Made For Him

Chapter 27

Vanessa Jasmine's

"Please." I said to Mrs. De Guzman. Bumuntong hininga ito at sinapo ang ulo. "Okay. But this will not be my fault if something happen. This will be the last and first, Ms. Aravalo." Tinanguan ko ito. Medyo lumuwang ang pakiramdam ko sa pagsang-ayon nito.

This news is unexpected. I'm torn between telling him or not. I'm afraid on the consequences of this choices and decisions I have made. But my first priority is about Rio. I should convince him first. Aalamin ko muna ang lahat bago ko sabihin ang nangyayari saakin.

I want to know first the reasons why he kidnapped me. The reason for my mom to let him have me. Nakakaramdam ako ng galit sa tuwing iniisip kong pinagkakaisahan nila ako. Pero nandito na ako, hindi na dapat ako umatras sa desisyong pinili ko o nila.

Bahagya akong napaigtad ng biglang bumukas ang pinto. Rio peeked in his head before completely went inside. Binigyan ako nito ng isang nagtatakang tingin bago umupo sa tabi ko.

Oblivious to what me and the doctor talked about. He smiled at me then turned to the doctor with a poker face.

"Do we need medicines for her?" Rio asked. Mrs. De Guzman gaze at me before answering Rio. I started to rub my middle finger's nail to my thumb. I feel nervous.

"Yes, I'll prescribe medicine that are approriate for her. Please take it according to what day and how many times she should take it. I'll also add some vitamins and supplement. Be careful and be mindful of everything you do for her. As for you Ms. Aravalo, take care of your body. Avoid getting stressed and excessive movements. Lastly, treat her with gentle, Mr. Adler." I paled. My hands start to tremble but I managed to hide it by clasping both of my hands in my thigh. I am not really good at this.

"Yes, I'll do it. Thank you." Rio nodded his head. Tumango lang rin ako dito. Mrs. De Guzman again gazes at me before writing the prescribe medicines.

Rio turned to me and held my hand. Kahit kinakabahan ay sinandal ko ang ulo ko sa balikat niya. I suddenly feel drained on everything that is happening. I hope everything will be fine.

"Are you ok? Masakit pa rin ba?" Pabulong na sabi saakin ni Rio. He tucked in my hair behind my ears while giving a glance at my face. Umiling ako rito at umayos ng upo.

"Here." Mrs. De Guzman said. Inabot ni Rio and papel na binigay nito. "Thanks, Doc." He said then gently pulled me up.

She nodded at us before we take our leave. Rio held my hands while we walked side by side. My eyes never leaving the ground.

"May sinabi pa ba si Doc maliban sa allergies mo? I think she was saying something before I took the call earlier." He suddenly spoke.

Ramdam ko ang kabog ng dibdib ko pero nilakasan ko ang loob na sagutin ang tanong nito.

"N-nothing. She just reminded me to be careful on what I eat and things." Nakayukong sagot ko rito.

Hindi ko kayang salubungin ang mga mata nito. I can't let him know about this. I can't let him suspect something but I knew, I'll be doomed for lying. I'm being irrational for hiding this.

"Sweetheart, please look ahead of you." Agad-agad kong iniangat ang tingin ko sa dinaraanan. Rinig ko ang pagbuntong-hininga nito at inilipat ang kamay sa bewang ko. 

Nang makarating kami sa parking lot ay agad nitong pinatunog ang sasakyan. He open the door and let me hop inside. He put the seatbelt on. Akala ko ay isasara na nito ang pinto pero bigla itong nag-squat sa labas ng sasakyan at hinawakan ang kamay ko. Nanlalaki ang matang tinitigan ko ito.

"Anong ginagawa mo?" Mahinang boses kong tanong. Sinagot ako nito ng isang tanong.

"Is something bothering you?" He gently asked. Bahagya kong inilibot ang mata sa parking lot na kinalalagyan namin. Baka ay may nakakakita sa ginagawa niya, baka ano na lng sabihin nila. Ibinalik ko ang tingin ko rito. He look lost and pleading.
