R: *groans and slowly opens his eyes when he feels M stir beside him and touch his forehead* Love? *tries to sit up*

M: Sssshhhh... Pahinga ka lang diyan. I'll get the thermometer. *kisses his forehead, carefully slips out of bed and goes to the bathroom, returns with the thermometer and a wet washcloth, sits beside R on the bed and sticks the thermometer in his armpit*

R: *peeks to look at M*

M: Check ko lang ha? *speaks gently and laces her fingers through his hair* Tulog ka lang. Punasan kita ng konti ha? Sorry sa istorbo.

R: Don't say sorry. I'M sorry. Ako ang istorbo. Alagain ako.

M: Tsk. Ano ka ba? Hindi. You're human. You get sick. Sa dami ng trabaho mo at responsibilidad, di maiiwasang mapagod at magkasakit. Kahit gustuhin mo na maging Superman, Ironman o Astroboy, hindi naman pwede. Sino pa bang mag-aalaga sa'yo kundi ang asawa mo? Alangan namang ipaalaga kita sa iba. Gusto ko to. Gaya nang gusto mong inaalagaan kita. Alam mo kung bakit?

R: *nods his head* Mahal mo ako gaya ng mahal kita.

M: Tumpak! Galing talaga. *pinches his cheek*

R: *smiles the best smile he can despite his pounding headache* I love you.

M: *smiles and touches his cheek* I love you too. *hears a beep, looks at the thermometer* 37.9 may konting fever pa. Halika. *starts wiping R with the damp washcloth starting from his forehead* Punas lang. Tapos iluluto muna kita ng soup para makainom ka ng gamot.

R: *quietly watches M*

M: *sighs* Sometimes I wish you would take a break pero alam ko naman na gusto mo to. Matagal mong hinintay na maging ganito ka-busy. Hinihintay ko na lang na ikaw na ang umayaw. *raises his arm and continues to wipe*

R: Love...

M: Hmmm?

R: Thank you.

M: *smiles at R* Wala yun.

R: Hindi yun wala. Sobra kaya. Yung pang-unawa at pag-aalaga mo, walang kapantay. Kagabi ka pa walang tigil. Mula pagsundo sa akin puro pag-aasikaso na sa akin ang ginawa mo. Dinner, meds, warm shower tapos massage pa after. Ikaw pa lahat ang naghanda ng mga dadalhin ko. Dun pa lang grabe nang alaga tapos ngayon may pagpunas pa. Love, really. Okay na ako. Kaya to.

M: So aalis na ako? *raises an eyebrow*

R: Wag! Hindi ganoon. *frowns* Ang ibig kong sabihin, magpahinga ka din. Mahirap kung pareho pa tayong magkasakit. Dito ka na lang. Tabi tayo. Hug and kiss na lang. *smiles*

M: Paano yung gamot mo? Kailangan mapababa natin yang lagnat mo. Paano ka mamaya sa concert at sa flight?

R: Bababa na yan. Magaling ang nurse ko eh. *holds M's hand and caresses her cheek*

M: Okay. Mag-paracetamol ka man lang. At least ito pwede kahit di ka pa kumain. Here. *gets a tablet from the bedside table and pours a glass of water from the pitcher there*

R: *opens his mouth as M pops the tablet in and makes him drink some water* Okay. Tara na dito. *gently tugs on M's hand to make her lie beside him*

M: *scoots closer to R and cuddles with him* Sleep ka na ulit. You need more rest.

R: *yawns* Okay. Kiss muna.

M: *kisses his cheek* Ang init mo talaga. Dapat talaga makapag-soup ka para pawisan ka at mawala ang init.

R: May alam akong pampapawis. *smirks*

M: *giggles* Hoy! Matulog ka. Haharot ka pa eh.

R: Bakit di ba pwede? *wiggles his eyebrows and caresses her side*

M: Naku ka... Matulog ka muna. Pag-usapan natin paggising mo.

R: Okay. Basta dito ka lang.

M: Opo. Dito lang ako. *smiles and snuggles on his chest*

R: *pulls M closer and nuzzles in her hair until he falls asleep*

--

R: *wakes up and finds the space beside him empty* Love? *looks around the room and sees he's alone, gets up and walks to the kitchen*

M: Oh! Bakit bumangon ka na?

R: Sabi mo, di mo ako iiwan doon. *pouts, walks closer to her and hugs her from the back as she stirs the pot of soup*

M: Eh kasi naman you have to eat. Nagluto muna ako. *reaches her hand out to feel his forehead* Wala nang lagnat. Buti naman.

R: Magaling kasi yung nag-aalaga sa akin.

M: Sino? *smirks*

R: Eh di yung asawa kong pinakamaganda. *kisses her shoulder*

M: *laughs* Wow. Lakas mambola. Mukhang kaya mo na nga ah. *turns off the stove* Ayan. Kain ka na muna.

R: *whispers on her skin* Mamaya na. *starts trailing kisses up the side of her neck*

M: *moans* Pero...

R: Sabing mamaya na eh... *whispers heatedly in her ear* Mag-uusap muna tayo di ba? *nibbles her ear as his hand glides down her hip to her inner thigh*

M: *bites her lip to stifle a moan* Oo. Mag-uusap tayo ng masinsinan. *turns to face R and takes his shirt off* 🙈
