CHAPTER FORTY TWO

7:30 PM
I'll be in the office tomorrow so maybe you can drop by and update me with your designs... Alright, but don't forget to update Mr.Del Mundo too.Haaay... Ang bilis ng mga araw! I can't barely believe that i am already a REGISTERED NURSE!!! BIANCA ROSE MANZANO, RN...
Yes! I made it through the Board Exam. It feels very rewarding to know that i finally made it! It feels so good to see people proud of me. My boyfriend, my friends (who also made it...), my parents, my brother (well, let me just say all of my relatives) and.... yeah! I know you have one name in mind...
So what happened after I got my license? Nothing much. I'm still unemployed. but i've got the hardest job ever ah! Hindi din birong maging TAMBAY di ba? :
Mahirap kaya ma-bore!
So anyway, let me start with Alex. Graduate nadin sya, and he's about to take the board too, about two weeks from now. He's taking the review seriously naman so I am very much confident that he can also made it, he can pass the boards! He must! or else i'll kill him
nah! kidding! He said he feels anxious about it, but i told him not to 'coz that's just board exam! hahahaha mayabang na ba ako? Oh well! I have the right, or might as well let me have the right coz hey! I AM A REGISTERED NURSE ALREADY!
if i made it, then why can't he right? Rememeber he aims to pursue Medicine too? So there! He should be smart enough!... Anyways, enough about my expectations about his board exam, so kamusta naman kami? Well, we still manage to see each other alsmost everyday. After his review he's visiting me or he's inviting me out so we still have the so called "lovers quality time". So all in all, we're doing just fine.
What?! No no no! We have to meet that deadline or else the whole team will be held liable about it! Did Mr. Del Mundo submit his report already? Si mommy nga pala, she's not here anymore, she went back to my Dad's arms already.
Drama stuffs, namimiss na daw kasi ni Mom si Dad, it's just kinda sad that she's not here when I finally got my license, but they've rewarded me something that I've been longing to have, guess what??? It's my new baby, my lovely Susuki SWift car
and Kuya gave me a shopping spree! how cool was that?!
My friends also passed the examination. Some of them are noe an RN turned to be a CCA (Call Center Associatiates) so there! They're the ones who are already rich now! and me???
poor me! not earning even a cent!
So there! It's December already and things are in their proper positions...
Pare! Pumunta ka nga dito sa bahay ngayon! Problema sa designs eh.--- ha? alright, i understand, nakalimutan ko...Oh si Kuya, paalis yata...
Kuya, san ka?Punta lang ako kila Kirby.Yeah! I know. I forgot to mention him... Mr. Kirby Del Mundo...
Ah okay. Dito ka magdi-dinner?Hindi na, baka dun nalang. Ingat ka dito ha? Lock the door. I have the keys here with me.Alright. Just text me pag pauwi ka na. Ingat Kuya!And with that he left...
So how was he after that night? I don't know. Funny right? I am now talking about that name you have in mind. Well, since the night that Kirby and Alex had a fight, I never saw him since then. Never ever had any communications with him. And the most unusual thing that happened? He never went here in our house anymore. Like in cases like this, it's Kuya who's going to his house whenever they need to discuss something about office stuffs. i feel like i've lost a friend since that night. Nag kasundo nadin kasi kami ni Alex na hinid na ako makikipag usap kay Kirby para maiwasan na din namin yung mag talo, syempre as his girlfriend it's my responsibility to make him feel secured. But i think I broke that promise last August 28... And nobody knows it except from me and....
KIRBY.

