Unforgettable You

8

"Why do i have to meet you, why do I have to feel something deep for you, when in the end, their will never be me and you"

I walk like a zombie right now, alam niyo yong tipong pagod na pagod ka sa ginawa mo maghapon. I had two surgeries today, the other one went well sa Provincial hospital and the last one is dito sa St. Michaels, and it almost made me sh!t in pants, sorry about the word but that's true, a lot of complication happened buti na lang at kahit papano ay naisalba pa rin namin ang buhay ni Mr Romero kung iisipin almost 5 hours rin ang operation na yon and heto ako ngayon naglalakad, still wearing my scrub suit, nakakapagud rin pala maging freelance surgeon, dumaan ako sa comfort room to fix my hair and put it in a high ponytail para naman hindi naman ako mukhang bruha tingnan.

I went inside the doctors lounge to get something. I promised Kia na bibigyan ko siya ng isang series ng manga na tapos ko nabasahin. She told me na she likes reading manga kaya ihahatid ko muna to sa kaya before I went home.

 
And Almost 6 pm na pala, so, I need to hurry, I'm tired and hungry at kailangan ko pang mag drive pauwi dahil I need to check pa ang gamit ng mga bata na dadalhin nila papuntang Tagaytay for a two days trip with Tita Jillian, alam ko naman na andyan si Doris to fix their things pero gusto ko pa rin na i-check yon before they leave.

I knock on the door sa kwarto ni Kia, of course, I know Grace is here hindi ko nga lang sure if sino pa ang nasa loob, so I waited for the door to finally open

"Hey, ikaw pala." Saad ni Grace ng tuluyan na nitong mabuksan ang pinto

"Yeah, sorry to come this late" Tugon ko rito habang alangang kinakamot ang batok ko

"It's alright, Is their something wrong?" Puno ng pag alalang tanong nito.

"Nothing, ahm...wala, wala, I have something for Kia, I just need to give it to her, don't worry everything is fine" Paniniguro ko rito, mukha nag alala yata siya sa bigla kung pagsulpot dito.

"Oh, ahm okay," She said and smile at me "Come in" she said looking at my appearance. Nagtataka siguro ito kung bakit naka scrub suit pa rin ako

"Thanks, ahm...gising pa ba si Kia?" Tanong ko rito habang naglalakad papasok

I know mukha akong zombie dahil sa pagod and yes Grace I know that look, you're worried about me but you'll never say it. "Yeah, usually mga 8 or 9 pm ko siya pinapatulog" Saad nito sakin "Kia, look who's here" masayang baling nito sa anak

"Doc Gab" Excited na tawag agad sa akin ni Kia ng makapasok na ako

"Hey" Sabay lapit sa kanya at ginulo gulo  ko ang buhok nito habang nakangiti, umupo sa gilid ng kama nito "here" sabay bukas ko sa paper bag at inabot sa kanya ang manga. "This is one of my favorite, I hope you like it too" I said

"Thank you po" napakalaki ng pagkakangiti nito ngayon humalik pa sa pisngi ko at yumakap. Napangiti rin ako sa gesture na ginawa niya.

"You're welcome babe" Sagot ko rito.

"You call me babe?" She ask while chuckling

"Yeah, why?" Sagot ko rito habang natawa ng marahan

"Nothing, I like it." She said "It's sweet"

"Oh yeah, I call my daughter, Amber, babe, sometimes" I told her and smile

"You have a daughter?" Takang tanong nito

"Yup, her name is Amber and her twin brother is
James." Masayang kwento ko sa kanya.

"Really? I wanna meet them... I wanna meet them. Can I?" Excited na tanong nito
