No Other Kind of Love

Prologue

What is love?

"Love is when you feel happy if he gives you chocolate!"

"Love is mommy's name!"

"Love is February!"

"Love is patient!"

"Love is the name of my dog"

"Love is what my daddy call mommy if she is mad"

"Love is giving something na walang hinihintay na kapalit"

"Love is when daddy kisses mommy good morning"

"Love is family and friends"

"Love is God"

Nangingiti lang si Calista sa mga naririnig na sagot ng mga bata-. Yes you may agree that it's inappropriate to ask 5 and 6 years old this kind of question but she was just curious of what's in these young minds.

"How about you Althea? What is love for you?" Tanong ni Calista kay Althea na mukhang malalim ang pag-iisip para sa sagot sa tanong niya.

"Love causes all pain and no gain? Tama ba yun Teacher Sue?" Kunot noo naman sagot ni Althea na parang hindi sigurado sa sagot niya

Nagulat naman si Calista sa narinig na sagot. Well that was unexpected for a 5 year old.

"No baby, yes love can cause pain but it will surely bring more gain. Love can make you very happy!" Parang gusto ba icorrect ni Calista ang nagturo kay Althea ng concept na yun

"Sabi ko na nga ba eh! Niloloko lang niya ako because he got angry with me because I was bothering his work." Kausap naman ni Althea sa sarili

"Sino ba ang nagturo sayo nun?" Curious naman na tanong ni Calista sa kanya

"Si Kuya Alex! Hmp bad siya he gave me a wrong answer" Tampo ni Althea sabay padyak ng paa.

"Althea temper remember?" Paalala ni Calista sa kanya

"Sorry Teacher Sue" Agad naman na hingi ng sorry ni Althea.

"Okay kids, recess time. Form a single line go wash your hands and get your food from Teacher Tanya"Announce ni Calista sa buong klase niya.

"Infairness kay Althea ah, may hugot ang sagot." Biro ni Tanya sa kaibigan habang inaayos ang mga sandwich na ipamimigay sa mga bata

"Sira, hugot ka dyan. It's not healthy for a 5 year old to have that concept of love." Naiiling naman na sabi ni Calista

"Well what can we do, di niya naman kasalanan na siya ang baby sister ni Mr. Alexander Xayden Alcantara" Tila nanghihinayang na sabi ni Tanya

"Ooohh you mentioned the whole name of my Kuya Alex! Do you know her too Teacher Tanya?? Teacher Sue??" Nagulat sila bigla sa boses na nagsalita mula sa likod. Si Althea. Gusto niya sana isagot na "How can we not know your brother, he's just not the only cover of almost all business magazines these past few months but as well as the headline of tabloids" "Alex strikes again: Who's the lucky girl this time?" "Alexander Alcantara: Gay or Casanova?" "Single but not willing to mingle?"

"Of course we know your Kuya, we saw him on TV yesterday. Tara pila na tayo dun you're friends are waiting" Distract ni Tanya sa bata.

Mr. Alexander Xayden Cruz Alcantara, known in the business world as CEO and President of AXE & Partners Corporation, the leading all in one contractor in the field of engineering, architecture and interior design in the country.
