Doctor Lee (ON-GOING)

02. Double Trouble

Bakit sa dami nang pwedeng piliing lugar ay sa bar pa? I mean, that's not even the right place to held a formal date. Hindi na lang ako nag-inarte pa at naghanda na lang sa pagbihis at pag make-up. Kagagaling ko lang din sa trabaho at mabuti na lamang ay hindi ganoon ka-hectic ang schedule ko today so I have a spare time for this.

Nakatanggap ako nang text mula sa lalaking nireto sa akin ni kuya Froylan kagabi. Kuya gave it last night to him at nagbigay pa siya nang ilang details nang lalaking mami-meet ko today. He was an engineer and a car racer. His family was also prominent in this town, they owned the one and only Sevilla Construction Inc., the most well-known construction company in Bhelletaine.

Nang i-mention ni kuya Froylan ang Sevilla nagkaroon agad ako nang idea kung sino ang possible kong ma-meet today. The Sevilla has 5 heirs and they are all boys. Chandler, Ashton, Dale, Eason and Franklin. They all studied civil engineering because of their family's kind of business. Silang lahat ang magmamanage nang company nila when their parents retired or died.

I know it's Franklin, the youngest Sevilla whom I going to meet today. Siya lang ang possible na mameet ko dahil ang tatlong nakatatanda ay kasal na at yung isa ay hindi mahilig sa mga date. Franklin was the only one who is easygoing when it comes to this. Parang fuck boy lang, ganon at nakikinita ko na na this won't work out pero dahil naka set na ang lahat ay makikisama na lang ako, just a friendly act.

Matapos kong mag-ayos at masiguro na ready na ako, I stepped out of my room at sumakay na nang elevator and headed to the parking lot. I'm wearing a black bodycon dress, a pair of black high heels and a black banquet glitter bag.

Someone whispered behind my back and I knew it's kuya Froylan, again! Mukhang may pupuntahan din siya ngayon, He was wearing a casual button-down partnered with a khaki Chinos, boat Shoes and a minimalist watch.

"Mukhang pinaghandaan talaga ah!" 'yan na naman ang mapang-asar niyang tawa. I glared at him at napatigil din naman siya. Mukhang natakot sa nakitang expression sa mukha ko.

"Stop pestering me, kuya!" dumiretso na lang ulit ako at hindi na inabala pang tingnan pa siya.

"Okay, I'm so sorry!! Just give me your keys, Aurelia. I'll drive you there." Biglang alok nito sa akin. Hindi na lang ako nagdalawang isip at binigay ko na lamang ang susi nang sasakyan ko.

While on our way, we just talked about my brother, Jacob. Kinamusta niya ito and he also told me that once I'll visit him next time ay sasama rin daw siya dahil matagal niya na itong hindi nakikita. He also mentioned that his brother, Niccolo, will have an inauguration and grand opening celebration nang bago nilang tayong private school.

"Are you free in that day?" he asked, nagpapark na siya ngayon sa parking space nang bar and resto na ito.

Solace Bar and Resto.

"Hmm, I will still check my schedule, kuya. For now I'm not sure." nagsimula na akong mag-retouch at tinignan ang sarili sa salaming dala ko. When I'm confident already, lumabas na ako sa sasakyan. Akala ko ay ibibigay na sa akin ni kuya ang susi ko at aalis na rin kung saan man siya pupunta but his way was same as mine and then I realized that his destination was here too.
Kaya pala ito naki-ride sa akin para libre ang gas!

"Dito ka rin? what will you do here? magmamanman ka ba sa date namin?" tuloy-tuloy na tanong ko sa kaniya. I'm still giving him a suspicious look however his reaction was like 'ano pinagsasabi mo diyan?'

"You'll know it.." he only smirked at agad niya rin akong hinatak papasok sa loob nang bar and resto. Hindi pa kami nakakarating sa paanan nang matayog na pintuan ay naririnig ko na ang ingay mula sa loob. As if the people were partying and making fun.
