Unexpected VisitorsI woke up with the music coming from the alarm I set on my phone. Iginala ko ang aking paningin.Jacob is still sleeping besides me and he is now hugging my waist. Nakasiksik ito sa leeg ko while his hand is on the top of my stomach. I slightly push him, but he tighten his hug.“Ej, It’s almost 4 am. You should go to your room”. Bulong ko dito at marahang itinulak.“I don’t!”. he mumbles in his sleep at lalo pa itong sumiksik.“Babangon na ako kung ayaw mo!”. Banta ko dito.He groans.I almost laugh nang padabog itong naupo sa kama. Eyes still close, Half asleep. He is so cute, with his hair missy and sleepy eyes.Tumayo na ako at hinila ito. Nag padala naman ito sa hila ko but to my surprise he hugs me. I tilted my head to give him access to my neck. His hug tighten.“I want to sleep more. You're so warm”. Napapaos nitong bulong.Umiling ako at bahagya itong itinulak.“Aalis kami ng 5am, alam mo yan!”.Bumuntong hininga ito at kumalas sa yakap. He pushes his hair

Doctor's dutyI saw Matias gesturing something to his team. They suddenly scattered in the area. Then, he walks slowly towards me. Sinalubong ko ito ng tingin. I'm a bit confused. Why he is acting that I or we needed protection. Weird! Ngunit di ko mapigilang kabahan.“Good noon! I am Dr. James Morgan, a volunteer doctor of this Island. Nang malaman kung may medical mission ngayon si Gob ay naisipan naming magbakasakali kasama ng iilang residente ng kabilang barangay. They have dengue outbreak and needed more medical help, karamihan ay mga bata ang tinamaan nito.” Hinihingal nitong paliwanag. I decided to go near them. Tito Enrique was also standing next to the doctors. Our head director and team leader shared a look.“We are here to ask some help if you may”. Patuloy nito. Tumango tango naman si Dr. Zamora at tiningnan kaming lahat.“We have enough antibiotics here doc, maybe we can help them”. Saad ko naman dahil mukhang nahihirapan si doc mag desisyon. Sumang-ayun naman ang iba pan

WorriesI was rubbing the back of my neck when suddenly I saw Elijah running towards me. Tumayo ako para salubungin ito. Kita ko ang galit sa mga mata nito ngunit lumiwanag ito ng matanaw ako. Agad niyang hinawakan ang mga braso ko.“What are you doing?”. Nag aalala nitong saad. I saw the shock and anger in his eyes.“What?” Gulat kung sagot dito.“Damn! I’ve been worried sick!”. Mariing saad nito. Akmang yayakapin ako nito ngunit itinulak ko.“I may contain some bacteria, madaming pasyente ngayon”. Iling kung saad. Bumuntong hininga naman ito at sinuklay ang kanyang buhok. He looks like a frustrated man.“Why are you so worried? I am a doctor and this is my job”. Malumanay kung saad dito.Tumango-tango lang ito ngunit ramdam ko ang bigat ng kanyang bawat paghinga.“Besides…” tumingin ako sa likuran nito. Lt. Matias is looking at our direction together with Dr. Morgan and our team. “I’m with them”. Turo ko sa mga ito. There's a glint in Dr. Morgan's eyes and for a second I saw him smi

Past “His sister died because of Elijah...that what Morgan thinks and believe”. Sabay kaming napalingon ni Chim sa pinto. Yuhan entered. His eyes falls in me. There's glint in it that I don't understand. Bumuntong hininga ito.“When we were in college, Morgan's sister admires Elijah. She always does things just to get his attention.But you know, knowing him hindi yun basta-basta pumapatol sa hindi niya gusto. Lalo na ang mga naghahabol sa kanya, until one day…that girl threatened Elijah na magpapakamatay siya kung di ito papayag na makipag relasyon sa kanya”. “Pumayag siya?”. Tanong ko. Nalaki ang mga mata ko ng umiling si Yuhan. “Hindi”. Bumuntong hininga ito. “The girl died in her room and as the investigation came out, she is really obsessed with Elijah, mas malala pa sa stalker. Agad kaming ipinadala sa America pagkatapos ng insidenteng yun. The family Morgan issued an apology to the Ford and Rocaford for dragging Elijah’s name to their daughter’s death, but not the eldest

