The Truth Is Not True

Chapter 60 - Sweet

Colet's POV:

I just got out of the shower. It's been a month since we both returned from Zürich. We were now staying in her condo space together.

She doesn't want me to stay at home while I'm recovering because she thinks I'm stubborn and won't take the medicine on time or, worse, won't take it at all.

Because when we were still in Zürich, we frequently argued and quarreled mostly to force me to take medicine.

Flashback...

Jhoanna: “What do you think you're doing?!” She exclaimed when she caught me going to throw the medicine in the trash. All I know is that she walked out of the room to go grab something. I didn't expect her to return right away. She noticed that I was about to spit the pills into the trash. So I got caught in the act.

Jhoanna: “Sinasabi ko talaga sa'yo, Nicolette. Mapipisil ko talaga 'yang pisngi mo ng sobra kapag iniluwa mo 'yan!” Her voice echoed throughout the room. So in surprise, instead of spitting it out, I swallowed the medicine. Nakakagulat naman 'tong babaeng 'to.

She walked over to my seat and glared at me. I earned a hard hit on my neck from her when she got near me.

“ARAY! Yung batok ko!” I complained to her. But she pinched my cheek and pulled me to the bed.

Jhoanna: “Napakatigas talaga ng ulo mo noh?! Why are you throwing away the medicine?!”

“I didn't throw it naman ah. I swallowed it kaya.”

Jhoanna: “Talagang pinipilit mo pa ding magpalusot kahit huli ka na sa akto noh?! Napakadaldal mo talaga kahit kailan!”

“Eh why do I still need medicine pa ba? I'm already fine naman, Babu.”

Jhoanna: “Didn't you hear what the doctor said?”

“The doctor always says something, Jho. After the tests, puro gamot lang naman ang pinapainom nila. Kahit magpacheck-up ka, gamot pa din ibibigay nila. What if sila ang uminom ng gamot ko? Pahirap sila eh.” I complained that made me earn a hard pinched on my other cheek.

Jhoanna: “Ayan! Professional ka dyan, sa pagrereklamo! What if sumunod ka nalang para hindi dumugo 'yang sugat mo?”

“I'm not feeling any pain naman na ah.”

Jhoanna: “Che! Starting today, ako na magpapainom sa'yo ng gamot para makampante akong walang nasasayang na gamot. Ang tanda-tanda mo na, ang hirap mo pa ring painumin ng gamot!”

“Ang sungit naman na nurse nito.”  I utter in a low voice.

Jhoanna: “Oh ano na naman 'yan?! Nagrereklamo ka ba?!” She asked. She's really pissed off while glaring at me sharply as if her eyebrows will connect.

“Ang sabi ko, ang ganda mo talaga 'pag nagsusungit ka. You looked bossy but hot kamo, pakiss nga!” I lied to her and showed off a smirk.

She grabbed the nearest pillow on the bed and throw it straight on my face. Good thing I'm aware of her movements.

Jhoanna: “Ewan ko sa'yo! Kausapin mo 'yang unan mo.” I stood up to hug her and pulled her arm to take all her body weight and fell on the bed with me.

Jhoanna: “Jusko naman, Nicolette! Napakaligalig mo, baka matamaan 'yang sugat mo!”

But I didn't let go of her, instead I hugged her even more. I was lying on the bed with my feet on the floor. While Jhoanna was on top of my body facing me.
