The Surrogate (Lesbian)

Chapter 2

Same old, everyday routine.

Busy as usual si Scarlett sa hospital. Nakakapagod but she never complain dahil mahal nya ang trabaho nya——No, it is not hard to become a surgeon if that is what you really want. Sure at times it was long hours, hard work, but you will enjoy every bit of it.

That's what make Scarlett's blood alive.

After nang meeting ay inaya nya si Monique magcoffee. Para makapagrelax at makapagrefresh ng utak.

Pumunta sila sa isang sikat na coffee shop, medyo maraming tao dahil dito madalas nagpapalipas ng oras ang mga staff hospital at pamilya ng mga pasyente na naghihintay ng good or bad news.

People inside couldn't help but admire how beautiful Scarlett is the moment she enters. The surgeon is such a head turner.

"Ako na ang oorder." Sabi ni Monique sa best friend nya. "Find us a seat."

Tumango si Scarlett. "Sige."

Pumunta sa counter si Monique para umorder at agad namang nakahanap si Scarlett ng mauupuan sa bandang dulo ng shop. She's fine with it, para hindi pansinin ng tao at makapagconcentrate sya na ginagawa nyang research.

Hindi pa man nagtatagal sa pagkakaupo si Scarlett nang biglang tumunog ang cellphone nya.

Scarlett automatically smiles when he sees Forest name on the screen. Agad din nya itong sinagot.

Medyo maingay sa background ng asawa nya. "Hello Love?"

"Where are you at? Ba't ang ingay?" Nagtakang tanong ni Scarlett.

"Nasa charity party kami ni Dad ngayon. I just called to let you know I'm here." Forest's father is a prominent business man and philanthropist in the country. So charity is part of their lives. "Also baka hindi kita masundo dahil may meeting ako mamaya."

"No problem, I have my car." Scarlett said, not really caring about picking her up or not. Kasi sanay na sya last minute decision ni Forest and she doesn't really care. "See you later."

"I love.."

"Nakaorder na ako." Biglang dumating si Monique. "Five minutes pa daw."

Kaya agad pinatay ni Scarlett ang cellphone.

"Ready ka na ba para sa seminar mo?" Agad na tanong ni Scarlett kay Monique pagkaupo nito.

Nagkibit balikat si Monique. "Oo, bakit kasi hindi nalang ikaw?"

"I have major surgery coming." Maiksi na sagot ni Scarlett sa best friend nya. "Also, I have patients to monitor na hindi pwedeng iwan nalang basta."

"Right." Umikot pa ang mata ni Monique.

"It will help you a lot Monique, don't you roll eyes at me." Sabi ni Scarlett sabay bukas ng dala nyang laptop. Ayaw nya mag-aksaya ng kahit katiting na segundo para sa research nya. "Opportunity na yan eh but enjoy yourself too."

Napahinga nalang si Monique nang malalim. "Whatever you say."

Ayaw naman talaga ni Monique umattend ng seminar pero wala na syang magawa because Scarlett already endorsed her.

"Anyway.." Pasingsong na sambit ni Monique habang titig na titig sa mgandang mukha ng kaibigan nya. "Kelan nyo mamemeet ang surrogate?"

Since nag agree na si Forest at Scarlett sa surrogate, they also started talking with a facility that conduct this such procedure.

"Naghihintay nalang kami ng tawag sa clinic." Sagot ng Surgeon. "I'm mixed emotions though."

Maraming what if's si Scarlett about the Surrogate.
