Chapter 10: Get Together (continuation)

“Oh this? It’s nothing much really, just salad. I hope you like it.” She said with a smile lit on her face.

“You didn’t have to bring anything. but thanks anyway.” I said. We went to the kitchen, I place the salad inside the refrigerator. I offered Twinx some juice then invited her to sit at the living room. I don’t know why, but Pare doesn’t like anyone staying in the kitchen while he’s cooking.

“So what have you been up to lately?” Twinx asked.

“umm.. I’m a surgeon now.” I smiled.

“Really? What kind? I mean, what’s your specialty?” she asked with so much interest.

“Neuro. But I also do general surgery.” I answered again, keeping my smile.

“Oh really? Why don’t you try plastic surgery? You know, I’ve got this friend who’s a plastic surgeon, and she earns a ton of money….blah blah blah” So she went on and on about her friend who became rich because of her job, and then the topic jumped to something else. I couldn’t relate anymore to whatever she was talking about. I just nodded and smiled at anything she says. Good thing my phone started ringing.

“umm.. excuse me for a moment Twinx. I have to take this call.” I said and stood up. Thank goodness I could breathe again. It was Doc who was calling, eh said he was going to be late because he has to finish a few things. I went to the kitchen right after we hung up.

“Pare, doc will be a little late. He suddenly had to take care of a few things.” I told Pare.

“Okay Pare.” he said without looking up from what he was doing. I left right after to give the privacy that he needed. I don’t get it, but I play along with it. I went back to the couch where I left Twinx. I had no other choice anyway. I don’t know, I just feel like my heart is too heavy towards her. I just can’t feel her. I just don’t feel like wasting my talking to her. UGH! -__-

“So you’re boyfriend is a also a doctor?” she asked.

Here we go again.

“Yes. He’s also a surgeon.” I said.

“Where did you two meet???” she asked suddenly all excited.

“Med school.” I felt awkward.

“How long…” she didn’t get to finish her sentence when I cut her off.

“Hey, have you seen this flick? Want to watch it? It’s really nice!” I said trying to sound all excited and happy about the movie. I didn’t wait for her answer and just played the movie right away. I’ve already seen this movie countless times, but if it was the only way for her to shut up, then I’d be glad to watch this movie no matter how many times more. At last peace and quiet! As soon as the movie was almost over Pare called from the kitchen,

“Dinner’s ready!”

“Okay!” I yelled back at him, I stood up and faced Twinx “ excuse me for awhile. I’ll just set the table.”

“Let me help too.” She said standing up.

Oh the horror! “No, no. It’s okay. I can manage.” I said.

“No, please. Let me help.” She insisted.

Like seriously! “Thanks, but you’re my guest. You should just chill and sit down.”

“But…”

OH COME ON!

“Thank you. Really. But it’s okay. I can manage.” I said. She sat down and I smiled at her. “thanks for the offer though.”

Preparing the table made me relax. I don’t know. For some reason it took my mind off the pressure of ‘what’ may happen later this evening. I don’t know why, but I feel so stressed right now. It’s like I feel more relaxed running around the hospital each time someone pages me.

After finishing the table, I helped Pare put some finishing touches to his ‘masterpiece’ (that’s what he called it). Then the doorbell buzzed, I was about to go get it, but Twinx volunteered to get it for me. So I just let her. When I came out of the kitchen I saw Doc having a little chit-chat with Twinx.

“Hey!” Doc stood up as soon as he saw me.

“Hey.” I said, then he kissed me on the cheeks.

“I brought a little something, hope you like it, I know it’s your favorite.” He said, then he handed me my favorite bottle of red wine. I smiled at him.

“Oh.. by the way, hon this is Twinx, Pare’s girlfriend” I said “Twinx this is my boyfriend Doc.”

“It’s nice to meet you.” Twinx said, then she held out her hand to doc.

“Same here.” Doc said and shook her hand smiling.

“Okay now that everybody’s here, let’s eat!” Pare said coming out of nowhere.

We all went to the dining room and started dinner. Dinner was great, I mean it was my Pare who cooked it. Even Doc was impressed with his cooking.

“No wonder she’s getting fatter.” Doc said with a laugh, obviously referring to me. “With the food you cook for her, wow! Even I could get used to this. Now, you should cook for me too!” and with that we all laughed. I could see how flattered Pare was. But I have to admit I was a bit uncomfortable when Doc made that comment. I don’t know, but I felt awkward that I didn’t understand.

So far dinner was fun. Everybody got along well, and no tension happened between parties, which is good. For desert we ate the salad that Twinx brought. It was good, though not my kind of taste but it was okay, everyone seemed to like it.

After dinner, we all had a little chat then we watched some movies. Everything felt a bit odd for me, spending the night with other people other than Pare. I don’t know. But that’s how I feel.

After a few movies and one empty bottle of red wine, it was time to unwind a little and talk just to keep each other sober. While they were all happily chatting I politely excused myself. I still had to clean up all the dishes, instead of waiting for them to leave, I decided to start doing them now. So when they leave I could go straight to bed and rest. A little while later Pare came into the kitchen.

“What are you doing here?” I asked without stopping what I was doing.

“Came to help.” He said taking a towel and picking up a plate.

“Why? What was happening back there?” I asked taking a peek outside. I saw Doc and Twinx having a good conversation. “They seem to be getting along very well.”

“Well yeah, apparently they found a lot of things to talk about. It seems like the plastic surgeon that Twinx was talking about is a good friend of Doc. And from there they kicked it off.” He said still wiping the dishes.

“Why’d you leave?” I asked.

“I couldn’t relate to their topic. And as if I could even say anything, I mean look at them, they’re talking as if they are the only people in this planet.” He said sarcastically, then we both laughed and started talking and building our own world too.

