Higit Sa Salita - Part 8

Akala ko ay mahuhulog na ako I took a deep sigh out of realization I am on top of jax we took a second eye to eye , I looked shocked as well as he is napatayo ako agad dahil sa awkward position namin. "Uhm" I clear my throat "uhm Thanks" Umuna ako ng lakad sa kanya dahil sa hiya at pinag pag ang damit ko na may putik gamit ang mga kamay ko. - I knocked on the bamboo door Twice then a pregnant woman slightly opened it. "Magandang umaga po dito ba nakatira si Mang Andoy?" "Ah oo iha" she widely open the door and give me a smile " anong kaylangan nila?" She ask. "Uhm gusto ko lang po sya makausap" "Senyorita?" Mang Andoy look shucked when he saw me. "Magandang hapon po" bati ko sa kanya. "Hali po kayo pasok" pangaaya ni mang andoy. "Maraming salamat po di ko po yon matatatangihan dahil kaylangangang kaylangan ko ang pera ngayon dahil ka buwanan na ngayon ni misis" sabi ni mang andoy sinabi ko sa kanya na ibabalik ko sya sa trabaho at humingi narin ako ng pasensya dahil sakin natanggal siya. I just nodded then give her a smile. "Taaaaaay si nanay manganganak na!" Sigaw nang kanyang anak taranta namang pumunta si mang andoy sa kanyang asawa at agad itong binuhat. "Use my car" Jax said. Sumunod naman ako sa kanya at syempre natagalan ako don sa tulay buti naman at nakatawid akong buhay pa. Dali daling binuksan ni jax ang sasakyan nya sumakay rin ako sa shotgun seat. - Makalipas ang isang oras ay nanganak rin ang asawa ni mang andoy sinamahin din namin sya sa waiting area kita ko ang labis na pag alala ni mang andoy buti nalang ay maayos ang pangaanak ng kanyang asawa. "Mang Andoy lalakad na po kami" paalam ko kay mang andoy. "Señorita Alcie , Sir Jax maraming salamat hu talaga" "Walang anuman hu yon" I said smiling. "Kong wala po kayong di ko po alam ang gagawin maraming salamat ulit at pasensya na sa abala" "Naku wag nyo pong isipin yon mabutit ligtas ang mag ina nyo" sambit ni Jax. Ang saya sa pakiramdam na nakatulong ka sa iba I smiled while thinking that thought Tiningnan ko ang oras on my wristwatch its 5pm. Then my phone ring I grabbed it and answer the phone. "Alcie asan kana ba? Umuwi kana hinahanap kana ni Doñya-" I cut what Nana Vic said "okay nana I get it" I ended the call. "Jax pwede mo ba akong ihatid samin" tanong ko kay jax habang kami ay naglalakad palabas ng hospital. "No" he said. "Pls Jax baka pagalitan na naman kasi ako pag umuwi ako ng gabi" rason ko sa kanya. Napatigil naman sya at bumaling sakin. "Did you leave the hacienda without telling them" he glared at me. "Well I did" I said to him It seems his not believing what I said because he's still stirring at me "Okay okay I lied a little" I said. He took a sigh then walking again fast. "Jax Sandali!" I said I walk fast to catch up with him. But suddenly I bumped in to a person he dropped his pen and his other stuff my phone dropped as well , I grabbed his pen near to me "Sorry I was on a hurry" he said without looking at me "No its okay Di rin naman ako tumitingan ng mabuti sa daan" I said smiling I stand and hand over his pen. Binigay nya rin ang phone ko. "Salamat" he said I nodded "wait Alcie?" He said unsure. "You know me?" I ask him with a confusing look. "Its me Alfred, Remember your brothers collage mate well we used to be on the basketball team together until I migrated to canada" He said. "Well the thing is--" "Alcie" binaling ko ang tumawag sakin it was Jax. "Jax?" Alfred said. Jax came to us. "Alfred" he said. "Jax So long bro" he said and give a hug. "So you two are together na ha I knew it pakipot ka pa non Ja-" "I am sorry Alfred but we have to go" Jax said seriously and grabbed my wrist and walk "Uh wait what did he say? We're together?" I said What was that? but Jax continue to walk "teka jax ano ba" he still holding my wrist. "Let's go" he said without looking at me hanggang sa makarating kami sa parking lot. "Pwede ba bitiwan mo na ako" I said while looking at my wrist agad nya rin naman iton binitiwan. "Get in" he said then he got on his car. The way he act seems odd kanina ayaw nya akong ihatid ngayon naman pwede na. Our on way to the hacienda is quit silent but on my heads theirs a lot of questions. "Were here" he said then pullover. "What were not on the house yet" "Go grab some car inside" "Bakit di ka ba pwedeng pumasok" "Dont ask Go" "Jax" I look at him "earlier what did he mean that were together?" I said slowly "Uulitin ko uli did you know me before?" He just looking straightly Jax sino ka ba talaga?

