You were inside her house mas malaki siya from that guy's house. Niyaya ka ng boss mo na umakyat.

Binuksan niya ang pinto, it was very modern at may view ang balcony ni Madam. 'Taray!'

You saw see-through cabinet, it was full of awards, trophies, medals etc. 'Wow! Sana all na lang! Galing naman ni Ma'am!'

"Y/N? Let's eat na." She said. You kept on fidgeting, hindi ka sanay nang may kasama kumain.

You were alone for 7 years. Maski sa Unibersidad ay wala kang kasama since you chose to be that way.

"Hey, are you okay?" She asked. You politely say pero umupo ka na rin.

-

You two ate and enjoyed the view.

You shrugged at your boss' question, Usal mo.

"People pleaser ka ba?" She asked. You laughed.

"I've noticed kasi you pass paper works usually within the day or the next day kahit hindi naman pasahan. That would ruin your health. Maski trabaho ng kasamahan mo ginagawa mo, hindi lang 'yong kay Herreras." Pangaral ng Doktor mong boss.

You said.

"Fine. By the way, sasama kita sa shareholders meeting sa Batangas, isasabay ko na rin 'yong Team building doon." Tricia said and you noted it out.

Pinigilan ka naman niya, "Enough work, huwag mo na ilista kasi na-announce ko na two weeks ago." She said. "Hala Ma'am so--"

"Hep hep! It's fine, Y/N." She cut you off and gave you a paper at parang reseta na gamot.

Kaya't inilagay mo na lang sa folder ng doktora na pagmamay-ari mo at hindi mo na binasa para kung sakaling tanungin ka nito ay alam mo kung saan hahanapin.

You asked. She nodded, "Ma'am, bakit ang sungit niyo po?" You asked straightforwardly.

Naibuga niya naman ang coke niya, wala pang nagtanong sa kaniya niyan. Usal mo at kumuha ka ng tisyu para punasan siya.

Kaso sobrang lapit niyo na, palapit pa nang palapit ang mukha ninyo. Titig ay hindi maalis sa isa't-isa.

Napukaw ng atensyon niyo ang pagnl-notify ng selpon ni Tricia kaya napa-clear throat ang boss mong nasamid kanina.

She uttered, nauutal.

-

You two became closer as the conversation had happened and isang month na nakalipas, you're always with her and she kept on bringing you milk everyday, kung hindi iyon ay chocolate beverage.

You liked it either way basta siya.

Lagi rin siyang may reseta na ihinahabilin sa iyo ngunit hindi mo binabasa dahil hindi niya iniutos at baka private.

Tricia said as she smiled and went inside her office.

"Thank you po." You said, continued to work even though you were blushing.

Sige nga, sino ba kasing hindi magkakagusto kay Doc. Tricia? Hunghang lang ang hindi! Na sa kaniya na ang lahat, wala nga lang ang patience.

Kahit bugnutin siya ay nagugustuhan mo pa rin siya. Kahit pa wala ka sa kalingkingan ng kagalingan niya ay gusto mo pa rin siya.

"Ah, why does it have to be like this?!" Hampas mo sa sarili mo at type ulit.

"Am I confused? Or just denying?" You asked yourself. "Sinong nagde-deny?" You heard a voice say it jokingly and you looked up to see, it was Diether.

Your ex-boyfriend na iniwan ka lang basta-basta.

He said. "What do you want Sir?" You asked, not the "How may I help you?" line kasi ayaw mo siyang tulungan.

"Just want to say na investor na ako rito." He boasted while you just did an okay sign and continued on typing.

It didn't go unnoticed by Tricia's hawk-like eyes, she was very sharp.

Lumabas ang matangkad mong boss. "What are you doing here, Mr. Jimenez?" Ma-otoridad nitong tanong, natakot ka naman dahil hindi ito ngumingiti tulad ng kanina.

You felt like you were in a hot seat sa sinabi ng lalaki.

"Is that true, Ms. Y/N?" Tanong ng boss mo and you were surprised na she used the term 'Ms.' usually it wasn't there. You explained as you rolled your eyes.

Diether did his signature smile, were all his cheeks would fluff up, the one that made you fall before. "Y/N sige na kasi, I missed you." He said while Tricia was eyeing you, disbelief were written in her eyes.

Umiinom ka ng gatas na bigay ng doktora nang magsalita ito,Naibuga mo naman ito sa sahig at syempre dahil nga mabilis ka ay naiwasan mong matapunan ang kompyuter at papeles.

