In Love Series 1: Madly

Kabanata 26

I let out a heavy breath as I closed the door of Kuya Gaston's room. I closed my eyes tight in the hopes it will calm my raging heart.

Kalma lang tayo, self. We can do this. Mag uusap lang kayo.

I walked with my trembling knees on the quiet hallway of the hospital. Thinking what words I'm going to say to him. This is my first chance and probably my last chance too. Or maybe, hindi naman talaga siya sumunod sa akin dahil baka ayaw niya akong kausap. And besides, his fiancée is here, guarding him with all her might.

Akala naman ni Maxine, aagawan ko siya. Masakit mang tanggapin, iyon na lang yata ang magagawa ko. Accept that Isagani is getting married with Maxine. Masakit mang tanggapin, I need to. I respect their relationship. Isang bagay na hindi kailanman naibigay sa akin ni Maxine noon. Isang bagay na hiniling kong ibigay niya sa akin noon pero hindi niya ginawa.

I'm not a relationship stealer. And I will never be.

Ang ganda ko namang mang-aagaw. Hindi gawain ng katulad kong dyosa ang mang-agaw ng jowa ng iba. That's yucky.

I reached my office still thinking what am I going to say if ever Isagani follow me here. Natalia was still sitting on her table probably waiting for me.

"Ang bilis mo naman," nakakunot niyang sabi.

"Mamaya mo na ako kausapin, Natalia. Ipaghanda mo na lang ako ng isang basong tubig."

"Ha? Aanhin mo?" she asked. Aba'y inaano ba ang tubig? Kinakain?

"Malamang ibubuhos ko sa'yo!" bwiset din itong si Natalia! "Bilisan mo!"

"Ito na nga e!" she quickly moved to get me a glass of water. I secretly peeked at the door. Inaalam kung sumunod si Isagani sa akin.

Halos lumuwa ang mga mata ko nang makitang seryoso nga siyang naglalakad papunta sa direksyon ng opisina ko! Oh my gosh!

"Ito na ang tubig mahal na dyosa," she mocked at me. "Aanhin mo ba talaga 'yan?"

"Gaga ka! Mag uusap kami ni Isagani!" I said a bit in panic when I saw a shadow on the door of my office. Good goddess, guide me as I'm going to talk to the king of kasungitan!

"Talaga!? Oh my gosh! Exit na ba ako?" ipinatong niya ang baso sa lamesa ko at kunwaring nag ayos ng mga gamit sa mesa niya.

We heard a knock on the door. Nanlaki agad ang mga mata naming dalawa. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ganito ang reaksiyon ko gayong ako naman ang nagyaya ng usapang ito. Maybe because I wasn't expecting he will really followed me!

"Ako na ang magbubukas," Natalia whispered. I consecutively nodded my head at her.

"Ay hello, Mr Isagani! Ano pong ginagawa niyo po dito?" asked the gagang maasar when she opened the door.

"The Doctora wants to talk to me," he simply said addressing me in the most formal way.

"Sige pasok ka, Mr Isagani," Natalia opened the door widely and grinned at me. "Maiwan ko muna kayong dalawa. Galingan nyiong mag-usap ha? Tapos ninang ako."
