Keren's POV
" Dr.Keren Park, dahan-dahan Lang sa pag subo!" Erika shouted at me. " Don't tell me the great and over confident Dr. Keren Park is having her nervous attack?! She said it in a teasing way. I can't talk to her because I'm murdering my salad. I stopped and glared at her..
"OK!" She raised her hand in surrender.
Girl, it's been 5 years since you last saw him But I can still sense spark and love is in the air!!""Erika! Don't you dare. Gurl, tigilan mo nga ako? Kung nakita mo Lang mukha niya kanina. If looks could kill, kanina pa ako namatay. Girl, I think he still hates me. But, I could not blame him." I sighed. I admit it he really changed... Hindi na sya si Ric Han na nakilala at mina----" I stopped and shut my mouth.
"Keren, I believe in Destiny and second chances, you know. I think yours and him story has not yet ended." Erika said it in a dreamy tone.
"Erie, please stop it. The me and him is already over 5 years ago."
"Hmm, really? Is it really over Keren?"
"Yeah, we are over Erie, what we have now is business relationship. No strings attached." I gave her my killer smile.
"I know you, Dr.Keren Park, though you save others with the broken heart because you are a famous surgeon in the planet but only the great surgeon Dr. Ric Han can only mend your broken heart--"
"Erie, when will you stop teasing me. And don't you dare act like a lady cupid. Besides, he is not a surgeon now..Isa na syang successful Atty. and CEO." I glared at her.
"Okay! I got it you know, let's go! I still have to meet up some clients for the launching. And you are invited. Your presence is a must! You are in the VIP. No excuses. "
"Erie, let me think about it. Maybe I have surgery that time. Or I will go to the orphanage. I also need to organize the charity ball." I cringed thinking of the schedules. Oh, ayoko ng nasa spotlight. . I rather feed and cure sick children but not socializing with this elite, that is my parents kind of thing. And ugh! Paparazzi are everywhere.
"Keren Park, don't you dare change your mind. I will drag you out from the operating room and I'll do a surgery on you myself!"
---------------------
Whoa! What a day! Oh my back aches! Maybe I need to swim. I drive my Buggati Veyron going to sports complex. I need to release all muscle tension.
"Hey, handsome, how are you?" I greeted my brother-like friend- Dan.
"Hey, beautiful, I'm glad you still remember to drop by." He said it pouting.
I ran to him and hugged him tight. "I need to release some muscle tension. How about a challenge, my dear?" I told Dan.
"Yes, cool! If I beat you, you will go out with me, Ok? As in date with me?" He gave me a wink!I gave him my Chesire cat smile as for agreement. Dan is like a brother to me pero ayaw niyang tanggapin na hindi mag level up ang pag tingin ko sa kanya. I just shook my head. Ayoko mag isip.
I went in to the restroom to change to my Speedo swim wear. Dan and I are standing at the diving board. Ready set Go! We dive after the bang!I was so happy to do 8 lapses. I beat Dan for 8 mins. Kaya I hugged Dan dahil sa tuwa. He smirked. "Ganyan ka talaga ka saya? Dahil hindi mo ako maka date, Dr. Park?" Parang batang nagtampo.
Babatokan ko sana sya but Nagulat ako ng makita ko na hindi lang pala kami ang tao sa sports complex. They are the new members of the sports complex.
At malakas Ang kabog ng dibdib ko ng makita ko siya....wearing only his swimming trunks. Si Ric!Lumapit si Dan Kay Ric. "Hello, Atty., you should beat the time huh! By the way, I'll introduce you to my dear Keren." Nagulat ako ng hawakan ako sa balikat ni Dan and introduce us. "Atty. Ric Han, this is Dr. Keren Park. Dr. Keren this is Atty.Ric. He is also a regular member here." Ric extended his hand and I took it and shake his hand but dali-dali kong binawi kasi para akong na kuryente. He gave his trademark smirk. I did not say anything. Natameme ako at nag init mukha ko.
Pinagalitan ko sarili ko! I felt like an idiot in front of him. Nag blush pa ako. Chill ka Lang, Keren! Okay? I immediately took my towel and run to the shower room. What?! I'm blushing in front of him. And even my ears are red.
Why the smirk again, Ric? So you are so happy to see me flustered. And Atty? Huh! I sighed! If only I could turn back time. I am talking to the mirror.
Flashback 5 years ago
I met Ric in one of the hospitals they owned. He was the Chief of Surgeons. I had my residency there before he became the head. My identity as an heiress of Park and Co. Airlines was not revealed. I was so carefree doing my passion. Not until the arranged marriage our parents were planning for the benefit of their empire. I was oblivious with our parents plan. Not until we are set up for an engagement dinner. And our parents were planning. I was so silent the whole time. I look at Ric as he sat across mine, he looks uninterested and even give me a smirk when he caught me looking at him. Our marriage is like a business to them. I was so upset. I have feelings here. I believe in True Love. It should be the foundation of every marriage. I don't want to show my disappointment to my parents. So I excused myself. I went to the restroom. Sinundan ako ni Ric.
"Keren, alam ko that this must be a shock to you. But, let's say this is our fate. Don't worry I don't also give a damn about this marriage thing. I also wanted to be free. I don't believe in one woman man for life, you know. Hmm, let's say, let's get married and stay married in papers. No strings attached." He said it coldly.
My eyes opened wide like a saucer. I didn't expect this to happen. And those words from his mouth.
"Well, Ric, kung ganyan ka kababaw huwag mo akong itulad sayo! I said it and I'm teary eyed."Okay, fine, ganito na lang let's agree with our parents na maging engaged and about getting married, let's prolong it until they will realize that marriage is not for us. How is that? We can have a contract for that." He smirked.
"You mean let's pretend that we agree with them?" I asked. I'm getting more confused.. I felt dizzy.
"Yes! Now let's go back and let's tell them since we don't want to disappoint them."
I don't know why I agreed with him.
"Dad, Mom, Mr.Park and Mrs. Park, Keren and I had a talk. We agreed to this arrangement. But, please give us time to get to know each other. Until we decided to get married the soonest." Ric said it.
My mom and his mom nodded and his mom said "Since, you want to get to know each other is it okay that they will stay in one house?!"
My mom and dad agreed! I was so shocked.. What?! I glared at Ric who was smiling.
"Is it alright with you, anak?" My dad asked.
"Dad--" I answered awkwardly but Ric cut me off.
"Mr and Mrs. Park, I will take care of her. Don't worry I will not take advantage of her." He said and winked at me.
Flashback ended when I heard a loud knock in the shower room door.
I unlocked the door and opened it. The Unexpected happened.
