Ricci Rivero, MD

18

"Dr. Larazabal." I bowed and smiled as a response habag naglalakad ako patungo sa office ko wearing my white coat and a dress under the coat.

May bagong dadating na fellow doctor of mine. I don't know anything about this person.

When I heard that Rivero's marrying her. I stopped hoping that we still have a chance.

Instead of thinking about it, I studied for my specialization. Sabay kaming nag aral ni Donny at sabay naming tinapos ito.

Now we're general surgeons already.

"Dr. Larazabal hinanap ka ni Dr. Pangilinan kanina." I just nodded.

I bet he's gonna talk about his crush. Kung maka crush akala mo teenager pa kami. 

"Ano?" I asked over the line.

"Where are you?" Donny asked.

"Miss mo na ako?" teasing him

"I just want to let you know that the new fellow is very close to you. He's from IM so ingatan mo puso mo ha baka hindi pa yan naka move-on." Alam ko na kung sino.

It's Dr. Ricci Paolo Rivero.

"Shut up. Its been years how can I not move-on and please wag ka issue noh. He's marrying someone already or maybe married at all." I rolled my eyes at him kahit hindi niya ito nakikita.

At binabaan ako ng gago.

"Sorry I hung up." there you go Dr. Pangilinan wearing his white coat and white long sleeves below the coat with 3 buttons open and inserted in a black slacks.

Ang hot naman.

Agad ako tumingin sa ibang direction.

At napamura nalang ako sa isipan ko.

There I saw Ricci Rivero walking wearing black long sleeves opening 3 buttons makikita mo yung cross na gold necklace nya and a pair of black slacks with the side bag na mukhang envelope but it's not. May hawak pa itong kape.

Akin sana yan eh.

When I look at  donny again I saw him laughing.

"Ikaw pag di mo ko titiigilan. Sasapakin na talaga kita." I eyed him.

"Sige nga sapakin mo ko." Pang hamon nya.

"Dr. Larazabal." kinuha agad ni Rivero yung attention ko. Boses palang alam ko na.

"Dr. Rivero."

"Nice to meet you, again." tumango ako at ngumiti. Masaya na ako.

Masaya na kami kahit hindi natapos sa kasalan yung mayroon kami dati and I think that's beautiful.

Happiness, genuine happiness is what we need in life. Not the material things but sometimes the people you are surrounded with. But most of the time, inner peace. Pag alam mong masaya na yung sarili mo. Sakto na yun.

"Nice to meet you, too." saad ko.

"Ricci Rivero nga pala, bro."

"Donny Pangilinan." At nag handshake na silang dalawa.

Wow, bromance.

"So you've met?" Bungad samin ng Director sa Hospital.

"Yes sir." sagot ko.

"Now you will work as fellow doctors. You will work together during operations since both of you are good at this. Welcome back, Rivero." pagbati ni Dr. Uy.

Pagkatapos non ay umalis na kami.

"Welcome back?" curious ako eh.

"You're interested?" I death glared him.

"Oh you're not pala." He added.

Umiling nalang ako.

"Nvm. Just want to welcome you and I'm looking forward to work with you, Dr. Rivero." I bowed once again at naglakad na paalis kasabay si Donny. 

"Akilia." tawag ni Rivero sakin. Tinignan ko ito ulit. 

"I told you before, don't ask unless you're interested." He smiled at me using his sexy smile.

"See you around." At agad na itong naglakad palayo sakin. 

I heard Donny chuckled at nagsimula na itong mag lakad kaya I jog a little bit at hinampas ko yung braso nya. 

And you Rivero, 

Fuck you.
