6 MONTHS LATER
The case about Gabrielle got closed, yes it's finally done and he hase sentenced to prison for his lifetime, including some of the gang members and his father as it turns out that the gang and drug dealing things was actually a kind of family business, a family organization that runs from generation to generation.
"Should we celebrate?". Tanong sa akin ni Lexi habang nag lalakad kami patungo sa sasakyan niya dahil kakalabas nga lang namin galing sa pag dinig ng kaso, inabot din ng ilang buwan dahil sa labis na pag tangi at pag giit nina Gabrielle na walang katotohanan yung mga binibintang sa kanila.
"Sure that sounds good". I said, pumunta kami sa bakeshop malapit dun sa tirahan namin and since we both like foods naman naisip namin na mag cake and bumili na din ng pizza sa kalapit na store nito.
Ng maka uwi kami ng bahay ay nag palit muna ako habang si Lexi ay nag prepare ng pagkain at ng table namin.
Pagkatapos ko mag palit ay pumunta na din agad ako sa kinaroroonan ni Lexi. Pinaupo ako nito saka ay nilagyan din ng wine yung baso malapit sakin, she then cut a slice of pizza and put it on my plate.
"Thank you Lexi". I said while Lexi eat.
"For what?". She asked.
"For helping me through this hardship, thank you so much". I said.
"You are always welcome, but why are you being sentimental it's not like you are going to le-". Natigilan si Lexi ng maalala nito.
"Oh right you were leaving next week". Malungkot na sambit nito.
Yes, I was leaving for France after I got accepted into my dream job there. It was hard for us to be apart since every day we were together, I mean Lexi also has a job but since sanay sya na lagi akong nakikita pag uwi niya naiintindihan ko na mahirap yun.
"We have 1week pa before my flight, we can do everything that we wanted before I go". I saw sadness in her face and the atmosphere just became so heavy, the ambiance became heavy.
"Can you not just go?". She asked.
"Lex,it's my dream". I said. Naramdaman ko ang uti-unting pag layo ng mga kamay nito na hawak ko.
She's upset, I can feel it.
I just sigh and continue on eating my food, we were supposed to celebrate but this happened, wala kaming kibo sa isat-isa.
Matapos kong kumain ay umakyat na ako sa kwarto at duon ay nahiga, samantalang si Lexi naman ay nasa kusina pa din.
Maka ilang minuto pa ay naramdaman ko na may yumakap sakin, hinarap ko ito at nakita ko si Lexi.
"I'm sorry honey". Wika nito sabay halik sa aking noo. "I'm not mad, I'm more of a worried". She said.
"I can take care of myself Lex". I said.
"I know that you can, but still I wanted to protect you and be there for you". I look at her in the eyes before I speak.
"I promise I'll take care of myself". I landed a kiss on her lips and hug her around her waist tightly.
The moment I knew it was already morning. Hindi pa man ako nakakapag mulat ng mata ay nakapa ko na agad na wala duon si Lexi kaya naman agad ay bumangon ako.
Una akong pumunta sa kusina sa pag babaka sakali na nandoon siya.
At nakita ko nga ang nag luluto na si Lexi.
"You're awake? Good morning". Sambit ni Lexi ng mag paling ng tingin sa akin.
"What are you doing? Aren't you going to work?". I asked her as I drink a cup of water.
"I took a leave". Sagot naman nito.
"Why?". I asked again and sat on the chair.
"Because I want to spend my week with you, we only have a week together and I want it to be special". She said and prepared all of the food, I was a bit puzzled when I saw a basket full of foods.
"Go take a shower we have a date". I was shocked cause she didn't inform me about this yesterday, but I was shock in a good way and at the same time excited.
So I go to the shower room to take a bath and prepare myself. I pick the green floral dress from my closet and started on fixing myself.
Few hours later after all the preparation we arrived at the park, now sitting on the green grass just admiring the beauty of nature, the sky, and the view of the sea.
"I love this, thank you". Hindi maitatangi na labis ang kasiyahan na nararamdaman ko, kahit papano ay nagagawa kong makasama si Lexi sa huling mga araw na nandito ako.
Hindi ko na alam ang mga mangyayari sa susunod pang mga panahon dahil hindi na sakop ng nakaraan ko ang nangyayari ngayon. Pero isa lang ang alam ko, gusto ko lang gawing masaya ang araw na ito.
