What happened at the bar caused a big stir to the public. Mabuti na lang ay nakaligtas ang mga kasama ni Leander na doktor. But I bet they were quite traumatized by what happened.

The hospital also told Leander to take a week off. Lalo na no'ng malaman nila na siya ang primary target ng gunmen.

And it has been three days since that incident happened at tatlong araw na rin siyang nalalagi rito sa opisina ko. The first time Kristine saw us acting all familiar with each other ay nagulantang pa ito. I can remember her words clearly.

"Oh My God! Ma'am? Doc? What is the meaning of this?!" She exclaimed.

She dramatically gasped as if she just caught her husband cheating on her with a friend.

Tinawanan ko lamang siya and let Leander do all the talking.

"Doc, don't tell me kayo na ni ma'am sa wakas?" She excitedly ask Leander.

"Okay, I won't tell you." Sagot naman nito sa kaniya. At bigla na lang siyang tumalon-talon habang tumitili.

"Hihimatayin po yata ako. Sandali, am I dreaming? Finally, finally, finally!" She beamed while clapping her hands.

And ever since that day ay hindi na niya ako tinantanan nang ma-laman niyang mga titig.

Gaya na lang ngayon. She entered my office to give me some documents pero nang kunin ko ito mula sa kaniya ay nanatili pa rin siyang nakatayo sa aking harapan.

"Kristine, you know I'm a busy person." I said in a warning tone.

"Ma'am, kasi naman po hindi ako makapaniwala. Akala ko po ba walang something sa inyo at never magkakaroon ng something sa inyo? Don't get me wrong ma'am, ha. I'm so happy pero ma'am, chika ka po. Ano pong nangyari?" She even settled herself down on the chair in front of my table.

She badly want to know how Leander and I ended up dating. But I can't tell her that it happened right after a horrendous and exhausting car chase.

"Actually, Leander confessed his feelings first. And he was so sincere about it so I gave him a chance." Kaswal kong pagkukwento kay Kristine.

"Ma'am naman. Ang boring nang pagkakakuwento mo. Wala po bang touch of romance diyan?" Reklamo pa niya. I rolled my eyes lazily at tinawanan niya lang ako.

"Fine. Alam ko naman pong wala kayong sweet bone. Kay Doc na lang po ako magtatanong, baka mag-iyakan pa kami. Bye, ma'am." She said in a playful manner at lumabas na ng opisina ko.

I continued my paperwork while thinking about our investigation regarding the identity of Incognito's masked boss.

I have two primary suspect. Benjamin Rosal and Sarto Silquori. Pero kung pagbabasehan ko ang mga bagong ebidensyang nakuha ko, it is most likely to be Sarto Silquori. We just need to confirm about the tattoo.

Agad naman akong napaangat ng tingin nang biglang bumukas ang pinto ng aking opisina at bumungad do'n ang nakangising si Leander.

I exhaled deeply and shook my head. Siya lang pala. And it looks like there's no problem, seeing how he's all smiles right now.

"Leander, just because we're together now does not mean you can just barge into my office anytime without knocking first." I scolded him. Mukha namang nakuha niya agad ang point ko.

"Oh, right. Sorry, my bad." he apologized at agad na tumalikod at lumabas nang opisina ko. Naguluhan pa ako sa kaniyang kinilos but then I heard a knock on my door.

"May I come in?" rinig kong tanong niya mula sa kabilang linya. I did not notice a smile that has formed on my lips at napailing na lang.

"Yes, you may." Nakangiti kong sagot. He was slightly giggling when he opened the door and peeked inside with his head first.
