i feel like a stalker now. i just got home, tired, sleepy and hungry because i was with my friend the whole morning.
why? well, my friend wanted us to follow her ex-fiancee to the hospital and maybe somehow he could get a chance to talk things over with her today. apparently, he found out that she is scheduled for her monthly check-up in Capitol Medical Center at 10am.
so as early as 8:18am, we were already parked along his ex-fiancee's street, just a few houses away (good thing i have no work today).
we were just inside the car, waiting for his ex-fiancee to come out of their house. we even had to use my car so we won't be recognized at all. we have our breakfast with us (courtesy of McDonalds'), bottled water, my pillow and extra shirts. believe it or not, we've been planning about this last night.
after hours of waiting, she finally came out. when she reversed the car from their garage, we had to duck down so we would not be seen. when her car already passed ours, i immediately started the car and made a u-turn so we can follow her now.
we didn't want her to suspect being followed so we were at least 2 cars behind her. we've been tailing her car from kamias then kamuning to tomas morato until we reached panay avenue.
when we got there infront of the hospital, my friend got out of the car as i parked the car away from where she parked. at this point, my friend will do the rest of the work
that has to be done while i will be waiting by the car.
after two hours, my friend texted that i meet him in the lobby. so, i locked the car and went to the main lobby. i was standing near the elevators, when my friend and his ex-fiancee came out. i was surprised. what was going on? was everything ok now?
i smiled as i approached them both. my friend said that the both of us are going to explain everything to her. why am i included? i thought. does he need my alibi in this?
we explained everything to her over one mocha frapuccino, one cafe latte, two snapples and a carrot cake in Starbucks tomas morato. my friend kept repeating to her how much he loves her and that he wanted to be with her and their baby while holding her hand. i noticed that she was often silent the whole time and listened to everything we said.
after an hour and 47 minutes, she said that she had to go now. we didn't stop her. as i said goodbye to her, my friend walked her to her car. from where i was sitting, i could see them still talking and from the facial expression my friend has, he was still assuring her of i-don't-know-what.
when his ex-fiancee-soon-to-be-fiancee-again had already left, my friend went in with a big sign of relief on his face. he kept thanking me, kept shaking my hand. he really was grateful. so i asked, what's their status now. he said that she wanted more time to think about the whole thing alone but at least he'd be able to see, visit or talk to her.
before my friend got down of the car when i gave him a ride home, he gave me a big hug.
i thought to myself, i really must be a great friend after all. never in my life have i done such an outrageous thing before for a friend. and definitely, this won't be the last.
