ORPHIC

Chapter 4

Malika's POV

I'm on my way to Seoul Hospital Care. Patapos na ang shift ni Sander. Medyo late na rin pero okay lang, I wanted to see what Seoul looks at night. As I noticed that Amara stop her car I look at her.

"Dito na yung hospital, are you sure na hindi na kita susunduin? Late na rin." Amara asked. For sure magagabihan kami ni Sander.

"Nope, baka din bukas na ako umuwi. Siguro I'll book a hotel or kay Sander na matulog, for sure magagabihan kami nito." Amara sigh and raised both of her hands as a sign of surrender.

"Ano pa nga ba, sige sige ingat na lang kayo basta update me kung mag papasundo ka ha. Ikamusta mo na lang din ako kay Sander, matagal na din since last na nakausap ko yan."

"Yep, baka mag pasundo ako sayo bukas or papahatid na lang kay Sander. Ewan ko ba sainyong dalawa, kayo yung malapit sa isa't isa kayo yung bihira nag uusap."

"Hoy! Hindi ko kasalanan busy yan si Sander sa pagsagip ng buhay hmp." Natawa na lang ako sakanya and kiss her cheeks.

"Oo na, ingat ka ha and thank you talaga pakisabi na din kay Minho. I'll text you bukas. Bye."

"Ingat Aika, enjoy kayo." I nod and started walking to the hospital. As I look at my phone theres a message from Dad and Sander.

Sander: I'll just finish something, wait for me in the cafeteria of the hospital.

Dad: Where are you? Did you eat already?

I started to look for the cafeteria as soon I saw it I immediately walk towards it and sat on a vacant table. There's a lot of people here. I look at my phone and dialed dad's number, after the ring he immediately answered it.

"Anak nasaan kana?" I smiled as I sense the worry in his voice.

"Nandito po sa hospital."

"Ha? Bakit ka nasa hospital? Teka okay ka lang ba? Anong nangayre?" I chuckled. Ang advance talaga mag isip nako.

"Dad relax ka lang, I'm here because of Sander, he works here, remember, he's a doctor." Rinig ko ang pag buntong hininga niya.

"Oo nga pala, kumain kana ba?"

"Kakain pa lang, hinihintay ko si Sander eh."

"Okay, so where do you plan to stay there? I can book you a hotel or a condo."

"I will be renting on Amara's condo since she doesn't use it na daw."

"May condo siya? I thought she have a house?"

"She does live in their house pero may condo daw siya eh."

"That's good to hear, have fun in there. I'll go to sleep I have an early meeting for tomorrow."

"Goodnight dad."

"I love you anak, I wish you the best there." I smiled.

"I love you too dad, take care."

As soon as the call ended I stood up and went to the counter to order ice coffee. While sipping to my ice coffee I noticed that someone is in front of me.

It's a guy. He's wearing a black ripped jean, black pull over, black bucket hat, and black mask holding an ice americano.

"Excuse me, can I sit here?" he asked. I looked around and noticed that all tables are occupied. I nod and smiled at him and look back at my phone and texted Sander.

Aika: I'm at the cafeteria.

Sander: Okay, wait a minute.

Aika: Sure.

As I scroll to my Facebook feed I saw one of my friends shared post. "What will I be in my next life." And he will be a flower daw. Lol. Out of nowhere I click the play button to see if what will I be in my next life. A rock. I chuckled.

"What do you want to be in your next life?" my eyes widen as soon as I realize what I did, that came out of nowhere. The guy sitting in front of me seems to be unbothered by my question, he looked at me in my eyes though his face is half covered because of his hat.

"I'm sorry, that came out of nowhere." I shyly said. He chuckled.

"It's okay."

I looked away and thank God I saw Sander walking towards me. I immediately stand up and fix my things. Before I leave I bow my head slightly and he nodded his head.

"Wait." I pause as I heard him. He fixes his things and stand up beside me. I looked at him and saw him removing one of his bracelet which made me look at him confusedly.

"I want to be a rock." He said that shocked me and what made me more shocked was he is putting his bracelet in my wrist. "Keep it." After saying those words, he walked away waving his one hand as a sign of 'goodbye' while holding his ice americano. Damn.
