"Is she around?"
I rang the doorbell again. I was in front of Hiro's condo to look for Yanna after checking out from the hotel, 'yong room tsaka 'yong suite. Sevi took the girls home pala yesterday. I wasn't sure if Arkin would go with him or not. Anyway, when I woke up, Clyden already left since he had to go back to the hospital. He left a message to say goodbye since he didn't want to wake me up. I also made sure to take a pill.
I had to get our gifts for Yanna and deliver them to her, but she wasn't answering. Wala ba sila ni Hiro? I rang the doorbell for the last time. Finally, narinig ko na 'yong steps sa loob. I smiled when the door opened, but it immediately faded when I saw Yanna with messy hair, only wearing Hiro's dress shirt. Mukhang inaantok pa.
"Nasa langit na ba 'ko?" she asked when she saw me, still half-asleep.
"Uh, you won't go there."
I laughed and pushed the door wider so I could bring the gifts inside. I wasn't planning to stay since I felt like I was disturbing her beauty sleep. Maybe she also had fun last night. A hickey was still visible on her collarbone.
"Kaya nga ako nagtataka, eh. Sam, gumawa ka na ng kasalanan para kapag namatay tayo, magkasama pa rin tayo," Yanna said, taking her seat on the sofa. Mukhang nahimasmasan na siya.
"Here are your gifts. You should open them by yourself. Some are... inappropriate." I scratched the tip of my nose. The girls had already told each other what they had bought for her. All of them were adult things.
"Walang inappropriate kay Hiro. Okay lang 'yon." She closed her eyes again, trying to go back to sleep.
"I was talking about Avi," I corrected her. I didn't see Avi around, so I assumed that she was still with Hiro's mom.
"Ano ba 'yan? Sex toy?" she whispered like someone would hear her. I just gave her an awkward smile since I couldn't answer that one. Dapat ma-surprise siya pagkabukas kaya hindi ko sasabihin kung ano ang laman. "Hay, nag-abala pa kayo."
"I need to go now. I have a shoot," I told her.
"Ah, kaya pala mukhang blooming ka kahit kakainom mo lang kagabi. Akala ko naman nadiligan ka o ano." She sighed heavily.
I suddenly stopped walking when I heard what she said. I turned to her with my eyes wide in surprise. How did she know? Was it that obvious? Napalingon din siya sa 'kin at nang marealize ang reaction ko, napatayo kaagad siya.
"Hindi nga?!" she yelled at me. "Totoo?! No joke?! Gagang 'to, nauna pang nakarating ng langit kaysa sa 'kin!" She pointed at me and scowled.
"It just happened. I need to go now." Tumalikod na kaagad ako sa kanya para makatakas.
"Details!" she yelled, but I had already closed the door.
I drove to the studio, and I immediately saw Francine waiting for me outside. Dali-dali siyang pumasok sa loob kasama ako para maayusan. I greeted all the staff and bumeso na rin sa director. There were other Filipino models there and some celebrities. All of them looked at me when I walked inside, so I felt awkward.
"Ang ganda niya," I heard another model whispering.
"Ngayon ko lang siya nakita in person. Pa-picture tayo mamaya."
It was so awkward to hear them talking about me, so I already went inside the dressing room to get my makeup done. Arah was busy taking some calls for me at the back, but she gave me a nod as a greeting. I sat and faced the mirror with Francine beside me.
I was just browsing through social media when the door opened, and two female celebrities went inside. I glanced at them, and they looked away. They were even pushing each other. I looked at my phone again and scrolled.
"Uhm... Hello, Sam!" The other one stumbled beside me, so I held her arm to keep her on her feet.
"Oh my, are you okay?" I asked worriedly. Umayos kaagad siya ng tayo at hinatak 'yong kaibigan niya. They were familiar to me maybe because Arkin already worked with these two on one of his movies.
"Can we take a pic?" the other celebrity asked. "It's my first time meeting you! Nagta-Tagalog ba siya?" she asked her friend. Pabulong 'yon pero narinig ko pa rin.
"Oo 'ata," her friend answered before turning to me. "I heard you're also friends with Ate Clea and Kuya Arkin! I worked with them sa isa po nilang movie!"
Oh, I was right. "Sorry, hindi pa tapos ang makeup. You can wait outside," Arah told them.
"Hey, it's fine." I waved my hands in front of me and stood up to take a picture. It was just one take because Arah scared both of them. Pagkaalis nila ng dressing room, napatingin ako kay Arah. "You're so mean!"
