Medical Series:
#1: At the Rooftop (Completed)
"Come back when the nightmare keeps appearing again."
Tumango ako kay Dra. Salinas at nag bow para magpasalamat bago lumabas sa office niya. Diretso lang ang lakad ko papunta sa exit ng hospital dahil sa kaba at takot na makita ng mga kasama kong residents.
I decided to quit being a doctor and just become a webtoon artist instead. It's not that I'm afraid of failure o dahil wala kaming sapat na pera para ipagpatuloy ang pangarap ko. I am excellent at my field, I can assure that.
It's just that.. something happened that I can't bear my guilt when I get to see myself wearing a doctor's gown. My mind is not at ease when I get to encounter patients in the ER suffering from a bullet with a lot of blood in their body.
I can't bear to repeat the same mistake again. I can't even look at the patients for a long time without thinking about that night and whenever I get to see it, I can still feel the shivers and cold the rain gave me--along with a heartache.
"Depota." I murmured under my breath when it starts raining.
I hate it. I hate its sound, its splash, the cold it gives me--everything. It makes me shiver in guilt and pain. It makes me remember the biggest mistake I ever made in my whole existence.
For the other people, it may sound relaxing but for me, it's a stress. My eyes seemed to felt awake when I get to hear it. The peacefulness in me automatically fades. I can't even sleep knowing that it's raining.
Rain is like a curse. A torture for me.
"Fuck!" I screamed in the top of my lungs when a loud thunder came.
Sinubukan kong hanapin sa dala kong sling bag ang isang folding umbrella dahil nababasa na ang suot kong white and blue stripe casual dress ending just right below my knee. Pati 'yong suot kong white sneakers ay nagsisimula na ring mabasa ng tubig.
"Shit!" Galit akong napamura nang wala akong mahanap sa bag lalo na't nababasa na ang buhok kong abot hanggang balikat.
Padabog kong binunot ang tali ko sa kamay at pinusod nalang ang buhok ko. Uuwi akong basang sisiw ngayon dahil ayoko namang manghiram ng payong sa loob ng hospital.
"Pakyu." Itinaas ko ang middle finger ko sa kawalan, galit na galit na dahil sa ulan.
"Gago!" Napasigaw ulit ako dahil ginantihan ako ng isang napakalakas na kulog.
Napaupo nalang ako sa gilid ng kalsada dahil sa inis, hindi na inaalintana kong nababasa ako ng ulan at tinitingnan noong guard malapit sa front desk ng ER.
Sa isang iglap, bigla na naman akong naiyak. Palakas na nang palakas ang pag-ulan kaya paunti-unti ko na namang naaalala ang nangyari.
"Tama na please." I really sound hopeless already. Para akong sinasaksak sa puso ng ilang beses dahil sa mga naiisip ko.
"Hey, are you okay?"
Napaangat ang tingin ko sa lalaking naka navy blue dress shirt at black slacks. May dala siyang payong at medyo inangat niya ito sa direksyon ko.
"Who are you?" Napakunot ang noo ko habang tinititigan siya.
I can see his every feature since it's still 5 PM. His formed lips, black eyes, pointed nose, and even his fixed thick eyebrows. They all look like his.
"I'm CJ." Pagpapakilala niya, iniabot ang isang kamay sa akin habang nakahawak pa rin sa payong ang kabila.
Cj?
"Your savior."
