DBS#3: Mending the Scars

IKA-TATLUMPU'T TATLO

Binigyan lang ako ng isipin ni Gianna! Dahil doon, hindi ako nakatulog ng maayos. May duty pa naman ako ngayon at hindi pwedeng wala akong energy. I know she’s damn right, but I just don’t want to think about that yet. I’ll tell them as soon as I can, and they’ll understand me for sure.

My alarm clock rang at five o’clock in the morning to start my morning routine before going to the hospital for my clinical duties. This past few days, I feel like I haven’t gotten enough sleep. Siguro ay dapat baguhin ko na lang ang oras nang pakikipag-usap kay Gianna instead of midnight.

I almost jumped when my phone beeped for a text message. Mas lalo akong nagulat nang makitang galing ito kay Top.

Kristoff Zamora

Good morning! I just woke up. Huwag mong kalimutang kumain muna ng almusal bago pumasok sa duty mo. Ingat :]

Really? Almost six in the morning pa lang ay gising na siya?

I typed a reply while preparing my uniform that I’ll be wearing today.

Bry Sullivan

You too. Don’t forget your doctor’s advice. Be patient, as your medicines often have side effects that might affect your overall performance.

And please don’t engage in any fights. You’re fucking under medication.

I hit the send button and left my phone on the table to take a cold shower. It took me almost twenty minutes just to take a bath. I find it so relaxing that I almost lay myself in the tub and sleep a bit.

Matapos kong makapag-ayos ay muli kong binalikan ang aking phone. I saw three messages from him and read them while having a quick breakfast.

Kristoff Zamora

Yes, doc!

Tatambay ako ulit doon sa dati. Sana nasa school ka na lang ngayon para makita kita :[

I miss you, Baymax! I want a kiss…

Crazy!

I immediately typed my reply.

Bry Sullivan

Are you flirting with me, stupid?

Kristoff Zamora

Yes, and?

What the fuck?!

Hindi ko alam kung saan ako mas magugulat, kung sa bilis ba ng reply niya o sa nilalaman nito mismo?

Hindi na lang ako nag reply pa at binilisan na lang ang kilos. Ano ba naman kasi ang ire-reply ko roon? Bahala na lang siya sa buhay niya.

I put my phone in my pocket and refill Pancake’s food bowl before I leave. Pang umaga ang schedule ko ngayon at ang tanging motivation ko na lang ay makakauwi ako ng maaga pa para makapagpahinga ng matagal.

“What’s your last name again?” tanong sa akin nang isa sa mga doctor na nakasalamuha namin sa ward during our breaks.

“Sullivan po”

“How are you related to Dr. Gregory Sullivan?”
