Ashtherielle's POV

I am with Miranda, Blaze, Alezia, and Hade right now and we are currently walking in the hallway

Kaming lima ang palaging magkakasama dito sa hospital. We met when we were interns at this hospital and we are under the same resident and because of that, nasanay kami na kami ang palaging magkakasama

"Grabe guys nakakagulat naman yon"
Hindi makapaniwalang saad ni Miranda

"Bigla-bigla ba namang sabihin sa inyo, malamang magugulat talaga"
Saad naman ni Alezia

"Who do you guys think will be our new head?"
Napatingin naman ako sa nagtanong na si Blaze

"Hmmm... I think doctor siya"
Mabirong sagot ni Hade sa tanong ni Blaze na ngayon ay pinandilatan niya nga kaniyang mga mata

"Wala ka talagang kwentang kausap kahit kailan"

"At wala ka ding sense of humor kahit kailan, psh parang di mabiro"

"Blaze, ba't mo naman natanong ?"
Pinutol nalang ni Miranda ang bangisan ni Blaze at Hade

"It just popped up"

"Kung sino man ang papalit kay Dr. Enriquez I hope na kasing bait niya din"

"Sobrang bait ni dr. Enriquez at sobrang galing din so I know na he really deserve to be the chief"
Sabi ko naman

Totoo talaga na Dr. Enriquez is good and not just good he's excellent. Lahat kami dito hanga sa kanya, no wonder he's one of the hotshot doctors here

"Yes so true Ash"
Sagot ni Alezia

*pager beeps*

"Gotta prep for surgery"
Hade said at tumakbo na papuntang elevator

*pager beeps*

"Me too, mauna na ako guys"
Saad ni Miranda at sinundan na si Hade papuntang elevator

"I'll go too guys, I have some labs to run"
Alezia said

I look at my watch and check the time. It's already 2:30 pm and I have patients to check

"Yeah, me too I'll go check my pre op patients"

" I'm going to check also some patients"
Blaze said

Another day of being fully booked, hayss....

And after that we parted ways

Fast forward

"Good afternoon Ms. Torres how are you feeling?"

"Sobrang okay na okay po doc"

"I'm glad to hear that, uh I'll just gonna check your vitals and so far.. you're doing great"

The patient smiled at me and looked at her mom with a very happy face and so as her mom na parang maiiyak na

"Doc maitanong ko lang po, kailan po ang anak ko makakalabas dito?"

"Usually sa mga pasyente same as her case, mga 3-10 days after surgery sila na d-discharge but maganda naman ang response ng katawan ng anak niyo po at pag magpatuloy ito, she will be discharged in no time"

"Salamat po doc"

I nodded and left the room

"Oh, dr. Reyes"
Tawag ko kay doc nang makita ko siya

"Dr. Diaz"
She said and then walked towards me

"Checking the patient?"

"Uh yes doc, kakatapos ko lang siya i check and she's doing good, her vitals are stable, her body is responding and recovering fast"

"Well that's great, hindi siya matatagalan ng stay dito if magpapatuloy ang ganyan na sitwasyon"

"She's really doing her best, gusto niya na talagang gumaling"

"So as you Dr. Diaz, you're doing your best and I like it, keep doing your assignments"
She smiled and left

"It seems like dr. Reyes likes you, minsan lang siya ganyan and you are lucky"
Nova said, she's the head nurse

Nasa nurse desk kasi ako para ibalik ang chart ng pasyente

"Am I? *chuckles* I think so"
I said while handing her the patient's chart

"Can I see the chart of room 2044?"

"Coming right up"

Me and Nova are close, she became my second mother here

"Here you go"
She said and handed me the chart

"Thank you"
I left and headed toward room 2044

"Good day Mr. Cruz, kamusta po kayo"

"Maayos naman po doktora at mas magiging maayos pa bukas"
Masayang tugon ni Mr. Cruz

"Excited lang pa?"
Napabaling ang tingin namin sa anak niya na nagtanong

"Syempre naman anak, bukas gagaling na ang papa mo at mag c-celebrate na tayo ng birthday mo"

Aww.. Kaya naman pala excited tong si mr. Cruz eh

"Hindi ka natatakot papa?"

Nakikinig lang ako sa kanilang mag ama habang nagche-check ako sa pasyente

"Ako matatakot? Sus malakas kaya to"

Napatawa naman kami sa sinabi ni mr. Cruz na may pa aksyon-aksyon na parang nagpapakita pa ng mga muscles niya

"Promise mo yan pa ha? Kaya bilisan mong magpagaling mag b-birthday pa ako"

"Oo naman anak ko, ikaw pa ba?"

