The Specialist

Long Distance Relationship

The days passed by and I still miss him a lot. I don't know why I'm feeling this way, but i really want to see him every day like we always do. We talk by cellphone and videocall, but still I'm not satisfied with the way we communicate with each other.

Today, a new cardiologist came to St. Monica, replacing the position of Dr. Charles. He is tall, smart and handsome. One day at the Cafeteria..

Hi, can I sit here? he said.

Sure, have a seat doc. I said.

While we were eating our meal, I asked him some personal things about myself as well as him. That day, we started to talk regularly and chat by messenger. He had a high sense of humor and every girl in the hospital liked the way he talked. He is a very smart and approachable doctor.

Von is always busy with his work and has no time for me these past had days. But I try to be busy too with my work so that I will forget him. Until one day, our team have an out-of-town team building on a beach resort in which everyone is so excited to be there.

Hi, are you going to our team building this weekend? Dr. Gary said to me.

Yeah, of course, I said.

Von called me that day and said, Hi Jenny, I have something to say.

Yes, what is it? I said.

I'm sorry Jenny, but I will be getting married in two days from now. I don't want to lie to you. Von said.

Huh? What? I said and cried silently. I turned off my phone and don't talk to him anymore.

I just want to be alone and think about what happened to us.

My colleagues called me to say that today is the team building. I rushed to pack up my things and find what to wear in our team building. I almost forgot everything after what happened to me. I forgot the things that I would do for that week. I think I need to cheer up and fix myself. Now, I am ready to go to the team building and to unwind myself for everything that happens. I pray that sooner or later i can be happy too and find myself with the one I love.

Hi there I'm here. Lets Go! I said to my colleagues. Where have you been? You have been so silent these past few days. Dr. Gary said.

Nothing. I just want to be alone by myself. I said.

Oh I see. Maybe you have broken up with your boyfriend. Dr. Gary said and laughed.

I just smile and keep on silent.

And then we are now arrived here at the beautiful beach where deep blue sky and cool waves strike my eyes. This place is so amazing. I said. I walked alone on the side of the beach where the white sand touched my soft feet, which made me feel relaxed and comfortable that day. In a little while, I feel so calm and refreshed with the place. A place that has never been there before. Well, the touch of time will heal all wounds and scars will be covered with happiness someday. I need to be strong for myself and my family. I need to fix myself more than anything before I fall in love again.
