Chapter 12

"Marami ka bang pasyente ngayon?" I asked habang tinitignan ang patients' records na pinahawak sa'kin ni Doc Zephyr.

He placed his hands in his coat's pockets before he nodded his head. "Yes, especially students who are in need of my company."

"Ano 'yon? Kinakausap mo lang sila?"

Umiling siya. "Nope, I intend to listen more, than talk. Mas kailangan kasi ng mga pasyente ko ang isang listener kaisa adviser."

Napatango-tango ako. "Sabi ng chief nurse may kasama raw kaming senior nurse." Tumingin ako sa paligid namin, baka kasi nahuli lang ang senior nurse na kasama ni Doc Zephyr. "Pero parang wala naman?"

Doc Zephyr stopped walking kaya pati ako napahinto at saka nagtatakang napatitig sa kaniya. Hinarap niya ako at saka ngumiti at humalukipkip. "If I were going to be honest, I don't like having someone to face my patients with me."

"Ha? Bakit naman? Hindi ba mas magiging maayos ang pasyente mo kapag marami ang nakikinig sa kaniya?"
