The Broken

chapter One: Betrayals

*kriiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggg*

I opened my eyes lazily when I heard my alarm clock. I looked at the window. The Sun is starting to rise. I immediately turned off my alarm clock.

I yawned and looked around. it's too lazy to get up. I haven't fixed my other stuff yet. I've been home for maybe a week. I went out of the living room. It's disgusting to see my Items that haven't been fixed yet. My things are still in cartons. I went to the Kitchen and opened the Ref. there is a single Bottle of Tubi inside my fridge. I took it and kneaded it. This is what I used to wash my face.

"Yahhh!" I stretched. I'm always too lazy to get up in the morning.

Meanwhile, because I didn't have any food at home, I went out and went to the Convenient Store. It's close to home. I eat here. Because there is no cook at home and I haven't bought groceries yet.

I went straight to the Noddles Section, I got Jumbro the Spicry Ricecakes Ramyun and I put hot water in it.

I placed myself in front of the Window in the High chairs. Where I face the Window eat.

I put the Noddles on the table. I opened the Wooden Chopsticks that came with it and stuck it to the side with 'Tear here' on the noodles

Eating Noodles:

Step 1: Open the Noodles

Step 2: Remove the Cover

Step 3: Open the Seasonings

Step 4: Add Hot Water

Step 5: Cover and wait until Cook

It's cold here at the Convenient Store. It's delicious to drip. I buried my head in my palms as I waited for my Noodles.

I closed my eyes.

I'm almost addicted to my Noodles, that's why I stopped

and last

Step 6: Eat now. don't let the Noodles become soggy it's not tasty. It's like in a relationship, if it lasts, the pleasure of the company will also be lost. If I were you.. Break up

Because I was good at using chopsticks, my mouth burned. That's why I added something to the Steps!

step 7: Stir the Noodles lest they burn

Hey, my life. Get up Awake Breathe sleep eat. I haven't found a job yet. The difficulty of Nurses here in the Philippines is difficult to be permanent! It's like love, it's hard to find.. You're not sure if it's permanent.

*slurps*

my food is delicious even though my eyes are still closed. I enjoyed the taste of Noodles. These Noodles are even better because I can feel the heat and taste of love, it's really good.

It's like I slapped myself in the brain. I honestly don't know if I'm awake or still asleep.

"Coffee"

While I was stunned, I saw the hand that put Coffee in Can on my table. I blinked and looked at it carefully.

Coffee indeed! With matching white hands!

I slowly turned to my side.

I saw a Man shooting Maskels and drinking Coffee.

Confirmed. I'm not even awake yet.

"The coffee you eat is spicy first" He suddenly spoke. My eyes widened. He spoke! This is not a dream.

Meanwhile, I tried to apply my index finger to his arm which caused him to turn his gaze to me. We both looked at each other.

"Hehe" I grinned. I feel ashamed of my behavior.

"Are you too busy to comb your hair?" He spoke again. Meanwhile, I continued eating

"I just woke up" I answered him

"That's why. You haven't taken a bath yet?"

"Why do I smell?" I looked at him but he was still staring straight outside.

"You look like a corpse." there was no emotion in this promise. I just snorted and then continued eating

"I thought I was seeing Ghosts."

"Hey Manong you are cursing for insulting me!" I threatened him. He suddenly looked at me wearing a smile. But I just let it go

"Porke, your Maskels are full of fire." I murmured. I even heard its laughter.

"No matter how hard life is, You must always remember to fix yourself."

I stopped eating. I was struck by what he said. I could remember my pains again. Why am I like this? where are my hopes? Gone. Where is my Vision for myself? Gone. Everything is Gone. I was left broken and have nothing

"3 years. three special years. Do you still doubt that?" Those words suddenly came out of my mouth.

"Here comes your words: I gave everything. I loved him completely. I sacrificed everything, I trusted him." He said as if he was playing drama

"Same Scenarios of Broken Hearted." He said shaking his head.

"Why do you take love so seriously huh?" it asked. I looked at him as if I was thinking far away. I took the coffee he put down earlier and drank it

"You? Why do you tend to cheat? Why do you get bored easily? You guys are all the same." I felt a pain in my chest. My voice had a hint of frustration and sadness.

"Don't do it all." I was surprised when he suddenly approached and leaned on the table. Mejo we are close to each other now

"Alright, if there are still any sensible men you know, go ahead, enumerate ten sensible men you know. Write it here on the Tissue!" I took the tissue in front of me and took the ballpen from my pocket.

