Mamahalin Kita ng Malayo

CHAPTER 38

*on call

Rod: Hi! Good morning my Lizzy.

Imee: Good morning.

Rod: Nasa hospital ka na?

Imee: Yeah, actually I'm currently heading to my office na.

Rod: Okay, so let's have dinner mamaya?

Imee: Not sure 'bout that Rod.

Rod: Why?

Imee: Baka kasi madaming pasyente mamaya.

Rod: What about meryenda around 3pm?

Imee: I'll just inform you nalang.

Rod: Okay. Nga pala Lizzy, kinukulit na naman ako ni Mommy about the dinner you promised her. Kelan ka daw ba pwede?

Imee: Oh god! I forgot about that na. Pakisabi kay Tita sorry. Pero sige bukas nalang. I'll clear my sched tomorrow.

Rod: Talaga?

Imee: Yah.

Rod: Thank you Lizzy. Mamaya pupuntahan kita jan ha? Kailangan ko din kasi pumunta sa site ulit. Hindi na din ako uuwi para bukas, sabay tayo umuwi sa bahay.

Imee: Okay. Ahm, Rod?

Rod: yes?

Imee: I gotta go, bye.

As she tell those words, she immediately ended the call but it's okay, magkikita naman kami mamaya eh besides I understand. Baka may emergency ulit. I also called mom and sinabi ko na sa kanya agad. She's very happy and can't wait to prepare some food for her future daughter-in-law daw. While sitting on my swivel chair, dad slowly open the door then speak up.

Lucas: Good thing, you're here already. Now, pumunta ka na agad sa site dahil padating na daw yung mga bagong materyales. Kindly check them and be sure na everything is okay.

Rod: Okay dad.

I immediately grab my car key then head to the parking area. It took me an hour and a half to reach the site. Sakto pagdating ko, kumakain na sila ng lunch so sumabay na din ako. As we finish our lunch, sakto namang dumating na ang mga bagong materyales. I checked those hollow blocks and most of them easily breaks kaya pinabalik ko agad. Ayokong gamitin yun, masyadong marupok. I stayed for like an hour then after that, pinuntahan ko na muna si Lizzy. As I enter the hospital, the guard greeted me. I was about to enter the elevator but Stephen called me. Here we go again, I don't have a choice kundi lapitan siya.

Stephen: Architect Laurel!

Rod: Oh hi Stephen.

Stephen: Wala si Imee sa office niya, nasa rooftop siya.

Rod: Ro-rooftop?! Anong ginagawa niya doon? (Worried)
