Kirt's POV
I was sulking in my bed yesterday. They went to tour Sydney, Australia and they decided not to bring me dahil may lagnat ako ng konte. But it was just a little pero ang o-OA nila.
But, Akiro promise me na dadalhin niya ako ulit sa mga pupuntahan nilang tourist spots kahapon. I was touched when he said he won't come if I don't come, but if Direk Mela plus Manager Lim says the opposite? No for him. Kaya sasamahan niya nalang daw ako sa susunod.
Unfair. Yun ang paulit-ulit na sinasabi ko kahapon ng buong araw and because I really do have a fever ay tinulog ko nalang.
And now, I'm fine now and I'm going back to the hospital and meet with Dr. Everson. Well, apart of me wanted to meet those hot doctors again.
Hot doctors. Hmm. I hope they're not bisexual.
And yesterday too, I was checking my phone's gallery. Tama nga ang hula ko. I didn't capture a better shot of that hot guy I saw driving a speed boat. That guy was so hot and I don't know but the first person flashed into my mind was Dr. Montesor.
Speaking of, still, I remembered that he called me Eunice and still it confused me. How does he know my second name? And the funny thing is, I don't know why I fainted.
Wala naman akong memories na naalala. His name was just like an ear sore to me. Dewlon...Dewlon. I think I heard that before but I just can't remember.
Nang makarating ako sa hospital ay agad akong tumungo sa opisina ni Dr. Everson. This will be my second day. If only I didn't faint, third day ko na siguro ngayon.
I'm now in front of Dr. Everson's office door. I knocked first and then slowly opened the door. Sumilip muna ako and then there he is in his chair.
He smiled at me, "Good morning, Ms. Salvador!" he greeted.
I smiled, "Good morning, Dr. Everson..." I greeted too and walk towards him.
"Please, just Everson." he said and signal me to sit down.
I chuckled and nodded, "Sure...Everson." I said and then we chuckled.
He gripped his two hands together on his table and looked at me. "The chairman had a change of heart yesterday..." he said.
Kumunot ang noo ko. "The chairman told me, that there will be a new doctor to teach you and you'll meet him here in any minute..." dugtong niya.
My eyes widen a bit. Well, it's not like it's okay but Dr. Ev--I mean Everson is good to me.
"W-why?" tanong ko.
His lips twitched, "Don't worry, he's a good doctor and to be honest he's the most popular doctor here at the hospital so you must be honored," biro niya at ngumisi.
Napaawang ang bibig ko. Anong sabi niya? OMG! No way? Sobrang nakakahiya naman kung 'yung pinakasikat na doctor pa ang magtuturo sakin.
Gwapo din kaya siya? Oh wait. Maybe he's too old. Tsss..
"Well, it really is an honor..." sabi ko at ngumiti.
Tumingin si Everson sa likod ko. His smile widen, "He's here!" sabi ni Everson kaya napalingon din ako.
Nanlaki ang mata ko ng makita kung sino ang nasa pintuan. Nakahilig siya sa gilid ng pintuan at nakahalukipkip.
Nakasuot siya ng puting coat ng mga doctor. Lumalabas ang panloob niyang isang emerald green na polo kung kaya't nagdepina ang kaputian niya.
His eyes are intently looking at me like I did something wrong or something like I did something that he would like to discover.
What the fuck? Wag niyang sabihing hindi parin siya naniniwala na wala akong thingy kay Everson! Ugh!
Teka? Kaya ba magpapalit sila dahil sobrang possessive niya kay Everson? What the hell!? Sobrang sayang talaga siya! Hay! Ano bang pinagsasabi ko!?
Tuloyan siyang pumasok habang ako literal na nalaglag ang panga. Umupo siya sa kabilang upuan na katabi ko.
Seryoso ang mukha niya at di man lang nakangiti. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ba kuryusong kuryuso ako sa lalakeng to.
Marami nakong nakilalang gwapong bakla and I really understand them pero dito sa lalakeng to...all I feel is...super sayang. Damn!
"You two know each other already and I believe that you two can understand a lot more..." sabi ni Everson at tumingin kay Dr. Montesor.
Dr. Dewlon Montesor a.k.a Gwapong Bakla.
Well, maybe, I'll prove it to him na wala akong thingy kay Everson and pretend that I have Akiro so he won't look at me very intense.
May feeling kasi ako na kapag malapit siya para akong kinakabahan. I don't know this feeling but it's too different.
