Chapter 1
I was about to leave the hospital when someone suddenly called my name. I stopped walking. "Aura, bestfriend!" Shout of a woman's voice that I know who I know. Yenny. "Hmm?" I slowly turned my back. I wondered for a while because it was a smile. Smile is crazy. It's very weirdo now I told myself. I was about to speak again when it suddenly handed me a gift.
"Huh? What's that for?" I'm surprised because it's not my birthday and there's no important occasion today in my memory. It barely laughed at what I said. Did I say something funny? "What are you! You left that in your locker. I'll take the one you ordered earlier for a patient. It fell right when I opened it. I thought you just forgot to take it so I chased you." He pointed to the gift. "Huh?" To my surprise. I gave him I don't know what you're saying look. He seemed to understand what I meant.
"You mean you didn't put that or just left it there? Or you didn't really receive a gift from anyone?" He also asked in surprise and frowned. I nodded because I really didn’t know. I didn't have that before when I took my things. We both looked at the gift I was holding. "See if there's a card !." His suggestion. I first put down my belongings on the chair near us and slowly opened the gift.
It's still wrapped inside so we still don't know what it's inside. "There's the card oh!" Kelly picked it up and handed it to me. I quickly picked it up and read it. I was suddenly depressed by what I read and did not realize that I had let go of the card I was holding. I also felt the warmth of the corners of my eyes. Kelly picked it up and read it aloud ...

"I'll be back. Wait for me." - Miguel
SOFIA
"Mom!" I called my Mom who was happily cooking my mother -in -law's breakfast. I hugged from behind it and kissed his cheek. I've really been like this to him ever since I was a kid. My baby is soothing again." He laughed teasingly while shaking. " Mom, ! Is it bad to be tender to you ? Besides, I'm not a baby anymore ! " I said pretending to growl and extended my snout. Strength is really pissed off anytime. Mom turned to me and pinched mine delicately with chubby cheeks. " Ouch ! Mom, again ! The pain ! " I cried out loud. He just laughed at me and pinched my nose softly. She faced the stove again. "Oh hey, go ahead. Sit there and I'll finish cooking." I quickly followed him and pulled up a chair. I was going to get the dishes and other utensils but I saw that Mom was already on the table. Our happy family breakfast was over. Mom and Mary only the rest of my family. Dad died of a heart attack when Mary was a baby. I have an older brother case who also lost his life when he was fifteen years old because he was involved in a frat war. Those who killed him were caught but they could not bring my brother back to life. Our youngest Mary has down syndrome. But even if this is what happened to us, even if other people say that what happened to my family was unfortunate, we never blamed or questioned God because I knew there was a reason for it all.
" Sofia." I stopped to think when Mom suddenly called my name. I turned to her and frowned. " What is it ? " She playfully rolled her eyes at me. " Why, you're young ! You'll reflect on that later and you'll be late ! " He said pointing at the clock in the kitchen. I suddenly realized what he said and quickly grabbed my bag. My thoughts flew too far. I’m almost overwhelmed with haste. What is that, Sofia ! " All right. ' Mom! I'm leaving."
I quickly kissed them Mom as well as my sister Mary on their cheek. " Bye, baby girl ! My sister and I will see you later, huh? I love you." Smiling I said to Mary. He smiled back and said I love you too. " Be careful, Sis." Mom's reminder before I can get out the door of our house. I walked over to the tricycle ride on the corner outside our area. It's a bit far if I walk. But it's okay if you want and you're not in a hurry. Large vehicles are not allowed here because the road is congested. It's true that I have contemporaries. As we walked out of our place I couldn't help but look at my cheap watch that I bought at a night market. Seven thirty already. I only have less than an hour to travel. The hospital where I work is still a little far away and there is a bit of traffic on the road at this time because of rush hour. I'm fed up with it again .
I breathed a sigh of relief when I arrived at the hospital five minutes before eight thirty. I did a running walk to get in right away because if I was late I would only be paid half a day. I was surprised there. "I'm, tired." I complained to Yenny who is currently applying lipstick in our locker area. I let out a deep sigh. " What happen to you sis ? " He asked with a frown as he continued to beautify. You thought it was a ramp somewhere.
I shook. " No, no. I just thought I'd be late." I opened my locker and neatly placed my belongings there. It laughed softly. " Are you still late ? Don't be me, huh." Because this woman really laughed at me. I then looked at him badly. "Come on, Kelly Jones." She gave me a smirk. "Just a joke ! You're too serious ! " I just rolled my eyes in response. The real strength of this woman's suit. I really don't know how I became her best friend. I thought you run away mentally e. "Maybe our patients here thought you dipped your snout in the atchuete. It's like crazy." I raised an eyebrow at him and frowned. The many abilities of the body. Kelly just gave me a glare. " hmmm... No worries, sis. It's forbidden to break each other's trips." I laughed and folded my arms as I looked at him. " Hmm .. Just pretend. If I know you'll just make Doc Craig a cute later." I smiled angrily. Because he typed that doctor. He's also really handsome and smart
It looked back at me and smiled foolishly. It was very obvious because he crushed the young doctor. Well, there are a lot of crushes out there except for me because he's not my type. " Well you know. So maybe we'll be best friends, come on!" She winked at me. I closed my locker. " You're really crazy ! Maybe you didn't take your medicine again because you're worse. Oh, he. I'll be ahead of you and I'll check on the patients. Let's just meet this lunch break." " All right, Doc Sofia ! " His promise was like a child.
I exited the locker area and headed to a nurse station on the third floor. This is not a social hospital where I work. It is public but well managed and facilities somehow. Doctors are also good here. Many people who are financially deprived are treated at this hospital. I prefer to work like this first even though the salary is a bit low because given that we are also in the province and not in the city. It is in this province that I grew up and worked. But don't be surprised why we speak Tagalog. We don't have any dialect. Many also use the English language here because this place is modern. Manila is not that far from here either.
Yes, I prefer to give my family a good life in case it's really different when you work like this. The experience is different. I want to have the experience of working in a public hospital before I graduate from college. But I also knew that one day I would be able to work in a famous hospital. Here or abroad. It was also one of my dreams in life. I am a registered nurse so I believe that someone like me will be accepted. So that’s why I’m trying to graduate. I used to be a working student to finance my studies. I don't want to rely on my parents for those.
