Forbidden Love [EDITING]

Epilogue

After 2 years

I am wearing backless above the knee red dress with silver heels and my white coat. Nakatingin ako sa mirror saka ngumiti. Now I'm ready to go when someone open the door.

"Hi Axein!" nakangiting sabi sa akin ni mama and I just smiled back to her through the the mirror while I was busy fixing my necklace.

"You look... beautiful, anak." humarap ako sakanya at binigyan siya ng tipid na ngiti.

"Hi everyone." Bati ni Wendy na pumasok dito sa may office ni mama.

"Hello Doc, everyone's already at the conference room." pagpapaalala naman ni Wendy "and by the way you look good Doc Alexein stop looking at the mirror." asar na dagdag niya na ikinatawa namin ni mama.

May conference kasi ngayon sa hospital na dito and every medical member is required to dress nicely-- well except sa mga may duty ngayon kasi may mga bisita kaming mga doctor galing sa US because USL is planning to have a partnership with Boston Hospital where both hospital can help each other such as high tech machines from US and doctors can come here in our hospital for experiences.

"Sasama ka ba sa meeting?" I just rolled my eyes. "Err ma'am I'd rather make some rounds." I said sarcastically, my mom chuckled and then she left.

Ramdam ko ang titig sa akin ni Wendy. "What?" tanong ko sakanya at napansin kong nakatingin siya ring finger ko. It was my "fake" wedding ring nung kinasal kami ni Lexi sa fourth anniversary namin.

"You're still waiting huh." panimula niya kaya binaba ko yung powder ko at humarap sakanya.

"Magmula college hanggang ngayon, Ilang taon ko na siyang hindi nakakasama, hindi nakakausap at walang balita pero ewan ko. I can't love someone in a romantic way. Siya lang. It's like she's the person who's made for me." nakangiting sabi ko.

"Paano kung may iba na siya?" straight niyang tanong na ikinawala ng mga ngiti ko. "Paano kung yung taong matagal mo ng hinihintay may iba na?" Natigilan ako sa tanong niya.

Kinabahan.

Walang assurance ang meron sa amin ni Lexi.

Paano nga kung yung taong matagal ko ng hinihintay ay may mahal ng iba?

Paano naman ako?

Hindi ba choice ko rin ito?

Dahil pinili kong pakawalan siya para ayusin ang sarili niya.

At ayusin ang sarili ko.

I want to improve myself in order to be deserving the love she's going to give to me.

I shrugged my shoulder. "I honestly don't know." mapait na sabi ko. "Then give up now, mas onti yung pain." umiling ako agad.

"How can I give up the only person I love?" tanong ko sakanya pero tinignan niya lang ako.

I just finished my round here in our cardiology department. "Doc, tapos na kayo?" sabi ng isang staff nurse at ngumiti lang akong nilagay sa counter yung mga chart ng patients.

"Hindi pa po tapos yung conference, Hindi ba kayo pupunta dun Doc?" ngumisi si Wendy sa akin sa biglang pagsulpot niya and I just gave her a bored look.

"Sorry but I'm not into boring slash business meetings, So no for me." sabi ko at umalis na at dahil tapos na yung rounds ko, I'd rather go out.

"Hoy saan ka na naman pupunta?" rinig kong sigaw ni Wendy habang sumusunod siya sa akin.

"You know you can't go anywhere unless the meeting is done." sabi niya at tumango tango lang ako.

"I have a photoshoot right now, just tell my mom I went home already." inunahan niya ako at pumunta sa harap ko kaya napahinto ako ng hakbang.
