I stare blankly from the things that happened today. I am now sitting inside the office of Director Art while listening to the debates from the doctors who are my senior here.
"Dr. Rackie, should know how to place herself!" Dr. Heart yelled. The truth is, the Neurological Department rushed to the office of Director Art and now shouting and yelling. "Dr. Rackie, did the right thing as a doctor." Dr. Red calmly said. “What’s the fuss, doctors?” he asked coolly. “Seriously, where are we when one of our VIP patients is suffering? Come on, let’s just admit it, she even risks her life just to get back here. She abandoned her family’s celebration party for her just to check the VIP patient.” He said with his blank expression. He looked at me and winked. “Dr. Rackie, how’s your leg?” he suddenly asks. “Why so shocked? You ran from the parking lot up to the third floor, isn’t it?” I nodded. “I-it’s nothing, Doc. I’m alright.” I stuttered replying. Dr. Red stood up and went right in front of me. He sat and pulled up my pants up until my knees. “Is this what you call alright, Dr. Rackie? Your legs were swelling and full of bruises.” He commented. “Now, doctors, let us be professional. It’s not about being old or new here, it’s about saving lives. What’s wrong for a new doctor in this department to look after the VIP patient? We all know that this rookie is showing off and we all know that she’s one of the best, even just looking at the patient from a far, her diagnostics are always right.” He sermons. He stood up and looked at me again. “I don’t know why you chose to be a neurologist! Orthopedic Department is nicer to you!” he suddenly commented. “Anyway, Director Art, what can you say?” “You said it all, future CEO.” Director Art seriously said. I was stunned from what I heard. It was obvious that everyone was also stunned from the news they’ve heard. “Oh, really? The announcement will be held for that CEO thing will be next week.” Director Art chuckled. “Brother, it’s getting obvious already.” He said. “Doctors, I don’t want this to happen again. Dr. Abstract might not be fully pledged as a Pediatric Neurologist yet but she’s still a doctor here, she’s a resident doctor here. Meeting is done; you can now go except for you, Dr. Abstract.” I was left and it was really awkward. Dr. Red smiled at me when I looked at him to thank him. He lean near me. “You don’t have to thank me, I have a condition for what I’ve done today.” He whispered. “Bro, I’ll go now.” Director Art nods. Director Art glared at me. “You need rest. I’m giving you a full week off. That swelling and those bruises won’t be gone for a night only.” He said. He get something from his drawer and put it on the small table in front of me. “Get this and use it.” He said. I had no choice but to get it then I went out of his office and praying that I won’t go inside that office causing chaos ever again. After I closed the door, Dr. Red went right in front of me. “Come with me.” he said and carried me on his shoulder. He run while he carries me until we reached the elevator. “Rackie, don’t move! Haven’t you feel where am I touching you right now just to hold you tight?” he asks. I stopped from moving when I felt what part of my body he was holding me. “You can put me down.” I commanded. “Promise me, you won’t run when I put you down.” "Oh, come on! How can I run in this close room?" I sarcastically asks. He put me down and I found out that we’re going to the rooftop. The moment the door of the elevator opens, he hold my hand and pull me out. “Your legs will be ugly.” He commented. “Why do you care?” I asked. “Whoa! Don’t bite me. I’m just helping you here. You make me want to kiss you because of your attitude.” He said. He pulled me and get me close to him. “Maybe, later.” He commented then he carried me again and let me sit from the high place near the wall. “Don’t move or else you’ll fall.” He said while he was busy putting ice in the icepack. “I know you haven’t done this s—” “Are you some kind of a stalker?” I asked. To be honest, he annoys me and what made me more irritable was I’ve found out that his brother was Director Art. “Why asking?” he asks without facing me. “Just answer.” I said demandingly. “Wow, demanding. Do you know that?” he asked then he looks up to look at me. His face is near my face, I can feel his breathe that is why I move away. He suddenly hold my shoulder so he can support me. “I don’t you don’t move. You know what, if I really want to kiss you, I won’t say it and I’ve done it already.” He said with smile. I sigh. There, that smile again that really irritates me so to stop him from