"Are you sure? If you're not sure this may affect your image, and this may lead into a scandalous situation." ani Dra. Jimenez.

Nanatili akong nakaupo sa swivel chair ko at pinaglalaruan yung ballpen na hawak ko ngayon, ipinatong ko ang aking kaliwang kamay sa table ko, pinabayaan ko lang magsalita si Dra. Jimenez.

"Are you listening? Come on Dra. Soleil, are you even taking this seriously" aniya.

"Exactly Dra. Jimenez. Im a doctor.... i spent a lot of years studying this profession, if you're here to question my abilities... Well you're in the wrong room" sagot ko.

Naglakad ako papuntang pintuan at pinagbuksan sya, hindi na ako nagsalita at pinabayaan ko na lang na kusa syang lumabas. Bumalik ako sa upuan ko at tiningnan ang mga chart ng aking pasyente, how dare she question if im sure about this, hell yes im sure, I was trained to diagnose and treat a broad range of childhood illnesses to serious diseases.

Pilit kong hindi inisip ang pangyayari kanina, i really don't understand that girl, we were buddies in Med School, Parati kaming magkakasama nina ashia since we're all from San Vicente.

I studied Med School in Cebu with Ashia. There we met Vira Jimenez, hindi kami in good terms noong High School pero naiba yun nung College. Me, ilios and ashia and yiannis, we went to cebu all together.

Nahiwalay samin sina Sun at Samuel dahil sa manila sila nag aral, they chose Law for profession and gladly they're both a succesful lawyer already.
While, Aia and Ali, zad and shella i really don't have any news from them, i really want to bond with them but sadly, we're not in highschool anymore, we're now adults, we need to sort out our priorities, not like during highschool, kung kailan gusto naming gumala, makakagala talaga kami, pero ngayon we're all busy na.

I went outside and change my shoes, i wore my white crocs and brought my flask with me.
"Doc, kayo po pala" i heard a woman's voice behind me.

Lumingon ako and there i saw suinnee, she's wearing a black pencil cut skirt and white blouse with a folded suit on her arms. I went near her and hugged her, ngayon lang sya nakabisita samin at hindi rin sya masyadong nakaka-attend sa mga gatherings.

"Buti naman bumisita ka" sabi ko at kinuha na yung flask ko. "Oo e, on leave kasi ako simula bukas" aniya.

"Tara punta tayo kay ashia" i told her. We passed by a lot of different wards, may bumabati sakin na mga nurses at binabati ko rin naman sila pabalik. Pumasok na kami sa sariling office ni ashia at hinintay na lang namin sya.

Ilang sandali ang lumipas ay dumating din sya. Pumasok sya habang tinatanggal ang coat nya at mask nya.

"Ang layo naman ng department mo" reklamo ni suinnee, masayang nakangiti si ashia at lumapit na sya sakin at niyakap ako pati na rin si suinnee.

Nanatili kami sa opisina ni ashia at nagorder ng pagkain, doon muna kami nagstay ng ilang oras wala na rin naman akong gagawin ngayong hapon, gaya rin ni ashia.

"Oo nga, sabi ni sam mahigpit daw yung kompanya na pinagtratrabahuhan nya kaya wala syang masyadong free time" sabi ni ashia, i tried to ask them if they're available for a dinner kaso hindi raw sila available.

"Oo, yung boss kasi ni sam dati nang naloko, kaya sya naghihigpit sa mga employees nya lalo na kay sam dahil si sam yung asset ng kompanya" sagot ni suinnee naman. Sam won many cases when he was a Criminal Lawyer, doon sya nagsimula, pero hindi nagtagal ay nag shift sya bilang Corporate Lawyer, Sun and Sam belongs to the best lawyers in the country, sam really build up his name in Criminal Field sadly He's now building his name in Corporate field.