He took it but I only noticed, He was staring at the tissue for a long time and he was playing with the ballpoint pen in his hand

"What? You can't write anything, can you? Admit that you are the same!" I promise bitterly.

"Oh sha, I'll leave you. "I stood up and before I walked away I tapped his shoulder..

I walked out of the Store in a huff. That guy is weird. The body is handsome and muscular, but I think it's a bit slow!

I saw a puppy in a garbage can scavenging for garbage. I looked at the Sausage I was holding.

I quickly approached the Puppy. I gave him the sausage. I still rubbed it. It's cute, it's cute and then it's still wandering.

I continued walking. I stopped when I found my empty pocket

"Shemay! my Ballpen!!!!!" I ran backwards!

That can't be lost! That's my recording ballpen!

All the recordings of my daily life were there. No one can hear that!

When I reached the convenient store, there was no one there where I was sitting earlier! I remember handing the ballpen to the man!

"Kuya Where was Manong Puti earlier, did you see it!?" I went straight to the counter.

"Who is the white man? I don't know" he said. I went to my seat. That guy doesn't even want a ballpoint pen! I hope he left it to Kuya Cashier!

I sat on the high chairs and bowed with my hands. What a fool! I pulled out my hair! Early in the morning I was visited by misfortune

When I raised my head, I was surprised. Is what I see white?

I noticed the tissue stuck to my forehead.

I removed it and noticed something written on it

1.Gabrielle

2. Gabrielle

3. Gabrielle

4. Gabrielle

5. Gabrielle

6. Gabrielle

7. Gabrielle

8. Gabrielle

9. Gabrielle

10. Gabrielle

"Mom's BP is fine so you can take her home soon" I said smiling to the patient's Son

"Okay. Thank you very much." It said to me.

This is my last today! And I can go home.

I did find a job, but my body is fine. I'm not permanent yet. There is still a strong possibility that I will get sick. Like the possibility that your boyfriend will break up with you tomorrow.

That's why, I follow all of my orders. You should do the same when you say 'Let's break up!' Go on a break, Olol. that will also lead to break up even if you reach the 'I deserve an explanation' Portion.

Because Change is the only constant. And Constant is Change. Change is Constant!

"Oh, your duty is over?" Jasmin asked me when I met her on the way to the Locker Room "Yes, I'm going home, are you just starting?"

"Hmmm. Yes, it's boring. Or he's fine, I'll leave." It said so

"Don't worry, your duty will end, just like your relationship will end," I patted his shoulder and passed

I entered the Locker Room and got dressed. I smell like a hospital again. It seems that even after I take a shower, I still smell like a hospital

I smell like death? it doesn't matter if it smells like hunger as long as it's not 'Hopeful'

I'm going home again, My Life, Work and House are only Boring, Your relationship is Boring. So that's it

"Will you ride Ma'am?" Asked the driver of the Jeep I stopped

"I'm not going to gas. I'll put gas in your Jeep"

"Miss. Get on if you're going!" The Driver said angrily. Why is he the one who feels like getting angry? Because it was full inside, I was right next to the Manong Driver in the front. I caught up with Rush hour again. Others are going to work while I'm on my way home. Because my Duty is at night

The Jeep stopped. A woman was going to ride but she moved to the front because it was full inside. That's why I moved a little so he could sit.

"Sir, you're going to ride two people in your single seat?" I weakly promise him

"Miss, that's how it is with a Jeep."

"Man, this is a Jeep, not a heart. You can fit it

the two people in your heart. One is hurting,"

"Man, it's next door"

"Are you here Ma'am?" the Driver asked me when I reached for the fare

"No man, In the market!" I answered here. He scratched his head "Ma'am, my question is fine." It's a little annoying promise

"Man, next time don't just feel smart, don't be numb. that's why you and your wife are fighting!" I said to him as I went down

"Do you know? His forehead frowned

"Because there is no Forever. You will also separate." I promised him and ran away.

That Driver just seems to be stuck. Fun to play with.

when I got to my Apartment, I found Ninang there. The Landlady. Turing is like a child to me. Dish is always brought to me

"You're having lunch again." It opened to me while cleaning the kitchen. I approached him and waved

"It's traffic.I'm here. "

"Hey, it's okay. I put away the Mess. I thought you were too tired to clean. You can eat and rest now."