"I said it nicely," she defended herself. "See how famous you are right now? Nakita kong mas marami nang nagse-search ng pangalan mo ngayon sa internet. It was affected by your recent issue with Haze. Netizens like gossiping about other people's love lives."
"I hate being talked about." I sighed. "Have you already taken care of my New York apartment?"
"Yes. I'm going there this weekend. Are you sure you want to leave? Final na?" she asked again.
I touched the necklace hanging on my chest with the ring attached to it. It took me a long time to answer, but I still nodded. Clyden would understand. I will do this for myself. I really wanted to do something for myself.
The shoot went well, but I felt a little awkward because some people kept on staring at me. Why? Did I look different today? I was conscious of my appearance. Normal naman ako pag tinitingnan ko sarili ko sa mirror. I remembered Yanna telling me that I looked blooming. Was it the glow after... doing it?
My face heated while driving. I was on my way to the gym. I skipped two sessions, so my trainer went hard on me! It was still bearable. Thank goodness. After my time at the gym, I went with Yanna for her wedding dress fitting.
"You look heavenly!" I complimented her when she went out of the dressing room. Tiningnan niya ang sarili niya sa salamin. It was an elegant wedding dress that hugged her body. Medium-length lang siya, and it had lace sleeves too. I tied her hair in a bun to see what she would look like.
"Okay lang ba 'to? Bakit ako kinakabahan? Hindi ko pa naman kasal!" She really looked nervous.
"Yanna, ayusin mo itsura mo. Mukhang natatae ka tapos hindi mo malabas." We looked at the man seated on the couch.
Oh, I forgot to say... Sevi came with us too just to have his opinion about it. Wala rin naman daw siyang gagawin ngayon dahil meeting lang naka-schedule sa kanya.
"Sevi, ikaw mukha ka pa ring tae kahit sa normal mong pagmumukha." Yanna raised her middle finger.
"Sabi pa naman nila magkamukha tayo." Sevi held his chin and looked up. "Alam mo bang iyon na ang pinakamalalang insultong narinig ko?"
"Oh, shut up, you two. You kissed each other in high school." I stopped both of them from arguing. Good thing Luna wasn't with us.
"Yuck!" Sevi made a disgusted face. "Sam, ano ba 'yang lumalabas sa bibig mo? Nakaka-offend!"
I laughed and just helped Yanna take the wedding dress off. After that, we checked the dresses made for the bridesmaids. We put them in boxes, and I assigned Sevi to deliver them to Kierra, Luna, and Via. Yanna was going to deliver the other boxes by herself for her other friends from college and from the airline.
"Sino'ng best man ni Hiro? Si Shan o si Haze?" I asked Yanna.
"Si Shan. Ayaw ni Haze. Ang sabi niya ayaw niya raw tumayo sa harapan. Baka raw sa kanya mapunta 'yong atensyon." Yanna shrugged. I laughed at that because it was something Haze would probably say.
"Ano ba ako rito? Taga-buhat?!" reklamo ni Sevi sa likod namin. He was holding the boxes in his arms. "Porket macho ako, ah..."
"He will talk about his biceps next," I whispered to Yanna.
"Tsaka porket ang angas ng biceps ko, gagantuhin n'yo ako!" Sevi continued.
"Sevi, ilang beses ko nang narinig 'yan sa 'yo. Hindi ka titigil?" Yanna threatened him. "Reklamador ka! Pasalamat ka inimbita kita sa kasal ko!"
"Kaya lang naman ako pupunta para tingnan kung mahihimatay ka kapag nabasbasan ka," Sevi fired back. Hindi talaga nagpapatalo.
"Bobo. Sana maiputan ka ng kalapati."
I just covered my ears and walked faster so I wouldn't hear them arguing anymore. We arrived at a restaurant to meet the wedding planner. I participated and suggested some changes for Yanna to have her ideal wedding. Malapit na ang kasal kaya fina-finalize na lahat ngayon.
Yanna will have a beach wedding in Palawan, where she and Hiro traveled years ago, so we had to clear our schedules for her. Because we would stay there for days, I knew Clyden couldn't go. Tinanong ko pa rin siya while eating dinner at the restaurant.
From: Doctor Ramirez
I'm sorry. I really want to but I can't go.
To: Doctor Ramirez
It's okay. I knew that already but I still wanted to ask you. Have you eaten your dinner na? I hope you're eating well.
