I just stood there sa harapan niya, with my eyes wide open, then bigla na rin siyang nagsalita.
"ano? Tara?" he chuckles.
"doc Cal!" bumalik yung braincells ko bigla. Tawag sa akin ni Nurse Jenny.
"ah, yes?" lingon ko naman sakanya.
"magkakilala pala kayo ni doc pogi?" tanong ni Nurse Jenny.
I saw John Patrick Smirk. Did she said pogi? Ugh, I knew it, this guy talaga can make everyone's heart soft because of his charisma.
"ahh oo" as I continue to write my Doctor's Order sa chart for the patient na binista ko kanina.
"college buddies" biglang singit ni John Patrick na nakaismid.
"tagal niyo na po palang magkakilala?" nurse Jenny said.
"yup" I saw him from my peripheral vision, he's smiling.
"ehem, here na Nurse Jenny, if ever may concerns ka or si patient, text mo na lang ako, thank you" I handed her the patient's chart.
I was about to walk at the other side of the nurse station to get the other chart, when He suddenly grab my arm.
"tara na!" then he smiled at me.
"may patient pa ako"
Binitawan niya ako, then I went to the other side to get the chart, he followed me.
"doktora, anong room po hinanahanp niyo?"
Asked Nurse Jenny
"1236?"
"doc, discharged na po siya, kahapon pa po" tugon naman ni Nurse Gie.
I was dumbfounded.
"yes doc, si doc. Martinez nag discharge sakanya" sabi naman ni Nurse Jenny.
"well then, wala ka na atang patient?" I heard a manly voice near my ear as if I can feel his breath with normal pattern.
I turn my glance on him.
He's face was so near.
I immediately took a step back.
"coffee?" he said again with smiling face up to his ear.
Ugh, this man.
"go na doktora!" Nurse Jenny said with pangaasar na face.
"I have no choice but to say yes I guess? My treat!!" I said enthusiastically.
Hindi ako sanay to have someone pay for my coffee, I can handle my own finances naman.
"alright, as you wish" he said.
I grab my Givenchy Atigona tote bag and walk towards the elevator.
He followed me.
When the elevator open, we got in.
I started to talk to break the ice.
"Bakit ka nandito?" I ask him without looking in his direction.
"baba, magkakape" pilosopong sabi niya.
I glared at him
"no, I mean, here, dito, sa ospital"
