Ara stilled for a bit before replying.

"No problem, sige, kumain ka na," anito sabay ngiti.

"Sabayan mo na ako," ani Chase, di na nagsalita si Ara ay umupo na sa upuan pagkatapos ilapag ang mga pagkain sa hapag-kainan.

Habang nasa kalagitnaan ng pagkain nagsalita si Ara.

"Hindi mo na dapat binayaran ang pagpapaayos ng sasakyan ko," ani Ara.

"It's nothing, tsaka, you paid for the hospital bill, so let's call it even," sagot naman sakanya ni Chase.

Napailing naman ng saglit si Ara na may kaunting ngiti sa labi.

They continued eating when Ara remembered something and tried asking Chase about it.

"Hey Chase?",

Chase stopped eating and looked at her "hm?"

"Does Collin have a girlfriend already?", halata sa mukha ni Chase ang na marami siyang tanong.

"Huh? Bakit mo naman yan natanong?", tanong naman ni Chase pabalik.

Sinagutan lang siya Ara ng kibit-balikat "wala lang, random question, sige eat then take your meds,"

Habang kumakain, tumunog ang cellphone ni Ara at tinignan niya kung sino ang nagtext, it was Jo, her secretary.

Good afternoon po Doc, Ma'am Yra asked me to inform you that she will be here tomorrow already.

Nagulat naman si Ara at nagreply na lamang ng salamat bago ibaba ang telepono.

"Dadating na bukas si Yra," Ara shares after quite a moment.

Tumango-tango naman si Chase.

"And the week after next week, I'll be at the emergency room again," dagdag nito.

"So that means I won't see you again?", tinignan naman siya ni Chase habang tinatanong iyon sa malungkot ang tono.

Ara chuckled a bit, "sira, I'll still be in the Philippines, bakit mo naman ako hindi makikita? The right term is; hindi mo na ako makakatrabaho," ani Ara.

"But I am your doctor, and I will monitor you from time to time," at sa sinabi ni Ara si Chase naman ang natawa.

"Sus, gusto mo lang ako makita eh," panunukso ni Chase, at nagtawanan naman sila.

"Next week though, you're my date," ani Chase pagkatapos humupa ang kanilang mga tawa.

"Y-yeah, I remember,"

"Where will you be heading after this?", tanong ni Chase, he was talking about after visiting him.

"Ewan ko, to the site? Hospital? I don't really know," totoo naman, hindi naman talaga alam ni Ara saan siya pupunta pagkatapos nito.

Natahimik naman si Chase ay nakita ni Ara na tapos na ito kumain.

Tumayo si Ara dahil kukunin niya sana ang gamot ni Chase habang sinasabing "take you med—"

"Stay here," halos lumabas ang puso ni Ara mula sakanyang katawan sa sinabi ni Chase ng biglaan.

She was so stunned by his words.

She inhaled, then exhaled before talking again.

"A-anong sabi mo?", nauutal na tanong ni Ara umupo ulit sa kinauupuan kanina, pero hawak hawak na ang gamot na iinumin ni Chase.

Kinuha iyon ni Chase mula sakanyang kamay at ininom.

"I said, stay here," he firmly said, heart keep calm!

"I need my doctor," dagdag pa nito, her knees are weak!

She doesn't know what she should reply!

Ara was going to turn down his offer when she realized that Chase didn't ate and drank his medications when she wasn't here, so maybe if she stayed it will result to Chase's fast recovery.

"Only if you promise to eat properly and drink your medicines as prescribed," ani Ara na tinaas kaunti ang kanang kilay.

Sinagutan naman siya ng pilyong ngiti ng binata.

"Only if you promise to stay," anito.

This man is a helpless case, wala na siyang magagawa dito!

Still keeping her smile, Ara rolled her eyes.

"Sige na nga," anito na may kaunting tawa.
