Hello, Mr. Mayor!

"Keighlanie!" narining kong tili ng kaibigan ko ng papalabas na ako sa port. She is still as beautiful as ever as she stood behind her matte black Raptor. "Ari!" tili ko as I went directly at her to give her a hug. Its been a month since we last saw each other. "Kumusta ka na?" I ask her while helping her place my things at the back of her car. "well, simula nung binigay sa akin nina lola ang pamamalakad sa Hospital ay nakalimutan ko na ang mundo. Hindi na ako magkakalove life nito bru parang gusto ko ng sumuko sa pagiging Doctor. Pero ikaw? Bakit ka nga ba biglang pumunta dito ha? " pabirong sabi nito " Mom, dad, the death of my twin brother plus the cheating Christian" di pa man ako nakapag explain ay agad akong niyakap ni Ari, there is no need for me to explain everything Ari knows every part of my being. She and Rosie are my best friends. "Salamat Ari. By the way, okay na ba yung sabi ko sayo?" tanong ko habang papalabas na kami sa gate ng Port "Oo naman, sure ka na ba talaga na ayaw mo sa Mansion? Mom will be grateful" "Naku! Tapos kapag busy ka sa hospital ehh maiiwan ako? Alam mo naman kapag naiwan ako kasama ni Tita Eva diba?" Ari laughed upon hearing my response. Kapag kasama ko ang mama niya ay kung ano na lang ang ginagawa nito aabot pa sa punto na ipapakilala ka sa mga binatang anak ng kakilala niya. " Yeah right! Baka madamay na naman ang pagiging single ko bru." While on our way, Ari and I talked a lot of things me having completed my masters of medicine, Rosie's relationship with Ari's brother, Ari's management of Dona Soledad Hospital. My break up with Christian which leaves her furious as ever siguro kung andito lang ang taong yun he might be dead already. At siyempre, ang pagiging childish pa rin namin hanggang ngayon. Ilang minuto lang ay nakarating na kami sa Condo na pag-aari nilang magpipinsan. "Siya nga pala Keigh, you'll be staying here at the City Block sa penthouse mismo. Pag-aari namin yung magpipinsan and I already talked to them that you'll be staying there for the mean time mas mainam doon kasi nandito lang sa kabisera minsan doon ako umuuwi pero kadalasan sa hospital na ako mismo natutulog but don't worry pupuntahan kita lagi dito" ang mahabang paliwanag ni Ari. Nagbigay lang ito ng instruction sa tauhan doon saka kami dumeretso sa elevator papunta sa penthouse. Wow is the only word that pops out in my mind right now. The interior was superb para bang mawawala ang pagod o iniisip mo. Pagpasok pa lang bumulaga na ang napaka spacious na living/entertainment room. Sa right side may 3 steps na hagdan kung saan nakahilera ang 5 kwarto. It has a spacious kitchen and a dining table. "this whole place was designed for comfort. Alam mo naman kung gaano kami ka busy diba? Kaya kapag napuno kami sa mga ginagawa namin dito kami nagtatago upang magrelax. Meron kaming 5 rooms lahat yan may sariling susi for privacy purposes you know may kanya-kanya kaming ka ek-ekan sa buhay. The 2nd door will be your room" turo ni Ari sa kwarto. Hinila niya naman ako sa sliding door na malapit sa dining table, at first, akala ko terrace pero nagkamali ako mayroon itong sariling swimming pool at Jacuzzi. What made my heart jump? It's the view, makikita mo ang kulay asul na dagat at ang kulay berde na bulubundukin. It felt like a panorama. "by the way Keigh ang Bathroom at comfort room namin nandoon sa dulong bahagi ng mga kwarto. Ewan ko ba kung bakit ako pumayag na walang sariling banyo sa kwarto nagsisisi na tuloy ako. May konting stocks pa sa ref at kung ano-anu pa sa pantry. Mamimili na lang tayo mamaya sa Supermarket ng mga kakailanganin mo kasi alam ko na ayaw mo na may nagse-serve para sayo tapos kadalasan alas 7 ng umaga dumadating ang taga linis dito" mahabang litanya ni Ari. Halatang nagmamadali kasi tumawag ang taga Hospital sa kanya kanina. "hayy naku! Nagmamadali ang ale, pwede ka nang pumunta sa hospital Doc Ari. I can manage myself at magpapahinga na muna ako ang haba kaya ng byahe ko. We'll catch up soon, okay?" " sorry, keigh. Babawi ako sayo ha. If you need anything don't hesitate to call me, okay? " " naku! Para naman akong bata niyan. You go, it's our duty to help people you know" I winked and smiled at my best friend. Pagkatapos umalis ni Ari ay agad akong pumanhik sa kwarto. Nasa kalagitnaan ako ng pag-aayos when my phone beeps. Christian: where are you? Please, talk to me. It wasn't me, I did not shoot your brother napatunayan na sa investigation yun. Me: So? That doesn't change the fact that you cheated and betrayed me . We are over! Stop bothering me! I immediately blocked him. I'm done crying, i'm done grieving and i'm done mourning, I will no longer allow them to hurt me with their lies again. Keanne. I can't help but still cry, my twin brother died on my watch. He was shot six times, namatay ng walang kalaban-laban. He was rushed in Montesilva hospital, I am performing surgery when complications after complications happened I tried everything I could do but he gave up already. The gunshot wound in his heart took my twin brother away from me. It's been a year pero di ko pa rin makakalimutan ang imahe ng kapatid ko struggling for his own life. Never will I forgive them both Christian and Louise my brother's girlfriend, they cheated on us and even took my twin's life.
