After that day, nalaman ko na nasa ibang bansa pala ang mga magulang ni Lucy kaya kasamang umuwi ni Gun si Adelaide dahil ito ang magbabantay sa bata.
But Ady is so busy on building her branch here in Manila, kaya si Gun ang laging sumusundo kay Lucy.
"Let's go," Gun said when Lucy full me in front of his Car, "Ahm G-gun ok lang may pupuntahan pa kasi ako salamat na lang" I lie and try to avoid him.
Magdadalawang linggo niya na akong sinasabay sa paguwi nila, at hinahatid sa bahay.
"Where? We can drive you there," sambit niya habang nakahawak sa susi ng kanyang sasakyan. Teka saan ako pupunta? Anong idadahilan ko?
"Ahm sa Hospital kay Luan, magkikita kami ngayon hahaha," even though we're not. Gun nodded and looked at me, "Ok," he said, he went inside of his car and drove their way home.
Nakahinga ako ng maluwag nang mawala na sila sa paningin ko, agad akong pumara ng taxi at umuwi sa bahay.
Dahil hindi ko naman talaga pupuntahan si Luan dahil may busy siya ngayon, at kakatext niya lang kanina nung pinadiliveran niya ako ng lunch. He always does that when he's busy.
"Manong sa tabi na lang po," sambit ko at agad nagbayad sa driver at bumababa ng taxi.
Dumiretso ako kila Rosy para kunin si Charvy at tumuloy sa bahay, "I didn't know that your house is a hospital?"
Halos tumalon ang puso ko ng may magsalita sa likuran ko habang binubuksan ko ang pinto, agad ko itong hinarap at nanlaki ang aking mga mata ng makita si Gun sa tapat ng bahay.
He crossed his arms above his chest and stared at me, "G-Gun?" hindi makapaniwala kong sambit.
"I know you would do this," he said and smirk, "Ano cinancel ni Luan, d-dahil may emergency sa hospital" pagpapalusot ko at tumayo ng maayos. He nodded and looked at me, "I just wanted to give this to Charvy," he said and showed a lot of paper bags.
Naglalaman ito ng mag food dogs, mga kagamitan na magagamit ni Charvy at ibang laruan. I urge a smile and quickly get it from him. "Thank you so much," I said.
"Welcome, I'll go now see you tomorrow," he said and rubs Charvy's head before he leaves. Pagkaalis ng sasakyan niya nanghihina akong napaupo sa three step stairssa tapat ng pinto ng bahay.
Nanginginig ang mga tuhod ko, hindi ko inaasahan na maaring mangyari iyon. Nahuli niya akong nag sinungaling buti na na lang ay nakapagisip agad ako ng palusot. "Charvy bakit ganito!!!!" I haze and hug Charvy.
Ang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko....
***
"Welcome, I'll go now see you tomorrow,"
I was in my peaceful sleep when that suddenly pop up in my mind, Magkikita ulit kami mamaya. Kahit wala pa si haring araw ay tumayo na ako mula sa kama at naghanda ng almusal sa baba.
I also took a shower then prepare for school, dahil friday ngayon hindi ko kailangan magsuot ng uniform. So I choose to wear a black cropped top from H&M and off-white ankle pants with black mules on.
Also, put some makeup on my face, and because I wake up early I have extra time to curl my short hair.
After dressing up, I also change my normal bag to a leather one. I don't know? I suddenly feel that I should do this...
Ilang beses akong humarap sa salamin bago, paulit-ulit na inayos ang aking buhok.
When it's about time to leave nilagay ko na ang leash ni Charvy at muling sumulyap sa salamin bago tuluyang pumunta sa pinto at binuksan ito.
Pagbukas ko ng pinto isang magarang busina ng sasakyan sa harapan ng bahay ang sumalubong sa akin.
And I badly know who this guy is.... "Luan!" I haze when he opens the window and smiles at me. "Care for a free ride showty," maloko nitong sambit kaya umiiling-iling kong nilock ang pinto ng bahay at pinasok ang bag sasakyan niya bago dinala si Charvy sa kapit bahay.
Pagkatapos kong dalhin si Charvy sa kapit bahay, sumakay na ako sa sasakyan ni Luan at ang malapusong hugis ng labi niya ang sumalubong sa akin.
