Malacañang Palace – Master's Bedroom

'Alin ang masakit?'

Ferdinand asked Imelda with full concern

It hasn't been a day since they came out from the hospital and he was already thinking of rushing her back there

'Hindi... '

'Humapdi lang yung sa tiyan ko'

Ferdinand is still not convinced. He is still on the floor in front of Imelda looking her straight in her eyes

'Baka kailangan na kita ibalik sa hospital?'

Imelda just smiled at him then touched his face

'I'm alright'

'Humapdi lang talaga'

She assured him

'At saka, ayoko don...'

'Mas gagaling ako dito... kasama mo'

Ferdinand just closed his eyes at his wife's word and nuzzle his face to her palm

'Will you be fine here while I get everything ready?'

Imelda just nodded

'Yes, pero, pwede paki bigay mo muna sakin yung pain killer?'

Ferdinand stood up and went to get her the pain killer before giving it to her

'Saglit lang ako. Bibilisan ko lang ang pag-ayos'

He first fetches the first aid kits then prepared her a bowl of warm water and a towel. He placed it in their nightstand before he grabbed her night gown

Imelda is only watching Ferdinand moving in and out of the bathroom

She really is grateful for having such a loving and caring husband. A nurse is supposed to attend to her medical needs, but Ferdinand insisted that he can takes care of her during bedtime, he will only need a nurse for her during the day where he would need to work. Although she appreciates his intentions, she knows that it's too much of a burden for him. He'll be working all day and yet, he will still work by taking care of her during the night, he needs to rest too! But Ferdinand being Ferdinand, just insisted that he would gladly do it. That it will make him feel better to see everything for himself without asking for the nurses of her condition and progress

'Everything's ready'

'Tatanggalin ko muna yung cast mo then, I'll help you with your clothes'

Imelda only smiled at him then made herself properly situated by the edge of the bed sitting

Ferdinand slowly got down on his knees and started to first remove her shoes before kissing each of her toes on both her feet and massaging it after

Imelda doesn't really understand why he does it all the time. She asked him before about it, he said, he just likes doing it. Not that she doesn't like it, it's just ticklish. And there are more things that he does to her, to her body specifically, that really puzzles her. His touches and actions whenever they're doing their lovemaking. She feels being worshipped by Ferdinand. Like she's some kind of a Goddess worthy of all the love and passion and everything in this world. He made her a princess when they first got married, then later a queen when he became the president of the Philippines
