DNA Test

Next morning at alvardo street, Binondo.

Elvira walked into Alex's room to see if he was still sleeping, but he was not. Alex has woken up already and has taken his bath. He turned back and saw Elvira. She smiled, "Breakfast is ready now. Will you come out now and eat before you go"

"OK ma'am, I will be with you soon"

"Don't call me ma'am, just call me tita"

"OK tita"

Elvira eyes lit up when she saw Alex brush. Her plan with Isabelle the other day was to make Alex stay over night in their house. Then Elvira will get his hair sample for a DNA test to known if he is Leonel or not.

"Have you brush your hair?"

"Yes" he was confused. She is acting like his mother.

"Okay, now go to the dinning room and I will help you with your things, alright?"

"No aunt, you..."

Before he could finish his sentence, she has already taken five steps forward and began to pack Alex things.

"Go and eat now" she said and pushed him out of the room. "Don't come back here unless you have finished eating"

Alex had no other choice, but to listen to her. He left the room and walked to the dinning room.

"Ah, good morning kuya Alex, how was your night sleeping here" Carissa was the first person that saw him.

"Fine" he said and he drew the chair and sat.

"Wait! where is nanay?"

"She is in my room"

"In your room? What is she doing there?" she was confused.

"Helping me with my things" he said as with the food in his mouth.

"What? Helping you with your things? Seriously! Nay is something else" said Carissa

Elvira picked up Alex's brush, picked few strand of his hair, put it in a paper envelope and put it in her pocket.

After breakfast, Alex left the house, Dyosa and Carissa left for school.

Isabelle, "How did it go? Were you able to get it?"

Elvira, "Yes" she said, pulled out the paper envelope from her pocket and showed it to Isabella.

Isabelle, "We need to get the DNA test done to know if he is your son or not. What if he is not your son?"

Elvira was silent for few seconds and the latter finally said, "I am ready for anything"

Isabelle, "Really? Anything?"

Elvira, "Yes, why?"

Isabelle, "Nothing. I think you should go to the hospital now. I will go to the resturant"

Elvira, "Okay"

The two said goodbye and patted ways.

At Britespark International school.

In the class, Dyosa was seen unpacking all the books in her bag. Her books were scattered on the floor.

"Where did I put it?" she asked herself. "I can't remember where. Oh no, why am I so careless?" She continued to talk to herself and did not notice Ethan until he let out a smile laugh.

"Why are you so rough?" he said and he bent down and began to pick up her scattered books for her.

"Thank you" she said, collected the books from him, put them in her bag, zipped the bag and dropped it beside her seat.

"What are you looking for?"

"I am looking for my scrapbook. I really don't know where I left it"

"Your scrapbook?"

"Yes"

"I think I saw it with Carissa"

"What?! Why is she with my scrapbook?! Where did you see her?" she was angry.

"At the library, but before you go tell me what happened to Carissa's face? She won't tell me anything"

"We were beaten by some guys yesterday" she stated.

"What?! The both of you?!" his eyes widened in shock.

"Yes, but Carissa suffered the most in the hands of those monster" She thought of what happened yesterday to them. She immediately shook her head as if those memories were going to leave her head.

Ethan leaned forward, looking into Dyosa eyes and said, "How did you guys fight those guys?"

"We did not"

"Huh?"

"Someone helped us. Carissa was so weak that she could not fight again and I, I was not able to help Carissa too because someone held my arms" she said and rolled her sleeve up to show Ethan the bruises she got.

Ethan's eyes widened a bit in surprise. "So they did this to you guys?" Dyosa nodded her head. "I promise if I see them I will chop them into tiny pieces. How dare them touch Carissa" he said with anger in his voice.

Dyosa leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "You like Carissa so much? Huh?"

"Yes"

She smiled, "I see. No wonder you care about her so much"

Ethan has never told it to Dyosa that he likes Carissa, but she knew herself.

"Can you help me?"

"Help you with what?"

"Carissa"

"...okay, I will try"

"Thanks" he smiled.

At the Madocs hospital, manila.

Elvira has been waiting for hours at the hospital for the DNA test. Her hair sample was taken and so as Alex's hair sample. It was taken to the laboratory for the test. Elvira phone rang. She pulled her phone from her pocket and pressed the button.

"Hello"

"How is it? Tell me the results" Isabelle asked anxiously.

"The result is not out yet. I am still waiting for it" she said and she looked at the laboratory door.

"Oh" she said with disappointment on her voice.

"How are you and how are things there?" she changed the topic.

"Things are doing well here and I am fine"

"Yeah, that's good to hear"

"When will the result be out? I can't wait to see it" she said as if the test concern her.

"I don't know, but I will have to wait till they come out"

"Okay. Ha, I think I have to serve someone now, bye and don't forget to update me, okay?"

"Alright" she said and pressed the red button.

She looked at the laboratory door again and her heart beat raced faster. "What if Alex is my son?" she thought. She shook her head. "No, he can't possibly be my son. Leonel died in the fire and Alex, his parents were also killed. He is not my son"

As she thought of all those things, tears burned her eyes. She don't know why she was scared. She touched her chest, telling herself to calm down, but she don't understand why she is not calm.
