Zevran







My phone has been missing. I've been searching for it in my pocket since last night, but I can't find it. I'm sure I only put it in my pocket. I thought maybe it got lost while we were at Livia's house. But how could it disappear? My pocket is too tight, and it's impossible for it to fall without me noticing.







Ang Dell XPS 15 laptop ko na lamang ang ginamit ko pansamantala sa pag-contact ng mga kakilala ko. I've individually updated them on the situation regarding my lost phone and my endeavors to locate it. It's my only phone because I'm not really interested in gadgets. Mas interesado ako sa mga sasakyan. Ngunit kahit ganoon pa man, gamit ko pa rin iyon at hindi iyon kailangang mawala.







Kasalukuyan akong nakasuot ng professional attire ko patungo sa ospital. Along with a white long coat, I'm wearing a plain black blouse that fits snugly inside, and formal trousers. I'm also carrying my medical bag, where I keep medical equipment such as a stethoscope, thermometer, bandages, medications, and other diagnostic instruments.







Nang makababa ako sa hagdanan ay nasulyapan ko agad si Elaina na may kausap na babae. Despite her back being turned, I quickly registered the lengthy, undulating, dark brown hair, the poised stance, and the crossed legs. It was unmistakably Valeria Agatha Caruso.







My tongue darted out to wet my lower lip as I clenched my fist. Once again, I felt an odd flutter in my stomach, traveling upwards to my heart --- a tingling sensation that's unique, unlike anything I've felt with other women. It's as though every part of me is electrified, right now. Damn it.







Even her back is pretty, her hair, the way she carries herself --- everything. Kahit siguro ay itabi siya sa libo-libong mga tao, alam kong mahahanap ko pa rin siya. It's as if my eyes were made for her. Dang.







Lumapit ako sa direksyon nila ngunit hindi sobrang lapit, sapat na para makita agad ako ni Elaina. A smile curved on her lips, revealing the chocolate thing stuck on her teeth. I grin.







"Sup, brother? We've got a particularly unique, significant, and dazzling guest today," she nudged Valeria to draw her focus. Yet, Valeria seemed engrossed in indulging in the chocolate pudding prepared by my cousin. Ang bango-bango niya. I'm keen on seeing her expression before I take off.







"Zevran is here. Ibigay mo na sa kaniya 'yung phone."







I receive no words from her. So she has my phone? That just means I really left it at their home? But how? I didn't even use my phone while I was with them all night. Despite the confusion, I kinda like the situation right now. At least, because of that, I'll get to see her. Oh, what a great morning. All thanks to my missing phone.







"Ikaw na lang ang magbigay, I'm late for work." I couldn't help but smile at the sound of her gentle voice. Yet, that's not all; I long to lay eyes on her and compliment her beauty. "I appreciate the chocolate pudding, El. It was really tasty. Maybe next time, you could show me how to make it, so I can share it with someone special."








"Ooohhh, who's that someone someone special? Hmm..?" Elaina teasingly said. Mas lalo akong nairita.





"Who is it?" hindi ko na napigilang sabihin. Gusto kong malaman kung sino ang someone special na tinutukoy niya. I want to confirmed that it's not a boyfriend nor a boy best friend.