From: Doctor Ramirez
Not yet.
To: Doctor Ramirez
I'll bring you food!
I wanted to do that for him too! I ordered a take-out from the restaurant while Yanna was talking to the wedding planner. Sevi was just silently eating his food. He ordered na parang may fiesta because Yanna said she would pay for it.
Sevi suddenly choked on his food when he saw a man entering the restaurant. Naubo-ubo na siya at muntik pang madura mula sa bunganga niya 'yong pagkain. I looked at him in worry before giving him a glass of water. So... Hiro just arrived.
He looked around and went to our table as soon as he saw Yanna. He sat beside her and gave her a kiss on the cheek. I had to look away! They were too sweet! I felt jealous!
"C.R. lang ako," paalam ni Sevi bago tumayo at umalis. I laughed and sipped on my shake.
The wedding planner already went home after the meeting, so I was left with the two lovebirds. Pagkabalik ni Sevi, hindi na siya makakain nang maayos. He ordered too much to tease Yanna without knowing that it was actually Hiro who would pay for our food. I had to laugh at that.
"You should eat more," Hiro told him, his hand on Yanna's waist.
"Ah, okay na 'ko. Busog na 'ko." Sevi looked away in embarrassment.
"'Di ba may order ka pang dessert?" Yanna arched a brow. "Pa-serve mo na."
"Huh? Hindi, ah! Hindi ako nag-order ng dessert! Si Sam 'yon!" he suddenly accused me.
I looked at him in confusion, but I still saved him from his misery. I nodded and claimed that it was mine. I just asked him to share the dessert with me kahit sa kanya naman 'yon. Hiro didn't care. Sevi was just scared of him kaya ganoon.
"How's your boyfriend?" Hiro asked me. "Did he enjoy my bachelor's party? He didn't even drink that much."
"Well, he's not much of a drinker." Boyfriend? Oh... Clyden told me that he still loved me last night, but I fell asleep without answering him back. He didn't even wait for it. He wasn't expecting me to say it back. "Did he have fun with the girls?"
"No, he completely ignored them." Hiro laughed. "He looked innocent."
I suddenly remembered what happened last night! Innocent?! No way! He just looked like it, but he really improved his performance! Saan niya natutunan 'yon? Was he having sex with other women while I was away?
"Innocent pa nga," Yanna whispered, glancing at me.
I looked at my phone to check the time before standing up and taking the paper bags with me. Sevi looked at me with wide eyes like I just betrayed him.
"I have to go now. He's waiting for me," paalam ko sa kanila.
"Ako rin! Hinihintay na rin ako!" Sevi stood up too.
"Nino, mars? Multo?" Yanna raised a brow.
I just laughed and waved before walking away. Sevi followed me from behind until we reached the parking. Kumaway na rin ako sa kanya bago sumakay sa sasakyan ko. Medyo natagalan ako because I was stuck in the traffic. Before getting off the car, I wore a cap and a facemask just to be safe.
Clyden texted me to go to their office, so roon ako dumeretso. I stayed outside the room he gave me and was too shy to knock. I was just about to text him when the door opened, and he came out wearing his white coat and specs. He looked surprised to see me there.
"Were you waiting here?" he asked, leaving the door open. I looked past him and saw other doctors there and probably residents like him too. I saw a younger one, so probably intern naman. May dalawang doctor na natutulog sa couch at sa desk.
"I'm sorry. It's already late. I was stuck in traffic," I apologized. "Uh, I brought enough food for you... and your colleagues."
"Thank you. Come inside for a moment." He took the paper bags from my arms before holding my hand, pulling me with him.
Was I even allowed there? I felt like I was stepping inside a restricted area. Being surrounded by doctors was intimidating! Clyden placed the paper bag on the table so the other doctor woke up. He looked around and yawned.
"Uy, may pagkain! Thanks, Doc!" Nagising kaagad siya.
"Eat up, everyone," he told them. "It's from her." He pointed at me.
My eyes widened when they started thanking me, gathering around the table. I just nodded since they wouldn't see my smile under my mask. Clyden took a call, so he walked away from me for a moment.
"Girlfriend ka po ni Doc?" the younger one asked me. "Akala ko single siya sa sobrang busy niya! Na-wow mali ako roon, ah!"
"Oh, I... I guess." I didn't know how to answer that. We didn't talk about it. I wasn't even expecting to have a label since aalis din naman ako. We were just enjoying our time together. "Is he doing good?"
