The Potential Between Us ✨ [MED SERIES 7] COMPLETED

Chapter 13

I watched him typed my part for my sgd tomorrow. He glanced at me from time to time then creased his nose. I just smiled like a kid. I must have saved the country in my past life.

"Nakakasawa ng mag-sgd," panimula ko. Kumakain pa rin ako, ang chill ko samantalang nananabon yung doctor na magfafacilitate ng sgd ko. "Pakasalan mo na lang ako."

He chuckled. "You'll have case discussion also when you're already a doctor. Almost everyday din may conference."

"I said pakasalan mo na lang ako."

He looked at me with a playful smile. "I will. Just do your dreams first."

I sighed heavily. "But, it's tiring. Araw-araw may quiz ako na tatlo tapos minsan dalawang sgd sa isang linggo. Worth it bang pagurin ko yung sarili ko ng ganito?!"

"You define what's worth it. Ikaw if gusto mong tumigil....tumigil ka. Pero anong gagawin mo?"

I rolled my eyes. "Be your wife?"

He laughed like I gave him the best joke of the year. "Baby, can you see yourself just staying home? I won't mind spoiling you..but can you see yourself not being a doctor?"

I gulped hard, his playful smile is not helping. "But, I'm tired."

"Then, rest. Hindi porket pagod ka titigil kana. Stop when you're done."

"Tss...as if I didn't know that graduating doesn't mean that I'll stop studying. Buong buhay ko mag-aaral ako. Ilang exams after boards. Ugh."

Tinitigan nya ako na parang tinitimbang nya ano ang sasabihin nya. His stares was fleeting.

"Then, stop. Hanggang maaga pa, tumigil kana."

"Ano na gagawin ko?" Mahinang tanong ko.

"I don't know what to do then. My whole life I dreamed of this. But, nothing is going on my way. It's not even what I expected it to be." I added.

He smiled softly. "Don't you think you're in the middle of what you've prayed for? Nandito kana. You prayed to be here, matagal, oo, pero hindi ba lahat ng gusto pinaghihirapan?"

"Ang dali lang naman sa mga movie. Bakit dito ang tagal. Ang hirap."

He pulled my chair closer to his. "It's hard because it's real. But, it's your choice. Stop or continue, it's up to you."

"Will you stay if I say I want to stop?"

"You'll just stop? But, you'll continue? Let's file a LOA."

I furrowed my brows. "I said will you stay?"

"Bakit yung lisensya mo ba papakasalan ko?"

"Bahala ka, pinapatagal mo. Pag ako naging doctor you'll have to wait for five years before you can marry me." I argued.

"So if ngayon? Papakasalan mo na ako?" Nakangisig tanong nya. Tss. Dela Merced and his smirks will be the end of me. Ang dali nyang napapasunod ako, I hate it. I hate it everytime he does this, but I love it even though  I hate it. Weird.

I didn't answer. I just smirked. Bahala ka. Pero nakakapagod naman kasi talaga. Sobrang excited na lang ako magchrismtas vacation. Pero kahit vacation magrereview ako kasi pagbalik ng school ng January, finals na for first sem.

"Ano, will you marry me now?" He questioned teasingly.

"Ring first." I said smiling. Para kaming tangang nakatingin sa isa't-isa. Kanina yung report ko yung topic namin.
