"Ms. Bang sure is lucky," said a nurse.
"Anong lucky? Comatose nga siya," sabi naman ng isang nurse.
"Kahit na. Pag gising naman niya may Alyssa Valdez na naghihintay sa kanya."
Another nurse joined the conversation and said, "Oo nga. Grabe ang sweet ni Aly. Everyday may flowers for Ms. Bang. Tapos kinakantahan pa niya before matulog."
"Tapos ang bait pa sa mga nursing staff. Nagbibigay ng food tapos game lang kapag may nagpapapicture sa kanya," dagdag pa ng isa.
"Kung ako lang girlfriend niya, hay naku, babakuran ko talaga yan."
"Tama. Hindi ko talaga pakakawalan yan," agreed one of the nurses.
"Di ba Aly is Dr. Lazaro's ex?" asked one of them.
"Oo. Grabe. Envy of all nga dati yang si Dr. Lazaro dahil siya lang ang nakikita ng isang Alyssa Valdez. Pero ngayon someone took her crown."
"Ms. Bang is the new queen."
"But she's in coma now. Mapansin kaya tayo ni Aly?"
"Asa pa tayo. E si Dr. Lazaro nga na ex niya parang na friendzoned na."
"Ano kayang reason ng break up nila?" tanong pa ng isa.
"Whatever it is, one thing's for sure. Malaki ang panghihinayang ni Dr. Lazaro."
The conversation of the 3 nurses was stopped when Den passed by them.
Den just acted like she didn't hear everything they said. Pero sa utak niya ang dami niyang sinasabi.
Grabe itong mga babae na ito ah. Do they really need to rub it in? Na mali ang decision ko? Oh well, they have a point there. Pero kahit na. Mga usisera.
Tapos gusto pa nilang magpapansin kay Aly. At kung maka-Aly naman sila feeling close sila masyado.
Ugh, Ly! Could you like stop making every nurse in this hospital adore you?
"Good evening, Dr. Lazaro," greeted the nurses.
"Good evening," Den replied with a fake smile. She then went to Bang's room.
-----------------------------
Upon opening the door, Den heard the strum of the guitar and Aly's voice. She waited for Aly to finish the song.
When the song's finished, Den entered clapping her hands with matching slow head shakes.
"OA. Kailangan may head shake pa?" said Aly while laughing.
"Grabe. Hindi lang kasi ako makapaniwala," said Den.
"Na ano? That I'm already a good singer?"
"Hindi. You took voice lessons di ba? Hindi lang ako makapaniwala sa kayang gawin ng pera sa mga panahon ngayon. You're so far from the youtube sensation na kumanta ng "Burn" hahaha," pang-aasar ni Den. She's still doing the clap-head shake combo.
Aly and Den have already become comfortable bullying each other and telling jokes dahil sa ilang linggo na din sila nagkakasama.
"Hiyang hiya naman ako sa boses mo," said Aly.
"Well, you should be," said Den in her most seductive voice.
Hindi maintindihan ni Aly pero she felt her blood rushing to her cheeks.
She tried to hide it by throwing a pillow at Den and said, "Singing voice ang labanan dito, hindi bedroom voice."
Natawa na lang sila pareho.
