The Heart Doctor

Twenty

The following morning, Bea and I were heading home. We stopped by the popular pasalubong centre before we made our way back to the Metro. We just want to make sure we bought enough for our family and friends.

We were sitting next to each. I rest my head on her shoulders as we held each other's hand.

Masaya na ako sa ganito. Mahawakan ko lang ang kamay niya sobrang panatag na ang loob ko. Yung pakiramdam na hindi ko kailangan magworry kasi alam kong safe ako at hindi ako pababayaan ni Bea. She just gives me too much comfort.

Biglang nasalita si Bea.

"I'm excited for you to meet Deanna..."

I didn't respond but I am happy sa thought na finally mamemeet ko na din ang sister niya.

"For sure magkakasundo kayo..." Patuloy ni Bea.

"We've met na naman and she's nice..." I said because I feel like I need to say something.

"Yeah, but that's online. Iba yung in person. She's a really good person..." She replied.

"Sabi ko nga.." I chuckled.

She kissed my head and she never talked after that until makarating kami as Manila.

"Kuya, daan po muna tayo as restaurant ni Kat. Daanan lang natin yung food. Nagsabi na ako na malapit na tayo." Bea told Kuya Jerry.

"Okay po Ma'am." Sagot naman ni kuya.

Ilang minutes lang ay nasa harap na kami ng restaurant ni Kat. Nasa labas ito kasama si Bacon.

They personally gave us two big bags full of food.

"Thanks Kat and Bacon! Uwi na kami so we can rest." Bea said after nyang makipagbeso as dalawa.

"Okay, I'm sure you guys are tired... Say hi to Deanna for me. Let's set dinner soon ahhh?" Kat said.

Tumango lang si Bea at inabot ang isang bag ng pasalubong kay Bacon.

They waved goodbye as Bea sits next to me habang tuluyan ng pinaandar ni Kuya Jerry ang sasakyan.

Binaba kami ni Kuya Jerry sa harap ng condo. May dalawang staff na kumuha ng mga gamit namin.

"Sa unit ni Deanna yung food. They are waiting for that." Bea instructed them.

Hawak ni Bea ang kamay ko habang naglakad kami papunta sa elevator hanggang sa loob ng unit ni Bea.

"Shower muna tayo?" She asked me.

I just nodded.

Napansin ko namang nakalagay na ang mga bags namin sa sala when I finished changing clothes from my room.

Hindi naman nagtagal when Bea went of her room looking fresh din.

She smiled at me, hugged me before placing a kiss on my lips.

"Ready?" She sweetly asked.

Tumango lang ako so she took my hand and lead the way to Deanna's unit.

Pagpasok namin ay masaya kaming binati ni Mafe.

"Ate Bea!!!! I missed you!" Mafe shouted as she run to Bea and hugged her.

"I missed you to Mafe..." Bea replied and gave her a bag of goods from Baguio.

"Akin to lahat ate?" Mafe asked Bea.

"Yes, all yours!" Bea laughed.

"Wooaaahhhh! The best ka talaga ate!!!" Mafe screamed as she checked the items inside the bag.