Hinatid kami ni Everson sa operation room. Maraming operation room sa hospital at ito ngayon ang bakante.
Nakita ko kaagad ang iba't-ibang equipment sa isang lamesa. May mga nurse na nariyan, but their not really nurses, mga katulad ko din sila, except their just extras, of course.
Napag-isip isip ko. Kung iiwan kami mamaya ni Everson. Ano kaya ang mangyayari? Hindi ko alam kung anong dapat kong maramdaman.
It's like iniwan niya ako sa crush ko at hindi ko alam kung anong topic ang sasabihin ko para may mapag-usapan kami. Except, hindi ko siya crush kaya it's weird to think that way.
"So, I got to go now and leave you two here!" paalam ni Everson.
Oh no!
"W-wait!" pigil ko pero nakaalis na siya.
"May sasabihin ka pa ba sa kaniya?" tanong ng isang baritonong boses.
Dr. Montesor speaking tagalog. The hell! Why does it make him hotter and that means SUPER SOBRANG SAYANG!
"Ah. W-wala." nauutal na sagot ko at lumapit na sa puting coat na naroon sa isang lamesa at surgical gloves.
Hindi ko alam kung anong nangyayari sakin pero di talaga ako makapag-focus. Damn!
Lumapit si Dr. Montesor sa mga lamesang may mga tools kumbaga sa pag-oopera.
"These are the surgical instruments used in general surgeries. Cutting , grasping, haemostatic forceps, retractors, clamps and for implants..." dire-diretsyong sabi niya habang tinuturo ang mga 'yon.
Tango lang ako ng tango sa mga sinasabi niya tapos yung mukha niya. Shit! Ba't kasi sobrang ganda lang ng panga niya habang nagsasalita?
"Are you still with me?" biglang tanong niya.
Napaawang ang bibig ko pero agad akong tumango.
"O-oo. Ah, ano nga 'yung gamit dito?" tanong ko sabay turo sa kung anong pwedeng ituro.
Kumunot ang noo niya and his lips pursed like his stoping himself to smirk.
"It's a retractor. It's a surgical instrument which surgeon separate the edges of the surgical incision," sagot niya at humalukipkip na humarap sakin.
Tumango ako sa kaniya at sinubukan ngumiti pero masyado akong kinakabahan dahil ang lapit niya na sakin.
"Yan ang huling sinabi ko bago kita tanungin. Are you even participating of what I'm saying here?" mariin na tanong niya.
Bahagya akong nagulat sa sinabi niya. What the hell?
"I-im sorry..." pabulong na sabi ko.
Damn. Bakit ang suplado naman ng isang to? Ok. Ok, I know now. Still, he's thinking that I have a thing with Everson that's why he's like this. Tss...
"May iniisip lang kasi ako..." sagot ko.
Pero...pero paano niya nalaman ang second name ko?
"Then, I want you not to think of it." supladong sabi niya at tinalikuran ako.
Napapikit ako ng mariin. Okay. Tama na ang pantasya sa gwapong yan, Kirt. Suplado slash Mataray siya.
Bumuntong hininga ako at humalukipkip. "Why don't you answer what I am thinking?" tanong ko sa kaniya.
Lumingon siya sakin ng nakakunot ang noo, "Are you thinking of me, Miss Salvador?" tanong niya and I can sense his conceitedness in his tone.
Nagulat ako sa itinanong niya. I didn't know that something like him that I don't know kung bakla ba siya ay magiging ganito ka intense at mayabang.
"No, I'm not." mabilis na sagot ko at umiwas ng tingin.
Guilty ako dahil totoong iniisip ko siya. How intense his eyes are. How mysterious he is to me!
And how does he know my second name?
"No, I think not. Tell me what you're thinking Miss Salvador..."
Tumingin ako mg seryoso sa kaniya, "Paano mo nalaman ang second name ko, Dr. Montesor?" tanong ko sa kaniya ng diretsyo.
He was taken aback from what I've said. But then, bumalik din sa normal ang mukha niya like he wasn't surprise from what I've asked.
"I have your papers in this hospital, Miss Courtney Eunice Salvador a.k.a Sydney." sagot niya, a matter of factly.
Kumunot ang noo ko, "What papers?" I asked.
"You fainted here, I was your doctor. And yes, I know about your memory loss..." sagot niya and this time mahinahon na ang boses na parang dinadahan-dahan niya ang pagsasalita.
