"It's not like that Babu, I'm just saying what's on my mind," I answered and returned to the front of the table. I pretended to fix my phone in front of him even though I knew it wouldn't really work because it was broken.
"You broke my heart and my phone," I whispered.
"Buy keypad phone and use that black card in front of you!" he ordered seriously and pointed to his black card.
"Why keypad phone?" I complain.
"You do not want?" he asked.
"I don't want to, I can't use it," I answered briefly and shook my head. Nah! I'm not artistic but I really don't want to be. Can I only buy a keypad phone using his black card? Don't worry, they might say that I'm having feelings and maybe he'll skip it during the day to reduce the one-year conversation. That's not possible because we still have 355 days left because I've only been spending ten days with him at home. Because he only goes to CASA every weekend. I'm so smart! Because those weekdays can't be counted because it's a big no for me, because I don't spend time with him.
"How are you going to call me when you don't have a phone?" he asked seriously.
"Do you really need a keypad phone? That's too old now, Babu," I frowned and scratched the top of my head.
"And so, what's wrong with the keypad phone?" he asked without emotion.
"Luh! No one uses keypad phones now because everyone uses touch screens," I seconded.
"So, you don't want it?" he asked.
"I still don't want it," I refused.
"Whatever you watch when your phone's touch screen."
"Luh! I'm not watching anymore," I defended, shaking my head. I saw her raise her eyebrows because she didn't believe what I was saying.
"That's Fast in Furious X. It's ugly, Babu!" I insist because it's true. He just doesn't want to believe because of ante Google. maybe ante Google, you put out wrong what I want to know. Analyze to penetrate was the one I kicked a while ago and then the p*rn site that came out that he gave the answer to! His too, he can't be trusted. That's why there is always a disclaimer because the statement denies for something, especially responsibility. Now I know!
"You're amazing Emerald. I love you! You know so much about life that is not related to your age."
See! even a good doctor right here in front of me was nab*bo because of what ante Google showed me. Alas! Ante Google, it's really your fault! I'm the one being preached to, my mind said.
"You too stupid?" I asked innocently. Poor his patients if he ever. Anyways she is a goddess in the opinion of the majority and she can be considered a green flag because she helps many people and is kind to people but she only has one content in her heart, only me! It's just him.
"You're good at choking Emerald, you know that!"
"I don't know. I haven't tried yet," I answered quickly.
"Damn you woman!"
"Prepare your papers and proceed with your studies to medicine!" he ordered me. I was so excited if he would teach me but I frowned in front of him because I was thinking about something again. I really can't because I don't have any money. I haven't saved anything for my studies yet.
"I don't want it anyway. I don't have money for school because I only have money to buy feminine wash," I answered.
"What?!" he asked in shock. I feel that Babu is very angry with me. He's too stressed for me because he overreacts. He was just facing me but his voice reached the sky. His face is red - red and his veins seem like they want to come loose because they are coming out especially on the forehead.
"JESUS CHRIST ALIA BLESS EMERALD!" he called my full name as he violently stood up. That's why I also stood up automatically because of his scary pronunciation of my full name, if I don't avoid him, he might actually try to strangle me.
" he screamed deafeningly and actually hit the table so that I backed away. He was very angry, to be honest, it was like he was about to kill someone, but I took a deep breath because I would only let what he said into one ear and then let it out through the other. That's my life!
I frowned and scratched my head. I'm not afraid of him because I'm not guilty but I won't speak anymore because I don't want to be yelled at. My eardrum was broken so I sat down in my chair again and looked down at him and he calmed down because he was very stressed, because he was still looking at me seriously.
He's azure silver eyes were beautiful even though his eyes were angry, but for me his gaze was still beautiful as if I was just lying on the diamonds that sparkled. He is really in love. I was even cute while looking at him because he was now rubbing the back of his neck. I still had puppy-puppy eyes while biting my little finger's nail, but he was really serious.
"But seriously doc, are you doing it?" I asked seriously but I quickly stood up and quickly ran to the door. I looked at him and saw that his eyebrows met and he was about to chase me but I had already left the executive office.
"ALIA BLESS EMERALD MONTELEAGRE!"
My heart beat faster when I heard his scream. I stopped suddenly and turned to the closed door. My brain wants to process what I heard, but my one ear also wants to let it out.
"Wait!" I spat because I wanted to calm my heart down because it felt like I was going to be attacked by palpating it. I took a deep breath and then when I remembered what I heard, my chest pounding returned.
"What did he call me?" I will ask. I would like to go back inside the executive office and confirm if what I heard is correct but let me be ashamed because it might be wrong and it might be in my mind.
"Ahh!" I screamed at the same time as he stomped my foot.
"Boring!" I mumbled.
"Who's annoying?" I heard someone ask from behind me. I slowly turned around and forced a smile on my lips.
"D-doc!" I called him in shock.
"Good afternoon," I greeted politely and bowed.
"What are you doing here?" I will ask.
"I've been looking for you nurse Alia. I was going to give it to doc Monteleagre to sign. This is the list of his nurses who will temporarily be on duty at the Batanes Hospital," he answered and handed me the list.
