MIKA



Kanina ko pa nararamdamang may nakatingin sa akin eh.


But when I looked around, I saw no one.


Jusko Mika, guni-guni mo lang yun, ok?


Haaayyy, baka dahil sa pagod, kung ano-ano nang pumapasok sa utak ko.


I stared at the sleeping 5-year old on my lap and heaved a sigh.


Kawawa naman. She and his dad were caught in a car accident. When they were found, the kid's father was hugging her.


Pumikit ako at bumulong ng panalangin para sa Papa niya, at para na rin sa Papa ko. Alam ko namang kahit ganito ang sitwasyon namin, mahal ako nun.


Maybe I really need to see them soon. Ayoko namang hintaying may mangyari pang masama bago ako umuwi.


In the middle of my deep thinking, my phone rang.



Incoming call... Dr. Espinosa...


"Hello Doc?"


"Mika, Mr. Uy is booked to go to the OR at 5pm but we're having technical difficulties due to the thunderstorm so we might have to wait for an hour more. Take the time to prep him up for surgery."


"Noted po!"


"Thanks hija. Also, if you could wheel him to the room in his bed, that would be helpful. Sorry, maraming porters ang di nakapasok dahil sa bagyo kaya-


"I'd be happy to do it, Doc! No worries!"


"Alright, ikaw na bahala ah. Thank you, Mika!"


End of phone convo



After the phone call, I sent Tori a message.



To: Victoria Sanchez

Tori, may work ka ba? Pasuyo naman nitong batang hawak ko. Anak siya nung patient sa ER


From: Victoria Sanchez

Sure beb! Coming from the lec bldg. Be there in a few.



To: Victoria Sanchez

Thanksss!!! :)



Tori arrived in just a short time.


As I was transferring the kid in her arms, the lights went off. It came back on after a few seconds.


"Must be the storm", my friend remarked.


"Hmm, baka nga. Sige Tori ah, ikaw na bahala sa kanya.", bilin ko.


"Ok! Good luck sa assignment!"


I thanked her then made my way to room 321.


"Hi Angkong!", I greeted upon reaching the old couple.


Parang nagulat sila ng makita ako pero on second thought, baka imagination ko na naman yun.


"Apo, nabisita ka. Na-miss ka namin ah.", si Ama ang sumagot.


"Ama ah, nahawa na po kayo dito kay Angkong. Cheesy.", I laughed.


"Nako, hija!", Angkong shouted all of a sudden. "Sayang. Andito yung apo namin kanina, dinalaw ako. Hindi mo naabutan.", he said further.
