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

37

Zy

I can't move my body. I can't take another step closer to her. 

" Zy... Anak... " Hearing her voice and calling me anak... I can't help but feel the anger inside me.

" Bakit ka nandito? " I said in the coldest tone as possible. 

" Hindi ka ba masaya na nandito ako? " I don't want to be rude. I'm in front of the President of the Philippines. 

" Can we talk later nalang? It's my best day, and I don't want this to be my hatest day. " Bumaba na ko sa seat namin dahil nag sisimula na ang graduation. I can't help but tear up when the ceremony ends.

" May degree na tayo! " Jill and I hugged each other as we celebrated our milestone. May maiinggit na naman samin nito. We had our lunch together with our friends and family.

" Labs, picture! " Tricia sat beside me and hugged me from the side. Sabay-sabay na kaming umuwi but I stopped in front of Jill's apartment.

" Pumasok kana sa apartment ni Jill. " I need to face my mother. 

" Kaya mo? " I gave her a slight nod and hugged her. She kissed the top of my head and my forehead. 

" Call me if you need me. " She said and pumasok na sa apartment ni Jill.

" Zy! " Nasa likod lang namin si Myka at mama kaya sabay-sabay na kami pumunta sa apartment namin ni Myka.

" Bakit ka nandito? " I said as soon as we entered the apartment.

" Anak... I'm sorry. " 

" Sorry? Maibabalik ba ng sorry mo ang mga taon na kinailangan ko ang kalinga mo? Mapupunan ba ng sorry ang mga taon na wala ka? Ang mga graduations, birthdays, at ang libing ni papa na wala ka? Maibabalik ba ng sorry mo ang taon na tanging ikaw ang ang iniisip namin ni Papa?! Ma! Bat ka bumalik? Bat ka bumalik kung kailan may pumunan na nung pagmamahal na pinagkait mo sa'kin. Yung atensyon at pag aalaga. " I fell on my knees... 

" Zy... " 

" Kung kailan buo na 'ko... Kung kailan binuo na 'ko nung pamilyang kasama ko kanina... Tyaka ka babalik. " Alam kong masakit para sakaniya ang mga sinabi ko... Pero deserve niyang malaman lahat.

" Zy, kaya nga ako bumalik. Para makapag simula uli tayo. " She tried to hold my hands but I refuse to.

" Makapag simula? Kung di ka umalis noon, wala ka dapat simulan. Iniwan mo kami! Iniwan mo sa'kin si papa kahit alam mong may sakit siya! Ilang taon, ma! Ilang taon akong tumigil sa pag-aaral para lang mabantayan siya. Hindi ko kailangan ng sorry mo. Kay papa, baka tanggapin niya pa yan. " 

" Hindi na ikaw yung Zy na pinalaki ko noon. " I slapped her. The guts!

" You have the guts to say that? Nandon ka nung lumaki ako? Wala. Nag dadalaga palang ako nung iniwan mo ko! I was a good kid back then. But I am who I am now. You made all this shit inside me! You made me the coldest kid my papa knows. You made me the easy-to-cry girl my family knows. And all of that started when you left us. So stop questioning me for who I became, dahil wala ka nung lumaki ako. " She deserves all of this. I'm so done with her. " I don't need you anymore. I'm done. Thank you for your efforts to go to my graduation but you... " And I faced Myka. " And you... " I chuckled sarcastically. " I don't need any of you in my life. I can live on my own. " I ran to my room and closed the door. I called Tricia to pick me up.

" Labs? " My voice is shaking.

" Labs? What happened? I'm on my way. Pack your things na. " Nasabi ko na rin sakaniya na aalis na ko rito. 

" Y/N! Buksan mo yung pinto! " I know it's Myka. 

" Labs? " I opened the door as soon as I heard the love of my life. I hugged her tight while crying. 

" I-i want to g-go home. " I said while sobbing. 

" Shush, I'm here. We're gonna go home. I'm gonna take you home. " Kinuha niya ang bag ko at inalalayan ako lumabas.

" Zy... We love you. " That's the last time I heard about Myka.

- Present time -

" Done kana sa ginagawa mo? " Nasa office ako ni Tricia ngayon dahil wala naman akong shoot today.

" Yup! Do you want to eat something? " Kanina pa kasi siya may ginagawa.

" I want you. " Tumabi siya sa'kin at siniksik ko ang mukha ko sa leeg niya.

" Nag lalambing na naman ang baby ko. Do you want something? " Nag ayos na siya ng gamit para maka uwi na kami. 

" Daan tayo starbucks. I'm sure you want some coffee. " I held her hand at lumabas ng office niya. 

" Sabi ni mama dumaan daw tayo sa condo later. She cooked. " Busy President siya pero nag lalaan pa rin siya ng oras para sa mga anak niya. 

" Let's bake there! " We just grab some coffee at nag drive na papunta sa condo nila.

" Ma? " We saw Jill sa living room. Nag aayos ng lagguage niya.

" Sure kang mag s-stay ka rito? " Jill asked. Pupunta kasi siyang NYC to work. Tricia will go to Harvard to get her Master's degree. 

" Yup. Bibisita ako sainyo, don't worry. " Next month na ang alis nila kaya may 1 month nalang kami ni Tricia para mag travel. 

" Bibisita ka ha! " I sat beside Jill and her Ate ay natulog muna sa taas. Di na rito nakatira si Tricia dahil gusto niya kong samahan sa bahay. Pero nauwi siya rito sometimes or nag s-sleepover kami rito pag di masyadong tight ang sched namin.

" Kumusta? " Alam nilang napaka hectic ng schedule ko. 

" Kaya pa naman. Pero I think magiging hectic uli siya. " Medyo lumuwag kasi ang sched nitong nakaraang linggo.

" May shoot ka? " I nod.

" Mga Anak? "
