Ang Mafia Kong Pasyente (Completed)

Chapter 29

Percy

I SIPPED into whatever kind of alcohol I'm drinking right now. My fist clenched as I remember how Angel laughed with that guy earlier, not even noticing that they are the center of attention on that freakin' restaurant.

"Aahhh!" Binato ko ang baso sa pader at pinanood kung pa'no ito mabasag. My breathing became rugged as jealousy flow through my veins.

I stared at the night sky and sighed.

A small smirk played on my lips.

"Don't you worry Angel, I will get you back" I murmured.

I am fvcking going crazy without you by my side my angel.

I fvcking need to see your face...

ILILIPAT ko na sana ang channel sa iba ng maagaw nito ang atensyon ko---specifically the man who I never thought would see after a year.

Turns out, napakaliit talaga ng mundo and destiny has a funny way in showing it to you.

"Is it true that you're planning to buy the whole Trinidad industry of your uncle?" A reporter asked.

There he stand. Wearing a tuxedo and that matching pair of glasses which made him look so delectable and so damn fine.

Taena. Eto na naman ako, humahanga na naman sa kagwapuhang taglay ng taong nanakit sa akin.

He awesomely removed his glasses and tsked.

He stared dangerously at the camera and I felt my heart clenching and tumbling seeing his familiar pair of eyes.

Damn those blue captivating eyes of him.

Walang pinagbago, ang gwapo niya pa rin.

His lip is set into a thin line and his face is void of any emotion. "Buying it, isn't the right term. Owning it is what I will do in my own terms, of course." Then his lips turned into a cold smirk.

"It's mine in the first place anyway."

The media  erupted into more questions and conclusions but his guards pushed them away.
Not until one persistent reporter asked a question that made my heart stop.

"Are you dating the top model and the precious sweetheart of the Philippines right now, Ms. Janina Beltazar?"

His eyes looked troubled but his face remained stoic.

I bit my lip and waited for his answer. What the hell is wrong with me?! Hindi ko alam kung bakit ba pinag-aaksayahan ko pa ng oras 'to. But something in my gut pushes me to hear his reply til the end.

"No, I've never dated anyone from last year up to now." This time he look at the camera longingly. Like he's looking directly at me right now.

Last year?

Bumilis ang tahip ng dibdib ko lalo pa nang makita ko ang pangungulila, lungkot at pagmamahal---teka, baka nagkakamali  na naman lang ako.

I bit my lip as he uttered the next words that definitely shook my heart to the core.

"I am hers. Only hers."

The media roared with curiosity at his last statement but to no avail, his guards already escorted him to his car.

I sighed and started preparing my things for work. Wala na dapat akong pakialam sa kaniya.

Focus your mind on work, Angel.

BINIGYAN ko ng ngiti si Lola Nora na siyang pasyente ko ngayon. Matanda na siya ngunit hindi pa rin kumukupas ang kagandahang taglay niya.

Naisugod siya dito noong isang araw dahil bigla na lamang sumakit ang batok at nagsuka. At ang resulta ay high blood pala siya.

Nakakahanga nga kasi at the age of seventy-eight ngayon pa lang siya na-high blood unlike people nowadays na kahit sa murang edad palang ay high blood na.

Habang inaalalayan ko siya paupo bigla na lamang siyang nagsalita na nagpatigil sa'kin.
"Alam mo 'neng, bata ka pa pero nakikita ko sa mga mata mong labis ka nang nasaktan."

Itinuon ko ang buong atensyon sa kaniya at umupo sa upuang katabi ng kaniyang pansamantalang kama dito sa ospital.

"Pa'no n'yo naman po nalaman Lola?"

Nginitian ko siya at nagkunwaring hindi ako naapektuhan sa kaniyang sinabi at parang nakikisakay lang ako sa trip niya ngayon.

"Nakikita ko kasi sa iyong mga mata iha at kung paano ka pasimpleng umiwas sa mga lalaking nagpapahangin sa'yo. Pansin ko ring itinutuon mo lang ang atensyon mo sa iyong trabaho, pamilya at sa dal'wang binabae ngunit makisig mong mga kaibigan."

Natigilan ako sa mga salitang binitawan niya at saglit na natulala.

Tama. Tama ang lahat ng sinabi niya.

'Di ko alam kung ano ang iisipin ngayon. Kung manghuhula ba siya o magaling lang talaga siyang kumilala ng tao base sa obserbasyon?