You uttered and got some tissues to rub it sa sahig.

Diether left, you dumbfounded and left at your table.

Nagulat ka nang makita mo ulit lumabas ang doktora, may dala nanamang reseta.

Was all you could say. "Wow, kaya pala." She said. "Give me all the resetas I gave you." Utos niya at sinunod mo naman.

She laid it all out, onti-onting nag-make sense on why her actions were that way.

1 Ibuprofen

2 LOperamide

3 VEnlafaxine

4 Yasmin

5 Ofloxacin

6 Ursodiol

Aside from the reseta, you saw the last receipt said with the nabiling gamot was,

She asked and you nodded at her. You defensively say.

She facepalmed herself. You tried to answer in a cool manner but your face says otherwise, you were blushing.

She hugged you and you embraced her too, savoring the moment.

-

Patuloy ang panliligaw sa iyo ng dalaga, she wasn't the bugnuting Tricia to everyone anymore though she still sometimes have a temper whenever hindi nakikinig ang mga empleyado.

She was all smiles at you when she came inside the office, yes, hinatid sundo ka niya but nauna ka lang pumasok. She gave you updates kahit busy siya and you appreciate that because you have overthinking tendecies.

She said as your brow raised. Was all you could and could not contain the redness of your face. She said as she winked and got inside.

You were curious and you saw a resetang nakadikit sa cup ng gatas.

You laughed as you read her letter, Dr. Tricia never cease to amaze you.

Kahit pagod, she would drive anywhere just to be with you like when you got sa Baguio, she went there just to see you, ang ending? Hindi na umuwi nang hindi ka kasama.

You both enjoyed the trip though at mahal mo na rin siya, you were just waiting for her.

-

Kinabukasan..

It was the day of your trip para sa team building. "Labs, let's go?" She asked as she got your bags and put it at the back of her car.

You went inside and she out the seatbelt around you, "Thank you." You said as nakita mo rin ang gatas sa gilid.

"Anything for my home." She said.

Dahil nga mahal mo siya, kinilig ka rin.

"Hahaha, babe." She said as she looked at your face na red as a tomato.

-

Nang makarating kayo sa resort ay humiwalay ka na sa kaniya, for the fairness sa mga ka-empleyado mo.

It shook you dahil after ng last chat niya nang pagdating ninyo na,"Hi, I'm here at my room na." Ay hindi siya nag-update muli.

'Baka busy, investors' meeting din 'to eh.'

You gave her the benefit of the doubt.

You tried to wait for her to visit everytime na may teambuilding kayo but she ignored you lang and continued to talk to them, you were saddened by the thought kasi she usually says hi everytime she sees you, may tao man o wala.

You chose to seat down na lang sa buffet table and ate alone.

You heard footsteps at your back kaya lumingon ka, You just nodded at the guy's question.

He asked. You said and continued to eat. He said at umiling ka naman and then laughed at his statement.

You scolded playfully. He raised his hands up, "Fine, fine, Señora L/N." You shushed him playfully and lightly tapped his shoulder.

"Tae ka pa rin talaga, Señor Juanitez." You joked, ganoon ang tawagan ninyo noon dahil nga magkakilala ang magulang niyo at siya.

Ang hindi mo alam may kanina pang nakamasid at naka-cross arms sa medyo liblib na parte ng buffet club.

Nag-walk out ito pagkatapos niyang makita kang kumain.

-

Umupo ka lang sa may dalampasigan, you kept on thinking about your loved one. You talked to yourself.

You were saddened by her actions.

Nagulat ka naman nang tumakbo papunta sa iyo si Diether. 'No nanaman trip nito.' You were confused.

You were then embraced by him. Pang-aaliw niya sa'yo kaya't pumayag ka at hinila ka.

Natawa ka naman. Dumayo kayo sa mga ka-empleyado mo na naglalaro ng agawan base.

"Luh, ba't ito nilalaro nila?" Tanong mo kay Diether, "Okay lang 'yan. Parang dati.." Sambit niya, napakamot ka na lang ng ulo.

Your co-worker said. 'Ha? Anong flag pole?' You were confused hinila ka naman ulit ni Diether.

Sambit niya. Binuhat ka ng co-worker mong babae noong hindi tumitingin sila Diether.

Sigaw ng kakampi mo. Sakto at nakasuot ka ng kulay pink na t-shirt.

