Gab's Beautiful Nurse

Chapter 40

"H-Hello?" Kumakabog ang dibdib niya habang hinhintay ang sagot sa kabilang linya.

It was a long distance call, at wala siyang inaasahang ibang tatawag sa kaniya maliban sa..

"Hi, this is Dr. Stein." Sagot ng nasa kabilang linya.

It was his father's doctor. Humigpit ang pagkakahawak niya sa telepono. How she wished she became deaf that time so as not to hear a frightening news.

"Y-Yes." Natatakot man ay sumagot siya.

"We are very sorry, but we really tried our best to revive him but-

She ended the call right away. Her knees grew weak. She sat on her bed and was still emotionless from the shock. Alam niyang mahina na talaga ang ama niya at hndi na nito kakayanin kapag nagkaroon pa ito ng isa pang cardiac arrest. Akala niya ay nakahanda na siya, pero hindi pala. Para siyang nammanhid sa sobrang sakit at pagkabigla. She wished that she was only dreaming that she'll have to wake up soon and everything will return to what it was before.

Yes, she hated her father for abandoning her. Ni hindi niya naramdaman ang pagiging ama nito sa kaniya. And yet, nang magkaroon ito ng napakalaking probelma, bigla nalang itong nagpakita sa kaniya. He had the audacity to ask for her help. And she hated herself when she realized that she cannot continue hating her father when she met him again. She hated herself for being like a little girl who yearns for a father's love. Somehow, behind all the hate and pain she was feeling because of her father, still, she's a daughter who wanted to make her father proud. Kaya naman ginawa niya ang hiling nito. Ang makabawi sa mga Sebastian.

Biglang pumatak ang mga luha niya. Marahas niyang pinahid iyon.

"Kasalanan mong lahat ito. Hindi ako papayag na hindi ka tuluyang nawawasak!" Gigil na sabi niya habang nakakuyom ang mga kamay.

"Maniningil ako."

Fists clenched, she sweared to continue on with her plan. Yes. It was all planned. How she met Gabriel Yuan Sebastian was part of her plan. And now, she's more than eager to get what she wanted. To avenge her Dad. The soonest, the better.

"Gab bro nakikinig ka ba?" Tanong ni Kline sa nakatulala at nakangiting si Gab.

There was no answer from him.

Nasa bachelor's pad sila ni Yanku dahil mayroon itong malaking problema sa ama nito na nasa Japan, at nakasalalay dito ang kalayaan nito bilang isang magiting na chick magnet.

Kline and Yanku looked at each other. Yanku grabbed an empty plastic bottle and smacked it on Gab's head.

Still, no reaction from Gab. He looked like a total idiot completely spaced out while smiling. His whole being is so busy reminiscing the moment when Francine rewarded him with a surprise sexy act inside his car. Even his mom, Ysa, and Ash noticed that he's relentlessly smiling all the time.

"Gab bro ano bang nangyayari sayo?" Tanong ni Yanku.

Hinampas siyang muli nito ng plastic bottle sa ulo ng ilang beses.

"Fuck! Masakit na yun ah!" Noon lang siya naka-alis sa pantasya niya at inagaw ang plastic bottle kay Yanku at bumawi dito.

"Aray! Aray! Bakit ba kasi tulala ka? Seryoso ang usapan natin oh." Reklamo ng kaibigan niya habang hinihimas ang noo na tinamaan ng plastic bottle.

"Itigil nyo nga yan, para kayong mga bata. Gab bro, umamin ka nga, did you hit a homerun already?" Naniningkit ang mata na sabi ni Kline.

Ginantihan din niya ito ng matalim na tingin. Wariy sumuko naman ito. Simula kasi ng mabisto niya ito na nanliligaw sa kakambal niya ay nagkaroon siya ng alas laban sa kaibigan. Aba dapat lang, kuya pa din siya ni Ysa kung tutuusin, dahil mas matanda siya ng ilang minuto dito, kaya dapat lang na sinusuyo din siya ni Kline. Boto naman siya sa kaibigan dahil alam niyang mabait ito. Ayaw lang niya ang pagiging babaero nito kaya bantay sarado ito sa kaniya. Subukan lang nitong paiyakin ang kakambal niya at malilintikan ito sa kanya.
