Renzo's mind is blank. He didn't even imagine that he would have to experience this once more.
All the memoirs of the once happy life
Flashes back at the top of his.

He knows it's just a 7 minute in heaven
It's not enough

But 7 minutes with the Russian whom he thought was gone
7 minutes is like a literal heaven

He didn't utter a word. He just follows the sway of Rovi's playful tongue while letting himself drown into the feeling he used to forgot...

Marupok na kung marupok...
His mind whispers as he give himself up on the Russian

He didn't mind the cold that blew from the window near them.
All he can feel is the warm sensation that embrace his body

It all radiates from his heart...

Oh... Only if Rovi knows how much he's meant to him...

A tear fell from his cheek
Is it a tear of joy or a tear full of pain? Or a mixture of both

Who knows, all in his head that time is to make the remaining time worth it

Because he might not have the chance again.

"I'm sorry" a soft voice that reverbs in his ears as he pull from their kiss

Napakuyom lamang sya ng palad habang iniisip ang susunod na sasabihin. Hindi nya alam kung bibigay ba sya o kokomprontahin ang lalaking nasa kanyang harapan.

Napakaraming tanong, napakaraming ala-ala
Napakaraming pagkakataon

At sa loob ng mahabang panahon...
Bakit ngayon pa?
Bakit hindi man lang nga pinaalam

Bakit hindi man lang sya nagparamdam

Ang sayang nararamdaman ng kanyang puso'y umaabogado sa mga argumento ng kanyang isipan.
At tila ba ang kanyang pagkatao ay nasa isang digmaan

Isang gerang tila ang katapusan ay matatagpuan sa oras na siya ay tuluyang bumitaw o muling magpadala sa damdaming kanyang kinikimkim

"R-rovi..." He look at him in his eyes.
It is still sparkling like the first time he see those.  So innocent, So pure

His knees were weak and so as his chest. He hurriedly approach him and bury his face onto the Russian's chest.

Kasabay noon ang sunod sunod na suntok sa kanyang dibdib habang humahagulgol.

"You.. bastard!"

"F-fuck you!..."

Curse after curse
Masking the real words he want to blurt out. As the Russian caressed his back...

"I'm sorry doc... I just can't... Be with you..." The russian softly spoke.

He doesn't understand his reason
He never told him the reason
What did he do?
What happened?

He doesn't know...

All happened was in a snap.
Everything was gone

He is gone.

ROVI signals to his friend to shh as he caress Renzo's back.

He's guilty of causing harm to him

He violated the first code of doctors...

And of all the person to whom he do harm... Was the guy he loved so much

And like the defibrillator that revives a flatline, are the moments in that cabinet

THEY are leaving finally.
Isa-isang nagsilabasan ang mga kaibigan nya sa kanyang bahay. Kasabay noon ag nakahinga na ng maluwag si Rovi. He has spent a good time with then

And most importantly. He got the change to apologize.

He knows it's not the last time that he and the gang will meet. But there's something in him that forcing them to stay.

But they can't.
He can't.

He flashed a bitter smile as he waved them goodbye.
Whispering words while looking at him deeply.

"Farewell... Doc"
