Chapter 35: Make You Mine

Flynn's PoV

I took a deep breath before entering the building.

This is so nostalgic. The last time I went here was because I was in desperate need of something, and now, I'm entering this building for something that needed my attention.

Brushing that thought off my mind, taas-noo akong nag-lakad papasok ng building. Everyone was looking at my white coat as I passed by.

After three years, wala pa ring nag-babago rito. Everything is still the same as it was before.

Dumiretso na ako kaagad sa information desk at nakita ko ang isang pamilyar na mukha na makalipas ang tatlong taon, ay ngayon ko na lamang muling nakita.

A smile was immediately plastered on my face as I walked a bit faster to greet the man who is now smiling brightly at me.

"Hey!"

I hugged him and he hugged me back as well. Nang mag-hiwalay kami ay hindi pa rin mawala ang mga ngiting nasa labi namin dahil sa biglaang pagkikita naming dalawa.

"I mean, I know that the US branch would send a female doctor here, pero 'di ko naman akalain na ikaw pala ang sinasabi nila! This is a total surprise, Flynn!"

Napahagikgik naman ako dahil sa sinabi niya at saka siya hinampas ng mahina sa braso. Looks like he hasn't changed even a tiny bit. Clad is still the same old Clad.

Thankfully, Clad coped up with his situation fast. In the end, naisip niya sigurong wala rin naman siyang magagawa kung hindi tanggapin ang kompanya nila dahil walang mag-hahandle nito kung hindi siya.

I'm just glad he's happy and content with his situation now. At the very least.

"My gosh! I'm the one who's surprised here! No one informed me na pupunta pala ang may-ari ng Villaruel General Hospital dito. I thought you were too busy to even bother!"

"Oh, no. Well, since it's a big meeting involving the investors of this hospital, my presence is needed here. Kahit nga si Duke ay kasali sa meeting na 'to."

I awkwardly bit my lip inwardly bago ko iniwas ang tingin ko sa kaniya. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin ako masyadong sanay na napag-uusapan si Duke, lalo na't sinusubukan ko nang mag-move on.

For all I know, baka nang ipadala ko sa kaniya ang annulment papers namin ay agaran niya na 'tong pinirmahan at ipinokus ang sarili sa trabaho.

A pang immediately crept inside me when that thought slid in my mind, kaya naman inalis ko na 'to sa aking isipan.

"Oh, sorry. You still haven't moved on much from him, have you?"

Binigyan ko na lang siya ng isang awkward na ngiti bago ako napatungo. I know that I'm being stupid, considering na ilang taon na rin naman buhat nang mag-hiwalay kami.

I admit. I really haven't thought of moving on from Duke. Sa loob ng tatlong taon na nagka-hiwalay kami para mabigyang space ang isa't-isa, sinubukan kong mag-move on dahil alam kong 'yon ang unang gagawin niya.

But I just simply failed.

Yes, it hurts knowing that Duke and I eventually parted ways without us establishing a nicer relationship. For some reason, it still hurts.

But I kept cherishing every moment we had. The good ones and the bad ones too. Knowing myself, hindi ako nagmomove-on hanggang wala akong rason para mag-move on.

"How is he?"

"Oh, he's fine. Just a tad bit brutal than before."

"Huh? Why?"
