Love You, Doc

Chapter 4-Destiny

Ella De Jesus

I heard my door opened kaya naoa tingin ako kung sino yun
It was Alyssa Valdez, one of my bestfriend and also a Pediatrician.
"Ly, wala akong pagkain."Bungad ko sakanya
"Grabe ka naman! Makiki chismis lang eh" She said and sat in front of me
Napa kunot naman ang noo ko
Anong ibig niyang sabihin?
Mukhang na pansin niya atang naka kunot ang mga noo ko
"Ah, kase, nabalitaan kong may kinaka usap kang nurse dito. Ano ba pinag uusapan niyo?" she asked

Should I tell her ba?

Of course, she's my bestfriend naman

I heaved a sigh first before speaking

"I'm getting married with that nurse" Sambit ko
Napatulala naman siya sa sinabi ko
"SERYOSO?!" she shouted
"Calm down nga, Ly. Baka may makarinig pa sa labas eh. And yes, We're getting married. Pero, I told her na Kilalanin muna namin ang isa't isa before we get married. Kasi di naman easy yun na ganun lang kaagad" Sagot ko
"Tama nga naman. Nga pala, anong name nung nurse?" she asked with curiosity in her voice
"Si Nurse Jema, Jema Galanza. The one I told before, yung annoying woman we met sa bar" I said
she was shocked
Yes, We met her sa bar.
She was drunk kasi kaya I got annoyed kasi ang kulit niya tapos sinukahan pa yung damit ko nun
"OMG! Destiny na talaga yan besh! Grabe ah, pinagtagpo talaga kayo" She exclaimed
Napa iling nalang ako sakanya
"Ikaw talaga, kung ano ano na sinasabi mo. Umalis ka na nga, besh. May ginagawa pa ako" Sambit ko
"Dahan dahan lang besh ha,Nasa moving on stage ka pa. Oops" Sambit niya sabay takip ng bibig niya
"Naka move on na ako besh. Wala na siya sa sistema ko" I said
"Grabe ah. Oh sya, na iistorbo ata yang pag plano mo sa wedding niyo" she teased
Napa ngisi siya bago lumabas ng Office
Napa iling nalang ako kay Aly

After work, I decided to text Jema

To: Jema

To: Jema

From:Jema

From:

To:Jema

I smiled and fixed my things.
I quickly went outside and pumunta sa elevator

It wasn't that long when I arrived
And I saw her pag labas ko ng elevator

"Sorry, natagalan. Madami kasing sumakay sa elevator" I said
"Okay lang! Let's go?" She said, smiling
Napa tango naman ako at naglakad
"Where do you want to go?" I asked
"I-ikaw na po bahala d-doc" na uutal na sagot niya
I chuckled
"I told you, Ella nalang kung tayo lang dalawa ang nag uusap. At tsaka, ikaw na mag decide" Sagot ko
We stopped in front of my car
Naka tingin lang siya sakin, I guess she's contemplating
"So,Jema san tayo?" I asked
Nagulat naman siya, She's spacing out eh
"P-pwedeng sa p-pancake h-house" Sambit niya
P

ancake house?
Napa iling naman ako
"Alright, Ako na bahala" sambit ko
Pinag buksan ko naman siya sa passenger's seat
She was just standing
"Get inside, Jema." Sabi ko
I saw her gulped before going inside
I smiled and Closed the door

Jema Galanza

"We're here" sambit niya
She parked her car at mabilis na lumabas ng kotse para pag buksan ako
I saw her smiling kaya I nervously smiled
Pag labas ko ng kotse, nasa sm manila na pala kami!
"Hey, Are you okay?" She asked
"U-uhmm... o-oo" na uutal kong sagot
Takte naman eh! bat pa ako na uutal
"You looked tense, Calm down Jema. Let's go? siguro gutom ka lang" she chuckled
I nervously nodded
Napansin niya naman yun kaya hinawakan niya ang kamay ko
Bigla namang nag iinit yung mukha ko
Ano ba naman yan!!!

After a while, Nasa Aristocrat Restaurant na kami
"uhm, I have reserved a table for two. Jorella De Jesus" sambit niya sa receptionist
"Oh, this way po ma'am" sagot nung receptionist
Naka hawak pa din ako sa kamay niya
"Here po, Table for two. Ako na po mag kukuha ng order niyo" Sabi ng receptionist
Hinila niya yung upuan ko
I looked at her, Raising my brow
"Sit, Jema" sambit niya
Agad naman akong napa upo
Pulang pula na ako oh!
Agad kong tinakpan yung mukha ko gamit ang menu
"Uhmm, I'll have Crispy Pata,Bulalo,Calamares, and a bowl of rice please. Ikaw, Jema anong order mo?" She asked
napa ayos naman ako ng upo at tsaka nag tingin tingin sa menu
Dun ko naman napag tanto na ang mahal!!!
Diko namalayan na dinala niya pala ako sa mamahaling restaurant
Nakakahiya naman!
"Jema? Something wrong?" Ella Called
Nagulat naman ako at napa tingin sa menu
Hindi ko binaba yung menu, baka makita pa yung mukha ko, nakakahiya!
"U-uhmm...s-siguro a-ano, u-uhmm... l-leche f-flan?" nauutal na sabi ko
I heard her chuckle
"And 2 leche flan. Paki take out nalang po nung isang leche flan" Sambit niya
"Okay po ma'am. Mga 15 minutes po yung order" sabi nung receptionist
"Okay, We'll wait" si Ella na yung sumagot habang ako'y tahimik lang