While talking to Pare, I was thinking in the back of mind, would it have been better if we switched partners? I’d surely be happy with Pare and I’m pretty sure those two would be happy together. Hmm.. it was just a thought.

After all the dishes done, and after a very long conversation between Twinx and Doc, they finally decided it was time to go home and rest. And plus, all of us have work tomorrow. So everybody started saying goodbyes. And then they all left with smiles on their faces.

Before heading upstairs I made sure everything is where it’s supposed to be. Then I prepared for bed. When I was already lying at my bed no matter how much I turn from side to side I just couldn’t sleep. Until I just found myself staring at the ceiling, it was painted to look like the night sky. I few minutes later I realized that I’ve been thinking how I’d actually be much more happier I was still in the arms of Pare.

Then suddenly I became confused. I suddenly became unsure of my feelings. I thought that I was already over him and that all the feelings that I have left for him is just as a friend.

I always thought that I’ve already moved on and that the person who I really want to be with is Doc. But just all of a sudden everything on my mind is questioned by the feelings of my heart. I became very confused. It felt like someone was telling me ‘do you really want to be with Doc? Or are you just saying that because you’re thinking that being with Pare is wrong? But that’s what you really want, right? You’re just forcing yourself to believe that Doc is the person you like because that’s what you think is right. Am I correct?’ UGH! I was really really confused already.

Why is this happening to me? Why did I suddenly become confused? I’m pretty sure that the person I really truly like is Doc. But no matter how much I deny it to myself, my heart still actually belongs to Pare! Enough! Enough! ENOUGH! Please! Give me a rest. I’m really confused. >___<

I don’t know what to do anymore. Whatever! I’ll just sleep through this! I just need some rest, right rest, and tomorrow I’m sure it will all be gone and everything’s going to be fine. ‘is everything really going to be fine?’ asked that little voice inside me. Ugh! But eventually a little later I fell asleep.

Chapter 11: Bracelet

The next day I got up early than I had too. I received an urgent message from the hospital they needed me ASAP. An accident happened, so I hurriedly made my way.

When I arrived everything was so chaotic. I’ve never seen the hospital this un-organized! It was such a mess. So I got to work. All day I’ve been running around doing surgery after surgery. It was a good thing that I didn’t have any major surgery scheduled that day. Around dawn the next morning, everything finally settled down at the hospital. I didn’t do much anymore, just checked up on my patients.

I was on my way to one of my patients when I saw Doc at the hallway. He was busy looking at some results so he didn’t really notice me, which was okay because we have our priorities straight, and our first priority is our patients. The only thing was that seeing Doc brought back all my thoughts last night.

I didn’t really get it. Why is this happening now? Just when I thought everything has fallen into place, then all these ‘feelings’ happen. I really don’t need this right now. The only thing is, I don’t know what to do. I was really confused with my feelings, but I tried my best to forget it. I didn’t need those right now. I had a lot of things to do that day, so eventually I forgot about those thoughts.

===
Sacred Night! As usual, Pare spent the night at my place. The doubts of both parties about our movie nights, has been erased. Doc and Twinx are actually more worried if Pare and I aren’t together. And with that their trust towards us was developed. They’ve both accepted the fact that we are just really best friends and nothing or no one can change that.

The next morning when I woke up Pare has already gone to work. But he was thoughtful enough to prepare breakfast for me. He even placed it beside my bedside table. I was so touched. After finishing breakfast, I decided to clean the house. I’ve been so busy these days that I didn’t have much time to clean. So I decided to take this opportunity.

When I was at the bathroom arranging all my products, I saw something shining by the sink. When I went over to look at it. What I saw surprised me. It was the bracelet I gave Pare for our 2nd anniversary. I couldn’t explain the feelings I felt when I saw the bracelet. I was happy because after all these years he still has the bracelet I gave him. And having found it here, means he still wears it. I wonder why I never noticed it. I was happy and sad while looking at the bracelet. Somehow it brought back memories when we were still dating each other, I suddenly felt a little regret inside, for not fighting for us before. It made me realize once more that we’ve both really been through a lot together.

After cleaning I sat down in front of the TV still holding the bracelet. When someone suddenly paged me. I was needed at the hospital immediately. I hastily readied myself to leave and unconsciously wore the bracelet. The whole day I felt the presence of Pare, as if he was with me the whole time. I felt secured. Could it possibly be because of the bracelet? I didn’t want to return the bracelet to him anymore. I wanted to keep it to myself. I was thinking that, if he asks about it then I’d give it back.

After that, Pare and I seldom saw each other. We had less and less time for our sacred nights, for calls, or even simple messages. We became too busy with a lot of things that our communication started to fade again, but we tried our best to keep in touch. We’d at least try to e-mail each other every other week other than that, nothing. I’d have to say, I miss Pare, but I also think that this is for the best. At least now I can have my space.

Every night I’d think about my true feelings. Until I’ve come to realize that it’s much better if I’m with Doc and to just keep my relationship with Pare purely a plutonic relationship. It would be better and that way there won’t be any more problems. So I’m also glad that we didn’t get to spend more time together because the more that I’m with him all the more my feelings deepen.

So I told myself that this is what I really want. I have convinced myself that this is it and that in time I will also learn to give my whole heart to Doc, ‘cause that’s the right thing to do. That’s what I would do, because it’s for the best. And because of that I survived so many weeks and months without Pare by my side.

‘Then why do you still wear the bracelet?’ asked this little voice inside me. Seriously my conscience always has to make a side comments. Well, I still wear this bracelet because I did say to myself that I’d still be friends’ with him. My decisions never meant that I would shut him out of my life completely. At least, I’d still want something to remember about the things we’ve both shared together.
