PATRICIA’S POV

“Congratulations to your new clinic!”

Jess’s voice echoed throughout the clinic who was just at the entrance. Tyrone was with her holding a flower.

“Lessen your voice,” saway ko.

Mabuti at kakaalis lang ng huli kong pasyente.

I stand up and stretch a bit. Marami ako’ng bagong pasyente kanina at ngayong hapon lang ako natapos.

“For you, Pat. Congrats for the new success,” Tyrone handed me the flowers.

Umismid ako. “Salamat pero…kahapon pa ang opening nitong clinic ko,”

Natigilan silang dalawa.

They weren’t here at the opening yesterday. Kahit sa celebration ay hindi sila pumunta.

“Uh, ano kasi…” Jess look hesitated. “We picked up someone at the airport yesterday so we couldn't go,”

“So, that person might be so important than my opening yesterday,” I said in a jealous tone but I’m not really, I just want to teased them.

Lumapit ako sa table ko at inilapag ang flowers. Hinubad ko ang puting coat at isinabit sa swivel chair. I’m now wearing gray shirt and jeans.
