The Untold Romance

Chapter 16.

Hindi maiwasang mapag isip-isip ni Ev ang mga pangyayari at sa mga inamin ni Bank sa kanya. Whether they were all true or not, she still couldn't grasp the whole situation. She was in the middle of her thoughts when she received a text message from Marcus.

"Gucci, are you still up?"

"Yep, still blinkin'. What's up karekare?"

"Why? Miss me already?" Biro ni Marcus.

"Loko! Nga pala, kumusta na si Natheerin?"

"She's stable for now. I'm going home soon."

"Ingat sila sa'yo este ikaw pala!" Tira niya dito. She really found a good frienemy from Marcus. It was an unexpected meet-up, but she would be forever grateful for knowing him. Their constant fights and teasing are now just for fun, and she knew she can be herself around him.

"Hahahaha! You're crazy. How's your night though?" May halong pang-iinterrogate ni Marcus sa kanya.

"Wild. Hey, Marcus, can I ask you?"

"Kagaano ka wild? Hahahaha! Yup, sure." Marcus responded.

"Heh, sira! What if.. what if you and Nat meet again uncommitted to someone else, do you think there would be a second chance for the both of you?"

She wanted to know his thoughts. When he heard from Bank that Natheerin and he were not a couple, she immediately thought of Marcus.

Marcus took about five minutes to respond, "Hmm. Not sure what to say."

Next Day

"Nurse Lisse, you're going to attend Ms. Natheerin Kitiyakara of VIP room."

Salubong na balita ng kanyang supervisor sa kanya as she changed into her hospital uniform. Wala naman siyang magawa kundi sundin ang order ng boss. She took Natheerin's medical chart and walked down the hall to her room.

She knocked on the door.

"Come in," wika ni Natheerin from inside.

When she appeared ay nakita niyang ngumiti ang dalaga kung kaya't napangiti narin siya.

"Good afternoon, Ms. Natheerin. How are you feeling?" Tanong niya dito while approaching the patient however, biglang napaliko ang mga mata niya sa lalaking nakaupo sa visitor's couch.

"Di ba busy ang taong 'to at ba't lagi kaming nagkikita?" She sighed.

"Hi, Nurse Lisse! Good to see you but very unfortunate that we keep on seeing each other as a nurse and a patient," Natheerin pouted.

"I know right," she went to check her IV and started updating the chart. She was avoiding Bank because of what happened last night, baka bigla siyang mamula ng wala sa oras. -__-

A few minutes later ay dumating si Dr. Lustre together with the two young resident doctors that he was supervising, "good afternoon, Dr." She greeted him. She also bowed to the other two doctors and they bowed back.

Napatayo naman si Bank to greet them as well.

"Hello, Ms. Natheerin, are you feeling better?" Marcus directly asked her with a smile.

"Hi, yes I'm feeling much better now than last night," she answered back. Halata sa dalawa ang pigil na awkwardness.

Dr. Lustre gave instructions to the other doctors and Ev was taking down notes too. After checking her ay nagpaalam na ito. Nakasunod naman si Ev sa kanya habang busyng-busy parin sa pagsusulat kung kaya't nakayuko siya at di napansing tumigil pala sa paglalakad si Marcus at lumingon kay Natheerin, "Oh before I forget –," thud.
