Love On The Frontlines

Chapter 4

Sarah's

I stared blankly at my coffee, the smell of the steam that coming from it is still not enough to calm down my insides as I recall the things happened last night.

Gunshots.. explosion.. soldiers.. terrorist and the captain..

“captain hayes..”
I uttered without realizing while recalling the features of his damn gorgeous body and face, natauhan lang ako nang tapikin ako ni nurse anne.

“bakit? Anong meron sa captain? Bet mo?” sunod sunod na sabi n'ya dahilan para tignan ko s'ya ng masama.

Nandito kaming dalawa sa labas ng tents at kasalukuyang nag aalmusal, maagang umalis ang mga sundalo para sa kanilang daily morning jog, samantalang ang mga ibang kasama ko naman ay natutulog pa, I envy them dahil nakatulog sila kahit papaano unlike me and anne, hindi kami naka tulog ng maayos dahil 4am na rin kaming natapos sa pag aasikaso ng mga sundalong sugatan mula sa nangyari kagabi.

We're also dealing with our short culture shock experience and some mild trauma last night.

Bukod don ay hindi rin ako nakatulog dahil sa paulit ulit na tumatakbo sa isip ko ang mukha ng captain pati na rin ang takot na baka may mag tangkang lumusob sa barracks namin ano mang oras.

“doctora look!”
Nurse anne hit my arm several times to get my attention so I looked at where she was looking and pointing, I gasped when I saw the scenery.

I didn't gasps because of the mouth watering bodies of the soldiers but to the captain's currently doing right now!

How can he jog in that state?!
Is he a beast or what?

The captain with lieutenant Alvarez and their comrades are having a morning jog without even minding his wounds that nearly killed him last night.

“that man!”
I said in frustration and shock at the same time. Mabilis akong tumayo at tumawid sa fences without minding nurse anne calling me.

Hinarang ko ang captain at tinignan s'ya ng masama, saglit akong napasulyap sa mga hubad nilang maskuladong katawan na naging dahilan ng pag taas ng kilay ng captain but that's not the point here!

Ang ayoko sa lahat ay sinusuway ang payo ko bilang isang doctor, pag sinabi kong mag pahinga at huwag gumalaw sa isang pasyente ay natural lang na obligasyon nila na sundin 'to!

“what do you think you're doing? Didn't I told you to rest? Look at your bandage it's still has a blood stain on it! What if your wounds reopened?”
I said in frustration but he's just there, standing and staring at me blankly.

Can't he just be thankful because he's lucky to have consciousness the day after?

It takes a couple of minutes before I received a word from him that made my jaw dropped. “Why do you care? It's my body so you can't order me around, I can do whatever I want and who are you to tell me to stay still when I am the hope of this and our country? Your only duty here is to help us recover or check our healths not to order us around as you like” he's definitely a jerk! Nuknukan ng yabang at sobrang taas ng tingin sa sarili!

And for his information I'm not ordering them around! I'm just concerned about his and their well being!

I regret admiring his good looking appearance, and I also want to smack myself because despite of his rubbish attitude towards me I admire him even more as if I was blind by his red flags.

“uhh, excuse me I'm sorry for her reckless behavior, kukunin ko na po s'ya sorry po” biglang sulpot ni Anne at sinubukan akong hilahin pero iwinaksi ko ang kamay n'ya, pinanlakihan n'ya ako ng mata dahil sa ginawa ko.
