Love of the Lifetime at a Wrong Time

Chapter 11

"Pare, doc will be a little late, kasi nagkaroon siya ng emergency patient and he had to do an immediate bypass surgery. Kaya ayun."

"Ah okei." Sabi ni pare from the kitchen, hindi na ko pumasok sa kitchen kasi he doesn't like being disturbed when cooking. Ewan ko ba dun. Then pinuntahan ko na ulit si Twinx sa couch, wala na kasi ako choice eh. Ewan ko ba, kahit anong gawin ko talagang ang bigat talaga ng loob ko sa babaeng ‘to. Hindi ko talaga siya feel. Parang I don't feel like wasting my time talking to her. Ewan ko!

"So, your boyfriend is also a doctor?!" sabi niya.

Hay naku, kahit anong pilit ko talaga hindi ko talaga siya feel kausapin.

"Yah. Surgeon din." Sabi ko.

"Where did you two meet?!"

"Med school." Na iilang na ko sa mga tanong niya.

"Eh how long..." hindi niya na natapos kasi bigla na ko sumingit.

"Uy, have you seen this flick na ba?! Wanna watch it?! ganda!" sabi ko then put the movie on para matahimik na 'tong babaeng ‘to. Hindi ko na kasi talaga ma-take. Kaya ayun, no choice siya, natahimik din siya. Sa wakas! Kaya, we just watched the movie na lang. After the movie, odd silence na sumunod.

"Dinner’s ready!" sabi ni pare,

"Okei. Uhmm, twinx, excuse lang ha?! I'll just arrange the table." Sabi ko then tumayo na ko papunta sa dining room.

"Oh, let me help." Sabi niya, sabay tayo na din sa seat niya.

"No, no, it's okei."

"No, let me help"

"Wag na, you're my guest. You should just chill and feel at home."

"But.." aba! At hihirit pa!

"Wag na... it's okei.. ako na lang. Thanks for the offer na rin." Sabi ko and then smiled. So napilitan na rin siya kaya naupo na lang siya ulit and watched some t.v. na lang. Preparing the table made me relax. I don't know. For some reason it took my mind off the pressure na pwedeng idala ng dinner na '‘to. Ewan ko ba! Basta, parang sobrang stressed ako ngayon. Paranmg mas relaxed pa kokapag tumatakbo ako sa hospital whenever somebody pages me. Hindi lang talaga ako siguro sanay. After finishing the table, I helped pare to put some finishing touches to his masterpiece. Then biglang nag ring ung doorbell, I was about to go get it, pero twinx volunteered to get it kaya I just let her do it. When I came out of the kitchen nakita ko si doc, having a little chit-chat with Twinx.

"Oh hey!" sabi ni doc.

"Hey!" sabi ko then he kissed me on the cheeks.

"I brought a little something, hope you like it, I know It's your favorite." He said, sabay abot ng bote ng favorite red wine ko. After putting the red wine in the cooler I introduced Twinx to doc.

"uhm, by the way,hon, this is twinx, pare's girlfriend" sabi ko "twinx, si doc, boyfriend ko." Sabi ko, introducing them to each other.

"Nice to meet you." Sabi ni twinx, then she held out her hand to doc.

"Same here." Sabi naman ni doc, and shook her hand smiling.
