100 days with the Princess

Chapter Thirty-eight

Alex's POV

I am sitting inside my car while watching the love of my life walk away from me. As she walk away, she took my heart with her, my tears keep flowing and I don't know how to stop. My heart feels like being crushed into pieces, akala ko OA lang sila pag sinabi nila na pag nasaktan ka madudurog ang puso mo. And yes its damn true! This is much more painful than my last heartbreak with andrea.

I drive away from the hospital, from the death of my heart. I am breathing but I feel dead inside. I don't know where to go, I don't wanna go home. Home is nothing without Joyce, every part of my house I am sure that I will be seeing her and my heart will break over and over again. Its already midnight my eyes can barely see the road. I pulled over.

Ring...

Ring...

Ring...

Calling Leila...

Lei please pick up the phone, please.

"Hello, Alex? Napatawag ka?" based on her voice I wake her up

"So--sor--sorry did I--" sabi ko habang pilit na tinatago yung pagiyak ko

"The heck! Why are you crying? Asan si Joyce?! Where are you?!" sunod sunod na tanong nya sa akin

"Answer me Alexandra Sandoval or I swear to God--" di nya natapos sinasabi nya

"And--di--ito ako sa or--ti--tgas" sabi ko habang humihikbi at di ko na napigilan na umiyak ulit

"Shit! I'll come and get you, and don't you dare to do anything stupid kundi malilintikan ka sakin! Send me a pic of your location, now!" sinunod ko ang utos nya, pinicturan ko ang paligid ko

"Alright I know where you are, just stay there!" and I ended the call, sumubsob ako sa manibela ng sasakyan ko, feeling ko magang maga na ang mga mata ko.

Bzzz...

Bzzz...

Bzzz...

Mahal calling...

"He--ell--o?" pagpipigil ko na marinig nya ang iyak ko

"Mahal asan ka? Bakit di ka nagtext? Nakauwi ka na ba?" I miss your voice mahal. I cleared my throat before answering all her questions

"Hindi pa, nagda-drive ako kaya di ako agad nakapagtext, andito ako sa Ortigas magkikita kami ni Lei" isa isa kong sinagot ang mga tanong nya

"Gabi na masyado mahal, di ba pwede ba ipagpabukas yan?"

"Hindi eh, uuwi din ako agad wag ka magalala. Kamusta mama mo?"

"She's OK now, sabi ni Mark bumagsak ang immune system nya kaya dito muna sya. Mahal I'll be going home soon, OK? Be strong, ayaw ko na umiiyak ka. Sige na gising na si mama, mamaya ulit. Magtext ka pagnakauwi ka na ha, I love you" she ended the call. Sumandal ako at pumikit.

Few more minutes passed and someone is knocking at my window. I opened my eyes to see who it is and I smiled and rolled down the windos

"Ano ka ba naman Alex?! Anong nangyari sayo?! Ipaliwanag mo sakin, uuwi na tayo! Ako magdadrive!" pinaupo nya ako sa passenger seat and inayos yung seat belt ko, I am so tired, too tired that even saying thank you to her ay di ko magawa.

"Dun tayo sa bahay mo please? Ayaw ko umuwi sa bahay ko" I said with a cracked voice

"Bakit? Alam ba ni Joyce na di ka uuwi ha? Nagaway ba kayo? Akala ko ba sa isang araw pa uwi nyo?" she said, but I kept quiet