"Maputol ko lang ang usapan niyo po ha"

" Ay, opo naman doc , pasensya na andyan ka pa ho pala"

"Maganda ang sitwasyon niyo po at bukas 9:30 ang schedule ng surgery niyo"

"Mga ilang oras po ba doc magtatagal ang operasyon ni papa?"

"Mga 3-4 hours lang naman"

"Salamat po doc"

I left the room and stretched a bit

"Do I have labs to run?"
I handed the chart to the nurse

"Wala na po doc "

"Ehem..." *clears throat*

Napatingin ako sa likuran ko kung sino iyon

"O, Eliz?"

Eliz is Hade's sister. Ba't nandito to?

"You busy?"

"Medyo baki--"

"Perfect!"

Masiglang saad niya na ikinagulat ko naman

"I-I mean, haha s-sanaol"
Saad niya habang hilaw na ngumingiti

Tss. ano naman kailangan nito?

"What do you want?"
Walang gana kong tanong

Eh pano ba naman? Sisipot lang to kapag may kailangan eh

"Can you handle my labs"
Saad niya habang pilit na ngumingiti na ikina-kunot ng noo ko

Ako? I h-handle labs niya? Haha fellow ako intern siya tas ganito? Aba't tong batang to talaga

" I-I know that it's not appropriate to ask a fellow
to handle my labs since I'm a intern b-but I-I..."

"You what?"

*sigh*
"Ibibigay ko sana 'to kay kuya pero he's in surgery and nakita kita soo.... I-i approached you m-maybe pw-wede ka"

"Y-you know what, j-just nevermind"
Dugtong nito at tatalikod na sana

"Ano ba gagawin mo? Gaano ba yan ka importante?"

humarap ulit siya sa akin at sinagot ang tanong ko

" I'm scrubbing in a big surgery, As in BIG and SCARY! So i need to study but I can't because of labs"

"You're smart, you just need a minute to study . You don't need to give up your labs just to study unless...."

"It's the dragon's surgery"
"It's the dragon's surgery"

Sabay naming saad na ikinatawa ko ng malakas

" HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH WHAT? Y-you're scrubbing in with a dragon HAHAHAHAH"

Tawang- tawa ako sa kaniya habang siya ay di ma ipinta ang mukha

"That's why I need to give up my labs, I can't disappoint Dr. Del Mundo"

"O-okay okay HAHAHAH give me your labs"
Saad ko na ikinalaki ng mga mata niya

"TALAGA!? YAYYY THANK YOUUU TALAGA ATEE ASHH!!"

"You're welcome. So now go and study"

"May result na apo ate,kunin niyo nalang po sa lab. Thank you so much!! I love you agad. Amd sorry talaga no choice na eh, babawi ako pramis! bye!!"
Mabilis na saad ni Eliz habang unti-unting lumalayao sa akin with flying kiss pa

Batang to talaga

I went my way to the lab to get the results of Eliz's patients

"Excuse me, nandyan na ang results ng patients under Dr. Eliz?"
Tanong ko sa medical technologist

"Yes doc, just a moment po"

Pumunta siya sa shelf at kinuha ang isang malaking tambak na mga papeles

" Lahat ito? Sure ka na sa akin lahat ito?"

"Opo doc"

Ohmy... Napatingin nalang ako sa tambak-tambak na mga gawain ko. Jusko, parang ang tawa ko i-iiyak ko na ngayon. Mautak talaga !!!

Ba't andami naman nito?(╥﹏╥)

Instead na mag reklamo ako, binilisan ko nalang ang paglakad patungo sa room nga mga pasyente para mabawas-bawasan na ito

I stopped first at the nurse desk dahil hindi ko kaya ang mga dala ko dahil sa sobrang dami talaga nito

Ipinatong ko ang tambak-tambak na mga papeles

"Gulat ka no?"
Tanong ko sa nurse na nanlalaki ang mata dahil sa mga dala ko

"L-lahat yan doc?"

"Oo lahat yan at pwede ba na dito ko muna iwan ang iba? Babalikan ko lang"

I decided to divide my works dahil hindi ko kaya ang ganyang karaming results sa isang round lang

"Ah oo naman po"

"Salamat"

I walked to the room of the first patient

" Good day sir Galvez, I have the result of your lab test and you tested negative. It means wala po kayong cancer"

"Ohmy, darling did you hear that?"
Hindi makapaniwalang saad ni mr. Galvez sa kaniyang asawa

"Yes yes darling, I've heard that loud and clear"
Sabi ni mrs. Galvez at lumingon sa akin

"Thank you very much doc, salamat talaga"

I nodded and smiled at umalis na sa room nila at pumunta sa kabilang room

"Good afternoon ms. Ganion I have your lab results and the results are very good, wala kaming nakita sa result mo na dapat niyong ikabahala and you will be discharged in no time po"

"Thank you very much doc ash"
Her daughter said and hugged me

I smiled and left the room and binasa ko ang next na result kung kanino ba ito

Mrs. Devina De Leon

Mama to ni Miranda ah, she was admitted here? Wala namang nasabi si Miranda sa amin tungkol dito. Does she even now this?

