But of course there's are chanting with...
"May you flow out, catarrh, son of catarrh, who breaks the bones, who destroys the skull, who hacks in the marrow, who causes the seven openings in the head to ache.
Ebers Papyrus" - mahaba nitong saad..tumango tango nalang ako.. Chanting..huh..mukhang diko na kailangan yan..baka pagkalan akong baliw sa Korea kung magchachant pako..isa pa di na makekeri ng utak ko yan..
Did you get it miss?- tanong nya.. Ngumiti lang ako..
Anyway what does a doctor being called here?- I asked ,nahiya pa ako..baka isipin nyang physician lang diko pa alam.
Naguluhan naman ito ngunit sumagot rin..
Swnw (sunu) , did you really don't know that miss?- naiintriga nitong tanong..
Yes , I used to call them physician or doctor and I'm not interested in past so I didn't bother to know- paliwanag ko..
Binaba naman nya ang pinagsusulat nya..
I'm sorry I jump up in the middle already ,without knowing you might not know the basic information.- paumanhin nito..
Its my fault don't worry - tumingin naman ito sakin..
Miss I'm curious , why you wanted to learn medicine since your the king concubine ?- ano kayang sasabihin ko..
Hmm..ah its because I want to broaden my knowledge and since I'm bored here doing nothing..-I replied simpleng sagot lang.. Teka I might forgot..
Sunu, I think I would just meet you for thrice a week..but not in every two weeks..- tumango naman sya but it can be seen in his eyes na gusto nyang malaman kung bakit pero dahil wala akong maisip na idadahilan di na ako umimik..

......

You startled me!- bulyaw ko sa amen nato pagkagising ko kasi nagpapalit sya nang damit sa kwarto ko..
You seem to be angry than startled- saad nito..
Talagang punyemes ang lalaking to..
Pero bakit nga ba ang init ng dugong ko sa kanya di naman ako ganito sa iba pero sa kanya lang ako madaling magalit.. Tch..ah basta wala nakong paki dyan..

So what you doing here again? It is your dressing room -  tumayo narin ako para magayos.
How about the sunu ?- oh he concern about it huh.
Good,why?- ngumiwi ito at saka lumapit sakin.
See you then ..-he gave me pecked then walk away..
I think I need to get used to it now..even though I don't like that pharaoh the original must be different.. I can't also destroy her reputation ..

Risha do you have an idea where I can go this time?- napaisip naman to ..
Please follow me miss- tumayo naman ako at sumunod sa kanya.
Lady the king was really nice to you..this is the first time we seen the king posses to someone even the Queen he didn't act like that ..- she spoke as we walking..
Well he's a man after all so its natural for him to act like that if he loves a girl..but that's doesn't matter to me after all ..so why bring that up?- I asked..
Uh I'm sorry miss im just seeing you ignoring his majesty don't you like him my lady?-  napacurious naman nito..
Of course I like him too and if you wanna asked why I treated him like that..it because its my characters and attitude ..did I fulfil your curiosity?-agad itong humingi ng paumanhin.. Tch..pinaka ayaw ko sa lahat yung kwinekwesyon ako ..I know more than anyone kung anong ginagawa ko I'm aware .. Nakarating kami sa isang paliguan kind of public namataan ko lahat ng asawa ng hari dito kasama ang ilang mga servants nila..
What a coincidence pati kasi yung reyna andito rin.. Napatingin sakin sina Shilli ngumiti pato sakin saka si Shami na as usual nakairap nanaman.
Good to see you here,I heard your learning medicine.-bati sakin ni Shilli.
Well yeah,it fun you can also try..- umupo na ako at nilagay ang paa sa umaagos ng tubig..

I don't think I can face that as I'm kinda,busy- tumabi ito sakin .. Napakalinaw ng tubig..then our servants begin to scrub our back..
Is this deep?- tanong ko habang nakatingin sa tubig..

Not really,this is your first time here right?- I nodded..
My Queen your already leaving?- napatingin kami kina Shami ..
I still have many things to do- the Queen replied at naglakad na sya  palayo.
Oh I forgot, I have a visitor to meet today ,I be leaving then -paalam rin ni Shilli.. Nagpatuloy naman ako sa pagligo ..matapos akong higuran ay pinaalis ko na si risha..
Nagpasya akong maglakad lakad muna sa paligid ..kaming dalawa,nalang ni Shami ang natira dito wala narin kasi yung servants nya..abala naman sya sa mga bulaklak sa isang table..

....

I mesmerized by the water and I wanted to swim though I didn't know how to float myself if this deep .. I can see the land so I'm not sure if this deep or not.

Malawak dito at fresh ang hangin dahil sa tubig.. Summer place kumbaga.
Booo!- sa gulat ko sa humawak sa balikat ko ay naoutbalance ako..tuloy nahulog ako sa tubig..
Dahil di ako marunong lumangoy Hindi na ako nakaahon till I'm out of breath hanggang sa unti unting nanlalabo ang aking paningin.

....

Nagising ako sa masamang panaginip..I cant breath when I felt a skin touch my lips or giving me air..
Bumulwak ako ng tubig at may humahagod saking likod..
When I feel OK na pagtanto kong isang lalaki na white hair ang buhok ang tumulong sakin..
W..who are you?- I asked at pinilit na umupo ng tuwid.
Dourou ,are you okay now?- I nodded..malamang pangalan nya yung dourou .. I held my chest to chase out my breath.. I check my body and good I'm still the Hittite princess I thought I time travel again to another time..

But then what happen this time??.
