OS #1: Chain Of Restrictions

6th Restriction

Clinic

"Hugh, you can leave, may klase ka pa. Ako na lang ang bahala sa sarili ko. Kaya ko naman," I urged Hugh habang nakahiga sa isa sa mga higaan ng clinic.

It's been an hour since I've arrived here.

The nurse said na na-sprain ko ang kanang tuhod ko and that I've bruised my right arm, gagaling din daw agad ito after two weeks, at best kung di ginagalaw.

Hugh applied cold compress on my knees for 15 to 20 minutes, instructed by the nurse herself, and she elevated it with a pillow. Ginamitan din ng nurse ng knee brace, to stabilize the knee and to avoid further injuries.

So, the nurse in short said, hindi ako pwedeng maglakad ng mag-isa for two weeks. Ghad!

Hugh has been sighing non-stop, problemado na problemado si manong. Hugh also informed Mom and Dad through the phone, a while ago about what happened. They were worried sick, but Hugh said something to them that made them stop worrying.

Hmm, ano kaya sinabi nito?

Lumingon siya sa akin and sat on the next bed na malapit sa akin.

"Who's gonna take care of you, if I leave?" Nag-aalalang tanong niya habang nakahawak sa kaliwa kong kamay.

Uminit agad ang mukha ko ng maramdaman ko ang mahina niyang haplos dito.

Oa naman maka react to. Gagaling naman ako ah, akala mo naman may malalang sakit na.

"Dito lang naman ako, I'm just gonna take my rest. Babalik ka naman after ng klase, and pagbalik mo nandito pa rin ako." I smiled at him to ease his worries, but his worried face still didn't change.

Kaya ko kaya ang sarili ko kahit wala ka 'no!

"Dan!" Napatingin ako sa hinihingal na kararating lang, it's Kreia, Mika, Katalina and Carter. I smiled at the thought that they are worried for me.

"You bish! How are you?" Nag-aalalang tanong ni Keira at lumapit sa higaan ko.

Hugh make way for them, agad naman akong hinagkan ni Kreia, but I winced nang matamaan niya ang kanang balikat ko.

"Don't hug her too much, she bruised her arm." Saad ni Hugh at agad na lumapit kung nasaan si Kreia and slightly push her back.

He's being rude again! I'm fine!

"C-Chill, okay 'di na mauulit, haha."

Umatras si Kreia and slightly nudges Mika to say something, I looked at Kreia and mouthed sorry. She crinkle her nose and smiled, telling me it's no biggie.

Tiningnan ko ng masama si Hugh, he just looked at me with no reaction. Kung maka akto 'to parang tama pa ang ginawa niya, wala talaga tong modo minsan.

Sarap turuan ng leksyon!

"Anong sabi ng Nurse sa injury mo?" Mika asks as she went to my side and sat on my bed napabaling naman ako sa kanya.

She softly pushed some hair strands out of my face. Inayos niya rin ang pagkakalagay ng ulo ko sa unan, I smiled at what she did. She's very thoughtful and caring.

"The nurse said that I sprained my knees and bruised my arm, magiging okay na din daw 'to after two weeks, without doing any heavy stuffs."

Tumingin naman ako kay Katalina and Carter. They are standing behind Mika and Kreia looking at me worriedly.

"Hey, I'm okay. Katalina we won right?"

Tumango naman si Katalina, she playfully leaned her head slightly to the right making her ponytailed hair sway, she then winked at me.
