Med To Be With You

90

Epilogue

I was about to ring the door bell when someone opened the gate for me. His mouth sprung open like he couldn't believe that he just saw me.

"What brings you here?" Tristan was too stunned to see me here infront of our house and asked.

Umirap ako. "Ako nga dapat magtanong sa'yo niyan."

He casually laughed. "I came here because my dad told me to bring some papers for the upcoming board meetings."

Nangunot ang noo ko. I think Tristan quickly understood my confused reaction yet I still asked why. "Bakit para saan?"

Gumilid siya. "Do you want to come in first and have a conversation on our way inside?"

"Okay ang init din sa labas." sabi ko and he closed the gate for me.

"Where were we?"

"Board meetings," I reminded him.

"Right,"

We just talked casually. Tipong no hard feelings. Naka-move on na din naman siya sa akin same goes for me. Pero 'di na kami bitter sa isa't-isa unlike before na halos isumpa ko kapag nakikita ko siya.

Naalala ko lang kasi all the pain he caused me. Na ang saya namin in those three years relationship na naging relationshit real quick. I did actually questioned myself worth.

Was I not good enough for him?

Turns out I realized that I was more than good enough for him that he didn't even deserve a second chance.

He admitted that he was an asshole. He apologized for breaking up with me. For inflicting pain as if hindi nangyari. As if hindi ako nasaktan na ganoon kadali na patawarin siya. The only reason he wanted to stay with me its because his dream was to work in our hospital and get his degree. He was lucky my parents like him despite that he just used me for that.

Still a bastard that time, who doesn't fucking like red flags? Buti na lang malinaw mata ko at nakakita ako ng green light.

But oh well, nagsisi na siya. Apology accepted. Bata pa kami noon. He also said na he genuinely loved me pero na guilty siya kaya siya nakipaghiwalay. He was too focused on his dreams too. He didn't ask me to comeback to him anymore but he's showing me before he have plans on trying to make us work again and I have no plans to go back to him because that time I already like Zyril.

Alam kong palagi nandito sa bahay si Tristan, bumibisita dahil alam kong med student na siya at sa ospital nila mon siya nag-intern for that.

"They're planning to build another hospital in the country side, sounds good right?" He said. "Didn't you know that?"

"Never heard of it, as far as I remember a single how are you julie? Are you fine? You won't hear them ask those things... except for dad so don't expect na may alam ako sa pagpapatayuan nila ng hospital o kung anong business pa 'yan."

Dapat ma-bitter ako pero sanay na ako. Si dad hindi ako natiis after I moved out of the condo he told me I can still ask him anything. But I refused to ask money as much as possible I make my own money in day-to-day life.

We love independent woman!

We just have to keep it a secret from mom because he'd be dead by now.

And I understand it. Si mon lang talaga matigas.

"Still have a beef with your mom. What brings you here?"

"Kakausapin sila more like convince some things."

He nodded. "Goodluck with that some things. Just go inside they're in the dining," he opened the main door. "They seemed to be in a good mood I think?"
