Kabanata 51

Four years later and I graduated. I passed my board examination. I got my license. I've got a job. And I am now an official doctor!

I've finally reached my dreams.

Isa na akong ganap na doctor. Hindi madali ang mga pinagdaanan ko. I've been stressing myself silently and secretly, there are times that I will breakdown because of too much exhaustion, but everytime I'm seeing my mother doing her unending jobs, seeing my brother, Stan, giving his best to finished his studies, everytime I see them, all I can see is a lot of reason for me not to give up. I see a lot of reason to do better. To give them the life they deserve.

And I'm glad that I also have the man I dearly love. He became my sanctuary when the world is too chaos to live in. He became my shield when both of my knees were bended on the ground. He's the source of my strength and happiness.

He really did wait for me.

Hanggang ngayon ay wala siyang ginawa kundi ang maghintay sa akin, he never forced me to marry him after we graduated, he did not put me in a situation where in the only key to get out is to marry him. He patiently waited for me.

Habang palabas ako ng hospital ay bahagya kong minamasahe ang batok na sa tingin ko ay nangalay dahil sa operasyon na ginawa ko kanina. I was in the operating room for six hours. Inaantok na rin ako dahil madaling araw na.

I keep on massaging my nape, I also stretched my arms and my back. I moan when the bones on my back dinged.

"Exhausted baby?"

Napatigil ako sa pag-i-stretch nang marinig ang boses niya. I smiled back at him. Nakahilig ito sa kotse niya habang ang mga kamay ay nasa loob ng slacks na suot. Suot pa rin nito ang office attire niya kaya walang duda na hindi pa ito umuuwi at magdamag na naghintay sa akin.

Napasimangot ako, "yes, but you should rest. Dapat ay hindi mo na ako hinihintay, alam mo naman na madaling araw na ako nauwi minsan."

"Wala naman akong pasok bukas at isa pa nakatulog ako ng ilang oras sa kotse kanina." anito.

"Have you eaten?"

Tumango ito. "May sandwich akong baon."

Napasimangot ako. That's still not enough though. Tuluyan akong lumapit sa kaniya at dahan-dahan na iniyakap ang braso ko sa baywang niya. I rested my left cheek on his hard chest. I closed my eyes. Naramdaman ko ang pagyakap nito sa akin. He kissed my temple a lot of times as he gently stroked his hand from my head 'til to my back.

"Did my baby tired herself again?" bulong nito.

I shook my head. "I wanted to go home..."

"Mmm. I'll drive you home then."

"But I can't feel my legs." nakasimangot kong wika. Narinig ko ang mahinang pagtawa nito. Mas lalo akong napasimangot. Bully.

"I'll carry my baby of course."

He carried me, a bridal carry, ako ang nagbukas ng pinto ng front seat, dahan-dahan niya akong pinaupo roon bago ako hinalikan sa noo tsaka umikot para makasakay na rin.

It's two in the morning. Ramdam ko na ang pagbagsak ng talukap ng mga mata ko pero nilabanan ko dahil balak kong magluto ng light meal para kay Kroiwen.

"Babe?"

"Hmm?" lumingon ito sa akin ng ilang segundo bago binalik ang tingin sa daan.

"Sa bahay ka na matulog." bulong ko.
