Chapter 11 - Married

Everytime na pumapasok siya sa RAGOC MEDS napapailing siya, its been eight years mula ng ipinatayo ng brother niya ang Hospital na tu, mula ng malaman nitong gusto niyang mag Doctor nag decide sila ni Ate Rozen na magtayo ng sariling Hospital nila, ayaw talaga nila na malayo kami sa isa't isa especially Ate Rozen kahit pa nasa south ito nung panahon nasa West kami, we could still felt her protectiveness.

I'm still grateful sa mga kapatid ko dahil tinanggap pa rin nila nung minsan lumihis ako ng daan. Kahit pa dumating ang mga anak ko hindi nila ako tinakwil tinanggap nila ako and they never ask for explaination kung bakit nabuntis ako, they respect my silence.

"Good Morning Doc"

"Good Morning" bati niya sa mga Nurses at Doctor na nasasalubong niya.

"Ang ganda talaga ni Doc Scarlet"

"Oo nga! Everytime na pumapasok siya sa hospital mukha siyang model na rumarampa sa catwalk"

"Ang swerte ng asawa niya"

"What? She's married?"

"Yung ang rinig ko, alangan naman na dalagang ina siya?"

"Ang cute kaya ang babies niya! Quadruplets din! Lahi talaga nila ang mga kambal"

"Ay sus! Kung ganoon din ka gaganda ang mga anak ko ayos lang na maging dalagang ina ako oi!"

"Tama! Tama! Tapos look at Doc Scar does she need a man!?"

Napailing na lang sa mga usapan ng mga Nurses. Nagkibit balikat na lang siya sa mga narinig niya. Her Ate Rozen trained her to ignore gossips kasi di daw yun makakatulong sa kanya which is very true.

For now she's one of the Attending Physician in the Hospital, she's one of the Heart Specialist, nasa lahi nila ang pagiging matalino kaya mabilis niya natapos ang residency niya at ngayon she's pursuing another specialty, she wants to become a neurosurgeon.

She's quiet happy kasi nalaman niya na her sister Rozen is dating the genius doctor of the East Country, Raige Dela Vega atleast kung magkatuluyan ito at ang Ate niya hindi na lang siya ang nag iisang Doctor sa family.

"Doc Scarlet" Napalingon siya sa tumawag sa kanya, si Doctor Fuego pala kagaya niya Heart Specialist din ito.

"Is there a problem Doc Fuego?" Siguro kung nabubuhay ang Daddy niya magkasing ka edad lang siguro sila ni Doctor Fuego.

"I want you to see these" He gave me a medical report of one of the patient.

"HCM?" Napatango ang si Doctor Fuego, the patient has Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is associated with thickening of the heart muscle, most commonly at the septum between the ventricles, below the aortic valve. This leads to stiffening of the walls of the heart and abnormal aortic and mitral heart valve function, both of which may impede normal blood flow out of the heart.

" I want to ask a favor to you"

"Want me to operate him?" Doctor Fuego nodded.

"His my cousin and you're one of the best Doctor I knew Doc Allastre, I know you can perform Septal Myectomy to him"

I smiled. How can I refuse? Doc Fuego has been good to her.

"Okay Doc, give me his medical records"

"Thank you Doc Scarlet"

Nasa bahay siya at pinag aaralan ang medical records ni Mr. Gabriel, she's confident this will be a successful operation.

"Ate I heard Zenon Smith went to the office" Napalingon kami kay Ate Rozen, lahat kami dito sa bahay alam na minsan hinabol habol ng Ate nila si Zenon.

Sunday family time, nasa pool ang mga anak ko, si Ate Ariz at Kuya Blood sila ang nagbabantay sa mga ito, silang magkakapatid na babae naghahanda ng makakain nila.

"Yes, his claiming that his my fiancee"

"Sabagay naman Ate eight years ago you've been announcing to everyone na fiancee mo siya" si Cerise

"Am I that bad?" Ate Rozen asked, sabay silang napatango na magkakapatid.

" I was just stupid that time and I regret doing those things!"

"Ate about sa mga YU , you think Tita Irene will acknowledge Spade?" Cerise asked, that arranged marriage.

"What if he gets a proof that Tita Irene acknowledge him as his son, so sino sa atin ang magpapakasal sa kanya?" Crim ased.

"Definitely not Scarlet and Crimson" Cerise said.

"Its either me or Flame" saad ulit ni Cerise.

