Made In New York (Monterèal Series #1 Book 1 )

Chapter 22

Does she know?

The conference was stressful than the usual, ang complicated ng kondisyon ng pasyente namin. It was way past midnight, one am na nang matapos ang conference. I could've slept in nearby hotels but I chose to go home, I'm sure you know why.

She sounds so disappointed sa phone call kanina. Hindi ko siya magawang tawagan cause' I have to focus on the case that we'll handle. I want to call her but it's way past her sleeping time which is 11 pm.

I can imagine her making class records, lesson plans, quizzes and reports. Did she ate her dinner?

" Theo! " lumingon ako sa nagtawag saakin at napahinto sa paglalakad papunta sa sasakyan.

Hinawakan niya ako sa braso
" You're going? " she asked.

Tinanggal ko ang pagkakahawak niya. I know I'll be dead once Sapph learns about this.

" Yes, and please, Uresia; keep distance I have a girlfriend "

You heard it right, It's Uresia Wilson. She still followed me all the way. I left her in the parking lot and continued on my bay.

Nagdrive ako papuntang ML. It's a bit foggy, marami pa rin tao sa labas. It's not something different though, New York is a city that never sleeps.

I opened our unit using passcode.
Nadatnan kong nakapatay na ang ilaw sa living room and dim lights nalang ang nakasindi pero naabutan ko si Mrs. Olive na nag-aayos sa kitchen. Why is she still awake?

" Mrs. Olive? Why are you still awake?" tanong ko.

She was surprised to see me here dahil pagkaharap niya sa akin ay suminghap siya.

" I thought you're not coming home? "

" I have to see Sapph " sagot ko.

Umiling si Mrs. Olive
" What's the matter? " I asked

" I tell you, Sapph was in her tantrums again and she didn't ate her dinner " she said.

Nasapo ko ang noo ko, here we go again, she's being stubborn and when she's stubborn, It means nagtatampo siya.
" Where is she? "  tanong ko.

She pointed our room " She slept early "

Our room. I smiled inwardly. I remember the days when we used to have separate rooms, one night, she told me she saw someone in her room that's why she transferred in my room and made it our room.

I head to our room and why the heck it was locked? Oh, nagtatampo pala siya.

" Mrs. Olive! Give me the keys! " tawag ko sakanya.

Lumapit siya na dala-dala ng susi ng kwarto namin. She was frantic, I think she knows the reason why she's throwing her tantrums.

" She cooked risotto for you but you told her you can't come home " aniya.

I sighed. Sabi na 'eh. " Where is the risotto? " I asked.

She shrugged " She gave it to our neighbors " she answered before heading to her own room.

I opened our room and she's sleeping peacefully, nakabalot siya sa comforter. Tumabi ako sakanya sa paghiga at niyakap siya mula sa likod. I placed my head on her neck.
