Nag iba agad ang reaksiyon ng mukha ko. "Tsk. It cannot be, I will just message Manang to bring medicine here." I opened my phone and went to my messages to message Manang Silvia, our maid, to bring medicine for Angelo. Good to know, Manang Silvia was using her phone right now so she immediately replied to me back.

"Your medicine is on its way. Pahinga ka muna, let's go to your room." I said and stand.

"No, don't be bothered. I'm okay here, really." Pagpupumilit pa ni Angelo.

"Stand." I said in my coldest voice. Napatingin si Angelo saakin at tumayo nalang, halatang walang choice.

We walked towards the guest room where Angelo's belongings were. Nakasunod lang ako sa likod niya. I was really worried about him because he felt so hot when I touched his forehead and neck earlier. Just holding him for a second felt like touching a hot surface.

Upon entering his room, I noticed how organized his things were. It seemed like he had been living here for a long time and not just a guest because his belongings were neatly arranged in their respective places. Ang bango pa ng kwarto. He was busy earlier but he still managed to organize his things here.

When Angelo lay down on his bed, I adjusted the comforter for him. I stood up and lowered the aircon temperature so he wouldn't feel too cold.

"You can go back down stairs, hayaan-"

"I will take care of you, let's just wait for Manang Silvia to come over here para makainom kana ng gamot mo." Umupo ako sa gilid ng kama malapit kay Angelo at chineck ang messages ko dahil may nag message.

From Denz:

Hi, my Monic. We're leaving now. Ayaw mo ba kaming ihatid?

To Denz:

I will go there. Wait for me.

I looked at Angelo and noticed that his lips were pale. Kinakabahan na'ko, dalhin ko nalang kaya siya sa hospital? It seems like he's already sleeping, his eyes are closed. I stood up slowly so as not to wake him and walked towards the door.

"Where are you going?" My eyes widened as I heard Angelo's voice. I turned to him, his eyes still closed while his right hand rested on his forehead.

"Oh, you're awake. I will just go downstairs. Aalis na daw sila Denz, ihahatid ko lang sila sa labas. I noticed his eyes suddenly opened as I answered his question.

He forced himself to sit up in bed. Napansin kong nahihirapan siya kay diretso akong lumapit at inalalayan siyang umupo.

"Why do you want to get up? Just rest for a while." I said with concern in my voice.

"Sama." Walang preno na sabi niya.

"Sama ako." There was a pleading tone in his voice.

"Ha? Anong sama, hindi pwede. May sakit ka-"

"Hindi naman yung sakit ko ang maglalakad, e. Please?" He insisted, looking up at me with pleading eyes.

"Ihahatid ko lang naman sila. You wait here and I'll come back quickly." I said while brushing the back of Angelo's head with my fingers.

"Babalik ako kaagad, okay?" I said, about to stand up when Angelo grabbed my wrist.
