Anatomy of the Heart | Vicerylle

17. Unfortunate

Matapos ang ilang buwan na pag hahanda para sa kanilang residency exam, naging successful naman silang nagsi-pasa except for one. Si Terrence. 

Isang buwan na ring nag t-trabaho as permanent residents sa hospital ang mga dating interns. Dr Romeo, was given another shot by the chief kaya naman kahit hiyang hiya sya sa mga dating kasamahan na may kanya kanya ng mga cases ay confident pa rin sya sa pag t-trabaho.

"Karylle, siguro naman mas mabait ka kay Anne, hindi mo naman ako pag a-analyse ng mga labs all day diba?" tanong ni Terrence with a hint kay Karylle dahil he was put to work under her for the week

Karylle turned her head to look at him briefly bago ibinato sa direksyon nito yung mga folders na hawak nya.

"It's your lucky day...I've got a big case to do this afternoon." sabi ni Karylle at ngumiti kay Terrence. Terrence opened up the folder hoping na information about the case yung makikita nya. He was wrong.

"Ano to?" he asked.

Karylle faked a smile, "I want you to do my rounds for me, and then pag natapos ka na dun, analyse these results for me. I need them by the end of today." utos ni Karylle bago nag walk away from Terrence.

"You're kidding, right?"

"I don't kid around, Dr Romeo." seryosong sagot ni Karylle with her back still turned to Terrence.

"Maging single ka sana forever." sabi ni Terrence na lalong na bad mood.

As Karylle was walking down the corridor, nakasalubong naman sya ni Anne who tried to talk to her, pero Karylle just glanced at Anne bago ito nagpatuloy sa paglalakad.

"Hey K." sabi ni Anne na humabol kay Karylle.

"I'm busy." she said and offered a smile to Anne at binilisan ang paglalakad.

"Do you want to go with us tonight? We're doing a late celebration sana for passing the--"

"Anne, I'm busy." she said and faked another smile, "Next time na lang siguro." she said before going in her office.

Anne sighed at napailing ng ulo. Ever since kasi nung funeral ni Vice ay hindi na rin nila nakakasama si Karylle. She's a bit better than before dahil kahit papano ay nakakausap naman nya ito ng matino. Although hindi na nya ito masyado nakakasama dahil Karylle has practically been living in the hospital and has been overworking herself to death. Ever since passing her residency, nag focus na sya on doing general and cardiothoracics surgery, kaya naman doble kayod talaga ang pag a-aral at pag t-trabaho nya. Kahit na ilang warnings na ang nakukuha ni Karylle from her friends and family, hindi naman ito nakikinig.

"Karylle?" sabi ni Karen na matapos kumatok ay pumasok sa office ni Karylle.

"Dr Tuazon?" Karylle gave her a nod at sinara yung file na binabasa nya.

"I heard you need an assistant for your big bowel surgery later."

"Ah... Yes, Dr Tuazon, do you have anyone in mind?"

Karen pointed at herself and grabbed the file that Karylle was reading, "I'll give you a hand." sabi ni Karen, "Eto ba yung pasyente?" tanong ni Karen at binasa yung case.

Tumango si Karylle kahit na gulat sya sa offer ni Karen.

"Why are you doing this?" tanong ni Karylle.

"May nag bilin kasi sa'kin dati na bantayan daw kita." sabi ni Karen at ngumiti kay Karylle.

"Oh..." Karylle looked down dahil bigla namang tumahimik si Karen.
