INJECTED LOVE (PUBLISHED UNDER IMMAC PPH)

WAKAS - PART 1

Wakas - Part 1

"Nurse Nieva, isa ka po sa pinatawag ni Doktora."

Tumango lang ako.

"Thank you, nurse," she said sweetly.

It's not new to me, but I don't think I have time for it. That is something I don't think I am capable of giving time to.

Tumalikod na ako at tinungo ang opisina ni Doktora. Kumatok muna ako at hinintay ang hudyat niyang puwede na akong pumasok.

"Come in."

That's only my cue to enter her office. "Good morning, Doktora," I greeted her.

Inimuwestra niya ang upuan. Malugod naman akong umupo. "Good morning, Nurse Nieva. This isn't part of the plan, since there were a lot of people who were volunteering themselves for the vaccine. We need more nurses to undergo it, and I want you to be part of it," imporma niya sa akin.

"It's not a problem for me, Doktora. When am I going to start?"

She smiled. "As soon as possible, nurse."

Tulad ng sabi ni Doktora. I need to start as soon as possible.

Nang marating ko ang Vaccination Site, kaagad kong ginala ang paningin ko. I can say she's right. Marami nga ang tao. I can't blame the people if they were really scared of the virus.

When I walked in, I noticed that some of the nurses were only injecting people. I went straight to my table and fixed my things.

"Please call the next one," I ordered from the person assisting people outside.

It took minutes before the next one entered. Nagtataka ako kung bakit, sa iba naman sobrang bilis.

Hindi man lang tumagal ng ilang minuto.

What is taking her so long to enter? Does she not like the idea of vaccines?

The moment she entered; my eyes stopped when I saw her eyes. It's so pure and innocent. I also see something is missing... But at this moment, I can see that she is nervous.

She doesn't like injections, huh?

She has a lovely name, hindi siya mukhang 24, and I was surprised to know that she is single.

Halos matigilan ako nang marinig ang sinabi niya, the time I asked her if she is still single. "Oo, hangga't hindi pa nagiging sa iyo."

What the hell?

Mabuti na lang at inabutan niya ako ng tubig. Where did she get it? Ang bilis niya!

"Saan ninyo po gustong i-inject?" I asked her after I recovered from her so-called banat.

I was about to inject it after she answered on the left shoulder. Pero natigil ako when she asked for the comfort room.

What's wrong with her? She's acting weird.

She even suggested letting others come first, before her. Like, she's already inside? Bakit kailangan pa niyang magpaubaya?

Or doesn't she like me injecting her vaccine?

"Sorry po ma'am, hindi puwede. Kayo na po ang nandito. So, kayo na po."

Nakita ko kung paano bumagsak ang balikat niya. There's a feeling in me that I'd really like to reconsider her suggestion, but there are a lot of people waiting outside for their turns. I don't want to hear that I have favoritism and may only end up hearing unnecessary words from people. It is possible that they will target her.
