THE MAN IN GREEN UNIFORM (Montenegro Series #3)

SPECIAL CHAPTER 4

Maevis's POV (Eros's Girlfriend)

Maevis's POV (Eros's Girlfriend)

In a private VIP room in Clearwater Hospital.

Maevis knocked on the door pero walang sumagot kaya pumasok na sya, he saw the 52 years old man, standing in front of his window, watching the little drops of rain against the clear glass in front of him.

"Sir Nick, I made you your favorite lunch," she told him.

She is taking care of the old man's food and diet dahil nakiusap si Eros sa kanya, pihikan ang matanda at masyadong istrikto at masungit, he hates hospital food kaya naman kinakailangang siya mismo ang maghahatid at mag aasikaso rito. For some reason, the man seems important to his boyfriend.

Lumingon ang matanda.

"Sino ka? Sinong hinahanap mo?" tanong nito.

She sighed. Inaatake na naman ito ng sakit niya. The poor old man have dementia for about 3 years na. He is the longest patient here in the hospital.

"Hindi mo na naman ako makilala, sir Nick! Ako ito, si Maevis, ang mabait at maganda mong tagapagluto."

"Nick? Nick ba ang pangalan ko?" Lumapit ako at bahagya siyang napa atras kaya naman mabilis akong lumapit at inabot ang kamay niya.

"Kumain ka po muna, okay? Baka kapag nabusog ka ay maalala mo na ako at maituloy mo na yung kwento mo kung bakit hindi ka nag asawa."

Hindi sumagot si Sir Nick pero sumunod ito sa 'kin at naupo sa hospital bed niya. Ilang minuto pa ay kumain na rin ito. I just opened the TV to watch while waiting for him to finish his food dahil aakyat pa ako sa opisina ni Audi.

"She looks more beautiful than that girl."

Mabilis akong napalingon kay Sir Nick ng magsalita ito, kasalukuyang nasa isang shampoo commercial ang nasa TV at may babaeng may magandang buhok na nakaputing dress.

"You mean yung first love n'yo po?"

"My only love."

Mag isa na lang sa buhay si Sir Nick, he don't have siblings, obviously patay na ang parents niya and he didn't have kids of his own dahil hindi siya nag asawa.

"Bakit hindi po pala kayo nagkatuluyan?"

"I came into the picture a little too late hija."

"Late?"

"But she walked down the aisle for me first, she looked so beautiful in our prenuptial photos, when I'm gone, I will allow you to see that but for the meantime, akin na lang muna iyon."

"But I am curious dyan sa first love mo sir Nick! Mukhang gwapo ka naman nung kabataan mo, bakit di ka na lang humanap ng bago?"

"My love for her was so strong and the moment I laid my eyes on her, I knew." Tumango-tango ito. "I knew, I won't love the same again."

I somehow felt scared, pwede pala iyon no? Yung magmamahal ka ng isang tao lang sa buhay mo, na hindi mo na kakayanin pang mag open up ulit kahit kanino, kahit pa hindi kayo nagkatuluyan, kasi alam mo sa sarili mo na siya lang, siya lang ang may kayang magpatibok ng puso mo
