipakita ni Jexter ang pag guho ng mundo niya sa harap ko.
He quietly hugged me and he rested his head on top of mine
"Sasamahan muna namin ni Lauren si Mom sa sasakyan pabalik sa bahay" He whispered as he brushed the back of my head "Then we'll take a ride at Timmy's raptor" I replied with a gentle smile "I love you, Estelle. I love you so much." Jexter cupped my face before planting a kiss on my forehead, making me close my eyes
Elton and I helped our mother from getting inside Timmy's raptor here at the back seat.
May kataasan kasi ang sasakyan ni Timmy
As I sat beside Mama, Elton already headed to the front seat.
Napansin ko ang pag lingon ni Mama "Nasaan pala si Lauren?" She asked "Kasama po nila Tita Seira, Travis at Jexter sa mercedes nila" Sagot naman ni Timothy
Being a business tycoon, they have their own luxurious mercedens-benz maybach.
"Nangangamoy kasalan na po kasi"
Napa lingon naman kaming lahat kay Timothy "Is Travis going to propose already?" Tanong ulit ni Mama. "I'm not sure, Tita. Magulo po kasi ang utak ng isang 'yon, he's still having the jitters."
Natatawang sabi ni Timothy "As long as he's ready to support Reilynne's needs. Ilang taon narin silang magka relasyon. Oh siya, dito nalang ako sa flower shop"
"Bye, Ma." I said as I kissed her cheek
