"Are you two Married?"Napangiwi ako, but I still remained poised. "Well, we still need to get to know each other, Doc," I said politely.Before we can even go further with their personal questions about our status, nagpaalam na ako na uuwi na. Nagpaalam na muna ako kina Dra. Nikki at Eunice at sa iba pang doctor bago lumabas ng pub.Nang makalabas kami sa pub ay halos gawin ko ng dalawa ang hakbang ko para hindi kami magka-usap ni Reeve. I don't want to talk to him. I'm still on the verge of throwing a fist on his face because of what he said in front of my co-workers.Pero nakalimutan kong kamag-anak pala niya si Daddy long legs dahil nahabol niya kaagad ako sa parking lot. He cornered me in front of my car."So, courting stage, huh? You told them that I'm your suitor?" His voice took on a familiar cocky lilt."What do you want me to say? Gusto mo bang sabihin kong asawa kita? That you're my husband?!" Bagamat kalmado ang boses ko ay madiin 'yon.His eyes twisted with irritation and
THE combination of ground coffee, citrus, and brisk, including the rays of the sunlight striking my face, woke me up. I slowly opened my eyes and yawned. Umupo ako at nagstretching pa ng bahagya."Good morning, mon amour!"Napatalon ako sa gulat at napasinghap nang makita ang lalaking laman ng panaginip ko kagabi. My dream was so weird that I couldn't look into his eyes because in my dream, we shared a mind-blowing kiss last night. It was so weird, and it felt so realistic!I felt my cheeks burn just by thinking about the kiss we shared in my dreams.He was leaning on the framedoor wearing his pajama, shirtless. Nalipat ang tingin ko sa malapad nitong balakat at ang namumutok nitong braso. The tiny stubble on his jaw looks dominating and sexy. Nang mas bumaba pa ang tingin ko sa katawan niya ay napalunok na ako dahil sa halatang umbok nito sa harapan ng kanyang pajama. I'm curious how long and thick the sword hiding inside his pajamas.I shake my head while still peeking at his crotc
THE next days were just similar set-up. I would wake up in the morning by Reeve. We will eat breakfast together then he will hand me my lunch and snacks that he prepared. After ko umalis ay doon pa lang siya aalis ng bahay. Sa gabi naman, he comes home early while I always get home late, so it's surprising that he's not here yet.Mas nauna akong umuwi sa kanya ngayon. I checked my phone to see if he texted or called me, but he didn't. Maybe he's busy at his restaurant.Mag-a-alas nuwebe y medya na kaya kumain na ako mag-isa. I cooked spaghetti meatballs with mozzarella cheese. Nasanay akong kumain na kasabay si Reeve kaya ngayon na wala siya, I suddenly felt lonely while eating.Pagkatapos kong kumain ay niligpit ko na ang mga pinagkainan ko para mahugasan na. I just put the extra spaghetti I cooked inside the fridge. Then, I went up to my room to take a night's shower and do my skincare routine. After I took a shower, I applied a sheet face mask. I took my laptop and searched for my
I went to the kitchen and reheated the spaghetti meatballs I cooked earlier. Then, I made myself a glass of milk and took two pieces of cookies in the cookie jar. Then, bumalik na ako sa kwarto.Nahigit ko ang hininga ko nang saktong pagpasok ko ay ang paglabas ni Reeve sa bathroom. This brute was only wearing white towel that covers his lower body!His muscular body was wantonly exposed, making me glued in my spot as my eyes surveyed his sinful body.Droplets of water were cascading from his hair to his face, jaw and neck down to his hard chest. Napalunok ako. He looks so hot that it makes me feel fervour."Quit staring at me if you don't want me to think that you're oggling with my body," he cockingly said when he caught me staring at him.Oh, God! Here we go again!Nagsisimula na naman siya ng panibagong bardagulan between us!I mocked him by laughing drastically. "Oggling? Are you serious? I've seen a lot of bodies, dead or alive, my dear husband." I paused and looked at him from
