Dr. Alarick’s Dirty Little Secret

Episode 3: Check-up

Napalunok ako habang nakatitig sa kanya. He lends his hands for me to shake pero hindi pa rin mawala ang tingin ko sa kanya. He smirks at nabalik ako sa realidad. Nakakahiya ka August, nagpahalata kapa talaga.

I grabbed his hand and shook it. My body shivers at the touch, he makes me feel things I do not understand. Nakakatakot. He is exactly the man of my dreams. Older, manly, and a very intelligent man. Hiniwalay ko ang kamay ko and I stood up. Kahit matangkad ako, taga dibdib pa rin ako sa kanya. He’s a very tall man.

Umupo siya sa desk niya at umupo rin ako sa upuan sa harap niya. I fidgeted in my seat because his stares made me uncomfortable. His eyes made their way to my chest and my heart was beating fast because of it.

"Can you tell me what symptoms you are experiencing right now?" his voice made me squirm in my seat.

"I frequently have stomach pains and it hurts in my… my," Hindi ko matapos ang aking salita. He smirked and stared at me at yumuko ako.

"Your?" he asked and it almost sounded like he was teasing me. I shook the thoughts away, why the hell would he tease me? He's a doctor for god's sake.

I gulped.

"M-my private area." kinakabahan kong sabi. He licked his lips and stared at me. His lips are full and red. It makes me want to kiss him. Damn it August, stop it.

"Tell me August, do you have any medical history?" he asked and grabbed his pen. I shook my head, Wala pa akong medical history because this is all my first time. Hindi pa ako nakapag pa check-up noon.

“Did you ever had s*x?” he asked while he stared at my eyes. My face reddened and I wandered my stare away from him. Nakakahiyang sabihin sa kanya na hindi pa ako nakipagtalik kahit kailan. This is embarrassing.

“N-no,” nauutal kong sabi. I mentally slapped myself for not being confident enough to say words normally.

I saw him raised his eyebrows and stared at my body. Ganyan naman ang mga doktor diba? Tumitingin sila sa katawan mo para ma check ka? Right? Tama ba ako?

“Are you sure?” Tanong niya and I nodded my head. Is it necessary na itanong niya iyan? “So you’re not pregnant” sabi niya. Hindi talaga dahil certified na virgin ako kaya imposible na mabuntis.

"Well then, I will set a date for your physical examination. I have to check any abnormalities or tenderness in your.. pelvic area." he paused and I gulped. "I have to perform a vaginal examination to assess the size and position of the ovaries" his husky voice sent shivers down my spine. Oh my

God, I have to control myself.

Why is my doctor have to be so f*****g hot? Kailangan ko na talaga lumipat sa ibang hospital. He is going to perform a vaginal examination, how am I going to look at him on his face while he is examining my v****a? The thought of him touching my pelvic area made my body hot. This is insane, ano ang gagawin ko?

"I-is it really necessary, Doc?” I asked him and he nodded his head.

"Yes," he whispered. "If you don't do it as soon as possible, Hindi natin malalaman ang sakit mo and it will get worse." he added. Napabuntong hininga naman ako. I don't want it to get worst, at ano ang sakit ko?

"Ano ang possible na sakit ko Doc?" I asked him.

"You may be having an ovarian cyst but we will confirm it after the examination," he said and I nodded my head sadly. Ovarian cyst? Malubhang sakit iyan. Wala na akong choice, my mom would kill me if palipat lipat ako ng doktor. I have to face my fears. Besides, isa siya sa pinakamagaling na doktor sa Pilipinas kaya I think he is very professional and he has done these things kaya normal na ito sa kanya kaya Hindi dapat ako mag alala. I need to get a treatment kung may ovarian cyst man ako.

"I will do the examination." Sabi ko. His face lit up or maybe I am just imagining it. He grabbed his pen and wrote something.

"Be back here on September 7. Buy these medicines, this can help lessen the pain in the meantime," Sabi niya at binigay sa akin ang Isang maliit na papel na may sulat niya na hindi ko maintindihan. "Also write your address and number here, I already give my number to your mother in case may kailangan ka," he said at sinulat ko ang address at number ko.

