he scent of the perfume surrounded me as I sprayed it, a hint of fresh sweet blooming flowers, it is. This is just one of the perfumes we bought, or should I say, she bought for me as a present. She likes perfumes, we both do, as best friends.

It has been past two weeks since I talked to her and bothered her. I thought, maybe space would be necessary for us, for all of us. Just to have more time to think properly and to contain stability to our emotions. Although I wanted at that two weeks to talk her, I just couldn't bring myself anymore.

The whole building knows that we're on a 'not so fine' state and they've been questioning us both. It is evident, we would walk pass by each other and she'll just keep her stand firm, her chin up and her eyes straight forward, won't even take a glance on my assistant even if she's greeting her good mornings or afternoons, even evenings.

Many have been wondering as well as why her boyfriend keeps on being sent away by the security. The guard was surely directed not to let him in, but not even that set of securities blocking him knows whatever happened.

One day, he waited outside and it was passed an hour of her dismissal but she hasn't go out yet the her assistant came to call one of the guards and that's how it all started, him being sent out of the facility like a black lister. There's also one time that he was asked to go although he's not trying to go in and just waiting for her patiently outside.

He just want to see her, talk to her...
I know... because I want the same thing.
But as of now, it's not what we need, at least what she needs.
She probably must need to figure it out herself, to take herself back or to let herself go and change.

Even her patients noticed it, the change on her aura and attitude. She was once a friendly a d warm doctor, but even to her patients, she would be a little dull and would smile less. Her assistant once told me that a patient asked her if she's okay and she only answered with a simple nod and a tiny smile while checking up the vital signs.

I can imagine her as of now doing her rounds with a serious face again, not wanting to be that soft her anymore and it's... painful. It is still painful, more when the fact that the reason behind it will flash and flash and flash in my mind.

"Good afternoon."
         The securities greeted me with a slight bow as I entered the entrance.

There's a few patients walking by with their dextrose attached to them, having a physical therapy. There are some who are in freestyle so they must be relatives of some patients. It's always nice to be here as a doctor, a well known one but...

"I heard she had an issue with one of the doctors here."

"Right, they also said they were friends before until she betrayed the doctor for a man."

"Is it true?"

"Yah, even doctors... they don't have the class. Or maybe they forgot to have a class."

Stained already. I hoped so hard that our jobs won't be affected by what happened so that careers won't be stained but just ignoring each other, it's already making a lot of people conclude things.

"Good afternoon, Doctor Manoban."
      My assistant greeted me as soon as I opened the door.

She bowed and I returned just a smile towards her action.
