Chasing the Hot Doctor (COMPLETED)

Chapter 24

Chapter 25 (Brother)

"Where have you been? Bigla ka na lang nawala sa party kagabi." Nang-uusig na tanong sa akin ni Dash ng tabihan ko siya sa sofa.

Buong gabi akong nagmukmok sa kuwarto ko matapos kong makauwi. I am scolding myself 'coz why do I need to give in to Eros again? Ang tagal kong binuo ang pader sa paligid ng puso ko yet he break it damn easily like he's just breaking a f*cking chair. Ayoko ng masaktan but heck, isang halik niya lang heto na naman ako si gaga, bumigay agad sa kanya! With just his one single touch, he made me realize that all this time, siya pa rin. I'm so stupid for letting him in again in my life yet I can't deny the fact that... I missed him.

I heave a sigh as I lean myself on Dash's chest and hugged him. "Wala kang trabaho ngayon?" Mahinang tanong ko but he just flinched.

"Don't put away the topic, princess. Where did you go last night? Sinong kasama mo?" Mariing tanong niya. I look up to him and saw his brows furrowed.

Humiwalay ako sa kanya at umiwas ng tingin. I don't want to lie to him. I promised to let him know everything that's happening to me.

Napalunok ako. "Ahm, kasi.. I'm with... Eros." Halos pabulong na sabi ko ng nakaiwas pa rin ang tingin. Nang hindi siya sumagot ay agad ko siyang tinignan. His jaw is clenching at nakakuyom ang kamao nito.

He laughed without any humor. "Really, Alex? Of all people, why do you need to be with him? Bakit sa kanya pa?" Asik niya.

"Dash...let me explain." I tried to reach him but he moved away.

He look at me with so much disappointment written on his face. This is the first time I saw him looking like this.

"I thought you already learnt your lesson before yet here you are, nagpapakatanga ka na naman sa kanya. Did you already forgot all the pain he caused you?"

Umiling ako at sinubukan siyang hawakan ulit pero tumayo na siya mula sa kinauupuan.

He shooked his head disappointedly. "I hope you know what you are doing, Alexandrite. Dahil sa oras na masaktan ka ulit dahil lang sa lalaking 'yon, I can't promise you that I will be there anymore to wipe your tears." Huling sabi niya saka ako tinalikuran.

I just followed him using my eyes hanggang sa tuluyan siyang mawala sa paningin ko. Napatakip ako sa mukha ko at hindi ko maiwasang mapaluha. I know how much I disappoint him. Siya ang nakakita sa akin kung gaano ako nasaktan dahil kay Eros. He's been with me through ups and down kaya alam kung nasaktan siya sa mga inamin ko.

Stupid, Ylorra!

"Mom? Are you okay?" Napaangat ako ng tingin ng marinig ang boses ng anak ko. I immediately wipe my tears and plastered a smile.

"Come here, baby."

Agad naman siyang lumapit at kumandong sa akin. I brushed his hair using my hand.

"Did you have your breakfast already?"

He didn't answer me, instead he stare at me and touch my face.

"You cried, mommy. Why? Who made you cry, mommy ko? Tell me, I'm gonna punch him!"

Natawa ako sa kanya dahil tila siya naghahamon talaga ng suntukan. Magkasalubong ang mga kilay nito at nakakuyom pa ang mga palad.

Is he really just turning three?

I pinched his cheeks. "I'm fine, baby. Don't worry about me, okay? Let's have our breakfast hmm?" Tumango siya kaya binuhat ko na siya patungo ng dining area.

Saktong kumakain si Nana pagpasok namin kaya naman ay sinabayan na namin siya. After eating, I entrust my son to Nana since I have a site visit now regarding the branch of SRhenz hospital that I'm about to open.
