Bitter Sweet

CHAPTER 7

Elizabeth

"Uhm excuse me? I'm Dr. Villanueva's daughter is she there?" I asked mom's secretary.

"Yes she's here, may patient pa siya eh" She said smiling and went on to continue assisting patients

It's about 10 am, kaninang umaga lang ang klase ko and I'm free until this afternoon, I decided to visit mom at St. Pauls Hospital

Mom's an OB, she doesn't stay much at the hospital, unlike dad. Umupo ako sa kabilang side na bakante, mga lima pa siguro ang nakapila,I looked at them one by one, until I stopped at a young girl about my age, she was alone,her stomach seems not that obvious yet. I guess she noticed that I was staring at her for a long time that she looked back at me.

"I hope she knows I wasn't judging her or something" I thought to myself,

It's been a while so I decided to kill time by scrolling through instagram

I stood up nung may dumating na isang pasyente, wala na rin kasi bakanteng upuan kundi yung inuupu-an ko nalang kaya binigay ko nalang sa kanya

Nagpaalam muna ako sa secretary ni mom at naglakad lakad sa hospital

"Elizabeth" I looked back when I heard someone called me,

"Ikaw nga!" He said,

I smiled when I saw who it was,

"Miguel!" I waved at him, "anong ginagawa mo dito?"

"Why are you here? It's still a little early" He asked,

"Vacant eh, I was just waiting for my mom" I replied,

"Right, your parents work here" he added,

I nodded back at him, his mom and my mom are friends you see,

"How about you? What are you doing here?" I asked,

"May hinatid lang ako sa superior namin"

I looked at him confused,

"Oh right, nagduduty ako dito, hindi ko schedule pero yun nga, may hinatid lang ako" he explained,

"What about Drew? Does he also work here?" I asked out of curiosity

"Drew? Sa WVSU medical center sya, sa Don Benito, he's on duty right now, then sa wednesday." He replied,

I nodded at him, while still standing beside him

"Na kwento ni Nicole na nagkita daw kayo sa Megaworld nang Sat? Sayang duty ko nun that time." He continued talking to me

"Yah, nagtaka nga ako na hindi kayo magkasama ni Drew." I shrugged my shoulder

"Ikaw ha, is there something between you and Drew that we don't know about?" He teased, tinusok tusok niya pa ang tagilirin ko,

I gave him a scowl,

"Wala ah, friends lang kami" I replied slapping his hands off,

"Yeah right, wala daw pero iba na nakita ko sa Cave last saturday eh" he added,

Oh God, did he saw...me and Drew...kissing? Honestly I actually forgot that even happened, I hid my smile when I remembered what had happened during that day.

When he asked me last time when we were at the car, did he know what had happened between me and Drew?

I gave him a look and continued to slap him cause he still wasn't stopping with the teasing and the poking, until mom saw us both.

Miguel was about to leave and wave goodbye when he saw mom walk our way,

"Sige Beth, babalik pa ako sa West" he said,
