Honey woke up early than her cellphone alarm. She peeked at her friend and was surprised that she was awake.
"You slept late?" Her greet before returning to her bed and folding the blanket.
Jenny lay down and answered with a sigh, "You mean, didn't sleep."
"As in?"
"Of course not. I slept at least for almost three hours."
"Hey! That's a bad routine! All right, on your day off…" Honey cut off what she was going to say.
"On my day off?"
"Yes. If you want it, let's go!" Her voice shows that she wants to punch on someone's who f*cked up her friend.
"Pssh! Nevermind!" Jenny laughed and refused.
"Oh, that's it! Alright, get up and you still have work to do. You can't sleep anymore."
"I know."
Honey went out first and made coffee for the two of them. She has the 3 in 1 coffee and her friend has the coffee black.
Jenny showed up and washed first approaching her. "This is mine?"
Honey just gave a thumbs up because she just took a sip of hot coffee slowly.
Jenny blew on the coffee first and then slowly sipped it when she suddenly choke.
"Why is it so bitter!?" She sneered at Honey who's laughing at her appearance.
"I know you're lack of sleep so I did you a favor so you wouldn't feel sleepy!" She answered while taking a strong sip of her coffee. Just to annoy.
"We don't have any sugar?"
"There's a lot. I put a teaspoon in it." Jenny looked at the coffee and picked up the teaspoon on the table and scoop it. She almost fainted to the color of the coffee.
Pitch black!
"What does a teaspoon of sugar can do with the blackness of my coffee?"
"That's fine! I'm going to take a bath!" Honey left her and went to their room to get some clothes to wear before going to the bathroom.
In the small cabinet where they still had some bread left, she get it and ate it.
After a while, her cell phone vibrated. Her boyfriend Mark texted.
[Message: Mark
Are you free this coming Sunday?]
Out of annoyance, even though she had nothing to do, she said she has work.
Her blood is still boiling everytime she thought how he stood her up. They will probably just argue.
She didn't realize that Honey was in front of her. "Hey, your turn!"
"Mark is asking me if we can meet on Sunday."
"And?"
"I said I have work." Honey burst out laughing because her friend rejected the boyfriend.
It's not about fueling the fire, but she really doesn't trust the contours of that Mark's face.
After all, everyone is kind at first, especially if they have bad intentions.
Too good to be true, right?
"So, the plan is this.. Are we going to corner your boyfriend? For now, take a shower and you still have work!" She pushed her friend into their room and took some clothes. She said goodbye that she was going to carinderia. She'll help Nanay Lin to buy some ingredients.
She also reminded Jenny not to forget to close the door and lock it.

Doc Manley had just finished making rounds and was on his way back to OPD when his friend saw him. Because Tony's last night's shift was a graveyard. He knew that he would only tease him so he went down the stairs. But he didn't really survive as patients passed by one after the other, where Tony caught up with him.
"You're hiding, Jonas!" Tony's words still panting.
"Am I hiding from you? It doesn't seem like it." He made excuses for it but didn't even bother with it.
"Gosh!"
"Why are you still here? Shouldn't you have gone home earlier?"
"Doc Kulas for some favor. But I'm on my way going home. I would like to invite you to lunch.." He looked at the wristwatch on his left wrist.
"Nah. Last time you invited me, it was a mess." He was referring to Honey mentioning that he was her boyfriend.
"Are you affected?" He asked laughingly.
"I don't know what you're talking about! Just leave and eat! I have many patients in OPD!" He shoo him away and succeeded. He also knew that Tony's was famished. He turned left and he went straight to the OPD.
Why should I be affected? Tsk. You're just overthinking too much, Tony.
It was afternoon and Jenny was on her way home when her cellphone rang again. The caller is her boyfriend Mark.
She sighed loudly and looked up at the sky.
"Really, Mark! What's your deal? Am I being tortured?" Even though she really wanted to answer, she had to hold back and stop herself because she knew there was something wrong between them that she let passed by for the past few months and that's enough. She needs to collect herself anda face everything.