I looked at the result and I was shocked. Her mother has stage II skin cancer?

I knocked at the door and Miranda's father opened it

"Ash, napadalaw ka"

Dahil palaging kaming lima ang magkakasama, naging close na din kami sa family ng bawat isa

"Tito, I am here po para sa result ng lab ni tita"

"The result is here?"

"Yes po and..."

"What's the result ash?"

I looked at tito's eyes and looked at tita

"The result says that... Tita has...... Stage II skin cancer"
Putol-putol na saad ko at yumuko nalang
Tito just sighed

"It's ok ash, we expected this result"
Tito said while tapping my shoulder

"I know that tita is a fighter, stage II palang po ito so we can fight this po"

"Thank you ash"

I just smiled and left the room at nakita ko si Miranda patungo dito

"Miranda"
She was shocked when she saw me in front of her mother's room

" You know? Well expected naman na malalaman mo una pa lang"

"No, ngayon ko lang nalaman"

"She has cancer right?"
Malungkot na tanong ni Miranda

"Yes, stage II"

She just sighed

"Why you didn't tell us"

"I was going to tell you, pero I don't know when"

Lumapit ako kay Miranda and I hugged her tight

" I understand, stage II palang yon Miranda and I know na alam mo na kayang kaya pa ito labanan"

"Yes, thank you very much Miranda"

"Now, after you go to your parents, tell them"

"Samahan mo ako"

"I really want to pero tambak yung mga gawain ko eh."

"I want to tell them kapag kompleto tayo"

"Okay *sigh* sa restau nalang namin, pwede tayong mag usap doon"

"I'm on call tonight "

"Okay, sa locker room nalang, sabay naman tayo palagi na pumupunta doon. Later kapag uuwi na tayo, I think that's the best time and place."

"Okay, thank you ash"

After that umalis na ako at tumungo sa nurse desk at kinuha ang natitirang mga gawain ko

Fast forward

For the past hours, I spent it roaming around at this big hospital and entering patients room to tell them their lab results. My body is tired beeing SQUEEZED by hugging everytime I tell a positive lab result.

Nakakapagod naman
I want to go to bed . Kagagawan to ni Eliz eh(╥﹏╥)

I checked the time and it's already 6:30 pm. I went to the locker and as expected present silang lahat

"Done working?"
Tanong ni Blaze at tumango lang ako kase ubos na talaga ang energy ko

Miranda looked at me and tumango lang ako sa kanya

"Guys"

"Yes?"
Sagot ni Alezia at lahat naman ay nakatitig lang kay Miranda

"My mother was admitted here and--"

"Why, ano nagyare kay tita?"
Tanong ni Hade

"When was she admitted?"
Tanong naman ni Blaze

" Kamusta si tita? Anong room niya?"
Tanong din ni Alezia

"Okay guys, isa-isa lang mahina kalaban. *deep breath* My m-mom... she has stage II skin cancer"

"What!?"
Sabay na ani ng tatlo at yumuko lang si Miranda

Lumapit kaming lahat sa kanya at niyakap siya

"We are here Miranda, we are here always"
Alezia said to ease Miranda's pain.

Kumalas na kami sa pagkakayakap kay Miranda

"Dadalaw kami bukas sa kaniya, what's her room no.?"
Tanong ni Hade

"Room 2063"
Saad ko

" You knew?"
Tanong sa akin ni Blaze

Tumango ako bilang sagot

"Ako ang nag handle ng lab ni Eliz kase she asked me to do it...."
I paused and looked at Hade

"Teka lang, Si eliz? Bakit mo tinanggap?"

"Surgery with dragon, kaya yun tinanggap ko. Okay back to the topic, so yun na nga, isa 'don sa mga result ay yung kay tita kaya ngayon ko lang din nalaman..."

"So now alam na ng lahat, let's all help Miranda and Her family lalo na si tita"

Lahat ay sumang-ayon sa sinabi ko at pagkatapos namin mag usap, bumalik na kami sa kaniya-kaniyang mga gawain

~~~~

I am now heading home after a big and exhausting day. Haysssss... Sobrang dami ng mga nalaman at nangyari ngayong araw.

I parked my car at papasok na sana ako sa bahay ng biglang bumukas ang pinto at bumungad ang mukha ng isang lalaki
