My Dear Comrade | √

Chapter 02

Rachel's POV

(Hello.)

"How can you do this to me? Do you even know that your son is dead? How can you do this to me?!" I shouted into the phone. A few hours ago, and George just now answered my call.

(Rachel, bukas na lang tayo magusap. Pagod ako.)

"Pagod? How about me? After I met you my life become..... Do you even have an idea how tiring my life after I met you?" I'm crying right now because I'm tired too. We both have no time for each other. We are both doctors, I understand that we are both busy with work but I hope he will at least leave time for his family. We are family. Throughout my pregnancy I was not with him.

(Then how about me? Rachel, please. I beg you this time. I don't have energy. I'm not in the mood to fight now.)

"George, throughout my pregnancy I wasn't with you. Now that Malik is dead you are still not with me." George didn't speak after I said that.

"Let me speak now. I know that we are both busy with work but I hope you will at least put some time for your family. I divide my time between work and family. I hope you are too but not." I was tired of speaking on the phone. So much happened to day.

(Oh? I did everything but still not enough. I prove myself every day but what you see is still completely wrong. What do you think I feel? Happy? Then no.)

"So we're both unhappy together. We should've never meet. I want to turn back time. I regret that I marry you....." I stopped speaking because of the tears streaming down my face.

"Let's file an annulment." I took a deep breath and said that word.

(Ano? Anong sinabi mo?)

George couldn't believe in what I said. so I shouted for him to hear clearly.

"Don't pretend you haven't heard. Ang sabi ko, let's fine an annulment. We're both unhappy together. From now on..... You're free." I'm crying said. I never thought that this would be the end of the vows we made to the church.

(Go! Yeah. We're both unhappy. We're both unhappy together. Just call me again when I need to sign something.)

George last said and needed the call. I immediately touched my face because I was crying. I wiped away my tears but it's still continued to cry.

A few hours later I stopped crying and stared at the envelope on the table. The contents of that envelope are the documents of the two of us. Pinakuha ko yung papers namin ni George sa kwarto sa Yaya ni Marcus para dalhin dito.

I also called my Ate to tell her what I'm going do and what happened. Tomorrow after kong ma-discharged, I will go to court to file the annulment of George and me.

Hays. I feel sorry for my son. Marcus is just 2 years old. He's too young. His parent will separate at his young age. But I will try to be a super Mom to him, I will give everything I can give him, I will give him my solid love.

Nrs. Tracy came in to check on my condition, as I was staring at the envelope she suddenly spoke. This nurse is close to me, she looks like a younger sister to me.

"Hope you don't mind me asking you this, Dr. Reyes. Is Dr. George Reyes cheated on you?" Tracy suddenly asked so I slowly looked at her.

"From now on, just call me Doctor Suarez." I said and smiled at her.

"How about Marcus, Doc?" Tracy suddenly asked me about my son.

"I will raising me." I answered.

"You will? Maybe the thing you're going to do is toilsome." Tracy said again so I try to giggle.

"Haha. Just go back to your work." I giggled and showed her the way.

Nrs Tracy left and looked at my finger wearing our wedding ring. I tiredly removed my ring and threw my ring out the window with all my might.

"This is our new beginning." I whispered after I threw away my ring.

George's POV

Let's file an annulment but..... I will never stop loving you.

I'm drinking at the bar now, I think I'm already drunk.

I took my phone out of my pocket and stared at my wallpaper Rachel and Marcus. I immediately looked at the ring on my finger.

I've been wearing it for 8 years, I think it's time to take it off.

"Boss." I called the bartender so he approached me.

"Yes, sir?" He asked so I immediately took off my ring and gave it to him.

"24 karat gold 'yan. Sangla mo kung gusto mo. Binibigay ko na sa'yo 'yan. Merry Christmas." I answered calmly so he raised his eyebrow at me.

"Hindi ako scammer. Totoo 'yan, pa-check mo pa. Hindi ko rin 'yan ninakaw. Kaya kong bumili ng sampu niyan. Tip ko na 'yan sa'yo" I said without looking at him and drank my cocktail.

I went to my twitter to tweet, I'm drunk now but I still know what I'm doing.

"Rachel and I are now separated. Let's say, we have different personalities." After I tweeted, my followers immediately saw my tweet.

"OM- what happened?"

"May anak na kayo tapos different personalities."

"Babaero daw si Dr. Reyes eh."

"Different personalities, my foot."

"What a bad news. I hope you two will heal soon."

"Gold digger daw kasi si Rachel."

Hays. Ano ba pang ineexpect ko sa mga Filipino?

"Marami na ang excited mapanood ang astronomical event ng taon. Ang Lunar Eclipse. Ilang minuto na lang ay mamumula na ang buwan....." I turned to a man watching the news.

May tao palang nanonood ng balita sa bar haha. May Lunar Eclipse pala ngayon haha. Maganda siguro yung kalangitan mamaya.

Umuwi na ako sa bahay. Ay teka, wala pala akong bahay. I just went to the company house to sleep, dito natutulog yung karamihang doktor sa ospital na pinagtatrabahuhan ko. Wait, bukas pala hindi na ko dun magtatrabaho haha.

Bye-bye Green Line Hospital, Hello West Valley Hospital. Welcome me, honey.

I sleep while the moon turns red. When I woke up the next day I cried out in panic.