"Look Rafael I am fine okay don't worry" "No Alcie get back her now" he straightly said when he know that I collapsed. "Kuya pls I want to stay here for a while ikaw naman ang nagpapunta dito sakin diba" pangtutul ko. "Yes but I don't want you to get hurt alcie" "Bakit naman ako masasaktan I think there's no harm in here its just a headache kuya" "Alcie If I know na magkakaganyan ka I shouldn't send you in there di ko naman alam na after 2 years--" "Kuya calm down its just an headache wag masyado oa okay" I said to calm him kanina pa kasi sya praning. I hear him sigh " okay ju -just take care dont pressure yourself on anything alright update me on everything " paalala nya. I smiled "yes kuya you too" then I hung up. What happened last night cleared up my mind Kaylangan ko ding hindi ma pressure ang sarili kong makaalala its been to years since then. Why don't I have any clue? or I dont remember anything meron ako mga napapaganipan pero kong tutuo ito o hindi. Ilang oras na akong naghahanap ng mga patalandaan ng mga alaala ko noon pero wala talaga it seems that when I got here they cleared it up. - "Lola" Bati ko kay lola sabay biso ng makita ko sya na nag didilig ng kanyang mga orchids nya sa garden. "Kamusta na yong pakiramdam mo apo?" She asked. "I am feeling better lola" I smiled at her "Lola meron po bang mall dito?" I asked. "Yes apo there's a small mall here in Costa Luna you want to go shopping?" "Uhm may bibilhin lang po sana ako if okay lang can someone drive me there" I asked. "Sure apo you can" "Great thanks lola" I greatly said then hugged her. - "Manong sa Coconut plantation tayo" I said to the driver when I got to the car. "Hu diba sabi nyo sa mall lang kayo" He said. Okay I lied dahil sa tingin ko ay hindi ako papayagin ni lola na pumunta ulit kay jax may kaylangan lang akong gawin. "Manong do as I say" "Pero Siñorita Alcie baka mapagalitan ako ni nito" "Hindi ka mapapagalitan di naman na malalaman ni lola to eh trust me" I put my sunglasses on and headset on and lay back and crossed my arms. Mabuti naman at Di na sya umangal at nagmaneho wala akong gana makipag dibatehan sa kanya. Pinikit ko ang mata ko at malayang umidlip. All eyes on me as I walk down to a grand staircase. People were on their long gowns Linibot ng mata ko ang paligid I smiled all at them as I walk. "You look stunning" the man whispered he offer his hand. Ibinigay ko ang kamay sa kanya ng walang pag alinlangan... he held onto my waist kahit na nakangiti sya my eyes filled with tears.

"Okay na po ba ang apo ko?" "Yes, Donya Isabella she needs a little more rest" "What happened to her? Ngayon lang sya ulit nagkaganito doc?" "Going back here might recall her past I'll go ahead donya" "I shouldn't approve to this I knew this would happen" I hear it when My eyes slowly lit up. I saw lola infront of me. "Lola" sabi ko she glanced and fastly sit beside on my bed. "Alcie kamusta ang pakiramdam mo?" She worriedly said. "Dont worry I am alright" I said for assurance. "Then you should rest apo don't force yourself to remember anything alright" she said then kiss me on the head. I just nodded and smiled at her as she walks out my room. I slowly get up on my bed and sit beside the bed My eyes travelled around my bed and started to think a lot ang mga paa ko ay tumunggo sa kwarto ng mga magulang ko I grab the picture frame and sit beside their bed. "I hope you're here Mom" I closed my eyes then suddenly tears ran down into my cheeks. "I've miss you a lot" 2 years ago... "Anak dahan dahan lang" I ignored what she said, I drive fast as I could. "Alcie pls calm down" she said pleading. Hinigpitan ko pa ang hawak sa manibela I felt mad, angry tears filled my eyes. Sa nadaanan naming tulay ay may isang sasakyan na in-overtekan ang isang truck. My eyes widened I panicked niliko ko ang sasakyan namin sa pagkakaakalang makakaiwas sa dumadagusong sasakyan. I felt my mother's hand on my wrist "Alcie" she worriedly said. There's nothing I can do we end up crashing to the railings of the bridge dahil wala akong seatbelt nabagok ang ulo ko sa manibela and we went down to the river. I feel like drowning. - "Mom!" I said as I wake up to a bad dream Nakatulog pala ako dito sa kwarto ng di ko namalayan I cried while I was having a bad dream sana ay ganon nalang panaginip pero yon ang naalalakong nangyari. "Alcie?" I heard nana Vic voice and went inside were I was She looked shocked when he see my face devastated and crying. "Alcie, anong nangyari? Hah" she ask worried and put her hand on my hair. "N-nana, S-si mom" I can't barely speak. "Shh nanaginip ka Alcie" "Nana bakit wala parin akong maalala tanging yon lang bakit? Bakit bakit?" I said devastated and repeatedly punch my head out of frustration. This tragic memory keep me from waking and thinking every night they say that it was just an accident and it's not my fault but for me I felt responsible for that accident no matter how much I try to remember my head started to hurt the more I want to remember the harder for me. "Alcie tama na wag mong pilitin ang sarili mo" she said hinawakan nya ang kamay ko at niyakap. "Kasalanan ko nana kasalanan ko na nawala si Mom" I hugged her back. "Shh tahan na Alcie wag mong sisihin ang sarili mo hindi mo kasalanan yon" "Ako ang may kasalanan, if it wasn't for me di sana kami na aksidente ni hindi ko nga maalala kong bakit ako nagkaganun k-kong bakit galit na galit ako nana did you know anything pls help me" I pleaded as my tears went down. "Pasensya kana Alcie di ko rin alam ang nangyari" I woke up one day not knowing who I am ,I just know that we had an accident but I dont know how and why did it happen. As I wake up on that day cant recognize everyone even my dad and brother I just feel pain. I dont know who I am everything is clueless. I feel empty... We spend a week in the hospital all day just glancing at the ceiling and dont know what to do they decided that Dad and I must go to the New York. Hindi rin ako umangal dahil di ko rin naman kong sino ako until now. That's why I dont have a chance to remember pano ako mamuhay noon , did I have any friends?, bestfriend?, did I ever been inlove? I want to know my old self. but now I am back It made me realize that for me to heal and to move on is to know my past...

