The Repercussion: Scandalous Series 1 [COMPLETED]

Chapter 20

The next day we had our breakfast in Jolibee. He ordered everything I wanted. Kahit 'yong mga hindi ko sinabi sa kaniya na bilhin niya ay bumili pa siya.

Sa huli ay na-takeout namin 'yong iba niyang order. Sabi niya okay lang daw dahil hindi ito masasayang. Ibibigay niya raw ito sa pasyente niya. Para sa pasyente niya pala 'yon akala ko para sa akin.

We arrived at the hospital after ten minutes. I gulped when we started walking in the hallway. Naaalala ko 'yong mga panahon na tinutulak ko ang wheelchair ni Daddy gamit ang maliliit kong daliri. I shook my head and followed Lucien.

He showed me his assigned station. Sa first floor siya naka assign kaya mabilis kami nakapunta sa kwarto.

"His name is Akhios," he informed me before he opened the room.

"I know, uhm, anak ba talaga siya ni Darcy?" I sounded doubtful and he just chuckled at me.

My head creased at him. Pinihit niya ang door knob at nakita namin si Akhios na nakahiga sa kama nito. Nalungkot ako dahil hindi pa rin ito nagigising. Hindi ko na rin nakikita si Darcy kaya ang alam ko ay busy ito sa dami ng trabaho niya.

"Hey buddy," tahimik na umupo si Lucien sa harap ni Akhios. The sound of his machine was the only one responding. "I got your favorite burger steak."

Iniligay ito ni Lucien sa mesa katabi ng kama ni Akhios. I sighed feeling the sadness in my chest. Nasa gilid si sister Claire at nakangiting pinagmamasdan kami. Ito ngayon ang bantay kay Akhios. Mukhang sanay na ito sa ginagawa ni Lucien.

Akhios feature is a boy version of Darcy. I'm sure when he gets older, a lot of girls would go crazy over him.

Ilang saglit pa kaming nakatitig kay Akhios ng bumukas ang pintuan. Akala ko si Darcy ito ngunit si Austin ang pumasok. Ngumiti ito sa amin. Halatang pagod siya ngunit hindi nito naibsan ang kagwapohan niya.

He was carrying a basket of fruits and a food for sister Claire. Nagpasalamat naman ito sa kaniya. Tinapik ni Lucien ang balikat ni Austin at tipid lang itong ngumiti sa kaniya.

"We have to go, sister Claire." pagpapaalam ni Lucien. Hindi rin nagtagal si Austin at pumunta sa kabilang direction ng Hospital.

Kami naman ni Lucien ay nagpunta sa mga iba niyang pasyente. Daig niya pa ang tatakbo dahil tuwang-tuwa ang mga bata habang ibinibigay ang paborito nilang pagkain.

It was six thirty when Lucien drove me home. He dropped me in the boarding house while he went home to his mansion. The Doña is going to sleep there that's why he needs to take care of his grandma.

While walking on the compound I could hear some kids singing a Christmas song in the neighborhood. Pasko na bukas. I wonder kung ano ang plano ni Lucien kasama ang pamilya niya. . .

When I reached my room, I instantly lay down on my bed. I feel exhausted, gusto ko ng matulog. Dahil sa pagod na nararamdaman ko ay hindi ko na namalayan na nakatulog ako.

I woke up late the next day, kaya nakaramdam nanaman ako ng matinding gutom. I went to the kitchen and refilled my tumbler with water. I made matcha for breakfast and ate cookies. After eating, I took a quick bath. It was so cold, kinailangan ko pang lagyan ang balde ng mainit na tubig.

I wore a white backless dress and white flat shoes. While putting on light makeup, my phone suddenly vibrated. I checked it out and saw Lucien's name on the screen. Swiftly, a smile crept into my lips.

"Hi," I answered the call.

"I miss you," nabitawan ko ang makeup brush ng marinig ang malambing niyang boses.
