Chapter Six

Dating

Pagkatapos naming manggaling sa National Museum ay dumaan pa muna kami ni Yessa sa isang maganda rin na cafe that she suggested herself to have some coffee and tea, and cakes as our snack. Bago ko siya ihatid pabalik ng bahay nila at saka naman ako uuwi na rin sa amin.

"This is a nice place." tukoy ko sa cafe na pinuntahan namin ngayon.

Tumango naman sa akin si Yessa. "Yes. It's an aesthetic cafe..." She smiled.

Ngumiti rin ako sa kaniya.

"Thank you for today, Leo. It was a fun date." Yessa told me and she smiled, pagkatapos ko na siyang ihatid sa bahay nila.

Ngumiti rin naman ako sa kaniya. "You're welcome. I had fun, too. And thank you as well." I said.

And she smiled at me more.

At ang unang date namin ay nasundan pa ng pangalawa hanggang pangatlo. We didn't always had the time to date because we're busy at the hospital. Pero palagi na rin naman kaming kahit nagsasabay lang din na mag-lunch or snacks sa cafe ng hospital. At may ilan na rin na staff din ng hospital ang nakakapansin sa amin ni Yessa.

"It seemed to us that you're dating one of our currently resident doctor here, Doctor Yessabella Sison, right?" Ngumisi sa akin ang kasama at kasabay ko rin na doctor dito sa Dela Cuesta Medical Hospital.

Ngumiti lang naman ako. Tinatanong na nga rin ako kahit doon sa nurses' station ng mga kakilala ko na ring nurses dito.

"Man, she's a beauty!" Doctor Marquez said. And then he looked at me. "When we thought that you're never gonna date again since you just focused with work, but here you are dating such a beautiful young doctor." Ngumisi siya sa akin.

Ngumiti lang din muli ako sa kaniya at bahagyang napailing.

He's also my classmate in medical school. Kaya sa huli ay niyaya niya na rin ako na makipagkita sa mga dati rin naming classmates. At isama ko na raw si Yessa para maipakilala sa mga kaibigan namin.

"I'll ask her first." I told him.

Tumango naman siya. "All right."

And then during our break I asked Yessa about the meetup with my friends. Nagkita lang muli kami sa cafe ng hospital.

"Are the other doctors and nurses also asking you about us? Tinatanong na rin kasi ako ng mga kasama ko..." Yessa said.

Tumingin naman ako sa kaniya. "Uh, about that..."

"Did you confirmed it that we're dating?" She asked me.

Agad naman ako na umiling sa kaniya. "No, of course not. We're still getting to know each other... are we not?"

And it's exactly what I told everyone who asked. That we're still on the stage of dating and knowing each other. But not really the dating as in dating... Am I wrong?

Tumango naman siya sa akin.

"I'm thinking of giving our relationship a chance, Leo..." She said.

And my lips parted. Nagkatinginan kaming dalawa. "Yessa..."

She nodded at me. And then she smiled. "Wouldn't you ask me?"

"Uh, yeah?" Parang sandali naman akong nag-panic.
