Uncle.

"How did you found out?" Calvin ask his cousin after a long while. 

Patrick stands up and goes to his table and get something. When he comes back he's holding now a handkerchief that same as what he's keeping with him for quite a long time now. 

"Kaye gave us this on our graduation day. It may look like an ordinary handkerchief but if you look closely the broidery on it tells you why. Her Mom made this for her and she kept it like a treasure. When I receive one, I know I already saw a thing like this. Then I remember that one late night you come to dad and ask him to treat your hand." Patrick pause for a while and pour some tea on their cups. 

"At first I thought it was just an ordinary wound. But when I saw your hand wrapped in cloth with stains of blood I got curious. You never into fight. I know you may not be a good fighter but you're not bad either. What puzzled me that time is when you ask dad to don't cut or ruin the cloth that serves as a bandage in your hand. Instead you still keep it despite the fact that it's already useless because of the blood stain on it." 

"You should be a Detective instead of Psychologist. You have a great observation don't you know that?" Calvin sneer on his cousin. 

"You already know that I used to dream of becoming a police someday but for what I am before, everyone believes that I'm not fit on that profession. So I decided to pursue Medicine as my second option." Patrick said looking at him. 

"Who are those guys who tried to do that to her?" Calvin knows that looks on his cousin. He's asking him to tell what happened back then. 

"Those guys who assaulted Kaye are all his suitors. Kaye is a scholar and a dean's lister that time. Not to mention she's pretty. She's not interested in anything especially boys. Even your brother didn't dare to Court her coz he knew very well it will just ruin their friendship."  

"In short Kelvin really like her?" 

"Of all the girls in the campus who chase after your brother, he only fancy Kaye very much. From that time when he saw Kaye treating you he keeps on stalking at her." Patrick cackle when he recall those silly things his cousin did just to know her name. "He even really ask Uncle to do anything so Kaye will enter the same university as us. In return your brother will take his studies seriously, and he did!. Your brother graduated as second to the highest in his field." 

"Now I get it.." Calvin only answer.

"So? Care to tell me what happened? Why are you in that place at that hour?" 

"Nothing.. I was on my way home and took that way for a short trip when my car broke. I saw them harassing her. At first I want to ignore them and call the cops instead. But I heard them mention Kelvin's name and saying that girl is his girlfriend. So.. Before someone's life ruined because of my brother I decided to step in and save the damsel in distress."

"Knight in shining armor huh." Patrick cackle. "Kelvin didn't know that side of the stories. Those guys are also his teammates in basketball. You know your brother is a star player, an MVP of the team. When those guys pick a fight on him, the couch and the committee give favor to Kelvin and kick those guys out of the team. If Kelvin found out that he's the reason of what happened to Kaye I'm sure… " Patrick cut his words on purpose. Because he knows if he continue talking he will cross the boundary. 

"Sure of what?" Calvin got curious. He knows his cousin still have something to say. 

"Oh.. That's nothing. Say you want to watch how the doctors perform the surgery here?" Obviously Patrick changed the topic. 

Calvin finished his tea "No thanks. I'm not like you and Kelvin who's interested on opening human's body and study all their internal organs? No thanks." He stood up. "I need to go now. See you at my parents house later." He patted his cousin's shoulder and head on to the door. 

"OK.. See yah!!"

When the nurse show to Queen who's the one looking for her. She saw a handsome guy on the nurse station busy chatting with the on duty nurse there. Queen can say it's more on flirting than chatting based on how those nurse blush and giggle on the guy in front of them. Queen rub her forehead with her palm. Starting now her quiet days is really gone. 

"Stop bothering our nurses here. We have a lot of patients that needs their attention more than you do." She said approaching on them. "And you guys.. Aren't you have a rounds to do at this hour?" Upon saying this the nurses hurriedly pick up their things and do their job. 

"Dear your so uptight!! Loosen up a bit will you?" The guy patted her head. 

"What are you doing here…. Uncle?" She said giving more stress on the word Uncle. He pulled him on her favorite spot on the lobby. 

"Ouch.. Why every time you call me that I feel so old now." The man joke to her touching his own chest. 

"Coz you're really is old now. Honestly Uncle I'm still waiting for the day to come you settled down and stop fooling around. Can you just get married and have your own family?" 

"Ow.. C'mon Queen we only have each other in this world. How can you say that. You know I can't leave you alone. I can marry anytime I want. That's the difference between a man and a woman when it comes to marrying someone." 

"Then why don't you get married now and stop using me as an excuse for fooling around." 

"I told you.. Get married and give me grandchildren first and I'm willing to give up my freedom." 

"You know I can't!. I already married twice but both failed. They just left me whenever they found out my condition." 

"Because you marry the wrong person!! And it's so ashamed to call them a man. They're nothing but a d*ck head rascals. They don't really love you. They don't know how to care for you. They don't understand you at all." 

Queen didn't answer. Whenever her married life is the topic of the conversation, she can't help but ask silently. Why? Why to her? She didn't do anything against anyone. She all treat people fair and well. How come she's suffering on that condition now? She didn't do anything that will make those guys to do that to her. 

After almost being rape not just once but twice. I thought she was fine since every time that incident happened she's been save on time. She can still get along well with her friends after the incident. She didn't even have nightmares about it. But everything changes when she got married to her first husband. On their first wedding night she got scared and she doesn't really know why. She's trembling really hard like she's having a convulsion. 

When her husband touched her she scream that made him so shock. He didn't force her. He asks her to sleep saying maybe she's just tired and leave her alone. After a week then months her reaction still the same whenever her husband trying to have sexual moments to her on their bed. Kissing and hugging is fine with her but when he touches her with intimacy, her body react exaggeratedly against it. 

Until she decides to consult a doctor. And the only person she knew that will never judge her is her friend's boyfriend and a son of the owner of the big hospital where she's working. It's none other than Patrick.
