Chapter Eight

Blessings in disguise. Masama pa rin ang loob ko sa kanya. I know it's my chance to take that opportunity but I'm not ready for that. Alam ko naman na hindi basta agad-agad na aalis ako ng bansa para 'dun.

I know it takes time but still...hindi ako handa.

Napabuntong hininga ako at hinugasan ang kamay para handa ko ng suotin ang gwantes at coat para sa operasyon ko ngayong umaga. I needed to operate a heart transplant surgery. Kinakabahan ako dahil ito ang unang gawain ko sa hospital.

Madalas kasi check-up lang ginagawa ko and I have never been operated into someone. I did on a doll back in med school but now am an actual person!

Napabuntong hininga ako at hinayaan ang nurse na pasuotin ako ng coat pati narin ang paghipos ng aking buhok at nilagyan ng takip. Nagsuot rin ako ng facemask.

"Can I check my patient's information?" Tanong ko at agad naman siyang tumango at binigay sa'kin ang folder.

Name: Celestine Viona Sidorov
Age: 30 Years Old
Nationality: Russian, Filipino.
Status: Single

Her surname is familiar... Umiling ako at tuluyang pumasok sa loob ng operating room. Napasinghap ako sa gulat ng makita siya rito sa loob mismo.

"What are you doing here?" Agad kong tanong sa kanya habang kunot noo.

"I'm here to help you operate on your patient," si Clark sabay ngiti sa'kin.

"Without informing me?" Taas kilay kong tanong sa kanya at tinanggap ang scalpel na bigay ng nurse sa'kin.

"I told you I'll come to visit you," nakingising sabi niya at kumindat. "This not the visit I've wanted, mister Sidorov." Diin kong sabi at hindi napigilang maparolyo ng aking mga mata.

"You tell that to yourself because I'm here to help my sister live her life more," bumagsak ang lahat ng emosyon ko sa mukha at tinignan siya ulit. "Is she your sister?" I couldn't help but ask. Umawang ang labi ko.

"Yes," I nodded with my shocking face.

Mas lalo tuloy akong kinabahan sa operasyong 'to. I feel pressured to do this and makes me wanna back out of it ngayong nalaman kong kapatid niya ang pasyente ko. I couldn't believe it at first 'cause they kinda not look the same but then I suddenly remembered what he said that she's his half-sister.

I drew out a deep breath and I felt a thing in my heart that I need to succeed in this. At the end ginawa ko pa rin kahit parang may labag sa damdamin ko. Sinimulan ko ng hiwain ang gitna ng dibdib niya kinakabahan pa rin sa ginagawa.

Natigilan ako saglit ng may nakita akong pamilyar na mukha sa loob ng operating room. He looks so familiar. I can tell that he was a guy, his height was about 6ft, and he has this adonis body that also reminded me of someone I know. His hair was kinda long below his ears, the hair color was really the same as Red.

It must be him or not. But he was busy with his drums all day! So it can't be him!

Unting-unting umagos ang pawis ko mula sa ulo pababa galing sa batok hanggang sa maramdaman ko ang dibdib kong pinapawisan na rin sa loob. Pati ang mga hita ko at paa ay pinapawisan na rin pati na rin ang buong mukha ko ay puno ng pawis hindi lang dahil sa surgical facemask iyon kundi ay sa kaba.

It's almost 3 P.M in the afternoon (grabe almost 8-9 hours nakakapagod na) at kaunti na lang ay matatapos na kami sa operasyon. Kailangan na lang namin e-settle at e-secured ang lahat para matapos na. After 30 minutes of doing that we finally stichted her chest and waiting for her to be stable.
