Contraclockwise

Chapter 02

The party poppers that the patients popped the moment I went inside the hospital startled me. My patients were smiling at me.

 

"Congratulations for passing the board exam, Dra. Rackie. You really bring the bacon!" the nurses happily said. I chuckled when they used the Filipino accent because they don’t speak that way.

 

“Don’t English me, I’m nosebleed.” I replied in broken English. “Thank you. Now, kids go back to your romms please… the Director may get mad when he saw all of you here.” I reminded them. They follow what I said. I paused for a while from receiving their artworks as my gift when I saw the director of the hospital. “Go back to your rooms, I’ll do my rounds later and collect your gifts.” I said then the nurses were assists the kids back to their rooms.

I secretly gulped when he was right in front of me.

“Uh… Director, did you allow me?” I joked on reply to cover up my nervousness.

He was about to go when he turn around again. “Congratulations, Dr. Abstract Wrightwood, you nerve-rocking girl!” I was stunned of what I witness, I didn’t expect him smiling, well… he’s always poker face. I was about to breathe when he went back. “By the way, I can give you a ride.” He offers.

 

I just smiled. “I have my car, Director.  I can go home safely, thank you.” I respectfully decline.
