The clock is ticking and my heart beats erratically faster. My blood pressure increases and I'm releasing a lot of cortisol, a stress hormones.
In my whole damn life, I never thought I would be in this situation. I guess, I can't always get what I wanted, huh?
Life has this thing of ruining everything until you left with nothing. They said, it's gonna be okay! It will all pass and it's gonna be worth it! But how the hell it's gonna be worth it, if I'm watching now my life crumble down in front of my eyes!
They said, there's always a timing for everything. But when is that? When I no longer need it?
Medicine, it's my life. It made me who I am and they gonna take it from me.
All my sleepless nights, money and mental breakdowns in med school are gonna go down in drain.

Traydor ang luha ko ng rumagasa agad ito. Hindi man lang siya natinag at marahas ko itong pinahiran. Umiwas ako ng tingin sa kanya dahil hindi ko kaya ang sakit na naidudulot nito. Pagod na pagod na ako sa laban na ito.
I'm already a doctor. A neurosurgeon with outstanding credentials.
Na abot ko ang pangarap ko. I made it to the top, finally.
But instead of scalpel, I'll be holding the cold metal bars. Instead of surgical gloves, my hands are surrounded with handcuffs.
Kung gaano kataas ang pinangarap ko, ganoon din taas ang pagkakabagsak ko.
I'm Astherielle.
I'm a doctor.
This is a criminal case.
I stand accused of murder.

Law of Hearts
عاطفيةLife is crazy as it is. And life is crazier when you're in med school. But maybe, life is hella insane when you found yourself falling in love with a law student. Astherielle had a clear vision of herself. Medschool, residency and fellowship. Righ...
