NIKKOLAI
When I woke up, I don't remember anyone, but surprisingly, I can remember that I was a Doctor, I can vividly remember my knowledge about medicine.
I can't remember any of my family member, all their faces seems very new to me, even Krystal, pinsan ko daw siya at kasamang nag take ng residency sa Pilipinas.
The world felt very different, it has changed a lot, I can't believe that I slept for 5 years, I felt like I'm still 26 but when I woke up, I am already 31, what a nightmare it is. I feel helpless, parang nawala sa akin ang lahat, para akong isang cellphone na na format, everything is deleted. Everything went back to zero.
Bumalik ako ng Piipinas to start again, I went to continue my cut off residency. I joined the Neurosurgeon Department, everyone of them seems new, but some recognizes me, sila siguro ang mga batch ko, glad, they reaches the goal, unlike me.
I don't even know why did I encountered in that incident. All I know is I'm going to Cagayan that day, that is according to my grandmother, nag file daw ako ng transfer, ang di ko lang maisip ay bakit ako magtratransfer sa Cagayan? what's my reason? bakit ako lilipat sa isang maliit na ospital?.....or Is she the reason?
Since I woke up, I kept on dreaming a lady, kasama ko siya, we were happy, pero di ko alam kung sino siya, her face is always blurred, di ko alam.
Ang dami kong di alam, gusto kong maalala ang lahat, kaya lahat ng impormasyon na tungkol sa akin ay pinapatulan ko na, tulad nung binata kanina, he clearly knows me but my senior cut him off.
"Samchon...ice cream." naputol ako sa pagiisip nang magsalita ang batang lalaki sa tabi ko. Ito pa, pag gising ko may pamangkin na ako.
"Ice cream?" ulit ko dahil baka iba ang dinig ko.
"Ne." pa cute na sabi niya.
I pinched his cheeks before holding his hands, lumabas kami sa bahay at nagpunta sa malapit na convenience store at doon bumili ng ice cream.
Linggo kasi ngayon kaya wala akong pasok sa ospital.
Katatapos ko lang magbayad nang tumunog ang cellphone ko.
"Hello?" sagot ko rito.
"Yah! Kasama mo ba si Jihyun?" nagaalalang tanong nito sa akin.
"Oo, bumili lang kami ng ice cream." sagot ko at binigay kay Jihyun ang cellphone."It's your mother."
"Eomma, I'm with Samchoon, we buy ice cream." sagot ng bata, dumaldal pa ito konti bago nagpaalam sa nanay.
We went back at nadatnan doon ang nanay niyang naghihintay.
"Let's go home na Jihyun okay. We'll come here on weekend again." saad ng ina niya.
Agad namang umiling ang bata at kumapit sa binti ko, like he's hiding from his mom."I wanna stay with samchoon more."
"But samchoon needs to go to work tomorrow, wala kang kasama, lola and lolo were both away for work, helpers lang kasama mo rito." pag i-explain sa kanya ng nanay niya.
"Then...then...then I'll go with samchoon to work." sagot ng bata.
"That is not possible Jihyun, samchoon is a Doctor, he works in the Hospital, meaning he is very busy because he's saving lives, at bawal ang bata roon." pagkukumbinsi ng nanay.
