Athena's POV
I woke up with a pounding headache, the aftermath of last night's drinking session hitting me full force. My mouth felt dry, and my eyes were puffy from crying. For a moment, I forgot where I was, but then the memories of the previous night came flooding back. We went to Abigail's bar and we had drunk ourselves into oblivion.Sitting up slowly, I glanced around the room. I'm on my room."N-nakauwi pala kami kagabi?"- I asked as if someone will answer me.I saw water in my side table so I drink immediately. Beside it was a medicine for headache with a notes."Drink this when you wake up, alam kong masakit ulo mo ngayon, text me okay?"- Micka.I took the medicine as I drink more water.It's literally 1 pm in the afternoon, medyo mahabang ang tulog ko but my head hurts. Umiikit din ang paligid ko so I went to my shower. I saw myself in the mirror.'I am so wasted'After kong magmuni muni sagAthena's POVAs we entered the living room, I felt a mix of dread and anticipation. This was the moment I had been waiting for, but I wasn't sure I was ready to hear what he had to say.Justin sat down on the edge of the couch, looking more vulnerable than I had ever seen him. "Light, I... I don't even know where to start.""You don't know? Like you can start in why did you do that? Where have you been? Bakit hindi mo manlang sinasagot ang mga tawag ko? For god sake blinock mo nalang sana ako dahil man ok pa yata iyon kaya hindi mo sagutin ang mga putang*inang tawag ko!"- Seryosong sabi ko. "You knew how much I was broken when Czareenah left... Alam na alam mo Justin. Mas okay nga yata si Czareenah dahil nag iwan siya ng mensahe eh. Atleast I know. Samantalang Ikaw... Samantalang Ikaw wala... I was desperate to know why Justin. Bakit mo nagawa iyon?"- I asked in between my sobs. I saw a glimpses of puzzled in his eyes kaya medyo napatawa ako. Kinuha ko ang phone ko saka iniabot sa k
Athena's POV "Hi Doc kumusta ang last surgery niyo"- Tanong ni Nurse Micka as I was checking some patient's details. "Hayyyst, do I have to answer that nurse Micka?"- pagod kong sagot sa kanya."*Hehehe* sabi ko nga pagod na kayo eh, here, I bought that for you"- Micka said kasabay ng paglahad niya sa akin ng Isang inumin.I gave her a question look as I look at the drinks she gave me. May trust issue ako sa mga yelling drinks na binigay sa akin eh, ayokong mag expect. "It's a pineapple milkshake, hindi yan mango flavor promise"- sabi niya sabay taas pa ng kanyang kamay na para bang nanunumpa.Pagkarinig ko non ay nakangiti kong tinanggap ang inumin at ininum agad iyon. "Haayyyy... Heaven"- sabi ko na para bang nawala lahat ng pagod ko sa katawan as I taste it. "*Hahaha* people said you've changed a lot pero pagdating sa pinya ganon parin reaction mo"- masayang komento ni Micka. "Tssskk. Iyon tala
Athena's POVMalamya akong napabuga ng hangin habang nakatingin sa karagatan. I went into a week vacation matapos ang dinner na iyon. Sa ilang taong ko sa trabaho at ginugol ang oras sa pag-aaral para maging surgeon ay nagawa ko rin sa wakas ang vacation leave na karamihan sabik ang mga empliyado. This is my first vacation honestly, deserve ko naman siguro dahil sa dedication ko sa trabaho ko. I was distracted when my phone rang on my table. Nasa veranda ako as I'm having a little break of wine. At this instant, iisang lang ang kilala kong tawag sa ganitong oras so I just answered the phone even without looking at it. "So how's the first night of vacation lady Doc?"- it was Micka on the phone. "How's the shift doing nurse Micka?"- balik tanong ko sa kanya as I sound teasing her. "Tskk... Nag eenjoy ka lang jan eh"- she replied in a jealous tone. "So how is Montera?"- she asked."Good"- I simply answer. "Ma
Athena's Point of View"Pasok ka"- I said as I let go of Czareenah's hand saka pumasok ng tuluyan sa cabin kung saan ako magstay for two days.I smile at her, umiwas tingin siya sa akin but I keep on looking at her telling her 'it's okay'. I heard my phone ringing kaya sinagot ko muna when I saw Lallaine's name pop up on it. "Yes, hello?"- me"Nasan ka na? Bakit bigla kang nawala? Is everything okay?"- nag-aalalang tanong ni Lallaine sa phone. "I'm okay, Lallaine. Something just came up, I'm sorry hindi na ako nakapag paalam, pero babawi nalang ako I promise. Tell Mark for me please"-sabi ko."Okay, ako ng bahalang mag explain kay Mark then"- Lallaine said after niyang napabuntong hininga. Matapos ng naging usapan namin, I looked back to Czareenah as she was seating on the sofa, looking guilty at me. "Mother ni Ellion"- tuloy ko kay Lallaine na naka-usap ko sa phone. "I- I want to... I'm sorry"- nauutal niyang sabi saka siya napayuko. Tumabi ako sa kanya saka niyakap ng mahigpit
