The Potential Between Us ✨ [MED SERIES 7] COMPLETED

Chapter 35

There were days that I dreamt of him, running to me, or me running calmly to him. Napapanaginipan ko rin na hinihintay nya ako habang nagluluto sya sa condo nya or sa condo ko. All our rendezvous, our mini trips to random provinces or our month long vacation in different countries. All were vivid, na parang damang-dama ko pa rin na kahapon lang masaya kami.

Days like these, I wonder what is he doing? Is he happy now? May bago na ba? Napalitan na ba nya ako? Is he still the reason I can't date properly?

Syempre, madali lang syang makakahanap. He got everything. Pero hindi din naman ata ako ganun kadali palitan. Four years pa lang naman. Or matagal na ba yun? Does distance really can change feeling immediately?

"Mommy!' Kale shouted. He just turned three, pero yung kakulitan ni Chester, kuhang-kuha nya. Minsan naiinis ako kasi kahit ugali man lang sa akin, pinagdamot pa. He's a spitting image of his father.

"What happened?"

He cried hard when I came from where he was staying.

"Ninang Trix is leaving. Can we go with her instead? We are going to be alone here." He said in a tantrum way.

I gulped hard. "Ninang needs to go. Do you want Ninong Jus to be sad?"

"No. But, I'm going to be sad."

Dom looked at me mischievously. "Uwi na kasi."

"Tss. Uuwi ako 'pag ikakasal ka."

"Noted," he uttered surely. Tss, mukhang nauuto nanaman nya ata yung ex nya or may bago kaya? Lately, I can't even ask his thing, I'm too busy with work and getting units for my business class.

Dom lowered his gaze and met the alluring eyes of my son. "Kale, wait for Nongnong to marry so you'll go home."

The kid nodded instantly. Lumabas naman si Trix at Jus sa kwarto. Hindi ko na sila hinatid sa airport kasi may duty pa ako. Instead of fellowship, I need to undergo few years for residency. Okay na kesa balik intern.

It was a cold night. I watched the moon intently praying we are seeing the same sky. Naalala pa kaya nya ako? Is he feeling the same thing? Like you're home but you're not. There's a missing link.

I named our son Kale Drake Chester. I added Kale because he sets as my moon when my life turned dark. Sya na lang yung liwanag ko sa buhay ko. Without him, I'll be lost. He anchored me just like how his dad did for me before.

"What are you thinking?" Dom asked and sat next to me. Nasa rooftop ako ngayon. Kale was sleeping serenely.

"Wala."

"You never asked me about him? Wala na talaga?" Malamyang sabi nya.

I angled my lips for a smile, I bet he knew it was fake. "Okay naman kami. Bakit kamusta ba sya?"

Halos magulat pa ako sa sarili kong tanong. Kamusta na ba sya? Took me more than 4 years to ask. I had to pretend that I no longer care and it no longer affect me.

"Back to the old playboy era. Mas babaero na ata ngayon."

I nodded. "Magtataka ako 'pag wala."

"Hindi mo tatanungin kamusta yung anak nya?"

"Hindi naman nya anak yun." Siguradong sabi ko.

Tinawanan ako ni gago. "Kilalang-kilala a. Hindi nga daw sabi ni Kuya Ethan. Kinakamusta ka nila minsan."

"Ni Kuya Ethan?"
