Cold breeze gentlely embrace her while sipping her tea in her secret hide out a.ka. the roof top. Blue skies, chirping birds, and car noises are Joohyun's background as she type a text message to her confidante, Doctor Jongdae Kim.Her college senior who became her best friend during her senior year while the said doctor is still studying in med school. Joohyun wet her parched lips before sending the text message.
Joohyun: Gusto ko na mag resign. Hindi na ako masaya sa ginagawa ko. Everyday I ask myself, hanggang dito na lang ba ako? This is not the life I imagined 5 years ago.
Five years ago, Joohyun was a dreamer. She dreamed to be a doctor who will save lives and help patients to have a better life but Joohyun did not become a doctor. Joohyun became an assistant for a consultant. A couple of mistakes and unforeseen circumstances brought her where is right now. Life is not a bed of rose for the Cum Laude graduate.
Dr. Kim-IM: ?
Joohyun's eyes went widen when she read the message. She bit her lips as she immediately write a reply.
Joohyun: THIS IS NOT FOR YOU.
Joohyun: I'M SORRY
Joohyun: Doc Kim, disregard my previous message. Please don't tell your dad.
Bakit ba ang daming Kim sa mundo, she wondered. Napa-hilamos na lang siya sa mukha dahil sa nangyari. Siguradong tatawanan siya nang malakas ni Jongdae pag nalaman ang pag kakamali niya. Mapag-laro talaga ang tadhana at sa anak pa ng boss niya na-send ang rant of the day niya.
Dr. Kim-IM: Okay
Joohyun: Okay.
Dr. Kim-IM: Just to make sure, papasok ka bukas?
Jooohyun: Yes, doc.
Hindi niya alam ang gagawin niya pag nakita sya nito sa clinic ng boss niya o maka-salubong sa hallway ng ospital Inubos niya ang tsaa baka umalis sa roof top garden ng ospital.
Tama nga siya. Humahagalpak sa tawa si Jongdae nang makwento siya. Gusto niyang tahiin ang bibig ng kaibigan nang maitigil ito sa katatawa dahil pinag-titinginan na sila sa canteen ng ospital.
"'Wag kang sumimangot diyan baka isipin nila pinag-titripan kita." Jongdae said while he is trying to stop laughing. "I'm sure he will not fire you. Doc Junmyeon is not the kind of person to tattle or mind other's business."
"Sana nga." She nods hopefully. Kahit naman na hindi siya masaya sa ginagawa niya kailangan niya ang trabaho niya.
"Ritual mo na ata talaga ang pag-plano mo mag-resign evey 3 months." Jongdae jokingly said. "Malay mo mag sumbong si Junmyeon sa tatay niya, edi natupad na ang gusto mo."
Hinampas niya ang braso nang kaibigan sabay irap. "Bad joke."
"Alam mo naman kailangan ko rin ng trabaho and this is the job that is nearest to my dream." She said nonchalantly but Jongdae smiles sadly. He knows her hardship and dreams. Sometimes he wonders why God is unfair to her. More than anyone else, Joohyun deserves to be a doctor. She has the intellectual abilities and passion to treat people but fate played Joohyun's life.
