“You know, Minakels, until now I still don't know why Tricia suddenly gave birth, eh. You know that, suddenly getting married out of time? Just because you have a baby? Gosh! ”
Lily was drunk when I arrived. She said they bared her old friends so here she is and saying stupid things.
"What's the problem about that?"
She took the lemon and salt and devoured it. My stomach is sour in what she's doing.
"No, eh, it looks more like—" she stood up and ran to the kitchen. She will probably vomit again.
When I was left alone, Tranz suddenly came to my mind. Is it normal for me to feel sorry for him despite what he did to me? Is it okay to forgive him this easily?
I bit my lip when I remembered how he looked. He was like a child abandoned by his parents. But in sum, it seems that this is what is really happening to him because he no longer has a parent.
And you even became a suspect in the death of his father, ‘didn’t you?
I sighed again.
"That depth, ah?" Lily was back and sat back in her seat. “My vote is really for you, Minakels. Why don't you like my brother? He is kind. Professional. He is handsome and most of all he has beautiful siblings. ”
"Beautiful but noisy sister," I joked.
" Whatever. But think about it, Minakels, my brother is handsome and you are also beautiful so your child will be beautiful or handsome. ”
"I couldn't agree more ..." I smiled at what she said because of the way she looked. She almost closed her eyes, maybe because she was drowsy. But here she is, though she's drunk, she still maintains her good looks.
My cell phone rang. Seth is calling through Messenger. I answered it. I would have spoken if Lily hadn't answered again.
"But....you don't like my brother ..."
Seth and I looked at each other and smiled at the same time. "I really don't like your brother," I replied to Lily before I stood up and patted her. "Sleep. I'll just talk to this handsome doctor we're talking about. ”
"Sure ..."
I went into my room and talked to Seth. He was still wearing a scrub suit so he was probably still on duty.
"Hi, beautiful ..." he greeted me immediately.
"Hello, Mr. Flatterer."
"How did I become a flatterer?" He raised his eyebrows but in a masculine way.
"Because you always sugarcoat what you say to me ?" I answer. "So, tell me, how many nurses, doctors and patients were spellbound on your first day at the hospital there in New York?"
"So, you're jealous of that?"
Suppose I frown. "Even if I'm jealous, eh, I can't do anything about it."
"It's just you, eh ..."
"What am I again?" I suppressed my smile.
Do you know the feeling that your heart is full because you are just talking to the person who made you feel that you are the most special person in his or her life? That’s how I feel now.
It’s a good feeling that even then with Tranz, I didn’t feel.
The matter of fact is that I was worried because I thought he was sulking at me because we didn’t separate in a good way the night we were still in California. But knowing Seth, he’s so kind and understanding. But I don’t want to take him for granted.
But what are you doing right now?
"You don't even want to—"
“Shhh ...” I put my finger on my lips to stop him from talking. “We will get there. Coming soon, Seth. I just ... ”
"You want to get revenge first?"
"I don't know that now," I confessed to him. "Tranz and I met at the hospital ..."
"And?"
“Will you get hurt when—”
"If you'll admit to me that you kissed him?"
Gradually my eyes widened. I wasn’t expecting that.
“You know that? How? Are they from the paparazzi? Online? ”
"Lily told me."
I nodded. "Are you mad?"
"Do you still feel anything for him?" Instead of him answering my question, that’s what he said.
"You know how I feel towards Tranz now, Seth ..."
“Yeah, I know. Why can I forget that you hate him? And I’m afraid that your anger might turn to love again. ”
"That's not going to happen, Seth, because ..." I deliberately hung up what to say so I could see his reaction.
"What now?"
“We met at the casino. I purposely went there because according to Samantha, Tranz used to hangout there. I wasn't disappointed because we met there. But he looks different. He’s high, wasted. I don’t even know how to explain his looks. And by the looks of him, I feel sorry for him. ”
“And you’re skeptical about your plan now?”
“Uhm, yeah? What do you think? Should I move on? The dark part of my life is over. And it's funny to say that I should be thankful to those who hurt me because if they hadn't deceived me I wouldn't have reached where I am today. ”
He smiled because of what I said. A genuine smile.
“I hope your decision will be final. But don’t worry, I’m always behind you and be supportive. I really don't want your revenge plan. You may be the only one who gets hurt in the end. ”
Despite gadgets being the only source of communication, the concern in his voice didn't scape from my ears.
"Seth, we already talked about this ..."
"I understand you, Ups ..."
My forehead furrowed then my eyes narrowed at him.
Tsk! It's been only a few days since we have not been together and then he is, talking about certain Ups? The heck! What was that?! Their endearment?
I feel like my heart is pounding because of what I heard. Did I misheard it? Or maybe he was just confused and he ended up calling me Ups because that's what his mouth always says?
Jealousy much, Mina?
Damn it! I’m not. I trust Seth. But—
"Ups?"
“What is that Ups ?! Are you asleep, Seth, or are you still sleepy ?! ”
He was smiling but it was obvious that he was holding back a smile so the result was that he went.
“Stop making fun of me, Seth! I’m asking you ... Who is that Ups? ”
"You. I want to call you Ups from now on ... ”
"And why is that?"
"Because I will never let you down."
I couldn’t help but grin. Damn, he’s good and sweet ..
"I thought it was ..."
“There’s no one who can replace you, Mina ... Did anyone tell you that you’re so beautiful when you’re jealous?”
I averted my gaze even more and I knew my face was red from the heat on my cheek.
"Stop that, Seth ..."
“Why? Is it wrong to praise my beautiful wife? ”
