A Doctor's Love ( Zy x Doc. Tricia )

Aika

My body froze when I heard her voice... It's her.

" Ally...? " I want to run to her, but something is forcing me not to do it.

" Aika... "

" I'm sorry, Aiks. Forgive me, please. I can't stay with you. I can't stay by your side, My Aku. " I felt my knees tremble. Aku, the nickname she made for me. No one is allowed to call me that.

" Estelle... " That's her name. I can't say any words. She holds my hands.

" I like you, Aku. But I can't stay. " Why? I need an answer.

" Is he the guy? " Referring to the guy she talks about. The guy that gave her the Trauma. She nodded. " I understand. " I understand even the pain. 

" Aika, sorry. " I saw a tear on her cheeks.

" Don't be sorry. I'll be okay. " I don't want her to feel guilty about ghosting me or hurting me. 

" I... " I can hardly see her anymore. I can only see a blurred woman because of my continuous tears.

" I'll wait for you, Estelle. Kahit walang kasiguraduhan. " As soon as she let my hand go... That's the indication of her letting me go.

" Be happy. " I fell to my knees dahil hindi ko na kaya ang bigat na nararamdaman ko.

" Ate! " Jill was supporting me to stand up. 

" Let's go home. " We passed by the OVP first, but I didn't get off. 

" Hinahanap ka ni mama. " We left again to go home.

" I'm tired." I was the only one in the passenger seat. Nakatingin sa kawalan. 

"Do you want to eat?" I shook my head.

" I don't feel like it. Let's go home. " I just want to lay on my bed and cry myself out. I feel extra tired today.

A few days passed when my only routine was to go house-to-house, eat, and sleep. I don't feel na gumawa ng kahit ano. Meeting de Avance today, many volunteers are here, including Manila volunteers. 

" May hinahanap ka?" Patty looked at me.

"Nothing."

" Okay. " They left me because they said they would greet the volunteers first.

" Ally? " I heard mama say her name.

" Yes. Nice to finally meet you, VP Leni. " Ma. wag mo ko ibuking.
