The President's Daughter (Major Editing)

Chapter 33 - Care

Aiah's POV:

I woke up and checked my phone, it's already 7 pm. I also checked Mikha, naka-ayos na siya ng higa habang nakasideview lang ako.

Medyo bumaba ng onti yung lagnat niya and it's a good sign na rin.

It's evening so I need to cook her a food. Nagpaalam na rin ako kay Mom and Dad na mag-overnight kela Mikha at pumayag naman ito.

I checked her fridge and may mga gulay dito. Naisipan kong magluto nalang ng tinola para may mahigop siyang sabaw.

I picked some onions, garlic, ginger, chayote, chicken, and moringa leaves.  After that, I started cooking our food.

Buti nalang naturuan ako ni Mommy magluto, advantage na rin siguro dahil may restaurant kami.

I waited for our food to be cooked. Mukhang malapit na maluto kaya lumapit na agad ako sa pwesto ni Mikha para gisingin ito.

I lowered down my legs and just stared at her. Good thing she didn't had her nightmare.

"You've always protect and care for us. Pwede bang alagaan mo rin sarili mo?" I said while caressing her head.

"You're special to me, so please don't be hard on yourself. We may not have a good first interaction. But here we are now, each other's sanctuary." I was just talking to her why she's asleep.

I checked her temperature again by using the back of my hand. Seems like she's getting better.

I don't know what came to my mind and kissed her on the forehead. Hindi naman siya nagising kaya okay lang. Baka mang-asar pa 'to pag nalaman niya.

"Mikha, gising na. Kakain na." I said while tapping her left cheek softly.

Kumunot muna ang noo niya bago imulat ang mata.

I helped her to sit up para makakain siya ng maayos. Ako na ang nagpakain sa kanya para hindi na siya mahirapan.

"What happened to you ba? Sa dinami-dami ng pwedeng tulugan, bakit doon pa?" I said pagkatapos ito abutan ng tubig.

Mikha: "I'm just so tired kaya napalalim yung tulog ko na even rain can't wake me up, and besides, sleeping under a tree with a peaceful view is like living in your dreams."

"And why are you so tired?"

Mikha: "I slept late because I have to do something."

"What is that something? Eh 'di ba nung sunday pa natin natapos mag-edit ng vlog natin. So what did you do?"

Mikha: "Bastaaa."

"Okay, since ayaw mo sabihin. I'll stay here 'til tomorrow para mabantayan ka kasi baka may 'something' ka na namang gawin."

Mikha: "I'm not a kid anymore." Sambit nito at umirap.

"Yep, you're not. More like a baby." Pang-aasar ko rito.

Mikha: "Baby mo."

"HA?!"

Mikha: "Hatdog."

"Ibuhos ko sayo 'tong soup eh." I said and wala ng nagsalita sa aming dalawa.

I gave her meds after we ate our food and umupo lang sa sofa para magpahinga.

Mikha: "Thank you for taking care of me."

"Kahit sino naman gagawin 'yon."

Mikha: "Hindi rin. I'm too cold and the whole university knows that."
