"Curtis, fancy meeting you here." sabi ni Terrence ng lapitan sya ni Anne na may dalang files at sa likod nya kasunod ang isa pang doctor.

"Shut your face, Romeo." sagot naman ni Anne bago i-shove yung files na hawak nya kay Terrence.

"Ano to?" tanong ni Terrence at hinarap sa kanya yung mga files na binigay ni Anne.

"Dr Navarro," sabi nung doctor na nag a-approach kina Terrence.

"Dr Pascual, long time no see." sabi naman nung doctor na kasama ni Anne. She tilted her head at pinanood yung interaction sa harap nila ni Terrence ngayon.

"Oo nga eh, Vhong, kagagaling ko lang kasi sa bakasyon." sabi ni Dr Pascual at nakipag hand shake kay Dr Navarro.

"Are we taking a neuro case, Dr Pascual?" Tanong ni Terrence habang binabasa yung nasa file.

"No, kami ang nandito to take your neuro case." sagot ni Anne.

"Ano?! No way."

"You've read the file, Dr Navarro, what do you think?" Tanong ni Dr Pascual na niyaya ang tatlo na maglakad para mapunta sa room nung bata.

"Hindi naman rare tong case na 'to, Dr Pascual, pero kakailanganin ko pa ng mas updated at mas precise na scan para ma-identify kung saan talaga yung tumor nung bata. At syempre kung kumalat pa yung tumor sa ibang parte sa katawan nya." sabi ni Dr Navarro.

"So, his name is Gabby, 8 years old, and he likes trains." sabi ni Dr Pascual while looking at the boy na naglalaro sa may kama nito kasama ang mga magulang din nito.

"Aww he's a cutie." sabi ni Anne while watching through the glass window nung room.

"Dr Curtis-Smith and Dr Romeo, iiwan namin kayo to get the scans. Once the scans are ready, get them to me and Dr Navarro. Also present us with your ideas of how you'd treat Gabby, kung sino man ang maka isip ng best idea will get to scrub in with me and Dr Navarro."

Dr Navarro smiled to agree, "Goodluck."

"Magandang tanghali, Dr Viceral, I'll be assisting you with your surgery today." sabi ng isa pang surgeon na kadarating lang sa operating room.

"Well, nice to see na ten minutes late ka lang this time, Dr Medina... However, there's really no need for your presence here." sabi ni Vice na nakangiti fakely while letting the nurse tie his scrub gown from the back. Another nurse was doing the same naman din for Karylle na nakatingin lang sa dalawang surgeons na mukhang magkaka initan sa harap nya ngayon.

"Anong ibig mong sabihin, Dr Viceral?" Tanong nito at napasulyap kay Karylle.

"Dr Tatlonghari will be assisting me this afternoon, goodbye now." sabi ni Vice na lumaki lalo ang ngiti nung makita ang inis na itsura ni Dr Medina.

"What the hell does this intern know? Anong nangyayari dito? First day pa lang nya tapos mag a-assist na sya sa surgery mo? Kalokohan, Dr Viceral!"

Tumalikod ulit si Vice para tingnan si Dr. Medina. This time mas firm ang titig nya dito na mas pinahalata ang peke nitong ngiti.

"Narinig mo naman ako diba, Alex? I said, Dr Tatlonghari will be assisting me and I don't need you. Don't ever tell me what to do, Dr Medina. You're forgetting na senior mo pa rin ako. Good bye."

Binigyan naman na pikon na tingin ni Dr Medina si Karylle bago nag storm off ng operating room. Vice then turned to Karylle who was stunned after what happened at binigyan ito ng maliit na ngiti.

"Ready ka na?"

"Dr Viceral, sigurado ba kayo dito? Baka naman mapahamak kayo for letting me do this."
