INCIDENT 3
AFTER TWO DAYS…
“Valle? Laura Valle?” The nurse repeatedly called as soon as she entered the ward door. “Delivery!” She said more.
Laura frowned when she heard and saw the approaching nurse.
“Laura Valle?” she asked once more.
“Yes,” Laura answered sparingly.
The nurse put down the bag of groceries. A wrapped loaf, pouched stuffing, some biscuits, fruit, and a grooming kit with soap, shampoo, and everything for hygiene.
“Ugh—where did that come from, nurse?” Laura asked, surprised. She got up. “It’s a lot,” she said again.
The nurse answered, “That’s how Doc Handsome cares.”
“Doc- handsome?” Laura’s brow furrowed in wonder.
“Yes! Doc Tuason! He’s handsome, isn’t he? He’s really kind. He’s like this with his patients, especially with those no one is watching. He answers everything.” The nurse said.
“The gay one?” Laura asked.
The nurse laughed at what Laura said. “Oh no! He’s a heartthrob here. He’s not gay! His girlfriend is so beautiful! Haha! He just acts and talks a little too smoothly, but he’s not gay.”
“Aah.. I’m sorry. Please tell him, thank you very much, nurse.” Laura said.
“Okie! Then-he asked me to take a look at you. Call me to the nurse’s station when you need something, okay? Laura, Nurse Clair, huh? Don’t forget!” The nurse said, showing her nameplate.
Laura just nodded and smiled. The nurse also left after arranging all the items and food she brought.
Suddenly, one of the patients who was there spoke. “Laura, that’s a lot! I heard that the doctor is really nice,” he said. “He used to have a patient here who he gave a fare back to the province. That handsome doctor really cares. He’s still young! He’s an angel in disguise. He must have a lot of money.”
“Really? He looks nice. I even mistook him for gay. It’s embarrassing,” said Laura. She was no longer embarrassed and immediately picked up a bread wrapper as well as the stuffing. “Come, let’s eat,” she offered to her companions. She happily unwrapped the bread and ate it.

WE ARE CURRENTLY eating lunch while chatting happily. The three of us are still at home.
“It’s like-Doc’s aura is different now! Your chakra is great and strong! Haha!” Tejie teased. He pretends to act and demonstrates that he is doing a karate move.
“Yes indeed! I think Doc is happy today,” Claudie seconded. This girl is also a strong, teasing character.
I only smiled at the two while continuing to eat. When you answer to them, you’re done! Especially Tejie, who never runs out of naughtiness in the brain.
“It looks like we’re doing a good job today, man! Did you and Irene have a few rounds last night? Tss!” Tejie teased again.
“Hey Tej, we are eating!” Claudie scolded.
“What? Irene is still in Cebu! She’ll be back next month! I’m on a diet!” I answered.
“Aah.. Uh… you got someone new, Clyde?”
“Clyde must have seen a pretty patient, which explains his behavior. He’s got a big smile! How many catheters did you put in yesterday?” Claudie was overly amused.
I laughed. “Stop it,” I answered, after drinking water. “Can’t I be happy, huh? Hmm! Aha!”
“Your mood is quite different now, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you shine, baby and I just noticed it, right?” Tejie said while pointing to Claudie, who was currently eating a fish.
She replied, even though she was still gasping, “Yes, is your patient pretty today, hmn? Doc?”
“I’m just happy. What are you two doing? Why overreact to my good mood today?” I said, giggling.
“Really?” Tejie is trying to piss me off again with a funny facial reaction.
“Don’t be like that, Tej; we might get a free bucket tonight! Haha!” Claudie said.
“Yes! The three of us are complete then-we don’t have anything to do tomorrow,” answered Tejie, who was currently pinching my arm. “We could be wasted!”
“Stop it, I have an appointment tomorrow morning. I have an endorsement,” I replied. “Stop that devilish look at me Tejie! That won’t work this time!”
Claudie answered quickly. “That’s it! Let’s do it now!”
“Haha! Cool! What can you say, Doc-G?” Tejie was the instigator. He was always the major brain of the group.
I just shook my head at the funny reaction on both of their faces.
“Woohoo! You know what? Shaking means yes!” Claudie spoke loudly. She even held up the spoon and fork.
