"Desire dopamine makes us want things. It is a raw desire; give me more. But we're not at the ungoverned mercy of our desire. We also have a complementary dopamine circuit that calculates what sort of more is worth having." -Excerpt from "The Molecule of More"
When we decide to have something, we have to do whatever it takes to get it. In the field of medicine, methods should be followed well with proper diagnostics and findings. Colors should be mixed appropriately and a melody should form a perfect symphony.
When time let us took a glimpse of something we never thought we'll see again, don't waste a second to indulge yourself in that opportunity. Dominate that moment, because after that, you'll be a slave of the possible outcome.
"Nice to see you again, doc."
"Allegro?"
Kahit madilim, gamit ang aking buong lakas ay siniko ko ang kaniyang tagiliran.
"Ouch!"
Agad kong pinulot ang aking coin purse at ibinato ito sa kaniyang ulo. Napayuko ito at namilipit sa sakit. Akmang tatakbo na ako ngunit nilingon ko pa ito.
As a doctor, hindi ko to kailangang pabayaan. Damn! Ako na nga ang muntikang madala sa kung saan ako pa ang mapiperwisyo!
Lumapit ako dito at inilahad ang aking kamay. Ngayon ko lang napansin na nakatux pala ito at kahit kaonting ilaw lang ay halata ang tangos ng ilong.
"Tayo," matigas kong utos habang nakalahad ang aking kamay.
Tumigil na ito sa pagpilipit at agad na tumingala.
"Walang tayo..."
Sa kaonting ilaw sa madilim na parte ng hallway, naaninag ko ang kulay abong mga mata. His eyes still look hard and dangerous. Gray with bands of blue and black. His arms are stronger, hindi ko alam kong paano siya nasaktan sa siko ko kanina!
Napaatras ako at napapaypay sa sarili.
His patch shows Allegro! Allegro! Damn!
Siya ding pagtayo nito at nagpagpag. He cleared his throat and folded his arms on his chest. Yabang!
"First of all, bakit mo ako biglang hinila?"
He took his hanky from his chest pocket at pinunasan ang kaniyang mga kamay.
He chuckled at my question at saka dahil medyo nakatagilid ito ay patagilid din akong tiningnan.
"A maiden hmm... I never thought you'd grow this well, Cia."
The way he pronounced my name sent shivers down my spines. Ginising nito ang maliit na butil sa aking sistema.
"Excuse me mister, or whatever kung Allegro man ang apelyido mo. Mind. Your. Own. Business." Tinalikuran ko ito at mabilis na tumalikod.
"I'm glad you already know how to say that. Nice to meet you again, see you at the event."
Mas binilisan ko pa ang lakad ko ngunit naririnig ko pa din ang pagngiti nito. Bwsiet! Doctor ako pero binabaliw ako ng lalaking iyon. Sinong matino ang manghihila nalang papunta sa madilim na parte? Damn.
