See You Someday [ON-GOING]

happy valentines

"Bakit ganyan ayos mo, bessy? Bakit parang mukha kang bagong gising?" JC skeptically asked Grace. He made a visit on Ivan now that he has a free time from his duty schedule.

"Ha?" Nagkatinginan si Grace at si Ivan. "Ahh, talaga? H-Hayaan mo na. Ganito lang talaga ko hindi na gumanda." Palusot ni Grace. She was just about to go home when JC suddenly came. She couldn't tell him that she just slept over 'cause she knows JC would tease her endlessly.

"Thanks for this." Ivan thanked JC holding a bowl of soup.

JC giggled. "No problem."

Tumayo naman si Grace para lapitan si Ivan nang mapansing nahihirapan ito gumalaw sa pagkain. "Ivan." Kinuha niya ang sopas mula rito at kusa naman itong iniabot ni Ivan. Grace is carefully feeding Ivan nonchalantly.

"It's hot."

"Sorry. Hihihipan ko."

Nakataas ang kilay ni JC at bumilog ang bibig habang pinapanood ang dalawa. Gusto niyang umimik para mapansin ulit ng dalawa ang presensya niya pero mukhang busy na ang mga ito.

He faked a cough but it was too loud that the soup slightly spilled and Ivan almost cursed because of startlement.

"Sorry." Bumungisngis ito.

The door suddenly opened and there is Syd who looks very worried. She was upset because she didn't get informed sooner about the incident. Kaya naman nang marinig mula sa katrabaho ay agad na hinanap ang room number ni Ivan.

Naabutan niya si Grace na pinupunasan ang dibdib ni Ivan dahil sa nabubong sopas ngunit hindi niya ipinakita ang inis at sa halip ay nakangiting bumati sa kanilang lahat.

"Hi!" She unwillingly greeted Grace and JC.

"Hi Dra!" Plastik namang bumati pabalik si JC.

Syd left her limited edition of Louis Vouitton on the couch and walked closer to Ivan. She intentionally pushed Grace slowly not letting Ivan see it.

"Tong babaeng to nananadya ah." Nanggigigil na bulong ni JC kay Grace ngunit sinaway lamang siya ng kaibigan.

Hindi gustong mag-isip ng masama o manghusga ni Grace sa ibang tao nang hindi niya alam ang katotohanan. Tahimik niyang tiningnan kung gaano kaganda ang babaeng doktor.

"Are you okay now?" Syd touched Ivan's cheeks.

"Yep. Thanks."

Syd frowned. "Kanina ko lang nalaman ang nangyari sa'yo kaya I'm really sorry for not visiting sooner."

"I-It's actually fine. I wasn't—"

"Sinong gumawa nito?" Umupo siya sa kama at hinawakan ang kamay ni Ivan. Grace and JC decided to just sit on the couch while watching how Syd worries about Ivan.

While Ivan, seems like he's disconcerted thinking why Syd acts like a girlfriend. He nonchalantly replied, "Just a bunch of douchebags who tried to hurt Grace." Kumurap-kurap si Syd samantalang si Grace naman ay nakatitig lamang kay Ivan na ngayon ay nakatingin sa kanya.

"Aww. Ang sweet naman non." Kinikilig na pagpaparinig ni JC kay Syd.

Saglit na hindi nakaimik si Syd. Umiwas siya ng tingin bago tumayo. "Magpagaling ka Ivan." She sweetly said. "I have to go, may inuutos pa si Daddy e." She took a step closer and bowed down. Ivan startled when Syd kissed him on the lips. She smirked kind of looking at Grace. Agad namang nakaramdam ng init ng dugo si JC kaya siniko niya ang kaibigan. "Bye." Paalam ni Syd kay Ivan. She grabbed his bag without saying goodbye to Grace and JC and left the room.
