Wish Upon A Storm

Dakota's POV. "Emergency! Dra. Sy and Dra. Montenegro, room 306 and 107" sigaw nung nurse. "I know" mataray na sagot ni Celestine, at umikot pa ang paningin nito, "Anong tingin mo di ko naiintindihan yang alarm na yan?" sabay turo doon sa dashboard namin. "Sorry po Dra" sabi nito at yumuko. "Tabi" sabi ni Celestine at naglakad na, rinig na rinig ko ang lagatok ng heels nya sa tiles naming lapag. "Pasensya ka na, hayaan mo na yung si Celestine, wala kasing boyfriend kaya ganyan" sabi ko at humagikgik habang tinatapik sa balikat ang nurse. "Dra Sy" sabi nito na tila maiiyak na pero pinipigilan ng ang pagtawa. "Dakota!" sigaw sakin ni Celestine. "Ito na nga eh!" sabi ko at humabol sa kaibigan kong dalaga pa pero parang menopausal na. "Ang sungit sungit mo!" pagbibiro ko dito. "Tsk, makapagbiro ka sakin na wala pa kong boyfriend, akala mo ikaw meron na" sabi nito at tumawa ng mahina. That's Celestine Snow Montenegro, co-owner namin ang pamilya nya sa hospital na ito. She is also a doctor, She's older than me ng ilang taon. She's still single and you guessed it right, dahil sa pagiging picky at sobrang sungit nya. "Meron no!" sabi ko dito, tinaasan naman nya ako ng kilay. "Sino? Tagal na nating magkaibigan, alam kong patay na patay ka sa kapatid ko, kaya wag ako. Layas, doon ka sa 306. Ako na dito sa 107. See you later" sabi nito at pumasok na sa room. Naglakad ako patungo sa elevator para marating ang 3rd floor. I looked at myself in the mirror ng elevator. I am Dakota Heather Sy, isa din akong doktor and I am also a well know harpist. Hindi ko pa ata nasasabi, meron pala akong kakambal. We're identical, up until now nako confused pa din samin ang mga tao. My twin sister's name is Paris Marie Sy, she's an architech, madalas kaming mapagkumpara dahil sya ang paboritong anak nila mama, she grew up with a heart ailment pero dahil sa yaman at kapangyarihan namin, gumaling sya nung teenager na kami. Pagpasok ko sa room ay nagkakagulo ang mga tao. I wore my gloves and mask. Being a doctor is giving most of your time sa ibang tao. You have to accept na madalas ay makakapagligtas ka ng buhay pero minsan hindi mo talaga sila maisasalba. When I experienced that, kung saan unang beses akong mamatayan ng pasyente. It was really heartbreaking. I was crying the whole day and that's when I first met Celestine. "Oh, anong iniiyak-iyak mo dyan? Kamag anak ka ba?" nagulat ako ng naka-pamewang ito at halos umabot sa kisame ang taas ng kilay. Baguhan pa lang ako nun at kilala na sya bilang head doctor, she is just not beautiful and powerful but really a smart one. "Don't you know na sa oras na iniiyak mo, you could've save more, being a doctor doesn't end here. We are more than just life saver, kaya please wag kang mag inarte dyan at tumayo ka na dahil hindi ako nagpa pacify ng mada-drama" See? That's how mean she is pero as years go by, nakilala ko sya. She is really soft-hearted and caring pero you just have to break the walls. She is a very loving daughter, sobrang close nya ang parents nya. Speaking of her parents, isa sila sa mga nagpapaniwala sakin na, marriage is not boring, Tito Thunder and Tita Akira is a proof na kapag nahanap mo na ang the one mo, kahit na ano pang mangyari, kayo at kayo pa din. And I know you are all curious. Yes, Celestine have a brother na a year older than me and that is no other than, Dalfon Storm Montenegro Tagapagmana ng S&M - isang multi-billion dollar company. He is also a graduate of Engineering pero hindi nya na ginamit ang degree nya, he is really focused sa pagmamana at pagha handle ng company nila. He also likes outdoor activities like hiking, kayaking, surfing and other stuff. Sabi ni Tita Akira, namana nya daw ang kasungitan ni Tito Thunder pero I think he is much more masungit or baka nag mellow na si Tito Thunder? Maybe you are wondering, how do I know so much about him? Well, ever since lang naman tumuntong ako ng grade school kung saan nakita ko syang sumali sa laban ng