"Bakit hindi ako pwede?" Crim asked.

"Wala kaming plano na makalaban si Luther Grimalde" ako na ang sumagot. Crimson rolled her eyes.

"I can marry him if ever na may proof siya, Spade still my friend"

"You like him?" Ate Rozen asked, palipalipat ang tingin nito kay Flame at Cerise.

"No one's getting married, I'll make sure na hindi tayo magkakaroon ng koneksyon sa pamilyang iyon!" galit na sabi ni Flame, she walked out, I heard Ate sighed and her eyes turned cold.

"Noted my dear sister" Ate Rozen said.

"Ate, I guess Shane really hurt Flame, bullying her and made her lose her confidence iback then leave a scar on Flame" Cerise said sadly.

"Don't worry girls nakalista lahat ng kasalanan ng Shane na yun sa akin, I'll make sure na magbabayad siya" I shiver on how cold Ate Rozen voice is.

We immediatey scheduled the operations matapos kung mabasa ang record ni Mr. Albert Gabriel, the old man was famous dati kasi itong senador kaya pala gusto ni Doc Fuego na lihim ang operasyon dahil galing ito sa isang political family, ang anak daw nito ay current senator of the country. As much as possible walang balita na makalabas tungkol sa sakit nito sa puso, may mga kalaban din ito sa politika, dati kasi marami itong nasagasaan na corrupt na opisyal ng bansa ayaw ng immediate family na kumalat na may sakit.

Doc Fuego decided na sumama sa akin sa operating with the other Doctors na mag aassist sa akin.

Thirty minutes from now mag e start ang operation ko, Tinawagan ko ang mga kapatid ko kahit pa na I have confidence kinakabahan pa rin ako kaya tumatawag ako sa mga kapatid ko pampalakas ng loob. Huli kong tinawagan si Ate Rozen.

"Ate"

"Ano oras operasyon mo? Kumain ka na?" Napangiti siya sa mga tanong ng kapatid, nawala man yung ina nila ng quadru pero di naman sila pinabayaan ng Ate nila.

"Yes po"

"Ano oras operation mo? Stop it Raige! I'm talking to my sister" She rolled her eyes, kasama niya ang si Doc Raige Dela Vega and they are flirting

"Break a leg Miss Scarlet!" Narinig niyang sabi ni Raige

"What kind of statement is that!? Scarlet sweety you can do it! You're the most talented Doctor I knew"

"How about me?" Raige inserted.

"I don't know your achievements unlike my sister 100% success lahat n operation niya! Scar I wish you a successful operation"

"Thank you Ate! And please get some room, Bye" I hanged up. Napailing na lang siya atleast now hindi na nakakatakot ang aura ng kapatid niya dati kasi pag tinitingnan niya ito at ngumingiti ito she shiver alam niyang may wicked plan naman ito.

Ready na ang patient niya.

"Hindi ko akalain na isang napakagandang binibini ang aking Doctor" Napangiti ako sa sinabi ni Sir Albert. Sa mukha nito di mo aakalain na may sakit ito sa puso. Kasama niya ang asawa at pinakabatang anak nito

"Dad naman may sakit ka na nga lumalandi ka pa, Mom oh si Daddy!" Napangiti ako sa tinuran ng anak nito na babae, I think kaka 18 pa lang nito.

"Hoy! Alberto umayos ka! Baka gusto mo e divorce kita"

Napangiti siya sa asaran ng mag asawa.

" Doc may asawa ka na ba? Yung anak kong senador binata pa baka gusto mo kayo na lang?" Nagulat siya sa sinabi ni Mr. Albert

"Hoy Dad! Lagot ka kay Kuya ni rereto mo na naman siya! Pero Doc binata nga Kuya ko baka gusto mo?" Napailing siya sa tinuran nung anak.

"Doc pag pasensyahan mo natung mag ama ko ha! Pero Doc may asawa ka na ba?" His wife.

She gulped.

"Tigilian niyo nga si Scarlet, pag marinig kayo ng mga kapatid niyan baka di pa ipatuloy pag oopera sayo Albert! She's Doc Scarlet Allastre, she belong to the prominent family of Allastre"

Nanlaki ang mata nung anak ni Mr. ALbert.

"OMG! Isa ka sa quadruplets? The Doctor of the Family! I'm a fan Doc, I am Haley Gabriel" Nagtaka siya sa sinabi nito.

