OVER AND OVER AGAIN (LBS#1)

Chapter 25

Lumabas ako ng aking sasakyan, looking so confident with my choice of outfit for today.
I'm wearing a red sleeveless dress paired with a white high heels.

I confidently walked inside the hospital and cleared my throat when I reached the security guard's table. The security guard (maybe in mid-30's) looked up to me and smiled.
"Yes po, Ma'am? May hinahanap po ba kayo?" He attentively asked me.

"Bago na ba lahat ng security guards?" Kasi mukhang wala na si Manong Guard na siyang kaibigan ko, eh.

The security guard nodded his head.
"Yes po."

"Okay. Thank you," I said before entering the hospital.

Some noticed me at para bang naka kita sila ng multo.
I mentally rolled my eyes as I confidently walked with a class.
Na-remember ko pa naman kung saan kami nagme-meeting noon, eh. Right now, we should be in a conference room. People here are not aware of me coming here today.

I heard faint voices from the inside when I'm already in front of the Conference room's door.
It's like they are arguing about something.

Josiah told me yesterday that he's gonna meet them today and they'll be having a conference. So now, I'm here to make a show. Of course not. I'm not up for attention, but I just want their Abuelo to know that I'm not that rude to reject his offer.

I knocked thrice, making sure that even they are noisy and making some arguments inside...they will still hear the knock.
When I heard them paused from their talking, I immediately opened the door and walked in with confidence.

Gasps filled the room and some pair of eyes are now wide.
Ilang minutong hindi nakapagsalita ang mga tao habang nakatingin silang lahat sa'kin. I roamed my gaze around the room and look for someone. Pero imbes na makita ko si Josiah ay mga pamilyar na mata naman ang natingnan ko. Kunot ang noo at seryosong nakatingin sa'kin ang mga mata niya. I raised one of my brow at him and I mentally praised my bestfriend, Josiah Meneses, when he approached me with an uneasy smile on his face. Binigyan ko siya ng isang tingin na nagwa-warning at agad niya naman akong binalot ng kanyang yakap.

"Why are you wearing that kind of dress?" He whispered to my ear and I couldn't help but to pout. Agad naman siyang humiwalay sa aking katawan.

"What? There's nothing wrong about wearing this kind of dress. I'm still presentable with this one." Doon na niya ako tiningnan ng seryoso at napangisi nalang ako.

"It's too revealing." He complained. I just raised one of my eyebrows at him, silently telling him to do what he needs to do.
He reluctantly lowered his head and placed a loving kiss on my lips.
Okay. PDA. Nakita ko pa ang pag pikit niya saka siya humarap sa mga taong nasa amin lang ang mga tingin. "Good morning again everyone! I want you to meet my fiancée, Cresandria Querantine Montevista. I'm not informed that she's coming today." He told the people in this room.

I smiled at the doctors present here today in this conference room.
"I just want to be with my fiancé. I'm not really sorry for being too clingy." Ew. What the hell?

Nakita ko ang pag kagat ni Josiah sa kanyang pang-ibabang labi at para bang mamamatay na siya kakapigil sa kanyang tawa.
I nudged him on his side.

"Correct me if I'm wrong but, you are Mrs. Lancaster, right?" The whole room went silent and I'm sure that my cheeks are burning red right now.

What the fuck?

Awkward naman akong napangiti. Hindi ko na ma-achieve ang isang magandang ngiti dahil sa tinanong ng isang doktor na hindi naman pamilyar sa akin.
"Uh, ex-Mrs. Lancaster." Sabi ko saka napahinga ng malalim para maka kuha ng sapat na lakas na loob.
"We're already separated and just waiting for the legal process of our Divorce to be done." Sigurado kong sabi, kahit na alam kong hindi mangyayari 'yon dahil sa ka demonyohan ng lalakeng ngayon ay ngingisi-ngisi.