messing around, I kissed him. He was stunned, which lead me to go down and go far away from him. I’m near the door when he pull me. “That’s not a kiss.” He said and give me a deep kiss after he smiled. “You really have the sweetest lips I’ve ever tasted.” “Are you done? Can I go home now? You’re happy, right?” I sarcastically said. He stopped me. “That’s not enough, Rackie. I want you.” “Even if you own me now, I swear you’ll never have my heart, Red!” “I don’t do anything to you without your consent. It won’t be like stealing a kiss, that’ll be rape.” “At least, you know!” I said then walkout. Actually, I want to break his fingers but since I want to stay here I have to bear, next time there’s no next time. I’m about to get inside my department to get my things because I have to go home. I saw Dr. Red in the hallway talking to some nurses; he waved and winked at me. I noticed how those nurses turn their heads and look at me. I rolled my eyes to Dr. Red and went inside the department to get my things. *Cataclysm Chapter1.3 I suddenly open my eyes when I realize when I heard my phone alarms. It’s 7 o'clock, I'm not late but I have to get ready because the house is a bit far from the school. "Mom, I won't eat breakfast today. Sorry." I shout out while running through the stairs. "You can still make it, you have to eat first." a familiar voice says. I turned around to look who it is. Oh, yeah! I forgot that I'm with my father from this day onwards. I can't say no after long years of not eating together. --- After a long and exhausting day, at last, day off came! Being alone in the house is not cool when all you want for your day off is to just sleep and lie down all day."This pride of mine really made my life miserable." I whisper to the air. "Thanks to turbo washing machine, I can do the laundry without a sweat."As I wait for my clothes, I'm preparing for the meal I’ll eat for breakfast. The doorbell rang. I look at the wall clock, its only 7 o'clock in the morning."Good Morning, Sandy!" Snowflakes' greets."Oh, good morning Nowee." I greeted back. "What did you came for?""Rude!" she said then step inside the house. "I'm here to help you with your household chores.""Well, if that's the case... it'll end up you doing all the household chores." I grinned."Then, do your laundry; I'll help you with cooking and cleaning."What else can I do? I can't say no when I really need a helping hand. "Okay."After all the chores, I checked my Facebook. "Wow!" that's the only word I can say to describe how surprised I am.My story that I post on Facebook got not only hundred, thousand likes and comments in just one night. I saw Avalanche's post, he shared my story last night and this is the result. I
It’s been five days since I stay in the house, I’ve been sleeping, eating and writing Cataclysm, of course reading the stories of the young writers Sketch and Doodle that is promising. Somehow, what I’ve been doing makes me bored when you do it in daily basis because I miss what I’m doing in the hospital, doing rounds, checking up the kids and doing some errands from other departments for extra income. While we were all busy using our phones, I went inside my room because I’m more comfortable lying down on the bed, I jumped on my bed and sat carefully. I looked at my legs. “You’re healing process is fast.” I said happily while staring at my legs.I noticed one of the posts of Sketch that has thousands of comments and shares. ‘I feel thrilled by being watched, it is possible that the person is all following me in the comfort room?’, His post is familiar, but I don’t know where did I read it. Since I’m too bored during my five days stay in the house, I read all of the com
Dr. Abstract,Please, accept the small amount we can give you as our way of our gratitude and appreciation for taking care of our prince, Storm.P.S.Please, don't give it back. Use it for yourself and for your family.Thank you.Kindly regards,Mr. and Mrs. CasperWow! Small amount… okay, they were the ones who said it… I’ll accept it then. I put it on my wallet and thinking of what can I do to treat my family for tomorrow, maybe a lunch and dinner outside, a good full body massage will be great too. I picked another gift from the box and I saw it was from Flood, his gift is quite big. “What is this?” I found a note that was attached on the box.Dr. Rackie,You have to use this.FloodWhoa! Even in his note is really demanding. I was surprised when I finally saw what his gift was. It was the laptop that I’ve been dreaming for which is now mine instantly. “In fa
