Mabilis na lumipas ang panahon. The interns now on their second year in the hospital. Regina and Colet was civil to each other. Despite of Colet's longiness to her sister, she decided not to push it harder. She gave her the space that she wanted.
Aiah was now an attending after she passed her last exam, but she still handling all the interns as per advise.
Anything goes smoothly. NEMH still leads as one of the best hospital.
Regina's shift ends at 9 in the evening. She was so exhausted after having a multiple surgery in a day. She currently sitting inside her car at the parking. Nakayukyok ang ulo sa manibela at antok na antok.
Isang katok sa bintana ang nagpalingon sa kanya. It was Narda. Kunot ang noo na nakatingin sa kanya pero lingid dito ay nakatitig rin siya. Her windows was tinted kung kaya hindi nito nakikita ang mukha niya. Few minutes after she started to pull down her windows.
'Bakit?, tanong niya.
'Jusko akala ko kung napano ka. Nakita ko kasing bukas yung ilaw ng sasakyan mo sa likod kaya kinatok ko. Okay ka lang?, sunod-sunod na salita nito.
She chuckled a bit which made Narda startled.
'Huy tumatawa ka pala?, manghang tanong nito.
'Bakit anong kala mo sakin hindi marunong tumawa?, sagot niya pabalik.
'O, o tumutulis na naman nguso mo at kumukunot ang noo. Smiling looks good on you Regina. Dalasan mo naman minsan', Narda suggested.
'Heh manahimik', pagkukunwari niya. 'You have duty?, Regina ask.
'Yep. On call ako. Bat andito ka pa? Kanina pa tapos duty mo ah.
'Wow updated.
'Siyempre kailangan alam ko', natatawang sagot nito. 'Paano ako papasang manliligaw niyan.
'You still don't drop the subject, aren't you?, Regina said.
'Never. I would gladly wait until you allow me to court you Dr. Vanguardia.
'Sinasabi ko sayo Narda baka pumuti na ang uwak di parin yan natutupad.
'You can't tell what will happen in the future Rej. Maghihintay ako.
'Para kang si Colet jusko. Kayo ata mag-kapatid eh, ang kulit niyo pareho.
'O nakasimangot ka na naman. Kasasabi lang na maganda sayo ang nakangiti eh.
'Bolera!
'Ano ba yan nalihis na yung tanong ko. Bat nga andito ka pa?
'Inaantok ako eh. Diko kayang mag-maneho pauwi.
'Ay nako ihahatid na kita. Tutal may 1 hour pa bago shift ko.
'Hindi na. Tinawagan ko na si Kuya Elijah, nagpapa-sundo ako. Siya magda-drive sakin pauwi.
'Edi, I'll accompany you muna hanggang dumating siya.
'Hindi na. Pasok ka na.
'No, no I'll insist Rej. Samahan na kita until dumating ang Kuya mo.
'Bahala ka, ang kulit mo. Inaantok talaga ako Narda sinasabi ko sayo.
'Edi matulog ka. Kalabitin kita kapag dumating na Kuya mo.
'Okay.
Regina allowed Narda to let her sit inside her car. She take a nap while the latter's check her emails.
30 minutes after, Regina open her eyes as she heard someone's laughter. She saw Narda outside her car talking to Elijah. They were currently laughing to each other, until their eyes landed to her.
