#2 Chapter 27
“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

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.
