CHAPTER 23

"HELLO. CAN I SPEAK with you?" Anang pamilyar na boses na nagpaigtad kay Andrius habang dahan-dahan siyang naglalakad palabas ng Hospital sa tulong ng crutches. "I hope it's okay."

Bumaling siya sa nagsalita at nagulat siya na wala siyang naramdaman habang nakatitig sa kahawig na mukha ni Ivy.

His heart didn't beat fast like the first time he saw the Doctor.

That's odd.

But maybe not.

Looking at Iris now, there is a difference between her and Ivy. Hindi niya matukoy kung ano ang pinagkaiba ng dalawa pero hindi ito masyadong magkamukha tulad ng una niyang akala.

"Hey, Doc." Aniya habang ini-a-adjust ang crutches na hawak para makaharap siya rito. "It's nice to see you again."

Bumukas ang pagtataka sa mukha ng kaharap. "You ... know me?"

Now he's the one confuse. "Y-Yeah ... you're my Doctor but you didn't return to my room again after you visited me."

"Oh." She still look taken aback. "Is that so? Well, I was on duty yesterday." Then a wide smile broke her frowning lips. "That's excellent. I can't believe it actually worked. Did we talk long?"

Nag-isang linya ang kilay niya. "Yeah. Kind of."

"Did I smile?"

Tumango siya. "Yes."

"Marvellous." Iris exclaimed, clearly excited. "And did I call you by your name? Did I acted like I know you?"

Now he is totally lost. "You were there—why are you asking me?"

Mabilis itong umiling. "Nothing. Don't mind me." Then she smiled again. "Do you have a ride to your Hotel?"

Kunot pa rin ang nuong umiling siya. "Why are you asking?"

Iminuwestra nito ang kamay sa magarang sasakyan na nakaparada sa Parking lot ng Hospital. "That's my ride. Let me take you to your Hotel."

Kaagad siyang nakaramdam ng pag-aalangan. "Ahm... no thank you—"

"Sorry. I don't take no for answer."

Wala sa sariling mahina siyang natawa. "Just like Ivy."

"Yes." Anito na may bahid na ngiti ang mga labi. "But I can assure you, we are different in many ways. And I'm Iris Gonzaga-Racini by the way."

Napatitig siya sa kakambal ni Ivy na nakatitig din sa kaniya. "Why do you want to drive me to my Hotel?" Ang siyang naitanong niya dito dahil sa pagtatakang nararamdaman niya sa mga sandaling iyon.

Misteryusong ngumiti ang kaharap. "Ayaw mo bang malaman kung bakit nagulat ako sa sinabi mong nagkita na tayo?"

Namilog ang mata niya ng marinig niya itong nagtagalog. "M-marunong kang magtagalog?"
