Ice Cream
Maayos na ang lagay ng mga batang nalunod noong nakaraan. Biyernes na ngayon at wala kaming pasok sa center. May libreng bakuna at medical mission kasi ngayon sa barangay at kailangan na naroon ang mga nanay ng mga bata. The center is primarally composed of mothers plus the barangay captain's wife is the center's head. Kailangan rin siya doon upang tumulong.
"Lia paano ka natutong mag cpr?" Tanong ni Anne habang bitbit namin ang mga kahon na naglalaman ng mga gamot.
"Registered nurse ako." Her eyes widen and her mouth instantly formed an 'o'.
"Eh bakit hindi ka mag-apply sa ospital sa bayan! Feeling ko magaling ka eh." Wala pa ang medical team mula sa Kalibo at sa bayan, naunang dumating ang mga gamot na ipapamigay sa mga pasyente.
"Pag-iisipan ko." I smiled at her. Im just wearing a white blouse and a skinny jeans. Inimbita kasi ako ni Megan na tumulong ngayon. Hindi rin ako tumanggi dahil wala rin naman akong gagawin sa bahay. Namiss ko rin naman ang mag-asikaso ng ibang tao.
After some time dumating na ang medical team. Agad na bumungad sa akin si Theo. He was wearing a white polo shirt ang maong pants. May dark blue and gray lines iyon sa gilid. May logo rin sa left side ng dibdib. That must be the hospital's colors.
His white coat is resting on his arms together with his stethoscope. Mas lumaki ang katawan niya ngayon kumpara noong nasa college pa kami. Ngumiti siya sa akin. He is now approaching me. Napansin ko na may dala siyang paper bag.
"Buti naman at sumama ka. I told Megan to bring you. Here, wear this." Inabot niya sa akin ang paper bag at binuksan ko iyon.
It's the same shirt he is wearing. Ito rin ang suot nila Megan at Anne at ng iba pang volunteers sa medical mission. Inangat ko iyon at nakitang para talaga sa akin iyon. There was an embroidered 'Martinez' below the logo and a big 'nurse' on the back. Agad ko siyang tinampal sa braso at dumaing naman siya. Ang OA lang, hindi naman masakit.
"You're going to blow my cover." He just messed with my hair and chuckled.
"Then tell me what I need to know to help you." I sighed and pulled him to the corner.
I told him everything including how Edmond cheated. He's the only person who knows the real me here. Aside from Andres of course. Mas maayos na rin na may kaibigan akong nakakakilala sa totoong ako.
"Okay noted. But I'll be honest with details such as where we met and that you're a registered nurse. Would that be okay?" I just nodded at him.
"But don't disclose too much details, may pagkashunga ka pa naman madalas." Humalukipkip at inirapan niya naman ako.
"Ganda mo naman sis, may pa fake husband ka pang nalalaman. Nagfi-fake taxi na ba kayo niyan?" Agad kong pinitik ang noo niya at piningot ang tenga niya.
"Hindi pa ako ready for mature roles! Wholesome kami." He just shrugged and raised his brows as if he's not believing anything that I said. Totoo naman iyon! Puro lang kami kiss!
