Alejandro's Hombre

Ch. 4: at the bar

hindi na natuloy ang dapat ay meeting nya sa Hospital Director dahil sa nangyari. isa pa, basa na rin ang katawan nya ng pawis at kinailangan nyang magbihis. He's still worried about the man's condition dahil tulog pa rin ito ng isakay sa stretcher para dalhin sa emergency room ng ospital.

He also didn't had the chance to talk to Doctor Simon dahil nagmamadali rin ito na matingnan ang lalaki. kilala sa buong FSEMC si Doctor Lawrence Simon Grande bilang batikang psychologist/anxiety therapist at neurologist. mas bata lang ito ng isang taon sa kanya ngunit mabilis ang naging promotion nito dahil isa rin itong prodigy, kagaya nya. ito ang Head ng Neurology and Psychology department ng pagamutan kaya alam nyang maalagaan nito ang kasama nya kanina sa elevator.

and speaking of him---hindi nya nga pala ito kilala. He didn't got the chance to even ask or know the guy's name. well, not that it matters. ang mahalaga, may buhay syang nailigtas sa araw na ito na hindi naganap sa operating room.

"you're home early."

It's his father, playing golf at their lawn na pinasadya nitong ipa-landscape kapag hindi nito tipong pumunta sa golf club. nakatayo malapit dito ang head butler na si Foei na syang nagsisilbing caddie at apat na kasambahay.

"boa noite, senhor Alejandro." pagbigay galang ni Foei at ng mga kasambahay sa kanya. He nodded and smiled at them.

"boa noite. boa noite, Pai." ganting bati nya sa kanila, at sa kanyang ama. "I finished everything early today. and, Khairie invited me to hang-out tonight."

"Khairie?"

"Si, Pai. Khairie Tanutchai, Amy's cousin. batchmate ko sa HGU Biology before."

tumango ang Ama at hindi na nagsalita pa, so he took it as a cue to leave. when it comes to the Tanutchais, his father never questioned him if he hangs out with any of them. connections are vital for their father anyway, that he betrothed him at an early age to the granddaughter of the said clan.

The moment he's inside his room, he took off his polo and unbuckle his belt. the centralized air-conditioning of his room automatically turn on, giving him a cool feeling. He stayed in there half-naked, feeling refreshed after being confined inside the musty elevator for hours.

this room of his is 20 feet wide and 20 feet long, a total of 400 square feet. it has a navy-blue colored interior, a king size bed with a tangerine themed sheets and pillows, a set of white blinds, a complete work desk set equipped with the latest Apple Office desktop computer and gadgets. there are two air purifiers, an automatic room freshener a subwoof HD sound system and a 72 inches apple TV.

after feeling cooler, he took off his jeans leaving him in his Calvin Klein boxers. He then opened his jacuzzi bath and hit the showers. He sighed as the cold water ran down on his body, washing all the sweat away. he then wrap a towel around his waist as he dry his hair with another. He step into his walk-in closet that can house a family of five people due to its enormous size.

inside are his wardrobe collection that ranges from the most sought after luxury brands in the world: on the right are the standard of men's luxury in clothing like Tom Ford, Ralph Lauren, Dior Atelier, Calvin Klein, NIKE, Balenciaga, LOEWE, Louis Vuitton and others. to the left are the racks of jewelries, perfumes and shoes from BVLGARI, ROLEX, APPLE IOS, and Cartier. his perfume collections comes from Maison Margiela, Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein. and not all of these brands are his purchases, for some of it are gifts from the said brands themselves. because aside from the fact that he is a renowned surgeon, he also happens to be an ambassador of their products. that's how star-studded his life is.

after wearing a casual jogger pants and a Michael Jordan shirt, Xander slumped on his bed and sighed as he felt the fragrant and feather-like smoothness of the mattress. He then got the remote and turn his smart TV on Netflix, watching the series Wednesday. He just stayed like that until his smartphone ring, and he chuckled to see Khairie's name.
