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

Chapter 56

Habang nag-uusap kami ni Flynn ay hindi maalis yung tingin sa amin ni Justine. He was cooking but his focus was solely with me.

"You sure? Yes?" inulit ulit ni Flynn.

"Ang kulit mo, oo nga, yes na nga," sagot ko.

Tumayo siya at niyakap ako. "I'll see you later?"

"Sure," I smiled. Umalis na si Flynn kaya natuon ko na yung diwa at isip ko sa lalaking bacon lang ang niluluto nagdadabog pa.

"You have to wait before you two can get married," he said it immediately. "You're still married to me, wala pa tayong court appearance. Will probably take us five years. Tell him to wait."

"Huh?"

"You're going to marry him, right? You said yes," he uttered. Tinignan ko siya at tumawa ng malakas. Nanlisik yung tingin niya, sobra kasing nakakaloko yung tono ko.

"You think he proposed to me?"

"Didn't he? I saw the small box and the ring," his eyes looked for my left hand. Tinago ko yun kaya napasinghal pa siya. "You have to wait. Alam na ba ng parents mo? Nagpaalam man lang ba siya?"

"Kailangan ba?" nagpipgil na akong matawa noong nakita ko yung pag-igting ng panga niya.

"Yeah, I mean out of respect na rin," sabi niya.

"I'll tell him then," I grinned.

"Okay. Mamanhikan ba siya agad? Dahan-dahain mo lang sila Tita, baka mapaano pa sila."

"Hindi ko alam," sagot ko.

"Bakit hindi mo alam? I mean, mamanhikan na lang ba siya kapag malapit na? So mga limang taon pa."

"Let's ask Wendy later."

"Why would we ask Wendy? Can't you decide for that?"

"I'm not the bride, why would I plan it?"

"What?! What do you mean?" he got startled, muntik tuloy siyang mapaso.

"Mamaya pa lang naman magpro-propose si Flynn kay Wendy," sabi ko.

"Oh, you two are not dating? Sabi ni Dom..." naguguluhan siya. "Fucking, Clyden Dominique."

"Matagal ka pa? Nagugutom na ako," sabi ko. Sumilay yung ngiti ng pag-asa sa mga labi niya.

"Why did you say yes to him, then?"

"He was asking if Wendy will like it. He had it custom-made in Singapore. Later ata siya mag-propose," sagot ko.

"You didn't like date at all?"

"We went out once or twice, but we knew it won't work out," I said, sipping on my celery juice he made himself.

"Why? I mean crush mo siya dati."

"He's not. Tss, paulit-ulit ka. Hindi nga eh," inis na sabi ko. "I just don't like to date back then, tapos after few months he asked me if Wendy is single."

"At okay lang sa iyo?"

"Why wouldn't it be? It was a platonic date, it's not like we kissed or anything," I muttered. "Kailan ka pala uuwi ng Pinas?"

"Bakit? Uuwi kana?" naka-ngisi pa siya.

"No. You're here for less than a month already, wala ka bang pasyenteng naghihintay sa iyo?"
