I am busy preparing all the documents needed for our tansfers. I graduated as primary school teacher a dream to become one oneday since I love teaching children. What i love about them is their honesty and an innocence, free to dream all things whatever they want. But the course of life is in constant changes and circumtances gave me courage to take the another path for the better. And now I am working as a nurse in Phillippinnen, Souteast Asia but my love of teaching didn't change. That is why everytime we did voluntary works I always in children department. After graduated at the age 24, I haven't a chance to used and work my profession though I have my license to do so. I went abroad to work so that I could help my family especially my mother who was diabetic but unfortunately she wasn't able to wait me and expired. The saddest part was I cannot go home to be with my siblings to mourn even on her before she was burried. One of the reason why I worked hard to be a nurse to atleast on these work I could let the patient feel that someone care for them especially the elderly in in abroad unlike in my home country family members help each other to care their parents and elderly though not all but most.
"Hallooooo Domz, I have been getting your attention. Are you day dreaming again"? Amy my co-nurse in the infantry and a friend of mine.
"Ah, no!" with an awkward smile, she alaways caught me in situation like this.
"Okey as you says though your eyes betrayed you. Anyways, are you excited?" with matching thrilled smile.
"Ah, Yeah? somehow but for the long flight na, thanks" I sigh.
"Duh! no pain no gain"
"You mean you are not excited the people you are going to help but to those----" she cover my mouth and keep glancing each side she scared that our head nurse wiull hear her and we knew we will hear the unending Code of Ethics and stay professional.
"ssshhh the mother hen might hear you" we both laugh and we continue to prapare things for our trip though I didn't need much since Phillippinnen is a warm country though I know deep inside I am scared and happz at the same time to be back home to the country where I ran away from with the hope and prayer that I will not see him again after all these years.
"Hmmppp.... passport, clothes, insect and mosquito repelent...." Amy is double checking her things.
"Amy don't bring to much winter clothes for goodness sake! Phillippinen is a tropical country".
"But... wait Phillip...... you mean..now I remember something about..."
"Yeah, yeah aber die Philippinen sind große Länder! Also, ist es unmöglich" with sarcasm and she knoew how annoyed I am everytime i speak her mothertongue which is Deutch.
"Ich weiß aber wer weiß...he hurt you Domz and I hate it."
"Don't you dare to cry 'MY" my endearment to her. She the first Deutsche approach since I was scared to talked when still new in Deutschland. We barely understand each other before because the language barrier but little did we noticed we became closer than before. She taught me to improve my Deutsch at the same time I helped her English. Sometimes she want to learn Tagalog and Bisaya my mothertogue than English because dreaming this day to visit the country that is why, whatever she packed I let her except for the winter and warm clothes.
"If I will meet that big head, two horns fatty pig I will give him to Loty"!
"Probably Miss Loty will bleed his ears and suck his blood using the catheter" my way to make her laugh.
"I will be gladl to send him to mother hen and make him dagan-dagan in the field hmmp" I laugh hard of what she said.
"You never fail to amazed with your accent 'MY and if Miss Loty will hear you might be you ar ethe one will be dagan-dagan right now".
"Es ist mir egal!"
"Natürlich ist sie nicht hier" still laughing.
"Let us have our beauty sleep now since we are still early tomorrow und jetzt gute Nacht!"
"Gute Nacht, liebe dich Domz!"
"liebe dich auch" and I went to the other room since we are not roommate here in the infantry camp. I glance the digital clock it's quite late to call a night but early for the night shifters. Sigh while lay down I had a long day and extremely tired but still wide awake very unsual for me. I don't want to think much the possibilities but there still a little chance to see him again particularly we have connection in terms of work but hoping he was sent to Mavulis Island . Haven't noticed I fell asleep until heard my alarm at five in the morning still have an hour before off to airport and an hour of silence from clamors and excitement from Amy and colleagues I can't imagine Loty's face with this all drama she hate clatter the most.
After my morning routine I double check all the documents I need for immigration specially in the Philippines is a big headache sometimes they always find sometime the normal people could see, just saying. Sighed, I really missed speaking my own language as well the food of course. Fifteen minutes before 6 in the morning I went to the meeting area help Loty to manage my companion for this trip we are total of 13 people -- 10 Deutsch including the 4 volunteer doctors, Loty, Amy and 4 other nurses came from different hospital who will stay in the Philippines for months but who knows how long our service needed on this medical mission. While the other 3 peope including myself, 1 from Chezch Republic and 1 from Morocco they both men. Loty and Amy considered me as their tour guide even tough our head nurse is known for being strick but actually is nice as long you will take your job seriously and don't mix laziness during working hours (her words not mine) everything will be good. As we wait out boarding Loty talked to me a certain thing and I guess alreadz knew what it is all about to be married a Filipino man.
"Hi dear"
"Yes Miss?" my endearment to her outside work.
"About what I said, don't forget about it or else I will be angry!"
"Miss are you sure about it? you know my history about a guys I don't trust them in regaards with this thinggy."
"Hmmmppp you know what will happen if I will meet your ex, right?" sometimes Ĺoty is so scary. Only Amy and her knew about my ex since she overheard when Amy's rant and swear not to share. And we heard our flight number called and proceedd to the boarding--- saved by by call than talking Loty about this things.