KINABUKASAN ay nagising ako dahil sa kung anong mabigat na bagay na nakasiksik sa'kin. I slowly opened my eyes and was caught off guard when I saw Reeve still on the bed, hugging me. His legs were caging me, and his arm wrapped around my stomach.He looks so innocent while sleeping.I took a breath and examined his face while he was peacefully sleeping. From his thick and dark eyebrows, my eyes went down to his hooded eyes. His eyelashes are thick and curly, which gives his amber orbs look mystical and eye-catcher. Natural na mapungay o parang inaantok ang mga mata niya dahil sa mga talukap nito. He has tiny stubbles on his prominent jaw, and he got an aristocratic nose. Ang mga labi naman niya ay manipis sa ibabaw habang ang sa ibaba ay makapal at natural na mapupula.The tattoos on his arm aren't big and not too many. Kung bibilangin ay nasa limang tattoo lang ang meron siya. Ang pinakamalaking tattoo niya ay ang snake tattoo niya.He looks very beautifully sinful.Huli na para maba
Marahas akong bumuntong hininga at dumiretso papasok sa A&E para mag-asikaso ng mga pasyente. Inilibot ko ang paningin ko sa buong emergency room, may mga umiiyak dahil sa sakit na natamo sa aksidente. Nagkakagulo ang mga nurses, interns, at mga doctor dahil hindi nila alam kung sino ang uunahin dahil sa dami ng mga pasyente.Several stretchers flooded the emergency room in an unceasing, back-to-back wave. I can see scattered blood on the head, nose, stomach of a few patients, broken arms, legs, noses,and everything related to vehicle collisions.THE flatline of the monitor pierced into my skull as I stared down at my patient's closed eyes and pale skin. Shane, my eighteen years old patient, was driving her car, heading to her university, when she was T-bone between two drunk drivers."Time of death: 2:16 p.m." My voice suddenly sounded bizarre than my normal voice. This line always makes my throat hurt.Life is really cruel and unfair.One minute she was alive, fighting for her life
DAYS passed, and I felt like I was living in a dream. Being Reeve's wife is a great feeling, no doubt. He wasn't kidding when he told me he wanted to work out our marriage. Because of his unceasing efforts, I learn how to be comfortable around him.He was able to melt my guard down.I smiled as I breathed through the cold night as I leaned on the railings of our balcony, watching the dark yet peaceful sky as it gave me peace after a long day of tiring work at the hospital.I'm wearing my usual pajamas— a pair of yellow satin shorts pajamas and a short sleeves button-down from my favorite brand. Since the fabric was satin, humahaplos sa balat ko ang malamig na simoy ng hangin.Narinig ko ang pagtigil ng tunog ng shower mula sa loob ng kwarto— his done taking a shower. My heart started to pound when I heard a door opened and closed. Kinagat ko ang labi ko at napainom sa gatas ko nang biglang pumasok sa isip ko ang taong nasa loob ng kwarto at nagbibihis ngayon.Ilang araw na kaming mag
DOC RJ, the senior physician, gave a twenty-minute orientation talk before we started transiting for our two hours journey up the mountain of Arayat, Pampanga. After the orientation, he introduced each one of us to each other since we came from different departments.Apat kaming license physician na nag-volunteer; two were surgeons, which includes me, two internal medicine doctors, four registered nurses, two licensed dentists, and two dentistry students. The rests were five nursing students.The whole trip was a hassle because the road was bumpy, but this kind of trip was worth it, especially when the reason was good.We arrived in one of the barangay in Arayat, Pampanga, just before dinner, and we were immediately greeted by Conrado, the barangay captain of their barangay. Conrado and some of his tanod prepared food for us in his humble abode to welcome us to their barangay."Maraming salamat po at ang baranggay namin ang napili niyong tulongan," magalang na sambit ni Kapitan Conrado