"Kulang sa tulog pero lahat naman po kami!" The younger lady laughed. "Siya po pinakamasipag dito kahit..." She leaned closer to whisper. "...anak siya ng may-ari!"
Oh, like I didn't know that. I just laughed because she looked so thrilled by knowing that. Was it a secret? He was literally carrying the surname with him.
"I'll step out for a bit and do my rounds," Clyden told them before pulling me with him outside.
"Weh?!" the man shouted.
I gave them a wave before getting dragged by Clyden. He wore his stethoscope around his neck and held a folder in his other hand.
"I bought the food for you tapos hindi ka rin kakain?" I pouted.
"I'll eat it later. I saved one for myself. Don't worry," he assured me.
I thought we were going to the ward, but he bought popsicles for us instead. We sat on the metal bench in an empty hallway while eating. Isa iyon sa mga hindi busy na lugar sa hospital. It was just beside the sliding door to the hospital's garden.
"I never dated anyone in the hospital. So this is a thing now?" I took off my mask and gave him a smile.
"Well, we're going to meet here a lot." He leaned his head on the wall while eating a popsicle. I just stared at him and admired him in his white coat. He had his name on the side too. I couldn't help but feel proud of him.
"It's already late, but congratulations on topping the boards." It hit differently because I was there when he was struggling with his studies in med school. Nakita ko kung paano niya pinaghirapan lahat ng 'yon.
"I was actually expecting you to leave a message that day." He let out a small laugh. "How stupid, right?"
"No." I shook my head. "I was also planning to congratulate you, but I felt embarrassed because you might think that I was weird or something."
"Were you proud of me?" He looked at me and arched a brow.
"Of course!"
He nodded and looked away. "As long as you are proud of me... My sacrifices are all worth it."
I didn't get what he said. I just leaned my head on his shoulder, and he played with my hand. We stayed silent for a few more minutes before he received a call and had to go back to his job. I stood up and reminded him to eat and sleep before I left.
"Hey." He held my wrist when I was about to walk away.
I was about to talk when he pulled me with him and gave me a soft kiss. I was so shocked I had to step back when he let go of me. I touched my lips with my fingers, blinking twice to go back to my senses.
"Take care, love," he said, kissing my forehead.
I already went home after that and had my good night's sleep because he called me 'love' after so many years. It was like a lullaby. Music to my ears.
Weeks passed by until the day before Yanna's wedding came. We had to fly to Palawan in just one flight together with the visitors. Nauna na roon si Hiro and 'yong friends niya to see the venue. Haze was also there to help him.
"Tita-Ninang, clouds," Avrielle told me, pointing outside the plane's window.
"Do you like clouds, Avi?" I asked her, putting the magazine down. Yanna was napping beside her. Nasa gitna naming dalawa si Avrielle.
"Yes. I want to be a pilot! Like Daddy!" Avrielle giggled.
Akala ko gusto niya maging model? Nag-iiba ang gusto niya depende sa kung sino ang nakakasama niya. That was what Yanna said. We weren't pressuring the child to know what she wanted for her future. We will still support her no matter what.
Everyone went to their own rooms after arriving in Palawan. Kierra and Via stayed together, and then Sevi tsaka Luna. I stayed with Yanna in one large room. I heard Kalix couldn't come because may important siyang aattendan sa court.
"Are you nervous?" I asked Yanna the night before her wedding.
"Sino'ng hindi kakabahan?" She looked at me. "Sayang. Akala ko ikaw 'yong una kong makikitang ikakasal sa atin. Hindi sana ako kakabahan nang ganito kapag na-experience mo na."
"Well, shit happens." I shrugged.
I was about to sleep when I heard Luna's voice outside. I opened the door and saw her walking back to their room just beside ours. Nasa likod niya si Sevi na dala-dala 'yong tsinelas niya. Basa silang dalawa at mukhang naligo pa sa beach.
"I told you guys to sleep. Early tayo tomorrow!" I warned them.
"E, pucha, hinatak ako, e!" Sevi complained. "Sabi ko hindi ako maliligo, tinulak ba naman ako! Kung hindi ka ba naman isa't kalahating hayop, Natasha."
"Ayos mo, Vincent." Luna emphasized Sevi's second name too. "Tunog pangalan ng seven years old na kalbo."
"I shouldn't have put you together." I massaged my head. "Sleep na kaagad ha," I reminded them before closing the door again.