Selos Maaga palang ay nasa venue na kami para sa medical mission. Tulad ng sinabi ni tito malapit lang ito sa kanilang lugar. Marami na ang mga taong gustong mag patingin ng sumilip ako sa labas.Tatlong araw na kami dito ngunit madami pading taong nagpupunta mula sa kabilang barangay ang iba naman ay galing sa kalapit isla, dahil napag desisyonan na ni tito na di na bumiyahe ang mga doctor at sila nalang ang bahala upang makapunta ang mga tao dito.Its have been three days at hindi ko pa nakikita si Elijah. Yuhan said that he is having a conference in Manila… but then…I almost hold my breath when I saw his car parked in front of our tent.I saw Elijah arrived and he is with someone. Chim and Yuhan welcomed them. Biglang nakaramdam ako ng kirot sa dibdib. Woahhh! This is not good. Why I am too attached with him and I miss his presence.“Doc, pinapatawag po kayo ni Dr. Sanchez”.Napabaling ako sa tumawag na isang volunteer. Tumango ako bilang sagot dito at agad na sumunod.“Dr. Verde

Taken .......... It was already past 4 in the afternoon when we decided to call it a day. Wala na din namang gaanong tao kaya naman nagligpit na kami. Speaking of him... Elijah is sticking next to me for the whole afternoon, he never leave my side, hindi ko ito pinapansin. Kaya naman panay ang tingin ng ilang taong nandoon dahil panay ang sunod nito kung saan man ako pumunta. “Hinahanap ka nila”. Saad ko dito. Ngunit prenteng nakaupo lang sa tabi ko. Tamad niya akong tiningnan. “I don’t care”. Saad nito. “Make it fast so we can go home”. Bumaling ako dito. Go home? “May pupuntahan kami mamaya. You can go home if you want”. Sagot ko dito ng hindi ito tinitingnan. “Hindi ka aalis”. Maikling saad nito. Nanlaki naman ang mga mata ko sa gulat kaya naman binalingan ko ito ng tingin. “What? You have no right to make decision on what I have to do”. Masungit kung sagot dito. “Still angry?”. Malumanay nitong saad kita ko ang pagpipigil nitong ngumiti. Umirap lang ako. Angry ka dyan!

Spicy Hot! SPG!!!Pagkatapos maligo at magbihis I heard him talking to someone. Lumabas ako at nakita ko siyang nakaharap sa kanyang laptop. Wearing a gray cotton short and black t-shirt, even his back is handsome. Napangiti ako at may kapilyohang pumasok sa utak ko. Dahan-dahan akong nag lakad and I immediately grab him for a back hug. He giggled kaya naman tumawa din ako. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko ng makita kung— he is on a video call, agad akong nagtago sa kanyang likuran. Dinig ko ang tawanan mula sa kanyang mga kausap. “Woahhh! My Levy! Eli, did you make-up already? LQ is scary, I told you! Ang hirap kaya manuyo”. Natatawang saad ni Yuhan. Nasapo ko ang nuo ko sa sobrang hiya. “Nice meeting you doc!”. May isa pang nagsalita na di pamilyar sakin. “It’s that??? Woahhhh!”. Dinig ko ang boses ng isang babae. “Nice to see you too, doc. I agree with Yuhan”. It was Namo’s voice. Gosh! Napasabunot na ako ng buhok. “Kaya naman pala all smile itong si boss Eli, eh!”. Dugtong pa ng m

Totally Different I woke up when I felt something heavy is on the top of my stomach. Elijah’s body covering mine.Sinilip ko ang wall clock sa tabi at alas kwatro palang pala ng madaling araw. He is hugging me tight. Napansin kung nakadamit na ako. Siguro ay binihisan niya ako kagabi.Dinig ko ang malakas na hampas ng alon mula sa tabing dagat. Nilingon ko ulit ito.Ang maamo nitong mukha ay malaya kung napag masdan. Elijah is extremely handsome.I can't believe we did it. Humarap ako sa kanya at isiniksik ang sarili sa kanyang leeg.I love this feeling. I hope this won’t last. I’ll make sure of that.“I love you”. I whisper before going back to sleep.I woke up again from his tickling kisses.“Good morning baby”. Bungad nito sakin ng nagmulat ako ng mga mata. He kiss me on my lips. Agad naman akong nag iwas.“Afraid of bad breath?”. Natatawa nitong saad. Tinulak ko ito at naupo sa kama.I am also wearing his cotton short. Napansin nito na tinitingnan ko ang suot ko.“You passed out
