Ghaile took the syringe with a dose of pain reliever inside the tube. Pain is banging on his back and cut through, across his chest. Tiningnan niya ang sarili mula sa wall mirror. They kept going back round in circles. From Shannon to Rayden and now, Jan Rexur.
Somewhere down the line, they are reminded that this world even from ancient times is never an easy place to live. They are walking back and forth in a jungle of uncertainties where survival of the fittest remains the cornerstone of the law.
But why Jrex? He's not weak. He is not on the lower level to fall under the category of becoming a prey to someone's greed. Jan Rexur is one of the toughest man out there to have ever lived.
"Ano iyan?" nag-aalalang tanong ni Jellyann na sumunod sa kanya sa loob ng banyo. "Ghaile, is it illegal drug?" He can almost taste the angst around in her voice.
"No, just a pain killer." Hindi niya na itinuloy ang pagtarak ng karayom sa kanyang braso.
Lumambot ang mukha ng dalaga at dumaan sa mga mata nito ang sundot ng konsensya. She looked away as if hiding a piece of truth from him.
"I ordered us something for dinner," she said after a while.
Tumango siya.
Ibinalik niya sa cabinet ang gamot at naghilamos na lang. Hinablot ang face towel at isinubsob doon ang mukha. He raked his fingers on his hair and swung around towards the door. Nakahain na sa dining table sa loob ng opisina niya ang mga pagkain. But his appetite was completely off, even his sense of smell.
"Ghaile, kakain ka. Hindi ako papayag na parurusahan mo ng ganyan ang sarili mo."
He frowned and drew a deep breath.
Kasama niyang nagluluksa ang kasintahan at alam niyang hindi siya nito iiwan. Kung may bagay man na ayaw niyang iparanas nito ay ang nararamdaman niyang pagkadurog ngayon dahil sa pagkawala ng kapatid niya.
"Pumunta ako kina Athrun at Safhire," sabi nitong nilagyan ng dip fried squid ang pinggan niya saka hot sauce. "Bumubuti na ang kondisyon ni Athrun."
"I will check him during my rounds later," sagot niyang uminom ng tubig. All the food tasted bland.
"Hindi mo ba nagustuhan ang mga pagkain?"
"Babe, I really don't have my appetite right now."
"But you need to eat!" Giit nito.
"I know," hinawakan niya ang kamay nito.
"Tiningnan ko ang calendar mo. May surgery ka ngayon? Gusto mo bang i-check ko ang emotional status ng pasyente bago siya isalang sa operating room?" She picked a chunk of fish salad using her fork and fed it to him.
"That would be nice, babe."
Psychiatric consultation sometimes is required in surgical management especially with patients who are emotionally and mentally disturbed because of their illness. There are instances that a patient will develop a major psychotic issues that is beyond the ability of the surgeon to manage.
After they had their dinner, he proceeded to the internal medicine to have a quick briefing with the resident doctors. Habang si Jellyann ay pinuntahan ang pasyente upang kausapin.