“Okay, fine! Let’s just stay here at home, okay? No goin’ out! Just buy it at the store!”
“That’s boring!” Claudie frowned.
“Alright, don’t! I’ll just go to sleep!” I exclaimed.
“Alright! You’re going to order pizza, right?” Claudie said, holding me back.
“Can I invite someone? Huh, Clyde?” Tejie asked suddenly.
Claudie continued to frown. “Who is it, Tej?” she asked. “Anything new? You and Blondie broke up?”
Tejie seemed a little embarrassed; his cheeks immediately blushed. “I have a client right now-she kind of wants to bond with me. Is it okay if I send her over? Then – I’m sure you know her very well, Clyde.”
I just smiled and then said, “It’s okay Tej,- do we know her?” I asked.
Claudie immediately teased, so Tejie couldn’t answer. “Should I have Manang Pining fix the room on the rooftop for you?”
“Why on the rooftop?” I asked with raised eyebrows.
So when Claudie approached me, “That’s where Tej spreads his mess when he’s with someone, so don’t go there,” she whispered to me. “There are so many unborn people calling him daddy,” she chuckles.
“Uhump! Really messy, baby? Don’t tell me you’re the cleaner. Unborn? So scary! ” I started to tease him too.
“Oh! I would not go in there, Brother Clyde, if I were you! Haha!” Claudie laughed loudly.
Tejie just laughed too, giving Claudie a snappy look.
“Please call a priest to bless that room. So many unborn babies are crawling around!” I said. I keep on teasing him. “Oh fuck! What if one is a doctor or turns out to be a future president? Fuck Tej! You’re wasting life!” I teased more, trying to hold back my laughter.
Claudie couldn’t help it anymore so she laughed out loud.
“The fuck Claudie! Bursting with happiness? Stop it! I put them on a tissue roll and said sorry baby daddy is not yet ready! Haha! Stop it. You’re beating me! You know so much, Claudie! You know so much more! Umn!” Tejie said, throwing a banana peel at Claudie.
The three of us just laughed. We ended up eating and talking nonsense. It’s really fun when we are completed. Even Claudie, who is still a young girl, keeps up with Tejie and I’s antics. It’s good that she grew up open-minded so she can handle any kind of conversation we have. She also often witnesses the antics of Tejie because I am often not at home. There are times when Tejie brings women to the house, and Claudie sees that but Tejie’s girls are at the right age so it doesn’t bother me even if he’s turning the room on the rooftop into a motel. He sometimes brings his clients, which ends up being his one-night stand. There was even a chance that one of his clients liked me too, forcing me to go out drinking even once because of her desire to meet me and do a one-night stand with me.
But-she did not succeed. I’m not interested in that because I have a girlfriend and I don’t have time to wander around. I’m too busy with my work and I’m also afraid to touch a woman casually, because I have a reputation to protect, so I avoid those who can damage my image, even though sometimes it’s really tempting. I’ll just let Tejie have the title – playboy! So long as I always remind him to be careful of his lust. Oops! Sorry for the words! I’m only human, and I’m hiding something too, but it’s just hidden! It’s rarely released! And for the record—I’m horny too! There is no denying it!Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
I also have cravings, which is probably normal for men my age, and when I want sex, my girlfriend and I can do it whenever we want, but it’s been a month since she’s been in Cebu, so there’s no contact. My girlfriend is also a doctor, Dr. Irene Sales, a dermatologist. She is the same age as me. We’ve been in a relationship for almost two years and are still counting. Even though we’re a bit messy at times, we’re still together. Because she easily gets jealous, sometimes I’m even confused if we really have feelings for each other or if it’s just lust! Yes! When Tejie and I are alone together, we’re also silly. We also talk profanity. When I’m at home or even outside, as long as I don’t have my stethoscope on, there’s mischief too. Not everyone knows that I’m a doctor. Also, I’m just low-key when I’m out. My personality is completely different when I wear my stets. All you’ll see from me is smiles and nods. Good luck if you talk to me for a long time. When I’m in uniform, I rarely talk.
But believe me- I also have a dirty mind and pervert too, but- in a good and safe way!
But– I’ll admit– that behind that decent personality of mine– was a demon you wish not to try. And that fuckin’ beats me… It fuckin’ hunts me…
