“STARING on my breasts is not a proper behavior from a doctor, Sir.”

Muli akong napatingin sa mga mata ni Natalia. “I’m sorry. I’m not staring at those. I’m staring at your tattoo.”

“Maganda po ba? You can touch it, Doc.”

Napakunot ako ng noo ko.

“Just kidding, Doc. I’ll go now.” Tumalikod na siya at tuluyan nang lumabas.

I leaned down on my desk and started to ponder things. Posibleng si Natalia ‘yon dahil sa tattoo. I somehow saw that tattoo once and I’m sure na doon ‘yon sa babae sa stag party. I shut my eyes closed and tried to remember every details that happened that night.

I was drunk dahil sa punch with drugs which was I thought was an iced tea. And then I remembered I was dancing. What the fish? Kailan pa ko sumayaw? Mukha siguro akong siraulo ng gabing iyon at baka nga naging center of attraction pa ko.

Center of attraction...

I was right. Naalala kong napakaraming nakalibot sa’kin noon dahil lumapit sa’kin ‘yong isa sa mga babae. Mas lalo kong pinilit na alalahanin ang physical features ng babae. Paputol-putol ang mga imahe sa utak ko, pero napagtutugma-tugma ko ito.

The girl is wearing a mask; her hair is long and wavy. Out of nowhere ay na-picture out ko sa utak ko ang scenario kung saan nakahiga ako sa kama. I’m all spread out, wearing nothing.

And there was a girl standing near the edge of the bed. She put away her mask and—

♫Saw you walk into the room Thought I'd try to talk to you Babe am I ever glad you wanted me to~

I opened my eyes as soon as I heard my cellphone ringing. If the ringtone is When I’m With You by Faber Drive, si Dianne ang tumatawag for sure. I set this as the rightone for her dahil ito ang theme song naming dalawa.

I answered the call. “Yes, Honey?”

“Honey, anong oras ka makakauwi?”

“I’m already done with my duty, Honey. May hinihintay na lang ako. Why?”

“Hardy told me na he wants a new pair of slippers para sa pagpunta natin sa Batanggas on holiday. Hindi na raw kasi kasya ‘yong slippers na ginagamit niya, eh. Can you buy one?”

“Sure, Honey, I will. Anything else I need to buy?”

“Wala na, Honey. Thank you!”

“Thank you. I’ll hang up now. I love you.”

“I love you too.”

I’m the first one who hang up dahil siguradong magiging cause pa ng little quarrel namin ang pagdedesisyon kung sino ang unang magbababa ng cellphone. It may sounds cute but I’m not in the mood.

Inayos ko na ang gamit ko para makauwi na rin. Pagkarating ni Natalia at binalitaan ako sa napag-usapan nila ni Dr. Gray ay umalis na rin ako.

PGKARATING ko ng bahay ay sinalubong agad ako ni Hardy at sinuot ang slippers na dala ko. Tuwang-tuwa ang bata dahil kasyang-kasya sa kanya ito. Then he said thank you to me. Kaya gustong-gusto ko siyang nireregaluhan o pinapasalubungan, he never forgets to say thank you. Napakabait na bata. Sana ma-maintain niya ‘yan hanggang sa paglaki niya.

And not only that, of course binilhan ko rin ng set of pink and lacy socks si Arianne at binilhan ko rin ng bagong hairnet si Dianne para bago ang susuotin niya sa trabaho next year. And lastly, binilhan ko ng pagkain ang mga kasambahay namin.
