SINFUL AFFAIR (Cruel Reality Series 2) - [COMPLETED]

Chapter 19

"BRAXTON," sister Esmeralda called him. Napatingin naman siya sa matandang madre. She looked at her and he can still see blood stains on her dress and that aches his heart again.

"Braxton, ikaw na muna ang bahala sa kanya ha? May aasikasuhin pa kami sa simbahan," paalam ng matanda sa kanya. Tumayo na ito. Siya naman ay tumayo na para alalayan ang madre na tila gulat pa sa mga pangyayari.

"Sister, magpahinga kayo, okay?" pakiusap niya sa matanda.

Ngumiti naman ito at tsaka siya tinapik sa kamay. "Oo naman, kayong dalawa alam kong hindi pagkakaintindihan lang ang mayroon sa inyo. . .  pag-usapan ninyo iyan. Bibisitahin ko siya bukas," marahan at tila mahinang pakiusap nito sa kaniya. He smiled weakly because of that. Muli ay nagoaalam na ito sa kanya at tsaka lumabas na sa kwarto ng dalaga.

Halos wala pang isang linggo simula noong nandito ang dalaga at heto na naman siya, nakahiga sa hospital bed. Tinignan niya ang pulsuhan nito and he can't help it but to feel upset and sad when he saw her wound.

His lips trembled as he looked at her. She looks beautiful while peacefully sleeping but she looked worn out, her eyes were swollen, her lips were swollen, too. Lastly the cut on her wrist and palm caused him to tremble in pain.

He kissed her forehead, "mahal na mahal kita, huwag mo nang uulitin ha?" he whispered painfully and pleaded. Hindi na niya kakayanin pa kung may mangyayari na namang ganito sa susunod. He is trying his best now not to go berserk, he is trying his best to be calm dahil alam niya na sasama ang loob ng dalaga kapag nagalit siya.

"Love, please, stop hurting yourself," hirap na hirap na saad niya sa dalaga. Nakita niyang kumunot ang noo ni Zammy kaya naman tinapik tapik niya ito sa balikat. "Shh, sleep more, my love. . . I'm just here," he hushed. He smiled weakly  when her breathing relaxed. That means she's still sleeping.

Bigla namang bumukas ang pintuan ng kwarto kaya naman napalingon siya sa pumasok. Hawak hawak parin niya ang kamay ni Zammy habang tinitignan kung sino ang pumasok sa silid na iyon.

"Braxton," it was Magnus who entered the room. He saw how Magnus lips moved upwards and gave him a meaningful smirk. "Totally whipped, eh?" he teased him.

Naiiling na lamang na napangiti siya sa kasamang doktor, "how is she?" he asked Magnus.

"She's fine, 5 stitches sa left pulse niya at tig dalawa naman sa palad niya. She lost too much blood, good thing at nadala siya kaagad," mahabang paliwanag ni Magnus sa kanya.

He sighed hardly when he heard that. Hearing his woman’s condition is making his heart ache.

"She just needs rest." Ngumiti ito at tinapik siya sa  braso. "Why don't we grab some coffee?" Magnus wiggled his eyebrows.

"No, thank you. Walang magbabantay sa kanya," he looked at Zavaiah who is now peacefully sleeping like nothing happened. Her beautiful face makes him cal. Nawawala lahat ng pangamba niya dahil sa dalaga. He is so sure of one thing. He really love her.

Natawa ng mahina si Magnus at tsaka siya tinignan ng seryoso sa mata. "You got it bad, man. . .  really bad," and then he whistled.

Nagulat sila nang biglang gumalaw si Zavaiah, kaya naman tinapik tapik niya ulit ang balikat nito gaya kanina para pabalikin ito sa tulog. "Shh, sleep more, love," he whispered softly and then looked at her lovingly.

"Fuck," Magnus is shocked, he just shrugged his shoulders.

"Hindi ka pa ba bumabalik?" Magnus asked him. He slowly lowered his head, being a doctor is his dream, his ultimate goal in life. Pero dahil may kaedaran naman na ang kanyang mga magulang ay nagdesisyon na ang mga ito.
