“Nikka, are you leaving now?” tanong ni Mommy.
Tumango ako. “Ali is surely waiting for me.”
“Okay, tell your husband to come here so you can open the wedding gifts together.”
“Hindi pa pala namin nabubuksan ang mga regalo sa kasal.”
“Yes, the storage room is almost full. Until now, gifts are still arriving for you.”
Tumango ako. “Bye, Mommy!” Humalik ako sa pisngi niya.
I got into the car and finally left. While on the trip, I called Alejandro, but he didn't answer.
“Baka tulog pa rin siya hanggang ngayon.”
Pagkalipas ng ilang oras, dumating na ako sa condo namin.
“Tulog pa rin si Alejandro?”
Inaasahan ko, may sasalubong sa akin, pero walang Alejandro na sumalubong sa akin.
“Ali!” tawag ko.
I opened the door, but he wasn't in our room.
“Nasaan kaya siya?” muli kong tinawagan