Pinaghihila ka nila nang mailagay ka nila sa base ng kulay green. Sabi ng co-worker mong taga-team blue na nacapture rin ng team red.

Natawa ka na lang. Nagulat ka nang buhatin ka ni Diether, matangkad ito, matipuno, pogi, gentleman, may pagkasayad nga lang ang kababata mong ex.

'Bubuhatin din kaya ako ni JP 'pag nagpla-play ng ganito? Nah, hindi naman childish 'yon, seryoso pero love her though.' Sambit mo sa utak.

"Huy! Y/N we won!" Napatalon ka rin dahil kay Diether, nagulat ka naman nang niyakap ka niya.

Ang kaninang nagmamasid ay ngayo'y nakakuyukom ang palad, malapit nang mabasag ang tasa ng kape nito sa may balkonahe, naroon siya't nanonood.

"Ano? Hindi mo pa susuyuin?" Asar ng taong nasa likod nito. "Shut up, 'kala mo siya hindi gusto makipagbalikan sa ex." Sambit ng babae.

-

"Y/N oh si doc!" Sigaw ng ka-trabaho mo. Umiling ka na lang sa nakitang may kasamang iba ito at nagpatuloy sa larong volleyball dahil maggagabi na.

"Y/N, dito ka oh." Turo ni Diether at sinunod mo naman.

Naalala mo na hindi ka pa pala kumain ng pananghalian, naputol ng pag-iisip mo nang may sumigaw. "Y/N!" Dahil nga nasa laro ka ay tumalon ka ngunit ang bola'y mabilis at dumeretso sa mukha mo.

Mali rin ang pagkabagsak mo kaya ayun, DOUBLE KILL!

"Ah!" Hawak mo sa noo mo. Naramdaman mong may kirot na manhid sa paanan mo kaya't sumigaw ka pa muli. "Shit!" Sigaw ni Diether.

Nagulat ka nang may nag-ilaw sa mata mo, "JP?" You weren't sure how to act around her lalo na't masakit.

Binuhat ka na ng doktor. "No, don't bring me at--"

You said. She said with finality in her tone, takot ka kasi sa ospital.

"I-I want to be in my room." You said ngunit iling ang sagot ng doktora. "I have my tools sa room." She said as she then opened the door.

"Ayaw na kitang kasama, paasa ka." Bulong mo.

Natawa na lang ang doktora. "Why? Are my feelings a joke to you?" You asked. Nawala naman ang ngiti nito, "I could ask you the same thing, you kept on going out with that Juanitez dude." She said.

"First of all, I tried approaching you but you kept on ignoring me. 'Tsaka I finished my past with Juanitez, kasi nga I chose you kaso you kept on hurting me kanina pa I saw you with a guy, hugging! Now tell me, is it good to have me wrapped around pretty fingers?" You defended yourself.

"W-What?! No! We aren't together that guy likes your ex! And he's also an ex of your ex!" The doctor defended herself too and explained, "Walang kami nung guy, I was just busy balancing the team building and investor's meeting tapos may planning pa ako to ask you kanina if you would be my girlfriend together with Robert, 'yung ex ng ex mo." She explained.

"Sana man lang may update diba?" You complained and pouted as she began to put ice sa feet mo.

"I was jealous, I'm sorry." She said at hindi mo mapigilang ngumiti kahit masakit ang paa mo at mukha. "Alam mo pwede na ako tumalon." You joked.

"What?! Don't! That's dangerous kaya!" She scolded.

Natawa ka sa inasal niya. "Kasi I've been waiting for you to ask me kasi I love you too." You pulled the I love you on her.

She had her mouth agape, it was wide open. You smiled at her, "SO! SO! TITIGIL NA AKO SA PANLILIGAW? NO! I MEAN ARAW-ARAW PA RIN KITANG LILIGAWAN BUT YOU LOVE ME NA RIN?" She asked as she jumped when you nodded.

"Hon! I LOVE YOUUUU!" Sigaw niya.

"I love you too po JP." You replied. "Is it okay if I kiss you?" She asked and you nodded.

She kissed you and you kissed her back, you both felt butterflies in your stomach. It was an amazing day despite na kanina'y nagsesenti ka.

"Alam mo para pala tayong tanga, we kept on waiting for each other." You said when you two broke the kiss.

She laughed, "I don't care basta girlfriend na kita and mahal kita." She sincerely said as you were touched by her words.

She sweetly said as she kissed your forehead and continued on doing first aid at you.