"Anak ayos ka lang ba?" Yung ina nito,

"Mom remember two years ago! I brought a famous magazine from the West na THE ELITES, Allastre Family were featured in that magazine! Isa sila sa napili na e feature na one of the Elite Family from the East Country, Her sister Cerise Allastre is the Famous Chef of the Family, Flame Allastre, the Lawyer of the Family, Crimson Allastre the CEO of the Family and Doc Scarlet the Doctor of the Family, and Mr. Blood Allastre and Ms. Rozen Allastre the twin tower of RAGOC, making the Allastre one of the most powerful family not just in the East but in the whole world" The young girl is exaggerating.

"We're not that powerful, Monteverde and the Vismont are more influential and powerful than us, those people were just exaggerating"

"But I heard that your sister Miss Rozen is dating the enigmatic Doctor of the Monteverde Clan" Haley is giggling.

"Haley that's enough! Doc pasensya ka na sa anak ko, by the way I am Hana Gabriel, Doc you're really beautiful"

I just smiled. Napatingin ako sa relos ko.

"Its time"

"Doc I am serious are you married?" Hindi talaga ako titigilan ni Mr. Albert.

"I have kids Sir and Yes I am married" I saw the disappointment on Sir Albert's face. Its been five years and Yes she's married, she didn't regret na dumating ang mga anak niya sa buhay niya but she regret on marrying that man she doubt na hindi pa iyon alam ny mga kapatid niya. Walang impormasyon na hindi alam ang mga kapatid niya tungkol sa kanila.

Pinasok na sa operating room si Sir Albert and after 4-5 hours of operation natapos din, it was a successful operation. Doctor Fuego congratulate her. Sabay sabay silang lumabas na mga Doctor sa operating room, si Doc Fuego na ang bahalang kumausap sa pamilya ni Sir Albert, ililipat na din ito sa ICU for observation kung walang complications pwede na itong ilipat sa private room.

Alas nuewebe na ng gabi, she needs to call her kids dahil baka hanggang ngayon di pa rin ito natutulog.

"How was it?" I heard Ma'am Sera asked. Tumingin ako kay Doc Fuego and nodded to him. He smiled.

"Of course Scarlet is one of our best doctors, its a succesful operation, we still put him in the ICU para maobserbahan kung walang komplikasyon then we can tranfer Albert to the private room" She planned to leave immediately para matawagan ang mga anak niya pero may humila sa kanya.

"Red?!" Nanlaki ang mata niya ng mapagsino ito, Hailey Milton.

"Ate magkakilala kayo ni Doc Allastre?" si Haley.

Napatingin sa kanila si Ma'am Hana.

"Doc Scar this is my second daughter Hailey Gabriel, anak mukhang ki-"

"Ma! Si Papa! Kumusta siya?" Para siyang sinabuyan ng malamig na tubig ng makilala ang bagong dating.

HUNTER MILTON

What on earth is he doing in here? May mga bodyguard pa siyang kasama.

"Hijo buti nandito ka na" Nakangiting sabi ni Ma'am Hana.

Napaisip siya, she's furious! They are from Gabriel Family. They lied to her. She needs to leave. Parang bumabalik ang lahat ng sakit na naramdaman niya five years ago.

"Doc Fuego I need to go" I said coldly.

"Sure Doc Scarlet, Thank you again" I just nodded.

"Doc Scarlet wait! Son this is Doc Scarlet Allastre, she's the one who operate your father, Doc anak ko pala si Senator Hunter Gabriel" Mrs. Hana said I look at him, halata sa mukha nito na gulat siyang makita ako.

The bitterness of her heart is eating her. Naalala niya lahat ng sinabi ni Hailey. She's an orphan so she doesn't belong to their society, na kahit pa pinakasalan siya ni Hunter hindi raw siya matatanggap sa pamilya nito. What really breaks her heart dahil nalaman niyang ginamit lang siya at pinaglaruan ni Hunter.

"You're just a bet Red! Sa tingin mo papatulan ka talaga ng kapatid ko? Everything was just a bet with my brother and my friends, ang cold mo kasi but hey we won the bet!"

"But I got married and I am pregnant"

"So? The marriage is all just a fake! And I don't believe na sa kapatid ko yan! I saw you with that Spade Yu guy! My family will never accept that bastard! You're an orphan hindi ka namin matatanggap sa pamilya namin!"

"No I need to talk to Hunter!"

"Hunter? He went home, his fiancee is waiting for him"

And just like that Hunter left him.
