Epilogue

In your arms

"Congratulations for passing the board! You're now a doctor, finally!" Joana happily greeted me and gave me a flower.

"Congratulations, bro!" Xypheir and Tristan said in chorus.

"Finally, you have reached your dream," Andrew said and tapped my back.

Iyan ang bungad nila sa akin pagkatapos ng oathtaking naming mga nakapasa sa boards. After years of struggle from college to med school, I finally made it. Those sleepless and restless nights, tiresome days, and efforts I had before finally paid off. My hard work finally paid off despite almost giving up in my life.

Despite the tragedies I encounter, I still can't believe that I really made it.

Kyzyr Reeve L. Sandoval, MD

I am now a doctor.

I already achieved one of the biggest dreams in my life, and I should be happy about it. I should be celebrating this successful event and moment in life. My friends were celebrating my success. They are much happier than I am.

Ngunit taliwas sa dapat kong maramdaman ang nararamdaman ko ngayon. I am happy, yet not to the point that I should celebrate it. I am happy, but it didn't reach my heart.

I am happy for the sake of being happy because people around me were happy. I am happy, yet I couldn't feel the real meaning behind it. It was a feeling that I need to be obliged. An obligation that I need to feel because this is what people around me really feel.

But not for myself... Ever since that day, I forgot how to be happy anymore. I forgot to feel what happiness is really is. I both lose of them. I both lose the very important person in my life.

My sister.

Her.

I both lose them because of the decision that I made because of that stupid decision. And starting that day, I am not obligated to feel happiness anymore. I am more obligated to feel sorrow and pain because it is what I deserved.

As an asshole man, I deserved all of those sufferings.

Despite what I really feel inside that day, my friends throw a celebration party for me.

"Congratulations to Kzyr Reeve L. Sandoval! You are finally a doctor!" Andrew opens a bottle of champagne, and it suddenly pops. Dahil sa akin nakatutok ang alak ay medyo nabasa ako ng bumukas ito.

Andrew immediately put wine in our glass and tossed it together. Tuloy-tuloy ko naman itong ininom at nang nakita ng kaibigan na wala ng laman ay agad na nilagyan na rin ito.

Other's were happily celebrating my success at the party. Naghihiyawan sila at walang sawang bumabati. May iilang lumalapit sa akin at binabati ako at ginagawaran ko sila nang ngiti.

Nagsasaya na ang iba naming kasama samantalang ako si Xypheir at Joana na lang ang naiwan sa lamesa. They are both drinking at nangangalahit na ang black label sa lamesa namin.

Kahit na hindi mawari ang nararamdaman ko ay nakisabay pa rin ako sa gusto ng mga kaibigan ko. I know they did this because they know I won't celebrate it.

I have no one to celebrate for. It's just my name that has an MD in the end. And I have no reason to celebrate it. My family isn't here to celebrate it with me. They didn't even know that I passed... and have my oathtaking.

Siguro kung may nakakaalam man ay ang kapatid ko. I know she witness it all above. And I hope she's happy there. That her kuya is finally a doctor.
