I'm good at hiding my feelings. I'm good at it 'cause nobody knows when I'm in pain.

"are you sure you don't want to tell it to him Dr. Reyes?" one of my co-worker asked. "yes, I'm all good." sagot ko at bumuntong hininga.

Yes, I'm a doctor and mostly of my patients are kids.

My heart aches when I see them here in the hospital. I want them to live their lives to the fullest... yung mag eenjoy lang sila. no pain just pure happiness.

If only I could take it away from them, I would.

someone's calling on my phone so I picked it up immediately.

"hi love! do you need something?" bati ko sa kanya.

"where are you? Let's eat outside, I'll pick you up there." no. we can't. I can't.

"ah ano kasi may ship pa ko ngayon eh pwedeng sa susunod na lang?" I said as my excuse to him and he ended our call.

miscommunication.

but avoiding you is the only way para hindi mo kong makitang ganito.

I'm sorry, mahal.
