Past

I watch as Jessica walks away from me confidently. Nakita ko rin ang pagbati niya sa isa niyang kasamahan nang makasalubong niya ito. She looks back at me and smirked when she saw me still staring at her.

Umiling nalang ako. Of course I wouldn't stoop down on her level. I know better than that. I accepted the challenge because she annoyed me by looking confident that she'll have Kiel again.

Kung ganoon siya kasigurado na mapapasakanya ulit si Kiel, bakit hanggang ngayon... hindi parin sila? What's the delay of being together again kung mukhang sure na sure naman siya sa sinasabi niya?

At aminado rin naman ako na hindi ko pa ganoong nakikilala si Kiel dahil noong kasal lang naman kami ni Margaux nagkakilala. And I wouldn't say that there's a chance for us!

I know I like him more than a friend, pero ganoon rin ba ang nararamdaman niya?

I can't get my hopes up again. I'm so over it! Because sometimes, the more I expect, the more that I get disappointed.

At hindi rin dahil iba ang trato niya sa'yo... gusto ka na niya. May mga lalaking ganyan! Ipaparamdam sa'yo na gusto ka nila tapos pag nahulog ka na, sasabihin, as a friend lang 'yung pagtrato nila sa'yo at hindi nila intensyon na mahulog ka.

Bullshit! Akala ko babae lang gumagawa ng ganyan, may lalaki rin pala!

Suking-suki ako sa ganyan sa States! That's why Benjamin teases me about it all the time. Palibhasa, madali lang sakanya makakuha ng babae. Playboy kasi at hindi marunong magseryoso.

That's why I'm hoping he'll change his ways once he gets married to Kelsey.

I only had one serious relationship but it had my heart broken. Akala ko ako lang... 'yun pala dalawa kami. Kaya hindi rin ako kampante na pupwede kami ni Kiel lalo na't nandyan si Jessica.

Binalik ko nalang muli ang sarili sa pagbabasa ng chart ng bagong pasyente na ibinigay sa akin ni Rico. I'm still on his service today because he doesn't want to let me go.

I've been a great help to him in the operation kahit na akala ko nung una ay magpapanic ako. I was so focused and serious about saving that woman's life! It made me forget my distaste towards neurosurgery.

Medyo nagulat naman ako nang naramdaman ko ang pagvibrate ng cellphone ko. I grabbed it inside my coat to check who sent me a message.

Of course it was from him.

Kiel:

And by the way, I'll be back next month. See you.

Hindi agad ako nakareply sakanya katulad ng nakasanayan. Humilig akong muli sa counter upang mag-isip ng isasagot.
