Barumbado at walang puso ang lalaking
si Keith Raven Delgado, lumaki syang kulang sa pagkalinga ng magulang.
Paano kaya kung malaman nyang hindi niya pala tunay na ina ang akala niyang ang babaeng nagbigay sa kanya ng buhay?
Ano kaya ang magiging b...
NAG UUSAP kami ni nanay patungkol sa pangingibang bansa. "Gusto mo ba talaga mangibang bansa, anak?" Tanong niya.
"Yes, nay. I wanna have a different environment. Masyado ng maraming negative ang nangyari dito." Mas makakabuti saamin ni chan-chan ang pagpakalayo-layo, her father Keith is probably married now, I don't want him near my daughter ever again.
"Kung iyan ang gusto mo anak, susuportahan kita." Niyakap niya ako at niyakap ko din siya.
Napaka understanding talaga ng nanay, I am so blessed to have a mother like her. I would never trade her with anything. She's been with me since from the beginning until now, she's still the best supportive Nanay ever.
AFTER the long talk with my mother ay napag desisyonan kong mag grocery. Iniwan ko kay nanay si chan-chan para mas mabilis akong makauwi. Alam niyo naman kapag bata ang daming tinuturo lalo na pag nag sho-shopping. However, Its been 2 days after my miscarriage. I am okay now but I'm still mourning because I lost my beautiful little angel, I know my angel is happy with the God right now. I know that we will meet up there when the time is right. I love you my little one, I will never forget you. You will be in my memory as long as I live. Mommy will always be praying for you, I love you.
Habang naglalakad ako patungo sa dairy section ay may pamilyar na lalaki akong nakita. I know him! Medyo na excite pa ako.
Nilapitan ko siya at sinundot ang kanyang matigas na braso. Lumingon naman ito at napangiti. Oo, sya nga! Siya iyong doctor doon sa hospital! Si doctor.... Ano nga ulit iyong pangalan niya?
Lumitaw ang mapuputi niyang mga ngipin. "Hey! I know you." Salita nito. What a handsome man! Hindi ako makapaniwalang doctor ito, para siyang hollywood actor!
"Youre doctor...." Napaisip ako sabay kamot sa aking ulo, hindi ko masyadong maalala ang name niya. "Drew, Dr. Drew!" Sabit niya.
"Yes! Doctor drew!" Napatawa ako. "Nice seeing you here! Dito ka din pala nag go-grocery." Ang feeling close ko ha.
"You are Nancy, am I right?" Turo nito.
Tumango ako. "Yep..." sabay ngiti ko.
Tiningnan niya ang dala kong shopping cart. "Are you still shopping? Do you wanna have a coffee?" Tanong niya.
Is he asking me to go out with him? Or baka gusto lang niya mag usap as a friend?
"Uh— sure! We can go for a coffee!" Sagot ko.
We went to starbucks malapit lang din sa grocery store kung saan ko siya nakita. I dont mind going out for a coffee with him. He's my doctor so it's okay. We both ordered iced caramel macchiato, parehas pa kami ng gusto. What a coincidence!
Pareho kaming natawa. "Now I know what kind of coffee you want for the next time." Natatawang pagkasabi niya.
Next time? Did he just say next time? Dont tell me gusto niya akong yayain mag coffee next time. Napakahaba naman ng hair ko para ayain ng isang doctor na katulad niya.
"So anyways, how you been Ms. Nancy?" Tanong niya, nakataas pa ang dalwang kilay niya.
"Just Nancy. Well, I am okay. Medyo masakit parin but I am okay." Sagot ko, I'm still moving on pero tanggap ko na my baby is in god's hands now.
"I am so sorry for that happened." Malumanay niyang sabi. "You know everything happens for a reason, you know!" Dugtong pa niya.
"I know. Thats true!" Ani ko. "Alam mo napaka positive mong tao, dr. drew."
Ngumiti siya. Ang ganda naman ng smile niya nakakawala ng pagod. "I'm a doctor, I have to!" Napahagikhik siya.
"Eventhough life is rough sometimes I still remain positive. If I don't, paano nalang ang mga pasyente ko? Kung negative sila, tapos negative ka rin walang mangyayari. Pero kapag positive ka sa buhay you have goals medyo sisipagan mo at motivated ka." Masayang salita niya.
"I know how hard life is. Napakarami kong patient na nag give up na sa life but I still motivate them I still talk it out with them with positive attitude. Gusto ko silang matulungan, I love helping people. Thats why I chose to be a doctor."
Namangha ako sa katalinuhan at sa positive niyang personality. Kung sana ganito din ako mag isip edi hindi sana ako na i-istress masyado.
"Turn negativity into challenge! Isipin mo nalang this is a challenge for me. I know I can overcome it. Think positive always!" Maganang salita niya.
Napahigop ako sa kape. "You're a great doctor, dr. drew." Ngiti ko.
"Just drew, ano kaba. We're friends now."
"Do you have a family?" Curious kong tanong.
Medyo nangunot ang noo niya. "What family? My own family or the parents kind of family." Natatawang sagot niya.
"Your own family." Ani ko.
"Nope. I don't have my own yet." Sabay higop niya sa kape niya. "I been so busy with my job, I forgot to find love." He professionally said.
Napatingin siya saakin. "You have a daughter right?" Tanong niya.
Tumango ako.
"I heard from your mom that you're not with the dad. I asked her why he didnt showed up when you were in the hospital. So I figured that you guys broke up?"
Napatingin ako sa mapupungay niyang mga mata. "Yeah. It's complicated to explain." Medyo uncomfortable ako pag naiisip ko si keith. I wonder if he got married yet. As far as I remember he supposed to get married 2 days ago, I was still recovering from the miscarriage. Natuloy kaya ang kasal nila?
"You think you could give me a chance?" Tanong ng doctor.
Doon na bumalik ang diwa ko. "W-what?" Ngunot noo kong balik tanong.
He looked at me in the eye parang tagos hanggang sa kaluluwa ko siya makatitig. "I am not rushing you, I just feel so comfortable being around you. Thats why I asked you if you can give me a chance to date you. I know we just met but I think the quote love at first sight is real."
"A-are you serious?" Tanong ko. Hindi lang ako makapaniwala that a doctor will asked me out. It felt surreal!
"Yes, I am serious. We're both available so we can maybe give each other a chance?"
"L-let me think about it." Pilit ngiti ko.
I cant think straight right now. I'm not sure if I am ready to fall in love again. I still think about Keith but he for sure is already married. As positive as he is probably going to help me with my mental condition right now. Should I give this a chance?
We ended up exchanging each other's contacts. Well see how this goes. Its either gonna be a fail again or he might be the right one.
