Celestine
I call love bullshit. Iyan kase, nagmamahal ka pa. Puwede namang huwag nalang diba. Puwede namang maging single nalang habang buhay. Pero hindi eh. Lintik na puso, tumitibok nalang sa kung sino ang matipuan niya.
" Mahal mo nga pero ang tanong mahal ka pa ba niya?" Nagsindi siya ng sigarilyo at hindi ako pinansin. Simpleng tanong hindi niya masagot ng husto.
" Stop smoking, ikakamatay mo iyan" I told him. Hindi niya parin ako pinapansin.
" Kung hindi mo rin lang ako papansinin, ba't mo pa ako pinapunta dito?" Wika ko na lamang sa kaniya.
" Alam mo, walang mangyayari sa 'yo kahit makipagbugbugan ka pa sa type niyang ex mo. Masmabuti pang ayusin mo nalang kaya iyang buhay mo. You are a doctor. Dr. Caden Luke Ibarra, chief of surgery. It's not a must that you need to be like your father. Ayusin mo lang iyang buhay mo okay na. I cannot question you when it comes to your job because you excel in it. Just your attitude and your extracurricular activities Caden." Panenermon ko sa kaniya. I am aware that I am not as beautiful as his ex girlfriend. Hindi rin ako maputi at makinis. Sa katunayan ay morena ako at medyo kulot ang buhok. Hindi rin ako gaanong matangkad katulad ng babaeng mahal niya. Pero isa lang ang kaibahan namin, kung ako ang mamahalin niya, hindi ko siya sasaktan.
" Oh tignan mo, namumula na iyang pisngi mo dahil sa pakikipagsuntukan mo. Halika nga at gamutin ko." I tried to let him look at me eve though he doesn't want me to.
" Alam kong masgusto mong siya ang gumamot sa sugat mo pero hayaan mong ako muna pansamantala. Huwag ng mag-inarte pa" I just told him.
I'm a pediatrician. I cater onto kids. Pero hindi naman na bata 'tong ginagamot ko. Kaya lang gusto ko eh, mahal ko nga kase. Kaya nga nandito ako, nagpapakatanga.
" Why do you always do things like this for me, Celestine?" Walang pasabe niyang tanong.
" Because I care, Doctor. Isn't that enough reason to be in front of you? It's what my hypothalamus dictates me to do. And besides, I know you would be freeing yourself in the open this hour of the night, risking yourself like nobody cares for you at all. Paano na kung hindi ako tinawagan ng pulis, edi natulog ka sa bilangguan" Napadiin tuloy iyung bulak sa pisngi niya.
" Tiisin mo iyang sakit dahil kasalanan mo." Wika ko pa. Ang seryoso ng mukha niya. Some would say that he looks like an angry doctor but it's the other way around. Mabait naman si Caden, sadyang strikto lang dahil kailangan sa trabaho.
" You will not perform surgery tomorrow, Caden. Hindi pa kaya niyang sugat mo sa kamay. Reschedule them all. Ipasa mo kay Dr. Valenciano lahat ng mga emergency surgeries mo bukas." Wika ko sa kaniya.
" Parang boss lang ah. Yes boss. Masusunod kamahalan" Pinandilatan ko siya ng mga mata.
" Huwag mo akong pilosopohin, hindi ako natutuwa" I told him. Tipid itong ngumiti.
" You always make me smile, Dra. Rivas." I looked away. Iyan na naman iyung malakas na pagtibok ng puso ko.
But my mind says I should not expect more. Ayokong umasa dahil masasaktan lang ako. But part of me wants to. Kahit alam kong hindi na dapat. Okay na siguro iyung ganito kami. I will always be that doctor who would look after him.
" And you always give me problems in return Dr. Ibarra."
