When Heartbeat Stops [COMPLETED]

Chapter 12

-

I entered the elevator and clicked twice the floor kung nasa'n ang opisina ng head namin. Nakakagalit ang ginawa nila, they after money kaya nagawa nilang ipa-exclusive ang OR for VIP patients. When the door almost closed, I saw a hand stopping it. The door opens wide and saw Dionne with his soft eyes. Why do I need to see that kind of looks?

"Alis", I firmly ordered him but he didn't moved an inch. Napakatigas ng ulo! "Alis sabi", I told him again. Buti na lang walang nasakay sa elevator kaya hindi nakakasagabal ang scene na 'to.

"I told you to stay", he said with a low voice.

I scoffed. "And I clearly told you that I can't. Now, move", but he didn't moved again. Ang tigas niya! "I am your superior, Dr. Fracio. I need to do my job so now move your hand", I told him.

Unti-unti niyang binibitiwan ang paghawak sa pinto but his soft eyes remained. "Kailangan mo ba talagang gawin 'to, Anasthasia?", he asked me.

"I need to. Hindi maganda ang ginawa nila", I honestly said and then I felt the anger runs again through my veins.

"Ako ng bahala. Trust me", he said then went in to the elevator. Sumara na ang elevator, we are now here together looking at each other. "Trust me", he told me. I heard the elevator's sound, nasa floor na kami ng head but I didn't went out. Natulala na lang ako bigla. Nang maka-recover ako, agad akong lumabas at pumunta sa opisina ng head namin.

I felt Dionne's hand on my wrist. "Thasia naman", he almost begged. "Baka mapahamak ka".

I gave him a smile, a genuine one. "Kaya ko 'to. Mas mapapahamak ka kapag ikaw ang gumawa", I told him and removed his hand on my wrist. Agad 'kong pinuntahan ang opisina ni Dr. Hermosa. I knocked three times before entering. I saw Dr. Santos laughing with him. They looked at me with a confused look. Hindi ko na rin naramdaman na sumunod sa akin si Dionne and I felt relieved by that. Intern pa lang siya, baka mapahamak siya kapag ginawa niya 'to.

"Dr. Colonel", Dr. Hermosa called me with his smile. "Ano'ng atin?", he asked. How could he acted like that without thinking na may ginawa siyang 'di maganda? I can't believe him!

"I guess you already knew why I am here, Dr. Hermosa", I said. The both of them let out a chuckle. They gone mad, I guess.

"Oh sorry but I beg your pardon, Dr. Colonel. Kindly elaborate why you're here", he stated.

Naramdaman ko na naman ang pagkulo ng dugo ko dahil sa ngiti niyang ganun. This man is really something! "Why did you made the OR exclusive only for VIPs?", I asked him, calmly. Walang mangyayari kapag inuna ko ang galit ko. Superior ko pa rin siya, but I won't let this slide. Sobra na 'to.

"The boards already talked about that. I just made an action, Dr. Colonel", he answered like nothing happened.

"A mother almost died because of that action, Dr. Hermosa. She got a stab wound and had a baby on her womb. She needed an operation but you made the OR exclusive to your VIPs!", I almost shout. I gritted my teeths. I pursed my lips to control my anger.

"But in my guess that you operated her quickly, Dr. Colonel", Dr. Santos intruded. I eyed him.

"You have nothing to do with this, Dr. Santos", I said. He chuckled to what I said.

"You have some guts to say that, Dr. Colonel. I like your power", he sarcastically stated.

I gave him a smile. "Sorry but I don't need your opinion", I said.
