The Day My Love Flew Away (Justice Series #2)

"I feel like I'm a bad friend," sabi ko na sinundana naman niya agad ng ilang beses na pag iling.

"Hindi... for me you're the best." She said. Napatingala siya at pinipigilang umiyak. I look around and stood up. 

"Can we talk somewhere else? I think I'm gonna cry a lot," I said ro her as tears pooling at the side of my eyes.

"Tara," she help me stood up and we went out the cafe.

Nag drive thru muna kami bago dumiretso sa condo ko. Wala naman daw siyang trabaho mamayang hapon dahil tinapos na niya lahat kagabi hanggang kaninang umaga.

When we arrived at the unit we sat down the couch and played some random movie on the tv. 

"How's life been going?" She started to ask after a few seconds of silence between us.

"Tough," I said and just stared at the wall.

"Yeah, life's tough because it's how it should be. Not everything goes the way you want to be because life doesn't favor anyone."

"Fate never favors with anyone," I added.

Kung ano ang nakatadhana, siyang mangyayari. I don't believe those who said write your own destiny becuase if destiny isn't with you it will never happen. Any obstacles, circumstances, in any situations, in the end... what lies in your fate.. it will happen.

"I'm sorry if I wasn't there for you when your mom died," I said and sighed.

"It's okay, I wasn't even with her 'till her last breath." She bit her lip and covered her eyes. Lumapit ako sa kaniya at niyakap siya. "She died suddenly, way to early..." She said in between her sobs.

I feel like my heart aching. What if I died too? Will she be okay? I don't want Aisha to feel the pain of losing someone dearly to her again.

"What happened to you in Florida?" She asked when she stopped crying. Tumingin siya sa akin at tumango lang. "Tell me," she urged me.

I told her everything that happened. I feel like a heavy baggage was lifted in my heart.

"I didn't even know that my best friend," her voice cracked, unable to say some words. She just hugged me tight instead.

"From now on, we still have each other..." She said and we cried together for the years we spent by apart.

We've been friends since we're teens and I'm so happy to have her in my life. 

"You can always call me if you have some problems? Don't shut the door, Zea." She said and took a deep breath. "Kain nalang tayo, mas mabuti pa 'yun." She said and stood up to arrange the food on the table.

Tumayo na rin ako dahil napagod ako sa pag-iyak but somehow I feel relieved.

All you need is a heart-to-heart talk to release all those unwanted thoughts and I'm thankful that I have a friend like Aisha in my life.

I arrived early at the hospital because I have to do some things. Inaayos na din ang schedules ng operations na gagawin ko, I think I will be full-packed this week.

As I was walking in the middle of the halls, my feet automatically stopped when I saw a familiar man. May kausap siyang nurse pero agad ding lumiko pagkatapos makausap iyong nurse.

Maghapon akong babad sa trabaho. Mukhang magkakapaltos pa ko dahil sa heels ko kaya nagpalit nalang ako ng flats. It's almost seven in the evening and I was on my way to the left wing where my office is located when suddenly the emergency button was ranging around the hospital.

Tumakbo ako papunta sa emergency room. Maraming sugatan and most of the beds where occupied and all the doctors were busy reviving and attending the patients.

I roamed my eyes around and saw a stretcher being pushed it's way to the emergency room. I went near them and saw a familiar face. 

"Doc, he lost a lot of blood and there might be some fractures in his body. He jumped out the building with that woman." Tumingin ako sa kabilang banda at nakita ang isang babaeng walang malay at maraming dugo.

"Be careful," I said as they transferred him to the bed. I checked his vitals and his head. His condition is... not good. "Prepare the operating room," I said but his vitals started to dropped.

I did everything I can to make him stable as we prepare for operation. When I got his vitals stable we prepared to go to the operating room. We can't afford to lose a single second because his condition is critical.

While they were transferring him to the OR, I suddenly remembered why that guy is so familiar. That guy is Ryland, and he's Jac's cousin.
