Enigmatic Love

Chapter 54

"Sandee's late father's cornea. He voice his request to me when he heard a lot about you from Sandee. Since he knew he had no chance to survive the disease he had, but, still, he had healthy eyes. I was the one doing all the test needed to compare the size and the shape of the cornea and with yours and you were lucky. It matches your cornea. And the day you were brought to the hospital was also the day he died. We didn't want to wait long for your operation, so we ask for Tee's signature while you were unconscious."

Hearing Kimmon, Copter was giving them unreadable expression. Truthfully, he actually was dumbstruck with that fact. He didn't do much for Sandee, seriously he hasn't.

"Cop, we want you to know that his father didn't expect anything from you. He was really appreciated how you treat Sandee, and when he decided to donor his cornea for you, was all because he thinks he can do it. He wanted to do a good thing one last time before he leaves for good, and that was giving you his cornea."

Yihwa was the one telling that to Copter, seeing how the whole fact makes Copter confused, or maybe, feel bad? She wasn't sure, but she knew whatever it was, it wasn't really a good thing, though not necessarily a bad thing.

"I...umm...I wanted to rest early tonight. Bas, can you please guide me to the bed? Don't worry guys, I just....I just need time to accept this...and Sandee... I just...I need time, that's all I need. Please."

"It's okay, Cop. We understand. Don't worry. Bas, please." Tae had said that make Bas holding Copter's hand right away, guiding him to the bed.

"Then, we are leaving now, Cop. We will come back tomorrow with breakfast. Whatever it is, know that we care about you, and all we want is for you to get better." Tee was saying before the four of them leaving Bas and Copter alone.

"P....." Bas was starting to call Copter, but Copter cut his attempt to continue talking. "Bas, if I ask you to leave me too, will you hate me?"

"I will never hate you, P'Cop. You know I love you so much. But as much as I want to do what you say, I don't want to leave you alone. I will stay here, P, but I promise you, I will not say anything. Let me watch you and be here with you silently. I know your mind was having a jumble right now, so please, let me be here for you at least, P."

Copter was nodding his head while lying on the bed, while Bas was never intending to turn his eyes away from his love. He was worried, and he missed the guy so much. Right now, he was fighting so hard the urge to pull his P'Cop into his embrace, since he knows his P'Cop needs his alone time right now. He hopes Copter would open up to him, but he was willing to wait. He knows, Copter will be opened up to him, if not now, he will, later.

".....Bas, Bas, please, don't go." Bas heard the voice of his love from afar in his sleep, making him open his eyes slowly only to see, Copter's turning right to left with his hand hanging, like he was trying to reach something, making Bas jolted up from the chair he was sitting on, coming closer to Cop right away taking Copter's cold hand into his hold. While taking the hands, he was also patting on Copter's shoulder, trying to wake him up.

"P, I'm here. I'm not going anywhere. P...wake up, P." After a few more constant persuading, only then Copter was jolted up, sitting on the bed. Feeling Bas's hold on his hand, he pulled Bas tight in his hugs.

"Bas, please, please, don't leave me. Please." Bas was frowning hearing Copter's words. He was trying to pry away from the hugs, but the hugs were so tight that he was giving up on that idea, but he was rubbing Copter's back up and down instead. "P, I don't know what you dream of, what nightmare haunting you, but you need to know, never a second in my life I would want to leave you. I did leave you once, and I've been in h*ll since then. Now, I got you back, I'll be dead, if I lose you once again, P. So, yes, I will never ever leave you again, P."

When Copter finally loosens the hugs, he was rubbing Bas's face everywhere, before pulling him for a kiss, and a deep one. It took them a few minutes, for the kiss, and then their forehead on each other. "I was afraid, once you were back with your family, you will leave me behind. I was so scared and terrified. I thought if I took time, I could prepare myself, but I don't think I ever could at this point, Bas."

"I don't want you to, P. I'm sorry you had to experience that one time, but I will never," Bas then pushed Copter's chin so that he can turn up facing him, "You hear me, I will never leave you again. Ever. You are mine, and I am yours." Bas then kissed Copter's nose, and Copter pulled him back in his hugs, but instead of his head on Bas's shoulder, his face was drowning in Bas's chest, with his hand on Bas's waist.

"Why do you look like shit?" Wayo was the one who happened to arrive earlier than everybody else. Phana had gone to work, and he had asked Phana to drop him off at the hospital only to see black-eyed bags under Bas's eyes.

Bas was shushing Wayo and had pulled him to sit on the couch so that they would have a conversation a little bit far away from Copter's bed.

"Control your volume. P'Cop just falls asleep. He was having a nightmare in the middle of the night, waking up crying. But I was able to calm him down from crying, but somehow, he was shaking through the night, couldn't able to fall asleep again, though he keeps muttering he was okay and ask me to sleep."

"Why? What happened?"Wayo was asking Bas. "We talked about transplant last night, and we did tell him about Sandee's father." Bas was stopping in the middle of it, making Wayo frowning. "So?" Bas was deep in thoughts that he couldn't really hear Wayo's question.

"Hmm? Ahh yeah, I wasn't sure, but I guess, I was one of the many reasons he was like that." Wayo's face was scrunched up more with that answer.

But then, suddenly, Bas had turn around walking away from Wayo slowly, making Wayo holding on to his wrist. "Where are you going?" Wayo asked.

Without turning to Wayo, and just only looking at the sleeping figure of Copter on the bed, Bas answered. "Sleep. I missed him."

Hearing that, Wayo loosened his hold and just watch how Bas walk slowly then lying beside Copter carefully, hugging him from outside the blanket. Within seconds, Bas had fallen asleep too, making Wayo scratching his un-itchy head, confused with the scene that happened just now.

When Tae and Tee arrived a few minutes later with breakfast in their hands, Wayo was giving them a signal to be quiet, making Tae and Tee frowning. Taking the food in their hands, and put it on the coffee table in front of the couch, Wayo pushed both of the guys outside the wardroom.

"What happened?" Tee was the first to ask. "I don't understand either, but I think, they both need time to be alone and talk. It seems... just..... let's come back later at lunch, okay? They will be awake by that time since they just sleep now." Answered Wayo.