I stood up and went to get some money on my wallet. “Keep the change, it’s yours. Buy something for yourself not for other things here, for yourself. If you want to buy something for the house, you can tell me.” I said then put my wallet back in my backpack then went back to the corner. “Ma, before you go please turn off the lights. Thank you!”I glance at her before she leaves and her gesture of locking the door before going out made me smile. She really knows the attitude of each of us her children. “Now, Cataclysm…. I need to go inside your world and let me finish this current chapter so we can move forward to the next chapter.” I whispered. I got a bit frustrated because I can’t think straight, it’s already eleven o’clock and I’m sleepy but I only wrote half of the story. I’m a bit distracted to my phone from receiving a lot of notification and also because Flood kept on calling me so I put my phone into driving mode so the gadget will stop from ringing. I’m on leav
I really hate being linked by someone whom I don't know. Who is this Abstract that they always put next to my name?“Dude, I saw your girlfriend at the cafeteria outside the school. I didn’t know that kind of girl is your type.” one of my peers said. I crooked my forehead. Before I’m being linked to this girl, now she’s my girlfriend? I wasn’t able to contain my anger and went out of the campus to look for my ‘girlfriend’.When I enter the cafeteria, I went straight to the girl sitting near the window of the store. How did I know that it was her, simply because she’s the only customer I’ve seen. I sat down in front of her and it’s obvious that she was stunned by my action. I glared at her but what stunned me was she just looked back at me without any reaction on her face. After I calm down from being stunned, I sat down properly and cleared my throat. “Miss, look... I don’t have the time to play your game as your boyfriend.” I said as I held bac
I was awake with my ex-girlfriend next to me, Abstract shouldn’t know this. If she knew, she’ll leave me. Wait! How did we end up like this? I just helped her to rush her mother in the hospital. What will I do? No one should know this."Babe, are you tired of me?" she asked unexpectedly. We were in the mall and buying the materials for her artworks.I stared at her, she’s serious, she doesn’t have the smile on her lips as if she was saying she’s hungry. “Of course not!” I replied.“Hmm...” she hums then nods. "Let me know if you're getting tired of me, I'm willing to let you go." She said, she looked at me at smiled timidly."I will never get tired of you, Babe. There's no way, I would." I assured.“Okay... maybe for now but there will be a day that you’re get tired of me.” She sound hurt.“Are we going to stay together for six long years if I’m getting tired?” I ask her
"I'm killing my characters right now. Do you know what am I thinking? Can you read what's on my mind? I think, you can't how can you say I'm easy to read?" I just looked at her; she’s staring at me as if she’s waiting for me to talk. She threw my car keys on me and left. It’s been few minutes before I realized that I won’t be able to see her after. I was late, I wasn’t able to see run after her from the KTV, I just send the things she bought from the mall earlier, thinking I might be able to see her and talk to her but her mother said she left again and said that she might not be back right away. At that moment, I knew it... I will never see her.I was stunned when I saw her on my graduation day. I didn’t expect her to come and do what she have promised that she’ll be on one of the important days of my life. We were on our garden after my graduation party when she gives something. I saw that she’s giving back the necklace I gave her when we celebrate our 5th anniv
I went outside the house to go to the bank so I want deposit the cheque that was given to me. I didn’t drive because Paint used the car but I asked her to go home early.“I want to deposit this to my account.” I said the male accountant. “I’m terrified that the cheque will stay longer inside my wallet.” I joked on.He smiled at me. “It’s really terrifying when you have cheque inside the wallet, Rackie.” He replied.I stare him. I don’t know if my eyes are just bad or maybe because I’m not wearing my eyeglasses today? He smiled and pointed at his nameplate. I read his name, Sapience... Oh! I remember, he is the one they call Sapie when I was still a rider. “Sapie...” I said and he chuckled.“It’s okay, you can check your account.” He said then smiles again.His dimples showed. “Don’t smile too much, the girls here might fall in love with you.” I joked on.“Including you?” he asked. I looked at him and
