Mabilis lang na dumaan ang araw, linggo at buwan. Pasukan na ulit. It's October now and July nung pumunta kaming Boracay. I know, ang bilis diba?
Since 4th year na kami, madalas na kaming nasa ospital. Madalas pa akong napapagalitan dahil andami kong maling ginagawa. Sama mo pa yung mga residenteng akala mo sila ang may-ari ng ospital. Ewan ko talaga kung ganiyan ba talaga sila o pinag-iinitan nila ako, kami mismo.
But as much as possible, I try to stay calm and proffesional. Kasi minsan ganun din ako sa mga younger namin. Minsan na ge-gets ko rin kung bakit sila ganiyan.
Quen is busy studying for his boards while I'm busy with my med school slash empyerno hashtag sana naging patatas nalang ako.
Nakakapagod, pagod na pagod na talaga ako! Mas madalas na akong nagkakasakit and Quen would always be there taking care of me. God I love him so much.
It's a tiring day from the hospital at pagkapasok ko palang sa bahay, umupo kaagad ako sa sofa. My feet are hurting so bad!
"Oh hey, you're here" aniya ni Quen na lumabas galing sa kusina at may suot pang gloves. Lumapit siya para dampian ako ng halik sa labi. "How was your day, love?" He asked in a soothing tone
"Extra tiring" I sighed "But I'm fine" I gave him an assured smile
"Are you hungry already? Nagluto ako." Aniya
"I'll take a shower lang muna" sabi ko at tumayo na. Like I said, after taking a shower nagbihis na ako into my pajamas. Kinuha ko lang ang cellphone ko at saka ako bumaba. Pagkarating ko sa dinning area, nakahanda na ang lahat at ako nalang ang hinihintay niya.
"Let's eat?" Tumango naman ako at naupo sa tapat niya. Damn it smell so good at paniguradong masarap yun. Chicken curry, yummmm.
Ever since Quen and I started dating, we always had this rule na kapag kakain kami kahit saan pa yan, sa bahay, sa condo, sa labas like sa mall, saang restaurant or café, mapa fastfood chain, no one is allowed to use their phones. Dapat quality time together talaga. Especially nung mga 3rd or 4th year talaga dahil mas madalang nalang kaming magkasama at magkita. We valued every second spent with each other.
After eating, I volunteered to wash the dishes but he told me to hust sit down and rest. Wala naman akong nagawa kasi ayaw niya talagang mapagod pa ako lalo. I just love how much he takes care of me. Kaya ayun, wala narin naman akong gagawin maliban sa mag-aral kaya naupo nalang ako sa sofa at binuksan ang TV. Natawa pa ako ng pagkabukas nun ay mukha kaagad ni Josh ang bumungad. He was on the news dahil pumunta sila ng banda niya sa Canada para mag concert. Sikat na talaga nitong kaibigan ko, good thing Kaia's fine being the Josh Kael's secret girlfriend.
Ewan ko ba bat tinatago pa nila eh wala namang problema kung magkakaroon ng jowa si Josh kasi wala naman siyang ka love team gaya ng mga artista. Pero maybe because Kaia wants privacy. Knowing her, she doesn't want to be bother, annoyed, being asked with sooo many questions, and yes she wants a private life.
Napalingon ako kay Quen ng tumabi siya sa akin. I scooted closer to him and rested my head on his chest habang nakaakbay siya sa akin.
"Ikaw, kamusta ang araw mo?" I asked
"Nothing much, I just studied and went out to go for a jog." Aniya
"Our anniversary is coming up, where should we go?" I asked
"Why don't we go to Italy? Do you wanna meet my mom?"
Nagulat naman ako at dahan-dahang lumingon sa kaniya.
