A Certain Someone: Chapter 46 - Sick Leave

The school's hidden corner was serene, the ramp flanked by tall trees and flowering vines. Jiang Tian carried Sheng Wang on his back, carefully navigating the path.

"Bakit hindi mo na lang bitawan?" tanong ni Jiang Tian habang sinisilip siya sa likod.

Naramdaman ni Sheng Wang ang pagkakahiya. "Kasi... nakakahiya."

Nagtawanan si Jiang Tian. "Nakakahiya? Nakita na kitang gumagawa ng somersaults sa harap ng lahat. Ito, maliit na bagay lang."

Napabuntung-hininga si Sheng Wang. "Pride lang 'to. At... ayokong maging pabigat."

Nakangiti si Jiang Tian ng malumanay. "Eh, hindi ka naman pabigat. Nandito lang ako para sa'yo."

Sheng Wang let out a small, appreciative smile. "Thanks."

As they moved along, Sheng Wang's head rested gently on Jiang Tian's shoulder. The warmth of his back was surprisingly comforting. "Are you tired?" Sheng Wang asked after a while.

"Not at all," Jiang Tian replied. "But you seem pretty stiff. How about you? Feeling any better?"

Sheng Wang's voice softened. "It's a bit better now. Your back's really warm."

Jiang Tian's smile widened. "Glad to hear that. We're almost there."

They reached the infirmary, where Vince, the handsome male teacher, was busy with his phone. He looked up as the door opened.

"What happened?" Vince asked, stepping over to help.

Sheng Wang hopped off Jiang Tian's back, wincing slightly. "I tripped over a hurdle."

Vince grinned. "Looks like the hurdles got their revenge."

Jiang Tian raised an eyebrow. "Where's Teacher Claire?"

"she's getting some medicine," Vince said. "I'll help in the meantime."

Teacher claire arrived shortly, carrying a couple of boxes and a plate of throat lozenges. She examined Sheng Wang's ankle with care. "Does it hurt to move?"

Tinesting ni Sheng Wang ang paa niya. "Medyo."

Tumango si Claire. "Namagang kaunti, pero walang nabaling buto. Kailangan mo lang magpahinga at inumin 'to."

Habang tinitignan ang gamot, ngumiti si Sheng Wang. "Isang ointment lang, sapat na?"

Natawa si Claire. "Hindi 'yan body lotion. Gamitin mo lang kung saan kailangan."

Habang naghahanda na silang umalis, napansin ni Sheng Wang ang sick leave form at tiningnan ito nang may pagtataka. "Ano nakasulat?"

Binasa ni Jiang Tian, "Kailangan mong magpahinga sa bahay nang 15 araw."

Umiling si Sheng Wang. "Ayos lang ako sa dorm."

Tumaas ang kilay ni Claire. "Paano mo haharapin ang anim na baitang ng hagdan? Paano 'yung pagpunta sa banyo?"

Sheng Wang hesitated. "I didn't think about that."

Vince added, "Living at home is easier. You live in the city, right?"

Sheng Wang nodded, looking at Jiang Tian. Their eyes met, and Sheng Wang saw a hint of concern.

Kinuha ni Jiang Tian ang kanyang telepono at tumawag. "Papasundo kita kay Uncle Chen."

Nakangiting pinanood sila ni Vince. "Teka, close talaga kayo ah."

Ngumiti si Sheng Wang. "Oo nga, close talaga kami."

Sa bahay, tinrato si Sheng Wang ng masarap na pagkain ni Auntie San at maalagang pag-aasikaso ni Aunt Lea. Habang pinapakita ni Lea ang kanyang effort sa pag-aalaga, nakaramdam si Sheng Wang ng halong pasasalamat at konting guilt. Napagtanto niya kung gaano kahalaga ang bawat alaga at pag-aasikaso sa kanya.

One evening, while resting, Sheng Wang thought about how much he missed Jiang Tian's presence. The days felt longer and quieter without him.

Kinuha niya ang kanyang telepono at nag-type ng mensahe. "Hoy, miss na kita."

As he sent the message, he smiled, knowing that even though he was surrounded by care, it was the presence of someone special that he truly missed.
