Reasons
Everyone from the hospital welcomed us with smiles on their faces. I feel like they're grateful that we're back.
Some nurses who I haven't talked to before are smiling at me. I gladly return the smile. They look shocked. Hindi nila inaasahan na ibabalik ko ang ngiting ibinibigay nila sa akin.
Lumapit naman sa akin si Miranda, ang head nurse ng ospital na ito. She gave me the medical record of the first patient I will be having today. We walked towards the emergency room.
"Leila Castillo. Twenty-eight years old. Involved in a car accident but only has minor injuries. She's over here, Doc." Miranda pointed at the woman who's sitting on the medical bed. Lumapit ako sakanya.
"Thanks, Miranda." sabi ko. Nakita ko namang kumunot ang noo niya.
"You're... welcome." then she walked away wondering why I thanked her.
Hindi kasi ako ganoon dati. After they tell me about the patient's information, I will just dismiss them immediately. Hindi na nagpapasalamat sakanila. But everything's changed. It isn't too late to change, right?
"Hello, Leila." I greeted my first patient. Tumingala siya sa akin. I examined her arm. She has a deep cut. Pati na rin sa mukha niya ay mayroon rin.
I grabbed a chair at umupo doon. Hinila ko ang lalagyan kung nasaan ang mga kakailanganin ko. Kinuha ko naman ang kanyang braso para gamutin na ang kanyang sugat.
While I'm in the middle of cleaning up her wounds, she spoke.
"You're a very beautiful doctor." She complimented me. Tiningnan ko siya at ngumiti. Binalik ko muli ang sarili sa paggagamot ng kanyang sugat.
"Thank you," I replied.
"But you look sad." Dagdag niya. Hindi ko siya tiningnan at pinagpatuloy nalang ang ginagawa. Tinagilid ko ang aking ulo para mas makita pa ang kanyang sugat.
"I'm not." sagot ko.
"You are." Tumawa nalang ako para hindi ipakita na totoo nga ang iniisip niya.
"Stop pretending." she added. Dahil doon, napaangat ako ng tingin sakanya. "It hurts more if you pretend. I've been through that... trust me." she smirked at me.
"I don't have a choice." Sabi ko at sabay tumayo para ang sugat niya naman sa mukha ang magamot ko.
I heard her sighed. "According to the book I've read... Sometimes... we get sad about things and we don't like to tell people that we're sad about them. We like to keep it a secret. Or sometimes, we are sad but we really don't know why we're sad, so we say we aren't sad but we really are. That's why it's important to let it go, darling."
"I see that you've suffered long enough and it's time for you to let go. You deserve to be happy." she added. I started stitching up her wounds. Hindi na ako sumagot at hindi na rin naman niya dinuktungan ang kanyang sinabi.
