When the Mentee Becomes The Mentor

He did not told me he will be visiting Cebu, always as he is the stubborn and silent man. I always look up to him as someone brave but at the same time fragile as well. He slept on his bed for two days without waking up and four bags of type O+ blood have been given to him (thanks to one of my friend who knows someone from RC). He looks like an octopus with all the plastic tubes surrounding him, As I stand behind the glass wall to watch him sleep a very good and sound sleep, I cannot manage to help but laugh sometimes: "The man who mentored me sometimes does not use his brain." He told me to be very critical in everything but look at him now, I know he do things which he think is right and defending that girl form those hoodlooms without first calling the cops or even calling me so that I can take a piece of the action was both a stupid and a right move.

An unsung hero, but sometimes crazy. He was outnumbered 7 to 1, on day 2 around 3 pm he woke up and he saw me. I know he was shock because he cannot move and worse he cannot talk, he just gave me a very scary look, like a monster ready to attack. The nurse came in and settled him down, I cannot hear what she is talking to him but I know by his facial expression he was shocked. Then he continued to stare at me, 2 hours later, he can move the fingers of his right hand and guess what he just gave me one of the best thank you signs in the world, his middle finger. I waved my hand and decided to go home and visit him the next day.

Day 3, his room was noisy he was yelling about where is his mobile phone, "Oh I am really gonna choke you dead if you can't bring me my mobile" he yelled at the nurse, the doctor came in, crossed his hand and said something that made him behave. He can move his right arm now and his legs, he can roll around his ICU bed and shout...I came to him and he said to me "Kid, you know how scared I am of the hospital! Give your mentor a favor and get me out here!" I smiled at him "sorry sir NO CAN DO." I said, and he was furious,,"JERK I AM SO GONNA TWIST YOUR NECK!" he said to me..deep inside I am happy, seeing him like a little boy strapped on a bed and at the same time doing my revenge...vengeance is served!

GET WELL SOON BOSS! Your a brave man!
