Chapter 29
He had a problem looking at Alexendris lying on his sofa. Inflamed by fever. Why did this man go to the rain?
He kept on murmuring that he could not understand. If he hadn't had a fever, he might have fought. Who is going to suck in such a heavy rain?
Unless he has a problem. Based on his observation. Earlier the man was wet because even the inside of his car was wet!
"Hey, what happened to you man?" he whispered as he placed his hand on Alexendris' forehead
The man hasn't eaten yet and he's still thinking about how to move him to the bedroom, even though it's still heavy. He still can't stand because it's like a lock holding his hand on his arm.
Like crazy. If only his body could be divided e.
He patted her smooth cheek. "Alexendris ... I'm going to cook. You need to eat." aniya
It's moaning. Slowly let go of his arm. He also stood up at last. He immediately cooked hot soup and then took the medicine from his stock before going to Alexendris again.
He gently stroked her hair. "Pst. Awake. Eat that so you can take medicine."
Alexendris didn't answer so he shook both his cheeks. He succeeded because the young man opened his eyes.
"Wake up."
She helps the young man to sit up, who is still shaking because of his bad feelings. He first ate the soup and then poured it on the young man. He just put a little rice because it might also vomit.
"What happened to you? You were okay before?" he asked worriedly
He handed the medicine here. Alexendris drank immediately. He leaned his head on the sofa and closed his eyes. He put down the glass.
"Come on. Take me to the bedroom. You might even fall here." aniya. "Don't worry. I won't rape you. I'll just ignore you."
Of course. Kama nya yon saka malaki naman yun. Just right for them. Besides pramis.
He held his arm and then placed it around his neck so that he could support him as Alexendris stood up to speak. He frowned.
"It's all my fault ..."
"Huh?"
It still clings. It was like daydreaming.
"If it's not my existence. She would've been alive now. Happy and breathing."
He stopped at its annoyed voice. This was the first time he had heard the pain in Alexendris's voice. To the person he thought was harder than rock.
In his voice he could feel the pain and anger but in a peaceful way because there were not even tears coming out of the young man's eyes. It's as if he's used to harboring feelings.
"What ... are you saying? Who is he?" he wondered
"I've watched her cried every goddamn night. Every goddamn time she watch my father with another woman. I've watched her tried to break free ... but she can't ... I watched her die. I watched my mother die. "
The air constricted in his lungs when he heard the last thing he said. He knew that Alexendris' mother was dead but he didn't know that he had seen it.
That's why the young man's voice hurts like that. Instead of building. He just pulled the young man leaning on his shoulder and then stroked his cheek.
"If it hurts ... tell me that. I promise. I won't tell you anything. All right." he gently urged
He knew how Alexendris felt because he was already there. The opportunity was already heavy but he could do nothing but bear because he had nothing to say that he trusted. Those that will not be spread to others.
"I knew. I knew she wants to break free from the hurt but she can't. If wasn't conceived, she's maybe happy now. I missed my mom ... Celestine ... My missed her so much."
He bit his lip to stop the tears from dripping from his eyes. The young man's voice was just enough to make him cry, so it was painful to hear that Alexendris was longing for his mother.
"H-huy .. don't say that. Do you think he'll be happy when he hears that from you?"
The young man did not speak. He could only hear her breathing.
He arranged to sit down and then messed up his hair. He could see that he was still weak so he would have taken her to the bedroom but he grabbed her arm.
It looked up. When their eyes met, he could feel the throbbing of his chest. He cupped her face. It whispered something he didn't understand.
Then he kissed her hard on the lips. She's almost forget how to breath. She just closed her eyes when she felt the lips of him kissing her hard.
The incident happened quickly because she realized that she was already sitting on the young man's lap. He was kissing her passionately. One hand was on her waist and the other was on her cheek. Like he wants to keep her in place.
He opened his eyes as it stopped. He kissed her chin and then hugged her tightly. She sighed.
"You just sleep here. It's dangerous in the bedroom." he shook his promise.
