Married to a Neurologist (Medseries #1)

Chapter 1

Ilora's POV.

"Stop being like this Ilora Georgina, wala ka ng ginawa kundi bigyan ako ng kahihiyan!"

I sat down and pretended to be my usual nice self.

"I'm really sorry mommy-

"Sorry?! Alam mo bang yung ginawa mong panggugulo sa party ng Tita Rebecca mo ay sobrang kahihiyan satin!"

"Mom, wag na natin tong pagtalunan please, I was drunk kaya naman-

"Kaya ayun, sinira mo ang party ng tita mo! Hindi mo ba kaya akong patahimikin Georgina, hayaan mo lang matapos ang campaign season at ang election, tsaka ka na magkalat ulit!"

"Mom, parang wala naman akong nagawang-

"Yes, wala! I wonder sometimes kung anak ba talaga kita"

"Mom!"

"Get out of my sight, make sure you follow me Georgina, hindi na ako magdadalawang isip na itakwil ka, one more ruckus and I am done with you!"

I bit my lip to stop myself from shouting back and to cry my heart out.

Tumalikod na ako at pumunta sa kwarto ko.

Saktong nadaanan ko ang picture namin ni Daddy, debut ko yun. We look so happy as a family, masayang masaya kami not until Daddy died because of cancer two years ago.

That's when things changed. Mom had always been involved with politics pero before she was just running for local barangay positions, chairman sya ng area namin while my dad have a small business ng chain of restaurants.

But after dad died, mom became so invested in politics, hindi na sya nagkaroon ng oras para sakin, she didn't even bother that I am also grieving, parang sya lang yung nawalan. Parang sya lang yung nasasaktan.

So I lost my way, graduate ako ng marketing pero wala akong ideya, or wala akong ganang patakbuhin man lang ang negosyong naiwan ni Daddy. I am lost, so lost na ang naiisip ko lang ay maglustay ng pera, mag bar, makipag date at makipag make out.

I am Ilora Georgina Cruz, but most people call me Georgina, my dad calls me Ilora, it is from Hebrew that means light of God.

So far, I cannot see me as being the light of God, all I bring is disaster, disappointment, and disgrace to my mom's name.

She is running to be our city's mayor, they said she have a chance, but I am ruining it by being her badass-rebel daughter.

I am not really going against her pero sa tuwing pinapagalitan nya ako, doon ko lang nararamdaman na may nanay ako.

I was interrupted by the sudden vibration of my phone.

In one look, I saw my bestfriend's name. Winnie is calling.

"What now?" bored kong sagot.

"OMG, Georgina, you're not gonna believe this!" her voice sounded so thrilled.

"Kinakabahan ako kapag ganyan yang tunog mo, kakapagalit lang sakin ni mommy"

"So what? As if affected ka talaga, anyway I got invited! Doon sa Pilomona Bar"

Kumunot ang noo ko. I've never been there, it is highend, yun ang alam ko and malalakas at malalapit lang sa may ari ang nakakapasok doon.

"How did you get invited?"

"Well, one of my kuya's friend is getting married, and well, close ako sa kanya, kaya alam mo na connnnneeeectttionnnnnns"

"Yeah, right connections" sabi ko. "Pass ako, my mom would kill me if I party na naman-
