Before the accident

Cleo

"I won't be too attached to my students anymore, being too close to people in just a short period of time? It will hurt them especially when the time comes that I won't be there when they need me the most." As I said those words, I finished my coffee and stood up. I need to get home.

I don't wanna talk to him anymore, If we'll talk any longer I won't be able to hold unto my words. Marupok si ako letse.

I just realized na hindi ko kaya eh, nako naman. I see pain in his eyes, sinasaktan ko na naman siya. Ano bang dapat kong gawin?

"Iyan ang dahilan kung bakit kayo nasasaktan at ayaw na ayaw ko kayong nasasaktan, kaya't ako na lamang ang gagawa ng paraan."
Naglakad na ako papalabas, hindi naman niya ako sinundan. Mabuti naman.

Sheems, umuulan pala. Agad akong naglakad papunta sa kotse ko at pumasok na.

Hihintayin ko muna si Leo, walang maghahatid sa kanya.

Nakita kong papalabas na si Leo sa pinto ng shop, tulala siyang naglalakad at mabagal ang kanyang paglalakad.

Bigla namamg tumunog ang aking cellphone.

[Cleo, where are you????! Lolo's in the hospital!]

Biglang bumilis ang paghinga ko, fuck! Lolo is in the hospital! I need to get there!

I can't drive fast because the road is slippery! I can't afford to get into accident right now! My grandfather needs me..

Dahil one way lang ang daan dito ay kailangan ko pang dumiretso at lumikho para marating ang kalye.

Sa wakas at nasa daan na ako, kailangan ko ng magmadali, sa pagmamaneho ko ay nakita ko si Leo na parang nahimasmasan na ngunit papatawid na siya ng tumigil sa paglalakad.

Shit! What is he doing?!

*PPEEEEPP*

I saw a car whose driving fast, I assumed that the break of the car is broken. Shit! Leo is in danger!

What should I do??

Malapit lang naman ako ngunit may mga kotse sa harapan ko at papunta na ito sa kinaroroonan ni Leo.

Hindi ko na kayang humabol at hilain siya!

I step on the gas at nilampasan ang dalawang kotse, ng makita kong malapit na ito ay binangga ko ang kotse.

What the fuck am I doing?

*CRRRASSHH*

...

Zen

Asaan na ba si Cleo? Hinahanap na siya ni lolo. Ugh, ang babaeng yon talaga. Tsk.

Lolo came home minutes ago and when he started climbing up the stairs he fainted.

Agad naman namin siyang dinala sa Evergreen Hospital, pag-aari ni Dos.
It's been 20 minutes and there's still no sign of Cleo, I starting to get worried, she should be here 10 minutes after I called her, of course she won't just let her Grandfather in a hospital.

"Where's Cleo?" Paghahanap ulit ni Lolo, nagtinginan naman kami nila Uno.

"She's coming, Lo." I said, well she's coming right? Tinawagan ko na naman siya kanina eh.

*cellphone rings*

It was Dos' phone.

"It's Dr. Ramirez, I should answer this." Agad namang tumango si Lolo at lumabas na sa kwarto si Dos.

Dos

"Dr. Everdeen, speaking." I said as I answered the phone.

[Dr. E-everdeen..] ba't ba to nauutal? Don't tell me hindi na naman niya natapos ang report niya?

"Straight to the point, Dr. Ramirez." I said, ayaw ko ng paligoy-ligoy.

[Cleoxandra Kershaw is in the Emergency Room.]

Fuck! Anong nangyari?!

Lolo's room is in the 4th floor and the Emergency room is in the 1st floor, I need to get there fast!

I entered the elevator and clicked the 1st floor button.

Seriously, Cleo? What happened to you this time?

*ting*

I immediately ran towards the Emergency Room, as I was about to enter, I saw one of her student.

If I am not mistaken, he's Leo. We already studied the files she gave us the other day, we don't want to get killed next time.

What is he doing here?
He looked so frustrated. Is it his fault?
Damn, Cleo. Always thinking about her students.

Mamaya ko na lang siya aasikasuhin, for now I need to get to Cleo.
Pumasok na ako sa Emergency Room at hinanap si Cleo, nakita ko ang isang pasyente na nakahiga sa kama. Gising ito.

"Dr. Everdeen, Ms. Kershaw is already awake and she's refusing to have her injected a Propofol. We need to take care of her arm, she got it broken and she really needs to calm down." Napangiwi naman ako sa sinabi ni Ramirez. "She got involved in a Car Accident."

A car accident? Seriously? This is the first time she got into a car accident. Kaskasero iyon ngunit maingat pa rin

Nakita ko si Cleo na naka-upo at sinamaan ng tingin ang mga limang nurse.

"Ms. you need to calm down. Hindi naman namin kayo sasaktan." Saad ng isang nurse.

"This won't hurt a bit, kailangan naming gamutin ang braso mo." Dagdag naman ng isang Nurse.

"I said fuck off! If you'll treat my arm then treat it while I'm awake!"
Tsk, ang tapang talaga nitong babaeng ito. Walang sinasanto, pati ba naman mga nurses ko?

"Shut the fuck up, Cleo. You're making your arm worse than it is." I stated as I rolled my eyes.

I looked at her arms and ugh, we need to have it X-ray, immediately. Propofol? Oh, they'll put her to sleep because she's so stubborn yet they're having trouble because she's putting up a fight.

"If it isn't Doctor Everdeen." She rolled her eyes too, fuck anong meron sa mga mata namin.

"Your nurses and doctors here are pains in the ass, I told them to let me go and took care of the other patient but they keep on insisting to treat me, and I already told many times I'm okay!" Agad ko namang sinenyasan ang mga Nurses na okay na at pwede na silang umalis.

"You're not okay, Cleo. Your Ulna is broken and we should go to the X-ray Lab." Agad naman siyang humiga sa higaan ng pabagsak.

"Ouuchiee!" Tsk. Tingnan mo nga ito, parang hindi naalsidente.

Pinakuha ko ng wheelchair ang isang nurse. Maayos na naman ang itsura ni Cleo, may sugat sa noo, tinahi na nila.

May sugat din sa paa. All in all marami talaga siyang sugat.
So far ang nakabanggaan niya ay gasgas lang naman.

Ng dumating na ang wheel chair ay inalalayan ko siyang umupo.

"Oh I forgot, Leo is outside." I said, agad naman siyang tumingin sa akin at sinamaan ng tingin.

"Why didn't you tell me? Get me the strecher, hihiga ako doon." What the fuck is she planning?
