I was woken up by a nurse checking my temperature. I slowly open my eyes while adjusting to the bright light coming from the bulb. A nurse around her forties already welcomed me with a warm smile and assisted me to sit.
"Kumusta po pakiramdam niyo, ma'am? Pinakiusapan po kasi ako ni Doc Francis. na icheck ka po." She said while smiling. Speaking of Francis, nasan kaya siya?
"I'm good. What time is it, already?" I asked at nilibot ang patingin sa kabuuan ng kwarto. I was no longer at his house, though the ambiance is still very homey. There is an IV inserted to mine, and so I supposed that I was rushed by him at the hospital. The room as I say is very homey, this is not the typical hospital room as seen on movies, this is not the scary one. Rather, it seems like a high end state of the eye hospital suite.
" 6pm na po, Ma'am kaya you need to eat na po. Para maka inom ka na po ng gamot niyo. Baka mamaya maya po darating na rin si Doc." She said and prepared my foods
My eyes widened when I heard what she said. I slept that long? Holy freak! She placed the soup on the table at binigyan ako ulit ng ngiti. "Thank you! Mind joining me?"
"Ay nako, wag na po,Ma'am para po sayo yan." She said and chuckled.
"San nga pala pumunta di Francis? I mean Doc Francis?" I asked her.
"Patapos palang po ang clinic hours niya. Kaya ibinilin niya kayo sa akin. Nurse Fina. Ako ang Private nurse na inutusan ni Doc na magbantay sayo habang nasa clinic niya ito." Sabi niya at inabot ang kamay sa akin, in return ay inabot ko ito. Nakipagkamay. "Pag may kailangan ka pa, wag kang mahihiyang magtawag."
Napailing ako. Kailangan ba talagang private nurse pa talaga ang kinuha niya. "Nasa hospital pa rin ba ako?" I asked her and chuckled"ibang iba kasi 'tong room eh." I said and looked around again.
She chuckled, "Yes Ma'am! You are actually at one of the hospital suite ng hospital. Si Doc po ang personal na nagsabi na dito kayo ilipat," sagot nito sa akin at mas lalo namang nanlaki ang mata ko. Anong klaseng pangwawaldas ba ng pera ang ginagawa niya?
"Diba mahal to?" I asked and shooked my head. Bakit kelangan niyang gumasto ng malaki.
"Can I ask you something?" I asked her again.
"Ano ho iyon?" Tanong niya.
I cleared my throat and composed myself as I search for right words to say, "K-kilala mo ba yung asawa ni Doc Francis?"