He woke up to his alarm clock the next morning. Alexendris was no longer beside him. He was really just joking last night. He didn't want to bother the young man on the sofa.
He has no school so let his life be better. After washing, tootbrush then of course comb. He left the room.
"Umuwi na sya?" she whispered
He could no longer find Alexendris. He peered to the front. His car was no longer there. Her shoulders dropped.
What about waking up in the morning? Can't that bird have a hangover? I still had a fever last night.
He sat on the stool then sipped coffee. Yung 3n1. That's delicious. He would just bring the young man food to work and medicine. It's probably still dizzy. He was not even absent for a day.
After having coffee, he took care of it. He cooked pork porridge. It would be delicious to fish but it might be difficult to remove the thorn.
He waved to the guard who was well known and then went straight to Alexendris' private elevator. He still sings inside because it will take him another minute and a half or more to climb to the top floor.
"Hera!" he greeted Alexendris's secretary
Hera quickly looked up at him. She noticed the child, her child on the side. He greeted and smiled.
"Is he there? I'll just deliver the food. I haven't eaten yet. I didn't even tell you." namomoblemang saad nya
"M-you're together?"
He nodded. Hera could no longer answer. It knocked three times on the door and then opened it. He caught Alexendris standing and facing its wall made of glass.
"Why didn't you even say you were leaving? Did you eat—"
"What are you doing here?"
She was stunned by the coolness of Alexendris's voice. His forehead furrowed and he waved. What is this? Attitude 2.0?
"What happened to you? You're too cold. You didn't have coffee." he laughed at the promise
The young man slowly faced him. Gradually, the smile disappeared from his lips when he saw her cold eyes.
"Our deal ended. I won't sue you anymore. Pwede kanan umalis. There's no reason for you to come here anymore."
His chest ached slightly at the hurtful words that came out of the young man's mouth. He could not understand. They were still fine last night.
"A-what?"
The young man seemed to break his heart the next time he said it.
"I don't want to see you anymore."
Her lips parted. She could feel the tears forming in her eyes. He is used to Alexendris' words always being sharp but a to is different.
He meant it this time. If so, is that all part of their deal?
Her eyes dropped to the food she had prepared. He approached the table and then laid it down.
"S-all right. I'm leaving. Maybe ... I-I disturbed you." he laughed raw. "Be full. There's 3n1 coffee there. M-that's delicious. B-bye."
He quickly turned away as his voice growled. She held back the tears until she reached the elevator. She was upset that she cried.
"Your behavior is really bad ... Why are you hurting?"
He was SITTING on the floor as his head rested on the sofa chair. That's how he behaves when watching. Van and Ericka were on either side not watching. Just gossiping with him.
"We warned you. He's not called rutless if he doesn't behave like that to other people." Ericka commented
Van nodded. So he looked at me with a punch to the leg.
"It's your fault. If you don't gossip. You won't know each other. You wouldn't get in trouble." its sermon
He looked at Van for a moment without saying anything good. "I don't think of him as a mess. At first, yes, but now no."
Ericka's scratch on her head made her close. Feels good. She doesn't need to get dandruff later when she takes a shower.
"Admit it. Do you like him? You've been a defensive back before. You don't seem to have been hurt."
She sighed. "I'll tell you later when that one is sober. I want to relax first before facing that lazy one again."
Ericka's cellphone rang. He knew they were leaving so he stood up. That's because it's automatic. Van, on the other hand. That won't last long. He's allergic to his face.
"Be careful. I'll just go again when I have time. Byee!" goodbye Ericka
"Byee!" he looked at Van. "You? You don't have a walk, do you? Why do you always come home?"
"I don't want you with me. You causes trouble, goddamn always."
He glared at Van. "You have a bad habit. Go away! Don't come back here! Don't cook for the bicol express!"
"Goodbye."
Van just turned his back on him so he picked up the slippers and threw stones at his head. He closed the door as soon as he caught it.
"Tangina Celestine! It hurts!" Van's shriek on the other side
He burst out laughing. It's good that Van didn't knock on her door and finally left with Ericka. If she wasn't a girl, Van might be at home and just going to the gym. He's too lazy to accompany me like he's not a friend tss.
