Aunt Lou asked the young resident doctor, Dr. Kanishk to help me with my plan to see Grandma. I had one earplug attached to my right ear that I just hope they wouldn’t notice. I was afraid that this would make some impact on my plans to see grandma. “You’ll be fine. Just relax.” Aunt Lou promptly told me as though she had sensed the nervousness I was having since this plan had be raised by her. It wasn’t that I was actually blaming my aunt for this, however, I was really hopeful that there could have been another way.But with the circumstance being too complicated, it was too impossible for me to really accomplish wanting to see grandma up close without going through the conflict of facing my in-laws.“We’ve already the surveillance and it would appear that neither of your mother-in-law or your damn husband is inside. It would seem that they really left things with an unfamiliar woman. I really haven’t met her before.” Aunt Lou informed me of the details and I was sure she was refe
Tears has fallen into my eyes the instant I saw her in that state. My head shook in disbelief as I covered half my face with my two palms clasped together.“Come closer and have a better look,” Dr. Kanishk went closer to me again as she escorted me towards grandma.I suppose she sensed that I don’t have the courage to come closer. It felt like each step I take drawing myself near to were Grandma was, just simply squeeze my chest and caused me to become pressured and unable to breathe fairly.Perhaps it was because I really didn’t want to see grandma in this state which was why, I mean who would want someone to see their loved ones being in this state when you know that their lives were seemingly dependent on the machine.“Dr. Kanishk, is my grandma fully depending on the machine now?” I said fully forgetting that I was not allowed to talk and just act like a nurse.However, Dr. Kanishk simply answered, “No not really. Based on her chart, she was ordered to have this tube to assist her
Terrified.That was exactly what I felt at the moment.I couldn’t even make a single sound as his other hand covered my entire mouth. Even the freedom to move was deprived of me since his free hand had both my hands held above my head.I was still pinned against the cold walls of the dark suite room and I could barely make out his face. The strong scent of his masculine perfume intoxicates me, making me understand how close his face was against me,“Who sent you?” He snarled, and I felt him press his mouth beside my ear as he continued, “Who dared to summon you to your death?” he whispered above his breath while doing it against my left cheek.I knew it was a mistake that I freely entered this suite room without even asking if it’s even occupied. However, I was exactly at the point of moment where I don’t even have that much time to do that.The possibility of getting caught by my mother-in-law was giving me the chills. I didn’t want us to get caught because not only I would be in tro
“That’s why I am asking for your consideration since I can’t lift you up.” I told him, while trying to contain the annoyance I have for him.Yet, despite in his dizzy state, I just couldn’t believe that he was still capable of making me feel annoyed at him. “Hey nurse, I don’t know if it was only because I was feeling dizzy but you know, I actually find you attractive or maybe it was the melatonin.” he eventually said that caused my temple to crease.“Melatonin?” I asked as I remember that that was like a sleeping pill or something.“Yeah. I asked that so that I could sleep but you broke my sleep, nurse. Good job.” Now he even blame me for his deprived sleep. Although I quite feel guilty about it since I entered his suite room without any permission. Of course, he has all the rights to blame me.“Sor—” I was about to ask for an apology when I realize that I was still disguised as nurse. Of course I couldn’t possibly apologize for entering his suite. It would only be natural for me t
My hand rapidly flew outward which I believe must have been my reflexes as soon as I struggled to get away from him. There was an awkward sound of our lips parting after I successfully distanced my face from his.“You’re sick! Why did you do that?” I instantly yelled at him, completely forgetting the fact that my mother-in-law could possibly hear me from this point.I just couldn’t simply let this pass. He was a complete stranger who just randomly kissed me. I could easily file a case against him for harassing me.“You appeared like you wanted to taste my lips. I may be in delirium but I have a good sense you were staring at them for damn good seconds I barely even count how long.” He even teased which rapidly infuriated me that I felt I had to distance myself away from him at a much further space.“I didn’t ask for you to kiss me, you damn idiot!” I retort back, refusing to accept his claim that I want him to kiss me. There wasn’t even any truth to his claim that I was staring at his
There was a silence on his part after I said those things that somehow made me confirm that he agrees with me. And so, before he could even change his mind, I promptly made a quick move to grab the roll of the gauze and quickly roll it several times around his waist.“You try to be gentle, now is not the right time to be rough on me, woman.” he said, his voice deep with a contained pain. It made me quickly stop for a moment though, simply after hearing him address me as a woman instead of the nurse he used to tease me earlier. I suppose he really had gotten serious this time.“What made you stop? Go and finish quickly, it’s painful. Damn it!” He cursed and that was the final cue that made all my hunches right. “You were in pain all this time and you try to contain it and refuse to tell me.” I told him. “Why bother? You’re not a real nurse anyway,” He retorted back, his grumpy behavior was no longer bothering me for some reason. It was like the mere fact that I was able to successfu
I was not able to finish hearing out what the man’s name as I hurriedly stood to get near Dr, Kanishk. She was still staring at me with a bit of perplexed look on her face as though she must have misinterpreted what I was doing with the patient.Meanwhile, the patient suddenly made a comment that caused me and Dr. Kanishk divert our attention on him, “Now you even have an accomplice huh?” despite his condition, he even began to chuckle as though he found the situation ridiculous.If only I could tell him the truth so that he would finally stop from bugging me about why I was even disguising as a nurse in the first place, however, I believe it wasn’t something I should feel obligated telling him anyway.Afterall, he was still a stranger I shouldn’t concern myself anymore.Eventually, I decided to ignore him and turn my gaze back to Dr. Kanishk. “Let’s go?” I urged her to finally get me out of the suite room. She simply nods and lead the way first. And just as I was about to head out,
I suppose this was the effect of what I did earlier. While I was inside the other suite room where that patient who had a fatal wound on his waist, caused me to lift him up to his bed. “What happened to you child, huh? Did they hurt you? Tell me?” Aunt Lou was once again sounding so paranoid as she was so worried about what happened to me.“I don’t know.” I pretended that I was iunaware what truly happened. It made me suddenly bewildered why am I even trying to hide the truth from my aunt. Maybe because I didn’t want her to worry that I helped that matured man at the adjacent suite room.“Come inside the lab, we need to make sure the baby is fine.” Aunt lou insisted and I know that there was no way that I could even try to stop my aunt. Well, at least I have someone to worry about the child inside me other I, myself, alone.*****[WILMA MONTEFALCO’S POV]“You know how much of a hectic day it is at the office today and you really still want me to start working the divorce papers for y