"Ikaw kasi, eh!" Narinig ko pang sisi ni Sevi sa labas ng pinto.
We woke up early in the morning to prepare for the wedding. Inaayusan na si Yanna sa loob ng room pagkabalik ko galing sa may beach side. Chineck ko lang kung okay na lahat. Last week, Hiro's mom announced the wedding, so rumors about Avrielle, and I got cleared. Because of that wedding announcement, they wanted me to marry Haze too!
I did my own makeup already and wore my dress before helping Yanna with her wedding dress. She looked so fabulous. We took some photos along with the girls and Sevi. Arkin couldn't come because of his busy schedule... Not like it was anything new. Dahil ba talaga roon or he had other reasons?
"Galingan mo, ah," Kierra told Yanna.
"Magkaka-asawa ka na..." Via touched Yanna's shoulders. "Tumatanda ka na, ah. Bakit ganoon?"
"Yanna, sa you may kiss the bride, easy-han mo lang, ha. May mga bata. Keep it PG," Luna reminded her.
Yanna just rolled her eyes. She was busy reading her vows over and over again. In just a few more minutes, we already went to the venue and lined up to walk on the carpet. I looked at Haze in front of me.
"Hello, princess," he greeted me, smirking.
He was wearing a black tux that was personally tailored for him because it hugged his body well. Shan went beside me and offered his arm while waiting for our entrance.
"So, are you back together?" Haze asked me again.
"Not completely," I honestly answered. "Why? Are you waiting for us to get back together or something? Are you playing Cupid now?"
He scoffed and rolled his eyes. "That's not my thing at all."
Soon after he was gone, I walked with Shan and went to our seats. Before Yanna came in, Avrielle walked first, throwing flowers while smiling. She looked excited. When Yanna walked in with her mom, I felt like crying my eyes out. Her grandma already passed away years ago, so wala rito.
"Sam, hindi pa nagsisimula, naiiyak ka na." Via handed me a handkerchief. I just laughed and took it to wipe my tears. Pakiramdam ko ako 'yong kinakasal, ah!
Hiro smiled and looked away because he had the urge to cry too. Yanna stopped in front and held on Hiro's arm. Shortly after, the ceremony already started, and I did what we practiced. Pumupunta ako sa harapan kapag kailangan. I cried during Yanna's vow because it was one of the moments when I saw her being emotional. She poured her heart out in words.
"I choose you always and in all ways. I, Ashianna Kim Fernandez, take you, Akihiro Leonel Juarez, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, from this day forward until death do us part."
She wiped her tears with the back of her hand. I had to look down to wipe my tears too. Because Yanna cried, Avrielle cried with her too. She thought Yanna was hurt or something. Sevi had to go to Avrielle to carry her with him, pinapatahan.
I felt so emotional the whole wedding, and I couldn't help but think that if I didn't break up with Clyden, we would be in front of the altar too. Mas mauuna pa kami kay Yanna. I wanted to spend my whole life with him, too, but we still couldn't right now. Both of us needed to be stable first. It wasn't the right time.
They had their first kiss as husband and wife. I felt so happy for them. After that, I went back to the hotel room to help Yanna change into a casual dress while everyone went to the reception. I suddenly gave her a hug before leaving, and she hugged me back.
"I love you always," I whispered.
"Mas pinapaiyak mo 'ko kaysa kay Hiro, Sam." Yanna laughed. "I love you too! Huwag mo 'ko iiwan kahit kailan, ah."
"Of course." I nodded and let her go. "Now let's go. Our makeup will be ruined."
We went to the reception and started the program by doing a dance dedicated to Yanna. It was just a simple dance from the bridesmaids, and then 'yong boys naman. Later in the program, I was called to send a message to both of them as Yanna's best friend. I already prepared for it, but I still felt nervous.
"Well, hey to both of you," sabi ko habang hawak ang microphone. "So... I don't know how to start. I just want to tell you, Hiro, that I am Avrielle's first Dad." The audience laughed with me. Hiro gave me a smile.
I had so much to say, but I couldn't put them into words. I just said what was on my mind.
"I actually hated you back then because I saw how Yanna cried her eyes out every night because of you. Ever since you started that little 'deal' between the two of you, I already knew that she would fall for you because who wouldn't?" I shrugged. "But she wanted to prove that she was strong. Ayun, tanga siya, e." They laughed again.
"Atake ba 'to?" Yanna raised a brow.
