Everything has Changed

Chapter 9

I am here in our shop today since tapos na ang review ko. But still, I have to review all the things that could possibly seen in the exam.

I was busy serving some other customers when someone called me. So, I left my works to Maecy since that was actually her job.

"Oh, hi! Yes?"

"I'm sorry to disturb you. But just want to say that I can't go there. I have so many patients. Ah, can you drop by here in the hospital? I don't have much time to go there. I'm sorry!"

"Oh, yeah I can. But maybe I can drop by at 7 pm? I'm at work right now. I'll just text you kapag nandyan na ko."

"Oh thank you so much! Sorry sa abala. Baba ko na yung phone. Sorry. Bye!"

I was so kind, really? I have so much things on my plates. But still I don't want to keep the wallet for so long since I know that he needs it. Gosh.

I just helped at the shops until 5 pm. And back at reviewing until 7pm. Nung matapos akong magreview, I immediately get my bag.

"Uuwi ka na po ma'am?" that was Kaye, our barista.

"Oh no, may pupuntahan lang saglit. I'll be back later."

"Ingat po ma'am!"

"Thank you!"

Nagmamadali akong nilakad yung hospital since walking distance lang naman.

When I enter, napasabunot ako sa buhok ko dahil hindi ko alam kung saan ko sya pupuntahan dahil hospital lang naman ang usapan namin. Tinext ko na lang sya to tell him that I am in front of the hospital's entrance.

I wait for him to reply. Gosh! Ang bait-bait ko na. Why am I doing this to a stranger?

Him: I'm here at the surgery department. 6th floor. I can't go downstairs.

Napairap na lang ako and nag-elevator to go there.

Lumapit ako sa isang nurse to asked where he is. Sinabi naman nya kung nasaan but she rolled her eyes after that. Anong mali sa pagtatanong? Bat napapalibutan ata ako ng mga maarte. Jusko!

"Hey, I'm really sorry."

Lumapit sya sakin nung nakita nya ako sa labas ng isang private room since dito naman ako tinuro. He is talking to a patient when I saw him.

"Okay lang. By the way eto na wallet mo." Inabot ko sa kanya yung wallet nya pero binawi ko din ng may maalala ako.

"Wait!" I get a 1k cash inside his wallet at binigay ko sa kanya pabalik yung wallet nya.

"What was that for?"

"Excuse me? Wala ng libre ngayon. Pinagod mo kong maglakad papunta dito, noh. Tapos nagload pa ko para sayo. Dapat lang na bayaran mo ko."

Tinago ko na agad sa bag ko yung pera habang sya ay di parin makapaniwala. Anong sa tingin nya, may libre pa sa panahong 'to? Wala na dude.

"Thank you, ha?" He said that in a sarcastic way.

"You're welcome!" I smiled at him widely just to teased him.

"Tch."

"Sige na aalis na ko. Iniistorbo mo ko nagrereview ako. Bye!" Palakad na sana ako paalis ng pigilan nya ako.

"Hatid na kita."

"Ano?"

"Hatid na kita baka singilin mo na naman yang paglakad mo. Tss." Pumunta sya sa office nya para kuhanin ang susi nya.

Nang makabalik sya ay nag-elevator na kami pababa. Nang makalabas kami sa elevator ay pinagtitinginan na kami ng mga nurse. Nakita ko pa nga kung paano nila ako tarayan at irapan. Di ko naman inaano.

We go to the parking lot at kinuha ang kotse nya.

"Seryoso ka? Magkokotse pa? Pwede namang lakarin. Arte mo."

"Kaya nga magkokotse para di ka naniningil. Kawawa naman mga paa mo. Mukhang mahal pa naman."

Inirapan ko sya dahil halata naman na nang-aasar sya.

Sumakay na ako sa kotse nya at hinatid nya ko sa may shop. Mabilis lang naman kaming nakarating dahil malapit lang naman talaga.

Bumaba ako sa kotse nya pero laking gulat ko ng bumaba rin sya.

"Oh di ka pa babalik?"

"Hindi pa. Ililibre mo ko ng kape since mahal ang gas ko." tinawanan nya ako at dire-diretsong pumasok sa shop.

What the hell? Ang bilis mo talaga karma.

Nang makapasok ako sa loob ay nakaupo na sya sa isa sa mga chairs kaya lumapit ako kay Maecy to ask if he has an order na or wala pa. But to my surprise, he really had an order to Maecy.

"Sabi nga po nya Ma'am libre nyo daw po. Taray may pa free taste!" She giggled for a while and continue doing her job.

Lumapit ako sa barista namin to get his coffee because I will serve it to him.

"Here's your coffee. Kakahiya naman sayo. Binawi mo rin yung kinuha ko." I rolled my eyes and sit in front of him.

"Excuse me ang laki kaya ng tubo mo."

Hindi ko na lang sya pinansin at iniwan na lang sya. Bahala sya dyan. Wala namang free entertainment dito. Tsaka di naman sya special para i-entertain. Hmp!

I helped Maecy with her job just to calm myself from annoyance.

Naglilinis ako ng table ng lumapit sya sakin.

"What?" I asked him while my eyes are still on the table.

"I'll leave now. Thanks for giving my wallet back."

Hindi ko na sya sana papansinin ng makita kong nakatayo pa rin sya sa harap ko.

"What? You can leave now. Shoo!" I waved my hand na parang nagtataboy lang ako ng aso sa daan pero hindi pa rin sya umaalis.

"Tss. Bye thanks for the coffee. Keep the change!" He waved his hand at me at dire-diretsong umalis sa shop.

What the hell? Keep the change eh hindi nga nagbayad? Kapal ng mukha.
