Chapter 32
I must have had a very red face earlier because of what Malton said.
"I like you, Verine."
"I will do everything to make you kilig pepe."
I can't get what he said out of my mind. Add to that Mariah's teasing of me.
"With that look, Verjy! I'm not just going to be thrilled, I might even be thrilled!" he said tremblingly.
I just wanted to eat the earth earlier in shame. Mikaela and Mariah laughed heartily. Some of my classmates also gossiped.
Malton only mentioned 'kilig pepe' a few times, and no one was willing to correct him. I didn’t because I was ashamed of him.
"Damn it, Malton is really funny! Doesn't he really know what non means?" he asked me.
Damn you, Mariah! My mind screamed. We were currently walking, so I left the flowers on the front desk first. I don't have a container. For Doc umbok's office!
I slapped his shoulder. "Probably! It's a big foreign country! Very few people know Tagalog... then you're still teaching the wrong thing, it's embarrassing! Those who hear him might think he's rude, even if he's not!" my voice rose.
"Damn it I really want to correct it! It's a really funny case! Where else would he use that word? I want to know!" he said laughing.
I slapped his shoulder again. "Damn! You fooled Malton!" I yelled.
"Atlis he won't fool you, you might even cheat on him!" meaningfully he said.
It says so?
"I don't know about you," I said him. I will walk first.
He chased me quickly, it was on my side. "Don't you like doc? How is that, his brother likes you?" he asked in astonishment.
I sighed heavily.
I also do not know. Did I know that Malton was making it beautiful to me? I mean, yes I'm gorgeous, but I don't really think that he will like me.
He was smart, handsome and rich. I’m sure he also wants a smart woman like him.
But so is doc umbok! Smart, handsome, rich and have a big bulge! I’m sure he’s the same type of woman, smart!
Damn it!
Unlike me... I never really thought of it.
Yes I'm beautiful, but I'm not that smart. Many told me how they felt, that's normal for me.
But the effect of Malton's confession was different, maybe because in the first place I considered him a friend, yes I fell in love with him, that's all and maybe because I like his brother doc umbok.
I was alone in front of the doc!
My first kiss is her sister!
Wait, does doc bulge like me too like Malton? Yes he kissed me but that doesn't mean he likes me.
There's no clarification if he likes me the way I like him. Unlike what Malton did, he confessed to me.
Everything that happens to me is insane! It's just my birthday and it's like this!
My thoughts stopped when Mariah shouted, she was looking behind me.
"Aunt!" I turned around.
Is it morning? Did you think he had an appointment with the doc this afternoon?
Even though Tit has arthritis, he still walks fast. Have it in front of us.
"Hello, aunt!" said Mariah.
"Hello, Riah." Tit smiled.
"Your appointment is this afternoon Tit ah?"
"My knee suddenly hurt," he promised, still holding his knee.
"That hurts and then you speed up to walk Tit!" I promised him.
"If I slow down, the pain will last longer if I speed up and walk alone," he said.
That's another philosophy Tit ah.
"Am I too early?" he asked.
"Not really aunt," Mariah replied smiling.
"Why is Riah smiling at this?" Tit asked suspiciously.
Damn! Mariah might say what happened earlier!
I stared at Mariah. Laugh at it. Tit's eyes narrowed at the two of us.
"I haven't had breakfast yet Tit, let's go to the doc, to see that, maybe your knee will hurt even more if you prolong it," I said to Tit.
I turned to Mariah.
"We're first, we'll see you later." I stared at it. I sighed again.
I’m really going to be damned here with Mariah! I knew by the time Tit found out to admit and Malton gave me a flower his arthritis would go away! That'll pinch me in the groin, that's for sure!
When I arrived at doc umbok's office he wasn't there. Rhea said go to the patient we went to yesterday.
Maybe she visited?
Yes, that's broken.
He had nothing to do, so maybe go there first. Since I am an assistant, I will insert this Tit first.
We went to that patient’s room. The door was open so I went straight. The man turned first, he smiled when he saw me. I smiled at him, the smile on his face didn't last long. He shifted his gaze to Tit who was beside me. The smile disappeared from her lips, her eyes widened and her mouth fell open.
Doc turned in our direction. His face is serious, why isn't Doc umbok surprised?
Maybe Tit is beautiful, they're probably the same age. Tit is right here, he's the one I'm referring to retreat with him.
I turned to Tit when I heard him whisper, just right for me to hear.
"Herardio."
