3 R D 。

"Wong Jinxia." Napatingin naman si Jinxia sa tumawag sa kaniya. Nurse iyon sa clinic 5, at hindi niya pa rin alam kung anong ginagawa nila dito ni Mingyu. Sumaglit siya ng tingin sa katabi at nakita nito ang pagsenyas ni Mingyu na sumunod doon.

Karissa Lin, M.D
Resident Psychiatrist

Napabuntong-hininga siya dahil sa kaba. Akala niya ay kung saan sila pupunta ni Mingyu pero dito siya dinala ng binata. She told herself not to panic, dahil alam niya sa sarili niya na ginagawa ni Mingyu ang lahat para bumalik na ang lahat sa dati.

"Good morning, Miss Wong." The doctor welcomed her as soon as she entered her clinic, with a smile plastered on her face. Napatitig naman ng matagal si Jin sa mukha ng doktor dahil sa itsura nito.

Who would have thought that this woman is a psychiatrist?

I thought she was a model.

"Good morning too." She replied. Umupo siya sa upuan sa harap ng mesa ni Dra.Lin para makapag-umpisa na sila sa check-up.

"So, how are you feeling?"

Kamusta nga ba ako?

Masaya ba ako sa buhay ko?

Kaya ko pa ba?

"I'm fine now, Doc." She said. Napatingin naman sa kaniya ang doktor. It was like she's being scanned, from her healed wounds and facial expressions.

"Are you seeing flashbacks or having nightmares?"

"Naaalala ko lahat.." She started to close her fists in anger and disgust because she remembered every single detail. "—Nandidiri ako sa sarili ko. Hindi ko na alam kung paano pa ako haharap ulit kay Mingyu na walang halong pagdududa. Nagigising nalang ako kada gabi para pigilan ang bangungot na 'yon."

"You can't stop it from happening, Jinxia. But you can prevent your nightmares to haunt you again." She smiled to the furious lady infront of her.

"Paano?" Jinxia asked.

"You'll find the answer soon. That's better than telling it myself." Tumawa ito at inayos ang papeles na nasa mesa niya. "By the way, sino ba si Mingyu sa buhay mo?"

"Ano kasi, Doc. Ang hirap i-explain. Nakakahiyang lapitan 'yon, simula nang magising ako sa kahibangan ko noon. He is just another star that is too far to be held by my hands. When I long for him, I write. That's what I do." Nagulat naman ang doktor dahil sa sinabi niya.

"Ang layo ng sagot mo pero, you're a writer?"

"A rookie. My book got published weeks ago." She awkwardly smiled.

"Chinese book?" The doctor asked. "---I'm a chinese too." Maging siya ay nagulat sa sinabi ni Dra. Lin. Kahit naman kasi nasa Hong Kong siya ay hindi lahat ng professionals dito ay dito talaga nakatira, minsan 'yung iba nabigyan lang ng permanent residency.

Pinakita ni Dra. Lin sa kanya ang shelf niyang halos puno na sa dami ng libro. Medical books, pyschology books, law books, random novels and her book.

"You have my book, wow." Jinxia said with amusement.

"M-meizhen? Oh my!"

Tila nawala naman ang pagiging sophisticated looking ng doktor nang magtatalon ito bago yakapin si Jin.

Bumalik na ang doktor sa upuan niya dala-dala ang libro. She flipped through a page where a bookmark is placed. Mukhang matagal na niya itong binabasa.

"Let's talk for a while,
before I bid goodbye.
Let's talk for a while,
after you gave up and sighed.
Let's talk about how you let me go,
Let's talk about how did you let my tears flow,
Let's talk about when did you started to leave me behind
Let's talk about how great you are to hide."

"This piece broke me. Did you broke up with your partner?" Karissa asked her, making her cheeks red.

"I have no boyfriend at all. . ." Napatawa ng malakas ang doktor.

"How did you write such works with painful words?"

"Someone inspired me to. . ."

"So who is that someone? Mingyu?" Karissa grinned as she held her pen.

"I love him. That's all I could say."

"Wanna hear my answer, Jin?--" Nagulat siya nang makita si Mingyu na nakasandal sa may pintuan. "---I love you too."

"Kim Mingyu! Get out of my office damn it!" Karissa shouted at him kaya naguluhan si Jin.

"Hey, don't create imaginations on your mind. He's my friend."

"How..."

"I transferred to his school when I arrived here in Korea. Yah, we're getting too far from our real motive. Come on, answer my questions and let's meet after my shift."