"Teka? You called my name BEFORE I fainted. Nagsisinungaling kaba?" tanong ko sa kaniya.
Huh! Do you think I'm stupid?
Naiintriga lang kasi ako. He called me Eunice. His name was like an ear sore nung una kong narinig 'yun and the funny thing is, kahit paulit-ulit 'kong sinasambit ang pangalan niya, hindi na sumasakit ang ulo ko.
Kaya pakiramdam ko dahil sa amoy lang ng hospital kaya ako nahilo. Mga naamoy 'kong dugo at pinaghalong iba't-ibang gamot, idagdag mo pa na airconditioned lahat.
He smirked, "What's your point of asking me this?" tanong niya at ayan na nanaman ang matigas niyang boses.
Humalukipkip siya. "Masama ba? It's my name and I'm curious that's all." sagot ko ng mariin.
Nakipagtitigan siya sakin kaya naman bigla akong nakaramdam ng pagkailang kaya ako na ang unang nag-iwas ng tingin.
"It's not hard to find out. If you don't want me to call you that, then maybe flat pig will be better," sagot niya.
Napaawang ang bibig ko. What the fuck? Anong sabi niya!? Flatpig?
"D-did you just said flat pig? Me? Bulag kaba?" asik ko.
Tumaas ang kilay niya, "Why? Wala pa bang nakapagsabi sayong flatpig ka?" tanong niya ng seryoso.
Nanlaki muli ang mata ko. The hell with him! He's so unbelievable! Now, I am positively sure who he really is. At ang mas lalong nakapagdagdag ng inis ko ay ang mata niyang mukhang masaya pa sa sinabi niya sakin.
Isa siyang BAKLA na insecure sa akin! At isang stalker narin dahil mukhang niresearch niya talaga ako.
Hindi ako makakapayag na ganituhin ako ng isang katulad niya. Ugh!
"Wala pa! At ikaw palang!" singhal ko.
"Hey, you guys, okay?" tanong ng isang blonde na babae na hula ko'y isang totoong nurse dito.
"We're fine," sagot ni Dr. Montesor sabay tingin sa wristwatch niya.
"You sure of that, Doc? Do you want me to call Dr. Everso--"
"Yes! Call, Everson!" sagot ko sa nurse at saka pinanlisikan ng mata si Dr. Montesor.
Kumunot ang kaniyang noo, "Why are you acting like this to me, Miss Salvador? I am your teacher here not just someone!" he hissed.
Natigilan ako sa sinabi niya, "Ikaw! Why are you insulting me?" tanong ko sa kaniya.
"I'm not insulting you, Miss Flatpig." sabi niya. "Just stating the fact," dugtong niya.
Nanlaki ang mata ko, "You're not insulting me, ha, really?" sarkastikong tanong ko.
Bumuntong hininga siya, "Didn't know your this hot-tempered now..." bulong niya.
I didn't hear it clearly so I gotta asked for it again, "You know what, let's take a break..." pikon na sabi ko at kukunin na sana ang mga gamit ko sa lamesa ng hawakan niya ang kamay ko.
Tinignan ko siya ng masama, "What!?" I spatted.
Bumuntong hininga siya and looked at me with a tired looked, "Sorry..." he whispered.
Napakurap ako sa sinabi niya. His voice is so sincere and I hate it. His eyes were tired and sad.
"Sorry for everything..." he said again sincerely.
My heart was beating so fast and I don't know why. The way he said those words is like he really meant it. Like he have done something to me long ago.
Tumango ako, "Okay..." sagot ko at binitiwan ang bag ko.
"Let me help you, Miss Salvador. I was the doctor who checked you when you fainted. So, I know your story..." sabi niya.
Nagulat ako sa sinabi niya. "R-really?" tanong ko.
Tumango siya, "And I was wondering if we can talk about your condition later after this?" tanong niya.
What the hell is happening? Parang kanina lang ay ininsulto niya ako tapos ngayon he wanted to help me.
"Can I ask you something? Are you bipolar or what?" tanong ko sa kaniya ng seryoso. Well, I need to know.
Kumunot ang noo niya and then he bites his lips, "Now you're insulting me..." sabi niya at humilig sa lamesa and he chuckled.
Saglit akong napatulala sa mahinang pagtawa niya. My god! It was like! It was like I saw something rare! He should smile often.
Napakagat labi ako. Still, I'm confused about his gender. Kanina I was positive na bakla siya pero ngayon...bigla nalang nagbago.