I opened my eyes when I felt the car stop nakatingin ako sa bintana. "andito na--"I glance at jax I didn't notice na malapit pala sya sakin that made my eyes widened we stared each other for a second and glazed quickly. "Uhm I was just" he said without looking at me he cleared his throat "I was gonna wake you up because we're here" then he open the door quickly. "Uh alright" I said awkwardly. Agad syang pumunta sa main door ng bahay at sumunod narin ako. "Nako Jax asan ba kayo nanggaling hinahanap alam naman ang habilin sayo ni Donya Isabella" rinig kong sabi ni Nana Vic bakas sa kanyang muka ang pagalala. "Alam ko po yon nana I know what I said" jax said to Nana Vic. "Oh nana may problema ba?" Singit ko. "Habilin ko sayo anak diba wag kang lalabas ng bahay lagot kaya ayon halos lahat pinagalitan nya si Mang Andoy sinisante nya" sabi ni nana sakin. "Yong Guard?" Gulat kong sabi.

"At mam " The other maid said I look at her and listened "kawawa naman po may pamilya yon rinig ko ang misis nya manganganak ngayong buwan" he added. "Rosa" suway ni nana vic sa kanya. "Ay sorry po" sambit nya at tinakpan ang bibig nya gamit ang isang kamay "sorry excuse me po" paalam nya what she said started me to have a guilt feeling. "I am sorry po nana I didn't know we'll come to this" wala kong ganang sabi. "Di mo naman ginusto yon anak" mahinahon nyang sabi. "I'll go ahead I am sorry" jax said. That made my forehead creased "what for?" I ask out of curiosity ako naman ang mag kasalanan dito ha. "Uhm anak hinahanap kana ng lola mo pumasok kana at kakain na" singit ni nana vic. jax and turned to his car. "Uhm Jax" tawag ko sakanya napalingon sya "you haven't eaten yet join us" pangaalok ko matapos nya akong samahan at tulungan kaya nagmamabuti ako sa kanya. "No need" he refused. "But its twelve noon already " I said. "He refused Alcie let him" lola said tightly I glance at her the way he speak made my eyes round. "Donya Isabella" Bati ni Jax kay lola. "Jax" she glared "Alcie get inside" she said then went inside. Nagpatuloy lang sa paglalakad si Jax patungo sa kanyang sasakyan I watch him gets to the car and go. "Alcie tara na" pangaaya sakin ni nana. "Okay I'll catch up" I said while still looking at jax wrangler go. - "I saw a wound on your feet what happened to that?" Lola Isabella asked. "Wala po to lola I stepped on a rock nadulas po ako" "Magiingat ka Alcie you should just stay here" "Pasensya na po" "Why did you leave the house?" Lola said then eat. We're eating dinner right now kanina pa ganito si lola ng tanghalian she didn't ask me anything When I got here but now she started to ask. "Uhm I just got bored lola" I said. "Where did you go?" She asked. "Pumunta lang po ako sa plantation ni jax lola" "May naalala ka ba?" Tanong nya. "Uhm wala naman po bakit?" I said with a curious look may dapat ba akong maalala?. "Nothing just don't go back there " "Why not okay naman po don ha" pangangatwiran ko. "And wag kang sasamasama sa jax nayon naiintindihan mo ba alcie" "Bakit Lola" I asked and cleared my throat "d-did I know him before?" I added. "Hindi , hindi mo sya kilala this is the first time you meet him" she said. "Sigurado ka po ba lola? Then why you said You don't want here around with me?" I asked. "Because I heard he is a troublemaker just do what I said" she said the way he act seems na may tinatago sya sakin di ko lang alam kong ano yon? "If that what you say lola I believe in you" I just said but all this time umaasa lang ako sa kanilang mga salita dahil wala akong alam, inside me want to ask more questions I don't want to ask because the more I think it feels my head is squeezing inside the more I tried to think made my head hurt. "Alcie are you alright? You look pale" Lola said with a worried face. My vision started to blurred "Victoria Tumawag ka ng Doctor Alcie!" I heard lola said slowly my head feels not right my eyes slowly dropped and everything went black.
