A Love like no Other

Chapter 11: Tears

Daniel's POV

Kapag minamalas nga naman noh? Bakit ko ba kasi kailangang maging partner ko si Alexa ay este Kath?

Psh. Haha Panigurado.. hindi yun marunong kumanta. Besides, I never heard her sing. Noong bata kami.. hindi naman siya mahilig kumanta. Ewan ko nalang kung kumakanta siya simula noong umalis siya sa Pilipinas. Bakit pa kasi siya bumalik. NAKAKABWISIT!!

"Hey Alex!" nakangiting bati saakin ni Alexa. Speaking of the devil. Hindi ko nalang siya pinansin.

Sinusundan pa rin niya ako hanggang ngayon. I can see that she's really struggling to cope up with my pace.

"Uh- Uhm.. ano pala ang kakantahin natin sa... uhm sa performance n- natin?" she said.

Hay.. eto nanaman ang kakulitan nitong babaeng to eh. Kung hindi lang siya anak ng kaibigan ni Mommy... hindi ko siya pagtyatyagahan.

"Ako na bahala doon. Let's just meet up later after school. Come to my place. Im sure namiss ka na rin ni mama." Sabi ko sakanya without even looking at her. Dirediretso nalang ako sa room.

"O-okay.." halos pabulong niyang sabi.

Hmmm.. Okay... I think oras na ito to defend my side. Kaya ko siya sinasaktan ay dahil naiirita na ako sakanya. All my life... she has been with me.. pero parang, I've always hated her presence. It's like everything she does... annoys the hell out of me.

Let's face it... we can never be together. I love another girl and she's my world. I love her. I love THE Zharm Ariola. J

Yet again... It is music class and our Prof is already here.

"ok class.. since mabait ako today, hindi tayo magklaklase.."

Nagbunyi naman ang buong room

"... ap ap ap! Pero.. pero pero.. I would let you use this time for your practice. I expect lots from you. Hala sige... go to your respective partners." Pagpapatuloy niya.

Nilibot ko ang mata ko pero hindi ko nakita si Alexa. Sa katunayan.. after ng paguusap naming kanina.. hindi ko pa siya nakikitang pumasok sa room. Asan kaya yun?

Aish! Ba't ko ba hinahanap yung babaeng yun?

Ah basta! Hinahanap ko siya kasi kailangan naming magpractice!

Hinanap ko na siya sa buong school pero hindi ko parin siya mahanap.

Teka..... isang lugar na lang ang alam kong hindi ko pa na check.

Pumunta ako sa school garden. Hindi ito yung garden na pinupuntahan ng madaming students sa school. This is the garden that got abandoned.

A garden that I know that is special to Alexa.

Noong bata pa kami... we used to be close. Yup.. you read it right. We were the best of friends. Until she left me.... She went to the US without even telling me and came back several years after. Mula noon... kinukulit na niya ako. She was begging for forgiveness and I cant seem to find in myself to forgive her.

My memories with her are buried in a hatchet.

I rushed to the garden and to my surprise... I saw her there... crying... she looks so vulnerable.

Nilapitan ko siya. I heard her utter the words out of her heart. It was filled with pain.

"Why can't he love me... Alam ko, im in no position to ask this.. but, Why?"

"I'm never good enough for anyone...." she said. Those words... went right through me.

"Alexa...." I finally said. Tumingala siya and I saw her eyes. Even though I wouldn't have heard those questions a while back... I'd still know her problem cause her eyes speaks for itself.

She looks hurt... and broken..

She looks so fragile..

Alexa's POV

"Why can't he love me... Alam ko, im in no position to ask this.. but, Why?"

"I'm never good enough for anyone...."

Ang sakit lang talaga.. hindi ko na napigilang ang mga emosyon ko

Hay... ang drama naman ng buhay ko...

"Alexa...." what..? i'd know that voice anywhere...

Tumingin ako sa likod ko.. I saw Alex. I saw concern in his eyes. One thing i've never seen him give me.

Concern...

"Lex... Dont cry please..." he said as he sat next to me.

"A-alex?... anong ginagawa mo dito?"

"I was looking for you... kailangan na nating magpractice.."

"A-ay S-sorry. Ngayon ko pa naisipang magdrama kung kailan magprapractice na... im sorry."

sabi ko habang pinupunasan ang mga luha ko.

"No.No. It's fine. soo.. ano? tara na?"

"Yeah. Let;s go..." sabi ko trying to look put myself together and be tough.

We left the garden and went to the music room. Apparently, no one is in here so we have the place all to ourselves.

"Anong kakantahin natin?" tanong ko sakanya.

"I Wont give Up..." sagot naman niya.

Shet. haha oo nga naman. I will never give up on him. Even if i die trying. lol. lumalovelife aketch :P
