ME VS. HER
IS LIKE
FIRST AIDER VS. A DOCTOR
☆
That afternoon, I was walking home, alone. My classes just ended.
"Ugh---ouch"
"Sige tuluyan nyo na yan!"
"Boss, sigurado kayo? Akala ko ba pupuruhan lang?"
"Tss. Basta bilisan nyo na"
"Aray--aacckk"
"Tara na! Tara na!"
I quickly hid myself, afraid that they'll see me.
The gangsters run fast, laughing with each other. Tss.
When I can't see them at all, I went out and stand straight.
"Tangna naman oh" I heard his voice. "Hahaha tangina nyong lahat!" He cuss.
*cough *cough
I walk towards the narrow dark street, where the gangsters came out earlier.
"Hey! Akala ko ba tapos na kayo sakin? Ano tutuluyan nyo na ba ako? Hahahaha Sige lang!"
I walk towards him,
"Uh...No. They already ran away."
He has a pointed nose. Messy hair. Bleeding lips. One of his eyes were closed. He can't stand at all, I suppose. His shirt is also filled with blood. What the hell did this guy do to those gangsters to be beaten-up by this?
"Oh. Okay, anong ginagawa mo dito? Umalis ka na, baka bumalik sila, madamay ka pa"
"You're badly injured" I said. "Can you stand?"
"Obviously, no. Hahaha. I can handle myself, I'll go home later when I already can. Go home now kiddo."
"But, my conscience will eat me up till midnight. 'What if's' will be popping inside my head later, if I leave you in that state."
"Hahaha, you're an over thinker"
"Yeah, sinabi mo pa" I agreed "let's apply some first aid to your wounds, baka ma-infect pa"
I walk closer and sat beside him. Open my medicine bag and get the first aid kit.
"Oh. I just noticed, you're wearing all white, hahaha. Are you a nurse?" He asked, maybe to escape the awkward silence.
"Soon to be a Nurse. I'm just a college student. 4th year. Graduating"
"Oh. Hahaha. I'm---OUCH! dude, dahan dahan lang naman." He shouted when I applied alcohol on his wounds.
"Sorry"
He sigh "I'm already 25, Engineer, hahaha" eh? Engineer?
"Engineer? Then why did those people do this to you?" I asked, now, I'm curious.
"Wala eh, basagulerong likas, hahaha" tss. Maybe, or maybe there's a confidential reason? Hmm.
"Psh."
"Hey, I'm Ethan, by the way." He said once again
"Viel" I answered back.
"Thanks for helping me Viel" he smiled, a heart melting smile.
Damn it.
"No prob. C'mon, stand up, we'll go in the hospital."
That same afternoon, we went to the hospital, Mercado's Hospital, to be specific. In that hospital, we saw her. We saw your girl.
