Night Shift

I slowly walked towards the hospital while trying to fight off my sleepiness, I couldn't let sleepiness win especially since I was transferred to the night shift.I could already see the tall hospital building and the people in the waiting area, the ambulance at the entrance to the ER, and the families crying and taking care of the paperwork for the morgue."Yhra, is it your shift?" the guard at the table joked at me as I approached for my time card."Yes, it's my first day on the night shift. It's all of a sudden," I replied then he checked my bag and gestured for me to be okay."So, why were you transferred?" he asked me and then I frowned."I don't know either, but leave it alone. I can't do anything, I'm working." I smiled before running to the janitors' locker room. I didn't know which floor and ward I was assigned to now. In the morning, I'm on the ground floor and in the private ward."Yhra, how are you?" My colleague who had just come out greeted me with a smile."Okay, it's

As I stood next to the 7/11 across from the hospital, my entire body hurt. I’ve just gotten out of work after completing my night shift.I’ve been avoiding the doctor’s office as much as possible. I’m afraid to go to Remon and watch him bring a nurse there, and the woman who comes out can scarcely move."Yhra!" I turned around and approached my colleague, Carlo, who was holding a cigarette. He was also a physician, but he was extremely intelligent and lived in a condominium near the hospital."Carlo, you'll give me a mini heart attack," I said to Carlo, but he patted t pat my shoulder and brought me the drink, and started to light another cigarette."As you know, I received a message from Remon." I was scared about what he may have said, but I kept it to myself. I know Carlo because I don’t want anybody to know what is wrong with me.He is an excellent buddy. I owe him money on the occasion when I’m in need."What is that rumor? You do not appear to be accustomed to it. Even if you ar

I jumped to my feet swiftly, holding my head and striving to recondition myself. Because of my difficulty breathing, I felt as though I was suffocating."Are you all right?" he said, as Carlo’s face revealed itself to me."What am I doing? I have not yet completed my cleaning!" I was shocked and sprang to my feet."Not to worry, Yhra, you may take a break. You're so exhausted, so fatigued," My breathing slowed, and I let him gaze at me for an extended period.I was terrified. What if I become pregnant because of what happened between me and Remon? I’m not sure how else I’m going to get up or where I’m going to get confidence."Is that true?" I raised my eyes to avoid his gaze as if someone else were suddenly in front of me. I have the impression that I am a filthy lady."How can you make sure that I will tell what happened, Carlo?""Simply state the truth." I remained mute and nodded slightly in response to what he said. Carlo’s rage was palpable."Why?" I cringed and did not know how

As I strolled to the brief stop to cool myself and pass the time, the difficulties of the situation took me aback. I felt constricted as if I couldn’t breathe through the anguish, but even more so, if I gazed, nothing would happen.I could hear only the ringing and hum of the air conditioner since very few people were going by at this hour of the night."We have coffee, ma’am. Perhaps you want it. It’s only twenty-five pesos." I nodded and grinned. Each time I recall a phrase Mama left me, I am enveloped in darkness and despair.She put an end to all my hopes for our family. I merely want support, but when times are tough, they’ll return it to me."I appreciate it." I smiled once again and handed the coffee over. He stared at me and was perplexed by the objects next to me."Why are you lugging along so many garments? If you’re waiting for the bus to depart for the province, it will depart at 4 AM." I drank my coffee and nodded."I’m expecting something. And then I can not return to th

He chuckles as he clings to his tummy and sits on the side of the bed. "I’m joking, Yhra," Melchor says."That was a fantastic reaction, I’ll tell you that. If you could only see me, you’d understand why I’m laughing so hard right now," He said, and I couldn’t believe what he was saying. It seemed like all the dread from the previous day was back, and the memories of that day were pushing me away from him.His blasphemy against me is unforgivable, and there will be no forgiveness."You made me feel uncomfortable," I said and then took the food out of his pocket and wallet and placed it in his bag."It’s been a long time since I last time I saw you. I could see mucus flowing from its mouth and frothing at the mouth." Melchor keeps on joking and I can't hide the disgust on my face."Take into consideration that you are a really attractive lady."My cousin’s statements to me had me puzzled.She is my aunt Jessa’s child, and he is about the same age as me."Do you mean to imply that what

