MATCHA POV

"Pelargoniums?" Namumukhaan ata ni Mojito ang bulaklak na bitbit ng sekretarya.

"Ang unang hinala ko ay may-ari ng isang greenhouse ang sender nito." Sabi ng Doctor.

"Nagpapadala din ang sender ng bulalak?" Takang tanong ni Peanut.

"Yes. The same person has been sending these as well, but the flowers only comes once in a year, on today, April 27th. This is the second time."

"When is your son's birthday?" Tanong ni Forest.

"Alexis birthday is in September." 

"Then it's not for your son's birthday, either." Sabi ni Forest.

"If it's okay with you, why we don't look at your patients records?" Suggestion ko sa Doctor.

"But, we're not allowed to disclosed any information about our patients records." Nag-aalangang sabi nito.

"But you're the director, right? Can't we bend some rules just this once?" Suggestion ni Mojito. Loko talaga ang lalaking ito.

Napabuntong hininga naman ang doctor. "Very well. I guess I have no choice. Follow me." Nauna na itong lumabas.

"Mojito, good job!" Binigyan ko ito ng dalawang thumbs up. Kinindatan naman ako nito kaso binatukan siya ni Forest.

"Ouch, men." Kamot nito sa ulo.

Bumalik kami sa receiving area ng doctor at nag-intay ng ilang minuto. Pinakuha muna kasi ng doctor ang mga patient records nito.

"These are all my patients records for the past 2 years, feel free to take a look. May tatawagan lang ako saglit." At umalis na ang Doctor.

"What we're gonna do with this, Matcha?" Peanut asked.

"There might be a patient who has something to do with April 27th. Let's start." Sabi ko sa mga kasama ko.

"Medyo madami dami ito ahh.. buti na lang nag-almusal tayo kanina." Mojito said.

"Checked it thoroughly. Don't miss anything." Forest warned us.

We're checking everything for almost 1 hour and we couldn't find anything. This is so frustrating.

"May nahanap ba kayo na mga naging pasyente ni Doc.?" Tanong ko sa kanila.

"There's a few. Here." Binigay naman ni Peanut sakin ang listahan.

Most of them have successful operations that day. May iba na kakareleased lang at may iba naman na kakachecked in lang.

Jennifer Carlos
Ryan Garcia
Shane Ocampo
......

And the list keep on filling until I stumbled upon a named Jonathan Florez.

"This Jonathan Florez.. he's familiar with me. Saan ko ba nabasa ito?" Nag-aabang naman sila sa susunod kong sasabihin. Think matcha. Think. Minulat ko ang mga mata ko. Right.

"I remembered it! Sa game boy! Doon ko nabasa ang name na ito. Asan ang Patients records nito?" Nagmamadali naman si Peanut na binigay sakin ang record.

He's Jonathan Florez. 6 years old. He dies after Doc. Abrenica operated on him. He died last year on April 27th! Naalala ko ang sulat na pinadala sa Doctor. Napatayo ako ng marealized ang lahat!

"MOJITO! Bring Doctor Abrenica, now!" Nataranta naman ito at agad na tumakbo papalabas.

"Why!!" Gulat naman na tanong ni Peanut.

"Who was it?" Tanong ni Forest.

Kinakabahan ako, syet! Nagpabalik-balik ako sa nilalakaran ko habang iniintay na makabalik si Mojito.
