Eh Yung Hindi Naman Tayo? DATI (COMPLETED)

Sick Bae 2

September 1, 2017, 12:00am:

As you said, a.k.a. demanded, I went straight home to Laguna after rehearsals. Physically exhausted and emotionally disappointed, I slept through the whole trip.

I half-drag myself out of the car and into the front where Dad meets me.

"Oh, nak. Masama pa din pakiramdam mo?" He asks worriedly.

"Lumala pa ata, Dad. Nadagdagan ng lungkot dahil ayaw makipagkita ni Meng." I sigh as we walk inside.

"Ows? Bakit daw?"

"Pagaling daw muna po ako."

"Nag-aalala lang yun, nak. Mahirap na din naman kung mahawaan mo siya baka kung ano masabi ng mga balae ko." Dad says and I could have giddily laughed at the way he addressed your parents if I wasn't feeling so horrible.

"Dad, tulog na po ako." I tell him.

"Ay! O sige, nak. Akyat ka na sa kwarto mo at magpahinga kung makakapagpahinga ka." He snickers.

"Ang weird mo, Dad. Goodnight po." I say and hug him.

"Goodnight, nak." He smirks.

Yes. Dad is definitely being weird.

I go upstairs and walk to my room. I am about to open it when I sense some movement inside.

"Mommy? Sipon lang po ito. Wag niyo po akong multuhin. Magpapakasal at magkaka-anak pa po kami ni Meng." I mumble as I turn the doorknob.

"Ang tagal mo naman." Your voice greets me as soon as I open the door.

My eyes dart around the bedroom and I find you sitting on the massage chair.

"Ayos pala to noh?" You sigh and close your eyes as the massager stops. "Gusto ko din."

"Sa'yo na." I mumble still staring at you in disbelief. I shake my head awake but I still can't seem to grasp what's happening. "Love? A-anong gina... How? Bakit? Andito... Jusko!" I ramble incoherently.

Ganoon na ba kalala at nananaginip na ako ng gising?

You giggle and stand up then walk towards me and place your hands on my arms. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. You're really here.

"Andito ako para alagaan ka." You say softly. "I miss you."

I open my eyes and see your smile which made me lose myself. I wrap my arms around you and lift you up from the floor as I hold you as tight and close to me as I can. I maybe hugging you too tight because I can hear you gasp for air for a few seconds but you did not complain instead you hug me back as tight as you can too.

"I want to kiss you." I whisper breathlessly.

"Kiss me." You whisper back.

"Baka mahawaan kita."

You shrug. "Baka. Hindi sure. Let's test that theory." You say as you pull my collar and press your lips on mine.

When I come out of the warm shower, you are already waiting for me with a bowl of hot soup and some fruits.

"Kain na. Tapos inom na ng gamot." You say.

I nod my head and eat everything you feed me like a good boy. Even though my tongue has lost all its senses and the food is tasteless to me, your smile gives me all the appetite I need to eat to my fill.

After that, you make me sip some ginger tea while you massage my shoulders and back and tell me stories about your last day in Japan. Your hands are so soft yet your strokes are firm enough to soothe me.

"Sleepy?" You ask when you see me yawn.

I nod my head and smile. You check your watch. "Sige. Pwede mo na inumib yung gamot tapos higa ka na."

You give me the medicine and a glass of water then help me to bed after I took it. You sit on the side of the bed and smile and you raise the blanket to my chest.

"Tulog ka na." You tell me gently as you run your fingers through my hair, giving me a little scalp massage. "Mamaya na ako lilipat sa kwarto ni Riza pag tulog mo."

"Dito ka na lang. Tabi tayo." I tell you sleepily.

"Pero..."

"Please. I promise to be a good boy. Just stay here. Yakapin mo lang ako." I yawn again and look at you with half-lidded eyes.

You sigh and smile. "Sige na nga. Alam mo namang marupok ako. Hindi kita matiis." You chuckle.

You slip beside me on the bed and wrap your slender arms around my back as we lie facing each other.

You smell so good. You feel so warm and soft. You feel like home.

I pull you closer and snuggle on the crook of your neck as you kiss my forehead.

"Goodnight, Love. I love you." You whisper.

I yawn and inhale deeply, breathing in your sweet scent as much as my stuffy nose would allow me.

"I love you more, Menggay ko. Thank you." I murmur before I doze off in your arms. 💛
