Episode 2: Marlon.

When I was just about to open the door my board mate suddenly opened the door. His name is Marlon De Guzman. He works in a company as Assistant Manager. He is 26 years old and we have been board mates for almost 4 years till now.

Klein!! He screamed.

What the? You startled me. I said.

Oh sorry about that. Come inside now. He said.

Ok. I said and got inside.

I put my bag on the chair and get a glass of water.

I cooked fried chicken, you can eat it with me. He said.

I walked toward him holding a glass of water and saw the fried chicken he said he cooked.

It's not a fried chicken it is more like a burned chicken. I said.

You're hurting my feelings my friend. It is slightly burnt but trust me, it's edible. He said.

Yeah.. I will eat it later, I'll just change my clothes. I said and walked toward the cabinet. I took off my clothes and grabbed the t-shirt.

Oh no!! Marlon screamed.

Hey!! Stop scaring me. I said.

No, what happened to your back? He asked.

Nothing, why? I said and asked back.

He stood up and came closer to me.

Oh.. You have a lot of bruises on your back and all over your body. He said with a worry in his voice.

Hey.. It's ok. It is just a bruise. You don't have to worry about it. I said.

No. It's bruises, a lot of bruises you should have your check-up tomorrow, I will accompany you. He said.

No, you don't have too, and I will have my check-up tom so don't worry. I said.

No, I will go with you, I'll have my day-off tomorrow and go with you to the hospital. He said.

Ok, thank you. I said and hugged him.

Ok let's eat now, my delicious chickens are waiting. He said.

Delicious your ass. I said.

We sat down and ate, I really wanted to tell him that his food really tasted like ash, but I just kept my mouth shut and finished my food. I washed the dishes after we ate and set my alarm for my check-up tomorrow. I change into pajamas and lay down. My cellphone suddenly rang so I picked it up. I saw my sister's ID on my cellphone, I stood up and answered the call.

Hello Sis. I said.

Klein.. I have good news. She said.

And what is it. I asked.

I passed the board exam. She happily said, and I can feel that she is jumping over joy.

Oh no! Really! Congrats. I said.

Thank you. Thank you for supporting me. She said.

It's nothing. I said.

No, it's everything. I don't know how to thank you but..Klein can you still wait until I find a job? and you can finish your dream degree. She said.

I can still work so, don't worry. I replied.

No, it's my time to pay back what I owe you. Thank you brother. She said and I know that she is crying. I just smile and tears of happiness fall from my cheeks.

Ok. I said.

We talked for almost one hour and I fell asleep. I woke up the next morning and preferred myself for my check-up. Marlon also woke up early to accompany me.

Are you ready? I asked Marlon.

Oh wait my friend, I just need to put lip tint. Muah. Oh, yes. This is good. He said while looking in a mirror.

Let's go. He said.

Ok. I replied.

We walked and reached the road and took a cab. We've reached the Hospital.

Montero's Hospital. I muttered.

Wow. This hospital is kinda big. Marlon said.

Let's go and get inside. I said.

Ok. He said, and we walked together and asked the nurse.

Excuse me Miss. I said.

Yes? Sir. The nurse asked.

Where is Dr. Montero's office? I asked.

Do you have an appointment with him, Sir? She asked.

Yes. I replied.

Your name Sir? She asked.

Klein Castillo. I answered.

Oh. Yeah. This. She muttered and gave us the direction.

We followed her instructions and went up to the third floor and found Dr. Montero's office. I knocked on the door.

You can open it. A voice said from the inside.

I opened the door and I saw a handsome man sitting on the chair. He is kinda older than me, I think he is in his forties but his look is really deceiving.

You can sit here. He said.

Marlon, let's get inside. I said.

No I'll wait here. He said.

Ok. I said and entered then I sat down.

Your name? He asked.

I'm Klein Castillo. I replied.

Oh. Alfonso told me that you are coming. He said and stood up.

Follow me and let's proceed to your check-up. He said.

I walk outside crying.