Athena's POV Natapos ang ang vacation leave ko na parang isang raw lang sa pakiramdam ko. Masyadong mabilis ang araw. Lalo na noong muli kaming nagkita ni Enah, pakiramdam ko kulang na kulang ang oras para sa aming dalawa. We are both catching up dahil sa mga oras na nasayang and I can say sa habang ng panahong na nagkahiwalay kami. We never change, except for our own maturity. "Kumusta ang bakasyon Doc?"- it was Micka na kapapaaok lang sa opisina ko. "It's good"- casual kong sagot sa kanya. I didn't bother to look at her dahil sa mga papeles ng mga pasyente ko."Tsskk... Good pero naghahabol ka ngayon ng trabaho"- mapang asar niyang sabi. I make face to her as we both laugh together. "So how is it pala? I'm so excited to meet her pero gosh! Hindi umaayon ang schedules ko!"- naiinis niyang sabi. Tinutukoy nito si Czareenah, sinabi ko sa kanya ang muli naming pagkikita ni Enah. She was so excited to meet her pero full load ang schedule niya buong buwan. And Czareenah would be
Athena's POV "The wedding will be next mouth"- Justin said."WHAT!?"- meNapalakas ang boses ko kaya naman nagsitinginan ang ibang mga costumers kung saan kami nakapwesto ni Justin. I looked at the costumers as mouthed 'sorry' to them. Bumalik naman sila sa kanya kanya nilang ginagawa. "Ang bilis naman yata!?"- I sound like a defensive one this time. Nag shrug lang si Justin as he look at the window."Nagiging masunurin lang akong anak"- he said without looking back at me. Tumingin ako sa glass window kung saan rin siya nakatingin. Mas lumakad pa ang ulan. Napako naman ang tingin ko sa dalawang estudyanteng nasa iisang payong. The way they are talking and looking at each other ay masasabi mo talagang magkarelasyon sila. They are both wearing the same uniforms but different color of ID lace which means magkaiba sila ng department. The boy is holding two bags which means the other one is the ladies bag. The s
Athena's POV "So... What was that?""What the f*ck Micka, magkakasakit yata ako sa puso dahil sayo eh"- I shouted. She just laugh at me."Mukhang magiging maayos nga yang puso mo eh"- mapang asar niyang sabi. Napakunot nalang ang mga mata ko sa kanya. "Kanina ka pa dito?"- I asked her at hindi pinansin ang huling sabi niya. "Not long enough"- nag eenjoy pa ito sa upuan ko. Masuri niya akong tinignan mula ulo hanggang para. "What happened? Parang tumawid ka sa itlog?"- Sabi nito. Basa kasi ang pants ko hanggang tuhod which is iyon ang natalsikan ng tubig kanina. "A reckless driver is having a race in the middle of the strong rain"- sabi ko nalang. "So ano nga?"- nagkibit balikat niyang tanong"What?"- inosenteng sabi ko, kahit alam ko ang gusto niyang marinig. "May hindi ka talaga sinasabi sa akin babae ka"- medyo nagtatampong sabi nito. '
Athena's POVI've been driving for hours pero malapit na ako sa resort. Isa ito sa favorite naming pinupuntahan ni Czareenah dati maliban sa mga view decks na napupuntahan namin kapag nagjojoy rides kami na ginagawa naming tambayan o kaya sa bukid nila mismo. Maliban sa magandang view ay may mga resto na pwedeng pagpilihan depende sa mood o sa gusto mo. They also have bars, cafes, karinderias and different resto styles like Korean resto, Japan and others. Sa 'Cafe Latte' ako dumeretso tulad ng napag usapan namin. "Tina!"- I heard Enah's voice behind me."Oh! You're here... Hi"- I hugged her. "Of course... Lagi akong sumasabay sa oras"- she said proudly. "Where's Micka?"- she asked. "Hahabol daw siya... But she's on her way na"- sagot ko sa kanya."Okay, let's go then"- Aya nito sa akin. Sabay na kaming pumasok sa cafe, sabay narin nag order ng meryenda. "Oh... I remember Giselle, is she coming?"- I asked her as we sat together. "Well, next month daw siya babawi, out of countr
