The Return Of The Wife {Book 2}

Chapter 44

*Calla's P.O.V*

After that long magical kiss, we were lost for words. We just stayed there and held each other gazes. . .

That was until a nurse knocked on the door and we panicked and I ended up pushing Ash which made him lose balance and stumble onto the sofa. He gave a side glare to the nurse but her head was hanging low for her to even notice it.

"M-may naghahanap po sainyo, m-ma'am Calla" nauutal niyang sabi. I gave her a questioning look so she continued "Mahigpit na pinagbabawal ang sinuman ang papasok sa silid na ito sapagkat nagkakagulo na po sa labas kaya nagpapasiya ako na iparating sainyo ang balita"

"Sino siya? Ano pangalan niya?" tanong ko

"Si sir Ivan Mateo Lessandro po"

Eventually everything was so fast, it was blurry. The nurse left after hearing Ashton's low growl and it took ages for me to convince him that it's gonna be okay- di naman kasi kami nagliligawan ni Ivan, friends lang kami. With stern expression, pumayag naman siya but sooner, he gave me a pouty look- but I won't fall for it.

Nandito na ko sa benches sa labas ng hospital room ko, medyo madaming tao ang naglalakad through these halls kaya wala kaming peace of mind. Even though Ivan insisted us to go down to the garden, Ash strictly said nowhere futher than 16 meters from my room.

"Napadalaw ka?" Tanong ko puno ng curiosidad.

"Heard about you, I was really worried"

"Heard? Kanino?" I saw him gulped but he then smiled

"From your friends." He looked really suspicious.

My friends didn't know I'm here, kundi sila unang una ko makikita sa paggising ko. I know them, they won't leave my side if they knew. But I didn't push him, in fact, sinabayan ko nalang.

"So you're friends with Agatha and Bernie" I decided to come up with names to see his reaction and as I expected, he smiled and nodded.

I was dumbfounded.

"Sige, Ivan, may sasabihin ka pa? I'm kinda tired, I want to take a rest." Pagkukunwari ko.

"I would like to ask another date with you."

"Date?" Tumango siya.

"Ivan, we're just friends, right?"

"Ofcourse, it's a friendly date. Although if you would want it romantic-" I cut him off

"No, ok. Text nalang kita pag nakalabas na ko sa hospital na 'to."

"Sure. San mo gusto gaganapin yung date natin? Para maka-reserve na ko or gusto mo surprise?"

"No, Ivan. Ako magsesetup kung san tayo pupunta." Giit ko.

"Exciting." he smiled.

***

"Date?" Kanina pa ko kinukulit ni Ash tungkol sa pinagusapan namin ni Ivan kanina.

Turns out nakikinig pala si Ash saamin pero pinaulit ulit niya pa saakin lahat ng pinagusapan namin ni Ivan.

"Yes, Ash. A friendly date." He scrunched his nose as sign of annoyance.

"There's no such thing"

"Yes, there is."

"No."

"Yes."