fencing, hindi na yata nawala ang paningin ko sa kanya. I've always wanted to be around him pero masyado syang mailap, lahat halos ng Montenegro, maliban lang siguro kay Tita Akira at Tito Cloud na kapatid ni Tito Thunder, may asawa ito na kahit tingnan ka palang nakakatakot na, si Tita Luna. Kita mo naman diba? Napaka trying hard ka na ultimo sa pamilya nya ay naging close ako. Lumaki din kasi ako na araw-araw kaming nagkikita dahil halos araw-araw ako sa bahay nila pero bata pa lang masungit na sya at distant kaya di pa din kami naging close. We became close nung mag attempt akong sumali sa Polo Group na kinabibilangan nya, hindi ako marunong mangabayo pero just to be with him, gagawin ko talaga lahat. He decided to teach me pero ang kapalit ay I'll help him with his English Lit and History Class na to be honest kaya nya naman kaso nabo bored nga daw syang aralin. We became so close na minsan napapagkamalan kaming mag boyfriend-girlfriend Not until my dear sister came back from the US after her treatment. At doon, walang pasabi, inagaw nya ang atensyon ni Storm. Sa isang iglap parang ako yung naging saling pusa sa kwento, pero hindi ko gustong saktan ang kapatid ko, hindi ko gustong magkasakit sya ng dahil sakin kaya hinayaan ko. Akala ko kakayanin ko at baka mawala nalang na parang bula ang nararamdaman ko pero as the years go by, mas lumalalim, mas nasasaktan ako kapag nakikita ko silang magkasama, nagtatawanan at close na close. And last 2 years ago ng officially, Paris became Storm's girlfriend. In a snap, parang gumuho ang mundo ko. Paris knew how much I love him, I wrote letters and emails to her nung nasa US sya tapos pag uwi nya, ganun na lang? Kukunin na lang nya bigla sakin lahat? In the last 2 years, sinubukan kong umiwas sa kanila, pati sa pamilya ko. I dedicated myself on studying and working as a doctor. Natapos ko agad ang emergency sa room na iyon kaya napagdesisyunan kong umakyat sa opisina ni Celestine, tapos na din siguro sya. Nung makarating ako doon, I knocked pero walang sumagot, I decided na doon na lang maghintay sa kanya dahil pabalik na din naman siguro ito. As I was walking to her table ay may nakita akong gold and white na sobre, I was about to ignore it but I accidentally read my sister's name. Kinuha ko iyon at binasa. You are invited to our wedding Paris Marie Sy and Dalfon Storm Montenegro Hindi ko napansin na tuloy-tuloy na pala ang pagbagsak ng luha ko. Are they really getting married? Sa sobrang pag iyak ko ay hindi ko namalayan ang pagpasok ni Celestine. "I heard Stormy proposed to her about a month ago nung nagbakasyon sila sa US, hindi ko agad nalaman agad dahil alam nilang tututol ako. I'm sorry for the word, I don't like your sister, you know the reason why, hindi ko mapapatawad basta basta ang tulad ng kapatid mong mang aagaw" I am still looking at the invitation. I remembered that Celestine told me na he was being courted by someone for years and when she was about to say yes to him, my sister started flirting/dating that guy. "Celestine, hindi ko to kaya" sabi ko. Lumapit sya sakin at pinunasan ang mga luha ko. "I love him, I love your brother, more than anything, anyone" dagdag ko. "I know, and kaya naniniwala ako na nobody else except from you deserve him pero lunod na lunod sya sa kakambal mo" sabi nito at niyakap ako. "I already told you, I'm not good at comforting people" "I know, it's just that- "Our mom said, Storm is like our Dad but worst, mom always joked that making him love you is like wishing upon a storm, cause listen to me, he is a Montenegro, isa syang delubyo" I was willing to go and face anything for him. I was willing to break my own heart just to be with him. "D, my brother, he is something else. Don't get me wrong, he is loving and all pero he can break you. I don't want him to-" she stop. "Please, don't do anything stupid" What does it take for him to love me? -------- To be continued. Let me know what you think Vote and comment! 09/01/2020 - Noona KayeEinstein
