Tuesday at Pm shift ako na may schedule na 2pm to 10 pm.
I saw Doc Ria na nasa kabilang section, sa CM (Clinical Microscopy). She's busy talking or discussing sa mga medtech na nandoon; sina Fiora Delo Santos at Giovanni Locsin ang magka duty. I don't know what they're talking but all I know she's magnificent the why she talks.
Tanaw ko lang sila dito dahil glass wall lang ang pagitan ng section namin sa CM which is nice although medyo soundproof kasi di ko naririnig mga boses nila para lang akong nanonood ng National Geographic: The Most Beautiful Pathologist in her Natural Habitat.
I look at her and she's gracefully speaking like a professional, with her explaining hand gestures.
Bakit kahit hand gestures lang, mukhang classy? Bakit 'pag ako ang nag-e-explain, mukha akong nagbebenta ng insurance sa kanto?
I'm not even making this up. Each time I found myself glancing at her from afar, I questioned how a woman so beautiful could be in the same atmosphere as me.
With a kutis latina, nice hands na medyo maugat na litaw sa maputi at makinis na balat nito. Mahaba at medyo slim na mga daliri,and has a clean nice shape fingernails. Her hand is indefinitely pretty than I imagine.
And how beautiful her whole existence would be.
Nakatupi ang sleeves ng white coat nito exposing her bare arms. Ang prominent din ng ugat niya sa braso. oh my god, 'yung median at cephalic veins niya.
Ang sarap kuhaan ng dugo. My MedTech instinct is screaming: 'One shot lang 'to, pramis!' Doc, kahit sakalin niyo pa ko, go lang. Professionalism who? I am a woman of science, and my science says she is 100% my type."
At di ko alam kung gaano na ako katagal nakatitig sa kanya at tuluyan nang natunaw yung wax na nilagay ko sa cassette.
"You're staring again," Claire says. She looks up from her nails and gives me a smile.
I look down sa ginagawa kong embedding and hope my face isn't red.
"Seryoso, who would resist staring at that pretty doctor?" Nakakatawang pahayag ni Claire. "I can watch her all day too,"
Heto na naman ang asungot. Claire, can't you see I'm busy worshipping? Sabi mo you can watch her all day too? Excuse me, humanap ka ng sarili mong diyosa, akin 'to! Charot.
"I did not," Pagtanggi ko.
Pero deep inside: 'Girl, kung may leaderboard ng pagtitig, ako na ang Top 1. Overthinker by night, Doc Ria stalker by day.'"
"You did," She insisted.
Maybe I did, somehow...
I admit it, I can't resist staring at her.
She's goddamn gorgeous like in a high-maintenance movie star kind of way.
Immediately, it feels like a lot of imaginary flowers bloomed around her. The dark coffee-colored hair that flows loosely to the waist, the silky-smooth face, and her with a white coat gown makes Doc Ria look more like a foreigner rather than a pinay because of the such beautiful appearance she has.
"Hoy accla, matutunaw na yan," pansin ni Claire.
Kinunutan ko lang siya ng noo.
Tumawa lang naman siya sa reaction ko.
"Teka iwan muna kita dito jejebs lang ako," Paalam niya e at may bitbit itong tissue at wet wipes.
"Kaka-kanton mo kasi yan" Sermon ko dito.
"Saglit lang ako"
"Okay sige, happy jebs. Wag mo kalimutan mag flush ah." Paalala ko.
Napabaling ulit ang tingin ko kay Doc Ria pero sa pagkakataong iyon ay di ko inaasahan na nakatingin din siya sa direksyon ko kung saan bigla kaming nagkatitigan. Her eyes met mine for a moment, and I felt a shift happen inside me. Her eyes were different.. softer somehow.