"So, coffee? After this?" tanong niya ulit. Is it me or his eyes just twinkled.
I was about to say yes when we heard a voice.
"What did I miss?" isang boses ng babae na galing sa pintuan.
Sabay naming nilingon ang pintuan kung saan nakatayo ang isang babaeng brown na brown ang buhok. She's tall and has fair skin.
Matangkad siya at ang pulang dress niya ay niyayakap ang buong katawan niya kaya't mas lalong nagdepina ang hubog ng kaniyang katawan.
She's sexy, but I'm sexier! And I don't know why Dr. Montesor can't see that!
"Ylena?" patanong na sabi ni Dr. Montesor.
Bigla akong napaatras ng lumakad 'yung Ylena palapit samin. Hmmm. Is she his girlfriend? So, he's not gay? Well, fair enough.
Biglang pumasok sa pintuan si Everson. Dr. Montesor was staring at him deadly. Nagkibit balikat lang si Everson at nagngiting aso.
"How r'you?, Dewlon?" tanong ni Ylena kay Dr. Montesor sabay tingin sa akin.
"Who is she?" dugtong niyang tanong.
"He's fine and she's Sydney Salvador, Ylena. She's a celebrity in the Philippines and Dewlon is in charged of her, so let's go!" sagot ni Everson.
Bumaling si Ylena kay Everson at pinandilatan ng mata, "DEWLON. How are you?" tanong niya ulit kay Dr. Montesor emphasizing his name and not Everson.
Natahimik si Everson. Hmmm? Ano to? Ba't tiklop dito si Everson? Sino ba dito ang boyfriend?
"Everson is right, Ylena. I'm fine..." pagod na sagot n Dr. Montesor.
Napatanag ang mukha ni Ylena at saka tumango pagkatapos ngumiti ng malapad, "Then, good! Are you free later? Coffee with me at the grill?" tanong nito kay Dr. Montesor.
Tatalikod na sana ako ng makitang nalatingin si Dr. Montesor sakin. I was taken aback by his eyes. His eyes were like talking to me like it was saying something.
"No, I'm sorry, Ylena. I can't. I'm with Miss Salvador later..." sagot niya.
Nag-iwas ako ng tingin. What the hell was that? Why the hell do I have to feel good that he's ditching her because of me?
But, maybe it means something. Maybe, he's ditching her because she doesn't like her because he likes Everson. Omygod!
"Am I right, Miss Salvador?" tanong niya ulit kaya napatingin na ako sa kanila.
Ylena was looking at me up and down and then she looked at me seriously like she's waiting for me to answer.
"Ah...it's okay. I have a dinner with someone after this so it's okay..." sagot at ngumiti.
Biglang lumiwanag ang mukha ni Ylena at ngumiti ng malapad. "So, I'll wait for you there! Bye!" sabi ni Ylena at saka nagmartsya paalis.
Napatingin ako kay Dr. Montesor. He looked very disappointed.
"I'll come right?" biglang tanong ni Everson na naiwan.
Napapikit ng mariin si Dr. Montesor at saka tumingin sakin. "Can't you ditch that dinner?" mariing tanong niya.
Wala naman talaga akong dinner with someone, pero alam ko susunduin ako ni Akiro ngayon.
Hindi naman kasi buong araw ang lesson namin, eh. Just five hours.
Tsyaka, if I know ayaw niya lang na makasama 'yung babae dahil baka pagselosan ni Everson. Gusto pa ngang sumama ni Everson diba?
Tumunog bigla ang cellphone ko. I have received a text from Akiro. Nang mabasa ko 'yun ay humarap ako kay Dr. Montesor.
"Well, you know, I can't cause he's down there already waiting for me..." sagot ko at ngumiti.
Bahagya siyang nagulat sa sinagot ko. Nagkibit balikat ako, "Sorry, maybe tomorrow..." dugtong ko.
"So, where did we stop?" tanong ko at bumalik sa lamesa kung saan naroon ang mga surgical instruments.
Napahawak ako sa dibdib ko habang nakatalikod kay Dr. Montesor. Hindi ko talaga maipaliwanag kung bakit ganito nalang ka bilis ang tibok ng puso ko.
Kung bakit kapag nagtatama ang mata namin ay nanghihina ako. The way he talked mesmerized me. His baritone voice send shiver down my spine.
I don't know about this doctor, but I guess I could handle these weird feelings until this session lasts.
