Countless Mistakes

Prologue

One last patient and i'm done.

I looked at my watch and sighed while waiting for the next patient to enter the room.

It's 11:30 AM

I only ate sandwich for breakfast, so I was kinda hungry right now. Hindi rin ako nagbaon dahil half-day lang ako magtatrabaho ngayon. That's because, I have to visit my someone this afternoon.

I felt my phone vibrated so I took it out of my robe and opened it. I got a message from him...

"I'll pick you up later, sabay na tayong maglunch :-)"

I caught myself smiling. I was in the middle of typing when the door opened.

A very familiar man entered the room that made my heart jump out of my ribcage.

I... literally froze.

Pakiramdam ko ay biglang nanlamig ang buong katawan ko nang makita kung sino taong nasa harapan ko ngayon. Sinong mag-aakalang magkikita pa kaming muli matapos ang napakahabang panahon?

I'm very sure that my face looks so pale right now. I can't... I can't really describe what am I feeling. Ramdam ako ang malakas na kabog ng puso ko.

And then a seven-year-old boy with the same face as his followed.

I looked closely at the child.

It's probably his son.

I suddenly felt a heavy feeling on my chest. Yung parang naninikip...

I was surprised- no, more like shocked to see him again after all these years. I tried my best to calm myself pero parang hindi ito nakikisama. I can't control the mixed emotions deep inside my heart and mind. Right now, I felt so nervous, I couldn't even explain why.

The guy - He's wearing a tuxedo while holding an attachécase on his left hand. He looks so decent and formal. I can't help but to think if he's still the same person I knew, years ago.

He was just staring at me with emotionless eyes. Like we didn't share anything in the past.

I was speechless.

I looked at him. He still has the most handsome face i've ever seen. Those magnificent brown eyes, perfectly pointed nose, sharp jawline, thin pinkish lips and thick eyebrows that gave him a very masculine look. His hair was brushed neatly, malayong-malayo sa nakagawian nya noon.

He looks nice and respectable.

Good for him.

We stared at each other for a couple of seconds before he spoke. "Good morning, doc." His deep masculine voice welcomed my ears.

But it was so cold...

Hindi kagaya ng dati.

At that moment, my mind was in complete chaos. Everything came back like flashes. Lahat ng mga alaalang matagal ko nang ibinaon sa limot ay muling nagbalik na parang kahapon lamang nangyari. Like a kaleidoscope of memories, it all comes back.

Every smile, every laugh, every pain, and the COUNTLESS MISTAKES we did for our stupid selfish love that eventually ruined are so-called family and broke us both.

Yes, our past may came back, but my feelings won't.

Because one thing is for sure.

I will never ever be the same person whose dumb enough to risk everything for LOVE.

And for him.