He sat down on the sofa and looked down. Alexendris had a high fever last night. That will probably be suspended. He can't really get on the habit of that one. They didn't argue last night.
After all. Will he say it's all just a deal? Who cheated then? That won't follow him to his parents' house, he'll go to the beach for a week if it's all just a deal.
"Hello?"
"My son's raging all morning. What happened to both of you? ..."
"Your son is being cooked again. We were okay last night when I woke up. I went to his office and he fired me! Do you know that I even cooked the one he was beaten—" he sneezed
I will let your son have that attitude again. I'll talk to him later when I'm calm
Of course it's just a joke. He won't say!
"I do not know."
"He kicked you out? ... Don't let him do that. He's trying to move on."
His forehead furrowed at what Alexendris' father had said. Move on saan?
"Ho?"
"He's doing that because he's in love with you."
Her eyes widened by five pesos in shock. He didn't expect that. Will Alexendris fall?
"I-I'm not sure. If you love me, why would you hurt me?" he asked with resentment
After that Alexendris told him face to face. Impossible is what Sir says. Alexander.
"He's my son. I knew him better than you that's why listen to me. I gave you permission because I know what you feel for my son. It's your chance to break the barrier around him ..."
He never spoke again. He just listened to Alexendris' dad until the last thing he said.
"Make him feel wanted and unwanted. He'll come for you himself Celestine ..."
Huh?
Wanted and unwanted?
A few minutes passed before he could speak.
"What's up? I don't care."
THREE DAYS. They never met Alexendris. No calls or texts at all. He didn't even leave the house. He temporarily worked from home. And it's all because of that shiver.
So it must be successful!
He neatly placed the dish and rice in the tupperware then placed in the container. He also put coffee and an apple and then took it and left the house.
The quiet of his life during those three days. No more annoying asungot who always has menstruation to mess up her life.
And he misses that so Alexendris has to come back.
"Is your boss Hera there?" he asked when he arrived
The woman was shocked to see him. Its eyes are even bigger.
"W-what are you doing here?"
"I want to see your boss. I'm bored when I'm not with him. Is he inside?" he asked
Hera nodded so she continued inside. He was called but he himself opened the door. She smiled when she saw him typing on the laptop. Didn't even look up at him.
"Oh? You're still alive!"
Quickly at four o'clock the young man looked up. There was a warm caress in his heart when he saw her blue eyes again.
"What are you doing here?"
Hera was behind him so he motioned for her to leave and then closed the door. He walked over to Alexendris and then laid the food on his table.
"You were served food."
His eyes widened then stood up. "I told you not to come here anymore. Didn't I become clear to you?"
"No. Because you're rude. It's not clear then do I care how you feel? Instead of thanking you. You're still rude to me!"
"Don't let that go here!" angil nito
"I'm going to paden."
Alexendris gritted his teeth but did not speak.
"You don't know what you're doing woman." its emphatic and likely promise
He met its gaze. Serious look that the young man frowned.
"I know. I went to bring the food because I might not be able to come back. I'm going on vacation and Van is with me." straight face nyang saad
The young man's face grew more and more angry at what he said.
"Just the two of you?"
"Yes. It's just the two of us. Why? Do you want to come? Thirdwheels are not allowed." his casual answer
"Are you out of your mind? What if he do something kinky?" He hissed now
"Edi..goods. Are you okay? You really know us for each other."
'I'm sorry that's really Van but you're the only bait I thought of. It's Christmas for me '
"Byee!"
He turned his back on it but he could not get close to the door when it pulled him by the arm. Smile of success under the poker face is his mood.
"I am hungry."
He turned to Alexendris and raised an eyebrow. "Then?"
"I can't eat. I'm doing work. Feed me." command it like a boss
"Edi don't work first. I'm leaving waiting for me—"
He swallowed hard by holding her firmly in his arm. He bravely met her blue eyes again. His jaw clenched.
"You're not going with her. Do you understood, Celestine?"