Sinara ko ang pinto at nakangiting hinarap siya, "Seems like the doctor is out of the Hospital, why is that?" I said make him chuckle and put his sunglasses on.
"Because the Doctor have a special patient for today, the most beautiful patient he ever had," nakangiting sambit nito saka biglang naglabas ng isang box ng chocolates.
I smiled and felt butterflies in my stomach, as I appreciated his sweetness... "Thank you," I genuinely said and smiled at him, he held my hand and added another box so my eyes widened.
"This is too much!!!" hindi makapaniwala kong sambit, pero tumawa siya, "I know it's too much, so I give you this to hand it to the kids hahaha," I also laughed ng marealize na isa lang pala ang akin.
He started the engine with laughter between us, and he started talking about the pregnant patient he saved in the operation yesterday. Hearing that makes me think that the person who will be his partner in life will be the luckiest...
We reach the school after a minute, "Thank you for the funny ride Doctor, and I'll tell the kids about this," I said and show him the box of chocolates for the kids.
"Thank you, Teacher," he said and kissed my hand before he removed my seat belt and opened the door for me.
"Let's have dinner after class ok, I'll fetch you up at 5," he said and wink, "Oo na umalis ka na," natatawa kong sambit at sinara na ang pinto ng sasakyan niya.
"Wuv u," he said and drove away. Umiling-iling akong pumasok sa school at sinalubong ng mga bata.
"Teacher!!!!"
"Good morning, Teacher."
"Good morning class, I have good new Doctor Handsome gave me this," itinaas ko ang isang box ng chocolates at tila nagningning ang mga mata ng mga bata kaya napangiti ako lalo, Luan really know how to make this kids happy.
"I will give each and every one of you, if you all have a high score for our quiz today, understand?" malambing kong sambit.
Lahat sila ay nag sitanguan ng mabilis na umupo sa kanilang mga upuan at nilabas ang mga lapis. I smile and put my things on my desk and start giving them their quiz for today.
They instantly answered their quizzes as soon as I handed them to them...after giving all the quizzes I just watched them the whole time.
They took lunch and I ate lunch together with Lucy, then we continued the quizzes.
"Ok, for a line before you go home so I can give you guys your chocolates" mabilis nilang sinuot ang mag bag at pumili sa harapan ko. "Ok Jc, say thank you to Doctor handsome when you see him ok," he nodded and walk, "Lian, he's yours"
"Lili this is for you," lahat sila ay binigyan ko hanggang sa maiwan na lang kami ni Lucy sa loob. "Lucy here's your chocolate," I handed her the last one and smiled at her. Luan really knows the number of my students, saktong sakto oh.
"Excuse me, Lucy," napalingon kami ni Lucy ng kumatok si Gun sa pinto at ngumiti. Lucy quickly ran to him and hugged him. "Tito Gunner!"
Gun looked at me, so I suddenly felt conscious. Mukha ba akong maayos??? My body is trembling from those stares.
"Can we give you a rid---,"
"Nope, you can't, because she's coming with me," nagulat ako ng biglang lumitaw si Luan sa likod niya na may ngiti sa labi.
"We're going on a date tonight, so I'm sorry she can't and she won't," Luan said but he's smiling and chill but the atmosphere really is different when he comes.
Lumapit siya sa akin at hinawakan ang aking kamay, he smiles and winks at me before he gets my bag and walk pass through Gun and Lucy.
"Bye Lucy," he said and smiled at Lucy before we walked through the hallway...
Naglalakad na kami ng magsalita muli si Gun at tinawag ang pangalan ko... my heart suddenly felt adormal....
"Sienna," napalingon ako agad dahil doon, "Y-yes?" I ask.
"Did Chantel already tell you about the reunion?" he asked, agad akong tumango. Dahil sinabi na ito sa akin nila Chantel at Lana noong nakaraang araw pa.
"Yes," I said.
"Are you coming?" he asked, my heart gone crazy buti na lang Luan is holding me right now. Alam kong nararamdaman niyang nanginginig ang kamay ko kaya pinipisil-pisil niay ito ng dahn-dahan.
When I glance at him, he's just smiling at me. The smile that sends so much comfort...
"Yes," I answered.
Gun smile and, "See you there," he waves and they walk on the opposite way. I watch his back and whisper...
"Y-yeah, s-see y-you."
