The Doctor Who Loves Me - Chapter 535
Cali was sobbing hard as she read the letter…
****
“I am sorry for falling in love with you. I can’t help my feelings for you Cali… I tried to hide my feelings not to make you go away from me, but it’s hard. All I see is you whenever I close my eyes and search for you when I open them… I just hate it whenever any man is around you. My heart aches so much seeing you smiling at some other man, Cali, because I love you so much, and the only man I want to see around you watching you smile and with you is myself.
I am not sorry for kissing you last night because I only expressed how my heart feels for you. I am leaving to give you some time to sort out your feelings… I want to give you the space that I know you need. I will always be here for you Cali, waiting for my love to be reciprocated by you…
I will wait for you to come to me… I love you, sweetheart, and I want you to be happy so I will accept whatever decision you will take.”
*****
Cali was sobbing so hard that Selya worriedly rushed to her.
“Where is he?!” she asked between her sobs. She wanted to talk to him but was unable to because when she tried to call Rui his mobile phone was turned off.
“I don’t know as well, ma’am. He only told me that he will call to check how things are going on here. He wanted me to take care of all your needs…” Selya said and left when Cali dismissed her.
Cali did not have the energy to go to the school that day. She did not even have the appetite for breakfast, but she tried to eat a little while she imagined Rui sitting in front of her and scolding her for eating properly.
She grabbed her mobile phone and tried to call him again, but his phone was still off… His number still could not be reached.
She typed a message on her mobile phone for Rui but erased it. She just could not find the right words to express herself. Cali felt like crying again but tried hard not to.
It was her fault that Rui left. She regretted slapping him and running away from him last night, but what had to happen had already happened. She needed to talk to Rui and tell him how she felt, but didn’t know how! He could not be contacted, and she did not even know where he was or any alternate number to call and ask for his whereabouts.
Selya approached her and said, “Ma’am, someone is at the gate. His name is Edward, and he is saying he has come to pick you up.”
Cali exhaled loudly and instructed, “Please let him in and guide him to the living area. I need to talk to him.”
Selya nodded and left while Cali stood up, adjusted her clothes and appearance a little, and went to the living area to see Edward. Soon Edward arrived with a smile and asked in a jest, “Oh, how was I allowed inside the house today? Your grumpy doctor agreed to let me in?”
Then his expression changed when he noticed Cali’s red and swelled up eyes.
“What happened? Were you crying?” he asked in a row.
Cali shook her head and signaled him to sit beside her.
“Edward, I will be skipping classes today because I’m not feeling well, so you can go without me. Also, I want to be honest with you about certain things. Last night, I gave a good thought to everything and realized what I really want…
I’m really sorry, Edward, but I can’t reciprocate your feelings. I only like you as a friend and it will remain like that, because unknowingly, I already have someone I like, and I only realized this last night.
I’m in love with him. I am in love with my private doctor.” Cali straightforwardly declared without batting an eye.
Edward’s forehead creased as he furrowed. He was caught off guard, but he tried to control his emotions and managed to give Cali a smile.
“I understand and I’m happy for you, Cali. But I hope we can at least still remain friends. You know you can always lean on me as a friend whenever you need anything.”
Cali nodded then whispered, “Thank you so much Edward for understanding.”
Edward no longer stayed there and soon bade goodbye to Cali.
“I hope you are fine by tomorrow. See you tomorrow at school then…” he said with a forced smile. Cali walked him out of the house up to his car.
She did not go back inside the house afterward. Instead, she sat on the bench swing placed on the veranda and looked into space. She was not by herself. She wanted to see Rui, but she did not know how.
“Where are you?” she unknowingly whispered and started sobbing again. Cali picked up her mobile phone from inside her pocket and tried to Call Rui once again but still to no avail.
She felt like crying but stopped herself because everything that happened was her fault because she was stupid and could not acknowledge her own feelings that everything had come to the point where Rui had to leave her.
Cali stood up and walked back inside the house, wondering how she should spend a day without Rui.
She ended up going back inside her room, but she imagined Rui was there scolding her why she did not go to school. She was so used to his presence every time, that him being gone like this was making her restless. She very soon went out of her room and looked for Selya.
“Did Rui call already?” she asked.
“Not yet, ma’am.” she answered. Her new private doctor finally arrived and Cali welcomed her.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/where-are-you_%!d(string=49882409017080849) for visiting.
“Rui endorsed me as your private doctor and explained your medical condition clearly. Here is my number. Make sure you call for me should you experience any discomfort while you are not in the house like at school or outside anywhere…” the doctor reminded her, and she only nodded.
So she could now go out anywhere and whenever she wanted? But why did she feel sad?
Before she would probably feel happy being more carefree like what she wanted her life to be, but now she did not even feel like going out. She only wanted to stay at home and wait for Rui’s arrival because she did not want to miss any opportunity of meeting him.