BUZZ... BUZZ..1 message received
From: Kirby
Hey! Congrats! heard u passed the
boards. Can we talk?
I'll be waiting outside.
Dun pa lang sa thought na makakausap ko si Kirby ngayon nagbubutterfly na yung tummy ko. I feel nervous na ewan! LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ano ba 'to? Nakukunsensya na naman ako eh! Ano pag uusapan namin?
Look! Hindi kami nagkita ng matagal so ano? Pano? Ano magiging reaction ko pag labas ko. Lalabas nga ba ako? Haharapin ko ba sya? LORD sign po please?
I looked on my window and i saw him leaning in the wall beside our gate. Uggh! Wala nang sign sign! This is it! Hindi ko sya pwede pag hintayin don! Alright Bianx, take a deep super deep breath kung ayaw mong mawalan ng malay habang pababa ka pa lang sa hagdan..
So i went downstairs carefully, not making any noise 'coz Kuya's sleeping already. I opened the front door, and he looked at me, then he smiled. So i responded, a fake smile too... don't know! I'm scared at the same time excited. Goodness! Butterflies are really making my tummy troubled while I'm getting nearer and nearer to him. So finally i opened the Gate.
Hey. 
Hey.Nagising ba kita? Sorry if I did. No, it's okay. Ah pasok ka. I led him to the garden, baka kasi pag sa loob pa ng bahay eh magising si KUya. So nung naka upo na kming dalawa.
Ah can I get you something?Tss.. Okay lang ano ka ba? Stop being too formal.Naninibago lang siguro ako. hehe sorry.Nga pala, this is for you.He took out something from his pocket, and placed it in the table. and i was surprised when i saw a bracelet.
Ano ka ba? You don't need to give me anything.Nah! You deserve that. Congrats nurse ka na talaga.Naiilang padin ako makipag uspa sa kanya, eye to eye kasi makipag usap si Kerbs. Honestly, hindi naman nya talaga kailangan magbigay ng ganito eh.
Kerbs hindi na. I give it back to him.
And OMG!!!! He held my hand.
Hindi, that's for you Bianx.His hand was ice cold, I don't know why, but it's something that made me feel really ewan that moment!
Oh i'm sorry. Binitawan nya yung kamay ko.
Keep it. You're not required to wear that naman.. Ayoko naman mag away na naman kayo dahil sakin.sorry nga pala about that incident. I wasn't able to defend you.. and--Hayaan mo na yon. Past is past okay? smile ka naman dyan. Kinakabahan ako sayo eh.
Nye! Bakit naman?wala... O pano? I'll go ahead, baka magising pa si Chesco eh.Tumayo na kami, then hinatid ko sya sa gate.
Pano? Congrats ulit ah.Thanks. Thanks din sa gift, nagabala ka pa nakakahiya sayo.Sleep ka na. Uwi na ko. Goodnight. Goodnight. Ingat ka.
Lumabas na sya sa gate and i waited for whim to turn his back... And when he did, i was about to close the gate when suddenly...
Bianx.He walks towards me.
Oh? May nakalimutan ka?Uhm... oo eh. Okay lang ba?O tara, balikan natin sa garden.Nung patalikod na sana ako para pumunta ulit sa garden, he held my hand.
that's not what i mean.ha?Pwede bang... p-pwede bang.... he pulled me closer to him and he hugged me... tight... I was dumb founded and I can't move. Or should I say I don't want to move and i just want to feel his embrace.
I've been missing you since that night. Hindi ko na kaya Bianx eh. I'm sorry. just let me do this, just this once.I---- i.. missed you too...And with that he hugged me tighter... locking his arms around me, and i can't help it but to put my arms around him too...
***END OF FLASHBACK***Since that moment hinid na ulit nasundan yung pagkikita namin. Wala ng texts or kahit ano, still hindi nadin sya dito sa bahay.

Sweetie...Oh he's up already...

KRIIING..Sweetie, phone mo yata yon.Tumayo ako at kinuha ko yung bag ko para masagot yung tawag sa cellphone ko...
When I checked it...

O problema?Yeah... emergency! I need to help Kuya find his USB. Sweetie okay lang ba uwi muna ako?Sure sure. You need help?No. We're good. Kaya na namin yon.
Do you want me to drive you home?Sweetie, i have my car with me remember?Alright. Ingat ka okay?Tumayo sya from the bed and kissed me goodbye tapos lumabas na kami.
Pag ka park ko ng kotse sa tapat ng gate, nagmadali akong pumasok sa bahay. Umakyat ako sa taas and went to Kuya's room. Wala pa man ako sa pinto, naririnig ko na si KUya.
Damn it! Pare dyan sa ilalim ng kama nga check mo!Baka naman na sa mga damit mo? Check mo kya laundry basket mo!Oh okay... It's him... He's also here... Hay nako Bianca tulungan mo muna kapatid mo! So pumasok na ako sa kwarto ni Kuya.
Kuya ano ba? san mo ba kasi huling nakita yon?Dito lang sa computer table ko yon eh. remember I used your laptop lastnight. Damn it! We need to find that sis, presentation na namin mamayang 3:00 PM!Parang hindi na namin nakita ni Kerbs yung isat isa sa sobrang busy naming tatlo sa paghahanap.
Saglit lang Kuya magpapalit muna ako ng damit pawis na ko oh!Sige sige bilisan mo! Kuya looks frustrated. Uggh! nasaan ka bang USB ka! Nagpunta ako sa room ko para magpalit ng T-shirt kasi sobrang pawis na ako. After ko magbihis I removed my wrist watch and place it on my table, and there I saw something!
KUYA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I heard their footsteps rushing going to my room.
Ano?!! Anong nangyari?Bianx okay ka lang?I smiled at them and raise my laptop from the table...
Sign of aging! nataranta ako sayo ah!Uggh! Kuya ran towards me and hugged my tight...
Sis!!!! You're my angel! whew! Thank you! the he kissed my forehead.
It's his precious USB inserted on my laptop!!! Haaay ang kapatid ko tumatanda na!
G*g* ka pare!!! Sa susunod nga maghanap ka mabuti bago ka mantaranta dyan! After that they explained to me kung bakit ganon nalang sila kataranta nung nawala yung USB, big project daw kasi yung presentation na nandon. Nagmadali na silang dalawa para pumunta sa office. Sa bahay nadin naligo si Kirby. It's almost 2:00 PM at hindi pa sila tapos mag bihis! Vain!!!
Bumaba si Kuya from his room, kasunod si Kirby.
Oh Bianx, ikaw na muna bahala dito ah? aalis ka ba?No. Dito lang ako. Good luck sa presentation nyo ah! Bye Kuya. 
I kissed Kuya on his cheek.
Bye Kerbs.
And i kissed him on his cheek too! OMG!!!! Bianca what the hell did you just do???!!!!
