enjoy
Tampohin Trinity
“So you figure out why she’s been ignoring us” Yolanda appears next to Baran. They just got down assessing a trauma when Yolanda finally (she’s been waiting for it) got called to consulate.
Fortunately, for her the attending was Narren and it gave her a chance to talk to her about their current situation.
“No, she has been really short with me and every time I try to talk to her she hurries to a patient” Baran sighs. She has been trying to get a read out of Trinity since this morning but with how busy the hospital gets it's been proven hard.
“She was fine last morning what could have possibly gone wrong” Yolanda questioned, yesterday both her and Baran had work while Trinity had a day off and that means a whole day of possibilities of anything that could have happened to cause Trinity to be in a mood.
She tried thinking of last night but she was too tired to even remember what she did and was operating on auto pilot mode so did she say or do something that upset her girl. She couldn’t recall.
“I asked Whitaker if anything happened when Trinity got some of her things at their apartment yesterday but he said that Trinity seems fine to him” Baran recalls.
“Trinity seeming fine can mean a lot of things" Yolanda points out.
Their convo was cut short when Baran got pulled into a trauma and Yolanda got paged to the OR but their whole convo didn’t go unheard.
Princess made her way straight to Perlah “pssst may na kwento ba sayo si Santos?”
(did santos told you anything lately?)
Perlah looked confused but intrigued. “Wala naman, Bakit? Ano chismis?”
(Not really, Why? What’s the gossip?)
“Ganito kasi. Yung dalawa narinig ko kanina para ba mga ewan, siguro nagtatampo yung isa jan”
(It’s like this. Those two I heard just now acting weird, I’m certain the other one is upset)
This cause Perlah to perk up “Ano kaya?, Mga gawa ka tayo betting board” (Wonder what it is?, let’s make a beating board)
“You know I can hear you both” Both nurse turn around to see an unamused Trinity across the station.
Both nurses look at each with an amusing look and quickly approach Santos.
“So bakit ka niya mga tatampo sa dalawa?” Princess asked. (So why are you sulking at the two?)
“Sino nga tatampo? hindi ako nagtatampo” Trinity stress (who’s sulking? i’m not sulking)
“weh, hindi nya”
(weh, really?)
“hind nya!”
(no)
Trinity got up and quickly walk out both woman look with amusement and then at each other both in agreement that Trinity was clearly upset so they’re going to meddle because Trinity was almost like a younger sister to them their bunso and she also reminded them of their nieces so if the girl was upset because her girlfriends did something they’re not going to stay out of it.
So it was decided princess was gonna talk to Baran and Perlah is going to pester Trinity for more information.
“So trouble in paradise” Princess said out of nowhere as she sat beside Baran who was charting.
Baran rise an eyebrow she was not one to gossip at work nor talk about her relationship while working
but the way Princess was looking at her….
Baran sighs “You know I should really do something about the gossip mill around here”
“Oh please, I know you love it when Trinity relays everything to you.
“Well as attending you gotta to know things”
“Sure” Princess says “So what going on?”
“I don’t know? it’s Trinity” Baran paused
“She’s seems upset” Baran continued.
“What did you two do?” Princess ask with no accusation tone just a genuine question although Baran could tell that she was slightly amused by all of this.
Baran didn’t answer; she wasn’t sure what she did or didn’t do.
“She’s tampo-ing ok”
“Tampoing?” Baran echoed.
“Tampo it’s tagalog she’s upset because you two did something”
“Well how are we supposed to know and make it up to here if she won’t tell us?” Baran asked
“You don’t have to know, you just have to suyo and lambing her”
“I’m not following”
“Just do things she’ll love, make her favourite meal, pamper her, be more touchy” Princess began to list.
Baran was about to say something.
“Not like that but it could work too but maybe a bit later when everything is well” Princess interrupted her before she could ask.
“Just be affectionate and wait for her to fold, usually it’s probably something really silly” Princess says just right before she got pulled to see a patient. Which gave Baran a moment to think.
“Wait? So how are we supposed to make it up to here? When we don’t know what we did wrong or even know if we did something wrong?” Baran just told Yolanda what Princess told her and understandably she’s a little confused.
“What if? she upset cause Whitaker ate all her avocados again”
“Trust me if it’s Whitaker we would know about it and Princess was sure about it”
“So what? Do we just kiss her and feed her? Yolanda asks with speculation.
Baran nods
“That seems easy? Yolanda said unsure.
It is, but sometimes it’s the easiest one that gets the job done.
End?
