Love at First Touch

Chapter Thirty Three

"GOOD morning, chief!" Napapikit ako sa naging bati ni Juliana.

One week since Vyn started as our chief surgeon. Itinatak ko sa isip na hindi na kami dapat mag usap. Hindi ko siya iniiwasan ayaw ko lang magkaroon ng conversation with him.

"Good morning, nurse Jul."

"I'll get back to work," Paalam ko naman sa kaibigan. Nilagpasan ko si Vyn na dama kong nakatitig sa akin.

Tapos ay dumeretso na ako sa aking station ngayon. Mabuti na lang talaga at hindi ako na assign sa kaniya. Sana ay magpatuloy dahil kung hindi ay tiyak na makakasama ko siya palagi at ayoko na mangyari iyon.

"Doctor Yñarez, our head surgeon is looking for you. He asked me to told you to meet him at his office." Doc. Gilbert approaches me.

"Right now, doc?" I asked. Busy rin kasi ako na mag check ng mga pasyente.

"Yup! I will be the one to do your remaining work so don't worry." He smiled.

Hindi ko iyon magantihan ng ngiti. I give him the names of my patients that has to be checked and made my way to meet my head surgeon.

My

Noon.

Ipinasok ko ang kamay sa mga bulsa ng aking coat. Pagkarating ko kumatok lang ako at pinihit ang pinto. Naabutan ko naman siyang nakaupo sa kaniyang swivel chair habang busy sa mga papers na binabasa n'ya.

Tumikhin ako upang kunin ang kaniyang atensyon. Hindi naman ako nabigo dahil mabilis na umangat ang kaniyang ulo upang tingnan ako.

"You're here." His cold voice sent shivers to my whole body. It was like we came back to the times that we were still together.  "Please sit down, doc Yñarez."

Hindi kaagad ako tumugon sa sinabi n'ya kaya naman nang tingnan niya ako at nakakunot na ang noo, saka lang ako umupo.

He's still that very impatient man.

"Pinapa—" I suddenly stop when I remember that we were in his office and we are in Canada so it should be English. "I was informed that you asked for me, sir. Do you need anything?"

"You're graduating from your second year of residency next week, right?" I nodded. How did he know that?

"I've read your informations here." He told me like he knew what's running on my mind. Pinakita niya pa sa akin ang folder na binabasa and it's really my profile that was here.

My brows furrowed. "And why do you have that, sir?"

I don't want to sound rude but I really want to know.

"I'm just reading all informations of all the people working under my supervisions." He said. "Well, going back to what I am saying. . . You'll know start working under my supervision."

"What?!" I exclaimed.

"Why? Do you have problem with that, doc?" He lazily glanced at me.

Napipi ako di kaagad nakasagot. I wanted to tell yes  but no words came from my mouth. It was like I lost all the letters that I know.

"Based on what's written here, you're one of the best resident doctor here  and as much as I can, if you want, I can teach you all the things that I know habang nag aaral pa. At the same time, I can guide you." He explained.

I bit my lower lip. I've watched Vyn's past surgeries when we were still together. Humingi lang ako ng kopya kay Ms. Lyla because she was the one to showed us the surgery her favorite students did. And aminin ko man sa hindi, Vyn is really good. The way his hands move while doing surgeries, makikita mo talagang he's very passionate sa ginagawa n'ya.

Iyon nga lang, he had to stop.

"What do you think?"

"It's fine sir." Sabi ko naman. "But I am still under Dr. Smith's supervision."

Tumingin siya sa akin kaya natahimik ako lalo.  Nagsalubong ang aming mga mata kaya ako na ang unang nagbawi. Hindi ko kinakaya ang intensidad ng kaniyang mga tingin.

"He already knows about the switching. And don't worry doc, you'll train with the other 4th year residents here. It just you have the exception because it just surprised me that you're already assisting surgeries even if you're still just a second year." His lips twitch upward. He sounded so proud.

It warmed my heart.

It somehow gives heartwarming feeling hearing that from him.

Somehow, doon lang ako mabunutan ng tinik sa lalamunan. Kasi akala ko naman ako lang ang magwowork under n'ya. That would be awkward.

"Are we goods now, doc Yñarez?" He confirmed.

Having a second thought, I nodded. "Yes, sir."

His deep blue eyes stared at me for a moment. "Alright. That's all I need. You may now leave."

Now, he's back to his cold and intimidating aura.

Hindi ako sumunod, instead, I stared at him for a moment. From his thick eyelashes and eyebrows that nearly meets each other. His blue eyes that once always  looking at me. And how that eyes stare at me lovingly before. But now it's full of emptiness and coldness. Then his pointed noise who loves smelling my natural scent whenever we cuddle. And his luscious lips that kisses mine whenever we want. This lips that promise me that he will never leave me. And those lips that promised me that he will always come whenever I need him, but only disappointed me. And failed me, not only once but a lot of times.

"Do you still need something?"

Why does it feels empty by just looking at him? Bakit ang sakit namang makita yung taong minsang naging mundo mo pero ngayon mukhang wala ka na sa kaniya?

"Doc Yñarez!"

Napapitlag ako at napabalik sa katinuan noong magsalita siya bi quickly stood up. "No, sir. I'm sorry. I'll leave now."

I rapidly made my way to the door but before I could open it, I heard his question that earned a ridiculous look from me.

"Do you know me, Ms. Yñarez? Or perhaps, have we met before?"
