"Tabitha!!!" I instantly ran when I saw her sitting outside together with Erille and Six instantly carried her, she had blood on her knees. "What happened?" I ask and check her knees.

"Nadapa siya habang kinukuha ang eraser niya, nakita ko na lang siyang nakaupo at may dugo sa tuhod kaya agd akong sumigaw," Rie said while scratching her arms, and avoid making eye contact with Six.

"Hindi ka dapat basta-basta sumisigaw ng ganon Erille, alam mo namang hindi biro ang ganon pagdating kay Tabitha!" biglang singhal ni Six kay Erille kaya natigilan kaming dalawa.

"Nagalala lang ak----," hindi natapos ni Erill ang sasabihin ng magsalita muli si Six, "Kahit na!" bakas sa mukha nito ang pagaalala kay Tabi, at mahigpit ang pagkakayakap kay Tabitha.

Alam ko ang pinanggagalingan niya, lahat kami ay nagaalala kay Tabi pero hindi naman ata tama na pagtaasan niya ng boses si Erille. "Sorry," umiwas ng tingin si Erille, alam kong nasaktan siya sa sinabi ni Six kaya nang subukan ko siyang hawakan, ay siya namang pagdating ni Lynus.

He instantly steps out of his car when he sees us outside, "Why are you all outside?" he ask, "Dada boo booo," My Tabi said, Lynus craned and tilted his head to check Tabi and when he saw Tabi's wound he smile and walk towards us.

"Let Doctor Dada fix Tabi's Boo boo," he gently said and was about to her Tabi from Six but Six insisted, "Dadalhin siya sa hospital," aniya, kaya kunot noo ko siyang tiningnan at nagsalita naman si Erille. "Nandyan na nga si Doc Lynus bakit kailangan pang dalhin sa hospital si Tabi?" tanong niya.

"Baka mamaya mag kumplikasyon siya," sagot ni Six, kaya ngumiti si Lynus, "I am her Personal Doctor Six, if you'll bring her to the hospital I'll also be the one to check her, so why bother bringing her there, just handed her to me"

"Hindi nga ako sigurado kung totoo bang si Tabitha ang trinatrabaho mo dito o si Louen," My eyes widened when Six said that, "Napakaisip bata mo Six, akin na nga si Tabitha!!!" sigaw si Erille na tila nagalit sa sinabi ni Six, kinuha ni Rie si Tabi mula kay Six bago inabot kay Doctor Lynus.

"Sorry, Doc, wag mo na lang pansinin," She whispered, while I stayed silent and watched how Six reacted, he hazed and darkly looked at Erille before he walked straight to his big bike and left.

I saw how Rie sigh when she watches Six leave, humarap siya sa amin at humingi ng tawad, "Pasensya na ganun talaga si Six, tara pasok na tayo sa loob," malungkot niyang sambit bago naunang tumuloy sa loob ng bahay.

"Are you ok?" I glance at Lynus when he suddenly asks me, I urge a smile and hold Tabi's little hand, "Yes, tara na sa loob Doc pakigamot naman ang Tabi namin," I said and cheered the atmosphere up.

Pagpasok namin sa loob nagpatuloy sa pagluluto si Erille at ginamot ni Lynus ang sugat ni Tabitha, I just watch them the whole time, kung ano-ano ang kinukuwento ni Lynus kay Tabi upang hindi nito indahin ang kirot ng paglilinis sa sugat niya.

Lynus became my Tabi's safe zone. He always makes her fearless when they are together. I know he's doing this because he loves Tabitha, I just can't lose him, but also I still can't give him a chance because I'm still drowned by someone's love.

I can still feel him, like he's all over my body, running through my veins like he marked my whole body to remember him every time.

I can't bear looking at other men because I always end up submerged in his arms. Leusam what did you do to me?

"Finish yehey! Tabi is so strong like wonder woman," bumalik ako sa aking sarili ng matapos nang gamutin ni Lynus ang sugat ni Tabi, umupo siya sa harapan ko bago kinandong si Tabi.
