Brittany Paris Donovan always had it all. A thriving career, supportive parents, a brother who spoils her, and friends that she can always lean on. She has everything she wants and needs... except for one.

I patiently waited outside the tent until they set everything up completely. I was the first one to enter the tent. I immediately claimed one of the tables mine. Sa gitna ang kinuha kong pwesto. Mas maganda kasi dito dahil tapat ito ng dalawang electric fan at tiyak na hindi ako maiinitan sa pwestong 'to.
Wise diba?
On top of the table were medical prescription papers, syringe, tourniquets, test tubes, and so on. Sunod naman na tiningnan ko ay ang loob ng drawer. Nandoon ang stethoscope, thermometer, the blood pressure apparatus and a lot of things that will definitely help me in checking some of the patients.
I sat up straight nang pumasok na sila Margaux sa loob ng tent. Her eyes immediately found mine at agad rin namang kinuha ang table sa tabi ko.
"Did you really wait outside until everything is set up?"
Tumango ako. She laughed amusedly.
"The soldiers who set this up probably thinks I'm weird. They keep on giving me weird glances. Nagtataka siguro kung kailan ko balak umalis." I rolled my eyes. Umiling nalang siya at naupo na sa kanyang pwesto.
Ethan claimed the table beside Margaux and next to me was Rico. Tracy and Erin are now fixing something, nagreready na para sa pagdating ng mga tao.
Mamaya maya pa ay pumasok na ang mga sundalo na dala-dala ang mga vest jackets namin na may logo ng aming hospital. Ibinaling ko ang tingin ko sa mga pumasok. Jaxon is in front of the soldiers, halatang Captain ang datingan. While the other soldiers are behind him, carrying the same thing that he's holding.
Iisa lang ang hawak niya at panigurado akong kay Margaux niya ibibigay 'yun. I mean sino pa ba ang pagbibigyan niya nun diba?
Hindi ko ibinaling ang tingin ko sa nasa gilid niya. I'm sure it's his brother. Ganoon naman lagi sa tuwing papasok sila. Mauuna si Jaxon at sa tabi niya ay ang kapatid niya.
Mas ibinaling ko nalang ang tingin ko kay Axel na inaayos ang mga hawak niyang vest sa kanyang kamay. Kung patatayuin man kami para kumuha ng vest, kay Axel ako pupunta. Though Jaxon's brother is also carrying a lot of vest jackets, ayoko nga sakanya!
Kung sila naman mismo ang magbibigay sa amin, sana si Axel ang mag-abot sa akin. Kahit na wala naman akong kasiguraduhan na si Kiel ang magbibigay, mas ayos na rin na humiling in advance. Malay mo naman diba...
"Today marks the first day of the Donovan General Hospital's medical mission here in Marawi. The people will arrive in ten minutes. We're going to distribute your vest jackets now. I hope you'll have a great day." Jaxon said with full authority ngunit nang matapos ay ngumiti rin naman siya ng tipid at agad na nagtungo sa kanyang asawa.
Yeah, I really hope I'll have a great day kahit na sinira na ng kapatid mo.
Unti-unti namang nagsikilos na ang mga sundalo. I focused my gaze on Axel and I waited for his next move. I prayed internally that he'll head towards my table and hand me my vest jacket. But of course, not all wishes come true.
