"I'll stay here for a week only. I have to go back immediately." Mat said in the middle of our dinner. It's his second day here.
"Why? Stay here for a month. I don't have a friend here. " I said.
"You have Kaia and Cali." He said and chuckled.
"Tsh. They're all busy. I don't know when will I start to find a perfect hospital. There's a bunch of hospital wanting to get me but, Claire said, I should wait for her. Also, Mom asked me to rest for awhile."
"Travel for awhile. Live your life. Free from stress."
"Hmm. I'll think about it. Let's go to a park later?" I asked.
"Sure." He smiled.
After eating ay pumunta nga kami sa park.
Umupo kami sa isang bench at sabay na tumingin sa madilim na langit.
"I know you know how lucky I am to have you, Mat." I said breaking the silence. "I hope you know that."
"I know, Ai." He replied.
"Thank you, for being with me, until now. Our friendship was unexpected, but I will treasure you and I will treasure all the bonds we had. Thanks for saving me, Doctor Davis." I said and hugged him.
Dahil nakatingin pa rin siya sa langit, nagulat siya. Pero maya maya ay ramdam ko na din ang pagyakap niya saakin.
"You're wrong, Aisha. You were the one who saved me." He said and I shook my head quietly with my tears slowly falling. I hugged him tighter and he chuckled. "Don't worry I wont leave."
"Promise." I whispered.
"Promise. I'll stay as your bestfriend forever. Even you love someone else and even you're keeping a promise to someone else that you love. I'll stay." He said and kissed my forehead. "I love you, Doctora Riego."
"I love you..as my friend, Matt. Thank you."
He nodded. "Talk to Enzo, it will make you feel better." He said.
Natahimik kaming dalawa pero nanatiling nakasanday ang ulo ko sa balikat niya.
Matt...He's been my ally ever since I felt like my world is starting to crash down. I almost lost my grades but because of him, I didn't. He let me borrow his reviewer before our exam kaya may nasagot ako sa umaga dahil iyak lang ako ng iyak noon. I don't care with anything anymore basta ang gusto ko nalang ay umiyak sa gilid kung saan wala na saaking makakakita.
"Aisha?" He called.
"Hmm?"
"Mind enjoying Manila before your work with me?" He suddebly asked.
I smiled and nodded. "Of course, Matty."
*I'm using differeng pics na kasi I can't find any Belle Mariano's picture that matches the scene. Just imagine, it's her. Sorry.
