"Enjoy your food." he said as he served me French cuisines Bouillabaisse and a Ratatouille and to complete the meal? A Saladé Nicoise. Parang kambing naman ako nito.
"Thanks for the food," I uttered instead of complaining and digged in. He just smiled nang magsimula na akong kumain at napakasarap ng luto niya!
"They're so delicious. Sana nag Chef ka nalang," I exclaimed while eating.
"Well, I want to be one but thanks to someone, I chose to be a doctor instead of being a chef," he said sadly. Sino kaya 'yon?
"Ah, ganun ba? Well, I can tell that 'someone' must be special for you to change your life-long dream." Really special.
"Well she is. A very special someone," napahinto siya sa pagkain at mukhang may iniisip. A she?
"She? Must be your girlfriend," I uttered pero mukhang nasaktan siya sa sinabi ko dahil binitawan niya ang kutsara sa kamay niya ng mahina.
"Bakit? May nasabi ba akong masama? If there is, then I'm sorry," I sincerely apologized but he just smiled again and spoke.
"Wala naman. Yeah, my girlfriend," aniya, tapos ngumiti at nagpatuloy sa pagkain.
If he has a girlfriend then why is he here? His girlfriend might think I'm a rebound just by guessing at the doctor's facial expression when I said 'girlfriend'. They must be in a lover's quarrel!
"Here, eat more." Nilagyan niya ulit ang plato ko ng Bouillabaisse, a French seafood stew. "Oh before I forget, why are you planning to stay here?" I asked curiously when I remembered his bag with clothes earlier.
"Just in case you'll get a fever again," tipid niyang sagot. "I can manage," I replied firmly. Even how many times I claim to be an independent woman, I still need other's help for me to live. Like in my illness case for example, it's a big of a deal especially to my parents if something goes wrong around me yet for me, it's fine since doon rin naman patungo ang lahat ng 'to.
"No, I insist. You're all alone here and your parents told me to do my job when they're off to another country. I'm just doing my job," pagpapaliwanang niya pa.
Baka wala lang siguro siyang mapagtuluyan. I don't even know if he has friends to ask favor with. That weird guy, Trevin, seems to be not a friend of him too.
Tinapos ko nalang ang pagkain ko at uminom ng tubig. He was also finished and got off his chair to clean the table. While cleaning, he halted and looked at me as if he realized something.
"If you're thinking that I'm homeless that's why I'm planning on staying here, think more. Nasa parents ko pa ang key ng condo ko somewhere around here too," pagbibigay alam niya. Nabasa niya siguro ang utak ko.
Then he could ask for a duplicate key, right?
"And there's no such thing as duplicate key in my case. I lost it way back then kaya 'yon nalang ang pag-asa ko," pahabol pa niya like he had read my mind again.
"How about friends to stay at? Wala din?" pahabol na tanong ko dahil sa tingin ko ay nasa mood pa siya mag sagot ng mga tanong. His face looked disgusted after hearing my question.
"No way I'm going to be a burden to them," he replied and kept on going
I'm thankful he was here though. If it wasn't for him, baka hanggang ngayon masama pa rin ang pakiramdam ko. I must say he's a good doctor, not that bad so far.