"Doc, is there a Monteleagre there?" I will ask. Just taking a chance that my name is written on the list. He frowned and looked at the list of names before looking at me again so I tried to smile and I also looked at the list to make sure if my name was really there.
"If you haven't changed your status yet, your last name isn't Monteleagre," he answered and really flicked my forehead.
"Alas, doc Bob!" I complained and frowned as he scratched my forehead.
"Hurry up, have your husband sign it first," he ordered and handed me the list.
"Nuh! I don't want it. That would make me angry, you're the only one, doc!" I refused and passed him. I don't want to go back there because I might be bitten like a louse.
"Baby!" I finally said and waved at him. I went to the elevator and hit the first floor.
The executive office is on the fifth floor of the hospital, so when there are meetings that are important and about the hospital, doc Thy Ron is needed there. He also has a different clinic area that is only for patients. I'm on the first floor and I just got out of the elevator.
"Nurse Alia!"
"Nurse Alia!" nurse Karyll called me as I walked to the nurse station.
"Yes?" I am respectful. He chased me and we were walking together now.
"I'm the one who will go to Batanes because Alia can't be me," he said.
"Alright, sister Karyll, I'm the only one because I'm not doing anything, it's up to you to put my name on the list," I answered.
"Thank you very much Alia," he said happily and hugged me.
"It's okay. Baby!" I said and waved at him because I was in a hurry.
I looked at my wrist watch and marched away because Elisha and I were going to go for a walk and I was going to shop for things I needed to go to Batanes.
I'm leaving the hospital because my duty is over and it's lunch time. I even walked to the road to hire a taxi to the mall where Elisha and I would meet.
"Oh no! I don't have a phone," I blurted out. Babu is really annoying because his ugly bond is getting old. Hey! It's not my phone's fault, but he mercilessly threw stones at the wall and the result was a disaster.
I took a deep breath and turned back to where I came from. Apart from tiring walking, it's also hot because the sun is shining, but I still have no choice but to go back to the hospital because it's necessary to call Elisha. I don't know where we will meet, as long as we talk about it at the mall.
"Hey! It's tiring to walk," I complained and started walking back to the hospital.
"Nurse Alia?" call me I'm already in front of the elevator and wiping my sweat because it's hot outside. I turned to see who was calling me I smiled at him.
"What is that?" I will ask.
"I'll go with you," he answered so we both waited for the elevator door to open in front of us.
"You're not coming to Batanes?" he asked me.
"I'll come, brother," I answered.
"I didn't see your name on the screen earlier," he informed and we entered the elevator together when it opened.
"I'm just a substitute for sister Karyll, so my name is not on the list," I politely promised and pressed the fifth floor. I have to go back to the executive office because Babu will call me.
"I'm here," I said goodbye to brother Rey and got out of the elevator. I faced him and bowed to pay respect. He smiled at me and waved with his left hand so I waved as the elevator door slowly closed.
I started to get stronger while playing with my nails towards the door of the executive office. Actually I'm nervous because this is where I'm going to fall. I still thought that I will never come back here because I have already done the shit with Babu. I took a deep breath and knocked three times.
"It's up to batman!" I whispered and waited for the command to open it or not.
"Come in," a cold voice came from him. I swallowed three times before I opened the door. Two pairs of eyes stared at me so I forced a smile and bowed.
"I hired Dr. Simone Uno Santos," I heard doc Bob inform.
"What are you doing here?" Babu asked me coldly so I raised my head and looked at him.
"I would like to borrow a phone," I courageously answered his question.
"I'll just call Elisha," I added. I didn't hear a word from him but his phone reached me.
"Thank you, Babu!" I said and bowed slightly before taking his phone. AHe nodded to me and turned back to doc Bob.
"What are his specialties?" Babu asked seriously. I slowly walked towards the door because I knew if he and doc Bob were talking seriously.
"Dermatologist," I heard doc Bob answer before I opened the door and went out.
"There are many skin diseases when in the province..." I heard Babu's second but the sound was gone, because the door had already closed.
I looked at the cell phone I was holding. Babu's real wealth is because he has an iPhone 15 pro max. I pressed the side button so it would light up and see if there was a password but so far nothing.
"Naks! No wallpaper," I said. I thought they and doc Shantal would open their faces to me.
"Anyways. You can call," I blurted out and pressed contact because I didn't memorize Elisha's number, so I borrowed it from Babu because I knew if he had contact with my friend.
I'll scroll down until I read his name and was about to press it when his phone rang.
"Honey," I blurted out.
"Tsk! It's disturbing," I said and answered the witch's call.
"Hello doc," I said to him. I am Babu's assistant so it is okay for me to answer the call as long as we are at the hospital.
"What is doc Thomas doing, Alia?" he asked seriously from the other line.
"He has a meeting at the executive office with doc Edjin Bob," I informed.
"Please tell him to have lunch here because I cooked," he instructed so I nodded as if he could see me.
"Alright, doc. You'll get there..."
I frowned and looked for Elisha's name again in Babu's contacts. That I had a bad trip because he didn't even finish what I was going to say because he immediately hung up on me. If I can't convey what he is telling Babu so that he can have lunch alone? My mind said..
