Trigger Warning: Read at your own Risk.


I looked back at the hospital, I sighed in relief. My heartbeat faster, for nothing. 

Sumakay ako sa jeep, dahil mahal naman kung mag ta-taxi pa ako. Hindi naman ako nagmamadali. 

I took a long bath before going to bed. This will be my longest sleep, I guess. 

Nang makalabas ako sa banyo ay nakita kong andaming missed call ni mama. On her eleventh call I answered it. [Nasa bahay ka na?] bungad na sabi niya. 

"Yes, ma. Kakagaling ko sa banyo." I told her as I put it on the loud speaker. Humarap ako sa tukador ko at nagsuklay. 

[A-attend ka ba?] I sighed, I knew where this call is going.

"No. I have work tomorrow." I coldly told her. 

[At least you're invited tho.] I shook my head and continue combing my long hair. Napansin kong mahaba haba na ang buhok ko. Maybe I'll try to go to the salon some other day. 

[You're brother is coming, so you must come also.] I rolled my eyes. 

"I'll try, we have a lot of patient coming in and out." I shrugged, and put down my comb. 

[So what? Marami namang nurses] Pagpupumilit siya. Over the years, I am her puppet- she would always control over things. 

I sighed, "Fine. I'll go." Mapait kong sabi at pinatay ang tawag. I checked my closet to check if I have a formal attire. 

Gabi pa naman ang event, and my shift will end at four. I could make it. Malapit lang naman ang hotel. 

"Pupunta ka?" Krissete asked me. 

"I thought it's your day off, what are you doing here?" I asked her and looked at the patient chart. 

"Yeah. Dinaanan lang naman kita, para iremind ka na pupunta tayo mamaya. I'll pick you up on your place at five thirty." She waved her hands in the air as she turned back. My mom already told her that I'll be coming. 

As what I said, patient kept coming in and out. Emergency room really fits for me. In here, you have no time for yourself. Which is better, I prefer this way. 

As the time goes, my shift is done. I took a quick shower before fixing myself. Since I just came from the hospital and taking a bath is really necessary. 

I dried my hair first before applying make up. Nude make up lang naman, so my beauty will show up since I will be wearing a black silk, spaghetti strap dress with a long slit. 

It is shown in the invitation to wear something formal. 

I curled the few inches of the edge of my hair. I also wear a silver headband. As I look myself in the mirror compare to my college days. I grew a lot, nag matured ang mukha ko. I don't look tired at all. 

Five twenty eight I already went down to the lobby to wait for Krissete. True to her words exactly five thirty she's already here. Just like me, she's also wearing a black long dress. 

"Ganda mo. Hindi ka na mukang pagod." She giggled, as we ride at her car. 

"Mabuti walang masiyadong patient?" She asked me as my brows furrowed. 

"Between thirty to sixty patient awhile ago?" I faced her she acted shock while we're on the way to the hotel. 

"Mama mo lang pala makakapag oo sayo." She giggled. 

"Yeah, she is always the control." I sighed, and turn on my phone. Agad bumungad sa 'kin ang picture ni Kylie. She's now a super model, internationally.
