Love You, Doc

Chapter 21- Stay away

Ella De Jesus

It was a crazy long ride with my team
We're now here in pampanga kaya lumabas na ako kaagad ng bus
I breathe in and out while closing my eyes
"Doc DJ! Halika na" Gab called
I nodded at sumunod sa kanila
We're staying at a resort, then We'll travel somewhere in pampanga para sa medical mission
We're just here to settle our things
"Pwede bang by partner yung Room?" Nathan suggested
"Utot mo tan! puporma ka lang kay gabriela eh" Alyssa teased

Etong si baldo talaga ang hilig mang asar

Sinamaan naman siya ng tingin ni Nathan

"Alright, Calm down. May dalawa sainyo ang mag share bed" Sabi ni Doc  Derroyo
"Pwede kami—" I cut laura off
"I'll go with Alyssa" I plainly said
Napa tigil naman ang lahat

What, Did I say something aweful?

"Anyways, Gabriela and Alyssa, You will be partners and then, Nathan and Laura" sabi ni Doc

I felt relieved, Akala ko magkasama kami ni Laura sa isang room

"Pero doc—" doc Derroyo cut her off
"No buts, Doc Lehman. Everyone, here's the key of your respective rooms. Settle your things and come back by 6 pm. We'll be having our first dinner. Do you understand?" Doc Derroyo Instructed

We all agreed and I quickly ran into my room
The room was quite simple, Pero it's better pa rin kasi wala akong makasama

I brought my novels with me so I might be reading these books sa gabi

I heard a knock from my door kaya I quickly got up and open it
"Besh! Busy ka?" Bungad ni Alyssa sakin
"Di naman, Bakit besh?"I asked
Pinapa pasok ko muna siya ng room

Baka makita kami ni Laura

I locked the door kaya nagtataka naman siya

"Bat mo naman nilock yung pintuan?" she asked

"Wala, Just wanna make sure lang na safe ako dito" Palusot ko

Napa iling nalang siya
"Anyways sinabi mo na ba sakanya?" She asked
"Sinabi? about what?" Takang tanong ko
Pinitik niya naman ng noo ko kaya napa hawak ako dun
"Aw! sakit nun ah" maktol ko
"Yung about sainyo ni Lehman. "she said
"Oh, Uhmm...yeah?Nag open up ako sakanya. I told her everything about us... About our past"Sagot ko sakanya
"Pero I told her not to worry, Matagal na kaming tapos ni Laura. Na wala na talaga kami, Wala na akong naramdaman kay Laura. I reassured her naman na sakanya lang yung apilyedo ko. " Sabi ko
"That's good to know na vocal kayong dalawa sa isa't isa. Grabe na rin pinag bago mo simula nung dumating ng tuluyan si Jema sa buhay mo" She said
Napa ngiti naman ako sakanya
"She's my everything, Alyssa. Mawala man ang lahat sa akin, Wag lang si Jema. Super thankful ako na mas nagiging malawak na yung pananaw ko dahil sakanya." I smiled
"Oh tama na drama, magpahinga na muna tayo. May call time pa tayo mamaya at baka maparusahan pa tayo" Sambit ni Alyssa
Napatawa naman ako sakanya
We bid our goodbyes and sinara ko na ang pintuan

⏳

Tapos na kaming kumain ng dinner kaya I've decided to message jema

Akyat na ako sa room ko love, Can't wait to see you eh

From: Love

To: Love
okay. Mabilis lang to love. Nasa 2nd floor lang naman yung room ko eh

I turned off my phone and nagpa alam na sakanila na aakyat na ako sa room

Nasa tapat na ako ng kwarto ko when I felt a hand on my arm
Napalingon naman ako kung sino yun

Laura

"Anong ginagawa mo dito, Laura?"I asked
"Matutulog ka na ba?" tanong niya din
"No, What are you doing here?"I asked her again
"Can we talk?" sagot ni Laura
"No, I'm doing something okay? can you please....Stay away from me? May fiancé na ako, I am taken. Matagal na tayong tapos, okay? Stop bothering me anymore" I said in annoyance
Tinitigan niya lang ako sa mata

Umiwas na ako ng tingin at tsaka dali daling pumasok sa kwarto
