Rain of Nightmares (Medical Series #2)

"Thanks sa paghatid."

I gave him a small smile before bowing a little to show him my sincerity. Ganoon naman ako lage. Nakasanayan ko na yatang ibaba ang ulo ko kapag nagpapasalamat.

"No problem." He smiled back before driving away.

I just watched him from the steps of the entrance until I could no longer see his car. Pumasok nalang din ako sa loob dahil mag a-alas siyete na ng gabi. Pag naabutan pa ako ni Dr. Celis na naglalakwatsa rito sa labas na hindi suot ang coat ko, isang oras ng delubyo na naman ang aabutin ko.

Dumiretso ako sa locker para kunin ang coat ko. I exhaled a large amount of air as I stared at it for a couple of seconds.

This will be my last day wearing this. Starting tomorrow, I will start to see Dra. Salinas for a daily check up until I got better and I know that it will be no use if I keep on working, causing my demons to push the trigger button. And besides, my illness will just burden the hospital.

I'm not sure how I'm going to tell Ynna about this, and I guess I just won't. Hindi na rin naman ako babalik pa at ayokong magkaroon pa nang usap-usapan kung bakit ko piniling umalis. I'll just get my things in the lounge in the right time.

"Stephanie Louisse, saan ka galing?!" Halos mapatalon ako sa gulat nang marinig ko ang pagbukas ng pinto at pagsigaw ni Ynna.

Napatingin ako sa kaniya habang sinusuot ang coat ko. Hindi na ako nagbihis dahil ganito naman ang usual outfit ko rito. I prefer this kind of ootd than those jeans and stuffs. I don't know why, maybe just a trademark?

"Visiting a friend." I gave him a small smile. She's not buying it.

"Weh? Mutual friend niyo ba 'yan ni Cy?" Sumingkit ang mata niya kaya mas lalo siyang nagmumukhang koreana.

Napaiwas tuloy ako ng tingin, napatikom sa bibig lalo na't muntik pa akong maubo. Hindi ko naman kasi 'yon in-expect na lumabas sa bibig niya. Malay ko ba kung nakita niya akong ibaba ni Cy sa may entrance o ano.

"Defensive ng mukha mo." Komento pa niya, halatang inaasar ako.

Ynna never changed. Siguro kung gaano siya ka gaga magsalita, ganoon din ka seryoso 'yong kakambal niya. Palagi ko kasing naririnig sa mga doctors na madalas nilang makita dati 'yong Ayen at hindi raw mahilig makipag-usap.

Well, speaking of her. I am curious if she's the girl Cy told me that he loves? I mean, It's not that I'm interested to mind in his business pero narinig ko naman kasi si Ynna na inaasar si Cy. Alagang friendzone raw.

And besides, they keep on saying that I look like that her. Even her mother told me that and I don't even know why.

Ah depota. Bakit ko ba 'to iniisip? Ano bang pakialam ko?

"Sana all, spacing out. Iniisip mo si Cy?" Tama nga talaga ang hinala ko. Demonyo talaga 'tong si Ynna. Tamang patawa-tawa lang ang gaga. 'Yung sungay at buntot nalang kulang.

"Umalis ka. Nagdidilim paningin ko sa'yo." I tried to threaten her but still end up laughing because of her make faces.

"Change topic." Umayos siya ng tayo, hindi pa rin umaalis sa pintuan. "May team dinner ngayon, ano g?"

Kaagad akong umiling. I'm not in the right mood to have fun with them. It's CJ's birthday and I just don't want the day to pass with me spending my happy moments with other people.

It's unfair for him.

"You really changed." She sighed, pouting her lips a little.