"Ninang Tagala loves me too much. It's a good thing we have forever!" When I caress him.

"You're forever! Why don't you find someone to marry? When someone takes care of you. You are alone in life, you need someone to be with." He said and sat down. I took a plate and a spoon and sat in front of him.

"Ninang's men are only a pain in the stomach. I'm just going to be an old girl."

"Don't be like that, Ija. You're too cute for a girl to stare at," he said regretfully

"Nang, I'm fine just like this. I'm sick of things like that" I gave my attention to my food,

Grandma always says that, but I just ignore it. I can take care of myself. I grew up without a companion in life. It's true that I was hurt by a man

Together with a man I loved.

That's right

Because if I fall in love again, I don't know if there will be anything left when I get hurt again

"Leave that man alone. Open your heart again for others.." This was convincing. I looked up at him and smiled bitterly.

"I removed him from my life a long time ago. Right now I don't want to think about getting married."

****************

Gabrielle

"I have an Alipunga. I snore when I sleep. Most of all... I have a heartache. I'm not allowed to love.." I closed my eyes and said as I fell on my chest

"Ah... O-Okay. It's a shame you're handsome but you're in so much pain." He said sadly

"Alright. You go first. I'm going to call my body guard. My chest is tight again."

"Alright. Get better." He took his Bag and left the Restobar

"1 2 3.....

*Ringgggg*

Mommy Calling

"Hello my labs."

"What are you saying to your blind date? Gabrielle Jhon! I've introduced you to a few girls!"

"Mom, she's not my style." I held my mouth to cover my smile

"What in the world is your style?"

"I still don't know. Mom I have to go. See you later I love you!"

When I put down the Phone and I also left the Restobar

I don't even know how many more Zara has been on my blind date. Because Mommy is fond of such things. I just don't feel them. Not that I don't want to. I don't feel like getting married yet. I had a few when I was in college but after that there were none.

I went back to the Agency because I just said goodbye to Chief. "How was the Blind Date?" Jernie promised me with a smile while having two cups of coffee. He placed a cup of hot coffee in front of me

"It's fun. Is it fun to cheat on a girl?" I answered him smiling

"Don't be like that, Gab. We don't know when you are the one who falls in love, you might be the one who gets unlucky." He said laughing

"No ah. When I become a bride I will marry her right away."

"Are you going crazy? She's not going to be the bride you're going to marry, mind you."

"Just, My next girlfriend will be my wife. Don't worry, this handsome man will also fall in love."

************

I was about to enter the Hospital when suddenly something hit my legs.

It was Clara and her friends. Our batch that also became my Ex's Ex. I was about to continue walking when we suddenly looked at each other and it looked like he was going to discus me again

"Tracy. How are you?" It seemed to be glad to see me

"OK." I tried to smile

"I heard about you and Carlo. Oh So Sad you're back in the Philippines again.." Clara said

"Carlo was not meant for you.. Tsk That's how it is Tracy, go find someone else." Aisha said shaking her head. I calmed myself down and tried to ignore what they were saying

"Alright, I'll go ahead of you." I tried to pass them but I felt Clara's tight grip on my hand and stopped me from walking

"You deserve it right. Look at Karma. after you stole Carlo from me. You are so Pathetic." He emphasized the word 'Pathetic.' I didn't startle him and with all my strength I broke free from his grip.

"I didn't steal anything from you! Didn't you also chase Carlo away before? and you were just jealous when he approached me." I said angrily to his face. I felt his annoyance grow and he stared at me intently

"I'll make sure you're satisfied with it!" It's a threat to me

I couldn't answer when they started walking away from me. That woman never changes.

Since Carlo and I have been together, Clara has cursed me. Carlo used to be jealous of us. They say we are Relationship Goals. We are both active in the University. I was nursing while he was taking Civil Engineering. Until we graduate and we rent an Apartment. I went abroad to save money. I send my monthly salary to him. I used to have him save up but he didn't. I still paid the rent for my apartment. That's why I'm in trouble now because of the debt he left that I'm still paying

I can't imagine what Carlo did. I never once thought that he could do this to me. He never showed up. Even though I blotted it, it's still not there.

I was supposed to be married right now.

My dreams suddenly disappeared like a bubble.

Carlo and I don't have to return the money

I want Closure

Because I will never forget until we talk

I looked at the front desk. group of Nurses. What can they do during work hours?

