Its Monday morning and I am now ready to face my new day my longest battle in my school papasok na sana ng biglang haraningin ng lady guard sa school “maam saglit po pa temperature check muna po” she said taray ahh asensado na ang school Hahaha pero sabagay private nga pala to.

Simpre huminto naman ako saka tumuloy nang mag sign ito na okay na, nakita ko ang best friend kong sin Riah agad ko naman syang nilapitan ‘’uy sup hakdog?!Anong ganap bat may thermometer?’’ tanong ko dto sabay akbay “hahaha gaga!

“Sira ka di naman magugunaw ang mundo nang dahil lang don haiyst! At tsaka yun ayy kung magpasakal sayo si commander mo! hahahaha” pangaasar ko dito sumama ang tingin nito “Che!Ang nega nega mo talaga palihabsa wala kang jowa! jan kana nga bitter!’’ she said sabay walkout hahaha “easy I’m just kidding“ hinabol ko ito para suyuin “ewan ko sayo !” derederetso lang ito “uyyy Riah saglit lang” pikon talaga ang loko di pa nasanay sakin hahahaha.

Riah is my best friend since we are elementary halos alam na naming ang likaw ng bituka ng bawat isa saamin ewan ko ba sa babaeng to bat pikon parin hangang ngayon hahaha. Marami ang pagkaka pareho naming dalawa actually pareho nga kaming pumasok sa school na ito at pumili ng med. Course tulad ko ay di rin nito pinangarap maging nurse her auntie choose this path for her at dahil ganon din nan ang course ko sumunod narin sya para magkasama parin daw kami kahit sa work life namin haha.

But at least sya lang ang bukod tanging nakakaalam ng lahat sakin, so I can’t imagine a life without her oh English yun hahaha Kasalukuyang hinahabol ko si Riah when suddenly my phone rang. I check it it was Allen “Cloud code red!” he said and after upon hearing it I immediately run to go to the office di ko na inantay pa si Riah na lumabas sa CR since it’s urgent kaya I texted her nalang. Ang di ko maipaliwanag is bakit ganto nalang kumabog ang dibdib ko sa kaba I know na makikita ko si Cal doon pero may kakaiba talaga e.

Pakiramdam ko may di magandang mangyayari, pag dating ko sa meeting room lahat nang officers at mga scientist along with Doc. Lee na ikinataka ko I thought her daughter died last week then andito na siya agad? This might been something very important “Alright the Vice president is here” Jayden said I saw my friends sitting next to him and their faces are serious and take note the weirdest is nauna pa si Riah sakin how come? “Hey everyone, I apologized for being late” I said formally and vow my head

“Alright, Let’s begin miss V.P you can sit down next to Mr. president” doctor lee said lihim akong nadismaya well sa dinami dami ba naman nang taong makakatabi ko ay si Ram pa he smirked at me while I am walking towards him I glared at him kailan ba ako tatantanan nito “nice to see again Dein” he said of course trying to annoy me “yeah” I just said well I am not in a mood to talk to him magsasalita ka sana ito but doc. Lee started to speak which is good.

“Okay, I know you guys are now confused why I suddenly call for a red code meeting today but I have an important things to tell you, I am not going to make it swayed” panimula nito na lalong nagpakaba sakin she sign ate Lianne to come out she just nodded at her and walk towards doc. Lee with a weird purple capsule holding in her hands “guys I want you to introduce to our newly discovered specimen, and this little capsule right in front you is the future, our future” she continue while presenting the specimen in her hands.

I feel like having a bad feelings about it I really don’t know but I seems like something is wrong or it’s just in my mind. “Are you okay Dein?’’ a voice of the man beside me suddenly enter up my over thinking “yeah” I reply without glancing at him, “you sure?’’ paniniguro nito I just nodded to shut him up ibinaling ko nalang muli ang attention ko sa unahan “okay I know everyone in this room are wondering what is this marvelous thing I’m showing you. This specimen is from rafflesia plant, a rare and also known to be the biggest flower in world” she walked around and look to my eyes.

As I met her gaze I already knew that there is something big she is planning to do, I don’t know if it’s for good or something that we might regret. “Recently we discovered something interesting about its characteristics it contains various chemicals such as dimethyl disulfide, which can contain sulfur that creates the rotten smell. However in other parts of Southeast Asia, the plant is thought to have medicinal powers. Drinking a Rafflesia tea after child birth, some indigenous peoples of northern Borneo believe, will flux the placenta and restore the figure.” Now she is discussing the whole plan I guess.

“It is a promising natural source of strong antioxidant compounds and it contains FVCs or floral Vonatile Contituens” without breaking an eye contact with she said those words like she wanted to hear my thoughts so I raised my hands “I ask for permission to speak?’’ I said “go ahead miss Ramirez“ Doc. Lee said while nodding her head seems she waiting for this moment.

I took a deep breath and look around before I speak “pardon me if I am wrong but I guess I figure it all out are you planning to expand the discoveries of its medicinal claims?’’ I ask without hesitation since I am known to be like that she smiled at me that moment I knew it I was right. “Indeed, Miss Ramirez is right, if the flower is used to restore placenta and also for regaining strength in men and may cure fever. Why couldn’t we expand it ability by studying its specimen?” mahabang paliwanag nito “so in what terms we could use that for?’’ out of nowhere I voiced it out.

That made me gain all the attention in the room “I am glad you ask. So here is the main purpose of this code red meeting, if the claims is restored part of body that have been gone, why can’t we try to use it as an ingredients to restore someone senses a part a brain that completely gone or being invaded by virus” she said na syang nagpa gimbal saaming lahat I know na unti unti na nilang nakukuha ang nais mangyari ni doc. Lee “the school org, will conduct a research to find cure against rabies using this specimen, in this way we are about to figure out what can our team do more than our record and I am expecting you to join our biggest project” after her statement my hand started to shake I know deep in my heart that our paths will cross soon the moment i waited for so long.
