Jusko. Yan lang ang masasabi ko after I performed 3 surgeries straight. My hands are swelling, my neck hurts, my legs are now wobbly and my brain is already drained. Bigla ko namang naalala na nandito din si Mommy sa Hospital kaya pagkalabas ko ng Operating room, dumeretso na ako ng attending lounge pero wala dun si Mommy. It's just Dylan and Axiel.

" Hey. How's your sugeries? " Axiel asked

" All good. I'm just about to collapse because I have jelly legs already. " I said as I lay down on the sofa

" Sophia got the shooter and her Aunt had her PTSD Episode after the surgery. " Dylan stated

" What a hell of the day. By the way, Ax how's your patient? " I said

" Your Mom's friend? He's out of danger. Just a minor GSW and he just passed out because of his age and shock. He's with Tita Imee right now. " Axiel informed me

" Really? I should go there now. " I said as I stood up and do some strenching

" They're in room 1112, Love. " Axiel said

" Thanks. I'll see you guys around. " I walked out of the attending lounge and started to head to where my mother is

I went to the room that Axiel told me and I saw my mom there. Ngiting ngiti ang lola niyo eh.

" Ehem. " I faked cough

" Baby! " Mom shouted

" Hi, I've looking for you. Kumain ka na ba? " I asked

" Yes, darling. Sorry hindi ako nakapagsabi sayo. Ikaw ba kumain ka na? Ang tagal ng surgery mo eh. " Mommy said and she motioned for me to come near me

" Ang ganda mo naman, Hija. Manang mana ka sa Mommy mo. " the guy spoke

" Ay! Siya nga pala anak. He's Mark, a friend of mine. We bumped to each other nung dapat magpupunta ako ng groceries but he got shot kaya sinamahan ko nalang muna siya. " explain ni Mommy

" Hi po! I'm Vida po, Dr. Vida Marcos. " I held out my hand para makipag shake hand

" Grabe, palagi ka lang kinukwento sa akin ni Imee eh, tapos ngayon nameet na kita. " Sir Marlk said adn I just smiled dahil wala na talaga akong natitirang energy

Mabuti nalang mayroong kumatok sa pinto kaya nailigtas ako sa pakikipagusap.

" Hi Mr. Chua, I'm just here to check on you before I head home. " It's Axiel

" Go on, Dr. Wolf. " he said, Mark Chua? His name is very familliar

" Boyfriend yan ni Vida. Ang gwapo ng magiging son-in-law ko noh? " pagmamalaki ni Mommy

" Mommy.. " I warned

" I don't really understand what Tita Imee just said. " Axiel chuckles

" She just bragged that her future son-in-law is so handsome, Love. As if she want's me to get married already. " I joked

" Don't worry Tita Imee. Once Vida and I we're married, we will live with you with our future kids. " Ax said while looking at me

" That is for sure. " I agreed

" I'm done checking on you, Sir. I will see you tomorrow to make sure everything is running smoothly. " Axiel said and hang the chart on the end of the bed

" Love, I will wait for you and Tita Imee on the main entrance. I'll bring you guys home. " he kissed my and mom's cheeks before he leaves the room

" I'll go ahead na muna, Mommy. Gutom na ako sobra eh, let's meet nalang sa Attending's Lounge. " I kissed her cheeks and I said goodbye to her friend na ewan ko kung friend lang ba talaga because of the way he stares at my mom.