"Please let me go. Aren’t you a little ashamed of my family? If this is the case, you’ll bring me back to life and drag me here. I’ll stay with them till you go back to the house." After coming to a stop at the resort’s most popular area, I screamed at Remon, who was putting his hands close to his forehead, as if experiencing some type of serious difficulty, which he was not."I will discuss it in further detail if you come with me." I moved my hand away from him, but Remon keep grabbing my hand, insisting to hold it."Do not be obstinate; I do not want to have to repeat what you’re saying to the depths of my being if you continue to be so. You’ve just ruined all I’ve worked so hard to achieve. That’s more than enough stop to this immediately." I am not bothered to wait for his reaction meant that I could flee the situation without a second thought.When I got a little farther away from the house, I pulled over to the side of the road and quickly wiped away the tears that had been hol

The fact that I was still lying in bed without a cover didn't help matters because my eyes were hurting so badly.It appeared to me that Remon had just smacked me, as he walked away from me. He sat in the corner and walked away as if he wanted to make up for what we had done the previous night.The fact his actions and shame have both been restored as a consequence of the beating is wonderful, but the situation is far worse for me.I was feeling a lot of agony in my body. I was vehement in my refusal to go. I hoped for the things that I desired to happen. The reason for his decision to travel with me to Laguna was a mystery. What makes you think I can't get rid of all of his misery?Because of the discomfort in my knees, it was difficult for me to maneuver cautiously out of the space."Remon please take me back, I wanna go home."Even though it was tough for me to enter the building, people appeared to take an interest in me for reasons that I couldn't fathom."Please." I was dragged

My body is in a great deal of discomfort. I have bruises and scratches all over my seat, and my thighs are paralyzed and look like they are on the edge of being cut as a result of the pain.I'm not sure when I'll be able to break free from everything he puts me through.I'm baffled as to why this is happening to me. The fact that I have already been laid to rest does not change the fact that I have been a good child to my parents.Things, on the other hand, are different now. When I think about it, it feels like I'm hauling around all of the world's frustration. Whenever I think back on the moment he pushed my entire being to the edge, I refuse to be bitter about how I'm feeling.Someone entered after I pretend to be asleep because I heard the doorknob turn in the middle of the night when I was awakened by the sound of footsteps. I, on the other hand, have no notion of who they are.In the aftermath of his tormenting and making fun of me, I haven't been able to sleep at all."Remon, w

"Are you seriously under the impression that hurting your face will make me stop?" In between getting the scissors and walking near my chair, Remon said nothing but tremble. He simply stood there, gazing at my face. "Please don't make me worry any longer." I will appreciate it if he didn't disrespect me, how funny to see his reaction."Yhra, I'd like to accompany you for the next month. All of your duties, including those linked to your family and other affairs, will be taken care of by me." For the second time, he was able to break his habit at that moment. Alternatively, he may be concerned that I will detract from the poker appearance he is attempting to keep. Tears welled up in my eyes as I questioned him before he softly stroked and touched my face. "I realize that even if I make every effort to pretend that you are her, she is not with you; she is with someone else, and you are a separate person, and the two of you are not the same person. I simply want the feeling that she is

I awakened early the next morning after Remon explained what should and should not be done in my room. Despite the fact that he hadn't finished talking to me yet, he left as soon as his phone rang and returned home with a woman about ten o'clock that evening.My preparations to walk downstairs to get some water were interrupted when I observed them doing something obscene in the kitchen.There are no people in her house, not even the maid, whom I haven't seen in a long time."Would you mind telling me who she is?" As Remon and the woman who had been with him the night before fell asleep at the same time, I averted my gaze.I couldn't care less about her. Simply leave. But he didn't listen and instead came up to me and apologized.He gave me a long, hard look from head to toe. He was even admiring the clothes I was wearing."Does this resemble your maid's son?" His brows were furrowed, and he seemed concerned about me, which was unusual."No, simply get out of here." I'll call you when
