My heart, it beats, beats for only you..
Medical City.
Halos mag-iisang bwan na din ako dito. Walang magawa, walang makausap. Mom’s insisting to accompany me all the time, pero ayoko kasing magbantay palagi sina mommy sa’ken, kaya ko naman sarili ko. Madami pa silang dapat asikasuhin bukod sa’kin. Nakakahiya, it feels like.. nagiging pabigat ako.
Kung bakit kasi nagkasakit pa ko? Gusto ko na ulit ng normal na buhay. I want to work, help in our business! Hindi yung paggising ko, parehong pader lang din ang bubungad sa’kin, hanggang sa bago ulit ako matulog. Worst, ayoko ng pag titignan nila ko, para silang naaawa sa’kin. Ayoko ng kinaaawaan ako, what for?
I was just like a resident here. Kabisado ko na ang facilities. ER, Operating Room, Pedia, pati Labor Room at Delivery Room yata napasyalan ko na. At para sa araw na ito, gusto ko lang maupo sa labas…
“Hi Miss.”
Huh? Is someone talking to me?
“Yeah?”
“May nakaupo ba dito? Pwedeng makitabi?”
Wow. Ang gwapo. Mukhang mayaman. At.. patient din s’ya dito? Well, pareho kaming nakahospital gown. Hmm..
“Ah, wala, I’m alone, sige lang.”
*awkward moment*
“Uhm, I’m Bryan. Patient ako dito, ulcer patient.”
“Ow, Kara. Residente ako dito, haha. May heart disease ako, mild heart disease.”
*shake hands*
Of course I have to lie, I have to say MILD, instead of saying my real condition. Kundi, ang gwapong to, kakaawaan din ako. Pathetic as I am.
Bryan seems a nice guy. A picturesque beauty. Gentleman pa. he has a good sense of humor. Tipong kahit kakakilala lang namin, parang close na kami. All throughout my stay here, ngayon lang ako nagkaron ng bagong kakilala. Na-excite tuloy ako. Andami naming napag-usapan agad! He’s a good speaker.. and listener. I like the look in his eyes, it depicts sincerity. And the trace of his face, almost perfect. Breath-taking. Not to mention, bagay kame.
Ok fine, crush ko na s’ya.
“Ah, Bryan, I think it’s time for me to go. By 6pm, dadating na sina mommy. Anyway, thanks for your time, it’s very nice to meet you.”
“No prob, I hope maulit, thanks din Kara.”
“I’ll see you around.”
“I’ll surely look for you.”
Days have passed, Bryan and I continued to see each other. We talked like there’s no tomorrow, laughed like we’re not patients at all. Ang saya! I don’t know if I was just being overwhelmed dahil nagkaron ako ng kaibigan dito, or nature n’ya talaga na madali s’yang makagaanan ng loob. I couldn’t really ask my heart since it wasn’t that normal to start with. Siguro nga, whirlwind ang dating pero, I think I like him. Not just I like him, I’m actually falling in love with this guy who’s still a ¾ stranger to me.
