"Hi, good morning. Doc" Lath greeted me. I just smiled at him.
Kagagaling ko lang sa school ni Hendrix, we're not that late pero medyo tinanghali kami ng gising.
"Oh good morning too Lath, you're here so early, do you have an appointment?" I asked
He smiled and answered "Yeah, though, I guess. I should stay here until I finished my appointment, Doc."
"Okay, I hope you finish it as soon as possible,then. Goodluck though" I added.
Better be good this time, since he's my friend now.
"Are you free later? We can eat lunch" I asked him.
"Sure, I would love too, I'll pick you up, then. I'll go ahead, I'll just watch someone from a far" napakunot noo ko. Is he spying something here? I wonder.
I was walking, I felt so horrible, bakit parang nangingilabot ako. Parang may nakatingin ah. I look back and look everywhere, but I couldn't find someone, So I headed yo my office.
"Great, just great! What do you expect me to say, it's perfect?!
Look Doctora Hayler, What you've done was clinical malpractice, and then now my hospital is involved. What do you expect me to do?
Watch it burn in fire?!" It was Lyle shouting.
What is happening?
I decided to gossip a little, I know it's rude to eavesdrop. Out of my curiosity. I did
"I didn't kill her, she died in her operation, Doc. Trevino. If you thought I killed her because she's the wife of my boyfriend, then you're wrong. I am doing my job, professionally. I don't like involving personal problems, is it hard to believe? Huh!" She fired back.
"Then prove it, explain it to the jury, explain it to the court." He said coldly
Ano ba kasing nangyayari, bakit puro kamalasan ang araw na 'to ha?
Nakakastress. I didn't know pero imbes na umalis, pinili ko munang makinig para naman, hindi ako ma curious.
" I could prove it, help me. We need an autopsy report, please Doc. I cannot do what they're accusing on me. Please" she cried, I heard her sob. I felt so sad for Doctor Hayler.
She's one of the most trustworthy and careful doctor plus she's the best asset of the hospital.
"I'll help you fix your mess because you're dragging the name of the hospital" Lyle said monotonously.
Mga kalahating oras siguro akong nakatayo, nangangalay na ang paa ko
I heard footsteps until the door opens.
My eyes widened, it was Lyle.
Oh fuck
"Uh hi?" Panimula ko
"What are you doing there?
You heard everything?" Tanong niya
Umiling ako. Tangina bobo ko
"Really? Then good" he left and passed
Napahawak ako sa dibdib ko. Tangina,bakit kasi napaka chismosa ko.
Doctora Hayler, ran away from the office, crying, kita ko siyang nakahawak sa mga bibig. Pinipigilang humikbi.
Naaawa ako sakanya, ano ba kasing nangyayari at bat may ganun na?
I followed her, but she's gone. I look for her but she's nowhere to be found.
Dumiretso nalang ako sa office.
Nadaanan ko ang isang nurse na parang tarantang taranta
"Alice, right?" Tanong ko
She nodded
