The Millionaire's Runway Wife CHAPTER 20: Medical Mission (part 1)
"ARE you sure you're going to join the medical mission in Mount Arayat, darling?" Tanong ni Mommy for the fourth time.I am here in her office after I discovered there will be a medical mission for one week for the indigenous community in Mount Arayat, Pampanga. Since I was in college, nakagawian ko na talaga ang sumali sa mga medical mission para tumulong sa mga nangangailangan.When I went to the States, hindi ako nakapag attend ng mga medical mission dahil naging busy ako sa medschool. Ngayong ganap na akong doctor, I want to continue what I've started.I feel like I was born to help other people."Yes, Mom. I really wanted to join the medical mission this year. 1 week lang naman 'yon, mommy. You know how much I love helping indigenous people, right? So, please let me join this one," I heard her sigh before she pushed the form in front of me."Fine. Go, write your name in the list." I beamed and quickly scanned the written names that would be volunteering in the medical missi
The Millionaire's Runway Wife CHAPTER 22: The unexpected visitor
DAYS went by, and today is our fourth day here in Arayat, Pampanga. Nakakapagtataka na makitang nagkakagulo sa labas especially sa covered court. My eyebrows knotted when I spotted two pickup trucks and a familiar black mercedes benz in front of the court. The people, whether young or old, are lined up inside the court as if there's a celebrity inside."Doc! Good moning po," sabay-sabay na bati sa'kin ng mga student nurse nang makita nila akong papalapit sa pwesto nila.My lips peal a smile. "Good morning. . . What's happening in the court? May artista ba? Bakit ang daming tao sa loob?"They glanced at each other before they turned at me, smiling. "Hindi po artista pero mukha pong artista! They're having feeding program po,"My heart melts at that thought. "Really?""Opo, dra. . . May feeding program po sa covered court,""Oh," namangha naman ako. "Should we help them?" I asked."Sige po, dra. . ." We sauntered inside the covered court, and the first thing I saw was the logo of the
The Millionaire's Runway Wife CHAPTER 23: Liligawan niya ako?!
I STILL can't move on from what he said earlier. . . He wants to court me— as in me, his wife. A crew from his team called Reeve so he had to go back inside the covered court while I was left with my fellow volunteers.Pagkaalis na pagkaalis ni Reeve ay nagpasabog sila ng sunod-sunod na tanong sa akin. I don't have any choice but to answer all of them with a little white lie. I do believe that lying is not always wrong.I have to tell a lie to protect the truth.When we had lunch, I was really surprised because there were silver containers on the long wooden table from Zuriel's. I did not expect that he would come here just to ask if he could court me. It feels strange seeing him here for that reason. As usual, ang kasama ko mag lunch ay ang mga kapwa ko volunteers. Nandito rin sina kapitan conrado at ang iba pang tanod para makasabay namin kumain. When Reeve came back, all of my fellow volunteers sent their gratitude to him for the food. They welcomed him with open arms as he tal
The Millionaire's Runway Wife CHAPTER 24: Courting Stage
THE SUN arise with warmth and tranquillity. I woke up lightly, and this kind of morning was the best way to exercise and explore the beauty of this barangay. I quickly turned my head when I heard a knock on the wooden door.Nadatnan kong nakatayo si Reeve sa may bukana ng pinto habang nakahalukipkip. Ngayon ko lang napansin na humahaba na pala ang buhok nito habang suot ang gusot na puting sando at dark blue boxer shorts. Nalipat ang tingin ko sa malapad nitong balakat at ang namumutok nitong braso.The tiny hair on his legs looks sexy.Nang mas bumaba pa ang tingin ko sa katawan niya ay napalunok na ako dahil sa halatang umbok nito sa harapan ng kanyang boxer shorts. Damn, that bulge inside his boxer shorts!"Are you done staring at me, wife?"Napakurap-kurap ako at napaangat ang tingin sa mukha ni Reeve nang marinig ang kalmado ngunit malalim niyang boses. His voice took on a familiar cocky lilt.I raised my eyebrow even as the heat of embarrassment prickled my skin. "What are you