"But kahit tanga siya, she loves you so much. Hiro, please take care of my best friend. Not that you need me to remind you, but she's very special to me. She may look so strong on the outside, but she's also fragile, so please stop making her cry because of pain. You can make her cry for other reasons..." I winked playfully. "Kidding aside, I wish genuine happiness for both of you. Raise Avrielle well. I will always be here if you need any help. Cheers."
I raised my glass before going back to the table. Next up was Shan's turn. He looked like he also didn't know what to say. Haze definitely displayed the same facial expression when it was his turn to speak. All he did was tease Hiro about twisting Yanna's schedule in the airline.
We ate and then finished the program. It was already time to drink. It wasn't a very private wedding since Hiro's mom also invited some of their friends and relatives. There were also some business partners invited. May mga kaibigan din siguro ni Haze. Kami-kami na lang magkakasing-age ang natira. Avrielle already went back to the room with Hiro's mom.
To: Doctor Ramirez
Are you done with your shift?
I was just standing there in the corner, watching the girls have fun while waiting for Clyden's text.
"Champagne?" Haze suddenly appeared beside me, handing me a glass.
I took it and just held it while staring at the visitors. "Thank you. What are you doing here? Go have fun with them."
"I'm trying to find my type." He shrugged and looked around. "Can you recommend someone for me?"
I also looked around for some women that would suit his type. I definitely skipped the girls, of course! Hindi sila pwedeng maging target ni Haze! Never! I would smack his face with my fist!
"How about that one?" He pointed at the man in a tux holding a bottle of whiskey. I wasn't familiar with him, but he looked really attractive.
"For me?" I asked, confused.
"For me, dummy." He chuckled and took a sip of his champagne.
"Oh... I thought you liked women." Damn, I didn't know.
The side of his lips rose, forming a smirk, but he hid it underneath his glass. After taking a sip, he looked at me again and leaned closer, holding my chin.
"Yeah, I can do both." He whispered in my ear and gave me a wink before walking away to walk toward the man he was pointing to earlier.
I just smiled at myself and went to the girls. They were socializing with the other guys, so I joined their table.
They were already playing truth or dare like teenagers. Sumali pa si Hiro at Yanna, and all of their dares were so wild and dirty. I chose truth earlier when the bottle landed in my direction. They just asked if Haze and I were in a relationship, and I said no.
"Truth," Yanna answered. "Para maiba naman."
"Sino'ng first kiss mo?" Luna asked and laughed hysterically because she already knew the answer.
Yanna nervously glanced at Hiro before taking a shot, refusing to answer the question. I saw Hiro whispering. Tinatanong siguro niya kay Yanna but she just shook her head. I looked at Sevi and saw him pinching Luna's waist.
"Aray ko, gagong 'to!" Luna hit him on his arm.
They spun the bottle again until it landed on me. "Truth," I told them.
"Nag-truth ka na kanina. Dare na ngayon," Shan said. What? May ganoon bang rule? Were they trying to fool me?
"Okay." I sighed heavily. It was Kierra giving the dare, so it should be okay. "Dare na. Geez, we're not teenagers anymore."
Luna leaned and whispered something to Kierra. Via also joined, and I saw her shaking her head. What? Was it that bad?! Kinabahan kaagad ako!
"Okay!" Kierra went back to her seat. "Send an extreme confession to the last person you texted! Something you haven't told anyone yet! Kahit si Yanna!"
What the heck? I checked my phone again, and the last person I texted was Clyden. I didn't know if I would be glad or not! What kind of message should I send?! Damn! I started typing... pero hindi ko alam ang sasabihin ko.
Bahala na.
To: Doctor Ramirez
I still want to marry you and have kids with you.
I closed my phone and put it above the table before covering my face in embarrassment. They all laughed at me after checking the message that I sent.
"Napaka-wholesome naman," reklamo ni Yanna.
"It's an extreme confession!" I defended myself.
I stood up to get some more wine. While drinking one, my phone beeped. I almost choked on it, making me cough.
From: Doctor Ramirez
Are you drunk?
Oh my gosh. That was a better excuse, but I didn't want to lie.
To: Doctor Ramirez
It's a confession.
I was so nervous when I sent the message. He replied so fast! My eyes widened after reading his reply.
From: Doctor Ramirez
Do you love me?
I stared at my phone for a long time, typing 'Yes' but after remembering that I would leave for New York, I deleted it again.
From: Doctor Ramirez
Nevermind. Don't say it. It's better this way.
