The Pledge Between Us✨ [MED SERIES #9] COMPLETED

Chapter 24

The months of doing nothing somewhat paralyzed my cognitive function. I'm not sure if that's even a thing or it's pathologic na, but hell, nawindang ako sa unang buwan ng med school.

For just Gross Anatomy, isang subject yun pero bakit sampo yung lecturer? I can't even get myself familiarized with their teaching style or even the modalities.

"Jus, I think I failed the first long exam in Gross," I cried softly. Agad siyang tumayo at niyakap ako, binuhat pa niya ako kasi kanina pa ako nakatulala lang na nakatingin sa malayo. "I think I failed it so bad."

"Baby, una pa lang yun. Diba isang taon nating pag-aaralin yung Gross Anatomy? You still how many exams left? More than ten? That's just the beginning," lalo niyang hinigpitan ang yakap niya sa bewang ko.

Sitting on his lap was like a routine already, para akong bata tuwing hindi okay yung araw ko. The first month of med school was like a preliminary test of the gates of hell.

Sobrang tambak ng mga gagawin, from lab manuals to the never ending case discussions or the ever famous word SGD. Halos hindi ko alam ano yung uunahin, hindi pa nagsisimula halos yung araw yung stress level ko nag-peak na.

"Stop crying, baby," he kissed my temple. "Babawi tayo next exam, okay? Mahirap talaga kasi adjustment period pa lang natin."

"Exactly, one month na pero nalilito pa rin ako sa lahat. Ang daming gagawin, may SGD pa ako sa biochem sa friday. Tapos magta-trans pa ako sa Physio. Then, yung lab manual ko sa Histo hindi ko pa nasisimulan. Tapos yung ipa-pass na paper sa embryo, wala pa nga ako na-iisip na congenital na sakit. Tapos yung paper na isa-submit sa Physio lab, tatlong pathophysiology yun, pagod na ako," tuloy-tuloy na reklamo ko.

"Ako na gagawa nung pathophysio, edit ko na lang yung akin. Yung embryo, hanapan kita ng sakit mamaya, I'll do yours. Yung lab manual mo wala ka pa nasimulan? Ako na gagawa."

That made me cry even more. "I'm sorry, Jus. Sorry for being a total bitch these past few days. Sorry sinisigawan kita kapag naiirita ako."

"It's fine," he kissed my shoulder. "I haven't said my vows to you. But, it includes me understanding and taking care of you in whatever situation or mood you are in. In good times and in bad, you'll forever have me. Okay? So, ano na gagawin ko?"

"Have you tried writing your vows?" nakonsensya nanaman tuloy akong hindi natuloy yung summer wedding namin.

"I don't need to put that into writing," he looked at me soulfully. "I have memorized all the things I want to do for you, it's engraved in my mind and my soul already, so if ever you'll marry me in a shotgun wedding, mind you, I'm prepared," there's a chuckle after. I cupped his face and kissed him slowly.

"I'm so blessed it's you," I deepened his responses. "I love you so much, Jake Justine. 

"I love you, too," he made our nose touch.

"Make love to me," I whispered, a heard a loud chuckle.

"Damn, more than a month of nothing. Prepare yourself, princess," he carried me to bed while all that can be heard in our unit was our contagious laughs.

"Satisfied?" I teased him after our second. Agad niya akong kiniliti kaya todo yung hagikgik ko. "Jus, stop na," nagpunas ako ng pawis.

Nagulat ako noong binuhat niya ako at tumakbo sa bathroom.

"One last," his breath was sensual and ticklish. "Baka isang buwan ulit na wala, eh," bulong niya bago niya ipasok muli ang kabuuan niya sa akin.
