Love Story of Best Friend [Complete]

Chapter 6: Unrequited Love

After that, bumalik yung communication namin. We started hanging out again, pag may oras tapos he’d call me up just to say hi and yun. Naging close ulit kami. So masaya na ako dun. Tapos at least once a week, we’d go out to dinner and watch some movies.

I was working late at the hospital one night. When I was about to go, someone paged me and I ran as fast as I can. When I got there, I saw him standing with my favorite chocolates in hand. I was like, “What’s going on? Everything okay?” nagpanic kasi ako eh, siguro kasi ganun ang reaction ko pag nasa hospital.

“Nothing. I just wanted to see if your okay.” he said.

“Oh, I’m a mess, I’ve been running around all day and I still haven’t eaten. What’s the chocolate for?”

“Oh, this? I thought you’d like some. I know it’s your pick-me-up food.”

“Oh really? That’s so sweet. Thanks.” I said, sabay kuha sa chocolates na inabot niya.

“Are you about to get off?” he asked.

“Yah, actually I was about to go home, when someone paged me.” sabi ko na medyo nagpaparinig.

“Oh really? Well I was just wonderin'…”

“Hey hon, ready to go?” singit ng isa sa mga doctors sa hospital, kaya Pare never got to finish his sentence.

“Yah, hon in a moment.” I said na medyo kinakabahan kasi sobrang awkward nung moment na yun.

When pare saw doc, there was some kind of disappointment in his face na I can’t explain. Kaya I don’t know if I should introduce them to each other. I opted not to. Kasi masyado ako nagpanic. And to think, na my job is about not panicking. Anyways, wala na ring chance, kasi doc just gave me and pare a smile and head off to the parking lot na.

“Uhmm, ano ulit ung sinasabi mo you were gonna ask me something diba?” sabi ko na medyo ilang pa rin.

“Ah, yun wala yun. Uhmm, hon?!” sabi niya, obviously referring to doc. Hindi na ko nakasagot kasi may phone rang, for sure si doc yun.

“Uhmm, sige una na ko. See you later okay?” sabi ko na medyo ilang pa din.
