I saw how Y/N's eyes changed when I declined her offer. I sighed deeply before saying,
Tricia: "Sige na nga. Hatid mo na ko." Hays di ko talaga sya matiis. Naiinis ako na sobrang close nya kay Ate Aiks, pero di ko naman masabi sa kanila. Tsk.

Y/N is driving. She never said a word habang nagdrdrive she just occasionally ask directions kung mabagal ang pag update ni Waze. Her spotify playlist is playing on the background and a familiar song played.. So close, yung theme song ng Enchanted.
And I can hear her humming. Naalala ko nun we used to sing songs while stuck in traffic. I then heard her whisper sing the song..
" A life goes by, romantic dreams must die. So I bid mine goodbye, and never knew.. "
When I heard that part I remember how we ended and how I hurt her. I really felt guilty about it. I was about to say something when I heard her say.
Y/N: "We're here. Do want me to wait for you?"
Tricia: "Ayoko naman na maghintay ka lang dito. Do you want to go with me instead?"
Y/N: "Are you sure? Baka maka istorbo ako sa lakad nyo."
Tricia: "Oo naman. Mga ka work ko lang naman to."
When got into the bar I saw Kelly, Sarah, and Rj already eating and drinking. I suddenly remember na kasama pala si Rj, Y/N does not know na nililigawan ako nito, kahit na ilang beses na kong nag decline.
Kelly: "Oh andyan na pala si Dr. Tricia, Dr. dito" kaway naman nito.
I snaked my arms sa elbow ni Y/N to make her feel included at ayoko din na ma out of place sya. Pagdating namin ng table we sit together and I was in the middle or Rj and Y/N.
Tricia: "Guys si Y/N nga pala. She's a Dr too. Y/N this is Dr. Kelly, Dr. Sarah and Dr. RJ."
Y/N: "Nice to meet you guys."
Sarah: "Dr. Are you single?" Medyo tipsy na si Sarah kaya kung ano ano na ang sinasabi.
Y/N: "Ah, yes I'm single." While smiling and sabay kamot sa ulo
RJ: "Are you Y/N N/A from Harvard? I read one of your articles about Neuroscience. Wow, nice to meet you Dr."
Kelly: "Ang bigatin naman ng kaibigan natin Dr. Tricia."
Tricia: "Syempre naman, best friend ko yan e. I'm so proud of her sa lahat ng achievements nya." I said while looking at Y/N.
RJ: "Alam mo namang proud din ako sayo di ba?" Sabat naman nito while trying to put his arms sa shoulder ko. Napansin kong napatingin si Y/N dun kaya naman mabilis kong tinanggal ang braso ni RJ.
Sabay namang naghiyawan tong si Sarah at Kelly.
Sarah and Kelly: "SANA ALL!"
I saw Y/N move a little bit away from me. And just casually looking to Kelly and Sarah.
Tricia: "Ikaw talaga Dr. mapagbiro ka. Let's just eat and drink gutom na din kami."
We ordered food but Y/N insisted on not drinking kasi magdrdrive pa daw sya. Medyo tipsy na din ako when Sarah ask me to dance with them. I looked at Y/N and she just said,
Y/N: "Go have fun, I'll wait for you." she then offers a comforting smile.
Y/N POV
I was left at the table, habang nasa dance floor sila. Tanaw ko naman kung nasan lang si Tricia so I was not worried. Then I saw Sarah and Kelly going back to table.
Kelly: "Hi Dr. Grabe ang init dun kaya binalik ko na muna to at lasing na." I saw Sarah tumbled to get into her chair.
I then try to look for Tricia and I can't find her. I walk to the dance floor and saw her arguing with RJ on the dark alley of the bar.
Tricia: "Dr. naman hanggang friends lang talaga ang kaya kong ibigay sayo. Please stop."
I can see RJ holding Tricia by her wrists, I can see na mahigpit ang pagkakahawak nito because Tricia is flinching. I quickly hold RJ against the wall.
Tricia: "Y/N stop please." I can feel Tricia holding my arms.
Y/N: "Kapag sinabing no umintindi ka naman. No means no Dr. Wag na wag ka ng lalapit kay Tricia." I said while pinning him.
RJ: "Who are you to say that?!"
Y/N: "Stop with your nonsense and just accept it na hindi ka mahal ni Tricia." Then I shoved him away from us. Hindi ko alam kung narinig ba ni Tricia yun, but I'm just so furious about guys thinking na they can get anything and do anything they want.
I quickly hold Tricia by her shoulder away from the crowd. Pagdating namin ng kotse I sat her down and closed the door. She roll down her window.
Y/N: "Lock the door may babalikan lang ako."
Tricia: "Y/N please stay here." I can see her shivering hindi ko alam kung dahil sa lamig o sa nangyari. I removed my jacket and gave it to her.
Y/N: "Saglit lang ako kukunin ko lang gamit natin." She nodded and roll the window back up.
I went back inside, wala si RJ sa table nila, I quickly go there and get Tricia's bag.
Y/N: "Okay lang ba kayong dalawa? Do you need a ride home? Mauuna na pala kami ni Tricia she's not feeling well.
Sarah: "Sure Dr Y/N hatid mo ko. Please?" she's baby talking..
Kelly: "Nako Dr ako nang bahala dito. Ingat kayo ni Dr. Tricia." I nodded to her went by the bar and pay the entire bill.
I walked back to Tricia, hoping na hindi nya narinig yung sinabi ko kay RJ.
