CHAPTER 30

After office hours, Maya quickly left her office and rode the elevator. She quickly hailed a taxi and gave Richard’s address. Hearing his voice from the phone call calmed her nerves a little but she is still worried. She kept texting him after their call, monitoring his temperature but most of the time, Richard would reply late. Maya knew that it is because Richard is sleeping and she’s just disturbing him. After some more texts, she decided to stop texting him and to just wait until her work is done.

As soon as she arrived at the Lim’s residence, the gates opened, startling her. The black Benz of the Lim’s came into view. She saw that it was Joma who’s driving. The man stopped the car at the sight of her and opened his window to stick his head out.

“Maya, napadaan ka ata. Wala pa sina Sir Roberto eh.”  He said.

“Hindi sila yung sadya ko Kuya Joma eh. Si .. si Richard daw nilalagnat?” she said.

“Ah, oo.” He said, and then he opened his door to go out, then he opened the back door at his side. “Samahan mo nga ako Maya.”

“Saan?”

Joma’s face suddenly became worried, and then he turned his head to look inside the car. Maya followed his gaze and it was only then that she saw that Richard is seating at the back. “Dadalhin ko sa ospital si Sir. Nag-aalala na si Manang. Wala rin naman si Ma’am Esme, may pinuntahan kasi.”

Hearing Joma’s explanation, Maya nodded and quickly went near the car, sitting at the back with Richard. She felt the car move as Joma returned inside and drove off.

Maya stared at Richard who’s sleeping, his head leaning on the head board of the back seat.  She was not really expecting that Richard would be so pale. Maya lifted her hand to feel Richard’s neck and forehead. He’s too hot.

“Kuya Joma, malayo pa ba?” she asked.

“Medyo eh. Traffic pa.” Joma said.

Maya turned her attention back to the man beside her. She reached for his hand and she was surprised on how cold it is. She lifted Richard’s hand to her lips to kiss it. And when she did, Richard’s eyes fluttered open.

“Maya?” he whispered.

“Shh. Matulog ka na lang ulit. Nasa sasakyan ka. Dadalhin ka na ni Kuya Joma sa ospital.” She worriedly said.

“No. I’m okay at home.” He said.

“Richard, wag nang makulit okay? Kailangan mo ‘to.  Ang taas kaya ng lagnat mo, kaya wag nang matigas ang ulo ha? Ang daming nag-aalala sa kondisyon mo –“

“And you’re of them?” he finished her sentence. Even though he’s feeling bad, a part of his memory came back. He clearly remembers those lines being said by him. He wants to rewind his memory but he just couldn’t for his headache is getting the best of him.

Maya stilled for a moment, then she nodded her head. “Oo, nag-aalala na ko. Magpacheck-up ka na ha?”

Richard tried to give her a smile. “Okay.” Then he closed his eyes again to sleep. He opened them again when he felt arms around his and a head on his shoulder. It was Maya, cuddled to him. He couldn’t help to smile at the sight of her. She’s really worried. With his head pounding, he put his head on top of hers and drifted off to sleep.
