Finally, she arrived at the hospital. She slowly turned the car engine off and took out the keys. That was Thursday night. The head nurse designated her to the Special Care Unit where only one nurse was allowed to take responsibility of the patients. SCU can be spotted at the far left corner of the second floor front wing of the hospital. It always looks creepy. The thought of staying there that night alone made her shiver. Complaining was the last thing she wants to do. It’s her job anyway.


After doing the charts and rendering care, she weakly turned on the tv and sat down. She was sleepy. So she stood up again, went to her things and got her game gadget out. It always makes her awake. She was singing this certain song on MTV when someone knocked at the door. It was almost 12 midnight. Who could it possibly be? Policy’s no visitors from 9 PM to 7 AM. Some ward nurse perhaps.


She hesitated but still opened the door. Outside the unit, there stood one of the laboratory staffs. His eyes were teary, red and swollen. He was silent for a moment, maybe thinking. And then he asked her if he could come in for a conversation, an important one. He seemed desperate to talk his problems out. What a puppy! And since he is her friend, she let him in.


He sat down beside her, table at the front. He then began to talk about this girl, a friend that eventually became the one he had fallen for. The deal was the girl only treats him as a friend. He was hurt, so hurt that he can’t bear it anymore. Anyone can feel the sadness in his eyes. He then asked for a warm embrace. He hugged her even before her consent. She was astonished. His pretty brown eyes somewhat became dark with evil scheme. The good boy image turned into a real monster identity. He touched her in places most male wants to touch in females. She stood up. Startled. Speechless. Frightened.


Maybe he was just confused.


She kindly asked him to leave the unit but the laboratory guy was persistent. He held her hands and pinned her to the wall, telling her how much he loves her and begging her to love him too. She wanted to scream but she just burst in tears. He was still touching her and she was too weak to fight his strong urge. He seemed obsessed. He then began kissing her lips. Those lips that were reserved only for the man she loved all her life. She was so afraid. She started squealing unpleasant words to his face and telling him to get out of the unit before she sues him. She repeated it a hundred times over before the lab guy came to his senses. He knelt down and apologized for what he did but she was too upset to forgive him. She pushed him out the door. She was scared. She was crying. And she had not slept in two days. Her mind kept picturing the terrible experience. The second marked traumatic day of her life finally came.


Heard the story? Asked your friends, perhaps they knew.
