A I S H A

"Have a safe flight, doc." I said to Matthew.

Nasa airport kami ngayon para ihatid siya. I'm also working already. Pinilit ko na si mommy at hindi ko na pinansin si Claire.

"Call me when you need me, alright? I'm just here, Ai. You're not alone." He said and kissed my forehead.

"Thank you for being my unexpected ally, Matty. I'll see you again." I said as he prepare himself to leave.

"We'll not see each other for a long time. But, call me, okay? Update me and if you need someone to talk to, I'm here." He said again.

I smiled. "Yes, doc."

"You're a psychologist but you don't know how to take care of yourself." He joked.

"HEY! TOO PERSONAL!" I hissed and chuckled.

I ran for a hug and he hugged me back tightly.

"Take care, okay? Be happy, Aisha." He whispered. I nodded.

"Thank you, Mat. I appreciate you." I whispered.

"I love you." He said before waving his hand for a goodbye.

Sumakay na ako sa sasakyan ko para dumeretso sa ospital nila ninang ko. Their hospital is also one of the best hospital here in our place.

After 5 hours of working and checking people's lives, I finally got to eat dinner.

Tetext ko sana si Mat na sabay kaming kumain kaso naalala ko, umalis na pala siya.

As I was fixing my things, someone barged on my office.

"Hello, doctora namin!" Kaia shoutedm I knew it was her.

"Ano?"

"Wala man lang welcome, umalis na si Mat?"

"May nakikita ka?"

"Ayan oh, floor mat." She joked.

Kaya naman kumuha ako ng pony ko at binato nanaman sakaniya.

"Aray ko ha!"

"Bakit ka ba nandito ha? Busy ako."

"Lolz, alam ko sched mo, doc. Out ka na today."

"Mag oovetime ako."

"Wag ako, Riego. Wag ako sinasabi ko sayo." Kunyareng pananakot niya.

Nandon lang kami at nagsasagutan.

"Dinner na tayo." Sabi ni Cali pagkapasok sa room.

"Oo yon, pinunta ko dito. Hindi ako nandito para bisitahin ka. Ano ka gold?!" Pang aasar pa ni Kaia.

"Hindi, diamond ako. Sorry ka." I fired back.

"Hay nako! Kaya hindi ako pumasok agad, eh. Hindi pa ba kayo done?" Sabi naman ni Cali.

"Hindi pa. Sumali ka dito." Si kaia.

"Tara na nga!" Aya ko na dahil nagiingay na kami sa ospital.

"Hindi ka magbibihis?" Tanong ni Cali.

"Hindi na. Kayo lang naman kasama ko." Sagot ko.

"Mag-ayos ka naman. Mukha ka nang nanay na may sampong anak na iniwanan ng tatay." Kaia fired again.

"Ang ingay mo, Kaia. Wala ka bang sched?" Sabi ko.

"Nandito ba ako kung may sched ako ha? Rank 5 na yan sa board?" Asar niya pa.

"AISH!" Si Cali.

Nagaasaran pa kami ni Kaia hanggang sa makapasok na kami sa sasakyan ko. Mga walang hiya sakin pala sasabay!

Inalis ko nalang ang white coat ko kaya naka round sleeves shirt nalang ako at skirt.

Nag dinner kami sa isang luxurious restaurant na alam ni Kaia. May ingay pa kasi ngayon ang pangalan niya dahil may panibong movie sila ni Isaiah. Once we entered the restaurant, parang nag ibang anyo tong bestfriend ko! Kung ang kaninang Kaia ay nagloloko ngayon naman ay para na siyang professional.

We entered a VIP room and started eating with a little chit chat.

"Hindi ka pa nag kkwento tungkol kay Mat? Boyfriend mo? Manliligaw?" Tanomg ni Cali.

"He's.." I smiled. "He's someone close to my heart."

"Pano si Enzo?" Tanong naman ni Kaia. I smiled before answering.

"We'll live our life the way we want it to be. We'll live without each other. Kinaya nga namin ng walong taon na wala ang isa't isa, ngayon pa kayang masaya na kami?" Sabi ko.

"I heard Aila and Enzo broke up na." Kaia said.

"Huh?" Cali.

"Sinabi lang ni Saiah saakin kagabi. She saw Aila crying last night then he messaged Enzo to ask, then Enzo said they broke up already." Kaia explained.

"Why?"

"I don't know. Hindi pa raw makausap si Aila ngayon." Sabi niya.

"A-Ano bang nangyari noong wala ako? Did something bad happened aside from Enzo and I lost our contacts to each other?" I asked.

"It's not our story to tell, Aisha." Cali said.

"Huh?" Ako.

"Ai, please don't be mad at Isaiah when you hear everything already. He just did what he have to do. I hope you'll understand that." Kaia said na lalong nagpalito saakin.