Kailangan ba talaga malaman niya ang address ko? Hays, Wala naman akong alam sa pagiging doktor kaya hayaan ko nalang.

"Wow, I am actually moving here, that makes us neighbors soon," he said and my eyes widened. Magiging kapitbahay ko na siya? How am I going to rip this feeling off when he's very close to me now?

"That's.. that's good to hear." I faked a smile. Hindi ko na maitatanggi na crush ko na siya ngayon. Sino ba namang Hindi? He is so gorgeous He is made by Greek gods. His body is so built, I just want to run my fingers through it. I want him to be mine pero alam ko na impossible iyon dahil I think his standards are too high.

"Your Mom and I are very good… friends from the past," he said. Huh? Magkaibigan sila noon ni Mom? Wala namang sinabi si mama na kaibigan niya si Dr. Alarick. That's weird. "So, see you on September 7, August Dela Vela." Sabi niya and I nodded my head at tumayo.

"Thank you Doc." Sabi ko sa kanya and I left feeling flustered.

I drove my way back home and once again, I am all alone. I kept thinking about my new Doctor. I thought about his body and his handsome face. God, Ngayon ko lang gustong magka jowa. Ganito pala feeling kapag may crush? Masaya habang malungkot. Masaya dahil pinakilig ka ng mga scenario sa utak mo pero malungkot dahil alam mong Hindi naman magiging sayo.

Narinig ko ang busina ng kotse sa labas. Nakarating na ata si Mom. Agad akong bumaba para salubungin siya.

"How's your check-up?" tanong ni mama.

"It's very bad." sabi ko and I saw her glance at me with her worried eyes.

"What did your doctor say?" nag alala na tanong niya. I hate making her worried, pero I have to tell her the truth dahil para lang din naman itong lahat sa akin.

"Hindi pa confirm ma. Kailangan ko nang vaginal examination dahil baka ovarian cyst and sakit ko." Sabi ko sa kanya. Hinaplos niya ang mga pisngi ko at niyakap ako.

"Oh baby, we will do everything para magamot ka okay? As of now, you have to trust your doctor dahil he is the best doctor here kaya we need him." sabi ni mama and I nodded my head. Kahit 21 na ako, bata pa rin ang tingin ni Mom sa akin. Minsan nakakainis pero minsan mas gusto kong tinatrato na bata, it made me feel loved.

"You didn't tell me na magkaibigan kayo noon ni Dr. Alarick?" tanong ko and I saw her tenses at kinuha ang grocery at nilagay sa ref. I helped her with it.

"Yes, we were friends nong college pa ako, he was in high school." sabi ni mama. Alam ko namang mas matanda pa si mama kaysa Kay Dr. Alarick. Sa tingin ko mga 29 pa si Dr. Alarick base sa itsura niya. Mom is already 40.

"Bakit kayo nagkakilala?" tanong ko sa kanya. She sighs at sinara ang refrigerator.

"Hindi ko na matandaan. I am surprised na naalala pa niya ako." sabi ni Mom. "Anyway, I will call him and I will ask about your next appointment. Nag aalala ako para sayo." malungkot na sabi ni mama.

"It's going to be fine, you said he is the best doctor here. I am sure he can treat me." Sabi ko sa kanya and she nodded her head.

Bumalik ako sa kwarto ko habang napaisip. Magiging kapitbahay ko na ang doktor ko at Hindi ko alam kung magiging masaya ba ako. Hays, kailangan ko siyang mabura sa aking isipan dahil hindi rin naman siya magiging akin. I was out of his league. Siguro ang mga type niya ay iyong mga sobrang sexy na babae na mala artista ang dating. Teka, bakit ko ba naiisip ang mga ito?

I sigh at humiga sa kama at napatingin sa kisame. Kailangan ko nang ihanda ang sarili ko para sa vaginal examination. Kinakabahan ako.

He will be the first guy who will see me half-naked.
