Sa Susunod Na Habang Buhay

CHAPTER 24

" Aalis na raw yung mga reporter ah."

" Oh tapos?"

" Wala lang. Hindi mo ba gustong tingnan?" my co-doctor asked

"Why would I?" I remained my eyes on fixing our things so that we can move to the guest house

" Ewan. Mukha kasing close kayo nung isang reporter."

Close? "How did you say so?"

" Hindi ba? Nakita ko kayong magkasama eh." he reasoned out

" Being together doesn't mean we're close." I said impulsively

" You're not close so why do you have to be together, Dr. Viglianco?"

I was caught off guard.

I tried searching for words. "Because.."

"Because?" he teased

Ibinato ko sa kaniya ang bag kaya malakas siyang tumawa.

" Aaww. Si doc, crush yung reporter." he commented

" She is not." I stated

Nonetheless, I found myself looking at her from a distance. I didn't want to show myself to her, yet I couldn't afford to not see her. I don't know how would I explain to her my actions last night, because I, myself don't even know why I did that.

Clvn Javier:
Club, with Anne's friends. I'll send you the address.

I had no plans to go clubbing with Calvin but when he mentioned that he was with her wife's friends, a part of me expected to see her. And I wanted to see her.

Just when I got inside, I already saw her with many bottles on their table. My plan of finding Calvin to drink ended up with me sitting not that far from her.

Wasted.

She kept on drinking even though it is obvious on her face that she's not used the alcohol.

Her friends tried stopping her but she just continued.

I noticed a group of man coming to her way. I can see their lustful look on her, but before they could introduce to her, another man came and sat next to her.

My brows knitted when he held her waist and pulled her closer to him.

I stood up to help her get rid of the fuckers beside her but I held back when she leaned on him.

"Boyfriend, huh." I mumbled

When I look back at those men, they also look disappointed.

I wanted to go home but there's a part of me that wanted to stay there. I got contented with looking at her from afar.

"Ayoko ng kaibigan."

I didn't know what happened but I just followed her. She looks like she's not okay.

She impulsively walked through the crowd not minding where she's bumping to.

I wasn't sure what was happening but I just wanted to accompany her and to make sure that she's safe.

But it turned chaotic.

I could not say if her actions were rational and I had no plans to interfere, but when people started taking videos, I knew I had to do something.

In wanting to make her safe, I've said things that I shouldn't. And I could never take it back.

“ Seriously,” my brows knitted when I saw the headlines