When I got closer, I saw Gab

That's why

It's like a Sales Agent. The face is for sale. Always chirping. The men really. Never satisfied. they are all women. I hope they are gay

"Whoa!" I was about to leave the FrontDesk when that voice called me

"If you bother me again, I'm not in the mood right now." I put my arms around him when he approached me

"I need your Statement. I told you I won't give up on you." he proudly said

That's us.

When something is needed

There

"I still don't have a Bank Statement for another month." I told him and was about to walk but he grabbed my arm

"I need you as a witness!" He suddenly raised his voice.

"Witness? Why are you getting married? Where to whom?" I raised an eyebrow at him. Washed off. It's on his face

"That's a word for a word." I folded my arms in front of him

This is Gab. Aka The Incredible Hulk. My Friend's Wife's Friend. Is it messy? It's up to you to understand. I'm tired of understanding because no one understands me

"If you don't want to, I'll take you to the Agency." There was a threat in his voice. I looked at him from head to toe

"Hey, The Incredible Hulk. your masks are not pork, you can drag me away. For you to know. My Obligation with that Patient is over, so I don't need to know anymore. Take care of your life!" I rudely promised him

Because we have VIP Patients. she was confined here for six months. He has a heart disease. I also took care of him for a long time. He recently died.

"The results of the autopsy came out. She died because of suffocating. You were the last nurse to check on her at that time. And you were our only Alas." he said and pointed at me

"Either you become a witness or you become a Prospect Suspect." I stopped when I heard what he said

"I'm just protecting you."

"What do I have to do?"

**********

"Hi Po." When I opened the door, Fatima greeted me. one of the VIP Patients that had me hooked. He is a very nice boy and very kind

The feeling that even though he has a serious illness, he is very happy. He is the only child of Mr. Francisco. The Mayor's Son here in Guanzon. And their Family is very rich

"Doesn't your eye hurt when you knit?" I asked him as I placed his food on the side table of his bed

"This is all I can do because I can't get tired or do things that will make me tired." Sadness is evident in the tone of his voice.

"That's why you get better. So you can get out of here. Are you impatient?" I told him while fixing his food

"Maybe I'll just stay here. I don't have anything to go home to. My step mother hates me as well as her daughter who is my step sister. Daddy has changed since Mommy died. There is nothing left for me." He bowed and promised. I felt a pain in my chest. I could see myself in him.

No family

Alone

I'm the same way. I don't have a family and I don't know who I really am

"I'm always afraid of Daddy getting married. When he's around, he's smart, but he almost curses me when Daddy isn't there."

"He wants you to disappear so he can be alone with your Daddy."

"Hmmm.He's the one who did this to me." He pointed to his right leg that was wrapped in bondage.

"He wants to Kill me...."

***************

"Thank you very much for the testimony. It is a great help." Jernie held out his hand. That's right, this girl's name is Jernie

"You will be called to the Hearing. I hope you can attend." Gab approached me.

"Yes. I'll go first." I said goodbye to him.

"I brought you?" It went along with my exit that's why I stopped

"You're going to jump and then take me down to the Hospital? Keri?" I grinned at him

"Yes, I wish.maybe when you commute people will be afraid of you. You'd think there was a Ghost when the sun shone brightly."

"Naughty!" I almost hit him.

"Ops. You were the first." He raised both hands and laughed softly.

That guy is really annoying. not a day goes by that we don't get angry. It's like being gay. Hitting the woman. Rowin is the only one like that. Being handsome is useless if you look gay. That guy is annoying.

**************

"Gab." When I entered the Meeting Room, Jernie greeted me "Oh?" I looked at him

"Did you give Tracy the Witness Protection Program?"

"Hindj why? Is it necessary? We haven't informed the witness yet, right? It's confidential?" My brows furrowed

"Mr. Avila. The Body guard who is the First witness. He said he won't be able to go to the hearing anymore." He sighed. He handed me some papers, so I looked at them immediately.

"He was murdered last night. According to the investigation, he doesn't have any enemies. I feel it's because of the Case."

I rummaged through the Folder. there was a picture of him lying down with two gunshot wounds to his chest.

"You realize it's not about the Case. Maybe Drugs Related?"

"He has no issues involving drugs. When have we had a case like this again.. The Suspect is haunting every witness we have. maybe our suspicions are right. Someone wants to kill the Mayor's son. And if our prediction about the death of Mr. Avila. Tracy's life is in danger."
