My wound has become a scar but inside it is still a fresh cut, because it hurts when I move for a long time or when I get cold. Soon, I will be able to move properly, papayagan na ko nila lola at parents ko na pumunta kay Alex
"Cess. Princess. Cess. Cess Princess..." I stopped thinking, I heard my name over and over again. I turned to lola Tessie, lolo Fred and Nina, their eyes worried as they looked at me. They do not need to worry. Gosh
"okay ka lang apo?" I just nodded and continued to eat breakfast. I noticed they were about to finish, for me it was almost whole pa. Pero okay lang sakin para maiwan akong mag-isa sa mesa. Wala ako sa mood, pinilit ko lang kumain para di malungkot si lola. Naligo ako ng maaga baka sakaling magising ang diwa ko pero tinatamad talaga ako
Everyone continued eating and kept quiet but only for a short time, because my parents came. They exchanged good morning but I was just quiet and did not feel like talking
"ahm. Anak, kamusta kayo ni Alex" nagbuntong hininga ako ng marinig ko ang pangalan ni Alex
"okay lang" sagot ko agad sa mga magulang ko para di na sila magtanong uli
I know Alex's situation is fine. Barbie always visits Alex so I'm sure Alex takes good care of her. I tried many times to call and text Alex but her phone always turned off. Fortunately, I have a kind cousin who informs me when she passes by Alex's house. That's why I am very grateful to Nina
"that's good. And finally, lumabas ka na din ng room mo. Nag-enjoy ba kayo ni Alex?" my mom asked
"ha?" I stopped eating because my mother was saying something I couldn't understand. Nakakaenjoy ba yung may sugat sa tyan tapos di ko nakikita ang girlfriend ko dahil ayaw sakin ng magulang nya. Nang-aasar ata to
"ahm. Nakita ko kasi si Alex sa mall last week, I-I thought na-na magkasama kayo. I went to the mall because I bought something. I went to the cinema first before going home, tumingin ako ng new movies para sa susunod na date namen ni daddy mo tapos I saw Alex enter the cinema..."
"she's not Alex!" I stood up before my mom finished. I know she doesn't like Alex, but she shouldn't make a story
They all called my name but I continued to climb the stairs. I did not finish my meal. I hurried up the stairs and knocked on the door as I entered the room. I know mom thinks Alex is with someone else. But I will not believe, Alex loves me
Hindi nakikita ni Nina si Alex, kasi nga nasa loob ng bahay, what mom saw was not true. Nina will not lie. I believe in my cousin, mom just messes up my mind
Because of my fast movements my stomach ached so I grabbed my stomach and lay down on the bed. I took a deep breath, I also changed my position to stand, sit, lie down or tilt to get rid of the pain
after like forever I forced myself to stand up. Because of the pain in my wound and the pain in my heart, I did not realize that I was crying. And I still managed to opened the drawer next to the bed to find my phone. I want to talk to Alex so that I can know for myself that Alex is not fooling me
My face and clothe were wet with tears and sweat, my belongings were scattered, I also turned over the drawers but I couldn't really find what I was looking for
I haven't been able to hold my cellphone for a few days because I can't talk to Alex. I can't remember where I put my fucking cellphone, so I just rely on Nina's news
"Princess, Cess" lola Tessie and my parents showed up at the door but I ignored them. I'm annoyed because I seem to be looking for nothing. Parang gusto kong manakit. Puta
Nina and lolo Fred next appeared at the door. I had a hard time walking but I was still able to get close to Nina. I stared at her and held the collar of her dress tightly
"tell me the fucking truth Nina. Saan mo nakikita si Alex?" I shouted. Everyone was shocked and scared by what I did. Nina also pulls her clothes until they are torn
"Princess. Bitawan mo ko. Nasa bahay nila. Nasasaktan ako Princess" sumigaw din sa mukha ko si Nina pero di ako nagpatinag
"sagutin mo ako, san mo nakikita, Nina?"
My dad approached me and pulled me away from Nina. Because of the tears so my eyes were blurred, I did not see Nina's fist and hit my cheek. I let go of Nina and she pushed me so I fell to the floor. My knees are weak so I can't stand, and I already have blood on my lips
"fuck you. Sinasabi ko sayo ang lahat ng nalalaman ko Princess. I am not lying. I'm just helping you, don't be mean to that. Fuck" si Nina naman ang hinawakan ni daddy para awatin at di makalapit sakin. Lumapit naman sakin si mommy at hahawakan din sana ako pero hinawi ko agad sya
"hindi ko kailangan ng tulong nyo" tama lang ang lakas ng boses ko pero may pagdidiin. Nakatayo na ako, inangat ko din ang damit ko para punasan ang basa kong mukha
"anak, Cess, tama na. Wag mong awayin ang pinsan mo..." umaawat ang lahat pero ang boses ng mommy ko ang malinaw kong naririnig. Tumingin ako kay mommy, natakot sya sakin kaya huminto sya sa pagsasalita at umatras pa ng konti
"ikaw ang tumigil. Akala ko tinanggap mo na si Alex, pero mali ako. Niloloko nyo ko" hindi na gumalaw ang mommy ko, namumula na din ang mga mata nya na anytime ay luluha na. Bago magreact si mom, paika-ika akong naglakad palayo sa kanila
"apo, dito ka lang, wag kang umalis" nagmamakaawa si lola pero hindi ako huminto hanggang makalabas ako ng bahay at naramdaman ko na ang malimig na hangin ng gabi. Mas nakakaawa ako kung di ko na makikita si Alex, kung mapupunta sya sa iba
I want to prove to Nina that I do not need their help. I also want to prove to my mom that Alex is not dating with another fucking person. Alex is the only one I love, no one else. Alex is just mine
I was already standing in front of my destination. My whole body was shaking due to the cold night and tired. So I took a deep breath before knocked
The door opened and Alex's mom stared at me. She does not move and the reaction is blank. I understand because I suddenly showed up
"gusto ko pong makita si Alex"
Masyado akong straight forward. Nakalimutan kong hindi ako gusto ng parents ni Alex pero kailangan kong makita si Alex. Saktan na ako ng mama ni Alex pero pipilitin ko hanggang makita si Alex
"umalis sya" sumagot naman agad sya
Walang masamang ginawa ang mama ni Alex pero nanlisik ang mga mata ko dahil sa narinig ko. Tinatago nya siguro si Alex o tama si mommy na may ibang kasama si Alex
