"Love..." I whispered half asleep in the middle of the night and moved to pull you closer to me.

When I realized you were not beside me, I was jolted awake. I quickly sat up and looked around my bedroom. "Love?" My voice echoes back with no response. I jumped out of bed. "Meng..." I called, trying not to succumb to the panic that started to creep in. 

I let out a sigh of relief when I heard sounds from my en-suite bathroom. I thought I heard retching sounds so I hurried towards it. I knocked and called your name again. I was worried. It sounded like you were vomiting your gut out. You did not answer so I waited until I heard the flush and the tap turn on then off. A couple of minutes later the door opened and you emerged from it. You quietly walked towards me and leaned your head on my chest. I instinctively wrapped my arms around you. "Are you okay, my love?" 

"Uwi na ako sa condo." Your voice sounded tired and you looked pale.

"Bakit? Hindi ka ba makatulog? Masama ba ang pakiramdam mo? Okay ka lang? You want your silk sheets? Pwede kong palitan yung beddings." 

"Wag na. Uwi na lang ako."

"Tayo. Sasama ako siyempre. Pero paano yung usapan niyo ni Lola na magluluto kayo bukas ng arroz caldo for breakfast?"

"Next time na lang, Love. Ayoko din makita ako ni Lola na ganito. Mag-aalala yun."

 I gently pulled away from you and cradled your face in my hands. I looked at you with genuine concern. "Ano bang nangyayari? Okay ka lang? May problema?" 

You shook your head and smiled to reassure me, albeit weakly. "I just want to go home."

I nodded. "Okay." I kissed your forehead and pulled you into a hug. "Okay, Love. Halika na."

We left quietly to not wake anyone and drove to Metro Manila. You fell asleep just five minutes into our trip. An hour later we were along EDSA and about to make a turn to Ortigas when you woke up, grunting and writhing in pain, curling into fetal position and clutching your belly. 

"Meng! Jusko!" I reached for you while I kept one hand on the wheel. "Anong nangyayari?"

"I'm okay." You whispered. You took a deep breath then looked at me, trying to look normal but miserably failing. "Uwi na tayo."

"Hindi. Dadalhin na kita sa hospital ngayon. 

"Ayoko nga ng hospital." You pouted.

"Hindi! Hindi pwede yang katigasan ng ulo mo ngayon, Nicomaine. Pupunta tayo ng hospital ngayon na. Tatawagan ko na si Dean pati sina Nanay at Tatay."

"Jay..."

"No." I glared at you. "Kanina pa masama pakiramdam mo ano? Hindi ka na naman nagsabi. Tinago mo na naman." Mixed emotions filled me.

"Sorry. Ayoko lang mag-alala ka."

"Ano sa palagay mo ngayon? Hindi lang ako nag-aalala, I'm terrified, Nicomaine." I didn't mean to raise my voice at you but the fear that was gripping me was too much as I drove to the emergency entrance.

"I'm sorry..." Your voice cracked you started crying softly.

I sighed and held your hand as I stopped the car. "No. I'm sorry, Love. Hindi kita dapat pinagtaasan ng boses. Nag-panic lang. Andito na tayo. Please. Sumunod ka na lang ha?" 

You nodded your head. "I'm scared too, Love." You whispered and your eyes showed me just how much.

"Wag kang matakot. Andito ako. Sasamahan kita. Aalagaan. You'll be okay. Halika na ha?" I said and kissed your hand.

"People will see you." You started to protest.

"You really think I care about that right now? Ikaw. Ikaw lang ang nasa isip ko ngayon. Ikaw lang." I told you firmly. "Tigilan mo na ang kakakontra mo kung ayaw mong isampay kita sa balikat ko papasok sa emergency room. Mas malaking eksena yun." I squinted my eyes and looked at you sternly to tell you that I am dead serious.

You sighed and nodded your head. "Okay."

With that I got off the car and helped you down then took you inside.

Some time later, you were taken to your private suite. Nanay and Tatay were already on their way. The dawn was already breaking. 

I caressed your cheek as I held your frail hand in my palm. I sighed and kissed your hand. 

"Don't worry na. Andito na ako oh." You smiled at me. 

"Don't scare me like that again. Magsasabi ka agad. Kahit anong pakiramdam mo." I told you.

"Opo." You cupped my cheek with the hand that I held and stroked it with your thumb. "You should get some rest. May work ka pa mamaya."

"Dito lang ako. Babantayan kita."

"Yun naman ang hindi pwede. Wag kang magpabaya para lang sa akin. I won't let you. Take care of yourself too. Pagdating ni Nanay, umuwi ka muna sa condo para makatulog. Balik ka na lang pagkatapos ng work mo."

"Yes, Love." I sighed and kissed the palm against my cheek. "I love you. Pagaling ka. Pagaling ka agad please." 

"Opo." You smiled. "I love you more."
