#LoveCheesyStory #LoveandMedicine Part 4 For the next few days, we did not talk. CJs plan to leave the hospital to stay in Davao was pushed through. Jini, my fellow intern, got really affected when she heard the news, she cried. Doc M, one of CJs friends, and a resident, said not to cry, and that a despedida party would be held at a nearby restaurant. He invited us to come. No hindi ako makakapunta, I said rather bitterly. Bakit naman, Doc M asked, Jin, kumbinsihin mo naman ang kaibigan mo. Hindi pwede eh. Duty, I said sternly. Uhm, okay. Pero ikaw Jini, just text me kung makakapunta ka. Susubukan ko po, doc. Ok, sige, babalik na ako. Bye girls. Jini turned to me and gave me her signature interrogating look. Anong nangyari sa Davao? Then one of the doctors called us, Girls, you are needed here! Good thing Doc called us and avoided the question. I really had no time for any emotional drama. I immersed myself on the internship. Months passed and I heard nothing of CJ. Then reviews for the boards came. No update from him. Yes, I admit I was sad. My moments with CJ were short, simple, boring to the eyes of others, but for me it was nice...and special. CJ made me feel I was worth it...but his habit of leaving me on thin air for the second time around just made me question if he was playing with me or what. But then, I became too busy. I have goals to accomplish, and my goal was to become a medical doctor. Thankfully, I passed the board exam. Finally, I can finally put THE MD after my last name. My family and friends were happy and congratulated me. But despite me having this career-first motto and having a high on passing the exams, I felt that something was missing. To be honest, every evening I would wait for a message from CJ since the Davao incident. But I did not receive anything. And one night, I just cried - all the frustrations and regrets I had with CJ, I cried them all. This woman is crying. Im just a mere mortal, CJs a handsome rich prince who happens to be a doctor. I did not expect anything from him, but I cried because why did I allow myself to be deluded and attracted by his charms and then be left on thin air. Really, really. That was my version of heartbreak. The following days, things were fine, gifts and parties sprouted like mushrooms. My parents rewarded me with a trip to Singapore, and my relatives gave me bags, clothes, and money. Me and my batchmates attended various thanksgiving parties. I may have zero lovelife, but I was showered with love and appreciation from my family and friends. Another thanksgiving party came and we attended. Some of the residents, doctors, and nurses from the hospital where we have our internship came in that party. Of course, the usual food coma, singing, dancing and games happened. After the party, we went to my batchmates car, R, so that we can go home. As I was about to enter the car, Doc M (who was present in the party) approached me, gave me an envelope, and left immediately. I was puzzled. When I entered the car, Jini saw everything. When the car started, everyone was teasing me. Baka love letter yan ha? Ikaw D, ang haba ng buhok mo! Abot hanggang Batanes! Tumigil nga kayo! Jini then grabbed the enveloped quickly. Jini! She opened the envelope and read the content. Screenshot to ah...chat conversation nina Doc M at Doc CJ! Screenshot? Anong nakalagay? R asked. Buksan niyo ang ilaw! Fin (codename), our fellow intern whos gay, said. The lights in the car were switched on. Ehem, Jini switched to a fake male voice, Pre, wala na talaga akong pag-asa sa kanya. Kasi alam mo, narinig kong nag-uusap sina D at Jini. Ang tingin ni D sa akin, kuya...big brother, bro...BIG BROTHER ANG TINGIN NIYA SA AKIN! Alam mo yun? Kuya lang ang tingin niya sa akin! Hahahahahaha. Who said that? Si Doc M or si Doc CJ? asked by my batchmate who was on the passenger seat. Doc CJ! Jini said giddily. Everyone in the car screamed. Jini went back to her fake male voice, Kaya pala bigla kang nawala? Another batchmate, Fin grabbed the paper, Ako na nga ang magbabasa sa linya ni Doc CJ, Fin switched into his impersonation of CJs voice and accent, Part na yon sa reason ko bat ako bumalik ng Davao. I was doubting if babalik pa ako diyan, considering na kailangan ako ni lolot lola dito. You know that Ive been thinking to return to Davao for good, internship pa lang. When D came, shes a huge factor why I wanted to stay there. But when I asked D if she could be my fiancee, her face said no. Maling-mali ang timing ko. Sa simbahan ko pa ginawa! Palpak talaga. Ang tanga-tanga ko. Nag propose pala siya sa yo? Jini screamed. Wag kang eksenadora, di pa ako tapos! Fin switched back to his voice impersonation, After that wrong move, and her facial expression, I considered na sign na yon dapat na akong bumalik sa Davao at dito ko na lang ipagpapatuloy ang buhay ko. I tried to get over that mistake I did. I tried not contacting her, even though I really really want to. Gusto ko sana siyang kumustahin while shes preparing for the boards. But I do not want to be a distraction. Before I came into her life, she first wanted to become a doctor, Fin checked the paper, Wala ng kasunod. End of conversation. Tears fell into my eyes. I was touched. Then I noticed something. Teka, hindi naman to ang daan pauwi ah? Hindi ito ang ruta natin, I said that when tears were falling down. Doctors orders, dalhin ka daw namin sa Tagaytay, said R. Sinong doctor? I asked. Sino pa ba? Eh di si Doc CJ. Everybody in the car screamed. I did not know what to feel. Happy? Sad? Angry? I did not know. While on our way to Tagaytay, Jini and Fin fixed my face and hair. Everybody in the car was in a giddy, kiligs mood. Everybody was me what our story us, but I was silent because I do not know how to say things. When we reached Tagaytay, R brought us to a famous landmark in Tagaytay. We went out, and R approached one of the staff. Excuse me, I would like to inform you that Miss (my real name) is already here. Nasaan po siya? Fin pushed me. Aray! Dahan-dahan naman, Fin. Sorry, D. I fixed my dress and said, Ako po. The staff approached me and said, Please follow me, maam. The interns cheered for me while I was following the staff. Then she lead me to a certain door. Pwede na po kayong pumasok, she said. I opened the door, and what I saw surprised me. The room was filled with lights. And CJ was there, with a bouquet of sunflowers on his hands. He walked towards me, and smiled. I walked towards him too. When we got near to each other, I slapped him. Agay! He touched his cheek that I slapped, Why? Then I cried, Ang labo mo! Sorry. Bakit sunflowers? Bakit hindi roses? Mas bagay sayo sunflower eh, kasi malaki na ang mukha mo, tumaba ka ata. Baliw! And then he placed the bouquet on the floor and hugged me. I hugged him back. It just felt right. #MissStarbucks Outsider Female
