Sin to commit (Valentine Series 1)

Chapter 26

Rehearsals come and go after that event, I was still confused with what happened with Grudence, but let it go because I know they are having a hard time too, I somehow got to know the new member, he was a kid, almost the same age as Wynea, and he was cool.

And then when I came back home, me and my family would some times take turns in taking care of Papa, it was still hard for Aurora to be around him, but as time passes by, she was almost always available to take care of him. One time when I opened Papa's door room, I heard her laughing and I know he was laughing with her because of the low sound of his chuckle. I didn't want to interrupt, so I stayed outside for a long time, I didn't want to barge in there knowing we're still not okay.

Though, the doctor still said some stuff that made us worry, we still tried to keep up a positive energy inside his room, para hindi na madagdagan ang isipin niya. Wynea had been pestering her old professor that's working here at Sevy's para mas maaral ang kondisyon ni Papa, pero wala pa rin akong naririnig mula sa kanya, lagi na lang mahina ang ganito kaya bibigyan ng ganitong gamot.

Wynea, at some point I know is really getting into Yves' nerves, na para bang iyon ang libagan niya tuwing wala siyang mahanap na sagot para kay Papa, whenever I'd visit, I'll see her with Yves in front of other workers, flirting, and I can't do anything but internally slap my forehead, because is this how a licensed doctor should act? No, that's why she is always questioned when she is asked what her profession is and she answers doctor. Like, even I wouldn't believe that shit, I'd demand an ID from her.

And as for Hiraeth, my Le Cheri, she's busy, I hate it, yes, but I don't blame her, I am busy too, so I really understand, I just wish I'll get updates, because all I receive are food trucks and powdered juice for energy, like, hello? I don't need these things, I need your attention.

But I never tell her that, I just roll my eyes when another truck comes, or another box of juice is delivered, and no, she doesn't forget to message me about eating my meals, she tells me that I should always make that my priority, eating, because even though I have a lot of time most days in a week, hindi naman maiiwasan na mag-trabaho pa rin ako, like, photoshoots and such, and I am grateful for that, for every opportunity as I rehearse for my upcoming concert.

I haven't stopped in pursuing her in coming to my concert, but every time I'll message her about it, I'll end up getting a reply the next day, but it isn't about the concert, but about me, that I should take care of myself and eat food, and to rest if I feel tired, it's sweet, but seeing the message I sent the past day being ignored is enough to give me a sour mood.

We haven't even meet in person again! The last time I saw her was before La Union, it's like she's hiding from me. When I go to her office I am always answered with Hiraeth not being available, and that she's not there, kaya pumupunta na lang ako sa ospital.

Halos lagi kong kasabay dumalaw si Wynea. At halos lagi ko sila nakikitang magbangayan ni Yves, ewan ko kung maririndi ako o matutuwa kasi nakikita kong lumalayag ang ship ko, pero dahil hindi ko nga makita ang pinsan ni Yves kaya naririndi na lang ako.

"Umalis nga kayong dalawa rito, nagpapahinga si Papa oh." masungit na sabi ko, tinatarayan ang kapatid ko.

"I'm really trying to be quite, Thebe, but your shit ass sister is throwing me to my limits." sagot naman sa akin ni Yves, hindi inaalis ang masamang tingin kay Wynea.

"Oh! Tingnan mo! You talk like you're not a professional, calling me a 'shit ass' like that, that's wrong, I can report you to your head doctor." nang-aakusa na sabi ng kapatid ko, tinuturo pa si Yves, kingina.

"Duh, I'm the head of this hospital, you jerk." Yves then rolled her eyes at my sister.

"Weh, sa'n ang head?" Langya talaga.
