Anatomy of the Heart | Vicerylle

5: Flirting 101

"Karylle, how's your day?!" sabi ni Anne na tinabihan si Karylle sa table nito sa may cafeteria. She dropped her tray on the table at nagsimulang mag pick sa salad nya.

Sasagot na sana si Karylle ng biglang may nag baba ulit ng food tray sa may table nila, pareho namang nagulat ang dalawang babae nung nakita kung sino ito.

"Terrence, what are you doing?" tanong ni Anne with a frown.

"I'm eating my lunch." sagot ni Terrence at nag simulang lamunin ang sandwich nito, totally ignoring Anne and Karylle's uninviting looks.

"Why here?"

"I'm getting the idea na ayaw nyo sa'kin..." sabi ni Terrence habang puno pa ang bibig nito.

"Di naman sa ganon, ito talaga nag a-assume." sarcastic na sagot ni Anne bago nag turn ulit kay Karylle.

Napa-smirk naman si Terrence sa direksyon ni Anne bago subtle na nakinig sa usapan ng dalawa.

"Kamusta ang araw mo, te?" tanong ni Anne ulit.

"Uhm... Okay lang." matipid na sagot ni Karylle with a small smile.

"Anong okay lang? I want details, te! How's Dr Viceral?!" excited na tanong ni Anne na ni-nudge pa si Karylle to hear more.

"He's good, we're good." matipid ulit na sagot ni Karylle at napainom ng juice nya. She turned to Anne, "Let's talk about you. How's your day going?!"

"Bakit mo iniiba ang topic?" curious na tanong ni Anne at binigyan ng meaningful smile si Karylle.

"Siguro na-inlove na yan kay Dr Viceral." sabi ni Terrence at binigyan ng ngiting nang iinis si Karylle.

Namula naman bigla si Karylle kaya napainom ulit sya ng juice. She looked away from Terrence, while Anne frowned at their co-intern again.

"I'm just saying... I heard the nurses gossiping at how gifted his hands are... And I don't think they meant that in a surgical way."

"Oh?" sabi ni Anne na binigyan ng meaningful smile ulit si Karylle.

"Stop! Walang ganung nangyari, okay? He's a great doctor, he's a great mentor too. He's letting me scrub in with him mamaya sa surgery nya."

"Who's scrubbing in later? What? Why? How?" another newcomer.

"Esguerra." sabi ni Terrence na naparoll eyes nung umupo ito sa table nila.

"What's up, guys?" tanong ni Tommy.

"Karylle's scrubbing in sa surgery ni Dr Viceral! Wow girl, that's big! Don't tell Dr Abad though."

"Yeah, she'll probably cockblock you and Dr Viceral." sabi naman ng isa pang newcomer, si Paulo.

"Avelino." sabi ni Terrence at binaba yung paa nya sa upuan na hinatak ni Paulo.

"Dr Heussaff is nice to look at, pero I'd rather look at bones or jump her bones, than stand around." sabi ni Paulo na halatang naiinggit sa narinig nyang balita.

"Dr Navarro wouldn't let me do anything either. I heard he's really swabe pero ang tahimik nya kanina... Maybe bad mood." kwento ni Anne sabay kain ng carrot stick.

The four carried on talking while Karylle tried to say as less as possible. She didn't want to talk her day with Dr Viceral dahil if she did, mas lalaki ang chance na may mahahalata ang apat sa kanila ni Vice.

Matapos ang twenty minutes ay nag paalam na si Karylle sa mga kasama dahil Vice wanted to meet her before they go in sa kanilang surgery. Tommy was quick to stop her dahil gusto nitong sumabay kay Karylle since pareho naman sila ng floor na pupuntahan.
