Rewriting it with you ✨ [MED SERIES # 5] COMPLETED

Chapter 7

The next months I got busy helping ate Celine with her wedding. Akala ko chill sya. Pero dahil ata okay na yung both sides ng family ay sobrang excited nya. I accompanied her during cake and food tastings. Feeling ko mas ma-effort pa ako dito kaysa sa magiging kasal ko. Buti na lang minsan ang kasama nya ay yung mga friends nya.

"I rarely see you." Zian commented.

"Busy with ate Celine's wedding. You're coming, right?!" I curiously asked while writing on my patient's chart.

"Yup. Sabay na lang tayo pagpunta. Or will you go with your Paulo?" He asked slightly laughing. He even stressed on the word your.

"Okay. He'll go wih his friends. Do you know your hotel number already?" Mahinang tanong ko, bigla kasing may dumaan na consultant.

"Yup. I miss drinking with you. Strict ata ni boyfriend a." He uttered. But, when Paulo and I become official, halos hindi na kami naghihiwalay. We even went to bars together. He's my bestfriend and boyfriend in one instantly. And I'm beyond happy. He makes me happy with just little gestures or even texts. He even write me letters and notes.

"Hindi naman. Busy lang talaga. Sa Palawan, inom tayo." I suggested. Nakakakonsensya din kasi, ako lang ata friend nya dito. Si ate Celine kasi lagi namang busy kay Clarine pati kay kuya Clark.

"I'll hold on to that. Did you receive the parcel they sent us?" Tanong nya. Yung dati kasi namimg kawork pinapadalhan kami ng mga random items from New York, para daw bumalik kami.

"Yes. But I haven't opened mine. Ano ba laman?" I asked all curious. Sobrang random kasi nung last.

"I don't know either. Just got mine before I went here." He answered.

After three days na duty, sabay kaming umuwi ni Paulo. We went first to a grocery store. Tapos nag-takeout lang kami ng breakfast namin.

"Toxic kayo?" Mahinang tanong ko.

"Kinda, 4 ORs in a day. Kayo?" He asked back.

"Yup. We had like 15 admissions in one day. Halos wala akong tulog." I answered.

"I'll order a chair massager later. May kailangan ka? Magkakaroon ka na diba?" Sunod-sunod na tanong nya. He's so attentive and too concerned most of the time. Tuwing red days ko feeling ko anak nya ako. He'll buy my cravings, he'll massage me and he remains calm kahit naiinis ako sa kanya.

"Maybe in two days. Thanks, baby." I mumbled.

"You're always welcome, baby. Let's finish eating so you can have your rest." He said.

"Baby, may conference kami sa Cebu after Celine's wedding. We can't extend our stay in Palawan." He murmured while hugging me.

"Okay. It's fine. Sino kasama mo?" Antok na tanong ko.

"Gab. Can you meet them on your cousin's wedding?" Tanong nya ulit.

"Try. Is she nice? Are they nice? Magustuhan kaya nila ako?" Tuloy-tuloy na tanong ko. Sobra yung closeness nila, gusto kong magustuhan nila ako. The way Paulo told me stories about them, I know he really loves them. They are his second family.

"They are. They'll like you or love you even."  He said reassuringly. He knows how to make me at ease. His voice has a calming effect on me.

"Do you want to meet my parents?" I shyly asked. I mean for sure they'll like him. He's nice and all.

"Okay. Of course." He said smiling. He's smiling like I gave him the most expensive gift.