The Millionaire's Runway Wife CHAPTER 25: Heartbeat
LEILA, the granddaughter of the old lady we helped, thanked us for helping her helpless lola. Kinuha ko ang contact number niya para makakuha ako ng update tungkol sa lola niya. I want to know if she's okay.Pagkatapos ko ilahad sa kanila ang buong nangyari kanina sa palengke ay naghanda na kami para sa medical mission ngayong araw. Reeve, went back in the tiny house para magluto ng lunch namin."Maraming salamat po sa libreng check up at sa libreng gamot, doc." This is the last sentence I heard for our medical mission today.Time passed, and the sky turned pinkish purple as the sun slowly disappeared from the horizon until the sky turned black. What a wonderful sight to behold."Wife, It's dinner time," "Oh? What's for dinner?" I asked as I looked back at him. Nakatayo ako sa may harapan ng bintana habang pinapanood ang paglubog ng araw."I cooked Bangus belly in Teriyaki sauce, and cauli rice. I also made a steam banana bread," he retorts. Natakam naman ako kaagad sa putaheng nil
The Millionaire's Runway Wife CHAPTER 26: Closer Each Day
TRUE to his words, nanligaw nga si Reeve. Never in my life has someone courted me, but I'm not saying that I didn't experience having blind dates. I did have a few, maybe five or seven blind dates courtesy of my mom. When I started studying in medschool, doon ako literal hindi nakapagdate or nakapagflirt dahil masyado akong engrosed sa pangarap ko.I was too busy achieving my dreams to date and think about men.And somehow, I don't feel like dating because of what happened in the past that involved Reeve and me."Wife, your necklace." The bubble inside my dead burst when I heard Reeve's deep voice.I blinked when he fixed my necklace because it was on backward. He also strokes back my baby hair that was covering my face. Tumitig siya sa'kin saglit bago tumaas ang sulok ng labi niya."There you go," he muttered."T-Thanks." My cheeks flushed. His small gesture really makes me awe-struck.For me, those small gentures are more genuine than the grand gestures since you can plan or sche
The Millionaire's Runway Wife CHAPTER 27: Surprise
PASADO alas singko na ng hapon noong magsimulang maubos ang mga tao sa covered court. Finally, malapit na kaming bumalik sa Manila."Maraming salamat po, Doctora. Sana po marami pa po kayong matulungan na kapos palad," nakangiti ako habang pinapakinggan ang mga pasasalamat ng mga naging pasyente ko.They went here to meet me and sent their gratitude to me. Binigyan nila ako ng mga kakanin at iba pang produkto na gawa sa Pampanga. Tuwang-tuwa naman ako dahil natulungan ko sila."Walang anuman po. Masarap po sa pakiramdam na nakatulong ako sa inyo," I smiled genuinely at them. "Salamat po sa mga 'to." I pulled up the plastic bag full of Pampanga's delicacy.We took a group photo with other volunteers, which will be uploaded on the website of Areno. We bid our good bye to the members of barangay Arayat before we entered our cars.This time, I'll ride with Reeve. Si Doc RJ na rin ang nagsabi na kay Reeve na lang ako sumabay kung gusto ko. Pumayag naman ako dahil sa iisang bahay lang nama
The Millionaire's Runway Wife CHAPTER 28: Closer Each Day (PART I)
THE first rays of sunlight lit up my room, indicating that another day had dawned. I rubbed my blurry eyes and walked to the window. I pulled up the white curtain, revealing the pearly glow in the sky.Today is a rest day for all the medical volunteers. The Areno's director— my mom, gave us a two days rest day after the one week we spent on the medical mission. Today is a great day to rest and enjoy the freedom from the battlefield of my work.I took a deep breath before I headed to the bathroom to wash my face. I mentally listed everything I thought of doing today— yoga, cleaning the whole house, grocery shopping, binge-watching a movie, and maybe I can learn how to bake something!I was hopping on the stairs wearing a pair of ombre sports bras and leggings. I tossed my hair into a bun. I was holding a yoga mat when I bumped into someone. It causes me to drop the yoga mat.Napahawak ako sa aking dibdib dahil sa pagkagulat. "I thought you already left!" My eyes dropped at my phone to
