[Theo]



Heather and I were walking to Yael's house, my Mom was shocked when she suddenly showed up on our doorstep this morning, they are more shocked when she said we were friends. 


I can't even forget their faces even if I don't want to remember their reaction 


"Theo!" Mr Smite, Yael's father welcomed us at the front gate. He gaze at Heather and hold her hand "Heather sweetie you came too. Come, we're waiting for you Yael is still in his bed I'll ask someone to go get him" 


We were guided inside, three ladies in maid uniform greeted us and guided Heather on the living room while I'm getting dragged by Mr Smite upstairs to his office 


Mr Smite and I often discussed complicated cases that he's been handling, usually Yael is with us but he might be entertaining Heather right now. 


"I heard from Yael that you've already participated in an autopsy procedure?" Mr Smite asked as he was rummaging in his desk drawer 


"It wasn't a real autopsy procedure, my friend stage an autopsy for their little game. But we did use a recently dead body" I answered 


Mr Smite's office is small with only white paint on the wall, a half skeleton beside the door, a large wooded table and a swivel chair in front of it. The table was full in paper documents with one of their family picture beside the computer he's using. There's a huge book shelves at the right side corner full of medical books and two single cushion chair in front of him. A microscope is sitting beside the book shelves, a projector and a large screen in the back of his table. 


I was distracted by the light, it is so bright 


"How did your friend managed to get the approval of the hospital" He asked. He seems to have got the documents that he wants to show me 


"He's a big shot of a brat who trade his brain to the government" 

Mr Smite ticker with his computer in a second a flash of light focused on the large screen, there was an MRI image of a skull flashed on the screen. 


As I was staring at the image it seems like it was slowly floats at the screen along with other MRI scan images which I cannot identify where they're coming from. The image highlighted a small threadlike clumps of flesh compressed together at one region of the brain. Words are floating around in much higher speed and then a floating word in bold yellow font comes to a halt 


"Glioblastoma" 


Mr Smite lightened up and rushed to my side "You will be a good surgeon one day" he rested his hand on my shoulder and laugh loudly 


and then the door forcibly kicked open, no a maid open the door slightly and Yael finished it up with a kick


"Theo you promised to interact with Heather today" Yael drag me slightly by my shirt and look at his father "Good morning Dad, Miss Tricia asked me to tell you that you have a surgery at 10 o'clock"


I spend two hours sitting at Yael's bed with Heather trying to educate us about fashion and guys with big muscles, the Kardashians, tick tok and Instagram. I realized how colorful it is in her point of view, it reminded me of my lil sister who talks about the guys he like who lives in Seoul and has a million more wives. 


"May announcement nga pala ako" Heather said while holding me at the door "Ipapakilala ko sa inyo ang boyfriend ko sa Monday!" She said smiling happily and let go of my hand 



Silly girl. Doesn't she cried herself to snot the first time I met her?


My Mom asked me to buy things for her before I get home and I have to comply so I went out to the supermarket, as I was walking I noticed that there was a commotion ahead


"May aksidente, nabangga yung multicab na may dalang mga supply sa pag gawa ng bahay at ang yung motor na may sakay na bata" I heard the ice cream vendor and a random lady talking 


an accident


I am walking ahead to get to the supermarket, I walked pass the accident but went back when I heard people shouting at each other


the scene was brutal, the little girl who were riding the motorcycle lost her arm, it was a few inch from her face, she was crying. The one who drove the motorcycle is unconscious when I was inching closer to the kid 


someone must have already called the ambulance since the accident gathered a huge amount of crowd


I asked a bystander for her blazer, she didn't move so I point the girl bleeding. She removed her blazer and handed it to me, I put pressure on the girl's wrist, she's losing too much blood. 

I grab the bystander which handed me the blazer and ask her to hold the cloth without exerting too much effort, enough to momentarily minimize the blood flow. The little girl is slowly losing consciousness

"It's okay" I reassured the girl as I grab her severed hand and wrapped it using the handkerchief I always have with me. 


"HOY HOY SAAN MO DADALHIN YANG KAMAY NG BATA!" A spectator said as I run away from the scene holding the hand with me


The spectator was running after me as I reached the ice cream vendor "Fifty scoops of mango flavor ice cream, do you have a large plastic so I can put this?" he stepped back as I handed him the severed arm of the girl 


he needs to hurry up and scoop ice cream
