Chapter 18

Wait

"Good Morning," Renaissa greeted with a happy smile lit on her face as soon as I stepped in on the right floor.

"Good morning," I awkwardly greeted back and looked away. I had to look away because I'm pretty sure that my face is red as roses right now.

I can't believe that he would say such a thing. He's really weird right now and it doesn't seem right. He's not Reeve. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang nakain niya para umakto ng ganito.

And what I hate the most is how my heart reacts. . . I shouldn't feel this way cause it doesn't seem right for myself either.

It is bad and not good. He shouldn't tell me those things and set my high hopes up.

Renaissa noticed my action and observed me, "What happened to your face? Why are you blushing?" she suspiciously eyed me.

I didn't bother looking at her it pretends to scan on my notes. "Blushing? It must have been my cheek blush," I denied still not looking at her.

I don't dare to tell her what happened. I'm pretty sure that she would just tease me about it. I cannot believe that I did that and it is so fucking embarrassing!

Nagmukha akong tanga sa harap niya!

Why would I ask that stupid question just because he told me sweet things.

She didn't bother asking me anymore as I felt another presence standing beside me. Perfume pa lang alam ko na kung sino agad ang tumabi sa akin.

I swallowed hard and pretend that something didn't happen earlier.

"Good morning, Renaissa," he greeted my friend. His voice has also an effect on me. Hindi naman ako ganito sa kaniya no'n pero ngayon ayaw nang makisama sa akin ng isip at puso ko?!

Are they betraying me?!

"Good morning, Kyzyr," my friend greeted back then she walked away leaving me with Reeve.

Kung nasa normal lang na araw 'to ngayon okay na iniwan niya ako. But now? I don't want to be with the same spot on him right now because I will always remember what I did!

"What are you doing?" Reeve asked me casually as if nothing happened earlier.

Wow. He pretends like I didn't ask him a stupid question earlier. He's good at pretending huh.

I composed myself and look at him to answer, "I was scanning my patient medical history." His expressions were already back to normal and the way he acts towards me seems also normal.

It's good, right? Para hindi na rin akong magmukhang tanga sa harap niya. We'll just pretend like I didn't ask that stupid question.

My expectation leads to disappointment. I was hoping but my hope disappointed me.

This is why I don't hope when my heart is already involved. Umasa na ako no'n tapos sakit lang ang nakuha ko.

Even when the slightest chance of hope, I still hope. . .when I know that there's no hope at all.

That is why I don't hope anymore kung puso ko na ang pag-uusapan. Pero bakit kanina umaasa ako? Umaasa ako na ganoon ang sasabihin niya sa akin.

Our clinical instructor assigned to us the patient already. I was scanning through it so that I would know the diagnosis and what am I supposed to do when the doctor would seek assistance.

Hindi pa rin ako makatingin sa kaniya kaya mas tinoon ko ang attention sa chart ng pasyente na naka-assigned sa akin.

But my mind cannot focus because of the scene that happened in the elevator keeps on replaying on my mind.
