Love Taken Chances

Chapter 16

Aj

I am in Dad's room sulking. I am now alone. Kai left already. He has a flight to cathc up. Aaah I miss flying and the feeling that it gives me. I hate myself from feeling this way, I am so damn jealous. I sent a message to Luca.

Me:
Where are you?
Luca:
In my pad. Why?
Me:
I just want to ask a one favor.
Luca:
Okay, say it.

Me:
Can you investigate Bella's best friend the Doctor named Jeffrey? Know everything about him and send it to me as soon as possible bro.

Luca:
Wooh! Why? Still can get over with that jelly thing? I'll send it later. Give me some time. By the way did you sent a food cart to the OR this evening?

Me:
No, bakit ako magsesend? Halos magusot ang mukha ko sa pagtataka.

Luca:
Oh! It must be the best friend name Dr. dela Rama. The whole OR turned into a festive frenzy, their enjoying the good food, it seems that he sent the whole restaurant menu to the OR. Hahah! Tsk tsk! Now you turned into negative zero. Try your luck next time.

Me:
Fuck you! Gawin mo pinapagawa ko.
Di ko na siya inantay magsalita at binabaan ng phone.

Damn! Naiinis ako, so nagpadala talaga ng food ang bestfriend niya.
Bobo ka kasi Aj kanina kapa sinabihan ni Kai na mag order ng food. Pagud kaya yon, pagkain na lang di mo pa magawa sa kanya, sa isip isip ko. Napabuntong hininga na lang ako.

Aaaaah! Sapo ang aking ulo. Kainis naman!

"Whats wrong Caden?" It was my Dad.

"Nothing Dad, you better rest early. Will be going home tomorrow early morning. Mang Ben will be here at 8am." sabi ko sa kaniya.

Di naman sya sumagot at humiga na lang. I look at my wrist watch and the time is past ten in the evening. Matatapos na ang duty niya. Do I need to fetch her? Naiinis ako baka awayin ko lang siya. Pano naman siya uuwi? She didn't bring her car. Para akong tanga na nag aantay sa kanya habang wala pang eleven in the evening.

God! Finally it's 11 P.M. Maya maya ako pupunta. Antayin kong kaya munang magtext. Di manlang ako naalalang itext, magmula pa kaninang tanghali. Kung hindi pa ako tumawag kanina wala na naman. Aist! Sa inis ko lumabas ako ng room and went to the OR department. I will wait outside . Kahit naman naiinis ako, di ko talaga siya matitiis at kayang pabayaan na umuwi ng mg isa.

Suddenly my phone beeps pagkarating ko sa OR.

Hey, my shift is done. Where are you?, a message from Bella.

I just stared at my phone and didn't reply. I don't want to talk now baka kung ano pang mangyari. Sabi nga less talk, less mistake. Ayoko ko lang sumabog ako kasi di ko alam kung ano itong nararamdaman ko. I need space para maintindihan.

The OR main door open and there she is. I look at her. If nothing undesirable happened this afternoon maybe I will hug her the moment she stepped out of that door and won't mind if there some people might see us. Kaso nga galit pa rin ako dahil sa nararamdaman ko mula pa kanina. I look at her again. She looks so exhausted. Nagkatitigan kami saglit.Bago niya binasag ang katahimikan.

"Hey, kanina kapa? I texted you but got no reply.", sabi niya at nag isip muna ako if sasagutin ko ba or deadma. Fuck Caden whats happening to you?

"Just a few minutes ago. I'll send you home." ang lumabas sa bibig ko sa kawalan ng masasabi. Nagsimula akong maglakad papuntang elevator at wala kaming imikan hanggang sa makarating sa parking lot sa basement at pumasok sa sasakyan. Nakatuon lang ang tingin ko sa daan. Di ko siya magawang tingnan. Kasi alam ko pag tinitigan ko siya matatalo ako. I don't wanna see her eyes, confused and begging, that's my weakness. I know she's tired.
